Suqqu Tone Touch Eyes Part II

Hi there. I'm still here. Sorry for the lack of posts so far this year. 

2020 was a rough year. I hope everyone is well and healthy, and can find little nuggets of sunshine wherever and whenever possible. Hubby and I are surviving. As members of the general public, we're only a few days away from getting our Covid-19 vaccine, so we're hanging in there. I hope everyone has gotten theirs or is getting theirs soon. As eager as we are for this pandemic thing to be over, we're not about to throw caution to the wind now that we're this close to the end.

I'm still going through my skincare queue. It's the color makeup that's taking a hit in terms of usage, not surprising given I can count on one hand how many times I've left the house since lock-down began in March 2020, as if I was able to leave the house that often before. I'm so behind on photos and posts (may be a year's worth of photos now?) it's not even funny. Ha.

Anyway, these Suqqu Tone Touch Eyes were Umeda Hankyu LE from fall 2019 that didn't show up on Selfridge UK online until around January 2020. It was some kind of technical glitch if I recall correctly. There were four colors available, 101 華靄 (Hanamoya) and 102 霞空 (Kasumizora) in the Silk finish (shimmery with some metallic), and 103 銀緑 (Ginryoku) and 104 銀朱 (Ginshu) in the Stellar finish (highly shimmer with some metallic, without the embossed Suqqu logo).

All pictures taken in natural light without flash.

Sisley Buff and Wash Facial Gel

Ack I kept finding posts I forgot about in the draft folder! 

Finished this 10mL/0.33fl. oz. tube of Sisley Buff and Wash Facial Gel a while ago but forgot to post this review. This tube was also from the super generous package I got from Caty a couple of years back (Thank you again, Caty! Has it really been that long?!).

DHC Enriched Night Milky Essence Aqua Charge

On a different occasion, I was browsing Rakuten JP and, among other things, spotted this 80g pump bottle of DHC Enriched Night Milky Essence Aqua Charge and picked it up without hesitation. Since I'd tried a sample of the cream and loved it, I figured I'd give the essence a chance too.

DHC Enriched Night Cream Repair & Lift Extra

Sometime in the fall of 2019, I received a sample packet DHC Enriched Night Cream Repair & Lift Extra. I tried it and was really impressed, and so I ordered the 2x50g full size jars set deal from Rakuten JP and gave one to my mum. Anyhow, I didn't get around to actually using the cream until now, and wow, let's just say this one jar might actually last me a few winters!

Lancome Rose Sugar Scrub

Finished this 100mL/3.34fl. oz. tube of Lancome Rose Sugar Scrub a few months ago but again forgot to publish the post and there it sat in the draft folder until now. Woops. This scrub was a deluxe sample size from the Lancome Skincare Essentials Collection I got from 2019 holidays season.

Avene Gentle Milk Cleanser

Been using this 200mL/6.7fl. oz. pump bottle of Avene Gentle Milk Cleanser and really like it so here's a quick post. Also, just realized I've been on a non-foaming cleanser stretch for more than a year now, since February 2020 when I last went out for leisure--and wore sunscreen!--before the pandemic hit the American shores T.T

Dear Beaute Himawari Oil In Shampoo & Conditioner

Been really enjoying this Dear Beaute Himawari Oil In Shampoo & Conditioner! There are three types, the brand new Smooth & Repair, Rich & Repair--this is what I'm using, and Gloss & Repair. This was a recommendation from Julia way back in 2017. When my sister did her international pharmacy rotation in Japan, I asked her to lug home for me a set of two 500mL pump bottles of shampoo and conditioner, two 360mL refill bags, and a 200g tube of Oil In Treatment. When she came home the summer of 2018, I was in the middle of moving house and, like many of my other bath and body stuff, they were misplaced among all the moving boxes, until now =.="

Bioderma Atoderm Gentle Shower Gel

Oops. Finished this 200mL tube of Bioderma Atoderm Gentle Shower Gel a while ago but forgot this short post was still in draft folder ^.^" So here it is, finally, a little late but better than never.

Kiehl's Gently Exfoliating Body Scrub Grapefruit

After finishing Kiehl's Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Body Polish, hubby and I moved on to this 56mL/2fl. oz. jar of Gently Exfoliating Body Scrub Grapefruit. This jar was from the Grapefruit Body Duo, also part of the Nordstrom order as the Body Polish (and also similarly misplaced for a few years...ha!).

Kiehl's Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Body Polish

Hubby said this 75mL/2.5fl. oz. tube of Kiehl's Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Body Polish was one of the best body scrub he's tried so far, and I agreed. This tube was part of the Creme de Corps Collection with LE Disney packaging I got from Nordstrom a few years ago. Yes, it's a few years old--misplaced when we moved home and only resurfaced late last year when I dug out our bathroom supply closet. Woops.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Foam

Half way through this 100mL/3.4fl. oz. tube of Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Foam. It was a freebie from a Nordstrom order a while ago. Hubby and I started using this tube a couple of months back. Actually, I only use it occasionally and it's hubby who uses it daily. The tube has been staying in our boys' bathroom where hubby showers everyday now, before drawing a bath to soak together with his mini-me's xD

Sisley Supremya At Night The Surpreme Anti-Aging Eye Serum

Before I started using the Sisley Sisleya Eye and Lip Contour Cream, I was using this 1g/1mL/0.03 oz. tube of Sisley Supremya At Night The Surpreme Anti-Aging Eye Serum, only to switch it out after just two nights because my eye area became dry and itchy.
