Once you get out of the blogging mood, it really doesn't want to make you budge. My personal life has been very busy including new relationship, schoolwork, and stress from everything. Maybe I shouldn't be making excuses? I need to use blogging as an outlet to relieve stress!! :)<div><br /></div><div>Anyway I will be posting today a very belated one on a Secret Santa gift I received from Fuzkittie way back in the end of December.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAsJlzbkvQJR-wPYAH7CVRCfFyGxp7F5PKVfTkPY645Z3Ysyo44aYOzpky979SKmFbElaeiHnMoO5KU4JbpdTKnEOL8Jf2VVf1YZPTCdV943hRIm51HPC8_Wzkz7pJrziF7VXOBQHIFFve/s1600-h/P1083846edit.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAsJlzbkvQJR-wPYAH7CVRCfFyGxp7F5PKVfTkPY645Z3Ysyo44aYOzpky979SKmFbElaeiHnMoO5KU4JbpdTKnEOL8Jf2VVf1YZPTCdV943hRIm51HPC8_Wzkz7pJrziF7VXOBQHIFFve/s400/P1083846edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441276985907413570" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 297px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span id="fullpost"><br />Her gift included a very cute Christmas/New Year's card, two perfume samples, a L'Occitane lipgloss and cream set, and a JuJu Cosmetics primer.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLb-jJIsrebqgBpCtb1OljdE7SZwUb3jOPJWY24iUa9a5yslEBSRRPFCZs-M55lh24Sq4PxQJryuFe71A1NoXg4ULNPVpdYe1YaGN__G27RMbYkF-h9GprhK7g2MyH9qX8_dOpnQ0Sxnlk/s1600-h/P1143875edit.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLb-jJIsrebqgBpCtb1OljdE7SZwUb3jOPJWY24iUa9a5yslEBSRRPFCZs-M55lh24Sq4PxQJryuFe71A1NoXg4ULNPVpdYe1YaGN__G27RMbYkF-h9GprhK7g2MyH9qX8_dOpnQ0Sxnlk/s400/P1143875edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441277134016017474" style="cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The JuJu hyaluronic primer that I haven't even tried yet :( Can't put lots of base makeup because it has been causing me blemishes...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCWxHhds8MDDoqvHYXbPX63xQxDkfUJ7qrZa6lBwGUdtHRVmSdX2tW1SeJS2pD-S4jtMcN68DLwAkRVaPa8cPnOoJ7S2YxNEWWo3KHFPhm8wpENTH8KNIuV3GOARdFXm6jZm1lUEHKZt41/s1600-h/P1083849edit.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCWxHhds8MDDoqvHYXbPX63xQxDkfUJ7qrZa6lBwGUdtHRVmSdX2tW1SeJS2pD-S4jtMcN68DLwAkRVaPa8cPnOoJ7S2YxNEWWo3KHFPhm8wpENTH8KNIuV3GOARdFXm6jZm1lUEHKZt41/s400/P1083849edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441276990781693522" style="cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The hand cream is in Sweet Cherry and the lipgloss is also a Cherry Blossom flavor.

It is a very important date in Japanese Culture and it is called Isshuki (一周忌). I know this might be a morbid picture but my grandmother's family grave is very pretty! It is a quiet and private area with large space. I didn't travel to Japan only to visit a grave, of course I took advantage of the chance to go shop around and meet up with various members of family. I tried to plan to meet with some bloggers like Kay and Nic Nic but it didn't work out because Kay was busy and I didn't have enough time to meet Nic :( However I will try to meet them again next time!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I hope I will not give up blogging. I still read people's blogs daily but I am very lazy to update my own. Blogging is really fun for me and I've met a lot of genuine people.

I also used this for blow drying on damp/half dried hair. The grip doesn't have any nubs on it, but it is still easy to use. The bristles also didn't pull at my hair too much, so I didn't have massive hair fall-out for this brush.

It's another mask... Yeah I know I've been only reviewing masks these days but I haven't been applying makeup lately due to stress induced acne (so sad right?)<br /><br />Also I've been having some ear piercing infection problems since last week. I first got my earlobe pierced in August so my piercing is not that old yet. I wear all 14-18k gold/white gold earrings so not a problem with the metal allergy. Last week I had some yellowish puss, redness and swelling but I did a hot water sea salt bath for my ear everyday for 1 wk. I shouldn't have stopped but this week my ear seemed to be normal so I stopped. However now it's getting itchy again and my earlobe is still swollen (no redness though). I don't think it's really necessary to go to the doctor since there's no puss or bleeding. Right now I'm doing the salt bath again and using the solution from the piercing place. What do you all do when you get piercing infections?<br /><br />Anyway on to the review!<div><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Kose Clear Turn White Hyaluronic Acid Mask</b></div><div style="text-align: center; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPSFtDye4XT6AAmr64IHCKpNMtgMpnXdMaSLLdpjCw3plGrGFqxamYjke3jifRaPOiyPktByfdtECng0kksJ6I85nZv3k10m6EZJhWWKfjTOjZ2k-znRBdqWauT47_yDiuNi5g8wkHvukI/s400/DSC07721edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401623793668160178" style="cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 400px; " /></div><br /><span id="fullpost"><br /><span id="fullpost"><div style="text-align: center; ">This mask is sometimes available in Mitsuwa but I would recommend checking Sasa out</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2RpxvqP4R-QmmXFp8DNE6ti_UUcKqQZT1i-6QvWZNky7MhcgBoPiGub7bEXvh0aheiSkLyIte0IcqLbADw6XpIGcovv4Vw6y41gF-Qzft_k_kEzBG7kY73GMr0W1iZg0Txhs4lf650U2a/s400/DSC07723edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401623795948890146" style="cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">Instructions and some details about how hyaluronic acid works.

Sniff before buying.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Packaging is a little annoying to remove entire plastic cap (but not that big of a deal)</div><div><br /></div><div><span id="fullpost"><b>What I think:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is my first drugstore lipstick purchase in a LONG LONG time. I was hesitant to buy any lipstick from the drugstore after I experienced bad smelling, bad tasting stuff. This lipstick totally changed my perception of Maybelline lip products because it wasn't as nasty smelling as some other stuff in drugstores. I personally don't like lipsticks or any lip product that smell like roses or the "old lady smell." I am very sensitive to scents and I get nauseous if something too fragrant is on me for too long. This lipstick smells a bit like coconut or some buttery smell. It's not too bad but if you apply a lot it might be a tad strong. And as I stated above, BE CAREFUL, some batches were not good and the smell was terrible (like chemical).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I like this lipstick a lot, the color is buildable and I personally like a light hand for my lips. Usually I apply a lipbalm beforehand and then use this lipstick. Or if I want more shine, apply lipbalm, lipstick, then lipgloss.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have pigmented lips, I believe this lipstick can cover the color of your natural lips if applied with a heavy hand.

FOTD is kind of out of the question since I don't have time to take a picture in the morning and most times the makeup has faded a bit by the time I come home. But I'll try one day!! :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">Product Review: Etude House 02 White Mask Sheet</span></div><span id="fullpost"></span><div style="text-align: center; "><span id="fullpost"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwicjiXS8RscmW3gCGwJoNOtW-ID4aPdWypQRfdDqOdkbx_TDgT-iy_S3-nj3GPGZent3MhSH-3czh7tsqXvlOoj1trgrTs3MrtBJ-7F0I1twd89NSkczoTz5JSwPvemM-_pBC0zDeCKt7/s400/DSC07120edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384518952954912898" style="cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 400px; " /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span id="fullpost"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So this post will cover a review on the Etude House O2 White Mask Sheet. I got this mask from <b><a href="http://mmmiu.blogspot.com/">Millie (Miu Miu)</a></b> in a love pack back in July in return for some hair care things I sent her. I read somewhere that this mask is not actually a store product and is only offered as a free sample with purchase. The real product is called <b>Etude House 02 White Mask </b>and it comes in a big tub<b>.</b> You can read full reviews on the original product here at <a href="http://nlng-beautyworld.blogspot.com/2009/09/is-something-fluffy.html"><b>Ning*Star</b></a> and <a href="http://amynaree.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-etude-house-o2-white-mask.html"><b>Amynaree</b></a>.</div></span><div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I didn't know what to think of this product when I first looked at it. I wasn't sure whether it was supposed to make my face "breathe" better or whiten it. Then I just guessed that it would be a whitening mask, after all, the WHITE is rather capitalized. Also I'm not able to read Korean so I didn't know what its main features were.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Scary Mask Pic:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5JUiJ5rYtIPXzfPDxOVPEQLztY5RKjkvg15fVYNeQjrbMLNwkZvqxHd-mmNZwORX9oB57BfFIP9GYqBD31sK4arChHXAgYmRZuirl5zewJALJ-7GEm9K5D7gQ3Va7t0RCuHricddT5UF/s400/DSC07121edit.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384518944685533778" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Pros</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Whitened my face! A lot! Noticeable difference. I had uneven skin tone because I had gone scuba diving and got a weird uneven tan on my face... This mask improved the overall appearance of my skin tone</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Very soft and velvety mask material -- definitely not cheap material. It was thick, moist, and fit very well to my face. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Scent was not overpowering and pleasant soapy/flowery perfume scent</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Liquid smoothed my skin and did not leave a sticky residue</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Slight tingly feeling when applied on my face</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Cons</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">- This product is not sold in stores (I believe). Comes only in a tub, which is the original product. I received this as a gift and I read on some other blog that it was only offered as a GWP or something. However original tub product is available on Etude House USA website.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- It was scented -- I like unscented products. Sometimes I get scared that perfumes will irritate my skin but this scent was neither powerful or irritating! :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Final Result</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="fullpost"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhitBvsHzKSFc2GWRU-LG-7-xghRjxWxGoz-vnHvT0U3PDKN0FeKhmWtQjMlo9OaG_Kx_qockZw1LjJP9i3KTtuozCWqc12E0xzt2773jlOAEM8LkzZAeHLCm-cF84u-imVDNkYawpEsenM/s400/DSC07127edit.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384518939959574130" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span id="fullpost">My skin is glowing!!! :) I like to use masks at least once a week or so. I used this one last week and prepared photos for a blog entry but didn't get to do a post last week. I wish this product was sold in stores because I really like it. Some people said that the original product that comes in the tub is not as pleasant smelling - like somehow chemical smelling? Not really sure... But now I want to get my hands on the tub product since I like this one so much. I have one more of this mask that I got from Millie so I'm going to save it when I really need it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Overall Rating</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">5/5 - hope to purchase in tub form</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span id="fullpost">Hopefully this week I will be able to update again. During the weekend it is harder to update nowadays because of my part time job. I can't even wear nail polish... T_T So what I do is I apply polish either on Sunday night after I finish my job or Monday and then remove on Saturday night. Other than that I'm busy with school work and college applications (ugh my god. Help me! lol!)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hope the review was helpful and the next review should be the Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick! :) Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them for you.</div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13511800356053216907noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6225892007210496884.post-42901506835485433602009-09-17T21:10:00.017-04:002009-11-18T19:54:34.344-05:00Makeup Sale #7 - UPDATED 10/17/09<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><b>UPDATED AND LOWERED PRICES ON 10/17/09 </b></span><br /></span><span id="fullpost"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'Times New Roman';"><div style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; width: auto; font: normal normal normal 100%/normal Georgia, serif; text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Rules</span></span></div><div style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; width: auto; font: normal normal normal 100%/normal Georgia, serif; text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:Georgia;font-size:13px;"><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Purchase</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">:</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- Paypal Only</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- Final Sale, no re<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';">turns</span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- First come, first serve</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- Items shipped <span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';">after payment cleared</span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- Shipping calcu<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';">lated on items purchased</span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">How to Order</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- Email me!

Glad to inform you that I entered Fuz and Mel's youtube contest... it took me hours (haha more like days) to finish everything! But I'm happy at the outcome.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I finally made a video.... wow I couldn't even make a picture tutorial before but look at me now! Haha!

But I did get lazy after I passed the age that I was allowed to get pierced ears.. hehe.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The look was done using the L/E eyeshadow palette from Maquillage featuring Alexander Wang. It's quite nice for a neutral palette, I really liked the purple cream liner but wasn't too crazy about the neutral shades--kind of overdone perhaps? But it is a nice palette! Will do swatches and maybe a review later.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My entry was an inspired fashion slideshow and makeup tutorial on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Don't know if it really whitens. Well.. it kinda does. It makes my skin luminous in the morning.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. <b><a href="http://www.dhccare.com/DHC/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=170&Catalog=DHC+USA">Balancing Lotio</a></b><a href="http://www.dhccare.com/DHC/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=170&Catalog=DHC+USA"><b>n</b></a> - alternate between several different alcohol free toners. I like DHC Olive Leaf Lotion as well, or Acerola... whatever my mood is, or need to finish. This one is pretty gentle, but not amazing. It just keeps my skin normal.. haha.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. <b><a href="http://www.imomoko.com/product_detail.php?ID=700">Kevin Beautymaker Aquamarine Hydrating Serum</a></b> - Like this a lot. But when I got a tan, didn't fully keep my dry/sundamaged skin hydrated as much as I'd liked. But recommend this item.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. <b><a href="http://www.imomoko.com/product_detail.php?ID=700">Kevin Beautymaker Aquamarine Hydrating Lotion</a> </b>- Great product, again same as above. Keeps skin hydrated for normal conditions (not super dry skin)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. <b><a href="http://www.kiehls.com/_us/_en/face/moisturizers/ultra-facial-moisturizer-spf-15.htm">Kiehls Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF15</a> </b>- Love the moisturizing, wish they have one with more SPF, at least SPF 30. I like this because it's not greasy at all and absorbs really nicely. Repurchased many times!</div><div style="text-align: justify;">6. <b>Biore UV Moist Face Milk in SPF 50+ PA +++</b> - Nice, not that moisturizing as it claims, I need that Kiehls one before I apply this. I just want the SPF protection. This has a powdery finish so it is good for makeup base. For summer I guess this is moderately moisturizing, but not for winter!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Night</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi34uOgXjrdR-RQJG6ckkFf7_b_Lpp4-z5Au2z8h_Rs3F3Rc0xD0aDEM0HXQ1_CRRbyWiR16skvG2efvgzyeBSSjPDRR3UiZn1qWuG-Zl7jIDT49L_N5No6iFhSyTPDSbjUq9c09SQlV-8p/s1600-h/P9013344edit.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi34uOgXjrdR-RQJG6ckkFf7_b_Lpp4-z5Au2z8h_Rs3F3Rc0xD0aDEM0HXQ1_CRRbyWiR16skvG2efvgzyeBSSjPDRR3UiZn1qWuG-Zl7jIDT49L_N5No6iFhSyTPDSbjUq9c09SQlV-8p/s400/P9013344edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376683332641226802" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">1. <b><a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P54477&categoryId=B70">Lancome </a></b><b><a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P54477&categoryId=B70">Bi-Facil Eyemakeup Remover</a> </b>- Love this! I have so many sample size bottles so I don't have to buy the full-size. Hehe. Almost done with this bottle. I'm going to reuse the bottle and fill it with my Neutrogena eyemakeup remover...</div><div style="text-align: left;">2. <b><a href="http://www.dhccare.com/DHC/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=300&Catalog=DHC+USA">DHC Deep Cleansing Oil</a></b> - Makeup remover, oil cleanser. Removes much of my makeup, even stubborn mascara. Scent is kinda herbal, but overall good. Not as oily as Shu Uemura.. Somehow I don't like Shu cleansing oil because the oiliness feeling remains. This doesn't have that problem.</div><div style="text-align: left;">3. <b><a href="http://web2.sasa.com/SasaWeb/eng/product/viewProductDetail.jspa?itemno=103963705001">Rohto Hadalabo Hyaluronic Gokujyun Facewash</a></b> - Loving this.

Great product.</div><div style="text-align: left;">4. <b><a href="http://www.dhccare.com/DHC/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=268&Catalog=DHC+USA">DHC Olive Leaf Lotion</a></b> - Great toner! Repurchased at least 5-6 times. Used for many years, I will continue using this. A little pricy I think $38 for one bottle? But I like it... Keeps my spots from showing up! Even though I'm young, I am very prone to getting spots on my face after sun exposure. And they are like the beauty mark spots, so they are pretty dark and prominent!</div><div style="text-align: left;">5. <b><a href="http://www.dhccare.com/DHC/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=639&Catalog=DHC+USA">DHC Q10 Lotion</a> </b>- I ran out of the Olive Leaf one so now I'm using this. Haha I just kept the empty bottle to show you guys... This one is $36 per bottle. I like this, very moisturizing.</div><div style="text-align: left;">6. <b><a href="http://www.dhccare.com/DHC/ProductDetail.aspx?Catalog=DHC%20USA&ProductID=269">DHC Olive Leaf Milk</a> </b>- Great moisturizer, but I usually use something over this winter and summer. This is not enough moisture by itself for me! But it's a great product, makes my skin so soft and smooth, prevents lots of skin damage from sun and other harsh weather.</div><div style="text-align: left;">7. <b><a href="http://www.imomoko.com/product_detail.php?ID=742">Kevin Beautymaker Skin Repair Wakening Gel</a></b> - This is pretty nice, love the cooling sensation. I used to use Shiseido's Pureness line gel moisturizer but this is nice too, little different. I like the hydrating feature, but again, it's just good for maintaining moisture for normal conditions. I got a little tan and tanned skin tightens up and gets dry, this didn't really moisturize THAT much. But like this overall. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Special Care Items</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFA4FISK2UEwXeKUahAFx0RDqthlZZHMidVv2WFd80TYCLKkMoVNCpZVnZyhOUWzPhMBVaPIHKr2GOZN2sIK4tTEdwpCasrQQUNtgH_Rd9S8RkWnD0eKUKs2P1jVmfzKFhY-YQg-wbdOhS/s1600-h/P9013346edit.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFA4FISK2UEwXeKUahAFx0RDqthlZZHMidVv2WFd80TYCLKkMoVNCpZVnZyhOUWzPhMBVaPIHKr2GOZN2sIK4tTEdwpCasrQQUNtgH_Rd9S8RkWnD0eKUKs2P1jVmfzKFhY-YQg-wbdOhS/s400/P9013346edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376683329874149650" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1.

Clear Turn White Mask by Kose</b> - Big 22 sheet box, great for everyday or every other day use. Good enough for daily use.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>3. Burt's Bees Pomegranate Replenishing Lipbalm </b>- Love this! I hated the scent at first but now I love it... how weird. I'm almost done with it, gotta repurchase! LOL. Started using this after I ran out of my La Mer lip balm. Gah gotta buy that La Mer one too. The reason I like this is you don't have to stick dirty fingers in the pot, like La Mer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>4. DHC Pimple Spot</b> - Not sold in USA DHC. Like this a lot.. it's like potent salicylic acid. I'm not sure what it exactly is, but it's very fluidy liquid, not a cream or ointment. It shrinks my pimples! I don't get many breakouts of zits or acne but the occasional pimple will die with this in hand!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">Extra Note:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">1.

Partially.<div>Updating with slightly slow internet from an island called Bonaire (one of the Netherland Antilles--Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire).</div><div>I am on vacation with my parents and we are scuba diving!</div><div><br /></div><div>All sounds well except for the fact that the plane to Bonaire from Newark was a disaster!</div><div>I've been to Bonaire 5 times, this is the 5th year and I've never experienced such a problem with Continental airline service...</div><div>The plane's weather radar went kaput, and they were not allowed to fly the aircraft with such a condition, thus we turned back around after 30 min of taking off and flying. But the "turning around" took about 2 extra hours: probably due to making sure the new aircraft was ready and "turning around" = circling around.</div><div><br /></div><div>Landed back to Newark around 3 am, left Newark around 12 am before. The crew promised to quickly board onto the new aircraft, which would take only 30 minutes since the flight was not full, capacity was 140, 70 passengers aboard. Another lie! -_-;</div><div>Everyone was waiting in the new gate when suddenly a woman pulled up with her handy dandy golf cart contraption. "I'm sorry but you'll have to take this flight tomorrow morning at 11 am."</div><div><br /></div><div>Ok... supposedly the crew went illegal and were not supposed to fly within their hours. That's fine. But tomorrow morning at 11am? Why not earlier?</div><div><br /></div><div>Then everyone went through the whole process of booking hotels through Continental and food vouchers, all that stuff. It's their loss! hahaha.</div><div>So I stayed in an airport hotel (luckily it was a nice one!). I didn't have any change of clothes but did have emergency necessities such as: toothpaste, toothbrush, skincare samples, eyedrops, etc etc. </div><div><br /></div><div>The next morning we departed the hotel at 8 am to be at the gate by 9 am, then leave Newark at 11 am. Everyone was there... but two. I guess they missed the flight, and it took another 20 min for the staff to remove their baggage from the plane.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, arrival time was 4 pm, lost a whole day of diving, but all was fine! It wasn't an awfully stressful experience at all... The people were cooperating so nicely because they were tired and understanding... haha! </div><div><br /></div><div>So I'm not really updating on any beauty stuff since this internet is so slow to upload any pictures right now, and I'm ready to pass out any minute! :D</div><div><br /></div><div>Hope to update again soon and thanks for all comments on my birthday! Love you all :)</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13511800356053216907noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6225892007210496884.post-11657038912390052502009-08-20T13:21:00.009-04:002009-08-22T01:00:45.336-04:00Review: Hada Labo Hyaluronic Face Wash + Giveaway WinnerToday's review will be about the <b>Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Face Wash by Rohto</b>. Phew, long name!<div>I got this in Japan because I forgot my facewash on my trip. I paid 732 yen in the drugstore, which is not too expensive. </div><div>This can be purchased online at these places for a reasonable price:</div><div><b><a href="http://web2.sasa.com/SasaWeb/eng/product/viewProductDetail.jspa?itemno=103963705001">Sasa - Gokujyun Face Wash - $7.50</a> <-- cheaper!!</b></div><div><b><a href="http://www.imomoko.com/Chinese/product_detail.php?ID=212">Imomoko - Gokujyun Face Wash - $12.00</a><br /></b><div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibj5Gt_Fb8GCG9fSBotxE1VAaLJqhpTu1xev3Bomc1yPUv7fBCcWUq99conMwOVNUwr7uUygWiVVJElI-AZg9h1hs2Yi2nFAOLPOe4iPmRzwx4-BIZKm-Vpwx25Fi9q9LB8IDBMLy5xzNg/s400/DSC06593edit.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372102225620648354" /></div><div><br /></div><div>So what is <b>Hyaluronic Acid</b>?</div><div>- <b>It is a very common ingredient in skin care products and plays an integral role in maintaining and regulating moisture. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in all body tissue, with the highest concentration in the exterior matrix of the skin. </b></div><div><b></b>But we all lose the concentration of hyaluronic acid in our bodies as we grow older so it is important to replenish it with our skin care products! :)</div><div><br /></div><div>This is how the face wash looks, it is a pure white color. The packaging says that there is no scent, no color, no alcohol and oil-free. This is great because I don't really like scented products, I'm very sensitive to scent and I get nauseous if they are too overpowering. </div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr7Um3T_wKS5eAASL9J-pJ8nSvTMc6aB68kcvjGR42UGwY12Oa1bxLLG8D61njKwiDqqsaov_5bJn-hn2xNOZtlBPqhOAjFQJwgfi4Ywk4qcW82V-KVqolMoUsmFnX2G-mDkIIre5GhMWZ/s400/DSC06594edit.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372102217815928994" /></div><div><br /></div><div>Spread out onto the skin, of course if you had more water it will become a little bit more foamy but I don't think this has sulfates so it doesn't foam up that much at all.

When I did a portion of my hand, only that spot was soft and the other areas were not as soft.</div><div>- No strong scent (maybe very mild soap scent), no colorant, no alcohol, no oil</div><div>- Not that expensive</div><div>- Hada Labo line includes many other products like moisturizer, face mask sheets, toner, and more (same Hyaluronic Acid type or others like AHA/BHA and etc.)</div><div>- Easy dispenser, tube</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Cons</b></div><div>- Not enough product, when I bought mine it was like 75-80% full, now I only have like 50% left</div><div>- Japanese product so not readily available in the States but accessible through online retailers</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Overall</b></div><div>I really love this face wash, it is very moisturizing, it doesn't strip any original moisture on my face. Also I love that there is no strong scent! The consistency is not that watery, more like thick milky texture. I have another facewash that I love, it is the DHC one. That one foams up more like regular soap but it is as moisturizing but it has an herbal scent (rosemary-ish).</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Rating</b></div><div>4.5/5: 1/2 point off for not enough product</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Giveaway Results:</b></div><div>Wow this giveaway was really fun, I liked everyone's answers to my questions and got a feel of what you all want to read about.

Has anybody been paying attention to the Next Food Network Star show? I didn't know Food Network was in Chelsea Market!!

It's a nice change for once.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij39b77wvCozCag0Vc2E5YL5x7UvW9IRkAN_il9nrEbHX3H76L9dAi-hSWwq8dQdWGK85csS4Qy-ZPgzvwSqp_JEmvrkj_KPtVxbYS4ku9Uj1oImCj8YoF5EKl4JUajWc7_cItpDkpjuBM/s400/DSC06589edit.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371119322323789506" /></div><div>Moderate layers to give it a flow structure.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7RNfjUyvvZWHUhcS7dZ4jNLQLd9xPCmSzcRzLvjgOSa0Prlxv67VHWi8-piaPO5RYSGorXq0I4Z9DZx1kSolJmLOg9r77GtswtrajLwwWmIorugDLYcvg8lY80wNgeDZYtLBiGnkRRGqu/s400/DSC06587edit.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371119304321733906" /></div><div>Ok this has got to be the most unflattering picture of me T_T</div><div>But you can see what I mean by A-line bob :)</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJV-zOydban3j_LtCME1C17Qct89TJbmntdWe3AuwKq0v8a9PXElwA-3ml9-gN1AjnKTVLaHjaDn20qM4Ea-BPgwD461FukfaDjO5TiChFMc4K33mpPuMgx5vdpfCRu5WNDp8bGHtuYaMD/s400/DSC06588edit.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 326px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371119311517894514" /></div><div>Sigh... ok side view. It's kind of a wispy feel. Very light, layered, and thinned out. If you have bob hair, it looks terrible if your hair is heavy and thick. You might risk looking like a lamp shade from behind. You want to have lighter layers and some movement.</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJAd4IVJ1tiaY1Zfltjn5IcjLzQiU-G94lFEQli447AYYmegEg-q1Cr5LeTJCq1LC4bJT8muRlt9MDaiGhe2-0_c6G7QyWD9eJvBK1lRGNotugu5YYxPW0kKxHV_u6owQHAexXC_hBVUk1/s1600-h/DSC06549edit.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJAd4IVJ1tiaY1Zfltjn5IcjLzQiU-G94lFEQli447AYYmegEg-q1Cr5LeTJCq1LC4bJT8muRlt9MDaiGhe2-0_c6G7QyWD9eJvBK1lRGNotugu5YYxPW0kKxHV_u6owQHAexXC_hBVUk1/s400/DSC06549edit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371139189231054402" style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div>My wonderful stylist to the left, Miho-san! :) I feel like a giant next to her because she is very short... but I am only 5'2"!</div><div><br /></div><div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRofgDXcYR4sYSb8RMDRnJT2TGdBtpkkEDGRtK9tUyQY5qDOv8_IlbmNFVsh0G-LTvPtpY5-hw1tENpNPjfk86qtXlArKKnrO9J4A2Pt3WwlNueZ3ft_acKch7keIh3BxYo_DfZhLvVgI/s400/DSC06625edit.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371120549209488178" /></div><div>My FOTD that I can't post the pics of the eyes T_T</div><div>After a shampoo this is what my hair looks like naturally.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>I bought an ice shaver.
