Popular Celeb Skin-Care Products: Splurge, Steal & (Super Steal)
I'm always on the hunt for new skin-care products that can help me achieve that elusive clear, pore-less, baby soft skin. I sample and buy tons of products, but I ultimately end up sticking to my same old-fashioned routine of white Dove soap, water and Ponds cold cream. Its a tried and true method that has helped carry me through my teens and now to the ripe old age of 25.
That still hasn’t stopped me from wanting to at least tryyy new products. Me being completely obsessed with celebrity trends, I of course always try to get my hands on, or at least learn more about any new and exciting products, fads or styles that pique my interest. For example, I've been dying to try Peter Thomas Roth's 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Hydra-Gel Eye Patches. These under-eye patches promise to leave the eye area looking smooth, revitalized, lifted and radiant. (Sounds like a dream right?) I've been wanting to get my hands on them for forever, but their hefty $75 price tag quickly reminds me that I'm not a celebrity.
