MyKirei Soothing Peony Milky Lotion

Just finished the last of four 340mL/11.5fl. oz. refill pouches of MyKirei Soothing Peony Milky Lotion so here's a post for them, finally! Again, MyKirei was Kao's--in my opinion, half-baked--attempt at "eco" products marketed to the North American consumers. I assume it didn't go well, and they sure didn't try very hard I think, so the brand has now ceased production. Which is saying post is really for my own personal product diary.

MyKirei Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner

Almost done with this set of 300mL/10.1fl. oz. each of MyKirei Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner. This was Kao's attempt at being "eco" and marketing it to the North American consumer. Unfortunately, it wasn't successful and the brand MyKirei was discontinued.

Biore UV Aqua Rich Light Up Essence SPF50+ PA++++

Been using this Biore UV Aqua Rich Light Up Essence SPF50+ PA++++ (2021 version, now discontinued) off and on for months. No, not that a 70g tube would last me for months, but rather I don't use this sunscreen on a daily basis, and not by itself either.

Lunasol Seamless Matte Lips Part II

Picked up another two colors of Lunasol Seamless Matte Lips some time ago but didn't get around to playing with them until now: 10 Brick from the permanent lineup and a Shinjuku Isetan LE EX03 Dates Red.

Lunasol Merging Color Lip Blush

These Lunasol Merging Color Lip Blushes were LE released of winter 2020. There were five different colors of which I picked up three, EX01 Velour Red, EX02 Magnolia Mauve, and EX04 Brilliant Flame, skipping the bubblegum pink and the nude-beige.

RMK Refreshing Gel

Hubby's almost done with this 60g/2.1oz. jar of RMK Refreshing Gel so here's the post before it's forgotten in the draft folder again. It's too bad this product has been discontinued because it's actually pretty decent, at least by hubby's standard :)

Nivea Rich Care & Color Lip Cream SPF20 PA++ Part II

I love Nivea Rich Care & Color Lip Cream so much the Smokey Rose lives in my gym bag. And of course I went back for the other "colors": Bordeaux, French Pink, Glossy Beige, Raspberry Pink, and Sheer Red. There's also a Coral Red that's newer on the scene and I think have that one somewhere. I'm just very, extremely behind on everything so I might not get to it for a while.

Suqqu Enrich Foaming Wash

Been using this 125g/4.37oz. tube of Suqqu Enrich Foaming Wash for almost two months now and barely used up even a fourth of the tube!

Nivea Sun Creme Care UV Cream SPF50+ PA++++

I bought a 50g tube of this Nivea Sun Creme Care UV Cream SPF50+ PA++++ a couple of years ago and didn't get around to using it until now, but of course it's been discontinued in the meantime. Ha. 

The reason I took so long to try this out? Because it's *not* sweat and water resistant. Usually, it's hubby who prefers the easy-on-easy-off variety: he has normal skin that isn't oily, he doesn't sweat much, and he can't be bothered to remove any sunscreen properly with a cleansing oil or balm, let alone using a follow up cleanser after that. Ever since I introduced him to Biore UV Watery Rich Essence in 2012 and the Gel version in 2015, he's been sticking with these two through their many repackaging and reformulation and wouldn't try anything else. As for me, I'm definitely bias towards the water and sweat resistant sunscreens because otherwise they'd melt right off of my oily t-zones and lids. So even though I'd get curious about and buy the easy-on-easy-off stuff, I end up dragging my feet in trying them.

RMK Cleansing Balm

Just finished this 100g jar of RMK Cleansing Balm yesterday! Woot! There's also a Moist version that I'm saving for the winter so I'll review that one later. Either way, both of these balms have been discontinued and replaced with a new Cleansing Balm Refresh and Cleansing Balm Rich, which I'll admit I'm pretty tempted to try as well given how much I like this version.

RMK Eye Balm

This 12.5g/0.43oz. jar of RMK Eye Balm was among the several RMK items I purchased from Selfridges UK before they stopped carrying the brand. Since finishing Sulwhasoo TimeTreasure Renovating Eye Cream EX, I needed a more intense eye treatment for my nighttime routine and picked out this RMK jar as well as Grown Alchemist Hydra-Repair Eye Balm (will post next).
