Suqqu 2015 Christmas Makeup Kit A

When these Suqqu 2015 Christmas Makeup Kits went on display last fall, I went to swatch them (...and forgot to take photos of and post the swatches, sorry!). Kit A has Eye Color Palette EX-03 碧茶織 (Aosaori), and Kit B has EX-04 紫蘇織 (Shisouori). Both kits share the same Gel Eyeliner Pencil EX-02, 50mL/1.7fl oz. bottle of Eye Makeup Remover R, and tweed pouch.

When I saw the eye shadows in person, I leaned towards Kit B because of that gorgeous plummy maroon. Then I swatched the testers and decided Kit A was definitely a better choice. Will elaborate below.

Dove Moisture Care Oil Cleansing

Half way through this 170mL pump bottle of Dove Moisture Care Oil Cleansing so here's a super short review for it.

I don't know why I was hoping for this oil cleanser to be similar to the Sensitive Milk Facial Cleansing Foam. I guess that was just how much I enjoyed using that foaming wash and should probably repurchase ^.^

I guess that makes me slightly unreasonable for being disappointed with this cleansing oil. The texture is like any other cleansing oil, and it's scented with a fragrance that doesn't really stand out. What I don't like is that it doesn't rinse well. Given that it's a cleansing oil, I don't expect it to rinse clean. But I didn't expect it to rinse like a cleansing cream either, leaving behind a film. It's not unbearable, but I'll be moving on after finishing the bottle.

Addiction The Eyeshadow

After hearing all the oohs and ahhs about Addiction The Eyeshadow, I caved and picked up some. As you know, there are 99 of them, many of which I like. But I exercised self-restraint and bought just four: 043 Dangerous Liaison (P), 075 Boy Toy (P), 092 Mariage (P, one of their bestselling colors!), and 095 Color Purple (ME).

Addiction Pressed Duo Eyebrow

I've been using this Addiction Pressed Duo Eyebrow in 01 Cinnamon Duo for several months now, since last fall when I bought it. I suppose it's time for a review.

Menturm the Sun UV Watery Milk SPF50+ PA++++

After Sunkiller Perfect Strong Moisture SPF50+ PA++++, which unfortunately didn't work out very well for me, I moved on to this 35g bottle of Menturm the Sun UV Watery Milk SPF50+ PA++++.

Sunkiller Perfect Strong Moisture SPF50+ PA++++

I started using this 30mL bottle of Sunkiller Perfect Strong Moisture SPF50+ PA++++ over last December, when my family was here to visit. Along with Heroine Make and several others, Sunkiller is a sub-brand of Kiss Me, which is under the Isehan umbrella (also owns Kiss Cosmetics, Susie N.Y., etc.). This is my very first Sunkiller item!
