Wash Away Dull Skin & Get Radiant In Bed: Vichy ProEven Night and Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Cleanser
Oh, great. Another hormonal break out. UGH! Just when I think all I need to do is manage my ageing skin, another zit pops up. Ugh. Hormonal acne is difficult to control, as it rarely influenced by what you put ON the skin. I have found it is exacerbated by certain skincare products, like silicones…

Get Glowing! Bobbi Brown Brightening Powder And Chanel Le Blanc de Chanel
Holy moly. I have found my radiance holy grails, and it’s no surprise they are from Chanel *clouds part* and Bobbi Brown *cue angels chorus*.
