My #perfume order from Chasing Scents arrived.

Tea Service travel spray (which I loved) and a sample of Bitter Melon Lemon tea. The sample smells exactly how I imagined it. Refreshing lemon in the opening with a slight bitterness. Love the artwork on the boxes.

I am enjoying #pokemon Legends Z-A a lot more now I know I can do the Battle Zones at night whenever I want. The game pushes you to do them and I thought you would lose the game if you didn't. That is not true. It's sad the game doesn't tell you so I had to learn from Reddit.

I got Artemis #perfume by Soki London for a bday present this year. I love how the bottle looks. It was my favourite out of about 5 peach fragrances I sampled because of the green notes and longevity.

My newest scented lotion.

True Vanilla - Library of Flowers

My search for a favourite vanilla scent continues. True Vanilla smells like a vanilla candle from a spa. Not too sweet but clean, soft and subtle.

All of Margot Elena's packaging is amazing and this is no exception.

I made a meme based on #crashteamracing and annoying local drivers. I had the idea when I noticed I was as cautious of the #ctr characters as drivers IRL. #gaming

I am surprised that I am enjoying the #PokemonHorizons anime so far. It is wholesome, silly and doesn't follow the videogame story structure. Also pleasantly surprised that Crispen Freeman and Steve Blum are in the English dub.

I laughed out loud to hear who was piloting a steampunk flying ship.

A scented mini #handcream #empties

Let Them Eat Cake - Tokyo Milk

Verdict: Will not repurchase

This cream does smell like vanilla sponge cake, but a much sweeter cake than I would like. I could layer it with some of my sweet perfumes but not all.

I will be trying other minis from the brand.

#kbeauty #empty. Bring Green Sleeping Pack

I liked this a lot more than the tea tree one because it didn't have fragrance and was gentle. It helped keep my skin moisturised.

These tubs are awesome to try out sleeping packs because of the small size and price

I finished the main story of the #cyberpunk2077 DLC #phantomliberty and need time to process all the feels. I will finish this current playthrough before trying the other endings. Fantastic DLC though, 9/10. Must have.

Without spoilers, I got the King of Swords ending.

Another #kbeauty #empties

Bring Green Tea Tree Sleep Pack

Verdict: Would re-purchase with different actives

I bought it to try. This moisturised like a #sheetmask without the texture issues.

Sleep packs are face masks you wear overnight and wash off in the morning.

Aloe vera next.

Starter #Pokemon revealed for Pokemon Legends: AZ on the #nintendoswitch

I love Chikorita so am really excited. Why two Johto starters though, when Pokemon Legends Arceus had one starter per generation?

What is with this pricing difference? The other #BillieEilish fragrances were probably the same but I am only just noticing.

I was sensitive to the musk in her other #perfumes so I am hoping this won't be the same. It sounds like I might like it. Time to sample.

Online many describe a -damaged- skin barrier when they have overdone #skincare actives (acids, retinoids, vitamins). In #dermatology damaged skin barriers are in skin diseases like eczema/ dermatitis, rosacea, psoriasis. For most it is more accurate to say your skin barrier has been -disturbed-.

The second picture shows disease affected skin with gaps between the lipid layers. The third image shows topical application of skin identical lipids with only a small gap within the lipid layers.

The Benton Pore Cleansing Brush first impressions

So far, so good.

It adds exfoliation to a second cleanse. The silicone bristles are incredibly soft and the intensity can be adjusted by pumping it. It's easy to use and lightweight.

I did research* before purchasing.

First column says "How to use" - Pump it in the proximity of 6 times using the piston - Press the central button, air escapes The second column says, "How to keep" with instructions on how to attach the wall mount for storage.

#Kbeauty order haul

Aka my attempt to be a 'proper' BlueSky-er and show photos.

This is all the products I am testing at the moment.

I will make a separate post about the Benton cleansing brush since it is an interesting contraption.

The Xerjoff perfume bottles look so much like mage potions having some empties would be great for table top role playing games, or cosplay. Too bad they are so expensive.

Another perfume sample empty. Vanilla Diorama by Dior.

Verdict: Decant worthy

Vanilla with a slight boozy undertone. I got lots of compliments. It is a very situational fragrance though. I have other vanillas on my list to try.

First impressions of a sheet mask.

Verdict: Not for me.

Pros:

- Sheet feels cooling and soothing

Cons:
- Looks Pacman ghost-ish
- Sheet is sloppy, wet and messy
- Hard to multitask in
- Wasteful

I bought two face masks to try from the K Beauty brand TonyMoly - Rice 🍚 and Honey 🍯 tonymoly.com.au

I have never tried these single use masks before so I will see how it goes.
