A few full sized products to start off the new year. Some were actually finished before the new year.

Hadolabo Goku Jyun Lotion
A great J-Beauty “dupe” of The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Hydrating Face Serum. I put dupe in quotation marks because the ingredients lists share a few items but there are also some big differences. I have something in mind to try soon but I’ll definitely repurchase in the future. 

LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask with Squalane 2.3 oz/ 70 mL 
This one was fantastic for late night hydration. I can get away with delaying my morning skincare routine if I use this the night before. I have something else I’m currently using and a few sample pots of this, so it’ll be some time before I repurchase. 

Equate Moisturizing Lotion
A dupe of Cerave’s moisturizing lotion. I feel like I just bought this and it’s already done! I will repurchase in the future though.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Intense Felt-Tip Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner 02 - Satin Chocolate Brown 
I love felt-tip and brush-tip liners in general. I have other ones that I prefer more but I wouldn’t mind repurchasing if I ever needed to. 

Origins Plantscription™ Multi-Powered Youth Serum 
A pleasant serum. I need more time with it to form a better opinion. The price is up there though, so I’m not sure I’d go for it. 

Destash

The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum for Thicker, Fuller Looking Lashes & Brows 
I tried this one and then kinda used it inconsistently. I believe it’s expiration date is past due hence the destash. I want to give it a proper try again some day.

White Conc Body CC Cream
I bought this mainly for the Vitamin C content when I had a massive flare up all over my body last summer. It smelled pleasant and had a shimmery effect but also a whitening effect. My skin is nowhere near fair enough for this, especially since I was using it in the summer time. I haven’t touched it in forever, so it’s just collecting dust.

@JoSometimes Great work!!

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @Samtian! 😊

Great job @JoSometimes I've tried some Hada Labo stuff before and enjoyed it. Good to know about this one!

[JoSometimes]

@makeitup305 They recently released a North American line. I haven’t looked too much into it but it should be easier to find now. 

[makeitup305]

@JoSometimes a Teso just opened up near me and they had the entire skincare lines of brands I didn't know and some I recognized (like Hada Labo). I wanted everything! 

[JoSometimes]

@makeitup305 I love browsing through those kinds of stores! They have all kinds of hidden treasures if you’re willing to take a chance (or use google translate on everything)

[makeitup305]

@JoSometimes I need to take pictures, go home and research, then come back and pick it up in person. The markup wasn't bad either. I saw the Canmake Munyutto Highlighter (they had testers!) and they were sold out so I got it off of Amazon because it was just too stunning. They also had some Judydoll and few other makeup brands that I recognized as well. We ended up buying snacks mostly. If I wasn't on a no-buy I'd be running rampant in the beauty and skincare section lol

[JoSometimes]

You are so strong @makeitup305! I would have caved so quickly…

[makeitup305]

@JoSometimes a true pillar of self-control lol

Aaah LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask with Squalane 2.3 oz/ 70 mL is just so good. 💙⭐

I have other night moisturizers atm but I would snap that one up again in a heart beat too. I'm so glad it's been good to you. @JoSometimes 

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu I forgot to apply some one night during the holiday season and woke up the next day just crazy dry. I had to jump in the shower immediately to refresh my skin. It made a big difference.

@JoSometimes Great empties! You have finished a lot of full size items. Great job at staying hydrated this winter!

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @Mellmars1185! My skin has had some roughness here and there but overall it hasn’t been too bad. It’s been it worse shape before.
