			October 2025 FoilsMonth-to-Date: 16Year-to-Date: 79 October was a big month for foils @ather; that has not happened in a while. A mix of skincare, makeup, body care and hair care items. ❤️  Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner for Clear Skin is a go-to exfoliant for me. These days I use it more as a spot treatment than an all over toner. It's particularly helpful when I'm trying to deflate or decimate a bulbous blemish, which sadly, happens more often than I care for these days.  👍  The lightweight, creamy, whipped formulation on the Kulfi Mehndi Moment Long-Lasting Radiant Cream Blush Pinky Promise is dreamy and you really get a lot of bang for your buck with how much product they pack in this tube. I can see the light pink shade being a crowd pleaser but it's that shade of pink that is just too pink for me - my cheeks flush easily so adding more pink to it can be too much. It’s not the product’s fault; just not a good fit for me color-wise on its own; makes a lovely bespoke shade mixed with Sandalwood Swirls 👇. 👍  Kulfi Mehndi Moment Long-Lasting Radiant Cream Blush Sandalwood Swirls is a pretty, neutral brown that blends beautifully and easily. It's just not a color I would reach for often and there's so much product in a full size tube that I would need to reach for it very often in order to even scratch the surface of it.  👍  Kulfi Mehndi Moment Long-Lasting Radiant Cream Blush Lucky Lotus is a very vivid purple. The shade is a bit too vibrant for me as a blush, though it does blend out beautifully. I was using this as a lip product, mixing it with brown-toned lipsticks to add more dimension and color to them. I love the look I can create doing that but not enough to justify picking up a full size tube of this product.  ❤️  Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor™ Renewing Body Wash 13 oz / 385 mL is my favorite scent among the SdJ collection. A spring/summertime staple. 😘  I like the smoothness of the formulation of both Pureology Strength Cure Blonde Purple Shampoo and Pureology Strength Cure Blonde Purple Conditioner. Oftentimes I find purple shampoos and conditioners to be lumpy for lack of a better word but both these products were soft and smooth, blended easily. It’s almost time for another color appointment and I feel like my hair is looking less brassy than it did the same time last time. I haven’t done anything different (in fact I’ve used more thermal heat styling products this cycle) except to incorporate this shampoo and conditioner into my routine once a week for the last 3 weeks. I would repurchase both of these items but not right away - I currently have more than enough shampoo and conditioner to get through next year so I don’t need to buy another set but I would consider this for next year’s holiday savings sale.  ❤️  Love, love, love L'Occitane Smoothing and Firming Almond Supple Skin Body Oil; it may even be a GOAT (🐐) product for me. I have a full size and want to see how I feel about it when it’s in my collection for a longer duration. Stay tuned. 🐐  Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream is a winter warrior - currently it’s a staple in my morning skincare routine. Moisturizes without feeling heavy or greasy and I can count on it to restore my skin barrier if/when it becomes compromised, and keep it healthy and happy. 😐  I know this MILK MAKEUP Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide has a huge following but it doesn’t have the same appeal for me. It is grippy but it’s not a primer I reach for often. 👍  Kjaer Weiss The Beautiful Oil Face Oil is meant for the face but I use it as a body oil. It’s fine enough. I prefer the actual body oil, which is a good thing since I have a full size of that, lol. 🐐  I feel like folks may be tired of hearing me sing the praises of the EADEM Milk Marvel Dark Spot Serum with Niacinamide and Vitamin C 1 oz/ 30 mL - it's definitely one of those products that work well for my skin and that I don't truly realize how great it is until I'm without it in my rotation (which I aim never to be).  👍  Skinfix barrier+ Triple Lipid-Boost 360° Hydrating Eye Cream 0.5 oz/ 15 mL has a lovely lightweight gel to cream consistency. Absorbs easily and quickly. It makes for a beautiful eye cream in the morning, before makeup application. I'm on the fence about it as a repurchase, not because it's not good, but because I have been blessed to have the opportunity to try several equally good, if not better, eye creams. I'm not sure this stands out enough against my Kbeauty eye creams.
