Love Package from Lil Lady's Life

I’ve been very lucky on blogspot! (I wish I was this lucky in life lol)
I’m very thankful for all the bloggers :] Always so nice ^__^

& I’m very sorry that I can’t also give back to everyone with giveaways (hope you understand!)
Anyways…lol

A little while ago I won Lil Lady’s Life’s giveaway…I’m always excited about receiving prizes but this time I was jumping out of my seat with joy! :D


Why..? Because the prizes included the MAC Stereo Rose MSF (ahh!!) & Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus = Double the happiness :]

And she was so sweet and included a lot of samples (great for me since I’m still trying to find things that work best for me)^__^

Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

*Message to Lil Lady’s Life: Thank YOU for the giveaway and blogging :] And the MSF came in one piece!*


Nothing special about the package…BUT wait for the contents that were inside :]



So many samples! My collection of samples just keeps growing :P


Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus.
I can’t wait to try this out. But I’m going to have to look around for how others take it off since I heard it is very very hard to remove it >__<


Guess what’s inside…!


Tada!! (lol excuse my expressions if you think it’s too corny :X)



H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment (Oil-Free), Bad Gal Plum, B&BW Midnight Pomegranate Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Gel, & MAC Stereo Rose MSF

Thank you a bunches (again lol)!!! ^__^


I’ve only tried the H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment and I think it’s been really helping with my dry patches. Must go and find the H20+ store in NYC!

Is it fake?

Help! Help! Help!

Yesterday I had the time to make a trip to Chinatown to walk around the beauty shops.
I remembered seeing some of the Hada Labo range at one of the shops I usually browse around and decided to get it.

I usually don’t doubt the authenticity of products (even though it is always better to be on the safe side), I went ahead and googled pictures to compare the labels on the ones other bloggers posted and the one I had.

And…they’re different!! Ahh >__< There is Japanese the label, but there is also quite a lot of Chinese. It didn’t click to me when the SA at the store was reading it off to me in Chinese :X

I hope it is because it’s from Hong Kong (at least I think it is…), whereas most bloggers who blogged about the product were from Singapore/Malaysia.

If anyone has seen packaging like the one that I have, please let me know so I can calm myself and use this product happily :[

Maybe I'm just over thinking this?...What do you guys think?


This is the one that I got.



The only one that is closest to mine that I’ve seen.



The one that is most similar to the ones other bloggers have.


Here are the differences.

Review: Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil

Kose Softymo Speeding Cleansing Oil




Can anyone read what it says (especially the ingredients)? I would like to know if it has mineral oil or any other ingredient that might be harmful, thank you!


That’s a little less than half a pump. You can’t see the consistency but it’s pretty liquidy, not thick at all.

Price:
From ebay ~USD$11(not including shipping);
From Sasa ~USD$12.70 (Bottle with product + Refill);
I bought mine from a beauty store in Chinatown for ~USD$10.

Package: Pump bottle with 230ml. I use 1-1.5 pumps when I’m only wearing powder, blush, concealer. And ~2 pumps if I’m wearing BB Cream/foundation/tinted moisturizer.

Positives:
-Leaves my face pretty clean.
-Doesn’t have a fragrance, but the smell isn’t exactly pleasant (I can’t really describe it though, definitely isn’t a vulgar scent..)
-Can be found in some beauty stores/pharmacies in Chinatown in NYC
-Inexpensive
-Did NOT break me out!
-Can buy refills if you do like it (the beauty store that I got this from did not sell refills, but it is available online)

Negatives:
-Not available locally for some
-Might be over priced compared to prices in Asia
-My vision becomes a bit cloudy afterwards especially if I massage the cleansing oil around my under-eye area to dissolve(I think that’s how cleansing oil work..? lol) my concealer
-Made my skin feel very tight and dry after washing it off

Repurchase?: No. Like I said, it made my skin feel tight afterwards and I had dry patches. I don’t like the feeling of my face being so dry and stripped of moisture :[ I usually take off my makeup before I shower and then wash my face with a cleanser a couple of hours later after I brush my teeth (complicated but it makes sense to me lol). Moisturizing will probably help but then I’d be moisturizing 3x a day..too much for my combination skin IMO

Rating: 3/5
It’s an average cleansing oil. I like it because it is not expensive, but my skin just feels soo dry after using it. I can’t say too much for eye makeup/waterproof makeup because I don’t own/use any. It may work well for you, but everyone is different so I can say.

Recommend?: Maybe. If you can find it and would like to give it a try, sure. It is not expensive so it won’t leave a hole in your wallet, but I’m sure there are better ones out there…Again, it might work for some people. I guess I’m just not fortunate enough to find a cheap cleansing oil that doesn’t dry my skin out :\

These are just my opinions so please research more about a product before buying it. I'm just trying to share the experiences I get from using certain product. I'm not endorsing it or anything. If anything this is for my own memory of what I liked and what I didn't like. Also...my skin is my skin...your skin is your skin, please don't blame me if the product doesn't work for you >__<;; After I finish this or close to finishing it, I will be looking for another cleansing oil. Anyone have suggestions? I have a few in mind & will be walking around to compare prices when I have time! lol
