My April Empties

I finished up several skin care and beauty items in April.  Some were old true-blue favorites.  Some were hit or misses.  Let's take a look:

Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil:  This is my go-to for the first part of my skin care routine.  It easily removes all my makeup and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily. This wasn't my first bottle and won't be my last

Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum:  Good Molecules Serums are my ride-or-die.  I have tried many other hyaluronic acid  serums, but I always come back to this. 

Loreal Midnight Cream:  The jury is still out on this one. It does feel thick and luxurious when you apply it.  But performance-wise, I'm not sure if it lives up to the hype. I did purchase one more container. After that's gone, I'm not sure if I'll continue using it or not. Also, the fragrance is quite strong, so if you're sensitive to that, you may want to give it a pass.

Laura Geller Original Spackle Primer: I absolutely adore Laura Geller makeup, and this primer is no exception! I have a couple of other great primers in my makeup arsenal, but this is the one I reach for over and over. 100% a repurchase!

Have you tried any of these products?  What were your thoughts?

Friday Favorites: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner

I like the little extra oomph of clean I get from using a toner.  What I don't like is the overly dry feeling I get from many of them.  Or worse, that burning sensation some can cause on my sensitive skin.

I spent years and years searching for the perfect toner for my skin.  I think I finally found it in Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel toner!  

Made with the long time skin care favorites witch hazel, rose water, and aloe vera, Thayer's cleans, tones, and moisturizes your skin.  Without the use of harsh chemicals.  Just lots of natural therapeutic tannins, astringents and antioxidants. 

After washing my face,  I use Thayer's to remove any remaining traces of makeup or oils.  It always leaves my skin feeling so clean and fresh.  And thanks to the soothing aloe and rose water, I never feel too dry after using it.

I used to regularly get cystic acne on my chin, related to hormones.  Since using the Thayer's I rarely experience it now.
