Sephora Micellar Cleansing Water

In the spring of 2017, Sephora released a collection of skincare in a variety of fragrances that included Rose, Coconut, Green Tea, Charcoal, and Yuzu. Among the collection were cleansing milks (Rose and Coconut) and waters (Green Tea, Charcoal, and Yuzu) but the whole range has since been discontinued. I managed to pick up this 100mL/3.38fl. oz. bottle of Micellar Cleansing Water Yuzu in the fall of 2017 (I think) because, well, it's yuzu and I had to try it.

Avene Micellar Lotion

This 100mL/3.3fl. oz. bottle of Avene Micellar Lotion was part of a generous GWP from Beauty Habit a while ago, though it was only recently that I added it to my lineup of cleansing waters.

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream

From the same Rose Set as the Fresh Rose Floral Toner is this 30mL/1fl. oz. glass jar of Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream, which brought my skin back to life after Tatcha The Water Cream deep fried it.

Fresh Rose Floral Toner

Half way through this 60mL/2fl. oz. spray bottle of Fresh Rose Floral Toner so here's a review for it. It was a part of the Rose Set I picked up for myself and my gal pal J. at Nordstrom last holiday season, when Fresh ran a nice promotion there.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm

Last winter, I tried a 7mL/0.22oz. sample jar of Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm and liked it enough to order the 70mL/2.2oz full size with a fantastic promo ^.^

Estee Lauder Nutritious Rosy Prism Radiant Essence

Just finished a tiny 4mL/0.14fl. oz. pump bottle of Estee Lauder Nutritious Rosy Prism Radiant Essence so here's a quick post. Spoiler: I liked it, and of course it's no longer available, having been either discontinued or wasn't available within the North American market to begin with :(

Tatcha The Water Cream

Urgh. I dread writing this post but here goes.

For a few years now, Sephora has been trying to claw its way onto the monthly subscriptions bandwagon. I've been ignoring these boxes because they contain products I don't care for. Last fall though, I spotted this box of Sephora Play! Smarts: Skincare by Age 40s with a 5mL tube of Caudalie Premier Cru The Eye Cream, which I'd totally pay $10 for because the 15mL full size is $99, everything else in the box was bonus. So I bought the box, which apparently you could for the same subscription price of $10.

Among the "bonus" items from that box was this 5mL/0.17fl. oz. jar of Tatcha The Water Cream, which lasted me about a week of daily use in the mornings. Thank god it was over, because this water cream might as well be just water. It was so woefully inadequate my skin is now in recovery mode from all the dry patches that developed.

Jurlique Hand Cream Part II

Been using two 40mL tubes of Jurlique Hand Cream in the Citrus and Rose scents. I sent the Jasmine scent tube to a friend in Tokyo so this will be the last Jurlique hand cream post.

Estee Lauder Take It Away Makeup Remover Lotion

I have a 30mL/1fl. oz. tube of Estee Lauder Take It Away Makeup Remover Lotion that I've tried using a few times but am still ambivalent about, each use left me feeling iffy and uncertain rather than clean and confident.
