Trader Joe’s Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer Review & Swatches

5 stars out of 5

It’s Summer! Summer means gel moisturizer and Trader Joe’s Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer ($8.99) is my new favorite. Yes, Trader Joe’s has moisturizer and a slew of other beauty offerings lately like cleansing oil, facial masks, and lip scrubs!

I’m a bit of a Trader Joe’s junkie so, whether it’s new food or new beauty I’m typically all over as soon as it launches. I saw this Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer on Instagram towards the middle of May and found it in stores at the end of May. It’s not on the new end cap section though! It’s already tucked in with Trader Joe’s regular beauty items so, if you’re looking for it and can’t find it check away from the new items.

Clinique Even Better Refresh Hydrating and Repairing Foundation Sounds Appealing

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Clinique Even Better Refresh Hydrating and Repairing Foundation ($32) is one of those products that draws you in with the name. I mean doesn’t refreshing and hydrating sounds fantastic in a foundation formula? As someone with dry skin it sounds brilliant to me!

This is a new full-coverage foundation that provides 24-hour wear (but really, who needs 24 hours of wear from foundation? If you do, you must have a mega party lifestyle! Haha!). It’s formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, peptides, and Salicylic Acid. According to Clinique it gives a poreless, younger look to skin that’s natural but still pigmented enough to cover imperfections.

It’s $32 and available in 27 shade selections.

I’d be curious to try it out as Clinique does do a good foundation from time to time that captures my eye!

What about you?

Clinique Even Better Refresh Hydrating and Repairing Foundation is available now!

I reviewed the new Ciate Watermelon Burst Hydrating Primer yesterday and I had some mixed feelings on it that maybe have confused a few people into wondering if they needed it or not. Be confused no longer friend as you can try it along with the new Watermelon Lip Oil for $15!

This Ciate Watermelon Burst Hydrating Primer & Lip Oil Duo is $15 and it gets you samples sizes of both the lip oil and the primer to try out before indulging in a fuller size.

Snag it at Sephora!

CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Face Serum with Hyaluronic Acid And Alcohol But Why Though?

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Face Serum with Hyaluronic Acid contains alcohol and I have to keep asking but WHY, Cerave, Why!? I’ve been pretty disappointed with their offerings lately because almost all their newest skincare contains alcohol.

Le sigh!

CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Face Serum with Hyaluronic Acid sounds promising enough with a 10% vitamin c infused formula that also contains Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid but it’s utterly ruined by the addition of alcohol. Not to mention the 1 oz size for $25 bucks may have made cringed. Come on guys! You can do better! The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% is a mere $5.80 and The Inkey List Vitamin C Cream is $10!

You can do better guys 🙁

This is a serum formula with a lightweight texture according to the brand with a pure form of Vitamin C that brightens.

Shrug. Not sure I need it.
