Amazon + YesStyle Finds October 2026

Motivations: Reduce redness, increase sustainability, sniff out cosmetic dupes, live my best ash-neutral life.

🛍️ YesStyle (Photo 1)
- acooltd Steam Eye Masks: Lavender + Unscented
- Scalp massager
- CANMAKE waterproof pencil liner: 03 Dark Brown
- CLIO Sharp, so Simple Waterproof Pencil Liner: 05 Ash Brown
- Javin De Seoul Wink Eye Shade Primer: Shade 08 + 09
- JudyDoll Foundation Brush
- Samples: MEDIPEEL+ Peptide 9 Volumet Bio Tox Toner mini, Arencia NAD+ Booster Shot

This mini haul continues my home spa and cosmetic holy grail search. Specifically:

1. trying other steam eye masks to compare to the first brand I purchased (successful!)
2. find ash-toned waterproof liners for tight-lining + replace too-warm tones available in the US (successful!...but will CLIO or CANMAKE win HG status?)
3. Find a dupe for Makeup By Mario liquid eye shadows (miserable fail)
4. Try a new foundation brush (tbd)
5. Make applying scalp oils more bearable (fail)

- FIVE continuous mist bottles
- Dry toner pads

Yes. Five. 💦
- 1 tall opaque bottle to decant light-sensitive toners from "pour out" packaging. This pairs with the dry pads.

Dry pads:
- use toners I already have sitting around to marinate my cheeks rather than rub in product. Friction = 🦞

- 1 tall opaque bottle for HOCl solution. I purchase in bulk since this antimicrobial mist is used on my body daily to spread out the need for showers (big rosacea trigger), and to replace the brand specific 150 ml bottles that are starting to break down with reuse.

- 3 small bottles: 2 extras for whatever bright ideas come up. 1 will be used for decanting exfoliating toners as the second step in my "dry bathe" routine. I'm flying through $15 bottles of SOME BY MI Miracle Body Spray and it's not financially sustainable. I'm replacing this Holy Grail spray with Eqqualberry Swimming Pool jumbo toners on sale in a bundle.

HOWEVER, before folding in the Eqqualbery toner, I'm using up the toners I purchased that were too harsh on my face and have been languishing in Skincare Jail. Most of them come in "pour out" bottles and need decanting.

Photo 3 is a sample of the first set of toners on parole.
- Make P:REM INTECA Soothing Toner
- COSRX Centella Alcohol Toner
- COSRX 5 PDRN B5 Vital Soothing Toner

Why are centella and niacinamide so cruel?

Disclaimer: I don't recommend the Aquia HOCl brand. It's there for demonstration purposes only. I have a new bulk-size brand coming this week that's vetted by the Eczema bigwigs.

For making applying scalp oil less miserable i recommend lilyeve it’s like a scalp brush and you can massage you scalp with it ( please do it gently) but this one is a scalp oil is more to prevent and help hair loss

Moving toners to a continous spray bottle is ingenious.
