This was new cleanser for me to try, but I’m not sure I am the best person to test it out. It is the Lab Series Cleanser for men. I am not a man. But I have a face, so hopefully that will be enough for now. I have to say that I used this…

Finally trying the much hyped Delina by Parfums de Marly
This fragrance is so hyped, that I just had to know what it smelled like. When I first sprayed it, I thought, “Oh no, another over hyped fragrance that I won’t like.” Then it settled, and I found myself enjoying it. I think I have only eaten rhubarb twice in my life, actively smelled it…

Philosophy’s Pore extractor clay mask. Not so bad
