Maychiri's Thoughts: La Roche-Posay

New Stuff - Part 44

September 14, 2024

Hello!

A bit late this week but I truly have been busy, trying to sort out everything for the new job that I got. But I still wanted to share some interesting things with y'all!

As you can see, this is a predominantly skincare-focused selection of products. This is because I love some of these products so much that they are a staple of my skincare routine, so I keep repurchasing them as I use them up. Notably, the Eucerin and La Roche-Posay moisturisers are some such products, although I stopped repurchasing the Effaclar Duo (+) some time ago. This is a bit of a spoiler, but this also isn't the last time you'll see the Ziaja face masks... 😉

The entire Vege Lip Care range

Now, not everything is skincare, as you can see there's also an eyeshadow primer and... oh? A lip scrub! Lip scrubs are a necessity for me because my lips tend to become chapped extremely easily, so I need to exfoliate them regularly. But, thing is, finding a good lip scrub that doesn't feel like rubbing literal sanding paper on my lips is surprisingly difficult! So many lip scrubs use sugar crystals that are far too large and, as a result, end up damaging the lips instead of just gently exfoliating the top layer. I found this brand on Notino, apparently it's a Polish brand, I wouldn't know, it was brand new to me. But what I did know is that it was affordable, so I truly had nothing to lose even if this one ends up being just as scratchy. Choosing which one of the Vege Lip Care scrubs to buy was the easiest decision ever because... flamingooo!

The entire Pumpkins Pretty Please! LE

And lastly, the very-out-of-my-comfort-zone kind of green nail polish! Hey - autumn has already come with these cold, cold temperatures, so I felt it was appropriate to showcase this perfectly autumnal nail polish. This is the only product that is not available anymore, as it was part of the Essence Pumpkins Pretty Please! LE, which was launched in autumn 2022. This whole LE just speaks to me so much! Autumn is my favourite season, so to have a whole LE inspired by just that? Perfection! This might not have been a huge LE, but it had many items I ~~wanted~~ needed, such as the nail polish! It's all themed around pumpkins, a true symbol of autumn... but that also means that most of the items were too orange for my skintone, sadly. But you know what isn't orange? A pumpkin leaf green nail polish, so that's what I got!

Now, presenting the varied bunch of products, some new and some already reviewed (I'll still link them here):
