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.
These Paul & Joe Liquid Rouge were released in the spring of 2021 with 2 types: a Shine Type in 8 colors that are pigmented with a glossy finish, and a Tint Type in 3 colors that are sheer and also with a glossy finish. I was starting to use more lip glosses around this time and picked the latter Tint Type in 01 Cocktail Cherry, 02 Tutu Ballerina, and 03 L’Heure du The.
After the success of Le Rouge Perfecto (released 2016), in 2019 Givenchy released these Le Rose Perfecto that were supposed to lip balms, versus Le Rouge Perfecto's sheer lipsticks. Of course I was curious. Seeing that they have several different reds, I picked up 4 colors to try: 301 Soothing Red, 302 Solar Red, 303 Warming Red, and 304 Cosmic Plum.

I first read about these Glossier Generation G Sheer Matte Lipsticks from Citrine way back in 2020. She first reviewed Cake, then Zip, and finally Crush. Later that year, I caved and picked up Jam and Zip, and have been wearing them off and on since.
Back in the spring of 2021, I was browsing Harrods UK looking for a Suqqu lippie that was sold out at Selfridges UK and found these Givenchy Le Rouge Perfecto on sale instead ^.^ These were retailing for $37 at the time (now $39-49, depends on the source) but Harrods had marked them down to $18-26, so I happily picked up one of each color they had in stock: a Givenchy Le Rouge Perfecto Trio with 01 Perfect Pink, 03 Sparkling Pink, and 04 Blue Pink, another 01 Perfect Pink in LE packaging, 02 Intense Pink, and a LE 05 Spirited.
Emboldened by my experience with the luxurious Gucci Baume a Levres Lip Balm, I picked up these Giorgio Armani Ecstasy Balms in the spring of 2022. If I remember correctly, there were only 3 "colors" and I got all 3: 1 Soft Nude/Light Pink, 2 Neo Nude/Deep Pink, and 3 Deep Nude/Plum. The name/name is odd, I know. That's because GA's website and the product packaging don't quite agree on what the actual color names are. The packaging says 1 Soft Nude but the website says 1 Light Pink. Go figure.
Also, these balms were released in 2018, so by the time of my purchase, they aren't new and have been on the market for a few years. In the years since, they have been discontinued as well.
Finished with this 130mL/4.2oz. tube of Cle de Peau Beaute Cleansing Cream Oil a couple of weeks ago so post this now before it gets buried in my draft folder.
