Reading Paula Begoun was how I first got into beauty/skincare stuff from a critical angle, and some of the first products I bought, so it kind of feels like an old friend that I've been drifting apart from.

I've never tried another gel moisturizer so I don't have any basis for comparison, but it does share that splash-of-water feeling and matte finish. It's more expensive than Simple, though, so I might have to give that a try!resident witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356098959005817650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-75717448604845487662016-06-21T10:05:16.990-07:002016-06-21T10:05:16.990-07:00I want to hear your thoughts on PC in general!

The moisturizer review we were all waiting for! <br /><br />When I go to countries in the winter I finally understand why everyone in temperate countries talk about moisturizing all the damn time. I slather on tons of heavy moisturizer. Here though, I can go days without moisturizer without any problems. <br /><br />Do bitch about PC! I'm really interested to hear what you have to say. I used to use a lot of PC as well but I've kind of moved on, and of course there were a couple of iffy things in the past few years.
