effie: so there's like...oats. in my bathtub.
abba: ok. i don't know why that brings to mind horses. do you now have a fucking horse in your apartment, because if you do i want to ride it.
also, is your horse amazing? and does it turn into a plane?
effie: no horses
abba: damn.
effie: but you know how adrian and ryan hung out at my house on Sunday?
abba: no, but go on.
effie: alright well you know i had this idea that i should help adrian clean up a little since he's gonna be getting job interviews and shit
and ryan wanted to jump on the bandwagon
he mentioned that he feels like he looks tired and haggard
which is nonsense, he has fucking perfect skin but whatever
i looked up recipes for skin brightening masks
and lemme tell you
FUCKING MESS
but it worked
abba: what was the recipe?
effie: it's one cup plain yogurt, 1/2 a cup of oats, a tbsp of honey and a few squirts of lime juice
abba: nice. that sounds delicious.
and you leave it on?
effie: i left it on like 10 minutes
it looked like someone had vomited all over us
and the yogurt funk is pretty powerful
abba: the funk? did the lime juice curdle it or something?
effie: it might've
i guess you don't realize how strong yogurt smells until it's on your fuckin face, you know?
abba: yeah, makes sense.
effie: anyway, everyone unanimously agreed there was a difference
we all felt tighter and brighter
abba: hey, do you remember that time that you did a face mask with the Queen Helene stuff and you had a crazy reaction?
effie: OMG
and i was drunk and afraid to take benadryl
because i have to be shitfaced to really feel that SPA RELAXATION
i thought it would be brilliant to put the
mint julep mask on my t zone where i'm oily
and the
olive oil mask everywhere else where i'm dry
well ALL OF IT fucked me up
abba: ok, im glad you said the olive oil mask.
because i used it the other day and chris and i both had the WORSE REACTION
dude, MY LIPS WENT NUMB
WHAT DOES THAT
effie: what the fuck haahahhaha
umm
sexy motherplumper lip gloss does that
not even joking
that shit is fire
abba: ok, but that makes sense. WHY THE FUCK DOES OLIVE OIL MASK DO THAT
DO NOT WANT EVER AGAIN
effie: i'm sure you can make a
mask at home with olive oilin fact i remember seeing one
abba: im pretty sure you can just rub olive oil all over your face and get some really nice moisturizing benefits.
without the crazy chemical peel feeling
thats what they use to do...in the olde tymes.
effie: yeah i dunno about main-lining the EVOO, that might be a little too much for the oily parts of my face
but i know you can incorporate it as an ingredient with yogurt as the preferred base
YOGURT R00LZ
abba: i need to start using it.
effie: greek yogurt would be even better but it's expensive
abba: and so delicious. the mask wouldn't work cause ID FUCKIN' EAT THAT SHIT FIRST.
effie: ahahahahaha
OM NOM NOM FUCK MY SKIN
abba: but right now, i'm pretty satisfied with the mint julep mask on my tzone and moisturizer on my dry spots. god damn combo/oily skin makes everything so fucking complicated.
effie: I KNOW RITE
abba: what moisturizer are you using, btw?
effie: i've been using
boots
for sensitive skinit's really light
abba: ive been using
cetaphil daily with SPFz.
its pretty nice. a little goes a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way.
which is good cause the bottle was 8 frikkin' bucks for a thimble-full.
effie: cetaphil's supposed to be the shit
i got a decent sized tub of the boots stuff for not a lot
it does the job
i might switch toner though
i'm using
sea breeze but it's a little rowdy
abba: my toner is more like an acid bath.
im using
clean and clear astringent.
effie: hahahah yeah i think i'm gonna switch to
witch hazelat least the sea breeze compensates for how utterly useless my cleanser is
abba: i've never owned a cleanser that doesn't leave makeup behind. my toner always picks some nasty shit up.
im sure this can be remedied by washing twice
effie: dude right? the cottonball is like BLACK
abba: HAHAHAH
OH GOD WAS I WEARING BLACK MAKEUP
effie: hahahaha
i don't remember being in black face
abba: LOL
effie: so what i'm using right now is also by boots
it's called
beautifully balancedand the only thing going for it is that it smells strongly like scotch
abba: and rich mahogany?
effie: and leatherbound books.
many of them.
abba: lolol. alright listen. i have to get going soon.
effie: me too
abba: lets wrap this up by posting our basic routine.
for face care.
effie: cleanser, toner and moisturizer
however i'm a big fan of
proactiv scruband
origins a perfect world serumit goes on after toning and before moisturizing
tons of antioxidants
abba: i need a good serum. i love mom's
boots serum.

effie: also
origins checks and balances cleanser R00LZ
abba: for me it’s
cleanser, toner, moisturizer, eye cream. scrub once every 3 days. i'm using a
green tea, sugar, honey, lemon scrub. DIY BITCH. and the mint julep mask twice a week.
effie: WORD
