Astalift BB Cream SPF50+ PA++++

Here's another overdue review: I had this mini 5g tube of Astalift BB Cream SPF50+ PA++++ in Natural Beige since the fall of 2018 when I bought the Flarosso Intenso Eyeshadows.

Astalift Cleansing Oil Part II

More than half way through this 120mL bottle of Astalift Cleansing Oil so here's a quick post for it.

Astalift Cleansing Gel Part II

I'd been looking forward to using a full size ever since I tried a mini 12g tube of this Astalift Cleansing Gel. However, when it was the 120g tube's turn, crappy and leaky bottles and jars forcibly jumped queue, starting with the The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil last December. Here it is almost a year later and I finally got to use what I've been wanting to use. I'm already more than half way through the tube and will get to the Cleansing Oil version next.

Astalift Flarosso Intenso Eyeshadow

Back in the spring, Astalift released a line of color makeup called Flarosso. I didn't like the flamingo theme and thought the packaging was rather big and bulky. But these Intenso Eyeshadows were quite eye-catching and I ended up with three out of five palettes: GR01, PK01, and VI01. I skipped BR01 and OR01 because the former looked boring and the latter was too red for my taste.

Astalift Cleansing Gel

Almost done with this tiny 12g tube of Astalift Cleansing Gel from the Jelly Aquarysta Gift Set I bought way back then. Along with the Complete Makeup Remover Oil, I can't believe it took me this long to try them both--they're really quite good!

Astalift Complete Makeup Remover Oil

Nowadays, I don't even have time to wear waterproof sunscreen milks anymore as they take a few minutes to dry. Instead, I just slap on the easy-on-easy-off stuff hubby uses like Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel and Essence before rushing out the door with baby. Melty sunscreen be damned (because I have dry combo skin versus hubby's normal skin). Cue future guilt trip line, "Did you know mama temporarily gave up waterproof sunscreen for you?!"

Anyhoo, this means opportunities to use cleansing oils are also far and few in between. Case in point: it took me almost 2 months to finish two 20mL bottles of Sofina Makeup Cleansing Oil. Bleh. Now I'm onto a 30mL/1fl. oz. bottle of Astalift Complete Makeup Remover Oil, which I hope to use up soon.

Astalift Moisture Foam

Finally trying out this 12g tube of Astalift Moisture Foam from the Jelly Aquarysta Gift Set I bought long ago.

Astalift Essence Destiny

This Astalift Essence Destiny is the newer incarnation of the Essence, and I have 2 tiny 5mL bottle with dropper cap, each from the Hari Skin Trial Kit and Jelly Aquarysta Gift Set, for a total of 10mL. Yes, that also make them 2 years old and I'm finally getting to them now. Sigh.

Astalift Lotion Part II

Finally finally got around to using the "newer" Astalift Lotion and the quotation marks is for the fact that I bought these trial kits in 2013, so technically they're not "new" but are in fact 2 years old :( 

I have 3 of these trial sizes in 20mL bottles for a total of 60mL, versus the older 30mL bottles with orange twist-caps. I got them from 3 separate sets: the Hari Skin Trial Kit, the Moisture Trial Kit, and the Jelly Aquarysta Gift Set. Each bottle lasts me 2+ weeks with nightly and occasional day use, depending on need.

Astalift Regenerating Night Cream

Through various promotions and whatnot, I have two 15g jars of this Astalift Regenerating Night Cream, one of which I've been using for the past month. I don't remember where I got the second jar from, but the first jar was from the Discovery Collection, which also included Astalift's star product the Jelly Aquarysta (a great item but after many a jars I got bored and quit :P), the Day Cream which is called Replenishing Day Cream in English, and the Nurturing Eye Cream.

Astalift Nurturing Eye Cream

I have 2 of these 7g deluxe trial tube of Astalift Nurturing Eye Cream, one from the Discovery Collection and the other from the Radiance Boosting Trio below. I have been using one tube for the past month and it's about time I review it. From both of these sets I've already reviewed the Day Cream and, of course, the Jelly Aquarysta. I just used up the last of my Jelly Aquarysta last month and have decided to take a break, trying out a different serum from Patricia Wexler MD (will review later).

Astalift [Day] Cream

This tiny 5g jar of Astalift [Day] Cream is lasting me for freakin' ever! It came with the 2012 Deluxe Trial Set I bought from Rakuten JP, and after two months of daily use I still have half a jar left to go! If I sound impatient, that's because I am :X

This is a milky orangey cream scented with the same Astalift signature mild rose fragrance. Astalift Japan calls this product simply Cream and I was only able to figure out that it's a day cream because they also have a separate night cream, which they call, well, Night Cream. Astalift UK labels it a bit more clearly, distinguishing it as Replenishing Day Cream versus the Regenerating Night Cream. I am not sure if the UK version is formulated any differently than the Japanese version. 

Astalift Lotion

Almost forgot to post this! It's been sitting in my draft folder for a few weeks now. Ooops.

Finished two 30mL travel sized bottles of Astalift Lotion a couple of weeks ago during my trial of the Astalift skincare line. Those two bottles were from the 2012 Astalift trial Moisture Kit (top two pictures) and the Deluxe Trial Kit 2012 (bottom two) I bought from Rakuten JP.
