On Happenings & Face Food

Things that happened this weekend:

Bacon’s puke-free car ride, pie-making, mother’s day brunching, farmer’s market shopping…I can’t complain! :)

Warning: I’m about to go all lifestyle-blogging on you so you can skip the rest of this post if you give zero fucks about DIY skincare remedies.

My morning make-up routine is less than five minutes long.

• Morning: cleanser, moisturizer, eyeliner, lipstick (when I need to be fancier or have multiple face-to-face meetings in a day, I do the whole foundation/blush get-up.)
  
• Night: make-up remover, cleanser, moisturizer

On a good day, I would be multitasking with breakfast sandwich in one hand and eyeliner in the other. It’s pretty clear that I’m a no fuss kind of a person when it comes to my face.

The other day I spotted an article on DIY blackberry skincare recipes and I was kind of intrigued because most of the $$ I spend on beauty products go to moisturizers and masks for no rational reason – maybe I can attempt to cut costs in this department? I’ve made body scrubs before but I’ve never done a DIY skincare treatments for my face – I’m terrified that my face is going to break out/explode. A few recipes I’m curious about and have thought about trying:

• Grapefruit Detox Mask
• Avocado Face Mask
• Blueberry Exfoliating Mask
• Kiwi Face Scrub
  

Have you guys ever tried DIY skincare stuff for your face? Did it work? Did your face explode?
