How much I dislike Autumn

haha jokes...(but not really)
Well since I haven't made a post in a while, and the fact that I'm super bored, I've decided to write about Autumn!

Asides from the freezing weather, fluctuating showers, drying out of my skin even more, and having to walk/bus to school, Autumn hasn't been that bad... haha. Absolutely not looking forward to Winter though (when it snows but not a lot and the roads get all slushy and adsfkljaf everything looks dirty because it's mixed with snow and rocks) Well, now that I'm here might as well talk about some things I HAVE been liking (not a lot though LOL)

Yes, that's right. Nothing better than a good ol' cup of Starbucks on a cold day. My addiction is coming back. It settled for a bit during the summer (mostly cuz I was gone in Hong Kong) but I think it's back now. I always grab one before work.... or school....

Since the temperature is dropping, many things that I like are more weather-appropriate now such as scarves and candles. I've mostly been wearing stoles though. I feel like big chunky scarves choke me but I don't really have one so I cant say for sure. I've been looking for one for a while already but to no avail have I have the perfect one. I'll probably just grab a random one at Aldo's or something.

I definitely want something like this. It's super bulky and fluffy and looks really, really warm. (Y) Perfect for someone who gets really cold ALL the time. (I really am dreading winter. I'm already freezing now, imagine when the temperature hits below zero)

I bought a candle from Bath & Body Works yesterday haha (where else would I get a candle that's not over $30?) and it was a bit of a stretch for me. Normally, I would get really light floral-ey scents but this time I got a candle called "Snowed In" It's hard to say what it smells like since it's such a unique smell but I actually quite like it. I cant burn it for too long though because it starts to smell kind of weird (like a weird bitter smell)

So everyone, I have quite the problem here. I already have dry skin to begin with and since I'm a swimming coach, the chlorine burns my skin and makes it even more dry. Now with the cold temperatures, its getting even MORE dry. (Just imagine the Sahara Desert) What should I do ;_; I have yet to find a product that actually does something to help my skin. For one, I know The Body Shop's body butters do NOT work for me. (they're just good for faking moisturized skin LOL)

I also have quite the other dilemma. Currently, I have really long hair and frankly, I'm bored of it. I have very coarse hair so it's impossible to achieve that "light and fluffy" kind of effect that I love. I'm thinking of the one above but ;_; it's so hard to decide haha. I've been growing out my hair for 5 years and if I end up not liking this cut, I would be so sad. Gah. What to do? Anyway,

Disappointing Products

Instead of giving each product that I don't like its own review, I'll just do a combined post and skim briefly over my approaches with each product. Once again, everything I buy is usually based on reviews or recommendations so its hard to really judge the product until after I've bought it.

1) Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner
  Ok, I'm not going to say that it's a BAD eyeliner, but it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. The initial uses weren't that bad (just a typical felt liner) and it doesn't really smudge. However, after a few uses, I noticed that the lines I drew were getting lighter and lighter (like it's already running out of ink) To be honest, it's not that big of a deal since all I have to do is go over the line again but.... yeah.

2) Pore Putty BB Cream
  For a BB Cream that is supposedly a number one bestseller in Japan, this product was quite disappointing for me. Maybe I'm putting on the cream wrong or something (LOL i have no idea what i'm saying...) but in reality, it just made my skin look kind of flaky and it didn't spread all that well. I have to admit, I've only tried it out once so I guess I'll give it a few more tries but I am definitely not going to be expecting much the next few times. Plus, was this product supposed to hide my pores? Definitely not.

3) Johnson's Body Care- Naturally White
  Haha I know this is a completely random product but I had to mention it. If anyone plans on lightening a tan with this ... don't. That's all I have to say. It has a weird smell and the product just sits on your skin (eventually rubbing off). I also have the body soap which I haven't used but I'm hoping it'll be a bit better.

4) Nexcare Acne Dressing
  Damn. I had such hopes for this product! Heard/read so many great reviews on this product. Didn't work at all for me. Let me just give you the gist of this product. You open it and you see these clear-yellowish stickers in all sorts of sizes on a plastic sheet. Apparently, you're supposed to put one of these stickers on a pimple and it "sucks out" the pimple. I've used this twice and zero results have shown -sadface- I bought 2 boxes too (no worries though. It was only about $5CAD)

To be honest, there are plenty more of disappointing products that I would put up but for one, I'm super lazy AND I have a bit of home reading to be doing for school (whoo... first day of school T_T)
Why couldn't summer come around more often?
