Bought along with Shiro Essence Lip Oil is this Essence Lip Butter in 9C01 which is a wacky way of saying there's really no color. This Lip Butter is recently made available via Shiro's USA only webstore, so it's available to those who are curious.

I've been curious about Shiro products for the longest time, and when I saw that they'd released an Essence Lip Oil with a Yuzu fragrance, I had to get my hands on it! I got mine from Japan when it was released all thanks to Julia's generous help, but a limited range of Shiro products is now available outside of Japan via their US website, including this Essence Lip Oil as well as the Essence Lip Butter (will post next). There's also a flagship store in NYC if you're in the area.

Oops, forgot to post this quick review for the tiny 9mL/0.3fl. oz. sample bottle of Decorte AQ Serum Absolute Firming Lift Contour Serum that I finished a couple of weeks ago. This was from the Decorte Supreme Collection GWP.
Been using this 40mL/1.3fl. oz. tube of Avene Hydrance Rich Hydrating Cream as part of my morning routine and like it a lot.
Here's something I rarely post about, if ever: women's shaving cream. But alas, there's got to be a first for everything, so here's a post for this 99.2g/3.5oz. tube of Marin Bee Honey Shave. I received this tube as part of a GWP for a Beauty Habit order a while back, and as with everything else it took me a while to get around to actually using it.
Here's another great sunscreen find for me in these recent months: this 40mL Nivea Men UV Protector SPF50+ PA++++. Yes, Nivea Men. I know there are reasons companies differentiate men and women's skincare products, but for me there's no difference. Sure, I'm not going to use hubby's facial grooming stuff because I don't have excess facial hair to groom, and sure, he's not going to touch my color makeup because he's not into painting his face, but other than that it's all fair game to us both.
This giant 800mL/27.1fl. oz. pump bottle of Johnson's Bedtime Lotion is the fourth bottle I'm using on myself when it's meant for my boys. The last three were Baby Lotion, Head-to-Toe Lotion, CottonTouch Newborn Face & Body Lotion, and all were too perfumy and not moisturizing for their dry and eczema-prone skin.
This Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer in 01 Nude Pop was part of a GWP from Nordstrom. I'd passed it on to mum-in-law but got her permission to photograph and swatch it for the blog.

I'm already half way through this 30mL/1fl. oz. dropper bottle of Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution so here's a quick post for it. This bottle was from Turn Up The Brightness Duo I bought last year.
Almost done with this tiny 8mL/0.27fl. oz. sample bottle of Decorte Vi-Fusion Essence Micro-Treatment Fluid Serum so here's a short review.
