Neutrogena Healthy Defense daily moisturizer with sunscreen

 Why do I hate thee so much? I should love this stuff but it leaves a horrible white haze, doesn’t even mix well with other products & I've burned with it on.

It’s supposedly spf 50 but it doesn’t protect like a true sunscreen. I’ll trust it for a morning run/walk & nothing else (even then- it’s not water proof so not on sweaty days).

Even combining with a foundation leaves me meh. It really dilutes the color & it doesn’t add any ‘umpf’ to the glow. (I like using a sunscreen as a glow-up under for with my foundations - don’t understand ppl who use  glow products but then don’t use spf - I try to get both from one product.)

Stashbeauty.com is out of business

This app mined other websites for the best deal & included free shipping. While I used it & enjoyed the layout -  I always wondered how they were making money.

Bali bra #3472 one smooth u

So I liked this bra - nice lift, seperation & coverage. Foam cups and very adjustable straps. However it stretched and it actually made me look bigger (good for some, not for me!) I love Bali quality but this bra was not a fav.

Lancôme face moisturizers

I have 2, old, samples of their daily wear cremes. And wowzers! I've been mixing them with my bb Creme for a bit of color but today -- after about a month of using theses upgrade products I realized my skin looks amazing. (I'd noticed it feeling amazing so this was a surprise!)

BareMinerals active cell renewal night serum

I received a small sample of this night serum. It's a clear product and it seemed to help the renewal/ exfoliation process! It helped reduce my sun spots which were looking awful (they seem less noticeable!) I'm not  sure it it helped my forehead wrinkles but I think if it's helping cell turnover it would reduce those wrinkle(I've been painfully close to considering Botox for my forehead wrinkles - they have become very sensitive to dehydration & how I slept)

When I finish up product I already own - this is on the top of my list!
