Been using this 40mL/1.3fl. oz. tube of Avene Cicalfate Restorative Protective Cream as hand cream when it's really meant for the face. The reason being that it came out of the box with a strange watery sound when shaken. I thought I was sent an expired product and checked the expiration date, but nope, still fresh. The tube itself still had the manufacturer's seal at the opening.

Mama Butter Organic Shea Butter Face & Body Cream
Last summer, I needed a face cream for my morning routine and opened up this 25g pot of Mama Butter Organic Shea Butter Face & Body Cream. It was part of the LE Mama Butter x Disney collection with Mickey and Minnie Mouse on the packaging, and all had Yuzu fragrance which I'm partial to.

Erno Laszlo Bamboo Reusuable Toner Pads
It's been a year since I started using these Erno Laszlo Bamboo Reusuable Toner Pads so this post is overdue. I first got a set of 10 pads from the Iconic Skin Set and liked them so much I went back for another set of 10.

Amore Pacific The Essential Cream Fluid
About half way through this 90mL/3fl. oz. pump bottle of Amore Pacific The Essential Cream Fluid. Actually, I'm not entirely sure of much of it I've got left because the bottle is totally opaque, which is a small annoyance to an otherwise a great product!

Sephora Cleansing Oil-in-Balm
Using this 90mL/3.04fl. oz. jar of Sephora Cleansing Oil-in-Balm right now and really liking it so far. I actually bought several jars way back in 2018--they were polyethylene-free and on sale for $5/each at Sephora, so I couldn't resist. I kept 2 jars for myself and gifted the rest away.

Cle de Peau Beaute The Cream
Hopefully this is the last forgotten post from the draft folder. I finished this 5mL/0.18oz. jar of Cle de Peau Beaute The Cream a couple of months ago. It was from AM to PM Hydration Essentials gift set and I had used it up in conjunction with other CDP items like the Hydro-Softening Lotion, The Serum, and the Concentrated Brightening Serum.
