Empties: L’Oreal Wonder Water and a Mist
Empties from the drugstore: another bottle of Wonder Water and I have a bottle on vacay too. You know I love this stuff and I keep a backup. It is best used before a blow-dry. I’ve just ordered another bottle … Continue reading
SAFRAN TROUBLANT ICE CREAM
I know I’ve posted about L’Artisan Parfumeur Safran Troublant a ton, but it’s a scent that just spoke to me. The notes are gourmand – saffron, rose, vanilla – but the sandalwood base anchors the scent and prevents it from … Continue reading
Vichy Ideal Soleil Mineral Tinted Sunscreen
Light, runny texture and a long-lasting formula. Vichy Ideal Soleil mineral tinted sunscreen does not disappoint. No, the colour doesn’t match me perfectly, but sometimes, I don’t care, and other times I put makeup on top. *compliments of Vichy. If … Continue reading

Honest Beauty Hydrogel Cream
The Honest Beauty The Hydrogel Cream has a mix of water and squalane (among other ingredients) so it gives you the finish of the oil but in a cream. I love squalane because it’s light enough to really work well … Continue reading
Neutrogena Overnight Recovery Gel Cream
Sooo smooooth. Neutrogena Overnight Recovery Gel Cream. It wasn’t helpful overnight for me, but I think this would be great for someone with oily and generally unproblematic skin. Look at that gel though – isn’t it pretty?
