Over Haul

Hey lovelies.
I've been hauling like crazy!! Wallet is not happy with me. I online shop when I'm stressed...online retail therapy =]

Here's what I got so far...

Top Row: Hair products from Shiseido, Shampoo and Conditioner, and hair moisture essence and treatment sprays. Tsubaki Spray on the end. Will do a review on some the hair treatment sprays as a got those a couple of weeks ago.
Lower rows: I caved in and bought some dolly winks and Ardell lashes, I got dolly wink pure little and sweet girly...these lashes are huge! and long! The Ardell lashes, I've tried some and they're great, very light weight. Also stocked up on Vitacreme B12 (got them for $9 each!!) Got SK-II Facial Treatment Repair-C (it's a concentrated version of the facial treatment essence. Love!), Crabtree and Evelyn Lavender Room Spray, Yanagiya Apricot Hair Oil and Tsubaki shampoos and conditioners.
I got these all from SaSa and Bonjour. The Ardell lashes are from eBay.

Did a nail polish haul after I finished all my exams.
L-R: Nail polish thinner, Kose Pure mild enamel remover, Missha The Style nail polish remover, China glaze nail polises and OPI P17 "Stranger Tides" from the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Seche Vite (really really good!! wished I'd discovered it sooner), Rimmel Matte Finish topcoat and Rimmel 60seconds polish in Grey Matter.
I love pastel coloured nail polishes.

Now I've finished exams I'll be able to blog more properly and do some reviews...I'm back =]
Hope everyone enjoys the weekend and take care.

CanCam July 2011

CanCam is one of my favourite Japanese magazines to look through. It's targeted at college/university ladies. My Japanese friend sends me CanCam magazines and I usually get friends who visit Japan to pick me up a copy. The looks are more wearable, very cute and lady like. Most of the makeup look is neutral and would suit everybody because everything is very subtle and elegant.

I love their 10 days of different looks with select items of clothing

Make up and nails

Dolly Wink from Bonjour

A lot of people know about SaSa because of their great prices and decent international postage service. However, few know about Bonjour HK unless they live in Hong Kong or have travelled there. I found out about Bonjour a year ago while I was in Hong Kong and their prices are comparable or sometimes cheaper than SaSa. Later I figured out they had an online store like SaSa. I've shopped online at SaSa when they had free expedited shipping if you spent $150 and over, now they've reduced it to free registered shipping if you spend $75 and over. It's not a bad thing but I tend to visit the site more now =S

For Bonjour they had free expedited shipping if you spend $200 or more...which can be hard to rack up or pay $15 shipping fee. The best thing now is that they've reduced it to free shipping if you spend $99 or more or pay $5.20 shipping. Big improvement =] They also carry some items that SaSa doesn't have and usually (in my opinion) their prices are cheaper by 5% or more than SaSa. 

The thing I've noticed most about Bonjour is that they carry Dolly Wink now!! and Melliesh (SaSa doesn't). However, they are $14 USD, a tiny bit more dearer but if you haul other stuff it's definitely more worth it shopping there. Also another great thing that they've introduced this year besides the cheaper shipping is FREE shipping on some selected products.

They have Dolly Wink Pure Little for $14USD shipped free =] I'm just waiting for mine to arrive at my doorstep.

N.B. I'm not paid to blog this, just sharing a good secret of mine

Bordeaux nails

A few years ago I use to only paint my nails at the tips with colour. I just rediscovered a nail polish I never used and tried it in the tips of my nails. I absolutely love the look if it. Reminds of the current craze with vampires. Looks very sophisticated and suits the winter weather in Australia now. It's a nice garnet polish from the body shop called rose petal red. Has a pearlescent finish.

Nail polish remover

This is my favorite nail polish remover. MISSHA the style nail polish remover. It's strawberry scented and contains pro vitamin b5 which helps keep nails strong. Haven't had any problems with it almost empty so I need to purchase a new one. Only costs around $4 which is a good price for quality polish remover.

Fueki Body Cream Review

Long ago I made a haul but didn't immediately use some of the products I had hauled because I wanted to finish ones that were already opened.

I bought Fueki Body Cream of SaSa because the packaging was extremely cute!!! 
The lid is his hat ^_^
Also comes with a spatula to reduce bacteria transfer.

Here's what SaSa says about Fueki Body Cream
description
Fueki Body Cream is enriched with horse oil which helps relieve dehydrated skin and provide enough moisture to maintain supple and healthy skin. Since horse oil is similar to human lipid structure, its compatibility is better than any other nourishment agent, hence fast absorption can be achieved without feeling greasy. It effectively prevents chapped skin or enhances healing in minor cuts. 

It’s a must-have moisturizing treatment for your body.

how to use it
Take appropriate amount and spread evenly across body part. Massage until complete absorption. 

ingredients
Potent ingredient: Glycyrrhetinic Acid 
Moisturizing ingredients: Shea Butter, Horse Oil, Aloe, Starch, Squalene 


The Product was easily absorbed and I believe there is no scent to it. I use it as a hand cream but it can be used all over the body. I had dry cracks on my hand because I work with a lot of water. When I used this by hands were starting to improve and heal.

Pros
Moisturising
easily absorbed
no greasy feeling
cute packaging
good for kids as well

Cons
hard to get, SaSa and Cosme-de supply it
