April Cleansers
My poor skin is having a bit of a rough time recently. I haven't quite pin pointed the exact thing thats breaking me out but it could be a primer which I've just realised as silicone in or a change in my diet. Who knows, although Im determined to get to the bottom of it all! Recently I've been using a new combo of products that I picked up on Space NK and Cult Beauty and I thought I'd share my thoughts
The Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel is more of a gel balm, I was imagining it would be more of a gel than a balm as my skin doesnt normally like balms. I have noticed that the overall appearance of my skin is much better and my congested areas (cheeks and nose) look a lot let noticeable. I love the way it feels on my skin and the way it removes my makeup with ease. It's super milky and light and leaves my skin feeing deeply cleanser and so fresh.
Whenever I use a balm I always have to follow up with another cleanser to make sure its all off my skin. I've been using the Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Clay Cleanser which again wasn't how I was expecting either. It's actually a light foaming cleanser packed full of french clay to draw out any nasties from the skin. My skin is currently a mix of scarring and active breakouts and I feel like this brightens my skin without making it feel tight or dried out.
Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches (yes, this is happening)
Los Angeles is a city of dreams. It proves itself to be worthy of this name in so many ways, but last week I discovered a culinary delight that truly defines the term "dream-worthy." Only this is no dream, people... Macaron ice cream sandwiches are a reality and they are being served at The Milk Shop in Los Angeles.
Of course I had heard about The Milk Shop before. Every Los Angeles resident I know had mentioned this to me as a must try. However, they only ever said that the ice cream sandwiches and cookies were to die for. Naturally, I thought the ice cream sandwiches would be wonderful because they incorporated the cookies. That option is available too, but the bestsellers seem to be the ice cream filled gigantic macarons. Who knew? And who could have anticipated how absolutely scrumptious they would be?
As I waited in line at The Milk Shop on Beverly (there are two, the other located in Silver Lake), I listened in on every order I could make out. People here were regulars. They were ordering ice cream sandwiches or milkshakes like they order their coffees at Starbucks in the morning. First order: The Everyday with Red Velvet and Nutella, hot fudge and hold the cherry. Second Order: Root Beer Float with an added "Don't worry, dude, I already got the Root Beer from fridge." Third Order: A dozen Ooey Gooey Double Chocolate Cookies (yes, he said the full name, not just "those cookies" with a pointed finger). And finally my order: The Fruity Pebbles Ice Cream Sandwich and the Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich, both to go. Somehow the shame of ordering two sandwiches to sample got the best of me. Call it the LA good body shame cycle. So I took it all to go and photographed the macarons on the run from the car.
Now here's my verdict. It's a one word job, as that's all that's really needed. So here we go: MAGICAL. Yes, ice cream and macarons is a combination that is quite simply heavenly in the Los Angeles heat. The purchases should come with a warning however- it's nearly impossible to finish even one. I had a few bites of each to say that I had and to accurately review the offering. I mean the things I do to keep things new and fresh on this blog, people. But, in all honesty, I couldn't have finished even one, without a bit of effort. Oh, who the hell am I trying to impress? Had I not just had lunch, I probably would have sat in the car like a gluttonous maniac and eaten both in under ten.
The Milk Shop is a must visit if you are heading to Los Angeles in the near future, people.
Now, onto the photo diary of the whole experience... as you do...
