It's late Friday afternoony and it's quite dark already, it's been raining for most of the day and I have felt lousy.

Normally I love when there is an abundance of stormy weather but I had a late night and didn't sleep well.

I spent the morning looking for my lens case, with my contacts enclosed in them, then I found them and my eyes stung because I thought I had rinsed off the cleaner but nope.

That burned for a good five minutes. Anyway I have since recovered well enough to see clearly.

And yesterday one of the regular randoms decided to migrate from chat to emails/phone.

And he had been really chatty, full sentences, very engaging and no text speak.

It seemed like a natural transition and then this morning I got his first email....

With the sum amount of five words. Ugh, he was one of those people.

You know the sort, that think once they have you away from rivals, ceases to make the effort.

His whole personality seemed to change before my eyes. Prior to this, he seemed caring and decent.

Then I tested the waters and said I was having a frustrating day and there was nothing, no response but his own agenda.

Whereas if I had said that on chat, he would have been full of sympathy or at least said something comforting, to acknowledge it.

I'm not saying he should make it all about me or be overly concerned but the reason we got on well was that it was mutual.

We had an equal back and forth discussing the days events and issues.

I have a feeling he would be the same on text, just irritatingly short, few worded messages that I would tire of very quickly.

That incessant beep beep and nothing of quality to be excited about.

Not every talk has to be deep and meaningful but I would like something of substance, rather than feeling someone is filling in time or distracting themselves, instead of making the effort to be interesting.

This one's name is C and he purposely held back his number and email, the email alright he sent me one today.

And funny for me, I have started enforcing this rule, which I can't remember if I've shared before.

Some guys are keen to have my contact details but I feel they are cowardly to actually use it.

So I've now started putting a stipulation that they have a week to use it, otherwise their number gets blocked, when they do.

Or I tell them to delete it and not bother because it can be months and then a random text will appear...

Heyyyy it's me..... (Never any name) and something like Wanna chat?

I still have a guy from 2017 that keeps asking if I want to continue emailing....

Yeesh!

My point is, why do they only appear to be full of life on one application and not another?

It's just peculiar to me as he was so shocked and happy when I shared my information.

Why would you then stop making the effort? Unless he's having a bad/rough day himself but then, wouldn't he have shared that?

We shall see, if he keeps this up, he won't last long. 

It's just such a contradiction from him profusely apologising that he missed one of our chat dates because of technical difficulties.

I wasn't actually mad, just disappointed and then he goes to this....... Selfishy behaviour.... Hmm.

At least I feel fully decompressed. I had a lovely hot shower/bath and gave myself a scalp massage as I usually do.

And now I am full of the scent of essential oils and horse chestnut.

Thoroughly moisturised and pampered. I still have to do the face mask tonight and my forehead continues to be drying out.

It seems like the Derma V10 from Lidl is not effective as a really deep moisturiser.

I wonder if Mama's one is better for excessive dryness? I'm tempted to switch to the Neutrogena but I'm saving that for travelling.

It's less bulky. I guess if it progresses to a worse state, I will definitely switch.

Ooh I must say after using the mud mask, I have to look up the name Eclat.

Wow, I have been using it for three months and it's only a 60ml tube.

To be honest, I only need a lil bit and it covers my whole face and neck.

I'm not so much into brands but rather something different, which has multiple benefits and that I have never used before.

My forehead has transformed from this dry, peely state back into bring soft and hydrated.

I'm pleased about that. For some reason I thought it was more expensive than £3.50.

I probably got a discount. I usually do.

#BlogLife540 - Fix your face

It's just before 4pm and my Amazon goodies arrived today, which prompts me to cancel Prime now.

Ugh they complicated the process, I had to click renew in order to end it now, sneaky sneaky but I did it.

It's almost as though I have eczema on my face, that's how disgustingly dry, flaky and itchy it is.

Straight away I unboxed and checked the contents expecting 2 of the masks but I was mistaken oops.

I got the £2.62 Creightons scrub 150ml purely for the soles of my feet. I can't remember if that brand was where I had the reaction from but it's only my feet so I doubt I will have an  adverse outcome to it.

I never use scrubs anymore as that's too harsh for my combination, blemish prone face. It seems nice and thick and I think it smells vaguely fruity.

Next we have the 50ml standard size Neutrogena refreshingly clear moisturiser £3.

I've used the pink grapefruit version before and that's been fine as far as I recall, this tube seems much tinier but a thicker cream so maybe it's better?

Most of my face was just obscenely dehydrated and it took a few rounds of moisturiser to address it.

My forehead is still dry and the rest of my face was getting greasy so I am only applying it on my forehead now.

After I applied it I tried the 150ml Nivea derma wash £2.75 that is targeted at impure skin and it's just clear and a medium consistency that rinses off easily.

Afterwards my face felt as though it had a deep treatment done which was refreshing. It's not scented that much and the lil it is, is very faint and generic.

My face was definitely beginning to heal and soften but what really counts is time and a few days later, I will really be able to tell if it's an efficient cleanser.

Lastly we have the 60ml Pink Clay mask and I didn't realise how small it was. I normally get a 100ml product.

This time I thought I was getting a bundle deal as it said x2 but nope it was crazy marketing about claiming to be doubly precise at improving complexions.

Anyway it cost £3.50 which is a bit steep for such a tiny thing, pictures are up on Twitter but new items are fun to use.

This was actually tinted pink, cute and was a thick mud texture but I only used a lil bit all over my face.

The instructions which I gave to Mama to read for me as I couldn't see the idiotic white tiny writing was to leave it for about 15 minutes.

And I followed that because my face is a mess. It was really difficult to remove it, water didn't cut it.

I think it's the first time I've struggled to wash off a mask so I grabbed a wet wipe and had to wet it and really scrub to make it disappear.

Afterwards my face felt smooth and polished, aside from my forehead, the sides of my nose and a bit of my cheek.

I'm going to have to repeat the processes throughout this weekend (Friday 4th) at the moment of writing this.

The mask is supposed to give a brighter, hydrating finish. I'm not sure about the illumination but it's definitely improved from being bumpy and rough.

It has an unusual perfume sweet scent which is not typical but I love beauty stuff that smells nice so that doesn't bother me.

It's Saturday night and I always continue the pampering regime all weekend but this time I left the face wash on underneath and then applied the face mask.

It seems a bit tough squeezing out the mask but it spreads easily.

I wasn't concentrating on the time, I was chatting to Mama and sipping Shloer Rose, I love that drink, so the mask was left on maybe half an hour.

I grabbed the wipes again but this time, it came off much easier. My face is glowing but my forehead remains scaly.

I don't want to do another moisturiser round, maybe before bed. The weather here has been rainy and sunny.

We might have breakfast out locally tomorrow morning, I guess it depends how we feel.

I like surprising her, just got her 2x salines so she doesn't have to go into town to get them.

She's having her leg treatment done soon and hopefully the pain will subside.
