burntcopperthe un-recommendation :
I like face masks. That and moisturising every day are pretty much the only beauty regimes I actually stick to. While I adore Lush stuff, I'm quite happy with generic cheap Boots or Superdrug comes-in-a-tube mud or peel-off. Deciding that my skin needed a bit more of a thorough pore cleanse than the peel-off goo can achieve (it's more like a skin-glow refresher than anything, even though it's fun), I pulled out the Superdrug Mud Therapy I'd bought a couple of months back and applied. Waited til it dried.
...And then I tried to get it off. GAH. Mud's normally fairly easy to get off, right? Takes a few minutes and a bit of rubbing, but it does come off pretty easy. This stuff was more like that awful slick glue-paste you get in primary school - you know, feels horrible, vaguely slick/sticky, takes loads of scrubbing to come off? EW. What did you *do*, Superdrug? Your previous mud-based masks were completely fine.
My skin feels fine, clean etc after actually getting it off, but the effort and icky feeling it took to get it off has had me having second thoughts about using it again.
Nano is still eluding me something chronic. :headdesk: Every time I try to write out basic plots - one line per major scene/chapter is my usual way of blocking, then add a few more details - I write about two words then go 'gaaaah'. I'm pretty sure if I just had them as my usual 'original fic that writes itself when I am *trying* to write fanfic with actual plotbunnies' I'd be able to just babble away. Bollocks.
