Hoarded round of empties.... . ▶️Cleansers - Palmers Coconut Oil Cleansing Balm, bought in an emergency situation when I forgot to pack my cleanser on a trip. Pleasantly surprised for the price and performance, used during winter. Wouldn’t repurchase for daily use but if stranded ever again, yes Ill get this one. Worked for makeup removal, sunscreen, morning and second cleanse as well😐 Celimax Cleansing Oil, was an effortless makeup remover, without stinging my eye and emulsified exceptionally well. Subtle scent on nose and washed off nicely with splash of water or wash cloth. Winner👍🏼👍🏼 Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser, an old favorite and continues to be one. Clay based tingly cleanser, excellent all year round, doesn’t dry or strip skin, and works brilliantly as a mask too. Repurchase in salon size if I can!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, another complete winner. Not abrasive on skin at all, yet provide gentle exfoliation and when mixed with dermal clay cleanser, proper deep clean. Repurchased already!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Dermalogica PreCleanse, is possibly my first ever cleansing oil and still go back to it time and again. I have one in my stash ready to go again. Sometimes going back to first loves is the best feeling👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 The Lotus Jeju Botanical balancing cleanser, was new to me, light foaming cleanser but didn’t strip my skin at all. Mainly used for morning cleanse, and thoroughly enjoyed it. 👍🏼 ▶️Toning Mists - La Roche Posay Serozinc, does this even need an experience or opinion punch line. Stocked up, ready to go with next bottle, silent hero in my routines. Now that we are in summer, absolute MUST👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 5Yina Summer Lucent Mist, was such a delight to senses and skin. Fine mist that caresses the mist and truly transcends to balmy summer day with air filled with citrus scents👍🏼👍🏼 ▶️Serum Treatments - Ausceuticals Vitamin B Serum, with 10% Niacinamide, Zinc PCA, Panthenol, MAP, Licorice Root, & Green tea, a light refreshing gel consistency, instantly absorbs in skin. Possibly one of my fave Niacinamide serums for daily use. Skin was visibly brightened and improved tone over a period of time, Repurchase, yes!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Major clean up of samples today, though this may not appear to be clean up, this was my sifted through “to use” stash! Of course the Bioderma Matricium are not samples, but since they’re little vials i keep em in same sample stash. . I cannot possibly talk through each one here, perhaps when they’re empties! What does your sample stash look like and how do you manage yours? . . . #samples #prsample #friendsofcalissa #prgift #luxuryskincare #flatlay #ecoluxe #skincarediary #nightskinroutine #skincareaddict #skincarejunkie #skincareregime #skincareblogger #skincareproduct #skincareroutine #beautyroutine #melbourneblogger #instabeauty #instablogger #bblogger #bbloggers #beautyblogger #beautybloggers #beautycommunity

I do love a good cleanser and a cream cleanser is certainly right up there along with balms and oils. For the longest time, MV Organics, 5Yina and SKII cream cleansers have been my top three. Recent addition has been Honua Skincare as mentioned yesterday. Tell me in comments your fave cream cleansers, while I rattle off what I love about each: MV Organics - possibly one of the first cream cleansers I experienced and genuinely loved, many years ago. Packaged in an aluminum bottle (extremely travel friendly), with detectable scent of Rose Geranium and Mandarin oil. Compressed with a warm face cloth, skin is left plush divine with no rush to slap anything else on. And this is based on brutal Chicago winters (-35C wind chills my skin was protected). I don’t use this for makeup removal, this is my preferred morning cleanse because it sets the right tone for everything that follows after (70ml A$52) 5Yina wins my heart for its formulation with fine pearl powder, super fine might I add. Gentlest exfoliation suspended in a creamy formula. I love massaging my skin with this cleanser, and skin does appear bright after the gentle exfoliation. I have to emphasis gentle on skin to the point a friend thought it was undetectable. She didn’t feel any pearl powder action happening (60ml USD$38) SKII is one cleanser you wouldn’t expect to see in this line up, however this belongs here for performance! In true SKII scent, pitera essence formulation, it caresses my skin. Plus as much as many would cringe over the idea of dipping fingers in cream pot of cleanser I actually enjoy the ritual. It’s a rich cream but melts in the skin and emulsifies like a dream. Funnily enough Mum didn’t have her reading glasses and left this on overnight thinking its a cream, but her skin looks so plump in the morning. (80g A$80) Honua cleanser is relatively newer addition, however a good performing cleanser can make its place in short while. Yet again a beautiful formulation, slightly lighter cream compared to above three, however still provides same level of decadence in the formulation. Lastly, HHW Honey Cream Mask/Cleanse Continued👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

After yet another mini hiatus, I’ve beeb meaning to post my new trials, empties, routines however been failing successfully☹️ Anyhoodles, tonight I was determined to finally talk about @honuaskincare I’ve been using for past 2-3 weeks now. While I haven’t been able to play with every product with sufficient time, my early impressions have me reaching for three products the most. No brownie points for guessing the cream cleanser, it light yet creamy giving skin enough grip for massage and can be easily removed with splash of water or warm face cloth. It reminds me quite a bit of Trilogy cream cleanser in terms of smell. Second most reached product is their Hawaiian Beauty Water, exactly as name suggests watery consistency however packed with some gorgeous ingredients like Coconut Water, Papaya Enzymes, Witch Hazel, mildest exfoliator for nights I don’t want hardcore. Typically I’d use PHA pad but this water have temporarily replaced the PHA pads (Zelens and Neogen). Also love mixing this with MV Organics Clay Mask, perfect combo. Third product was no brainer and instant love purely and simply because of Turmeric. Fair to say you had me at Turmeric, my fave ingredient as I use quite noticeably in my Calendula and Turmeric Balm too. Along with Noni, Kuikui and Chia seed oil it’s a delight for inflamed and irritated skin (can say so as my skin was protesting during my recent move). Leaving behind the sunscreen and serum I’ve used only a handful of times. I’ve been missing on using the serum because of a peculiar trait called laziness. And as for sunscreen, I’m experiencing white cast so working other ways of using it. Anyhoooo that’s all for me in one evening, hope everyone is well and gearing up for crazy part of the year. Tooodles for now xx

Ok I may look pissed off in this bare faced picture but I’m actually ecstatic (perhaps hard to believe). . I had a facial this morning at the same place I had my previous facial. If you remember I didn’t walk out happy or satisfied as my concerns weren’t met at the time and feeling disappointed given the spa had fantastic ratings. . Today I went back to the same place, as they proactively reached out, listened to my experience, took the feedback positively, and offered to remediate the situation by offering another facial with their best. And very glad to say their best is truly the best. My concerns hadn’t changed much since last time, lymph drainage massage was still the priority for me, and Gua Sha to get the facial stagnation moving. The expert with magical hands, actually in all honesty I should give full credit to Sam’s skill and experience that shined through the facial today. I wasn’t expecting or wanting any extractions or laser treatments for where I’m at, and this facial was a prime example or perhaps even an epitome of sense of touch, right massage and Gua Sha techniques to deliver results. This was perhaps one of best Gua Sha treatments I’ve received outside TCM clinic. Everything from amount of oil for grip on skin, angle of tool, pressure on skin and skin scrapping was sheer perfection(and these words rarely come out of my mouth)! Also huge thank you to @n.visage for steering me right to Sam, you were absolutely right!!! . #facial #dayspa #lymphdrainage #guasha #esthetician #littlecompany #ecoluxe #skincarediary #nightskinroutine #skincarejunkie #skincareregime #skincareblogger #skincareproduct #skincareroutine #beautyroutine #melbourneblogger #instabeauty #instablogger #bblogger #bbloggers #beautyblogger #beautybloggers #beautycommunity
