Peter Thomas Roth Skin To Die For Mattifying Primer

I'm all in when it cone to mattifying pore reducing primers.  My pores are huge and my nose and chin very oily. Much of my morning routine is spent trying to minimize them.

Peter Thomas Roth's new  Skin To Die For Mattifying Primer really gets the job done and is one of the best I've used.   It has a slight, sheer tint and smoothes right into skin and over pores with a blurring effect making it a  bit of a multitasker.  There's a definite difference in before and after use.   The primer also kept oil well in check through the morning.  A light touch of powder was needed at lunchtime, which is generally a must for me no matter what I use. But a very light bit of was all I needed, less than usual.

The formula uses the brand's Evermat to help keep oil at bay and reduce pores along with Disa-Pore 20. It's very light on skin, not dry and can be used alone if you prefer no makeup or under your foundation/powder.

This would work for all but dry skins I think. Oily obviously, but normal to slightly dry also, as it's blurring and filling applies to more than pores.

Peter Thomas Roth Skin To Die For No Filter  Mattifying Primer is $ 28 at Ulta, Sephora , Macys and more. 

The Body Shop Vanilla Pumpkin

If you love Pumpkin Spice to eat and drink, how about some Vanilla Pumpkin for your hands, feet , elbows and more?

Vanilla  Pumpkin is the delicious Fall addition at The Body Shop .
It comes  in their iconic , and it truly deserves that word, Body Butter along with Shower Gel and Hand Lotion .

The scent is delish as most fragrances from them are, a gourmand mix of maple, light spices and rich vanilla from Madagascar vanilla extract and comes in bright orange, seasonally decorated packaging.

It's not too usual to see food scents in a hand cream, so I love that there is one here. Now all I have to do is try to sniff my hands all day. It wouldn't look too good.

IT Cosmetics Miracle Water 3 in 1 Glow Tonic

Leave it to IT to come out with a Micellar that's more than a Micellar.  Nothing basic for this brand.

Their new Miracle Water is a cleansing micellar but also contains their Secret Sauce™ Fermented Complex, which is a combination of 7 penetration-enhancing fermented ingredients. These help skin absorb moisturizers and serums better . There are peptides,  hydrolyzed collagen, rose, aloe, rice, chamomile, green tea water, licorice root and vitamin C along with their  Drops of Light Technology™ Concentrate for brightening and glow. 

You can use it as a cleanser or after cleanser , leaving it on your face  like an essence .  That's what I've been doing.  A swipe all over after cleansing. It not only gets any remaining makeup or grime but adds  just enough moisture to my skin. Sometimes I add serum over it, sometimes not.

It feels light and refreshing on skin and especially makes an easy wake up and get ready fast morning product.  Who can't use a little time saving that's also good for skin?

IT Cosmetics Miracle Water 3 in 1 Glow Tonic is $ 38 for 8.5 oz
