Suqqu Clear Neon Lipstick

This year, my interest in Suqqu's new releases dropped substantially. They released new and different color combos and all were great, but funny enough none really spoke to me. This whole year, I bought only two new things from Suqqu, summer's LE release Clear Neon Lipstick in 101 潤赤 (Urumiaka) and the UK LE fall quad (not the big 8-pan).

Don't get me wrong, I definitely bought other Suqqu items, but they were all from past collections, including a superb lucky find of Creamy Glow Lipstick 17 Ichijiku (will review next), even though the outer box was destroyed during shipping. Call me silly, but I kept finding myself looking back and reminiscing on older stuff ^.^

HABA Squalane II

Been using this 4mL bottle of HABA Squalane II, not to be confused with the original Squalane Beauty Oil Part II ^.^" This was another freebie I got as part of the Revitalizing Moisture Serum Set below.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lotion

After switching out this Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion of my little guy's bathroom because I couldn't stand the strong perfume, I've been using this 236mL/8fl. oz. bottle of First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lotion on him after his bath. Sadly, it's been discontinued so this review is late and useless, as usual =.=

Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Power Serum

Been using this 15mL/0.5fl. oz. tube of Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Power Serum as part of my morning routine so here's a quick post.

DHC Mild Lotion Part II

It's been a looong time since I last used DHC Mild Lotion, and what an interesting experience to revisit with this 32mL bottle that was part of a Sube Sube Travel Set I received as GWP when I stocked up some Deep Cleansing Oil for my mum. 

Etvos Mineral Classy Shadow

After years of avoiding colors that would turn reddish on my lids, I wanted to try actual red eye shadows. However, I didn't want to jump right into the statement-making, Lady Vengeance-red. I wanted to start slow with beiges, browns, and brown-reds, and this boring Etvos Mineral Classy Shadow in Proud Red (now discontinued) fit the bill ^.^

Sisley All Day All Year Essential Anti-Aging Day Care

When First Aid Beauty Coconut Water Cream didn't work out, I immediately moved on to this 9.7g/0.34oz. tube of Sisley All Day All Year Essential Anti-Aging Day Care for my daytime routine. I received this tube from Caty's generous swap package last winter and am slowly enjoying my way through it all. Thank you again, Caty!

First Aid Beauty Coconut Water Cream

This 9.6g/0.34oz. tube of First Aid Beauty Coconut Water Cream was another thing I tried once and had to put away. This tube was also from the Sephora PLAY! SMARTS Superfoods: Feed Your Face box.

L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream

I initially opened this 200mL/6.9oz. jar of L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream to use on my feet, because Origins Calm to Your Senses Lavender and Vanilla Body Souffle was too thin and nowhere near adequate. However, after just one use, I stashed it away until now, after I'd finished the current bottle of Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion. It was just too damn nice to be wasted on my alligator feet, so I'm using it all over instead ^.^"

Celvoke Voluntary Eye Palette Part II

Last fall, I stumbled upon this Celvoke Voluntary Eye Palette 06 Purple deeply discounted via Rakuten JP. It was neither used nor an auctioned item but was only 3,780yen after tax and shipping, and being a 2017 holiday release, it wasn't ancient, at least for me, so I snatched it up without a second thought ^.^

Coffret D'Or Mysterious Force Eyes

It's been two years since I last picked up a Coffret D'Or lippie, namely the Premium Stay Rouge shortly before they were discontinued, and even longer since I last picked up an eye shadow palette, partly because they'd gotten so repetitive and plain boring. 

It seems the power that be realized that also, because the brand has been releasing some pretty edgy stuff recently, many of which are perhaps too cool for boring ol' me ^.^ Last fall though, these hilariously-named sextet caught my eyes, the Mysterious Force Eyes in 01 Golden Modern and 02 Mauve Lady.

Komenuka Bijin Komenuka + Collagen Deep Moisture Jell Cream

I started on this 100g jar of Komenuka Bijin Komenuka + Collagen Deep Moisture Jell Cream in hope it would replace Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Dream Night Cream in my nighttime routine.   

Origins Calm to Your Senses Lavender and Vanilla Body Souffle

Finally got around to this huge 200mL/6.7oz. tub of Origins Calm to Your Senses Lavender and Vanilla Body Souffle. 

Clarins Multi-Active Eyes

After Clarins Enhancing Eye Lift Serum, I moved on to this 3mL/0.1oz. tube of Multi-Active Eyes for my morning routine.

Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion

A month into occasional use (may be every other night?) of this 300mL/10.14fl. oz. bottle of Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion for my little boy and I had to switch it out for the 236mL/8fl. oz. bottle of First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lotion instead (will review later). The Mustela lotion was from this Bathtime Essentials Gift Set I bought a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale some time ago.
