What I've been doing in the Kitchen

I no longer need to look for good chemical-free body care products... because they can be handmade (O_O) Yeah I know, making perfect products isn't that simple or else the cosmetics companies won't be making profit, but! It is my nature to try anyway, so I bought myself bunch of ingredients for original lotion, UV-cut powder and lip balm.

That looks awsome! How long does it take to make the product?

You totally eed to discuss G00 with me, it's my newest obsession!

Oh, they're really simple and easy -- the uv cut powder for example it only takes about 15 min to mix the contents :D (it takes 1 week to make the galenical extract tho)

I finally have an Anime series to watch every week! Should talk about 00 on LJ soon. Hm...love Soma and Sergei :)

Not that much of a bother then. I am impressed. If I was using more products like that, I might consider making them myself. As it is, the only things I use on a daily basis are a kohl pencil, concealer and body lotion. I have never liked too have too much stuff in my face, be it make-up or moisturizing cream. I hate being sticky.

Remember the conversation we had about GW female characters, before? Soma are all the things I wish that the GW gals are! I am totally in love with her. And Setsuna is so, so cute.

*drools* Setsuna! *drools*

Same here. I can't stand greasy face +_+ or having anything on my face that clogs up pores! and I don't wear much make-up either, usually just uv powder and eyebrow, sometimes eye liner. Oh-- I made my original cologne with aroma oil ^-^v It's a niche trend here, so it's easy to find the ingredients in stores. I wonder how it is in the U.S?

Hopefully there will be some episodes focusing on Soma... >_

I typically dye my eyebrows and eyelashes, so to avoid making ti look stupid when I wake up in the morning, as I also dye my hair dark. Blonde lashes and black-brown hair isn't a good combo, so that's why I rarely use anything but kohl pencil and concealer on a normal day. Even though all the beauty magazines say one has to use some sort of moisturizing cream in the face. Bah.

And I don't live in the US, but I suspect they have aroma oils where you can pick a combination of available secents to mix into a unique blend there too, as they do here. I wasn't interested in any of the scents that were available, though. I like perfumes that smell clearly of just one flower, like rose, lily of the valley, or lilac.

Soma doesn't get as much screen time as I'd hoped, no. For some reason, Louise gets mroe screen time than her and she has yet to show relevance to the plot. I am miffed. I can stand the fanservice though it's a bit extreme this time - especially Sumergai. I mean, come on, her back has to be killing her!
