Just giving you all an update, I am still using the clay mask every night. However, now I am just leaving it on by a few minutes. The main reason is just that who the heck has time to leave a mask on their face for half an hour every day! Not me Madam... The one thing I did notice is that my face gets very red after I leave it on for that long, but that goes away by morning. So if you are going to do this right before you go out I recommend avoiding a long leave on time.
Results:
So far I am still pleased with the results. My skin is not completely clear still, so I may consider adding something to the regimen when I get home. The Bentonite clay is absolutely helping keep big pimples at bay, but I am trying to aim for perfection here people!
ONTO another topic:... Makeup!
When I wear makeup 9 times out of 10 I take it off that night and wash my face thoroughly. I still notice however that my face tends to break out when I use makeup. I am currently using Fit Me foundation in 115. I did a review about it on another post, and I am completely in love with it! I really did not ever want to change makeup. However, I am noticing that it is the trigger to breakouts once in a while.
The solution:
My sister has this covergirl nature something or other makeup that I used a couple of times while back in NJ. It seems to not make me breakout. So Today I bought some of my own in my own shade and will be testing it out and doing a review OOOOF COURSE! It would not be such a bad thing since it is more natural than the Fit Me makeup, but it is DEF more expensive. Once all of this is behind me, I want to switch to completely natural mineral makeup. However, my skin does not cover well with Bare Minerals or any other mineral makeup. It tends to just leave lines and look really cakey.
That's all on my thoughts for now... Check back in a couple of days for that review. I will also be trying out a seven day detox when I get back! New Year means New Years resolution of losing weight!

Product Review: Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Foundation 120
Hey all-
So as much as I am still very much pro DIY all natural ETC. I do love my makeup. I think if nothing else it is a fun way to play up a day or a convenient way to cover up your breakouts. I have been using Fit Me for about two months now. Like many of you I have rarely bought the same foundation twice and have a hard time finding one I get what I want out of.
My situation:
I have combination skin at it's finest. I get oily in certain areas and then flaky in other areas making my needs a lot more specific. I also have breakouts and have yet to find a be all end all solution for them so I need to control them as well. I prefer a liquid or cream to powder and have a hard time finding my color. I seem to be right in between looking really pale or looking like I fell face first in dirt. I also refuse to spend 30$ on foundation merely because I have yet to try something that I am terribly impressed with.
The makeup:
Texture: This is your typical liquid makeup, but it is a nice consistency not watery like some. It also goes on your skin super smooth. Some liquids I find get streaky or become gooey before they actually cover anything. *****
Color: Fit me has tons of shades which is one of the reasons I was attracted to it. My 120 Classic ivory is pretty close to perfect. It gets a little orange around my neck, but I think that is more me being pale and sun fearing. ****
Coverage: This makeup is not a stage makeup level cover by any means. But it does a really great job of evening out my skin tone which in turn makes blemishes and such minimized. I always notice a difference. However, it does not stay for a really long time. In a normal person's life I am sure it would. When I have weekends where I don't go out to the barn to run around like a crazy person it stays all day just fine. ****
Price: I believe I bought this for $12 at the grocery store, so I am sure you could find it for a bit cheaper else where but... $12 is not bad at all especially since I am going on two months and still have a ways to go. *****
Overall: This is a makeup that I think I may actually purchase twice. I think for me personally I need to add a primer and some concealer, but for anyone who breaks out less or has an indoor job I would recommend this. Especially if your on a budget! ****1/2
~PLEASE NOTE~
