What I Love
What I Love
This sunscreen started off as a Holy Grail for me, and I went through three tubes of it, but after a while it started to make my skin slightly rashy which is a little disturbing. It's most likely just a reaction to the alcohol in the sunscreen, so I stopped using it over the winter when me skin is dry. I'll be trying it out again soon though!

I still love this cream, though it is getting slightly too heavy for summer time for my skin. I still use it a few times a week, just not every night like I would during Winter.

That is it for my Holy Grails of 2016! Next year I will only be doing a Fail or Holy Grail Review once per month, so alternating months of Fails or Holy Grails, because I feel like I'm under too much pressure to find a perfect or fail product once a month. I don't want to slag off a product just for the sake of having something to talk about for the month! But I hope you enjoyed hearing about my year of Holy Grails! ^ ^
