Drugstore Collective Skincare Haul

Hi everyone,

I finally filmed this video, which is kind of long overdue.

I also realized that I totally forgot to mention one other product that I've been using daily... The aloe vera gel! I guess I'll include that in my video with the Olay ProX Advanced Cleaning system.

I only listed the minutes for products that I actually have input on, but I hope this video was helpful.


Uploading this video really discouraged me from uploading future videos with my new camera .... It takes WAY too long to upload it on Youtube.

Till next time :)
