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.

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.

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!

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).
