Here I go...

Shiny!

As I sit writing this, I have a paper mask soaked in serum stuck to my face with the season premier of Rissoli and Isles on. I look like I just came off the set of Silence of the Lambs. This whole idea of a skincare routine with more than three steps was foreign concept to me until a few weeks ago. Frankly, I was lucky if I took my makeup off before I went to sleep. Six days ago I started a ten-step program I learned about on a blog about Korean skincare, otherwise known as K-Beauty. 

These things scare me...

In true Mandy fashion, I got a few books on the subject. I learned a lot about the Korean culture and their skincare practices. After six days my pores are visibly smaller and my recent breakout is clearing much faster than normal.  I’m hooked. Sheet masks, cleansing oils and serums are my new hobby. In Wisconsin we have some pretty extreme  weather to contend with and I want to find the best combination for my skin. So here I am! In keeping with the theme of trying new things I have decided to try fake eyelashes. Again. I got glue in my eye last weekend trying. But I bought a lovely kit for beginners. I am also going to try different types of makeup as well as skincare in this blog, and share what I learned with everyone who reads this far. Lots of reviews and WTFs…

I feel like I would fall if it tried walking...
