That was the last post in the Worth the Hype? series. (click on the link to see them all) I hope you liked!
Now, I would like to say that I wrote those posts because I enjoyed it. And it would be true, because I did. But why did I start? I mean, I didn’t begin as a beauty blogger, I began as a personal blogger. I still am, I just…don’t want to think too much about my life right now.
Though, I’m starting to think that maybe I should. So, I’m off to go write that, and I’ll post it tomorrow.
There are two ‘big names’ when it comes to cleansing: one is Cetaphil, known for its simple formula that’s said to be great for sensitive skin. The other is water. Really, we all use it to cleanse!
Anyhow, on a less punny note…
I’ve tried Cetaphil. I’ve also tried to like it. I’ve tried on many occasions. But y’know what? It’s just not happening! I do not like Cetaphil! (There, I said it. Are you happy now?) It made me break out, and was simply boring. I like cleansers that foam, or smell good, or make my skin squeaky-clean – this was so plain that it didn’t touch on any one of those. I didn’t look forward to using it, as I do with my usual crop of cleaners. Plus, the whole breaking out thing was a downer!!
I’m hoping for no hate mail on this one, but if you really insist, I guess I can’t stop you! :P (Oh, and I hate the packaging revamp. How totally cheap does it look now? Yah. Cheaper than Wet n’ Wild cheap. Cheaper than the 99cent store cheap. Cheeeeeeap!)
The verdict: Not worth the hype. I hate, hate, hate, this product!
Also: the Worth the Hype? series is almost over, so if there is anything you think I may have missed, please feel free to comment on this post or email me within the next few days!!
September 26th, 2007, theNotice was born. Since then, we’ve done our fair share of things.
Our first review, of the delicious Body Shop Cocoa Butter stick.
When we told you about our weight issues. I’m still dealing with this, and getting nowhere. It got better, but that didn’t stick. We started at 112, slid down slowly to 105, 104, 103. We plateaued on 102.4 for the longest time, and hit an all-time low at 99.7 pounds.
We were diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-Whyte. In retrospect, it was the best and worst possible thing that could have happened to me. Why? Because I fell in love with it. And now it’s gone.
Our family is so pathetically fucked up that it makes me want to scream, or cry, or possibly just take a tumble off the roof. And it’s all your fault. Thing is… if you weren’t here, it would be great. You know why? Because Dad‘s never home, mom‘s my best friend, and my sister can be just what you need some days.
Started attaching lyrics to not only blog posts, but also people. This post; Stars.
Realized what I want, and what I cannot have.
We fixed your frizzy winter hair and shiny faces, not to mention saving your skin as you age by tipping you off to a great new sunscreen.
Found (and showed you) two really fantastic contour blushes.
We feel excluded every Sunday morning…but really, what are we missing?
Found a holy grail blusher. And even gave you a brush rundown so you can put it on every morning.
Talked about Sarah Palin, and it was well-recieved.
I scare myself shitless every night. Being hunted by serial killers that are mailmen and also demons. Killing my best friend. Having to pick only one person to save. Sending a little boy to hell. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Gave you guys a few awesome tutorials.
Tried to sell necklaces, put out some pretty cool series.
We ranted about age for a while. Told you about our baggage and our past classmates (as well as our current ones), and retold the story that can be summed up in two words: assault rifle.
Showed you a cool new liner, as well as a cult classic lippie.
Realized that, at then end of the day… I am broken.
But most importantly?
Over the year, I’ve grown to love theNotice. I mean, I started talking for both of us, for god’s sake. The amount of beauty content has been upped, but not for you – for me. We’ve networked and made friends, and refrained from turning a profit… it’s still undiluted honestly, weather I’m talking about makeup or making up.
I’ve definitely grown and changed as a person, and theNotice is growing up right next to me. We’re in it for the long haul.
