Just as a general note about sneakers - I have both Golden Goose superstars and P448 Thea platform ones, and the P448 is MILES better comfort-wise. The footbed is SO soft and cushy on them! The Golden Goose have a harder footbed and my heel actually starts to hurt in them after awhile. So if you’re looking for fashion sneakers, give P448 a look. I know the sale has some, and the rack actually gets them fairly often.
Same. Agree. Both fit me well but p448s are like towel lined slippers!
 
In terms of beauty, anyone try these Sturm products or familiar with the black tea body wash?

I have gone through mini bottles of Barbara Sturm Super Anti-Aging Serum, Calming Serum and Anti-Pollution Drops and didn't think that anything warranted a full-size purchase. I haven't tried her Hyaluronic Acid, as that's an ingredient that doesn't really work well for me (dehydrated skin + live in a dry climate).
 
I am happy to hear that since I have the P448's on my wish list. I am debating between the black low tops and high tops. Is there any difference in comfort or is it just a style preference? I know I tried a pair of low tops last year after the anniversary sale but had to return them because of sizing. I usually wear a size 9 in most shoes but the 39 were too snug. Plan on sizing up to the 40 this time.
I prefer high top… but I prefer high tops in general across brands. Both are equally comfy to me.

I think BS (heh) is overpriced for what you get.
 
A fun thing I just did: filter all women's clothing by material - check all the 100%s - wool, cashmere, silk, linen, cotton, leather. OMG. first of all, the amount is very manageable - under 200 items (which is honestly kind of a disgrace). Some things I would not have expected, eg, long sleeve cotton top from zella, which is usually a blend of fabrics. A 100% cotton robe, very cute cotton lounge outfit from everyday ritual, and a fabulous cotton N'Sync tee for those of you born in 1980 +/- 5 years!

I was using Ordinary and switched to La Roche Posay HA and it's seriously so good. I tried a sample of BS and it wasn't anything that great but the LRP HA really plumps up and hydrates, it's only $30, too.

thanks for all the feedback it will be removed from my wishlist! I love HA and love the Sunday Riley tidal face cream but it seems impossible to find anymore. Will take the recc on LRP!
 
Thanks based on the description I was leaning towards the basil scent, is the himoki scent more floral?
I really like the hinoki scent. I had the shampoo and it was good- the fragrance lasts. It is not floral, I would describe it as woodsy, cypress, different. I also have the hand lotion and the fragrance also lasts a long time.

I found an interesting article about the hinoki scent: https://www.afr.com/life-and-luxury...inally-reaching-western-noses-20180411-h0ymh2 If you cannot access:

"It is a very beautiful smell you cannot really avoid if you live here," says Neil Chapman, Japan-based author of The Black Narcissus perfume blog. "Even the soap you use before you enter the waters at my favourite onsen, in Hakone, is hinoki scented.

"It's very uplifting: it has a strangely purifying, almost sanctifying aspect to it. It's quite high-toned and fresh and yet with that almost smoky demeanour underneath that makes it so hinoki."
