Since I was a very little girl, I was used to spending large vads of cash towards cosmetics. Apparently it's a French thing. If you go into the bathroom of a Parisian, you're very likely to find a collection of high end serums, day cream, night cream, eye day dream, eye night cream, body lotion, toner, bust lotion, leg gel, foot cream, hydrating face mask, purifying face mask, hair mask, the list goes on...As a baby, my mom used brands such as Lancome and Estee Lauder for my butt. Not my face though it was the traditional use for those...but my butt.
At the age of 8 I has the complete Lancome kit, by the time I was 18, I began to look into eye creams and at 25, at anti-wrinkle face products and firming body creams. Why then did I still have stretchmarks, dark circles, and fine lines? My diet was good, I exercised, I slept enough...and religiously layered my skin daily with Sisley, Estee Lauder, Lancome, etc. This went on until I became too poor to buy those products. At that point, I tried cheaper options and ended up with clogged pores. Around the same time, while I was looking for other cheaper yet good quality products, I found lists such as the one below (which I made from a mix of others):
