The good Doc, Keisha - check out her beauty blog here - said, and I quote: "they're great if you want expensive pee!" 😂 We're talking supplements.


I've tried quite a few, as you're about to see.


Of course I'm no Doctor and you should definitely consult one before taking any sorta ting at all.

My Personal Trainer also doesn't believe that supplements are necessary if you consume a healthy diet. Well, I know I don't do that so that's why I've been willing to try things.

I've even heard Stephanie Nicole say she doesn't use a multi-vitamin, just the Perricone MD Omega 3. The person I know that takes the most supplements is my best friend, who is also a personal trainer, Corey. He's the person I've seen talk the most about gut health and joint care.

Estēe Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex 7 ml
This is a travel essential. Thankfully they've developed an ampoules version which is even easier to travel with.
Hempz 'White Peach Rose & Peony' 66ml
I always get one of these when I travel to the US. Great for your handbag; especially if you wash your hands a lot. This scent is a sweet floral that's not over-powering. Not headache inducing at all.
Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray 30 ml
Wow this little thing is a full fluid ounce! Another travel essential...but don't wait for that, put it in your handbag every day. In these hot last days we need every bit of refreshment we can get. The mist of this dispenser is nice; not the finest but not shooting you in the face either. I would definitely buy the full size. And yes, that bottle will be reused. ♻

This series took a hiatus due to:

I barely leave the house so I have to devise a new method for wear tests, andI am having real trouble finding an accurate foundation shade. Shade matching has to be the predominant challenge when shopping for a new foundation. I admire anyone that can guess their match from watching YouTube reviews, or better yet, just from colour indicators on the brands' websites. Thing is I have purchased a lot of foundations on the quest to find the right one. So there's plenty to talk about. Here's one of the many that didn't work for me.
