SHIT FOR YO' FACE

I'll be the first to admit I have a terrible skin care routine. The only thing you're likely to catch me doing daily is moisturising after I shower (...if I shower). However, a short while ago, a light bulb when off in my little brain and I decided, with my 25th birthday looming next year, I had better start being more prepared for the inevitable loss of my youth and good looks (ha ha).

Anyway, I digress. My first encounter with Eve Lom's Moisturiser, or Creme Hydratante if you're feeling fancy, happened when I first came to Australia as I had decided that in setting out "back-packing", I deserved a fancy schmancy cream to douse my face with every night. Well, it didn't quite happen like that - I actually hated (with a capital H) the smell of this shit for months. So there it was in my make up case, gathering dust and feeling sorry for itself. Until one day, oh one day, I decided I no longer hated (with a capital H) it's smell and so forth began our love affair. And we lived happily ever after...

Until a couple of weeks ago I decided I should perhaps add a cleanser to my "regime", and so, I have. After conducting a little research (see here) which led me to conclude that, huzzah, Eve Lom's cleaner rates quite highly among those who actually take care of their faces. So, it was settled and I began the painstaking task of procurring the stuff at discount. As usual, eBay came through and my little package arrived today And with that, it's time to get soapy.
