I often accumulate at a faster rate than I actually use and finish. Hence, the sea of bottles and products in my bathroom cabinet! Anyway, will have to try the L'Oreal Oleo products. It's always nice to hear about a good drugstore shampoo. xxMary Stackhouse https://www.blogger.com/profile/03038038778218239411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-40674255177852329412014-02-01T12:10:06.794-05:002014-02-01T12:10:06.794-05:00Hi Dovey!

I think ...Hi Dovey!<br />Thank you for your comments! :D<br />I think now I have a good balance btw drugstore and higher-ends in terms of beauty shopping. I guess I research more before I buy anything.<br />Boots and Lumene are pretty nice and reasonably priced. Let me know if you try them.<br /><br />I'm actually glad my Google+ comment box stopped working. I didn't realize how restrictive it was until I switched back! :)Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-78923446761290568982014-01-31T22:46:04.070-05:002014-01-31T22:46:04.070-05:00Hi Lena,

I'v...My pleasure! It is a fine post, really. :D<br />I've tried some other skincare products from Lumene and been always quite pleased. No nonsense brand.<br />As for retinol regimen, I actually like Retin-Aldehyde range from Avene. OTC retinol doesn't work as effectively or has strong ordors (ex:RoC) and Retin-A is too strong and seems unnecessary for me. The Avene range is a happy medium.<br />I have reviewed on them -> http://www.lenallure.com/2012/02/skincare-review-avene-eluage.html<br />I usually switch up every 2-3 months, but sometimes I keep a bottle of Eluage (Avene) and use it during PMS to keep hormonal breakouts at bay. Hths! :)Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-54608112072742142202014-01-28T20:52:04.528-05:002014-01-28T20:52:04.528-05:00They have the PM facial moisturizer which does not...They have the PM facial moisturizer which does not contain sunscreen but as moisturizing.<br />I really love the whole range this brand offers!
