By Terry Hyaluronic Global Face Cream

Found another post buried pretty far down in the draft folder: I finished this 5mL/0.16fl. oz. tube of By Terry Hyaluronic Global Face Cream several months ago before the fall. 

This was not a cream but a gel cream. It went on pretty light but was decently moisturizing and layered well under sunscreen, great for the summer but definitely won't do at all for the winter. There was a mild scent that I totally stopped noticing after a while. Will not purchase full size.

RMK Refreshing Gel

Hubby's almost done with this 60g/2.1oz. jar of RMK Refreshing Gel so here's the post before it's forgotten in the draft folder again. It's too bad this product has been discontinued because it's actually pretty decent, at least by hubby's standard :)

Yves Saint Laurent Top Secrets Universal Makeup Remover Melting Balm-in-Oil

Did some damages at YSL online store during the Black Friday sale and, among other things, picked up this 125mL/4.2fl. oz.jar of Top Secrets Universal Makeup Remover Melting Balm-in-Oil (oof, what a mouthful!). I wasn't going to use this cleansing balm just yet but it jumped the queue having arrived leaking and oily. After cleaning up the mess, I realized it wasn't because of the rough transit or the faulty packaging but rather because the cleansing balm itself was so melty.

Etude House Real Art Cleansing Oil

Oops. Finished both of these 185mL/6.25fl. oz. pump bottles of Etude House Real Art Cleansing Oil a few weeks ago but forgot this post in the draft folder. There are two versions available, Moisture and Perfect, and I used both.

Cle de Peau Beaute Concentrated Brightening Serum

Woops. Finished this mini 6mL/0.2fl. oz. glass bottle of Cle de Peau Beaute Concentrated Brightening Serum a few days ago but forgot this post in the draft folder. This bottle was part of a super generous care package from Caty a couple of years ago that I finally got around to using (thank you again, Caty!).

Canmake Stay-On Balm Rouge SPF11 Part VI + Tint Type

It's been a while and I've long fallen behind on these Canmake Stay-On Balm Rouge T.T Canmake's website shows they're up to color #20 Cotton Peony and here I am still on 15 Elegant Dahlia16 Earl Gray Leaf17 Mellow Blossom, and Tint Type T05 Sweety Poppy. I've been pretty picky about which to buy and keep too, because there have been lots of nudes and browns these past couple of years.

Three Lip Conscious Protector SPF35 PA+++

This Three Lip Conscious Protector SPF35 PA+++ has been around since 2015. I take the longevity to mean it's special somehow and so I picked one up to try along with the two Lush Pellucid Lipsticks.

Three Lush Pellucid Lipstick

These Three Lush Pellucid Lipstick were limited edition releases in the summer of 2019 and made quite a splash with lots of promotion and marketing. There were three colors available, but I skipped X01 Rainbow Warrior because it was a bright pink, and only got X02 Sunkissable and X03 Flower of Romance. Good thing too I jumped on them too, because X02 sold out in a flash and has been super elusive since.

Osaji Nuance Lip Balm

I came across the brand Osaji on Instagram via various Japanese magazines. Among Osaji's offerings, these Nuance Lip Balms caught my eyes and I picked up all three available colors at the time: 01 花束 Hanataba, 02 Curve, and 03 宝箱 Takarabako.

Etvos Mineral Sheer Rouge Part III

I've had these three Etvos Mineral Sheer Rouge for the past couple of years and even took pictures and swatches of them and everything, only to let those pictures pickle until now ^.^" British Brown was released Fall 2019, and Cassis Sangria and Orange Pekoe were from the 2020 Spring collection. Since then, they haven't released any new colors and have discontinued all but 4 colors for the permanent lineup, which makes me think they'll do away with the line soon. I hope they won't, because I love these lippies :(
