Japanese goodies =]

Hey ladies


I'm gonna do a proper post now...it's not a haul post because it's all gifts =D
A while ago my friend from Japan came over to Australia for a week holiday. I hadn't seen her in nearly 4 years!!


So while she was here I took her around Sydney etc.

This is us at Hurricanes Grill and Bar Harbourside.

Me left, her right

Following are some goodies she brought over:

Fabric, her mother thought I was still into sewing, I'm on and off but I always admire Japanese fabrics because the patterns are always so beautiful. 

ViVi magazine and Sweet =]

She also brought some lollies (all gone =P), Japanese Tea and some other random knickknacks. 

It was so sad to see her go after only one week =(

but my friends and I got her a pandora bracelet

I got her a kangaroo because that's the "Aussiest"thing they have in their collection

Also got her some lucas paw paw ointment, box full of lush bath bombs and dream cream which I think is the best all over body moisturiser. Also gave her a benefit bad gal mascara. 

After she left I got a package from her =]

She sent lots and lots of these. Best lollies ever!

Some flavoured gummies (they're not really sour despite the name)

Jill Stuart goodies =D

Inside each small bag was the Fruit Lip Balm in 02 Tint

It's so beautiful!!

Taste and smell is not that great...Juicy Fruits by Lancome are my top pick for flavoured lip gloss

And in the big bag was my lusted after perfume!!!

The bottle is just gorgeous!!

This was the only thing 1 of the 2 things I requested from her

Canmake Cheek Gradation in 02

Cure Natural Aqua Gel!! I've wanted this for ages but didn't want to pay the inflated prices online

Ahhhhhh sooooo happy! =]

Coming soon I will post my review on the Gel 

see you guys soon xo

First Jill Stuart Blush and My Beauty Diary Blotting Paper

Today I got my first Jill Stuart Blush, Yays!! ^_^ I know they have been out for a while but I think I'll do a little review. I got colour 09 Little Bouquet. Looks like a coral-ish colour to me. The packaging is just lovely - I'm a packaging sucker =P


I got mine for $41 USD from Cosme-De. Normally they are $46 there but I took the $5 registration offer. Also shipping on any order is free!! Also I got the My Beauty Diary Oil Control Diary (facial blotting paper) for free as my purchase was over $30USD. Also the Australian Dollar is really strong now =] so all up my order was $41USD or $42AUD which is a heaps good price as NARS blushes here are roughly $65AUD. 

Simply love the embossed light pink box

Very Princess-y

Coral-ly Peachy Pinky?

The top left shade has fine silver shimmers

I love the semi-matte-ish finish

Swatches - from top left hand corner, anti-clockwise on my skin (sorry if swatched badly - have yet to master this)

Swatches - from top left hand corner, anti-clockwise on tissue

I really love this blush, I can use it without the top left hand corner colour to achieve a matte finish. 

Pros:The smell is just lovely 

cute packaging  ^_~

good pigmentation

detachable blush brush

blush brush is soft

Cons: Expensive

Not really much product - smaller than I expected

Hard to test outside of Japan, Hong Kong, Korea

Prices vary so much depending on where you get it from

I want more! Lol

I Also got the My Beauty Diary Oil Control Diary/Facial Absorbent Paper for free with my order =]

So Cute - Looks like a real diary

Very Handy - However I think this is a bit too big for my preference.

Hope everyone is doing fine

I have a friend coming back from Japan and I asked him to get me a whole tonne of Canmake stuff =] Can't wait to try them all. Yay! =D

Also Don't forget to enter my Giveaway 

Another SaSa Haul. lol

I should really stop looking at the SaSa site. Been drooling over the vast catalogue of products. But when I was browsing they had re-stocked Jill Stuart mix blushes (been lusting after these for a while and SaSa has them for around $43.00) But when my package arrived they did not pack it   ='(  instead they packed me the Smooth Silk foundation in Ivory 202. I don't want to open it just incase it's not my shade. I have really light skin with warm and cool undertones =S

SANA Soya Milk Nameraka Nonpo Make Up Base

I think this is a primer. I've never used primer before so this would be my first one. Just starting out so don't want to spend too much and I usually trust Japanese brands for their quality. Around $9 =]

SANA Soya Milk Arbutin Toner

Needed a new toner so I'm just trying this out. It contains arbutin which is a whitening/brightening ingredient. It's going to be spring in Australia which means more sun and I tan easily. So I'm using some whitening products to maintain the colour of my skin.

Naris Up Wink Up Lasting Gel Liner

This is my first gel eyeliner. I'm just using this one first because it has a good price to it ($9.50) before I consider buying MAC or Bobbi Brown.

Koji Eye Talk

This is a double eyelid glue. I already have double eyelids but they aren't as visible as caucasian eyelids. However I'm gonna use this as eyelash glue =] Much cheaper than conventional eyelash glue because there is more product and it was only $6.50. It also has a brush tip applicator which makes applying the glue on the band fuss free and mess free =]

This is my gift with purchase. It's a headphone wire manager. It's soooo cute and practical =]

take care everyone and will do a review soon on my hauled products ♡
