Paul & Joe Lip Treatment Balm Part III

Without fail, these Paul & Joe Lip Treatment Balm has been my nightly lip mask for the past 5 years. Since I first tried the LE Treatment Balm L 004 Vin Chaud way back in the fall of 2020, not once did I waiver, not having even the slightest curiosity about any other lip balm, whether I'd find another that would be thick enough to use as an overnight lip mask, and not once was I bored and wanted to try something new. These are so good I will happily buy any and every limited edition or new flavor. As you'll see below, I didn't love every one of them, but you bet I'll at least try it.

Below are 3 different balms I've tried over the past 5 years: Treatment Balm L 005 Stollen,  Treatment Balm D 002--a LE from the Paul & Joe x Doraemon 50th Anniversary Christmas 2020 collection, and Lip Treatment Balm Limited 004 from the Makeup Collection 2021 Day 20.

Paul & Joe Cleansing Gel

Tried this tiny 10g tube of Paul & Joe Cleansing Gel a while back so here's a short post. This tube was old, from the Makeup Collection 2021 Day 15. I actually have another tube too, from the Makeup Collection 2022, because I didn't learn my lesson and kept buying these advent calendars even knowing it'd take me years to get to it.

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Serum

Just finished a second 30mL/1fl. oz. pump bottle of Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Serum so here's a quick post before it gets buried deeper down my draft folder. 

Jouer Essential Hydrating Lip Oil

Bought this 4.8mL/0.16fl. oz. bottle of Jouer Essential Hydrating Lip Oil a few years ago and had it in my bag for nearly as long, so this post is long overdue.

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Cream

Made it through 3/4 of this 15mL/0.5oz. jar of Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Cream. The jar was from a Jurlique Herbal Recovery Set I bought last year, and with that purchase I also got a gift that includes another 5mL/0.17oz. tube of the same eye cream.

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Moisturizing Lotion

I'm on the second 50mL/1.7fl. pump bottle of this Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Moisturizing Lotion now. They call it a lotion which makes it sounds like it can be used alone as a moisturizer, and it could work as a standalone moisturizer if you have normal skin. Not so for my dry-combo skin, and I've been using it like a milk/emulsion which I layer on after toner, the Signature Mist in the same Herbal Recovery line (just finished my third bottle of that as well!),

 

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Purifying Toner

Nearly done with this 200mL/6.7fl. oz. bottle of Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Purifying Toner. I've actually been using this off and on over the past two years and not consistently, because, well, you'll see below.

Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel

Hubby's been working on this giant 180g tub of Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel for a looong time. He likes all-in-one products, and this fits the bill, being a gel that can be used in place of an emulsion/milk, serum/essence, moisturizer, mask, and even body lotion. That's probably why it's in such a big tub.
