L'Occitane Ruban d'Orange Sunny Shower

Next up is the 30mL/1fl oz. bottle of L'Occitane Ruban d'Orange Sunny Shower, also from the same French Travel Treasures Set. It is to be paired with the Ruban d'Orange Soft Skin Milk, which I gave away to mum in law long ago.

Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet

Another recent love of mine is this Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet (formerly Vinosource Quenching Sorbet-Cream - I like the new name better...). I first got a tiny 3mL/0.1fl oz. sample tube, loved it, got another 10mL/0.33fl oz. tube from the Caudalie Beauty Essentials from the Vine set, haven't had enough and graduated to the 40mL/1.3fl oz. full size. That's some serious affection right there since I'm usually itching to move on from just the first sample!

The Caudalie Beauty Essentials from the Vine set also includes 50mL Cleansing Water, which I didn't like at all, 10mL Vinoperfect Radiance Serum, which I found it to be too moisturizing and too strongly scented for use on the face, and 7mL Pulpe Vitaminee Eye and Lip Cream, which has become a go-to favorite of mine.

L'Occitance Bonne Mere Gentle Cream

I think it's about time to declare some love for this L'Occitance Bonne Mere Gentle Cream Milk ^.^ It all started with the Gentle Body Wash Milk. Even though the scent may be strong for some people, hubby and I like it so much I couldn't wait to try out the cream. I figured since this is an all-purpose cream, if I don't like it on my face, I can always use it on my neck, hands, feet, or just slather it all over myself LOL!

But still I was cautious, buying several 15mL/0.5oz. travel size tubes from Ebay to try first. Turns out this is one of the most gentle all-purpose creams I've ever tried and I fell pretty hard for it upon the first use xD I gave hubby a tube and my mum a tube to try and they too love it! Time to get the full size, pronto!

The Bonne Mere Gentle Cream Milk full size 75mL/2.6oz tube comes with a pretty neat twist cap dispenser that's sealed with a clear sticker for freshness. After this sticker is removed, you just twist the cap to open, squeeze to dispense, and twist again to close. The cap does not come off at all, so there's no worries about dropping it, etc.

Elixir Superieur Lifting Moisture Emulsion

This 8mL Elixir Superieur Lifting Moisture Emulsion Type II Moisturizing is taking me longer to finish than the 8mL Lifting Moisture Lotion! It is an emulsion, a light moisturizer to be layered underneath a milk or thicker cream if your skin needs the extra boost of moisture.

It came from the same Travel Kit, which also includes 8g Makeup Cleansing Gel N, 8g Cleansing Foam N Type II Moisturizing, Lifting Moisture Lotion Type II Moisturizing.

Elixir Superieur Lifting Moisture Lotion

Just a quick review for the 8mL travel size Elixir Superieur Lifting Moisture Lotion Type II Moisturizing here. This is from the Elixir Superieur Travel Kit I picked up during my few days in Nagoya.

The Elixir Superieur Travel Kit includes 8g Makeup Cleansing Gel N, 8g Cleansing Foam N Type II Moisturizing, this Lifting Moisture Lotion Type II Moisturizing, and 8mL Lifting Moisture Emulsion Type II Moisturizing, which I will review next.

Astalift Jelly Aquarysta (Picture heavy!)

Urgh, okay, I can't put off this post any longer. Sorry to have been procrastinating, but here goes...

Been using this Astalift Jelly Aquarysta for a few months now, and I don't want to admit it but I'll be sticking with it, in combination with SK-II Facial Treatment Essence and Facial Treatment Clear Lotion, for a long time. You can call it whatever you want, but I hate the term "HG" because it implies I won't or can't get sick of the product, which is just not true. I get bored very easily, of anything and everything, including living environment, which explains why I've been moving about for the past decade (kind of sick of moving now too, actually, what to do? -.-'). That said, the 3 said products makes a hell of a skincare combo. Read on for my lengthy discovery and trial (and denial, ha...).

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what this jelly is, exactly ^.^' I first read about it last summer from Rouge Deluxe, who was following Yumeko's weekly photo challenge. They got me curious enough about the Astalift brand to pick up the Moisture Kit from Astalift Japan as well as the Deluxe Trial Kit from Rakuten JP.

L'Occitane Immortelle Essential Water

Been using this travel sized 30mL/1fl. oz. spray bottle of L'Occitane Immortelle Essential Water as toner/pre-moisturizer on my neck and décolletage (why not?). I have two bottles, both were freebies from GWPs Divine Secret Collection below and Brighten Up Collection. Will probably give the second bottle to mum as I'm ready to move on.

See below screencap for content details of the Divine Secret Collection.

L'Occitane Bonne Mere Gentle Body Wash

After the Green Tea Shower Gel let down, and I was pretty wary and was frankly hesitant of trying more of the L'Occitane stack I had just bought. I go through phases like that, and then I quickly got bored of the travel sized body washes (there are about a dozen) in my shower and added this Bonne Mere Gentle Body Wash to the lineup. 

L'Occitane Marvelous Flowers Voyage Kit

Bought this L'Occitane Marvelous Flowers Voyage Kit for my mum on mother's day, and with her permission I opened it up for a few pictures ^.^ My mum loves it, but again these were too strongly scented for me. Just taking pictures of them were enough to make me never want to use them LOL!

The kit includes a 75mL/2.5fl oz. Shower Gel, 30mL/1oz. Hand Cream, and 50g/1.7oz. Perfumed Soap.

L'Occitane Cherry Princess Silky Body Gel

Like the L'Occitane Cherry Princess Pearlescent Shower Cream, the Silky Body Gel is also very strongly scented - the parfum/fragrance is pretty high up in the list of ingredients!

The Cherry Princess Romantic Escape Gift Set includes 75mL/2.5fl oz. each of the said Pearlescent Shower Cream, this Silky Body Gel, 30mL/1oz. Hand Cream, and 10g/0.3oz. Solid Perfume which I gave to my mum.
