Boscia Sake Cleansing Water

Although this 150mL/5.07fl. oz. bottle of Boscia Sake Cleansing Water is a recent addition to my basket of cleansing waters, which also housed Laneige Vitamin Brightening Cleansing Water, Neogen Dermalogy Real Flower Cleansing Water, Caudalie Cleansing Water, Avene Micellar Lotion, and Sephora Micellar Cleansing Water (will post both soon) ^.^

Biore UV Mild Care Milk SPF30 PA++

Since the beginning of June, my little one's school has been hosting a weekly Splash Day when all the kiddos come to school already in swim gears and get to splish-splash to their heart's content. Usually, for daily use I go for the easy-on-easy-off stuff, Nivea Sun Protect Water Gel for Kids, and the school requires sunscreen application prior to arrival regardless (they reapply in the afternoon too, using the All Good Kid's Sunscreen Spray SPF30, will post later). However, outdoor water play on a clear and sunny day is a whole different game, one that calls for a sunscreen that's *not* easy-off.

Enters this 120mL bottle of Biore UV Mild Care Milk SPF30 PA++, a sunscreen for kids in a more tenacious milk formula. Funny enough, I bought two each of this Mild Care Milk and a stronger Kids Milk SPF50+ PA++++, the latter of which I'm saving for longer play dates at the outdoor pool (will post later). Somehow, I was sent one each of the old and new packaging for both sunscreens xD Actually, for the Kids Milk, the bottle with the red apple was a 2018 limited edition with apple fragrance.

Clarins Men Shampoo & Shower

Just one use left of this 30mL/1.06oz. tube of Clarins Men Shampoo & Shower so here's a quick post for it.

L'Occitane Shea Butter Gentle Toner

Almost done with this 30mL/1fl. oz. spray bottle of L'Occitane Shea Butter Gentle Toner so here's a quick post for it. This was from the Shea Butter Comforting Set I got as GWP while back.

Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Cooling Gel

From various purchases, I got several of these 5mL/0.1oz tubes of Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Cooling Gel so I put them all into a glass jar for hubby to use. He's almost done with the jar so here's a quick post for it.

Lunasol Airy Glow Lips

Last fall, before the giant box of goodies, Caty and I had another smaller swap in which I received two Lunasol Airy Glow Lips from her, in the colors 03 Macaron Coral (CO) and EX03 Marron (BE).

These were a brand new release in the spring of 2018 as part of the Macaron Collection. I skipped that collection entirely. There were too many pastels, and I can't really pull off any pastel to begin with. I love the colors, but they don't mesh well with my yellow skin tone. That doesn't mean I wasn't curious about the lipstick line.

Shikioriori Tsubaki Hair Essence Water

When I bought this 250mL spray bottle of Shikioriori Tsubaki Hair Essence Water, I just thought to try a new leave-in hair conditioner for my lazy nights, which is sadly most nights ^.^" I didn't expect to like it as much as I do.

A few months ago, I picked out this hair water and a few other new shampoo sets from Rakuten JP. Along with a bunch of other stuff like sunscreens, snacks, dried soups, etc., I had the store sent my big box via surface mail (funabin, aka ocean freight), which usually takes 2-3 months and almost always arrived a little beat up, because that was just how ocean freight rolled ^.^" You tape stuff up and you wrap them well if you don't want them arrived all banged up, because they will be.

Sisley Instant Eclat Instant Glow Primer

Within the giant goodie bags Caty sent me last winter (thank you, Caty!) was two of these 1.5mL packets of Sisley Instant Eclat Instant Glow Primer, which I happily squeezed into a glass jar to use every now and then when my complexion was especially ashy and lackluster.

Missha Time Revolution Brightening Care Oil Cleansing Balm

After Heimish All Clean Balm, this 105g jar of Missha Time Revolution Brightening Care Oil Cleansing Balm was another queue jumper--it too was leaking :( Grrr. I thought whole point of switching to cleansing balms and gels was to avoid the messy and leaky cleansing oils!
