The Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream: The hero I didn’t know I needed
I have been trying a lot of new to me skin care products recently. Based on my recent skincare posts, you can deduce I have not been impressed. After being left out dry (literally) by the products I had tried previously, you could say that I had low expectations before I ever tried the Glow…

Thoughts on the Water Drench sunscreen from Peter Thomas Roth
I sampled the Water Drench moisturizer from Peter Thomas Roth and was pleasantly surprised. The obvious deduction I made from that was that I would love the sunscreen version.
