Mini Haul Last Friday

I went to FOCUS Department Store last Friday and bought some stuff. I wasn't supposed to buy anything that day but oh well.. I need them! haha..
Mandom Morning Hair Fix Water- Cherry Blossom

My take: So far, I like this product. I used it twice so far and it did set my hair for the rest of the day. It smells good too! (for me =P) I bought this because I used to shower at night before going to sleep and in the morning before going to school but then I realized it's taking so much of my time in the morning that I'm usually almost late to class. So I decided to buy this to set my hair in the morning without my hair smelling and looking like a bedhead. =)  Before buying this, I really wanted to try the DHC Hair Cosmetic Series Hair Lotion Morning, however, sasa.com is out of stock for the product and I searched everywhere for that brand but no luck. I've been hearing alot of good reviews about it so I really want to try it.. Hopefully when I go to HK again next year, I will be able to find it. =)

Next, I bought a BB Cream:
Skin 79 BB Cream

Description

Skin 79 Hotpink Collection Super+ Beblesh Balm Triple Functions SPF25 PA++ features the following benefits:
  • UV cut
    It blocks UVA and UVB to prevent damage and accumulation of melanin.
  • Whitening
    Butene is a potent whitening agent that fends off melanin and achieve a continuous whitening effect. Translucent and white skin is resulted.
Direction for Use

Suggested skin care routine: cleanser>toner>lotion> Super+ Beblesh Balm Triple Functions

1.Apply a proper amount. Blend it evenly to entire face. 
2. For areas with enlarged pores or blemish, tip the cream on troubled points for better concealing effect. 
3. Afterwards, you may apply loose powder or foundation for a long-lasting nude makeup look.

My take: I love this brand of BB Cream! I previously used Hanskin BB Cream Gold Edition with caviar but that didn't really work for me. Two thumbs up for Skin 79 BB Cream! It leaves my skin flawless. I do not use this with foundation since it looks a bit too much of make up. BB cream alone is enough for me =).

Last, I bought a beauty face mask.


Pearl Powder Face Mask

My take: I bought just two of these since I haven't tried it before and don't want to waste the rest if I didn't like the product. So far, I used the first mask and I actually like it. I use it at night and leave it on for 25-30 minutes. Then, remove the mask and don't rinse but instead rub the serum all over your face. Apply this mask after cleansing at night. This mask left my skin really soft and smooth the first use. I have to put one on tonight and see if there's any additional difference with my skin. Overall, I will buy it again. =)


I'm pretty satisfied of what I bought last Friday. To be honest, I rarely come across with products that actually makes a difference with my skin. I'm very happy that I found products that are true to their word. Will buy again! =)

CHANEL Lipstick

I've been wanting to share this but I kept forgetting it! >.<
3 weeks ago, I bought this Chanel Lisptick that I super loved! haha

Let me ask you guy this question: Have you guys ever wonder what kind of CHANEL lipstick did Vanessa Paridis wore on the CHANEL ad that she's in?
Answer: It's the Rouge Coco #05 Mademoiselle

Apparently, this lipstick is the popular one after that ad came out. Well, that's what the saleslady told me. :)
I've already used this for 4 times already so it looks like that.. =P

Overall: I love it!
Why? The color is fabulous! It stays on for a long time, I love the casing (quite cold to the touch), the color gives you an elegant look yet so chic!

The only CON: Price!! $___$  It's $30 for a lipstick...But then, it's totally worth it!

It's available in local department stores.

Mini Haul from Yesterday :)

I blogged about this yesterday about my mini haul from the beauty supply store.
From left to right: Melon of Troy, Royal Flush Blush, Top Coat, Base Coat

I also bought the Limited Edition of Dove soap winter care.
I've been wanting to get my hands on this Dove Beauty Bar to get ready for winter. Even though here in SoCal there's not much "winter" going on around here.. =P But it leaves your skin super moisturized. 

PS: I have to show you guys next time my OPI nail polish collection.

Rainy Day in SoCal -___-"

Yep! It's raining... I actually took a picture of this earlier this afternoon. 
Now, I'm still up so I decided to post it up. It doesn't seem to be as bad in the picture but in reality it is! So much lightning and thunder. x__x.  The weather is kinda weird lately here or maybe everywhere else too. I noticed that I do not have a functioning umbrella, do not have any rain boots (cos i thought living in SoCal would be SUNNY!) Guess not! XD I guess I'm gonna have to purchase one for myself just in case..hehe..
Then, my bf bought this for me to satisfy my sweet tooth. :)
KitKat Dark Chocolate is great! I was satisfied. 
Anyway, enough of this. Last week, I bought the new Neutrogena eye make up remover. After using it for about a week now, I think i should share my thoughts about it. On my next post, I'm going to make a review about make up removers. Stay tuned! :)

Blogposts: up and running again... >.< SORRY!

It's been awhile since I've posted something here cos I'm SUPER busy.. I've been promising to do mascara reviews but never done it. SORRY! For the mascara review,  I will get back into that at the end of the year. I have so much to share for you guys. I've been planning to get a Canon Rebel T2i and still contemplating if I should get it or not. I've asked my bf to make me a light box which he said he will get to it.
Yesterday,  I went to URBAN OUTFITTERS and seen a very reasonable price of STILA lip gloss. It comes with 8 STILA lip glosses (1.5 ml each). I love all the colors. I haven't tried any of them but soon I will! :-P
It's $120 value but is selling for $25. ^_^

Also, I stopped by at Mitsuwa to buy November's Issue of Vivi Magazine

And got this cute pouch for accessories to put in your purse.

Finally, I stopped by a local drugstore and picked up a mascara. Maybelline New York the Falsies Volume Express Waterproof. I haven't tried this one yet and for sure will let you guys know how i like it. :D

A friend of mine bought these lovely mochis at a bakery in Torrance, CA. Very good in taste! Well, for me.. You guys should try some too if you guys are in the neighborhood. =)
