June 16, 2022 at 7:55 pmI did not realize that Hyaluronic was also used in hair products! I am going to give them a try!

June 15, 2022 at 1:34 pmHyaluronic Acid is one of my favorite skincare ingredients, but I haven’t taken advantage of it in haircare. I need to look into the L’Oréal Paris Hyaluron Plump 72H line!

June 13, 2022 at 12:05 pmAll such great summer picks, Dave!! My faves are the Origins Ginzing Tinted Moisturizer and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Italian Summer 2022 Love Pour Femme. Light Blue is the PERFECT summer scent! And so many days during the summer, the only product besides SPF I put on is perfume! I sweat A LOT, and I work very hard. That combo makes for a very sweaty me! Any product that can help remedy that is a winner in my book. So that’s one reason I like my perfume so strong. It has to hold up against, well, me!! But there are a ton of other amazing products in these picks that are just brilliant! Those Bridgerton palettes are GORGEOUS!! So fine!! All of these are really great picks, Dave! Thanks!! xoxoJJ

June 12, 2022 at 8:35 pmOh the Origins Ginzing SPF 40 energy-boosted tinted Moisturizer sounds amazing! Such a great list of products! The Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser is such a great, timeless & classic cleanser suited for all skin types/all ages! One of my all time favorites & the very first prestigious cleanser I ever purchased when I was 20 from Sephora! Back then there was no Ulta & I had to drive 2 hours to Atlanta to get to Sephora AR Lenox Mall! Oh the memories! Stepping into Sephora for the first time in 1999, I felt like a child on Christmas Day! Thank you as always Dave for sharing these great summer products! I wish I could try them all! So lovely! @BoydBess

June 12, 2022 at 8:08 amI watched this video and you convinced me to pick up Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Italian Love Eau De Toilette — it is a perfect summer scent! If you like citrusy scents, you’ll love this one! It smells like a freshly squeezed grapefruit and gives me a summertime feel. The scent type says citrus/woodsy but it smells more citrusy to me than woodsy.

May 24, 2022 at 4:46 amThe idea of Ombrelle Sensitive Expert Body Lotion just blew my mind a little bit. It not only provides an SPF 60 – which is obviously great, but the fact that it’s an actual lotion intrigues me a whole lot. I think I’d def try that one out. I bet my dry skin would enjoy it.
