(Scroll down!).Ingredients: non-toxic, fragrance free, and transparent (everything is clearly stated on their website which cannot be said for many other brands).Packaging: I love the airless pump packaging on their serums but the downside is you can’t see how much is left. I cannot comment on how long each sample or full size item lasts.You know your skin best, so patch test if you need to. I put everything above on my entire face but if I feel like my nose area is already well hydrated by other products, I will skip the oil. My cheeks are the driest part of my face. Note: I consider myself to have normal to combination, resilient skin. I really hate pots of eye creams, so let’s see how this goes. I don’t wear eye cream regularly and include my eye area in whatever I put on my face. The packaging is also gorgeous and has an airless delivery that prevents contamination. Shaba Complex Eye Serum – Black tea ferment and copper peptides? Yummy.I will have to review this along with the Tata Harper and Tatcha facial oils in the future. I like it but I can’t say I love it as I have other oils. Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil – I’ve used this a few times in the last month.It may work in the summer months, but it’s not moisturizing enough in colder weather to be the sole source of hydration. I find myself reaching for this often in the morning to mix with the day serum, pre-SPF. B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Gel – I didn’t need this but got it because it came in a set.This will make your skin more sensitive to the sun so I wash my face well in the morning and SPF is a must. I put a healthy dose of facial oil or cream on top of it. I’m wary of the effects of overexfoliation so while I’d love to use this every night, it’s more of a 1-3x a week thing for me and never on consecutive nights or after I use another product with exfoliating ingredients. I have used chemical exfoliants in the past, but haven’t lately. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum (AHA serum) – Used for ~3 months sparingly. Lately I’ve been mixing it with the hydration gel. I really love this product and apply it on clean dry skin after I cleanse. I forget where I read it – maybe Instagram or Facebook. The color of the old serum was darker/more orange than the new serum due to some changes they made to the formula color since so many people thought the darker color meant oxidation (it’s the natural color of the ingredients). I finally finished one bottle and opened a new one. Used for a year, but more seriously the second half of the year. C-Firma Day Serum (vitamin C serum) – Reviewed.In most cases, the set is about the same price as a single regular priced item. Each value set comes with deluxe samples that are the same size as what’s in The Littles set - I can’t justify paying $90 for these deluxe samples. I consider Drunk Elephant to be a midrange splurge and current holiday value sets makes the price easier to swallow. I’ve been taking advantage of the recent promotions to restock my beauty closet - both on cost-effective drugstore favorites (that the mister uses too) and on the splurges.
