Sharpshooter

Nowadays-Hot Honey Rag

This is my flapper costume.

You asked for it you got it. Halloween weather was terrible here in nyc but me and my bf made the best of it. And i jsut twantto add that i totally did consider taking the sleeves off for a more authentic look but the sleeves were hand beaded and just so gorgeous that i couldn't bring myself to do it.
I was also wearing red lipstick which doesn't show up with the black and white. I just didn't want it to be like one of those cheap sexy flapper costumes.

Sibu Facial Moisturizer

Sibu Beauty just sent me this amazing facial cream. Let me tell you a bit about their company before i do a product review. Sibu uses Sea Buckthorn as a main ingredients for all its products. Sea Buckthorn has been touted as an amazing berry that grows wild and in high altitude in Tibet. It fortifies itself with protective Omegas (!) and antioxidants . i mention this only because many of us have already been told enough times that omegas and antioxidants are great for our skin. The Sea Buckthorn has other amazing nutrients that you can read about on their website .

Now on to the review. The label on the box tells me that there is real Sea Buckthorn seed oil in the cream which is an absolute must if you are to get the full advantage of using products containing the berry. The product is %100 natural and cruelty free! The texture of the cream is a little waterier than i expected but i've gotten used to this already. It isn't such a creamy feeling over the skin which i really like because sometimes you have these other moisturizing creams that are too thick and take a while to rub in . They usually leave you with white spots that you miss while rushing in the morning only to have someone point them out to you later in the day.

No, the Sibu facial cream doesn't leave any white spots and dissolves onto skin rather quickly which allows me to put on makeup soon after applying. Throughout the day my skin feels uber soft and supple. I usually have a mixture of dry and oily skin. The skin around my nose and mouth gets very dry and irritated in cold weather but the skin around my t-zone and cheek bones gets oily. The sibu cream did wonders for my awkward facial issues because it really relieves all itchiness in my dry areas and moisturizes the other parts of my face without leaving it oily.

After using it for about a week, I can't leave my house without applying some and i carry it with me wherever I go. I haven't felt the need for reapplying throughout the day. Once in the morning leaves my skin looking and feeling great throughout the day. It even gave me a little bit of a glow . After using it this weekend i caught a glance in the mirror at work and thought, Wow, it looks like i have good skin!

Everyone has told me that it smells really good. I would describe it as a combination of tea leaves with oranges. Overall, a perfect facial cream, which is especially necessary to find with cold weather coming up. Let me also add that it did not clog my pores and no breakouts since I've started using it.

The thing is i had to get a new tumblr for privacy reasons. I would prefer to not have all of my life out there for people that know me. It's weird that it doesn't matter so much about the people who don't know me personally . But if i want to write bad things about people i know i should be free to rant. I made a new fashion related tumblr to link to my blog.

Passed Into Folklore

wearing gifted cougar boots , aa socks and a cape from Ecuador

I was really happy to find the most perfect snow boots in the mail last week and even happier when my mom bought me the perfect hand made cape poncho thing while in Ecuador earlier last month. They look so perfect together. If i wanted to go climbing in the snow i know i'm all set.

Not much happening except school work and regular work, except that i'm so determined to finally be the perfect flapper socialite this Halloween and take my costume to a bunch of different costume contests so i can win some money for that Cast of Vices bag.
