Beauty Review: Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask
I really liked how this mask looks and feels – it has an incredibly smooth, light texture and it glides on your skin like cream, though it takes a few moments to adjust to just how dark it is, and because it’s so light you need to apply several layers to really cover up your skin.
It definitely helped with my skin’s appearance – pores were minimized and my skin looked appreciably better. HOWEVER, both times I used this, I broke out afterward almost immediately in all my trouble areas. As I have acne-prone skin, this may not happen to everyone, but I don’t advise it to those who struggle with acne.
Kickstarter Tea Documentary!
My friend Natasha has launched a Kickstarter to create a tea documentary! There’s an overwhelmingly large coffee culture out there but, like her, I often feel that tea is a little overlooked here in the States. I would love to see this talented New York blogger go on a tea journey from coast to coast and film it.
Check it out! (Even a $1 pledge is appreciated:)
