So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Looking Pretty
Thursday. 4.14.11 9:14 pm
After I handed in my thesis, I looked in the mirror and saw myself, gaunt, pale, with dark circles under my eyes, hair with ends like straw, an outfit made completely of navy sweat-clothes that are several sizes too large.

I went to Target.

I went to the health and beauty aisles. I was going to go on a shopping binge, and I was going to make myself look PRETTY, dammit!

So I bought a cucumber face mask. It came with a special cream made for putting under your eyes to make them look less tired. I also got some cream that is supposed to eliminate fine lines [my thesis gave me exactly three fine lines]. It was expensive. I got the ones for "sensitive skin" and the "hypo-allergenic" ones, since I'm sometimes allergic to things like that.

I used them for a couple of days. Everything was great. My skin was soft and smooth, and my under-eye circles seemed to be disappearing. I was so happy at the results, I slathered more on each day.


But I was allergic. It was a delayed reaction.


Now the sides of my face near my hairline, my left ear, and under my eyes have erupted in an incredibly itchy rash. The lymphnode near my ear has swollen. The rash extends around my left eye making the skin red and raised... all except for my three fine lines, which now stand out in sharp relief.

THANKS FOR NOTHING, STUPID PRODUCTS!! YOU ARE NOT MAKING ME PRETTY !!! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!

Now I'm just hoping the reaction will go away in time for my thesis defense next Tuesday. Until then I'll be sitting on my hands so I can resist tearing my face off with my fingernails.

HOW'S THAT FOR A HAPPY ENTRY, MIDDAYMOOOOOOON!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek. D: Skin reactions are awful... Thankfully I don't usually get them on my face, though. Just the entire rest of my body. X|

HOPE YE HEAL QUICKLY.

WHAT
Don't blame me! Any rational person would have saved the money and taken a long bath and/or nap. :D

I thought you would like it, if you had the time!

I missed your igloo post! It's very interesting to know how you can just cut through ice like that.

I hope your face heals quickly!! I usually use organic stuff to avoid these reactions but not all organic stuff out in the market is as organic as they claim.

Wow that sounds horribe! I hate skin reactions. Bug bite are the worst for me. When I lived in FL, I'd get mosquitoe bites and I'd subconsiously end up scratching my skin raw around the bite and I'd end up with scars from it. Lucky for me, my skin is so white the scars eventually just blended. I hope you heal soon!!!

Oh no! I hope that you feel better soon. There is nothing worse than an allergic reaction that you can't really do anything about.

CUCUMBER FACE MASK? I hate US, they have everything.

MY EYE CIRCLES ARE AS BIG AS MY EYES NOW. So it's like big shadows under my eyes ;_;
