Been using this 150mL/5fl. oz. bottle of Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence (now known as Kombucha Antioxidant Facial Treatment Essence, without the "Black Tea" part) as part of my morning routine for a few months now and really like it. This was among the goodies from a very generous care package that Caty sent me a couple of years ago (thank you again, Caty!), but it took me this long to finally get to it.

Mama Butter Face Lotion
Folks, I present to you the emulsion that started my craze for emulsions: this 200mL bottle of Mama Butter Face Lotion Yuzu. This lotion was part of the Mama Butter x Disney collection with LE packaging, and all items are scented with yuzu, totally my jam (like, literally).

By Terry Baume de Rose Lip Care
I had 2 of these deluxe 2.3g/0.08oz. sample tubes of By Terry Baume de Rose Lip Care and gave one away to Julia because I know she loves roses. With the tube I kept, I was using it as overnight lip treatment until hubby started to complain that the rose scent was too strong ^.^"

Klorane Floral Water Make-up Remover
For months I've been using this 400mL/13.5fl. oz. bottle of Klorane Floral Water Make-up Remover interchangeably with several other bottles of cleansing water. Just recently I got to about 1/3 of the way through so I guess a post is in order.

Nivea Rich Care & Color Lip Cream SPF20 PA++ Part II
I love Nivea Rich Care & Color Lip Cream so much the Smokey Rose lives in my gym bag. And of course I went back for the other "colors": Bordeaux, French Pink, Glossy Beige, Raspberry Pink, and Sheer Red. There's also a Coral Red that's newer on the scene and I think have that one somewhere. I'm just very, extremely behind on everything so I might not get to it for a while.

Utena Yuzu Hair Oil Mist
I finished the bottle of La Granature Hair Oil Mist and was eager to try this 160mL refill pouch of Utena Yuzu Hair Oil Mist so I poured it into the empty spray bottle for Yanagiya Anzu Oil Hair Toning Lotion because the La Granature bottle wasn't big enough.

Lux Luminique Moist Charge Non-Silicone Shampoo and Rich & Gentle Treatment
Got this Lux Luminique Moist Charge Non-Silicone Shampoo and Rich & Gentle Treatment set via Amazon Japan two years ago. Almost finished using the shampoo but is only half way through the conditioner, because hubby uses the shampoo with me but doesn't touch the conditioner, the very reason I have several half-used bottles of conditioner scattered around the bathroom. Boo. Hiss.
