CosRX Pure Fit Cica Cream

I was looking forward to trying this 50mL/1.69fl. oz. tube of CosRX Pure Fit Cica Cream, but after a few uses, I was eager to use it up and get it over with instead ^.^ 

 

Caudalie VinoSource-Hydra Moisturizing Mask

Had two of these 75mL/2.5fl. oz. tubes of Caudalie VinoSource-Hydra Moisturizing Mask also and gave one away to my brother. He complained of dry skin and wanted to try a sleeping mask. Just after just one try though, he gave it back to me saying it smelled like dirt. Like, whaaa?

Erno Laszlo Hydra-Therapy Refresh Infusion

I had two of these 30mL/1fl. oz. pump bottles of Erno Laszlo Hydra-Therapy Refresh Infusion and quickly used up both. 

 

 

This was a transparent pale pink serum, slightly viscous and fragrant of rose--the good kind that didn't give me a headache. It went on very light and absorbed very quickly. I thought it might have been too light for the fall and winter but I started using it this past spring and found it adequate. Too bad it was discontinued. Glad I tried it!

 

Paul & Joe Foundation Primer Part V

Now that I've tried several of Paul & Joe Foundation Primers, I totally get why they have a cult following in Japan. Even I have developed my own favorite among them. I dislike the idea of a "HG" product--I cringe at the word, but let's just say that I will always give a new P&J primer a try because, yes, they're totally worth it. 

First up is the Pearl Foundation Primer 005 Bonani Versale released in Spring 2022 as part of Paul & Joe 20th Anniversary Collection. This was the 4th Pearl Foundation Primer I've had from P&J, so I know they aren't without problems, but I'm a total sucker for them nonetheless. Who could resist these colorful pearls suspended in clear gel?

Boscia Indigo Eye Cream

I had two of these 15mL/0.51fl. oz. jars of Boscia Indigo Eye Cream, one from a Boscia Day & Night Eye Set (from Costco!!!), and another from a later purchase. I kept only one jar and gifted the other to my friend M.

Senka Moisture Perfect Emulsion Silky

I got two of these 130mL Senka Moisture Perfect Emulsion Silky refill bag through a BOGO deal so I gifted one bag to my mum and kept the second one to use. 

Avene A-Oxitive Antioxidant Water-Cream

Finished this 30mL/1fl. oz. pump bottle of Avene A-Oxitive Antioxidant Water-Cream long ago but the post got buried in my Draft folder.  

Hacci Honey Lip

This 7g tube of Honey Lip is my first product fron the Japanese brand Hacci, so I only know that Hacci is a high-end luxury boutique brand based on honey (think Guerlain, but Japanese). A quick googling shows that it was found in 2009 by a descendant of a famous bee farm dated to 1912.

Guerlain Abeille Royale Eye R Repair Serum

Ever since Amore Pacific Intensive Revitalizing Eye Essence got me on the eye serums and essences train, I've been obsessed with the product. It took me a full year to finish up the Amore Pacific tube, and I was happy to finally moved on to this 20mL/0.6fl. oz. dropper bottle of Guerlain Abeille Royale Eye R Repair Serum. That was January, and this post had been buried in my Draft folder since. Until now, that is. This eye serum was discontinued three years ago anyway, and replaced with a Double Serum-something rather. 

&Honey Skincare Cleansing Oil

Just finished up these two 180mL pump bottles of &Honey Skincare Cleansing Oil in the "Regular" scent as well the LE Sakura scent.
