December Empties

Auric blends LOVE fine perfume oil – I came across Love at my local health food store and loved it instantly at first sniff! It’s a soft, sweet floral scent that has a touch of the Auric blend’s popular Egyptian Goddess combined with white amber, white musk and woods. Although it smells lovely and I enjoy using it as an everyday fragrance, the poor staying power is a disappointing factor.

Paula’s choice Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing lotion with SPF 15 and antioxidants – Of course, none of my empties post could be complete without a Paula’s choice skincare product. This one is a really good everyday SPF lotion formulated for normal to very dry skin but does leave a slight white cast. The formula is very moisturizing and provides broad-spectrum sun protection so I love using it as a hand cream.

Murad Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture for eyes – This highly moisturizing eye cream with a nice blend of anti-aging ingredients works really well to provide long-lasting hydration and does not sting or irritate the sensitive skin around your eyes. I am not a fan of the jar packaging though which causes deterioration of the active ingredients faster. You can find my detailed review in this post.

Gold Bond Ultimate Restoring skin therapy lotion– Another drugstore favorite, this body lotion has a non-greasy hydrating formula with a clean, fresh scent. The ingredient list is quite impressive with antioxidants CoQ10, vitamins A, C & E and ceramides. Great stuff!
