Aritaum Shine Fix Eyes Part III

Got a few more Aritaum Shine Fix Eyes and looking forward to wearing eye shadows again soon ^.^ In addition to 02 Pink Oyster and 32 Mambo Mood, somehow I managed to repurchase 05 Romantic Floor by accident =.=" This mistake is especially annoying considering 05 Romantic Floor is among the colors that were too warm for me. Urgh.

Paul & Joe Creamy Blush

Picked up this Paul & Joe Creamy Blush in 03 Punk Rock because I wanted to own the pretty Compact 011. Yes, a total impulse buy -.-"

By the time I got this cream blush, this whole purchase had already proven itself disastrous: Lipstick 205 Strawberry Jam was ho-hum and Eye Color Limited 007 Castles in the Air was a total dud. So I was pretty wary of this Creamy Blush, after all I just wanted something to fill this pretty butterfly compact with.

Nude ProGenius Rescue Oil

Finished Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil two weeks ago and been onto this 10mL/0.33fl. oz. dropper bottle of Nude ProGenius Rescue Oil., part of the Sephora Favorites 2015 Skin Wonderland an angel sent to me all the way in Tokyo in the spring of 2016.

Paul & Joe Eye Color Limited

Along with Paul & Joe Lipstick 205 Strawberry Jam (Natural), I also got the Eye Color Limited in 007 Castles in the Air. This eye palette was part of the summer Daydream Believer Collection I'd been excited about since the spring. Not only the compact is cute, the shadows in honeycomb pattern are eye-catching even if they require smaller brushes to pick up.

Clarins Kiss Joli Baume

Back in May, I picked up Clarins Multi-Active Day Gel-Cream for hubby (will review later) and this Kiss Joli Baume caught my eyes. I've been on a non-stop lippie craze since my third trimester and so into my cart the lip balm went.

L'Occitane Cerisier Pastel Body Milk

I don't know what came over me when I picked up this 8.4fl. oz. bottle of L'Occitane Cerisier Pastel Body Milk, especially when I'm using the Hand Cream version and could barely stand the scent (will review later). What I really wanted were the Bonne Mere Soaps and this body milk ended up being an impulse buy that I regret.

Organic Rose Skin Conditioning Gel

Hubby has always favored gels and gel-creams and wouldn't touch anything heavier. He has well-behaved normal skin, so it makes sense. In the past couple of years though, he's also taken an interest in all the skincare layers on my face but can't be bothered with more than one product. That's where the all-in-one stuff comes in ^.^

He's used and liked a few so far, Grace One Perfect Gel Cream, Kokutousei Hakkou E Gel Cream Hydrating Elastic Gel, and for a while he was sharing Hada-Labo Shirojyun Hyaluron Clear Essence Jelly with me until we both agreed it was too moisturizing for the summer. Since then, he's moved on to this 90g jar of Organic Rose Skin Conditioning Gel.

L'Occitane Shea Butter Cleansing Oil

I never thought I'd be sad to use up a particular cleansing oil, but I actually was to have ran out of Astalift Complete Makeup Remover Oil a few weeks ago :( That's a good sign I should probably try a full size. In the meantime, I'm half way through this 30mL/1fl. oz. bottle of L'Occitane Shea Butter Cleansing Oil from the Shea Butter Comforting Set.

Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Story

I didn't mean to buy this Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Story, a set containing all three Frog Prince products, Lipstick, Cream Blush, and Lip Gloss. As gimmicky as they all appeared, I was only curious about the lipstick, just as I was with Hello Sailor. However, at the time the individual lippie ($25) was more expensive than this whole set on sale ($22.50!), so the set was what I got.

Lipstick Queen Hello Sailor

Been curious about Lipstick Queen Hello Sailor for a while. At the same time, I was dubious with the website's claim that this lipstick is among their bestsellers. So I did my own research and found that the lippie is generally well-liked, with the biggest complaint being that it's sheer. Okay, I'm cool with sheer and into my cart it went during one of LQ's recent sales.

RMK W Irresistible Lips Part II

The previous RMK W Irresistible Lips pick in 04 Deep Red was such a success I went back for more, this time getting 03 Beige. Yes, I don't love nude lippies, but I like the formula (and the slimmer packaging!) so much I could not care less that it's old.
