Mini Haul: Tarte Cheek Stain

Hello my lovelies.. Again, I apologize for not blogging for awhile..I have my own reasons haha..First, I was in deep thinking of changing my major (Biology). Class started 2 weeks ago and I absolutely detest my classes:(2nd sem of Bio, Calculus). I was thinking, "No, I don't think this field is for me..I need to change soon before it's too late." So after consulting with a bunch of friends if I was doing the right thing, I finally pluck up the courage to do so. They said, "Do what you LOVE to do, not what people EXPECT you to do." I couldn't even remember the things that a bio major SHOULD know. The truth is, I don't care at all. My heart sways to Business Administration :). And so, I declared my major last week as a Business major (sports, entertainment, and hospitality management). I will be getting my Master's for Human Resources Management and get a Post-MBA certificate for Global Logistics. Whoaa...so much to do. But this is what I would like to do in the future. And so, I dropped my bio-related classes and added an economics class and a management class. Now, I am uber happy. I should cut this short and let's proceed to my mini haul! Sorry for blabbering so much..

 
I love the colors.. The bright pink one doesn't appear to be that bright once you put it on. Sorry I forgot to take pics on how it would actually look like on skin. >.<

I have gotten this awhile back..I think 3 months ago. Seriously, I'm way behind schedule for blogging. Terrible! LOL
I also got a free ring for purchasing this trio.

The cheek stains are good for everyday use. I really don't have a preference on which kind I want: powder or cream blush. I love both kinds and as long as it looks good on me, it's a plus! ;)

Review: Evian Brumisateur Mineral Water Spray

I've been lagging with my posts.. >.< 

Anyway, here's another product review for you guys.


I was introduced with this product by my sis in law. She loves this stuff so I bought one for myself. I use this every time it's hot and humid outside.
I love the coolness sensation on my skin (face) every time I spritz away. I also use this when i'm tired and whenever I feel like my skin needs some refreshing time. Instead of going to the bathroom and wash my face, I use this instead. It's very convenient. I got this from Sephora by the way (travel size). I think it's $12 for two small cans.



I highly recommend for you guys to try it..Very refreshing!! :)

Gift

Hi my loves! :)

I'm in good condition now so I will start blogging! YAY!
 It's been awhile..yes..
I have a lot of stuff to share with you guys that's why I'm so excited.

My mom bought this CLINIQUE Make up Kit for me which I haven't used it yet since I was sick and haven't been wearing make up for at least a week or two now i think? That's a long time :)

I've never used CLINIQUE make up before so I guess this will be my chance. The truth is, I'm not a big fan of CLINIQUE make up line but I guess this is gonna be my chance to try the product and change my impressions with it. I'm picky with cosmetics but I'm open to try all of them. How can you tell if something is really good or not right? Don't judge a book by its cover. But I still do hehe. But hey like I said I will try all of them.

She got this kit from HK and I'm wondering if they do have it here in the US. I do like the colors. Very simple and natural for everyday look.

The top part of the kit are an array of lipsticks (Long Last Lipstick). From left to right: 03 Creamy Nude, FC Pink Peach, 12 Blushing Nude, 97 Party Red, G7 Pinkberry.

The second row is the Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad: 02 Spicy

The third row which you have to pull it out are the Superpowder Double Face Powder (02 Matte Beige) and Soft-Pressed Powder Blusher (20 Mocha Pink)


And of course it comes with a travel size High Impact Mascara (Black) ~I need to include this with my mascara review :)

I will let you guys know how I like this one soon. =P Bye for now..More posts to come!
Thanks for reading!

DHC Hair Cosmetic Series Hair Lotion Morning Review

Hello hello! I'm doing a review for this hair product that I bought from sasa. I first heard this from Eki and decided to buy one for myself from Sasa since she did a great review about it. I'm soooo happy that I did buy it! Great stuff! I usually use it in the morning when I do not have the time to shower. I spray my hair with water first then spritz this afterwards and blow dry it in "cool" setting.. Oh my! It leaves my hair silky soft and smooth. I love how it smells too.. It has a very girly smell.. haha..That's how I imagine it everytime I smell it.. XD corny...lol Anyway, you guys should check out her blog.. She gives great reviews on products.. :)Thanks to her, this is going to my HG items haha!


If you guys are planning to buy one, better hurry.. It gets sold out quick! I actually have to wait for mine to be in stock. As soon as this item was in stock that time, I jumped and bought it already and was thinking to buy two at the time but they do not allow me to buy two of these for some reason. It cost me $11.00 from sasa plus shipping.. The last time I checked which was 5 minutes ago, this item is still in stock.. Please let me know if you guys got it...If so, how was it? Did you like it? Any pros or cons? 

Have Fun!

Skin Care at Night

I want to share my nightly skin care regimen. I've tried so many skin care products out there for my face to use at night but failed. Either I will have those bumps on my face or my face will turn really oily. I was so desperate to try every single products out there and found LANEIGE skin care line. This product is well known in South Korea. I gave it a go after explaining it to the saleslady my skin condition. I have a combination skin. Every summer, my skin will be oily and when winter hits, I get these dry patches on my face.. gross! So I finally made the purchase and I'm really glad I did. I've been using the LANEIGE skin care for awhile now. 

From left to right: Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner_EX, Laneige Balancing Emulsion 1_EX, Laneige Water Bank Essence_EX, Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_EX, Laneige Water Bank Cream 1_EX
1. After cleansing, I saturate the cotton with this onto my clean face. I love how it smells like. :)

Product Benefits: 

- Removes dried keratin and purifies the skin for clear and transparent skin.
- Bio Dusali, extracted from fermented seaweed with strong energy of life, supplies energy to the skin and promotes keratin turnover, while the Hyacinth extracts purify the skin from heavy metal, smog, and other harmful materials to leave the skin moist and transparent.
- Exfoliating enzymes gently remove the dead skin cells with less irritation. Skin-nourishing royal jelly extracts and sugar cane extracts refine dry and rough skin for moist and healthy skin.



2. After applying the refiner, I apply this on my face. 

Product Benefits:

- Hydro balancing emulsion for dry and rough skin to keep soft and transparent.
- Bio Dusali, extracted from fermented seaweed with strong energy of life, supplies energy to the skin and promotes keratin turnover, while the Hyacinth extracts purify the skin from heavy metal, smog, and other harmful materials to leave the skin moist and transparent.
- Jojoba oil, similar to the moisture barrier of the skin, and royal jelly, rich in nutrition, effectively moisturizes dry skin.





3. Then after step 2, I apply the Water Bank Essence. (Around a hazel-nut sized amount)

Product Benefits:

- A 24-hour long-lasting moisture essence that contains mineral water for skin regeneration and Water Pump System for moisture circulation to safeguard skin moisture and hold it in to leave the skin moisturized and smooth.

- Instantly dampens the skin with ample moisture and forms a natural moisture barrier on skin surface to protect the moisture that is in the skin.

- Contains chestnut extracts and seaweed extracts to enhance keratin turnover to fight roughness and energizes the skin for a smooth and healthy texture.


4. After the essence, I apply this which is the last step. (hazel-nut sized amount too)

Product Benefits:

- A 24-hour long-lasting moisture cream with a strong hydrating effect and a rich texture to refine a rough skin into a smooth and shiny skin.

- Contains mineral water for skin regeneration and Water Pump System for a moisture circulation to safeguard skin moisture and hold it in to leave the skin moisturized and smooth.

- Contains grape seed oil and mango seed oil with anti-oxidant and soothing properties to emulsify the skin and supply nutrition and energy.


Twice a week I use the Laneige Water Sleeping Pack:


After applying the refiner and emulsion, I will skip the other steps to put this. You can use it once or twice a week. It depends on how dry your skin is. After taking the appropriate amount, I mark my nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead, then gently massage it on my face then working towards my neck. 


Product Benefits:

Night time skin transmission (permeability) shows higher rate than the one in the day time.
Applying it right before sleep time, the best state for the skin transmission according to the skin circadian rhythm, maximizes the efficiency of overnight water supply.
The function of skin remarkably declines in the night time. Enriched with Beta-glucan, Water Sleeping Pack_EX deeply hydrates fatigue and dry skin while Ceramide SLN formula strengthens the skin barrier.
With containing the Snow Water, it helps to keep your skin look more crystal clear and vitalized.

- Antioxidant effect of Hunza Apricot Extracts helps brighten skin tone evenly by removing harmful oxygen and purifying skin.

- Recoverine from Chestnuts promotes turnovers of horny layers to remove dead cells away for vigorous water supply and sleek skin texture.

- An aromatic essence compound exclusively developed by AMOREPACIFIC, Sleepscent™(Patent application No. 10-2009-0043726), helps to relax your mind and body and derive for a good sleep. A good sleep effect allowing sufficient relaxation eventually reinforces skin restoration for healthier skin condition. Essential oils from Orange Flower, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Sandal Wood etc. are contained in the Sleepscent™.

- Light gel-type texture without stickiness but moisture leaves you a comfortable sleep.

That's all! I know this is a multi-step skin regimen but it works for me. Now, I actually have the courage to try something else like the Shiseido White Lucent skin care. I love the sample that was given to me by my friend, which is the Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Balance Softener.

The Laneige Basic Skin Care makes my skin very soft and smooth. No more oily face and dry patches during the winter. :)

Have you guys tried any LANEIGE skin care products? Let me know what you think about it.
