La Mer Moisturizing Soft Cream

Within the massive swap package Caty sent me last winter (thank you, Caty!) were several La Mer products, namely the original Creme de la Mer Moisturizing Cream and thinner versions of it. Since I already tried the original cream and found it too thick, I was actually excited to try the 3.5mL/0.12oz. jar of the Moisturizing Soft Cream. In fact, in addition to this jar I also got four 1.5mL/0.05oz. packets from various purchases at Nordstrom, so together they've been lasting me for 2+ weeks now with nightly use (L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream was switched to mornings). 

Astalift Cleansing Gel Part II

I'd been looking forward to using a full size ever since I tried a mini 12g tube of this Astalift Cleansing Gel. However, when it was the 120g tube's turn, crappy and leaky bottles and jars forcibly jumped queue, starting with the The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil last December. Here it is almost a year later and I finally got to use what I've been wanting to use. I'm already more than half way through the tube and will get to the Cleansing Oil version next.

Sisley Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream

From a generous swap package from a reader, Caty (thank you, Caty!), I received two 4mL/0.13fl. oz. packet and tube of Sisley Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream. I just finished both as of yesterday, as each lasted me for a couple of weeks!

Caudalie VinoPerfect Radiance Serum Part II

After Caudalie Premier Cru The Serum, I revisited the VinoPerfect Radiance Serum with this tiny 2mL/0.06fl. oz. tube, some 6 years after trying a 10mL deluxe travel size bottle. The tiny sample lasted me all of three days ^.^

 The serum still had the signature crushed dandelion scent as many other Caudalie products (with the exception of the Premier Cru line). Still runny and milky coming out of the tube too. For a moment I regretted not using this sooner, perhaps before the Premier Crue serum above, because it was actually more moisturizing despite being thinner. Anyway, having lasted me for only 3 days I didn't see the brightening results I saw with the 10mL bottle. Will have to buy a full size now, just for science.

 

See my previous Caudalie VinoPerfect Radiance Serum post. 

Caudalie Premier Cru The Serum

I had seven 1mL/0.03fl. oz. packets of Caudalie Premier Cru The Serum so I emptied them all into a glass jar and used that as part of my morning routine. I finished them a while ago so here's a quick post with notes I took along the way.

Boscia Tsubaki Oil-Infused Exfoliating Powder

Don't ask why I bought two of these 60g/2.11oz. bottles of Boscia Tsubaki Oil-Infused Exfoliating Powder, only to drag my feet when it comes to actually using them =.=

HABA Revitalizing Moisture Lotion

I had five 7mL packets of this HABA Revitalizing Moisture Lotion which I poured into a glass bottle and have been using for the past few weeks. Now that I'm almost done with it, here's a quick post.

These packets were from a Revitalizing Moisture Serum Set I bought last year, which included a full size 30mL said serum, these five packets of lotion, a Squalane Oil Mask, a 55g Hokkaido [salmon] Placenta Enriched Soap, and a 4mL trial bottle of Squalane II, with a cute bamboo bookmark and fan thrown in for nice measures.

Maihada Katsujun Hand Cream

As of couple of weeks ago, I'd replaced my emptied Jurlique Hand Cream Rose with this 60g Maihada Katsujun Hand Cream on my night stand. The emptied Jurlique Citrus tube in the kitchen was also replaced with a full size 75mL/2.5fl. oz. Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream in the original scent.

L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream

Through two different purchases I ended up with two 4mL/0.14oz. jars of L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream which I've been using at night for the past couple of weeks.

The first jar was from the Anti-Aging Skincare Gift.

The second jar was from a Glowing Beauty GWP.

Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream Part II

Urgh. I can't believe September is almost over :(

Anyway, over the summer, I used up 3 more tubes of Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream in Mandarin Leaf, Grapefruit Leaf, and Neroli so here's a post for them.

The Mandarin Leaf and Grapefruit Leaf were from a Precious Hand Trio along with Lime Leaf that I reviewed back in May, which I picked up during a sale. Clarins also sold them separately, so I picked up duplicates for gifting.
