Renpure Lavender & Honey Calming Body Wash ($6.16 for 24oz from Walmart): This softly scented body wash is pleasant and calming to the senses, and it thoroughly cleans the skin without ever stripping it or leaving it dry. This is a wonderful daily body wash that is a definite repeat purchase! Purchase Again? I just opened another one of their body washes in another scent!
Mrs. Meyer's Compassion Flower Hand Soap ($4.99 for 12.5 oz. and a 3-pack for $13.94 from Amazon, Walmart and Target): is not your typical floral scented hand soap, but instead the aroma is neither too sweet, nor too fragrant. It has a light and delicate floral aroma that is uplifting and understated. This is a very moisturizing hand soap that neither strips the skin, nor leaves behind an oily residue. Instead, it is utter hand soap perfection. Purchase Again? I just opened another bottle!
WYLYS Double Rose Luminizer ($188.00 for 1.01 oz. from Boxwalla): As a huge proponent of luxury face oils, I was elated to try this gorgeous mid-weight oil that sumptuously melts into the skin. Used after the Saro De Rue x Gothamista Essence, this ultra-luxe oil, with its stunning light herbal/floral aroma, leaves skin hydrated, soft, smooth and supple. It has an unparalleled silky texture, and it never leaves behind a greasy residue. It effectively softens the appearance of fine lines, leaves skin with a luminous glow, and it is a true joy to use. This is one of the most lovely face oils that I have tried in the last decade, and I simply cannot underscore the extent to which this is a delight to use, and that it delivers tangible and visible results. Purchase Again? Maybe at some point, but I have too many open face oils, and can't see buying another one just yet.
Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum ($195.00 for 30 ml/ 1 oz. from Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, bluemercury, Vintner's Daughter): This lightweight and fast absorbing golden elixir boasts a delectable warm and earthy aroma from which one can detect the Rose Damascena Absolute, Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower and a fusion of the remaining essential oils. The intoxicating aromatherapeutic experience delights and calms the senses while it quiets the mind. I find that I slow down and inhale deeply as I massage in into my skin, and that any residual stress that I may have been experiencing just melts away. This ritual is utterly relaxing, and it heightens the sensory experience of using this luxe oil. This serum significantly bolsters radiance and it leaves skin silky smooth, soft and supple. I note a distinct brightening and evening of my skin tone, a lifting and softening on my fine lines, and an undeniable increase in the long term hydration of my skin. Purchase Again? I can't wait until I use up a few more of my facial oils because this is at the top of my list to buy again!
Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset ($73.00 for 6 oz. from Shu Uemura, Sephora and Amazon): What an amazing hair mask, and it's definitely a splurge. I am a big fan of Shu Uemura Art of Hair products, and I am tremendously impressed by this mask in particular. It deeply conditions, makes hair manageable and frizz-free and even gives it a wonderful luster. Purchase Again? I just opened another one of their hair masks, but it is one especially for color treated hair.
SACHAJUAN Ocean Mist ($38.00 for 5.1 oz. from Dermstore, Revolve, Amazon, Credo Beauty, ): This styling salt spray is formulated to create definition and texture to the hair. It gives hair that beachy wave texture associated with a day spent playing in the salt water and sand. It is non-sticky and creates enough volume and structure and without impairing the natural movement of the hair. Purchase Again? YES!
Adirondack Fragrance Farm Balsam & Cedar Vintage Hand Cream ($19.00 for 2.3 oz. from Adirondack Fragrance Farm and their Amazon Store): is a rich and nourishing hand cream that immediately moisturizes even the most dry and chapped hands. The Balsam and Cedar scent evokes a walk through the Adirondacks on a crisp and cool afternoon. The woodsy scent is at once uplifting and intoxicatingly beautiful, and it isn't in the least bit overpowering. Sandy created this scent because she loves Balsam Fir and the essence of Northern White Cedar leaf combined with the "esters of white pine needles released on the wind on a sunny day." It is a beautiful embodiment of this amalgam of woodsy aromas, and it is a joy to use. Purchase Again? Eventually I will, but I just opened two difference hand creams that I need to use first.
Overall Assessment: I am quite pleased that I finished all of these products up before any of them began to go bad! What did you finish up, toss out, give away or return in October? Any real winners or duds to report?
