A vanity chock full of beauty goods is no easy feat to tackle – throw in a few backups and it gets even harder to sift through so when I finally consume a product in its totality, you bet I get antsy and excited to get through the next set… I’ve made progress considering we’re not even a month into the new year (and I don’t foresee myself finishing anything else at this point) so let’s dive into my January empties.
My favorites of this pile were the Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic + Retinol Serum and the Glossier Super Pure Serum – I can’t say which one I liked better so don’t make me pick 🙂 Both have been transformative elixirs for my skin.
The Dr. Dennis Gross serum won’t disappoint anyone desiring sustained youthful skin – it feels like a lightweight lotion in hand but sinks swiftly into the skin. And as is the case with most lineups from the brand, it delivers assiduously although I have one complaint… The pump design isn’t genius at all. I’m inclined to think there’s a malfunction as it fails to dispense the remnants inside the bottle – what a shame and waste! The Super Pure Serum from Glossier dominates in this trio. I’ve said much before so I won’t waste your time. Just remember that it’s crucial if blemishes are exacerbating. I’d often complain about the huge size of products, yearning for smaller alternatives. Here Glossier delivers and I’m wishing the serum size was bigger – they only come in .5 oz!
We always seem to want what we can’t have.
The Olay Ultimate Eye Cream and Pro-Retinol Eye Treatment were interesting buys because I usually refrain from purchasing skincare products at the drugstore. The Ultimate Eye Cream is a great introductory product especially if you’re in your early-mid 20s – hell, it’d even work for us older ladies in the summer. However, as of right now in the bleak winter, it’s lacking in the moisture department – same goes for the Pro-Retinol Eye Cream. They weren’t disappointing especially coming from where they are, but my skin has just become more demanding.

The Glossier Super Glow Serum, quite lovely although not as lovely as the Super Pure, provides a nice dose of Vitamin C. It feels like water though so be careful during application. You can’t expect a halo to transpire immediately, but I feel like it does restore a dull complexion.
Face masks remain apart of my life and featured here are the latest from Peach & Lily. I’ve gone through Reset Button and Good Skin Day, which I used after the holidays when I had one too many cocktails and lots of restless nights. So in ravenous mode, my skin instantly swallowed all the essence in gratitude. Both were extremely calming and gentle on the skin so at a super affordable few dollars, it’s no wonder they sold out during launch.
