Maquillage Dramatic Rouge Part VII

This might be my last Maquillage Dramatic Rouge post (I kept saying that, and yet...) with four colors picked based on poorly-lit swatches on Cosme.net: BE322 Honey Beige, BE777 Vintage Beige, PK722 Vintage Pink, and RD343 Fresh Red.

Kiehl's Richly Hydrating Hand Cream

Wow, is it really the end of October? Summer just flew right by, didn't it? Now that's spooky.

Good thing I'm prepared with these Kiehl's Richly Hydrating Hand Creams, because my dry hands won't survive the winter otherwise. I actually bought this Scented Hand Cream Trio during Nordstrom's winter sale this past spring, and good thing I did because they're just about perfect right now.

Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream Part III

Finished these two tubes of Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream a while back, just as the weather turned cold and my hands were ready for something thicker and more substantial. Throughout the summer, I'd used up Rose de Vigne and The de Vignes from Hand and Nail Cream Trio bought during the last holidays season.

Suqqu Extra Glow Lipstick Part VII

This post on two new additions of Suqqu Extra Glow Lipstick has been stuck waiting in my queue for so long! Not only I'm way behind on photos, we moved home a few months back which means I haven't had time to play with them and give them a good trial.

Anyway, here are 14 瑞果実 (Mizukajitsu) Tomato Red, released in the spring, and 110 煌輝 (Kouki) Summer Light, which was a LE UK summer release.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

A good decade after trying the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, I finally, finally tried the Lotion version. I got this giant pack of two 591mL/20fl. oz. pump bottles plus a 118mL/4fl. oz. travel size from Costco and am already half way through one big bottle, with hubby's help of course.

Suppin Essentials Essence Milk

Currently using this Suppin Essentials Essence Milk as moisturizer for my daytime routine. I have a 10mL pump bottle from the Suppin Essentials Trial Set and inexplicably bought a full size 50mL bottle also before even trying it out. But now I'm actually glad I have more of it!

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

I used this 532mL/18fl. oz. bottle of Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion as daily body moisturizer throughout this past summer, so here's a quick review for it.


This lotion came out of the bottle surprisingly light. It went on light and absorbed quickly without any greasiness. Because of the light texture, I didn't think it would do much but it kept my skin soft all summer. My dry arms didn't itch, and that was impressive to me! Might repurchase this for next summer unless I find something else to try.

Suqqu Eye Makeup Remover R

Been using this 50mL/1.7fl. oz. bottle of Suqqu Eye Makeup Remover R for a while now. I have two bottles from the 2015 Christmas Makeup Kit A and Kit B. and have only gotten through more than half of one bottle so far.

L'Occitane Immortelle Make-up Remover

My queue for cleansing oils is down to just a couple of bottles, which means it's time to restock. So a couple of weeks ago I picked up a bottle of Peony Petal Cleansing Oil from L'Occitane (will review later) and got an Anti-Aging Skincare Gift in a cute little gift box. Among the items, I was most excited to try the 30mL/1fl. oz. of Immortelle Make-up Remover, which was another cleansing oil I'd been eyeing from L'Occitane.

Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Intensive Moisture Quenching Bi-phase Serum

This Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Intensive Moisture Quenching Bi-phase Serum (sheesh, how many words are in that name?!) is the updated version of the HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase I tried a few years ago. Through a few purchases, I ended up with four of these 3.5mL/0.1fl. oz. sample dropper tubes and happily poured them all into a small glass bottle with pump dispenser.
