Beautiful, Sensitive Skin Regime!


Now that I have finally mastered my skin care and make-up routine with my awesome skin allergies, I am going to share them with you!
I wash my face twice a day or after the gym with a dime size amount of Loreal Go 360 Clean Cleanser for Sensitive Skin. The scrublet is soft and stimulating while providing gentle ex-foliation. In the morning, I apply CetaPhil Daily Intense Moisturizer and in the evenings I apply a small amount of perscription Aczone, after patting my face dry. There. That it!

For my make-up, I dab on to any spots Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup, and then apply an overall coat on my face, blending in the spots. I sweep Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blush, and a light dusting of Physicans Formula Sensitive Skin powder on my t-zone. I swipe on some Neutrogena Lash Tint in black and a little chapstick. It is super natural, has spf 20, and can be worn all day. To go out at night I rub on a little black or brown eyeliner and maybe some white shimmer on my brow bones. It a subtle look that is always appropriate.

EPIC LIST

I have found the motherload. I have found the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services list of household produccts containing Methylisothiazolinone.
This is so incredibly awesome.  Look at this!

Hair and Make-up

First off the good news. Neutrogena Shampoos and Conditioners do not contain Methylisothiazolinone, the chemical I am so desperately allergic to. This is part of the Isothiazolinone Mix. I will post a complete ingredient list once I purchase the stuff. I need more moisture for my hair, it is getting frizzy.


On the down side, I am having more difficulty than one would believe in finding the ingredients in a variety of common foundations. Don't worry though, I am  going to hunt them down and post them.

Finally, some hair relief!

Today, I finally got some serious hair relief. Trust me, it was needed. I have a severe allergy to the anti-fugal ingredient used in about 99% of all shampoo. The only other shampoo I have been able to find at the drugstore that did not contain this chemical was baby shampoo. My hair was so fragile and brittle. I went to Trader Joes this past week and picked up their Tea Tree Tingle shampoo and conditioner. I love it! It is extremely pure and has few chemical additives. The conditioner is rich and creamy. My hair is soft, shiny, silky, and I am not allergic to it! It smells fresh and minty and has a cool tingling sensation on my scalp. At $3.99 for each bottle, how can I argue?

Upcoming Changes

To my dear, albeit minuscule readership,
     In light of my recent and severe new skin sensitivity, The Devil's Beauty Blog is going to take on a rapid change. A violent shift in a new direction. I have found the internet bizarrely and upsettingly empty on the topic of compiling lists of cosmetics that contain severe allergens. Additionally I am disturbed by the difficulty of find a complete list of ingredients for many cosmetics and make-ups.
     Therefore, I will be focusing the nature of this blog now on hypo-allergenic products for those of us with serious allergies. Additionally I will be providing complete ingredient lists for more obscure products. Like foundation. Because I cannot find a list of ingredients for 3 of my foundations. That is absurd.
Hang on kids.
Not what you saw coming? Good.

Gyaru Follow up


So this is a follow-up to my earlier post on Gyaru style and make-up. This is my version of gyaru. Sorry for the terrible lighting, my dorm and my webcam are not friends.

Important things to note-

- Black eyeliner, Big Lashes, and lots of light shadow all the way around the eyes. That means on the lid and under the lash line.

- Rest of the face is neutral beige, maybe even a little darker than my normal make up.

- Pink or neutral lip. Neutral is more traditional, but I wanted to look a little more barbie-ish.

- Finally, big curly hair. My hair is not long enough really, but I'm trying!
