Starting with imomoko,com
The 3 boxes in the back are DHC's original cleansing oil, my pink one is half gone already, so decided to order some more. They were cheaper if I buy in bulk, so I got the 3 for $65 set. The small tube is the previously mentioned DHC acne spot treatment (I love this stuff), it also works for my brother (who has pretty bad acne problem). I also got him the face milk (lotion) from the same DHC line, he's been using it for a week now (I think), he didn't give me any reports yet..hahaha
This was something I got cuz of the crazy looking reviews (unfortunately they are all in Chinese, so I won't bother posting the links). I have pretty thick skin on the bottom of my feet for years. We've tried everything, including going to the doctors to get it frozen and cut off, it just continues to grow and grow and grow. And then few years back I tried this foot bath thing that is suppose to help the feet stop sweating and hence not as stinky, BIG mistake. I should have known nothing good can come from China products. It basically started peeling my entire feet, and I ended up with really thick skin on my heel too (didn't use to have that). I kind of gave up on my feet, now and then I'd use those foot stone thingys to try to remove the rough layer of the skin, but it;s still pretty thick. So after reading all the amazing reviews, I decided to give this a try.
The pictures on the back of the box look pretty amazing (and gross at the same time). I am hoping it works, other wise it's a lot of money for nothing (it's $18.99). I just tried this thing on couple days ago, the review and instruction says nothing will happen until the 3 day, so I am waiting for a miracle!
These are products my friends bought. The Queen's magazine, and 2 peeling gels, I also got the Legere one (purple box). And Ethan Ruan is sooooooo hot!!!!
These are the samples I got. The 2 green packets are the DHC oil cleanser, I am not sure why they gave me this when I ordered 3 bottles of it...obviously I like it, so I gave it to one of my friend that hasn't tried it yet. The pink tube is a hand cream, I have yet to try. And the white tube is another Legere bb cream that I asked a sample for, I have yet to try it yet.
few more shots of Ethan..damn he's so cuttee XD
and I love this picture of him! Wish I would have been able to open the wrapping and look inside, god damn it why is he taken! lol
So as mentioned previously, I also got a Legere peeling gel. This was also one product that i saw amazing reviews for, and decided to get it.
The packaging is unimpressive, but for skin care I generally don't care much for the packaging as long as the product works
List of ingredients
It's a jelly consistency, but when rubbed, it kinda melts and turns into a watery consistency, the smell is not very pleasant, but it's bearable
Even though the bottle says facial peeling gel, on the side of the box it actually says you can also use it on your knee, elbow, feet and other parts of the body. So I tried it on my knee, you can see the little white stuff coming off, suppose that's the dead skin cell being removed, my knee did feel smoother and less grey after I used it. But it is very drying, so you'll have to put on lotion right away.
next is the HaulteLook order
It's all Biotherm stuff. These are about half the price of how much they are sold at counters. This is my part of the order, the Age Fitness 2 line, of course! This set was $38, normally the cream would cost $62. I thought I bought the night cream, but turns out the cream was the day cream (hence the white cap). But I don't think it will matter, since Biotherm day cream doesn't have SPF anyways. The bottle is body lotion, and the tube is shower gel
This is the consistency of the shower gel. It's fairly watery, and has a citrus smell
After foaming it up, it's still pretty watery, I am not sure how I like the smell of it though.
Consistency of the lotion, again watery and citrus smell. I don't like the smell of the lotion for sure, normally I like citrus smells, but this is a bit too strong for my liking
The other part of the order is this set of Skin Vivo. This is for my mom. The day and night set came to 68 dollars, which is the normal price for ONE cream. I also saw this set at the counter, and they were selling it for 98 dollars. I gave my mom a sample of this when I got it as a gift with purchase, and she really liked it, so I got her the set.
And up next, the sasa.com order.
Beauty DIY is a brand from this skin care guru in Taiwan. Since the Kiehl's calendula toner, I've been looking everywhere to find a replacement, so far I only found the PRE chrysanthemum, which doesn't work as well as the calendula toner, and I am not totally happy about the smell (and it also stings my eyes a bit). So when I saw this on sasa I had to get it, it was $12 for 140ml, still not cheap, but definitely cheaper than Kiehl's $52 for 250ml
The mouth has a cap to prevent leaking. I like the bottle it's very much my style haha
Ingredient list
I just used this last night with a sheet mask, my redness and irritation from the extraction of my whiteheads went down a lot! The smell also is exactly the same as Kiehl's, except it doesnt have the flower bits in it, but I don't really care for the bits haha.
The other 2 items, one is hair treatment oil from Beauty DIY again, and the other is the strawberry yogurt mask from Laneige, which I heard good things about.
I know I said I don't really care for packaging when it comes to skin care, but nice packaging is always a plus! This strawberry yogurt mask's packaging is very pink and cute.
There's bits in the product makes it look like strawberry seeds, it also does indeed smell like strawberry yogurt,..haha I haven't tried this, but will do up a blog once I try it.
And this hair oil treatment was reviewed by Fuzkittie, and she made me want it!! My hair has been having crazy split ends (if I can take pictures next time I find some split ends I will), and it's been really dry and fuzzy at the ends, so I thought I'd try this out.
The bottle only shows one way of using the product: few drops of the oil and rub in the ends of the hair with tip of finger after shampoo
But the box shows other ways of using it.
1. After shampoo, rub a few drops in the ends of the hair, where split end shows with tip of finger
2. use as hair oil treatment, prior to shampooing, rub about 5ml of oil all over hair and wrap up with shower cap or plastic wrap, leave for 10 to 15 mins than wash off with shampoo
3. add a few drops in to shampoo and use as normal
4. add a few drops into conditioner and use as normal
you get the oil out with a pipette like thing, that's attached to the head of the bottle, it's very well made I must say. And this bottle wasn't too pricy either.
Sasa also included some cotton pads for free. I don't use cotton pads, so I am giving it to my friend.
This is what she ordered from the same order. So she's got the hair oil treatment and the strawberry yogurt mask like me. And she also got a Laneige hydrating emulsion thing.
Lastly...on this very long post...my order from ebay, just one item.
Skin 79 bb cream. I got this because a friend told me she really like it, and it had less discolouration compared to the Legere one I use (she also tried it). The Legere one has a reddish undertone, and shows up wayy too white on my face, the coverage is fair, but it also feels fairly thick, especially now that it's summer. So I've been looking for a thinner bb cream, and my friend suggested this brand. I also saw this brand on from head to toe, as well as the Taiwanese beauty show (Queen), and it looked good. I am disappointed though. It's very grey in colour, and though it's thinner so it doesn't make my face pale white, but the grey colour makes the darker areas on my face (i.e. under eye circle and around the mouth) look darker and greyish. It looks fine under yellow light, but under white light I look almost ashy. I tried it with a pink make up base I have, and it only helped slightly, I will have to figure out a way to better use this bb cream or I will have to throw it out. Maybe I can try mixing it with the Legere...I will do some experimenting for sure. The skin 79 bb cream does not have a lot of coverage, I don't know about the other benefits as I haven't tried it enough yet. But I suspect I will have to be trying other brands of BB cream again...
Well! that's it for now, until next time, live well and shop LOTS! :)
