Oh bliss, Sbx brought back the Frappuccino Happy Hour for a limited time. Frappuccinos were half price which saw me dutifully trotting over to get my fix of my favourite frappuccino, the Strawberries and Cream with whipped cream on top, of course.
Surprisingly and delightfully, there is no coffee or tea, for that matter, in the Strawberries and Cream frap at all. The best way that I can describe it is that it is like a creamy, upmarket strawberry milkshake. Monsieur is very relieved that Happy Hour has come to an end. There is nothing more likely to put a dent in one's enjoyment of a delicious treat than to have one's significant other bleating continuously in one's face about one's other significant other (repetitive alliteration here!) aka "The Hideous Muffin Top." The only way to silence the bleating is to slurp vociferously through the stainless steel straw. Haha! Hands up if your SO also has the temerity to engage in the same annoying behaviour. Never mind. Me, my Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino and the Red Rocket passing by. A perfect afternoon in Toronto, thank you very much.
I have had a few pesky dry patches appear on my face recently. I think this is due to my enthusiastic application of Ole Henriksen's Invigorating Night Transformation Gel which has exfoliating properties. I was in need of a straightforward moisturizer and picked up The Ordinary's Natural Moisturizing Factors with HA Moisturizer.
When I say it is a straightforward moisturizer, I mean just that. It is a simple moisturizer that does only one thing, which is hydrate. There are no anti-aging benefits, smoothing out of skin tone, spf or similar. But for the price, $5.80 CAD, it can't be beat. There is no fragrance and it absorbs quickly and easily. It is recommended that serums be layered with it for extra hydration and if you want to customize your skincare regimen for a more complex formulation. The website has some advice on how to mix and match their one-note products for those customers who do not possess a PhD in chemistry, which let's face it, most of us don't. I have been layering the moisturizer with Ole Henriksen's Truth Serum but have been eyeballing The Ordinary's Buffet Serum as a replacement once I run out of Truth Serum. So far, I am pleased with The Ordinary's moisturizer. It hasn't made me breakout and it doesn't have the eyewatering laboratory smell that Indeed Labs' Fillume has. Have you tried The Ordinary's moisturizer? And if yes, how is it working for you?
