Acne Scars + What I Use On Them!!!

Hey everyone!!!

So today I thought I would do a post on my enemy, acne scars.

If you don't have them, you're extremely lucky! And if you don't know what they are, they're exactly what the name sounds like!!

When you get acne, and pick at it, it leaves a scar on your face. Or in my case, if you get acne and leave it so it won't scar, it scars anyways.

But it leaves little red marks all over, making it look like you have acne, even if you don't.

These are my acne scars.

Like most people, they're on my cheeks and chin.

I took these pictures less than an hour ago, and although it looks like I have a bit of acne, I actually only have two pimples, and only one is visible in these pictures. The rest are scars.

I have extremely oily skin, and usually tend to break out on my chin, neck, cheeks occasionally, under my nose, temples, and very very rarely on my forehead.

These acne scars have been acquired over the last seven years.

When I was 14, I didn't see a point in ever washing my face. So I never did until I was 15 and moved to a new school.

Whenever I get a break out on my cheeks or chin, it scars no matter how careful I am with it.

I admit, I used to pick at it lots because it bothered me, and that didn't help at all!

But the last six months I got serious and stopped, but it all still scars for me.

My mom and I have tried tons of products to try and fade them, but none really worked until recently.

I'll also do a post later on about my skin care routine so you can see that. :3 Cause it's been working pretty good!!

But of all the products I've used, ProActiv was definitely the worst.

It broke me out because my skin didn't like the cleanser, and it scarred like crazy!

I also plan on doing a post on that!

Let me know if you guys are interested in that!

But let's jump into the products I've used that have helped!!

Yes to Grapefruits: Dark Spot Correcting Serum

This is definitely one of the major things that has helped with my scarring. Believe it or not, my skin was about 5x worse than it is right now.

But I've been using this for the past two months or so, and it's helped so much!

I plan on doing a review on this soon.

Nicel Daily Repair

I actually haven't been using this as often, just because of the Yes to Grapefruits serum. My nighttime skin care routine already has so many steps, and adding this in is hard. And having to find where to add it in at is harder.

But when I was using this, it helped fade the spots, and even out my redness. :3 I plan on using it again soon!

Grease Lightning

This is a spot treatment from LUSH. I had heard a ton of people rave about it, and finally decided to buy it after receiving a sample of it. I really enjoy it!

Instead of drying out the pimple instantly and making it flakey and gross, it slowly heals it. :3

Apple Cider Vinegar

This is the final thing I use, and it's the one I've been using the longest.

I've been using this for about two years on and off, for multiple reasons.

The smell is horrendous, and it really burns the eyes to get anywhere near it!

But it did help to fade scars a little bit when I used it. :3

I plan on reviewing all of these products eventually, and going into more detail with each and every one!!

Acne isn't fun, but dealing with acne scars is even worse!

But since using all these products, I've had multiple people tell me how much better my skin works. :3

And if you want to see a cheap and easy way to cover acne scars, let me know! I can do a video/post on that as well!

I hope you all have a lovely day and take the time to appreciate the little things! ^__^

October Favourites 2013!!!

Hey everyone!!!

I'm a little late this month, but I'm back with my October favourites!!!

I'm really excited to be sharing these products with you guys!

So let's just jump right into it because I can't wait!

So here's an overview of everything. :3 I think two might have been featured in a previous post, but that's fine.

So this really doesn't have any order, at all!

But this has definitely been my favourite cover up for the month. I've already ordered another one since I'm starting to run out.

But I already did a full review on it here if you want to read that.

But I really like this because it covers up everything and is just super fantastic basically. It makes me a little pale, but I like being pale so that's fine.

Next up we have my favourite eyeliner! It was actually a tie between this and another, but I used this one more, especially towards the end of the month.

I got this in my Ipsy bag a while back, and actually really enjoy the brand in general!

I just did a review on this last week, but it's the ELF Smudge Brush. I've really been loving this to put a little bit of eyeshadow on my lower lash line for a pop of colour.

This is my favourite eyeshadow, and I don't know why I've never mentioned it before! I've been using it since the summer, but just lately started becoming even more obsessed with it.

And it's the Revlon Vital Radiance Mousse Eyeshadow! :3 I actually don't know the colour of it because it was on the packaging and I threw it out months ago.

But it's just a mousse eyeshadow and looks really natural for when I want something light and effortless. And it doesn't crease on me a ton either, which I like!

Next up we have this ELF Blush and Bronzer Duo compact thingy majiggy.

The colour name, again, isn't on the back, but that's fine.

I bought it from my work for $3 and at first, I really hated it. But then I used it recently and the blush was just really pretty and not too dark.

And the bronzer part is also really nice! It's the only bronzer I've used that actually blends with my skin nicely!

This! Oh my gosh, I had been searching for this for months! But I finally got it at the beginning of the month, and it's a love hate relationship with this.

I love this because it's been helping with my acne scars, but it's really flakey and annoying to use with a lot of my foundations.

But I plan on reviewing this soon so watch out for that. :3

This is actually my only non makeup product haha!

But it's the Garnier Fructis Instant Repair Mask. :3 I bought this from my work at the beginning of the month, and after one use, I was hooked. I've actually been using this as my conditioner the past two weeks too.

It just makes me hair really soft and feels amazing!!!

My second last product is my Skin79 Highlighter! I don't know the exact name for it, but I looked at a bunch of korean makeup on eBay and this came up. The pretty colours attracted me!

I'm really iffy with highlighters because my skin is really oily and I don't want to overdo it, but I use this with my bronzer and blush duo, and it's just really pretty.

And pastel!!

Last, but definitely not least, is my ELF Little Black Beauty Book: Night Edition!

I saw this at my work for $5, and knew I had to get it.

I have the huge 100 colour eyeshadow palette from ELF, but it's hard to travel with because it doesn't fit in my makeup case, and I don't wanna crack the colours. But this works perfect!

And it has some really nice colours in there.

I've been using this with the smudge brush I mentioned, and been putting the glittery purple and blue colours on my lash line a lot, then using the matte black colour over my eyeliner so it doesn't smudge.

Overall, it's a great find and I love it so much!

These are all the things I've been loving lately, and if you guys have a monthly favourites post or video, definitely send me a link! :3

Mini Shoppers Haul!!!

Hey everyone!!!

Sorry for totally being MIA all of last week, but I was busy with lots of things.

I'm back now though! :3

I also have exciting news in the future, one of which contains a giveaway!! :D

But moving on. ;3

I went shopping today after work, and originally I wasn't planning on buying anything. But then I saw something I had been wanting, and that just started the whole 'I need to buy things' idea.

This is just an overview of what I bought, so you guys can see. :D

I got everything from Shoppers, who also gave me a $10 gift card. Huzzah!!!

I can't even contain my excitement!! :D

I've been looking for this product, and wanting it ever since it came out. And my shoppers didn't carry it for the longest time.

But today I decided to take a peek around the corner (where they have the Yes To display) and saw the pink. I've probably only screamed that loud twice. Once when I was playing Slenderman with a friend and the other when a giant dog scared the crap out of me.

Some of you may know, or you may not, but both my cheeks and chin are covered in acne scars. I've heard nothing but good things about this, and I'm excited to try this! I'm hoping it's worth the money.

Ha. I only bought this because if I spent another few dollars, I got the gift card. But I tried the tester out, and it felt pretty nice on my skin.

I've heard pretty good things about this though, which is a good thing. 

And I've also been using the concealer for this line and really been liking it.

I saw this and was pretty excited. Literally just for the colours.

But they had a sample, so I tried using it. Lol not going to lie, it reminded me of icing. The consistency it nice though. It felt pretty matte, from what I remember. I haven't heard anything about this, but I hope it's good. :3

Last but not least is the Revlon Photoready BB Cream. :3

I've heard mixed reviews on this. Some really hate it but others really like it. I decided to give it a shot though. The tester felt pretty nice on my hand. Matte, which I like.

And it has SPF 30 so YAAAAAAY.

So yup! That's all I got. :3

I'm really excited to try it all out. :D
