Hello, first post here!

After quitting smoking (it’s been two months yay 🥳) I started buying a lot of beauty products. I’ve always loved skin care, been easily influenced and curious about new launches, so I ended up with an overwhelming collection after Black Friday sales. 

I finally decided to stop buying more and focus on using what I already have. So here we are, I’m starting a project pan! 

Lots of these products were opened waaay earlier than December, and I just wanted to finish them up before the end of the year. 

I’ll try my best to keep taking photos of my project pan progress&stay smoke free! ฅ\^•ﻌ•\^ฅ Mini reviews below.

1. Manyo Bifida Biome Aqua Barrier Cream - good, but more suitable for summer.

2. Paula’s Choice 2%BHA - love it, repurchased many times.

3. ISANA toner mist - meh, didn’t do anything, but at least it was cheap.

 

4. AA LAAB s.m.a.r.t skin guard Spf 50+ cream - loved the texture, good for dry skin and sits well under the makeup, future repurchase for warmer days.

5. L’abiotica Multi Protection SPF 50 cream - I’m pale but this spf made me look like a dying Victorian child, greasy and unpleasant to use, absolutely wouldn’t recommend.

6. Bielenda cera Lipidium barrier serum - didn’t like it on my face, ended up using it on my neckline and it worked pretty well there.

7. Vianek fortifying face serum - ended up using it on my legs, heck no.

8. Nacomi next level peptides - we didn’t like each other and I like other peptides serums better.

9. Transparent lab ceramide repair moisturiser - LOVE LOVE LOVE.

10. Beauty of Joseon - I don’t get the hype around this brand. It was just okay but wouldn’t use it in the summer.

11. Hada Labo hyalu renew multifunctional SPF 50 - have you ever felt annoyed using a product and just wanted it to be over? Yeah, that’s this one for me. 

12. Elemis body cream - reminds me of my grandma’s perfumes. I used it on my feet, that’s how I liked this product (far away from my nostrils). 

13. AA smoothing body milk Ciao Bella Amalfi - limited version, it had glitter, smelled like a cherry, I loved it and hope they will bring it back next summer (they won’t 😭).

14. Milk shake hair mask - liked it, nothing wrong with it, won’t buy it again.

15. L’Oreal full resist conditioner - cheap and effective for my fine, thin hair.

16. Kerastase Specifique - my scalp feels amazing after using it so I can’t say no to it, repurchased many times.

17. Cetaphil skin cleanser - love, mini version, had to use it due to the expiration date.

18. Sol de Janeiro body wash and body cream - good but I didn’t like much the scent. 

19. Petal fresh enzyme peeling - my number one scalp peeling, doesn’t irritate or leave my skin itchy.

20. Isana shower gel sun fragrance - you can’t go wrong with Isana shower gels, smash.

Samples and masks. I have full version of iunik beta glucan already in my stash and will  buy aestura atobarrier cream. Everything else is just fine but I won’t buy full versions. 

Last pic is just everyday stuff I like. The panned compact is shiseido synchro skin invisible silk pressed powder in translucent matte, brow pencils are eveline micro precise brow pencil and rimmel brow pro micro. 

Have a good one!
