Recently, I went back to the website and saw a shoot-off discussion about cosmetics. That's how I came across The Story of Cosmetics. (Women, click on the link to watch the video)
I started thinking about all the cosmetics and beauty products I use everyday. Let's see what I have:
1. Shampoo
2. Conditioner
3. Body wash
4. Facial Wash, sometimes Facial Scrub
5. Make-up remover, if I had make up that day
6. Mascara remover, it's not the same at no.5 !
7. Moisturizer
8. Sunscreen
Things I use every other day:
9. Hair tonic
10. Hair oil
11. Hair night repair; As you can see, I'm quite the hair person
12. Deodorant
13. Make-up stuff like foundation, eyeliner, mascara, blush, lipstick
For once in a while:
14. Face mask
15. Fragrance
Wow, that's a lot of synthetic stuff full of chemicals I can't pronounce in 5 seconds. It's scary when people claim these stuff in the bottles have been found linked to cancer. My initial reaction was to brush these comments off, but in times when you're just not too sure, better to walk on the precautionary side yeah?
The solution sure isn't to abstain from these products. I can't imagine NOT putting on sunscreen and moisturizer everyday. Nor can I stop using my shampoo which has only recently proved very effective for my oily and sensitive scalp. I need this whole bunch of hair stuff cos I sometimes use the hair straightener to shape my hair, and that thing does it at 180 degrees Celsius. And with the wonders of make up... Ok, I'm getting carried away.
Right now, I don't really have the right frame of mind to really think about these things. I need to concentrate and bring my game for my projects, which usually consist of reports and presentations. That is why I haven't been very successful in being vegetarian and eating healthily. When my brain goes on an overdrive, it seems to need lotsa junk food and craves meat. My brother interprets this as vegetarian being unhealthy for me. HUH? Anyway, when December comes, I'm going to delve more into these issues and think about what I want to do. :D In the meantime, let me keep staring at my reports to see how I can squeeze an A grade out of my professors. :p
