So far, Yves Saint Laurent lippies have been hit-and-miss for me, although admittedly I have only tried a few. The Volupte Plump-in-Colour Plumping Lip Balms didn't leave much of an impression, but I liked The Slim Sheer Mattes enough to go back for more colors. So when I kept seeing chatters about these Rouge Volupte Shine, I was game to try some. Thanks to Selfridges UK for their enabling promotions, I picked up Collector 76 Golden--Red in the Dark and Collector 80 Golden--Chili Tunique, both LE items, and 83 Rouge Cape, 85 Burgundy Love, 87 Rose Afrique, 129 Carmine Retro, and 131 Chili Morocco from the permanent line-up at the time. I have not gone back for more of these so I don't know if anything has changed since my last purchase.

DHC By the Sea Mineral Cream
Finished this 50g/1.7oz. jar of DHC By the Sea Mineral Cream a few weeks ago. This was a pretty straightforward cream so it'll be a short post.

Yves Saint Laurent The Slim Sheer Matte Part II
Yep, I went right back for more of these Yves Saint Laurent The Slim Sheer Mattes, this time picking up 103 Orange Provocant, 110 Berry Exposed, and 112 Raw Rosewood, among other things. Accidentally purchased an extra 111 Corail Explicite too but am happy to have a backup of the color.

Tsubakido Moisture Cream
Almost finished with the last of these four Tsubakido Moisture Creams so I guess it's time to post this review for them. Like Kyobian, Tsubakido is a toiletry brand under Kyoto Kurochiku and they make face creams, hand creams, body creams, etc. Anyway, there are four different varieties of this Moisture Cream, 30g each in a cute and functional jar: EGF & Silk, Ceramide & Pearl, Arbutin & Uji Matcha, and Shea Butter & Yuzu and I've used all four.
