I didn't want to put up with the sticky greasy mess that was DHI Beauty Water Drop Natural Shield Sun Stick, so I moved right along to this 26g tube of Laneige Air Light Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++.

Aqualabel Enriched Face Wash Foam
Been using this 20g tube of Aqualabel Enriched Face Wash Foam for a few weeks now so here's a quick post. This was a freebie tube from the Aqualabel Special Gel Cream (Oil In) Set A I bought for hubby from Rakuten JP last summer.

DHI Beauty Water Drop Natural Shield Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++
After hubby claimed the Medi Flower Perfect UV My Sun Stick for his backpack, I moved on to this 20g DHI Beauty Water Drop Natural Shield Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++.

Kamill Hand & Nail Cream
Another hit among Julia's most recent generous care package to me was this 30mL tube of Kamill Hand & Nail Cream. That's what it says on the tube, at least, because I'm not sure what the brand name is (help, Julia?) xD Perfect timing too, because I'd just finished my tube of Re:MAKE Cosme White Milk Hand Cream Rose too and this Kamill tube went straight into my bag in its place.

RMK Ingenious Powder Eyes N Part IV
Update Wednesday, February 26, 2020.
Just a quick update for some RMK Ingenious Powder Eyes N comparisons between EX-19 Romantic Beige Pink, EX-22 Chocolate Mauve, and 23 Red Brown below.
From left to right: EX-19 Romantic Beige Pink, EX-22 Chocolate Mauve, and 23 Red Brown. All pictures taken in natural light without flash.
See how 23 Red Brown has that lovely wet metallic sheen in comparison to the other two?

I have a few other RMK items I still haven't gotten around to photograph (brow powder, cheek stick, etc.), but this Ingenious Powder Eyes N in 23 Red Brown was a 2017 summer release that Selfridges UK never picked up, which meant I had to hunt it down personally (thank you, Rakuten JP!).

Caudalie Vine Body Butter
I don't like raving about stuff but I feel it'd be unfair to not rave about this 225mL/7.6fl. oz. jar of Caudalie Vine Body Butter. I didn't think it would be possible to top L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream's dreamy deliciousness but wow, I was wrong!

Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Balm
Almost done with this giant 312g/11oz. tub of Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Balm, finally! I've been itching to be done with it so I can move on to the tube of Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream (pictured below).

Medi Flower Perfect UV My Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++
Woah, we're already more than 2/3 of the way through February!
Anyway, I started using this 20g Medi Flower Perfect UV My Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ after throwing out Skinzen Ecoglam Sun Stick because I just couldn't stand how sticky and icky it was. Considering it was meant for my laptop bag, the stickiness that never set was especially egregious because it'd get all over my laptop keyboard. Who'd want to type with a sticky laptop? Not me. Yuck.

Cle de Peau Beaute Intensive Fortifying Emulsion
About a month ago, another generous care package from Caty arrived at my door (thank you, Caty!). Among the goodies were this full size 125mL/4.2fl. oz. pump bottle of Cle de Peau Beaute Intensive Fortifying Emulsion and another 12mL/0.4fl. oz. travel sized tube of the same. Caty said her skin is sensitive to scented stuff and she didn't care for this emulsion. However, it's also mostly full so I get the pleasure of trying it ^.^ Lucky me, and thank you again, Caty!

DHC Eye & Lip Makeup Remover
Started using this 120mL bottle of DHC Eye & Lip Makeup Remover a few weeks ago to great relief, because both Estee Lauder Take It Away Makeup Remover Lotion and The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-up Remover stung the hell out of my eyes.
