Morgan’s Boutique: Iced Mint Mask Product Review
One of my favorite beauty products is the mask! I’ve always loved them, but was never able to find one that alleviated my oily skin AND left my face feeling fresh, soft, and generally amazing.
Elizabeth at Morgan’s Boutique gave me the chance to review some great, affordable, beauty and skincare products. This is the first of a three part beauty bonanza, so make sure to stay tuned. First up: their Iced Mint Mask. It’s developed especially for oily and acne prone skin. It contains natural peppermint oil and menthol which soothe and awaken the skin at the same time. As soon as I applied it to my face, my skin felt like it was zapped with energy. The formula is creamy and gentle and glides on smoothly–when it’s time to rinse the mask off, I used a warm wash cloth after about 7 minutes (or when you can feel to beginning to dry). It rinses easily and gently. No red blotches here and my skin felt smooth and looked matte and fresh.
The Iced Mint Mask is offered at a wallet friendly price of $7.99 for 2oz. You only need a scoop or two (about 3 fingers full) to cover your whole face, so you get a good bang for your buck, which I love. Their philosophy is that in this economy it is possible to look good and pamper yourself even if you are on a budget. I love their down to earth persona regarding beauty and skincare.
I find it important to mention here that my boyfriend, who has a downright dirty job (he installs burial vaults for cemeteries), also enjoyed a sampling of this mask. Working outside in the humidity and general dirt and grime, he ends up coming home with breakouts from time to time. While he politely declined a photo op on my blog, he did mention his face felt amazing, clean, and smooth after a long day of work. Nothing wrong with a guy who can admit that women know what they are doing when it comes to cosmetics.
Here I am enjoying my Iced Mint Mask–super minty and tingly!

It’s been a while…
School has eaten my soul for the past MONTH (what? month???) that I haven’t blogged. I can’t say I haven’t had time to be online, but sadly, the blog that I get PAID to write had to take precedence for the past few weeks. Work and school unfortunately have to come first–which I’ve been telling my college freshman for the past month as well. At least I’m practicing what I preach? Until I get out of my “fun writing” slump, I really just want to post a photo of my amazing desktop. Why? Because it’s too cool not to.
Click it to make it bigger. It’s kind of sad that I’m excited to bring my laptop to my writing class because of my desktop. I really just want people to notice how organized and sleek it looks. In other news: I’ve been hanging out with Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville as well as balancing teaching college freshman and a highly intensive writing course. I think this semester is going to be a good one. I’ll just need more coffee.
Things I Want To Do: Education Edition
There’s something about this photo of me that I like. It’s just goofy!
In exactly one week I begin my second semester of my graduate studies, along with a full-time course load of awesome classes, I’ve also landed a position as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the English department. I’ve already began planning some fun activities and assignments for the class I’ll be working in (Inquiry 101 is the class), and I’m so excited to be back in the classroom again. The more experience I’m gaining with college level students and the more networking I’m doing with other professors has further proved to me that this is where I belong. I love high school students, but as I pursue another degree, and later move on to working on my Ph.D, I am realizing that becoming a professor is what I want to do with my life. So, with the new school year getting closer at a steady pace here are some of the things I want to do this year:
Usually, I have a ton of goals I want to accomplish, but this year I’m going to stick to three big ones instead of a million small ones. Three is also half of six, and six is my favorite number, so it makes sense. To me.
