flawless

when i was about 12 years old, i wanted to use astringents. i equated growing up with being able to put on make up, using astringents and shaving my legs. but my mom told me not to use it, so i didn't. she couldn't stop me from shaving my legs though. i still do it up to now and i totally regret it. as for the make up, i've gotten over that phase. i used to put on make up on weekends. i'd lock myself in my mom's bedroom and paint my face silly. now, i can hardly put on lip gloss. i find it totally unnecessary.

by nature, i am not flawless and i don't think i ever will be. but in fairness, my complexion is great. i don't have a beauty regimen although i am seriously contemplating it. i only use Dove or Pond's on my face. i exfoliate once a month (if i don't forget). other than that, nada. my friend actually commented on my blooming countenance which i accepted as a compliment.

i tried using Olay Total Effects that my aunt brought from Hong Kong. it made my face all red and itchy. so i ditched it after two applications. i really am glad my mom stopped me from using astringents before. not only does it save me from having to pay for facial whatnot but it also kept my face looking young and fresh.
