FANCL Sunguard 50+ Protect UV SPF50+ PA++++

I was looking forward to using this 60mL bottle of FANCL Sunguard 50+ Protect UV SPF50+ PA++++, that was, until I actually used it.  

Let me temper your expectation: this is probably one of the worst, if not the worst Japanese sunscreen I've ever tried in all of my 15+ years of religious daily application of Japanese sunscreens.

N3 Beauty Shea Butter Vitamin E Nourishing Shower Gel

This is a giant 1L/33.8fl. oz. pump bottle of N3 Beauty Shea Butter Vitamin E Nourishing Shower Gel that I bought while hubby and I struggled with our master-bath remodeling that started late last year.

Clinique Moisture Surge Intense Part II

Here's something I bought specifically for hubby but ended up using it myself: this 50mL/1.7oz. jar of Clinique Moisture Surge Intense. 

Hubby was a fan of and had finished many a jar of the original Moisture Surge. A long time ago I did get a sample jar of this Intense version for the both of us to try, but he didn't like it and I liked it ok but it didn't layer well under my sunscreen. So fast forward 8 years and I thought we'd revisit this product because either the product or our skin might have changed.

Nivea Sun Creme Care UV Cream SPF50+ PA++++

I bought a 50g tube of this Nivea Sun Creme Care UV Cream SPF50+ PA++++ a couple of years ago and didn't get around to using it until now, but of course it's been discontinued in the meantime. Ha. 

The reason I took so long to try this out? Because it's *not* sweat and water resistant. Usually, it's hubby who prefers the easy-on-easy-off variety: he has normal skin that isn't oily, he doesn't sweat much, and he can't be bothered to remove any sunscreen properly with a cleansing oil or balm, let alone using a follow up cleanser after that. Ever since I introduced him to Biore UV Watery Rich Essence in 2012 and the Gel version in 2015, he's been sticking with these two through their many repackaging and reformulation and wouldn't try anything else. As for me, I'm definitely bias towards the water and sweat resistant sunscreens because otherwise they'd melt right off of my oily t-zones and lids. So even though I'd get curious about and buy the easy-on-easy-off stuff, I end up dragging my feet in trying them.

Kiehl's Body Fuel All-In-One Energizing Wash

Starting last winter through the first half of this year, hubby and I lost use of our master bathroom (and eventually, our master bedroom as well) for a painful remodeling project that just dragged on and on and on. During that time, we invaded our boys' bathroom, and so I tried to minimize our imposition on what little space they have with as many multi-purpose toiletries as I could gather from my stash.

Among the stand-outs was this gigantic 1L/33.8fl. oz. pump bottle of Kiehl's Body Fuel All-In-One Energizing Wash which we made do with for a few months before we regaining the use of our own bathroom.

PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum

Received two freebie 7g/0.25oz tubes of PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum with two different Erno Laszlo orders.  

Darphin Intral Air Mousse Cleanser

Oops finished this 125mL/4.2fl oz. pump bottle of Darphin Intral Air Mousse Cleanser a few days ago so here's a post for it.  

Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Instant Firming Serum

Had a few of these tiny 1.5mL/0.05fl. oz. tubes of Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Instant Firming Serum from a few different orders so I put them all into a little jar and used them up over the course of a few weeks.

Sulwhasoo Snowise Brightening Serum

It took longer than expected but over the course of a two months I finished with two of these 8mL/0.27fl. oz. tiny pump bottles of Sulwhasoo Snowise Brightening Serum. 

Decorte 24/7 Eye Cream

Just finished this tiny 1.9mL/0.07oz. tube of Decorte 24/7 Eye Cream as well. I'd been using it in the morning, as part of my daytime routine.

Thann Facial Cleanser

Last of the Thann skincare item I'm using is this 200g/7.05oz. pump bottle of the Facial Cleanser. This was also part of the Age Inversion Daily Regime Gift Set that included a Toner, Serum, and Cream.

Thann Facial Serum

This 30mL/1.05fl. oz. pump bottle of Thann Facial Serum is lasting much longer than expected even though I'm taking two pumps per use every morning. It was part of the Age Inversion Daily Regime Gift Set that included a Cleanser, Toner, and Cream as well.

Thann Astringent Toner

I'm 2/3 of the way through this 135mL/4.56fl. oz. bottle of Thann Astringent Toner. It was part of the Age Inversion Daily Regime Gift Set that included a Cleanser, Serum, and Cream as well.

Thann Hydrating Emulsion

I took a double-take the first time I saw this Thann Hydrating Emulsion--it's 100g/3.5oz of product stored in a flat and round glass jar. It was the first time ever that I've seen an emulsion in a jar instead of a pump bottle or a tube and it was pretty weird ^.^
