By Terry Baume de Rose All-Over Oil Face Body Hair

More than half way through this 100mL/3.38fl. oz. spray bottle of By Terry Baume de Rose All-Over Oil Face Body Hair so here's a post for it. This is a multi-purpose oil for face, body, and hair, but I use it mainly as a body oil. Only once I'm done apply this all over my arms and legs, then I run my hands through my hair to use up whatever that's left.  

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm

Almost done with this 400mL/13.52fl. oz. pump bottle of La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm. This is a thicker version of the Lotion I used up a few years ago. 

In fact, it's a little too thick and too rich. Not only it takes a long time to absorb, it leaves my arms and legs rather sticky. So what did I do but diluted it with MyKirei Soothing Peony Milky Lotion (will post next) because the latter was too thin and nowhere as moisturizing as I needed it to be ^.^ 

 

I used one part Balm and two parts Milky Lotion, and the result was perfect! Just thin enough to not be sticky, but moisturizing enough to keep my skin comfortable. Even better since that this Balm is unscented and the Milky Lotion was lightly scented, I got a very lightly scented body lotion. Win-win!

Givenchy Hydra Sparkling Velvet Luminescence Moisturizing Cream

Half way through this 50mL/1.7oz. jar of Givenchy Hydra Sparkling Velvet Luminescence Moisturizing Cream. 

 

Suqqu Moisture Serum Cream

Almost done with this 30g/1.05oz. jar of Suqqu Moisture Serum Cream as well so here's a post for it before it gets buried in my draft folder again :(

Hakumai Kouji All in One Gel

Sheesh--it only took hubby almost a year to finish this giant 180g jar of Hakumai Kouji All in One Gel! 

Boscia Cactus Water Moisturizer

Hubby finished this big 47.59mL/1.61fl oz jar of Boscia Cactus Water Moisturizer a while ago so here's a post for it. Boscia has ceased production, so again this is solely for the purpose of my product diary. 

Cezanne Rich Moisture Skin Conditioner Milk

Quick post for this 280mL bottle of Cezanne Rich Moisture Skin Conditioner Milk that I used on my neck and decolletage area, and my belly too on occasions, immediately after my nightly shower. 

Suqqu Light Solution Fluid

I used this 125mL/4.25fl. oz. pump bottle of Suqqu Light Solution Fluid in conjunction with the Lotion and Essence (will post next). As with the Lotion, I really enjoyed this Fluid as well and was disappointed that this line was discontinued years ago. 

 

Maiko Cosme Hand & Body Cream

Maiko Cosme is another sub-brand of KyoMaiko, and I had zero expectation for this 70g jar of Hand & Body Cream Kinmokusei (kinmokusei, osmanthus, 桂花). Actually, worse than that. I was all ready to "demote" it the same way I did both the Maiko-san Sakura Cream and the Moisture Cream from the sister sub-brand Mamisango.

Why would I think this Maiko Cosme Hand & Body Cream would be any different? Over the decades, there have been facial skincare products that were so wonky, be it the formula or the texture or the scent, that I couldn't stand using them on my face. At the same time, they were fine and weren't expired or had gone bad or stale in any way, so I passed them on to family and friends. And when no one wanted to try them, and when throwing them out would be too wasteful (don't get me wrong: I have hated some things enough to have simply tossed them), that was when they got "demoted" to my hands, or worse, my feet. 

So imagine my shock: just when I thought that this hand and body cream(!) would end up being used for my feet, it got promoted to exclusive use on my face! Totally did not see that coming, did you?
