EauMG’s December 2017 Empties

December 2017 empties

It was the holidays so I tried so hard to not buy stuff for myself despite everyone tempting me with sales. I did buy Marc Jacobs Lip Gloss in Call Me.

My beauty gifts were abundant. I received some Juvia’s palettes, two Jouer lip sets, Malle Iris Hand

Palmer’s Skin Therapy Cocoa Face Oil Review

Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil

After reading some positive reviews online, I purchased Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil for the face. Palmer’s is one of those budget brands that helped to keep my skin looking good when I was broke. My skin has always responded nicely to cocoa butter and various natural oils. When I wasn’t using something like apricot kernel oil, I was using Palmer’s. This line has been good to me.

This Skin Therapy oil is a newer edition to the line. It’s a mix of oils and retinol… Continue reading | 9 Comments
