Jumping right into this month’s beauty empties with hair and bath products.
- Olay Retinol Body Wash. LOVED Will order this again. My skin looks amazing after four weeks of using this.
- Susanne Kaufmann Calming Bath Very happy with this one. The texture is gorgeous and so is the scent. It does leave my skin super silky and slippery so careful getting out of the bath after this one.
- Kerastase Chronologist Pre Wash Liked. Great for buildup on the hair and getting a deep scalp clean. I applied it before I got in the shower on dry hair and scalp. Then worked it in once I got into the shower.
- Oribe Signature Moisture Mask this was gorgeous and I ordered another one!
- Oribe Dry Texture Spray Will always be my favorite.
- Z&Co Lavender Bubble Bath A great bubble bath for kids and adults. I really like the packaging and the scent is light.
- Pixi Glycolic Body Wash Very happy with this one too. But if you have a cut WOW will you know it.
- Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Cream Not happy with this one. It dried kind of powdery.

Face Cleanser
- Dermae Ultra Hydrating Cloud Cleanser Liked but would’t buy again. It works well as a morning cleanser.
- Pacifica Glow Baby LOVED this one. Would buy again but it does stain white marble and towels. Keep that in mind.
- Coola Pacific Polish HATED it. The scent and texture were just off for me.
- Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser One of my faves of all time. Great as a second cleanse and morning cleanse.
- Radiant Soul Beauty Balancing Charcoal Cleansing Oil Great but not for dry or mature skin. You need to have VERY oily skin for this one.

Eyes, Masks and Acids
Biossance Squalene Peptide Eye Gel Loved. My dark circles looked so much better with this and crepiness was GONE. Run out and get this now.
Colleen Rothschild Mandelic Acid Serum OBSESSED!!! If you are over 35 this is a must.
Elemis Enzyme Peel Not my favorite but good for a few times a week. I think better suited for under 25.
Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Gel Mask LOVED. Bought more of this one. It really gave a great home peel but gentle to use regularly.
Korres Hydra Biome Yogurt Peel Mask Liked but won’t run out and buy it again. It gives a nice peel and didn’t break me out but another one I think is best for younger skin. USE CODE DORAN20
Chantecaille Hibiscus Mask LOVED. Wow. This is a must have mask to use before events.

Face Oils
Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum is the best face oil ever made. It just isn’t always in my budget but WOW does it leave my skin glowing, plump and happy.
GroWoke Chaga CBD face oil is lovely. I am not a huge fan of the scent but the results are incredible. Super anti-inflammatory. I took it with me on several trips and loaded up on the plane.

Serums
Karuna All Day Everyday— A lovely hydrating serum. It wan’t stick and absorbed well.
Replenix Anti-Aging Hyaluronic Acid Hydration Serum— Not my favorite. It had a sticky finish that drove me nuts and the dropper kept sticking also!
Mint Pear C Your Youth Serum – Hated it. The texture was just off for me.
Korres Black Pine Youth + Lift Serum – LOVED. So gorgeous and my skin looked amazing with it. I would buy this again.
PureHeals Ampoule Centella 90 I liked this. The texture was great. Results were great. I noticed a huge difference in inflammation spot post breakout. This seemed to speed up the redness.
Biossance Vitamin C Rose Oil – This was ok. I didn’t see as big of brightening results as some of my other Vitamin C serums but wow that squalene oil kept my skin glowing and plump and hydrated all day.
Revolution Vitamin C Serum – Great price point and wow formula. Way to strong for me… made me peel. If you have strong skin, oily skin or use vitamin c regularly this is a win.
Snail Bee Essence— hated it.
Moisturizers and SPF
- Stivectin SD Advance – WOW This is lovely. If you have dry or mature skin this is a must have. Fine lines all vanish in 2-3 weeks. The moisture retention is amazing. I used it morning and night and my skin never felt better.
- Coola The Great Barrier Cream – Great for younger skin or slightly oily/combo skin. I needed a bit more for my dry skin but I liked the cream.
- Dermae Advanced Night Cream – This was ok for me. I’d buy it in a pinch again like when I lose by bags traveling or something.
- Dr Dennis Gross Lightweight Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 AMAZING the texture and formula are gorgeous my only gripe is SPF 30 is just too low. I need a 40 or higher.
