L'Occitane Karite Bebe Lovely & Gentle Moisturizing Milk

Half way through this 300mL/10.1fl. oz. pump bottle of L'Occitane Karite Bebe Lovely & Gentle Moisturizing Milk. I originally bought this with the intention of using it on my little ones. However, after trying the Shea Baby Karite Bebe Bonding Time Massage Balm in the same collection, I decided to use it on myself instead. Can you guess why?

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion

Been using this 400mL/13.52fl. oz. pump bottle of La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion. I also have a supposedly thick Balm version which I'm saving for use next winter.

Voluspa Candles Part II

I picked up these large 397g/14oz. jars of Voluspa Two Wick Glass Candles from Nordstrom during the winter of 2020 I think. They were cart fillers because I thought the etched glass jars were pretty, and they were. From the description of the fragrances, I chose two I thought hubby and I might like: Panjore Lychee and Japanese Plum Bloom.

Peter Thomas Roth Mega-Rich Intensive Anti-Aging Eye Creme

Been using this generous 22mL/0.76fl. oz. jar of Peter Thomas Roth Mega-Rich Intensive Anti-Aging Eye Creme as part of my morning routine for a couple of months now and liking it ok. Here's the funny thing: the eye cream has actually dried up quite a bit, but I'm still using it and find that I actually like its dried up version better. Weird, right?

RMK Cleansing Balm

Just finished this 100g jar of RMK Cleansing Balm yesterday! Woot! There's also a Moist version that I'm saving for the winter so I'll review that one later. Either way, both of these balms have been discontinued and replaced with a new Cleansing Balm Refresh and Cleansing Balm Rich, which I'll admit I'm pretty tempted to try as well given how much I like this version.

The Organic Pharmacy Radiant Day Shield SPF10

This is the next installment in my search for a moisturizing base to layer over my moisturizer but under my sunscreen, because my skin gets way too dry in the winter with sunscreen on.

Before this, I'd tried Bobbi Brown Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm Bare Glow. However, it was so moisturizing that it prevented my sunscreen to set, and it was way too "glowy" and pearly for my taste as well.

And before Bobbi Brown, I'd tried Paul & Joe La Tout Eclat Moisturizing Foundation Primer L SPF18 PA+, but it turned out to be full coverage, a completely opaque and pearly lavender base. Nope.

And before P&J La Tout Eclat, I was using 3 different Paul & Joe Pearl Foundation Primers which were actually working out OK until the weather got too cold and my skin got too dry.

So here I am now, with this 30mL/1fl. oz. dropper bottle of The Organic Pharmacy Radiant Day Shield SPF10 from the Day Plump & Glow Kit I bought over this past holidays season.

Manuka's Cosmet Manuka Honey & Yuzu Hand & Nail Treatment

I have this 50g tube of Manuka's Cosmet Manuka Honey & Yuzu Hand & Nail Treatment at my desk that I reach for every once in a while, but I don't really like it.


For one, it smells neither of honey nor yuzu. For two, it's more like a gel cream that's on the light side and isn't moisturizing enough, not even for the spring weather. May be this is meant for the hot and humid climate? To make matters worse, it leaves my hand sticky too. Will not repurchase.

Dr. Hauschka Lip Care Stick

Here's another lip balm tucked away and forgotten in a drawer: this 4.82g/0.17oz. full size tube of Dr. Hauschka Lip Care Stick that I got as part of a generous GWP from Beauty Habit some years ago. The tube had the manfacturer's shrink wrap and the balm itself was slightly dried up (it shrank a tiny little bit), but upon testing I found it okay to use still so I'm using it ^.^

After a few years forgotten in a drawer, I finally dug out this tiny 2g/0.07oz. sample tube of L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Lip Balm to use.
