GH Review: Boots Expert Sensitive Hydrating Serum

I just finished this serum up this morning and realized, after tossing the bottle, that I'd never reviewed it. Hopefully the stock photography isn't too boring.

In any event, I picked up the Boots serum about a year ago at Target. To be perfectly honest, I'm still not sure why serums exist. There are deeper-treating or more nutrient-infused moisturizers on the market, if that's what you're looking for, and frankly I still suspect that serums are mostly a way for skincare companies to convince you that you need another product in your growing three-ring circus of a routine.

Bioderma on Sale at Shoppers Drug Mart

Quick update for Canadians: Shoppers Drug Mart has priced all of its Bioderma products at 25% off right now. A lot of the Vichy Normaderm and other higher-end drug store skin care products are on promotion as well, but since Bioderma is particularly hard to track down at a good price in North America, I thought I'd mention it.

The one near my work has already sold out of the Crealine H20 completely (normally $22.00, on sale for $16.50), but the skin creams and oily-skin cleansers are still available.

I was sorely tempted, but I still have two makeup removal products to get through, so I thought I'd pass the news along to any Canadian Bioderma fans out there.

Happy shopping!

GH Review: Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired By Carmindy Airbrush Spray Makeup

I’m a little torn on whether or not I want to review all of the Sally Hansen “Inspired by Carmindy” products that I’ve bought, given that I’m still not 100% sure whether the line has been discontinued or not. If you’d rather I only review products that are still definitely available, please let me know.

GH Review: Soap and Glory's Great Shakes Hydrating Hand Cream

I bought Soap and Glory’s Great Shakes right before my year of No Buy started, and I’ve been using it pretty regularly at work since.

The package, as with all Soap and Glory products, is a nice bright pink color. It’s a standard flip-top, squeeze-tube bottle that sits lid-down, leading to a bit of unfortunate gunk-spillage into the cap. Otherwise, the packaging is serviceable and not unattractive.
