[Hauls] Beauty Products...Accessories etc...

 

Hello everyone!! TGIF!! Woohoo!! \^o^/ Hope everyone had a great and fantastic week so far and is looking forward to the weekend! =D


My week so far has been pretty ok.. and peaceful.. and October is such an exciting month!! Halloween.. Children's day.. oh and Happy Children's Day by the way to all lovely kids out there! ^3^  October is supposedly a busy month for makeup artists but actually for some of you who might not know.. I don't do Halloween or special effects makeup... (WHAT!??) Simply because.. I'm afraid of ghosts and spirits!?? (Duh.. what!?? O.O) Nah.. is simply because I don't want to have too many specialisations.. its a preferences actually and honestly special effects makeup is not easy to do, so kudos and salute to all special effects makeup artists! (O.O)>

Anyway, like I said before in my previous blog post.. that.. I will try as much as I can and update my blog more often so here is it.. with me doing another one today. Its actually another one of my first time today.... ( think straight people..ok?) what I meant was today is my first time doing a Haul blog entry. ^_^ Just to share with you guys what I have bought recently and find that its very good to use. These are just random stuffs.. mainly beauty products and some accessories so here goes:

(BEAUTY)
And these are the items that I got. ^^
I have been back to my obsession with nail polish recently and these are some of the colours that I got from Innisfree. Their Eco nail colours Pro in #59. #37 and #82. (right to left) I have not try them out yet as there were also no testers available at the counter so I can't really comment much on the quality and consistency but the colours are really very pretty and very affordable price of $4 each so I just got them. I also got my first bottle of Revlon Parfumerie scented nail enamel in 090. A dark reddish berry shade that is great for fall/winter season. I tried out the other day and the consistency is very smooth and the smell is very good.. well I won't say its heavenly coz its still nail polish after all but compare to a normal nail polish you won't get the choking weird smell from this one, in fact it smells almost like.. perfume! Well, go get one and try it out and you'll know what I mean. ^_~ (I got it from Watsons @ Taka) I also got the Revlon quick dry base coat and it really dries up pretty fast! The Nails Inc Plumping gel effect top coat I got it from Sephora and its my first bottle too and I really love the effect. It plumps up your nails to a gelish effect as mention and gives a natural shine.




And of course how could I forget my favourite Korean brand Etude House? =) and these are the 3 shades that I've got. Glitter nail polish in #250 , #4 (Beige) and in #97 (Grey). In fact when I was cleaning up my nail polish closet the other day, I realised that most of my nail polishes are from either Etude House or The Face Shop. ( Hardcore Korea Fan. XD) but I'm open to try any brands as long as the colours are pretty and good consistency. =)

These are 2 nail art designs that I come up with using the Etude House nail polishes. They are purely DIY by me and yes... they are my own natural nails. =)
I also got these 3CE products from Luxola. (Gosh.. I really need to stop buying Korea brands..! |O.O/ well..it can never happen.. XD But seriously I do wish they would open up a store here) I got the gel eyeliner in All Black and their Glam cream eyeshadow. I haven't use it yet but I tried a bit of the texture and I really quite like it as it gives a soft satin finish. I think its really perfect for those days where you feel like not wanting to wear too much eye makeup but still want something to brighten up your peeps. =)


For eyeliner, I also got this Japanese brand liquid eyeliner pen from BHG Clementi. (Can't seems to find it in Watsons though) I tried out the tester and it give a intense black and smooth finish. Let's just hope the staying and smudging power is as good too.
I also got this new eyelash glue for false lashes but I don't quite like the smell as compare to the all white bottle one with waterproof function. This one doesn't says so.. but the price is the same.. about $9.90 each so I decided to give this a try but after this I might just go back to the previous one.
My new IOPE air cushion foundation. I got this from Qoo10 as this brand is not available here locally. I was using the Etude House precious mineral cushion previously and decided to give this a try after seeing one of my friend who got and used it and I must say I really love the coverage and texture! it can conceals even the most obvious and darkest scars and gives out a moistful and dewy finish with SPF50 PA+++.  It comes in several different shades and finish, mine is in C21. The price wise I would say its rather affordable as it includes one casing with refill and sponge inside and an additional refill and sponge with no additional charge and the total amount I paid for was about $30++. I'm not sure about getting it straight from Korea though, might be cheaper or might not be. Perhaps anyone going to Korea soon or already got it from Korea can let me know? ^_~


For skincare, I got my favourite facial and eye mask, My Beauty Diary from the beauty sale at the Sample Store event a couple weeks ago. This is their new aroma series and mine is the citrus flavour for firming. Totally love the light refreshing citrus smell when I opened up. The size and cutting of the sheet mask is slightly bigger and different from their usual series which makes it adhere to skin even better, especially the chin area where you can fold the 2 flaps together. quality is also slightly thicker but when applied on face it becomes translucent. Totally loving it! ^3^ have not yet try out the eye mask though. =P

For supplements, I am recently taking this Milcolla 5000mg collagen powder from Suntory. This one pack is a 15days supply and I am almost nearing to finishing it soon. Best part of it is that it goes with anything! Coffee, tea, juice, soup, salad, food etc.. or even on its own! but I don't advise consuming the powder just like that by pouring it into your mouth as there might be risk of choking. You can mix with plain water and drink that's fine. =)  I usually mixed it with my cereal for breakfast or in my hot tea or hot chocolate. It doesn't change the smell or taste of the food yet you know you are taking in your daily supply of 5000mg (One spoonful which you can opt for the spoon or no) collagen. After my first week of intake, I do noticed that my pores gotten smaller and my face became less oily during the day and skin tone appears to be slightly brighter and radiant. Will definitely continue taking it to see the effectiveness.


(HAIR CARE)

Before I say anything, I would like to say to someone. "Thank you for getting me this product!" ^3^  Ever since I saw this on the Taiwan variety show Queen (Nu Ren Wo Zui Da), I have been wanting to get this and try it out. Its a sea salt spray that gives volume and you can sculpt your hair in any way you want. This brand is extremely hard to find here locally except in some wholesale beauty supplies store maybe. It's very convenient when I don't want to apply too much stuff on my hair yet want a voluminous look and some hold. ( I always use hair wax or those hair clay/mud). The texture is lightweight, easy to rinse off and doesn't gives a sticky texture and finish. I can foresee myself forever switching to this already. =P


(Accessories)

Now honestly, I'm not a hardcore watch collector but when I saw this watch Banc from Korea I just couldn't resist getting it. ( Not because its from Korea ok? XP) Their watch series comes in funky prints and colours on the leather strap and face which I think goes perfectly with any outfits and are great for a casual weekend or even work. I decided to got this black one to go for a chic and casual yet slightly classy look.




I also recently started my obsession with rings again and gotten these rings sets from Lovisa during their sale promotion Which was like 3 for $15..? I think.. I just think they are very pretty yet simple enough to go with any outfits and you can mix and match the rings in any way you want. =)






Ok. I think that's about all for today. Apologise if its not well done or well written as this is my first Haul blog entry, basically just sharing with you guys what I bought and items which I think are good to use. ^_^ Do feel free to leave a comment below or on my Facebook page Living Beauty or my Instagram SHARON_POW if you would like to see more of this kind of haul blog entries. (Which I think I might continue doing again. XD Sorry guys, don't mean to ignore your feelings and opinions)
 
Hope you all enjoyed today sharing and happy weekend! ^3^
