RMK Ingenious Powder Eyes N Part III

From the RMK Ingenious Powder Eyes N 2017 spring collection, among the five LE colors I picked up three: EX-19 Romantic Beige Pink, EX-21 Golden Shine, and EX-22 Chocolate Mauve. I was ambivalent about EX-20 Amber Apricot and decided to skip it.

Suqqu Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist Part IV

Several months ago, I lucked out and was able to nab Suqqu Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist in the colors 08 桃玉 (Tougyoku) and 09 柘榴石 (Zakuroseki) via Selfridges UK Online. I did mention I want all the colors in this formula, right? ^.^

Vivierskin C E Peptides

After some seven months, I finally ran out of Blossom Jeju Pink Camellia Soombi Essence Serum. Having my hands full with the little one, I didn't have time to line up the next few facial treatment choices. Instead, I just opened up my nightstand drawer and grabbed whatever that's been lying in there for a god knows how long--this 3.75mL/0.13fl. oz. dropper bottle of Vivierskin C E Peptides.

Clarins Joli Rouge Brilliant

A few months ago Clarins USA had a sales event, which was all the excuses I needed to try their Joli Rouge Brilliant in the older packaging at 30% off of retail (the line was revamped in late 2015 with gold packaging) ^.^ There were several colors on sale and I picked three: 20 Coral Tulip, 21 Pink Orchid, and 22 Coral Dahlia.

rinRen Non-Additive Shampoo Yuzu & Ginger

Finally getting around to use the 400mL refill pouch of rinRen Non-Additive Shampoo Yuzu & Ginger. I bought this along with a different scent, Rose & Tsubaki, last year at Natural Lawson for quite a hefty price, 1,300yen for this refill pouch (or 1,900yen for the 520mL pump bottle).

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Blooming Lip Balm

In addition to Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Summer Lip Glow 02 Sunblush, I also picked up a Pure Color Envy Blooming Lip Balm, again in hopes it bears some resemblance to the the Lip Conditioner I used and liked years ago.

Belif Creamy Cleansing Foam Moist

Now using the 30mL/1fl. oz. of Belif Creamy Cleansing Foam Moist from the Bestsellers On-the-Go Travel Kit. From this kit, I've also reviewed Moisturizing and Firming Eye Cream.  


This cleansing foam smells just like the eye cream actually, an herbal citrus-verbena scent that I like better in a cleanser than in an eye cream. It foams well, though nothing crazy like its Japanese counterpart. It rinses well also and isn't too harsh or drying, overall a decent cleanser. Glad to have tried it but will move on.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Summer Lip Glow

It's been a while since my last Estee Lauder product, the Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Infusion I wasn't too impressed with. In fact, the last item I really liked was the Pure Color Crystal Lipstick in Ripe Papaya some six years ago.

Meanwhile, they kept trying to tempt me with freebies and I wasn't interested until I spotted the Summer Lip Glow from the 2017 summer Bronze Goddess Collection. There were two shades available and both are now sold out: 01 Sunlit Nude and 02 Sunblush, which I bought. While at it, I also picked up a Pure Color Envy Blooming Lip Balm. Will review this next.

Suqqu Eye Color Palette Part V

Suqqu Eye Color Palettes 01 透橙石 (Toutouseki) and 02 金紫石 (Kinshiseki) are the last of my nostalgic purchases. For the longest time, palette 01 透橙石 (Toutouseki) wasn't available on Selfridges UK online. One night I saw a brief appearance and noted how similar it was to EX-06 花瑞樹 (Hanamizuki), so I decided to pick it up for research. Right.
