Sasa and Ebay Haul!

At long last, an update! I'm very sorry for how long it's taken me to write up another post, but I promise that I'll start updating more regularly again. Despite having a looong list of products I need to review, I thought I would ease back into blogging with a simple haul post! 

I purchased these products from Sasa and Ebay seller AlphaBeautyUK, who sells a lot of Japanese products at a reasonable price. I'll list out the products and give a brief description where neccessary.

Skincare

Left to Right

1) Mentholatum Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF 50+ PA+++

I'm constantly on the search for the perfect sunscreen! This one is alcohol free and quite gentle, and so far I like it a lot.

2) Kracie Naive Naive Deep Cleansing Oil (Olive)

It was cheap and simple.

3) Avene Retrinal+ 0.1 Cream 

Not Asian, but I've been wanting to incorporate retinoids into my routine for awhile. Unfortunately, I won't be able to book an appointment with the dermatologist until I'm back in Texas this December, so I got an OTC product instead. This was purchased at Dermstore.com

4) Juju Aquamoist Vitamin C Toner

I wanted to get my Vitamin C in a different skincare step, versus my previous serums. Cheap and has great reviews :)

5) Hada Labo Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Lotion 

It's getting colder and dryer here in Norway, and this is cheap but works sooo well so far. Really happy with it!

6) Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream

Omg this cream is so good so far. I wanted the benefits of ceramides, but I hate the texture of popular ceramide creams like CeraVe. 

Makeup

Left to Right

1) Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Volume on

I was tired of being unsatisfied with my cheap but unremarkable mascara, so I finally coughed up the $15 for this. So far I really like it.

2) K-Palette 24hr Real Lasting Eyeliner (waterproof) 

I just realized that I accidently bought the waterproof version haha... oh well. So far it's quite nice, I'll write a comparison post between this and Dolly Wink eyeliner later.

3) Canmake Lasting Creamy Liner (black) 

I didn't have a pencil eyeliner, and everything is expensive in Norway.

4) Kate Designing Eyebrow N

My current eyebrow pencil was too dark for my hair, so I got this. I really like it so far, though it's a lot smaller than I expected.

June Misc. Hauls (Sasa, Ebay, and more!)

I thought it would be good to show y'all all the products I've bought in the past month that haven't come as huge hauls. This has been the accumulation of a few things here, a few things there, etc. I'll try and say where I bought each item in the descriptions, but I had so much stuff that I couldn't fit it into one large picture... oh well. Also- I'm not sure if any of you have noticed, but I rummaged around my house for a camera, and found an old one from Middle School/High School that takes nice pictures. I also found a place with better lighting, so hopefully my picture quality will improve now! :)

Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner (Deep Black) Review

Some of you may be familiar with how this eyeliner performs from my Kose Deep Cleansing Oil review, where it was basically impossible to remove! It's a great eyeliner that has a lot things going for it, read more after the jump! (:

Hada Labo Tamagohada AHA+BHA Foaming Wash

A great non-drying or irritating foaming cleanser that's suitable for sensitive skin, read on to find out more! ~

RoseRoseShop and Sasa Combined Haul

Some of you may be familiar with the ebay seller Rubyruby76- they have a webstore as well that sells the same products. I can't be bothered with ebay, so I just bought it off of their webstore. Anyway, my RoseRoseShop and my Sasa orders arrived within a day of each other, so I figured that I would write up a haul post for both at once!

Everything, plus some samples!

Sasa Haul #2 !!

Another Sasa haaaullll! Filled with MY BEAUTY DIARY FACE MASKS!!!! And some cream. I'm irrationally excited.

All the stuff! Super excellent image quality.

Sana HADANOMY Collagen Cream 

I tried some out as soon as I got it, and just from the one time I've used it it seems like a really good cream. It moisturizes well and sinks in quickly, and has a small brightening effect. I'm excited to keep trying it out! :)

My Beauty Diary Black Pearl Mask (Box of 10)

Hurray! Super excited to try these out! I've only heard good things about them.

My Beauty Diary Earl Grey Tea & Macaroon mask (x2)

Such cuuute packaging! We shall see if the masks themselves live up to the high standards their packaging has set! 0:<

My Beauty Diary Pearl Powder Mask (x1)

I wonder how much different these are from the Black Pearl masks...

My Beauty Diary Bulgarian White Rose Mask (x1)

I actually tried this out about an hour ago- I'll post a review in the next day or so. It does what it advertises. ^^

My Beauty Diary Mixed Berries Mask (x2)

I've also heard really good things about this one ~

My Beauty Diary Red Vine Mask (x2)

Antioxidants and stuff?

My Beauty Diary Sake Yeast Mask (x2)

I was reading earlier about how yeast apparently has anti-aging properties? We shall seeeeeeee

My Beauty Diary Arbutin Whitening Mask (x3)

Got one for free with some quick Sasa deal thing. Look at how science-y it looks!

Sasa Haul!!

Hi! I've been busy lately with an essay for school, so I won't post my next review for a week or so. Regardless, I thought I'd do a brief entry about my Sasa haul I got in last week!

All in all it contained 5 products, 6 including the small sample I got.

AQUAMOIST Hyluronic Acid Whitening & Moisture Milky Lotion

It's an emulsion by JuJu Cosmetics with vitamin C! I really like it so far, and I'll be reviewing it in the next month or so! Vitamin C is supposed to reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, enhance effectiveness of peels and microdermabrasion, and lessen hyperpigmentation. Which I need :)

HadaLabo TAMAGOHADA Daily Foaming Wash
BHA is supposed to unclog and refine pore size and reduce breakouts, while AHA is a mild exfoliant, that repairs sun damage - both build collagen! I heard that if you just put it on and wash it off immediately after it doesn't do much good, so I've been trying to keep it on for a minute or two. A review will eventually be up!

JUJU Cosmetics AQUAMOIST Vitamin C Cream

Ahh, this one I'm not such a huuuge fan of so far. The first couple of times I used it, it simply wouldn't absorb. I've only found it okay after using the barest amount... I ended up ordering a different cream to replace this one, I just think it's not that great really :(

Kose SOFTYMO Deep Cleansing Oil

It's my first time trying a cleansing oil, and I really like it so far! Not much else to say at this point.

SELENA 5 Layers Cotton Pad

I actually keep forgetting to use these with my toner, but a lot of people are fans of them, and they were quite cheap ($3.40 for 80), so I figured it was worth a try. As you can see on the box, you use them to make toner face masks! It's a very popular thing in Japan, from what I understand. You can see an explanation of the process here. :)

Methode SWISS Whitening Spot Eraser

I've been using this on a couple of new pigmentation marks I have, and I *think* that it's working. I don't think I'll bother buying a full size though, as it's so expensive. We will see though...

So yea! That's about it. The next reviews I'll be posting are for makeup, but I'll get around to reviewing these after I've used them for atleast a month, that way I have an idea if they actually work. :)
