So I decided to dye my hair...

TAKE THREE: I hate photobucket. It froze up three times and the last time I copied my blog text, photobucket copied a link to one of my pictures so I will retype AGAIN x_x

Alright so I needed a pick me up. Working three jobs then cutting down to two has been hard to come off of. Top that off with not sleeping well and, I've been a cranky bear.

I miss Vegas.
I miss my red hair.
I miss what I was a year ago.

Today I decided to go back to my roots...well, my fake ones with the help of hair dye :)

And on a Side Note

Please mail me one of everything from this site Black Baccara Oils because everything looks devine and amazing. I wish to have all the scents ON OR BEFORE my birthday, October 7th.

:)

Help Me Out Readers!!

Alright, so when my boyfriend and I met, I always wore this patchouli oil perfume. Just patchouli by itself, no other scents added.

Since I have been selling BeautiControl, I have used their lotions and cremes, my favorite being the Spa Sugar Squeeze, which is s light citrus-y smell--yummy for summer!

Well, it was brought to my attention, that well, my boyfriend misses the patchouli I have since retired within the past year. Not that I do not enjoy the scent, it has just taken the back burner in my medicine cabinet.

Well now, I am on a quest to find patchouli EVERYTHING: soaps, lotions, shampoos!

I have been searching on Etsy for the past hour or so, trying to find anything remotely interesting from sellers that look like they have good reviews. So far, I have three conversations out, with one that has agreed to send me samples of two of her patchouli scents!

Anyone a fan of patchouli/woodsy-type scents that could point me in the direction of a website or Etsy shop?

I like sandalwood, frankinscence and myrrh, nag champa, and of course, patchouli!

I am asking Etsy owners if they would be willing to ship me a few samples of their products, because I don't see the purpose in buying 10-30 full sizes of shampoos/washes/lotions and not liking the scents of half or more of them, thus wasting space in my cabinets and empyting my wallet :(


So PLEASE, if anyone knows or knows someone that MIGHT know of somewhere to direct me to, please direct them to my blog and comment!!


Thanks!

Skincare Regime

Alright, as most bloggers do this, I thought I'd share my newest skincare regime with you.

I became an independent consultant for a company called BeautiControl. BC has been around for 30 years and I just barely heard about it late-March. What I like about the company is they try to keep their ingredients as natural as possible, and have a few lines to help people with problem skin find what is right for them.

The other thing that is interesting is that BC doesn't do catalog sales or parties as Avon and Mary Kay does (although you can!), we get to do home spas for people! It's actually fun and can be very relaxing to a small group of ladies.

So if you're interested in this opportunity (you can win a car, trips, FREE STUFF--I'm not lying, I was skeptical at first, 'til I got my first two packages of items!) please email me @ incessant_beauty@yahoo.com or go to my site www.beautipage.com/K_Rachelle --I can set you up to become a rep, or can help you find out what skincare regime would be best for you!

ANYWAY, sorry for trying to sell :D

I start off with this in the AM
BC Spa Gel Cleanser with a dab of
BC Spa Exfoliating polish
BC Spa AHA Tonic (it's basically a toner)
BC Spa Defend and Restore SPF 20 Lotion

and in the PM
BC Spa Gel Cleanser with a dab of
BC Spa Exfoliating polish
BC Spa AHA Tonic (it's basically a toner)
Yes to Tomatoes Facial lotion...it's a bit heavier so I use it as a night cream

On Monday nights I use BC's Microdermabrasion treatment, which is a chemical peel (fruit acid-based, no harsh chemicals!), followed by the resurfacing scrub with their handheld brush. I was told you can use these to lighten dark spots and scars, which I am trying on some weird freckle things that have appeared on my chest a few years ago (I think it's from birth control) so I'm going to test this theory.

Once or twice a week I use the Instant Manicure hand scrub followed by the Extreme repair hand creme, as well as the Lip Apeel, which is a lip masque that treats chapped/dry lips and gets rid of the waxy residue/buildup from normal lipstick wear.

I have been doing this skincare regime for two weeks, and although I have had a few big pimples, I honestly feel like these products are working! The blackheads are coming out from my chin and my pores look a lot cleaner around my nose and cheeks! I never have been interested in commercial products---I've tried Proactiv, MaryKay, and numerous drugstore brands, all to no avail. I have used the Oil Cleansing method for almost two years until I became interested with BeautiControl within the past month. Maybe my skin has changed since I first started doing the OCM, but BC's skincare is working for me.

I am also very oily, hence why I used the OCM, and whenever I do use a product, I tend to produce more oil because it dries me out so much after I wash my face. BC's Spa line has nearly balanced out my oil/dryness, which helps especially with my Meow foundation =D

The only thing that does drive me up the wall is because the lotion has SPF, it has that "oily LOOK" until you brush over a mattifying powder..that's why I stopped using sunscreen because I hate the oil slick look on my face. But I'd rather go over my face with a mattifying powder than have sun damaged skin, so I'll do the extra step!

Once again, if you're interested in trying some of their products, there just may be a rep in your area, or you can order off my site, which is linked above :) Also their margarita lotion is orgasmic (pardon my innuendo)

I'll post pictures when I can get my butt up and back into beauty mode!

Dear BB Jayde/ Everyday Diva,

Please come back already! I miss your lotions and acne skincare! :(
