Anyone who pays for La Mer cream needs their head examined
Based on your recommendation I bought the Trader Joe’s sunscreen. One of the best sunscreens I have tried! I love the texture and moisture. I bought extras for my whole family on Christmas as stocking stuffers! TY!
Please do more dupes. Eye creams, serums. Thanks
Watched this video and tried the Roc hydration cream. OMG! Is the best moisturizer I ever had! My skin does not feel dry even in Canadian winter weather. Thank you! Oh and after I heard you saying we don’t need eye cream. It works for eye too.
