Clinique Deep Comfort Hand and Cuticle Cream

This 40mL/1.4fl. oz. deluxe sample tube of Clinique Deep Comfort Hand and Cuticle Cream was a rediscovery in the past few weeks. And by rediscovery, I meant I'd used half of it, tossed it into my nightstand drawer one night, and promptly forgot about it until now ^.^"

Wander Beauty Beach Balm Part II

After the success with Wander Beauty Beach Balm in Sangria, I spotted a High Tide Trio on their website with three different Beach Balms in Sol, Sangria, and Siesta and didn't think twice. Considering each Beach Balm retails for $22, this trio was $44 which translates to three Beach Balms for the price of two! That, and I sure could use a backup of Sangria.

RMK Ingenious Liquid Eyeliner EX

Don't remember what got me into these RMK Ingenious Liquid Eyeliner EX. I see them on Selfridges UK online all the time but never really pay any attention. And plus it's been a long time since I last bought a liquid eyeliner, with Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Sequin being three years ago in 2015.

Anyway, I ended up with 02 Deep Brown, 04 Metallic Rose, and 05 Khaki Gold from the permanent lineup, limited editions EX-01 Metallic Gold and EX-02 Metallic Green released fall 2015, and another LE RMK x Taro Horiuchi TH-01 Navy released fall 2017.

Bottega Veneta Perfumed Shower Gel

I forgot where I got this 30mL/1fl. oz. sample bottle of Bottega Veneta Perfumed Shower Gel from, but I just finished using it so here's a short review.

Suqqu 2017 Christmas Makeup Kit

Over the 2017 holidays season, Suqqu released two Christmas Makeup Kits in PG Pink Gold and WG White Gold, each with an eye shadow palette, loose powder blush, and lipstick in a tiny, round compact, all limited edition colors. I went with just the PG Pink Gold, because the only thing I liked in the WG White Gold kit was the lipstick, and that didn't justify getting the whole kit.  

The PG Pink Gold kit came with Designing Color Eyes 111 光雪華 (Kousetsuka), Powder Loose Blush 101 雪葡萄 (Yukibudou), and Moisture Rich Lipstick 104 牡丹染 (Botanzome).

The First Year

*Disclaimer*

Long, rambling post ahead. Most definitely TMI with some graphic descriptions. May cause some cringing. You've been warned.

I wasn't going to write this post but my sis-in-law thought I should or I'll forget it all and will regret it forever. She was right. And I thought might share it too, because perhaps someone out there may appreciate a chuckle or two.

Origins Original Skin Essence Lotion with Dual Ferment Complex

Been using this 7mL/0.24fl. oz. sample of Origins Original Skin Essence Lotion with Dual Ferment Complex from a GWP set as part of my current daytime routine.

Origins Plantscription Anti-aging Power Eye Cream

So I started using this small 1.5mL/0.05fl. oz. packet of Origins Plantscription Anti-aging Power Eye Cream by accident ^.^"

How, you say? Well, I was rummaging through my skincare drawer and found this packet and thought to combine it with the Plantscription Anti-Aging Eye Treatment I'm currently using, because they're the same stuff.

Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Eye Treatment

Half a year later and I finally, finally finished Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment, sheesh! Have since moved on to this full size 15mL/0.5fl. oz. jar of Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Eye Treatment. From the online description, it sounded like it would be a good nighttime choice, especially with the oncoming warm weather.

Origins Original Skin Renewal Serum with Willowherb

Been using this 15mL/0.5fl. oz. tube of Origins Original Skin Renewal Serum with Willowherb from the 2016 Black Friday 10-piece gift set (yes, 1.5 years later... =.="). From this set, I've also reviewed the Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash.

Paul & Joe Hand Cream Part II

Just finished this 40mL tube of Paul & Joe Hand Cream, the Silky version in the turquoise tube, so here's a quick review for it.

Origins Make a Difference Plus Rejuvenating Treatment Lotion

I'm using this 7mL/0.24fl. oz. bottle of Origins Make a Difference Plus Rejuvenating Treatment Lotion along with the Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Advanced Face Serum for my daytime routine.

Origins x Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Advanced Face Serum

Been using this tiny 5mL/0.17fl. oz. tube of Origins x Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Advanced Face Serum for the past week so here's a quick review for it.

This was part of a GWP I received when I bought a giant tube of Plantscriptions Anti-Aging Cleanser last year.

Biotherm Aquasource Nuit Hydrating Jelly

Bought this 50mL/1.69fl. oz. pump bottle of Biotherm Aquasource Nuit Hydrating Jelly for hubby but have been, ermm, "borrowing" some from him every now and then ^.^ Unfortunately this item has been discontinued so this review is late. Oh well.
