Jurlique Skin Balancing Face Oil

Been using this 50mL/1.6fl. oz. bottle of Jurlique Skin Balancing Face Oil off and on for the past couple of months. A while ago I tried a sample sachet and loved the mild powdery rosy scent that was both soothing and uplifting, so last winter when Jurlique had a holiday sales I jumped at the chance to get this face oil discounted.

Melano CC Anti-Spot White Lotion

Half way through this 170mL bottle of Melano CC Anti-Spot White Lotion so I guess a review is overdue. I know, you're probably thinking I'm a hypocrite because I'd said over and over I don't care for lightening, brightening, or whitening products. I still don't. I'm not using this stuff for my face, you see. I'm actually using it for the stretch marks on my belly ^.^ Yep, you read that right, Melano CC to fade postpartum stretch marks.

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Cloud Cream Cleanser

In between using Darphin Refreshing Cleansing Milk, I took a detour to try this tiny 7.5mL/0.25fl. oz. of Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Cloud Cream Cleanser. It lasted me all of three uses ^.^

Darphin Refreshing Cleansing Milk

Almost done with this 200mL/6.7fl. oz. pump bottle of Darphin Refreshing Cleansing Milk so here's a quick post. This is the first product I'm trying from the brand and so far so good!

Mustela Stretch Marks Cream

I was using this 150mL/5.07fl. oz. tube of Mustela Stretch Marks Cream throughout the summer but had to stop more than half way through. This particular tube is from the Mustela Maternity Skincare Set along with a full size Nursing Comfort Balm, but I bought it as a single item too.

Peter Thomas Roth Mega-Rich Body Wash Part II

Woops. Finished this 30mL/1fl. oz. travel sized bottle of Peter Thomas Roth Mega-Rich Body Wash but totally forgot to post this review.

Estee Lauder Hydrationist Maximum Moisture Creme

I was using this Estee Lauder Hydrationist Maximum Moisture Creme during the summer months, which was precisely the wrong time to use it. Good thing I only scooped out half of the 50mL/1.7 oz. jar and shared the rest with my mum.

Pixi Beauty Rose Tonic

Been using this Pixi Beauty Rose Tonic over the past month and really like it! I have two 40mL/1.35fl. oz. bottles from the Best of Rose sets below and one 100mL/3.4fl. oz. bottle I bought separately along with their well-loved Glow Tonic (will post later).

Mommy! Sun Protect UV Natural Gel SPF33 PA+++

Woops--more than three quarter way through this 250g pump bottle of Mommy! Sun Protect UV Natural Gel SPF33 PA+++ for our three-year old so this review is overdue. 

 Since sending our toddler back to preschool in mid-July, hubby has been faithfully slathering the little guy with this gel before heading out. The school requires parents to apply sunscreen to their kids before coming to school, then in the afternoon their teachers reapply with a mineral sun stick.

Paul & Joe Lip Treatment Balm

This review is long overdue, and I'd only remembered to post it after reading Lena's post on Lip Treatments back in July. I've been using this 12g jar of Paul & Joe Lip Treatment Balm L in LE "color" 004 Vin Chaud (mulled wine) since January of this year, and I'd hit pan much sooner than I thought I would--after just two months of use! There were actually 2 varieties released as part of the holiday 2018 collection, 004 Vin Chaud and 005 Stollen, but only 004 was available.

Saborino Treatment in Shampoo

Already half way through this 460mL bottle of Saborino Treatment in Shampoo! There are two versions, Moist and Rich Moist. I bought both but hubby and I are currently using the Moist first. We started using it more than a month ago. 

I first read about this on Citrine's Blog and was excited to try it. My hair is getting long again which means conditioner takes forever to rinse and I just don't have the energy or the time. So a shampoo and conditioner in one is exactly what I need. Plus this brand is new and I haven't tried it before.

Boots No7 Radiant Results Nourishing Cleansing Balm

After all this talk about not being wasteful, I did end up squeezing out my tube of Boots No7 Radiant Results Nourishing Melting Gel Cleanser into the trash and recycled the packaging. I just couldn't stand that stuff and wouldn't wish it on anyone else, so I'd rather toss it. In its place is this 125mL/4.2fl oz jar of Radiant Results Nourishing Cleansing Balm.
