Heimish All Clean Balm

I finished CLE Cosmetics Melting Cleanser in record time, folks, around three weeks(!!), and moved on to this 120mL jar of Heimish All Clean Balm a few weeks ago. Even then, I picked this balm only because it was leaking in its packaging.

Martial Vivot Shampoo

Since Philip B Peppermint & Avocado Volumizing & Clarifying Shampoo is a clarifying shampoo that I can't really use everyday, I moved on to this 30mL/1fl. oz. bottle of Martial Vivot Shampoo instead, from the same Beauty Habit GWP.

Philip B Peppermint & Avocado Volumizing & Clarifying Shampoo

After Frederic Fekkai Technician Color Care Shampoo, I fished out another 60mL/2fl. oz. travel sized bottle of Philip B Peppermint & Avocado Volumizing & Clarifying Shampoo without reading the label carefully (happens a lot, unfortunately...). It was from a Beauty Habit GWP some years back and I was antsy to use and be done with it while hubby's working on the remainder of the Bene Premium Crystal Rose Repair Shampoo bottle.

Curel UV Protection Milk SPF50+ PA+++

Having finished the nth bottle of Sunkiller Perfect Strong Moisture, I decided to do something different and added this 60mL Curel UV Protection Milk SPF50+ PA++++ to my lineup of sunscreen milks.

Currently, the lineup includes Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Aqua Booster Mild, Nivea Sun Protect Water Milk Mild, and Biore SaraSara UV Perfect Bright Milk) to mix and match, with the current working cocktail being Anessa, Biore, and Hada-Labo Koi-Gokujyun Perfect UV Gel as I'd gotten bored of the Allie gel.

Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Beautiful Day Cream

More than half way through this 28g/1oz. jar of Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Beautiful Day Cream. This came from a set together with a full sized Heavenly Night Cream I received from Caty last winter (along with other serious goodies--thank you again, Caty!). I also had a tiny 4g/0.14oz. sample from an order a while back so I incorporated it into the jar also.

Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Heavenly Night Cream

Last winter, a reader, Caty, surprised me with the most jaw-dropping care package ever with a few full sizes and two giant bags of Sisley and La Mer samples (thank you SO much, Caty!). Among the goodies was a set of 50g/1.7oz. full size Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Heavenly Night Cream and a smaller 28g/1oz of the accompanying Beautiful Day Cream (will post next).

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Toner

Almost done with this 40mL/1.4fl. oz. bottle of Kiehl's Ultra Facial Toner too. This bottle was part of a GWP from Nordstrom more than a year ago and only now could I get to it.

Frederic Fekkai Technician Color Care Shampoo

After Giovanni 2Chic Ultra-Moist Shampoo and Conditioner, I moved on to this 59mL/2fl. oz. bottle of Frederic Fekkai Technician Color Care Shampoo. Am almost done with it, in fact, with just a couple of uses left, so I'm posting a quick review for it.

Suqqu Moisture Rich Lipstick Part IV

This Moisture Rich Lipstick 106 夕鏡 (Yuukagami) was one of three limited edition lipsticks, part for Suqqu's fall 2018 collection. There were also three Designing Color Eyes, one LE and two permanent, but I skipped them all. In fact, out of the whole collection, I was drawn only to this lipstick.

Clarins Water Comfort One-Step Cleanser

I got a pair of 10mL/0.3fl. oz. sample bottles of cleansing water from Clarins, one is the Water Purity One-Step Cleanser reviewed a few days ago, and the other Water Comfort One-Step Cleanser below.

Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil

Been using this tiny 2.8mL/0.09oz. tube of Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in 01 Honey because I have two of them. One was from the Clarins Advent Calendar 2018, which I really bought  for the full size Beauty Flash Balm and the mini Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch, and the other was from the Clarins x Feed 10 Love Forward Set.

Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch

My newfound appreciation for primers and bases led me to purchase the Clarins Advent Calendar 2018, solely because it contained a full size Beauty Flash Balm as well as this mini 4mL/0.13oz jar of Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch which I've been dying to try. Well, and the mini lip oil too which I've been curious about for a long time. I'll post that next.

Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water

Along with CLE Cosmetics Melting Cleanser (which I'm almost done with, by the way), this 40mL/1.35fl. oz. bottle of Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water was part of the Cult Favorite GWP I received from Beauty Habit for a recent purchase.

Skinzen Ecoglam Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++

Several times now, our little guy slept in, which meant hubby missed his commute bus, which meant I drove him to work after we dropped the little guy off at school. This meant I had to camp out at a coffee shop nearby hubby's office until we could grab lunch together in 2-3 hours. All this because the office was a 30-minutes drive away from home, and I wasn't keen on wasting time driving back and forth. So I'd bring my laptop and get in my morning writing. This also meant my laptop bag needed a sun stick--I carry one with me everywhere now, hence this 20g Skinzen Ecoglam Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++.
