Autumn Cleaning

Since it's Easter break I have some time to do a bit of cleaning. I'm throwing out all the old/expired/used up products I have. Trust me some of theses thing are over 5 years old! I'm a hoarder but I've been slowly getting better over the years. My new years resolution was to use up anything I had, then I was allowed to buy a new one. These are all the beauty related things I'm throwing out. I'll do a mini review on some of the items.

L-R: Kiehl's Acai Damage Correcting Moisturiser, Skin79 Gold BB cream, Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in 21, L'Oreal Derma Genesis Pore Minimising Moisturiser, Kiehl's Acai Damage Protecting Toning Mist

Kiehl's Moisturiser: Initial use of this product was good but as months went along it started to sting my skin so i stop using it. I ended up using it as an expensive hand cream. 

Skin 79 BB Cream: I'm on to a second bottle now. I don't like the grey cast it has but it eventually oxidises overtime to better suit your skin tone. I do get some break outs on the odd occasions. 

Missha BB Cream: This BB cream is really good as well. Not as grey as the Skin79 one. It's not as moisturising as the Skin79 one but it works well overall. I like that it has a higher spf so it's better on sunny days out. 

L'Oreal moisturiser: I quite like this moturiser. Good for dry skin. I did notice that my pores were minimised but I didn't like the smell!

Kiehl's toning mist: HATE this! I'm throwing it out and the bottle is 95% full. It stung my skin. 

L-R: (All Mascaras) Maybelline sky high curves waterproof, Benefit get bent, Maybelline Great Lash in Royal Blue, Lancome Hypnose waterproof, Lancome Fatale, Lancome Hypnose, Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner. 

I'm throwing out the Maybelline mascaras because they are over 5 years old! The Benefit mascara came free with a magazine I bought years ago, I did try it back then, it was a curling mascara but didn't really hold a curl well. 

Lancome Hypnose Waterproof: Great volumising mascara and holds a curl well. It does smudge slightly. Hard to remove =(

Lancome Fatale: A tri-comb mascara that's meant to volumise dramatically. This was very clumpy and weighed my lashed down a lot. I think it was discontinued long ago, it wasn't available for very long either. Did not really like this one much. 

Lancome Hypnose: One of my favourite high end mascaras. Hypnose volumises my lashes well and makes them more noticeable. However, it smudges and weighs down a curl. I've purchased this several times but I've used better mascaras for less than half of this one. 

Dolly Wink eyeliner: I get great control with this liquid liner, lines come out really thin but it sometimes rubs off for me because I have extremely oily eyelids. I'm currently onto a second one though in the hot pink packaging because it was only $1 extra with the Dolly Wink Mascara.

I'm also throwing these primers out, I bought them 3 years ago in Hong Kong. The Kate one performs better than the Shiseido dramatical eyes. However, with the popularity off false lashes now there is not need for primer, plus it's a more lengthy process applying these.

Looks like I've thrown away a lot of mascaras but they were all bought over a 5 year period. I've also got some un-opened ones waiting to be used and some half used ones. 

L-R: (All unopened) Canmake Gokubuto, Dolly Wink Long mascara, Ettusais BI-TA-BA volume mascara

L-R: (Half Used) Kiss Me Long and Curl mascara, Deja Vu Fibre Wig, Canmake Gokunobi. 

Canmake Gokubuto: This one is my second one, I got introduced to this when my friend from Japan sent it in a package, great overall mascara (it's a volumising mascara), washes off easily with warm water. One of my favourites.

Kiss Me Long and Curl: Gives great definition to lashes and holds a curl well but it's so hard to remove!

Deja Vu Fibre Wig: Noticeable fibres but this one does not wow me at all. Little definition, literally no lengthening and fibres get into my eyes!! (Irritating =( ) Does not live up to its hype.

Canmake Gokunobi: Similar to Fibre wig, there are noticable fibres but it doesn't really lengthen, only defines an does not hold a curl.

Enjoy your Easter everyone, let me know if you wan't any more opinions of some of the things =)

Canmake Haul and some Japanese Magazines

Enter My Giveaway!! Simply follow ^_^


Today I went to the airport to pick my friend up who went to Japan...EPIC-EST FAIL! I was a tad late but he didn't wait =( also he had no phone and my phone battery eventually died. So for over 2 hours I drove around and walked around the airport searching for him...then I gave up and rushed home. I charged my phone and immediately called his home...phew...he got home safe...POINT...make sure things are well organised and be prepared for "what ifs" when you go pick up a friend from the airport when their phone is broken T_T


But anyways...he got me lots of Canmake goodies ^_^ and 2 of my favourite magazines...ViVi and CanCam!! CanCam is my style...very soft and elegant fashion. I love the make-up in both ViVi and CanCam because they aren't as over the top as Ranzuki and Popteen. But he got me Popteen too...just that he was over the weight limit and needed to post it. 

November Issue of ViVi came with free Snidel bag. Its black faux fur with a golden chain.

November Issue of CanCam came with Anteprima Misto B5 sized bag...not too sure what to use it for.

All the make up I chose are from Canmake

 Lycee Eye Drops and Lycee Eye Wash. My eyes are always irritated ='(

Also got some super cute Hello Kitty stationery (^-^)v

Left to Right: Lip Concealer in 01, Nudy Glow Lip Glosses in 02 Strawberry Whip/06 Peach Milk/05 Honey Latte, Melty Nude Lipsticks in 03 Baby Pink/02 Creamy Nude/01 Baby Beige

GOKUBUTO mascara, Cream Cheek in 07 Coral Orange, I also asked for 08 Marshmallow Pink but it SOLD OUT =(

 Canmake Eyeshadow Base

"NEW" Gradation Wink in 02 Chocolate Millefeuille (top colour) and 03 Strawberry Tart

Will Do a Review on it soon! I'm so excited to experiment and I have an engagement soon ^_^

haul from sasa

I love SaSa. I first discovered the stores when I was holidaying in Hong Kong at the beginning of this year. Usually when I'm in Hong Kong I go to Watsons which is a like a chemist/beauty store but they don't have an online store. SaSa stocks many well known brands from around the world including premium ones  but at discount prices ^_^

My Package came yesterday. Usually I wait until there is a list of things I want so that I can save on postage. Everything is well wrapped in bubble wrap with those peanut foams as padding. Here is what I got: (Clockwise) Christian Dior make up palette, the whole ESSENTIAL damage care hair care range, Yanagiya Prexeed Hair Tsubaki Hair Lotion, Saya 9-Day Extra Lash Tonic, Cettua Trouble Clear Patch, random gift with purchases.

Christian Dior make up palette. 

This was on sale =] I don't owe much eyeshadows so I bought this because of the number of colours you get and it has a blush, pressed powder, mascara and lipstick. A very convenient set. Will do a review when I need to use it ^_^

ESSENTIAL damage care

this hair care range is good for coloured and damaged hair. I've read a lot of good reviews on it and got the whole collection because I'm very conscious about the inner health of my hair. 

Rich Premier is mean for manageability of hair and Nuance Airy is for volume

So far I haven't used up my shampoo and conditioner but will do a review once I've tried them. I've also bought the treatment and the hair masks as extra treatment for my hair. 

ESSENTIAL damage hair treatment

ESSENTIAL damage care hair masks

Yanagiya Prexceed Tsubaki Hair Lotion

Tsubaki is camellia oil used to treat hair and make is shiny and healthy. This product is meant to help repair damaged hair from blow drying and brushing and make the hair soft, shiny, smooth and radiant.

Haven't used it for long but it smells quite nice.

Some products you purchase comes with a gift and usually when you checkout SaSa lets you choose 2 free gifts. I got breast cream. lol. seabed soil pack (face mask), eyelash curler and a coin purse.

Cettua Trouble Clear Patch. 

I bought this for my boyfriend because he always breaks out in big pimples. They are clear little circle patches. You stick these on our pimple and leave it over night. In the morning you peel it off and the white of the pimple and the pimple head should be removed. 

My Review: 10/10 - it really works because I did have one pimple near my mouth the other day and it got rid of it =]

SAYA 9 days Extra Lash Tonic

There are quite a fair bit of eyelash treatments on the market now but they are all so expensive :(

This one had a promotion and it was buy 2 for around $40. I know it's still kinda a bit pricey but I have teeny tiny lashes. The reviews on the site were really good and the majority of people who bought it said it strengthened their lashes or made them thicker.

Right now I'm trialling it and will do a review on it when I've used it for 9 days.

Package

A while ago I asked my friend from Japan to send me some Rohto Lycee eye drops because they are sold for inflated prices online :(


Here is what she sent me (thank you so much M)

Above: ViVi magazines, Rohto Lycee eye drops, starbucks tumbler <3, Japanese cosmetics


Below: (Clockwise) Shiseido "Perfect Whip" cleansing oil and cleansing foam - I haven't opened these yet as I haven't used up my current cleanser or cleansing oil, Candy Doll Lip gloss - this has a spatula applicator and can be used by itself or on top of lip concealer for a more nudy pink finish, Ettusais Lip essence - I think it's a moisturising lip gloss but I haven't opened it yet, CANMAKE "Four Shiny Eyes"  eyeshadow pallet in 09, CANMAKE "Cheek Gradation" blusher in 05, BI-TA-BU Volume Mascara (gold mascara tube), CANMAKE Gokunobi mascara - apparently this is meant to be a lengthening mascara and goes well with false lashes, Kiss Me Length and Curl Mascara - this was awarded Japans no.1 mascara and is quite inexpensive over there, Kiss Me Mascara Remover (light pink tube)

I will do a proper review on the products I haven't opened. I'm really tempted to open them but I already have 4 mascaras that are opened and 4 lip glosses opened. Make up should not be kept for a long time as bacteria can grow on the applicator…

Do you guys own any of these products?
