According to my esthetician, my dermatitis is caused by a combination of the cold (and indoor heating which, as you said, is extremely dry) and an imbalance in my eating during the holidays together. I'm having a hard time keeping away from fruit but the good side effect has been to make me notice the small amount of veggies I was eating before. I'm making a conscious effort to eat more now. That can only be good for me... What I need to do is get more veggies that I can eat raw at work for my snacks. Thing is, I hate preparing raw veggies. I need cucumber...
I never thought of trying the jojoba oil but my esthetician sold me this balm thing to put on that's been working really well. It's called Red Clover Plus, it's organic and the ingredients are: burdock seed, black walnut, echinaceca, golden seal, red clover, eucalyptus, calendula, gargano gold extra virgin olive oil, untreated natural beeswax, pure essential oil of ravensara aromatica.
For blue, I love the more purple ones. The greener ones just always look so darn bright. I have a feeling you'd like the more purple ones...
Speaking of shadow, I've actually kind of been enjoying this no eye makeup period. I've been using my L'Oreal gel blush in Rouge Glow more. I'd forgotten how much I love this. It's what gives me the colour that looks like I just came in from the cold. I don't actually put on enough to LOOK like I came in from the cold (that would be quite red and there's no way I'm using that much colour on my cheeks). It's just the same colour only toned down a bit. I never wear this blush with my eye makeup because it just looks so natural and young on me. It just wouldn't work with grown up eyeshadow patterns. I could possibly use this blush if I wore a wash of a pretty pastel or sparkly shadow though. Anyhoo, it's been fun going back to lipsticks I hadn't been wearing as much. Technically, I think I'd be able to wear some shadow again but I want to continue on my experiment for a while. It's fun. And I want to go through all my blushes and lipsticks.
I'll post more at the end of my experiment...
