Korean Beauty haul

This is one massive Korean cosmetics haul. I have picked up so many things that I don't even know how to start.
The items are from TheFaceShop, Tony Moly, Etude House, Holika Holika, Missha and Nature Republic. I am not sure if I missed out any brands.

Behold!

Never let me loose when I am Korean beauty items deprived or Asian beauty deprived to be exact.

I am gonna start out with Missha because I only picked out one item from Missha.
This is a repurchase.
Missha Misa Cho Bo Yang BB cream in #1.

This is the higher end range for Missha's BB cream.
I would say this is my HG BB cream for now. The coverage is really good, it last through the day and oil control is really good too! It makes my skin look so good!
It comes in a very expensive looking Oriental styled packaging.

Everything about this BB cream looks oriental even the scent.
It has this Ginseng scent which I do not mind. If you are not used to Chinese/Korean/Japanese oriental medicine scent. The very herbal scent. I think the scent will bother you but it will go away once applied on the face, it doesn't linger long.

It comes in a squeeze tube.

It comes with SPF30 PA++. Anything with SPF is good.
and 50ml worth of product. Not too bad.

Holika Holika!
I only picked up one item from Holika Holika.
Holika Holika Luminous Silk BB cream.
Now I am into achieving the luminous skin so I got this to try.

It comes with a pump dispenser.


The packaging is very cute.
The colour I got is the lightest 01 Light Beige. It comes with 50ml of product and SPF42 PA+++.

Nature Republic. I got mostly skincare from Nature Republic.

Nature Republic Pine Tree Urban Detox Essence.
I am using this everyday now. It comes with 40ml of product.
So far I can't comment about this product since I have been using it for about a week only.

It comes with a very chic glass bottle.
Most of Nature Republic's packaging is really chic.

Nature Republic's Star Product Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel.
This has become a HG of mine. I use it for anything and everything. 
It comes with a great amount of 300ml. I will definitely repurchase. 

This is purchase as a set with the Aloe Vera Gel. I had to fork out about RM5 extra to get this tiny BB cream. So I didn't mind.
Collagen BB cream. 

It is just a tiny BB cream in a squeeze tube. I think it comes with 10ml. 
Can't read the Korean.

Nature Republic Vanilla Sky Make Up Base in 02.
I got an extra makeup base in case I run out of my Etude House Makeup Base.

TheFaceShop.
I got their Star Product Raspberry Roots Sleeping Mask.
My friend even recommended me to get it. I have to get it since I am finishing my Etude House Sleeping Mask and that mask has been discontinued T_T

It comes with 100ml of product.

TheFaceShop Herbs Day Foam Cleanser in Lemon.

I got suckered in by the packaging. It is too cute to resist and it contains honey essence.

It comes in a cute frosted glass bottle and a spatula to scoop up the product.

I finally picked up Tony Moly's star product.
The Lip tints, I got in both colours Red Apple and Cherry Pink.

Red Apple.

Cherry Pink.

I got their Luminous Perfume Face Powder.
The packaging is very princessy.

Mine was choking powder when I got it. The powder was all over the container T_T.
Had to clean it.

It contains micro shimmers which is not very visible when applied on the face.

Here's a swatch.
Can see you see the slight luminosity?

Then my biggest haul is from Etude House.

Peel So Good Diamond Peel Foam Cleanser.
I needed a scrub so I got this.

Something I have been eying for the longest time. Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer in #1.



Etude House Magic BB Cream. I got this because it was 50% off.
It has 30ml worth of products and no SPF.

It comes in a pump dispenser tube. 

Aloha bronze skin maker.
My mum got this for me together three other products as a gift.

It comes with a base and bronzer.

My mum also got me this. Miss Tangerine Sweet Shower Lips.
She got me this in Pink.

Pink!

The last thing my mum got me. Wannabe Shine Finish Pact & Highlighter Duo in #1

The powder side and the small pink highlighter side.

Shini Star  Clear Pact in 02 Lavender.

Not a fan of SHINee but I just need a purple powder pact to cool my undertones at somedays.

Nicely engraved with the Shini Star logo.

Woo~Baby Lip Plumper.
It was on 50% off, I thought I did get a backup. I like to use this to top off any lipsticks with dryer formula. 

Golden Ratio Face Glam in 02 Pink.

I needed a liquid highlighter because I do not own any.
It comes with a liquid highlighter and cream highlighter.

Review : Lumene Moisturizing Cream Cleanser with Arctic Cloudberry


This is how the packaging looks like. Orang packaging with a blue cap.
It comes with 150ml of product for about 169roubles (after discount).

This cleanser comes with a really pleasing scent with a faint orange scent and some herbs which smells like the chinese herb my mum used to brew when I caught cough. Reminds me of home.
The texture is creamy and it slightly foams up with water.

This cleanser claims to remove makeup but I don't think it does a very good job on that area, a cleansing milk is still needed to thoroughly remove base makeup from the face. If it's a bare face, then it cleanses well.
It also claims it is moisturizing. I don't feel it is moisturizing too. I still have dry spots on my face especially on my nose. My skin there peels like snake all the time.

I actually broke out using this cleanser. I do not have sensitive skin so I rarely do breakout on products but this, made me break out pretty badly on my forehead.Actually I thought it is because of the weather but when I decided to change my cleanser to Acmedia face cleanser from Japan, my skin stopped acting up, the pimples subsided so the culprit is definitely this cleanser.

For its price, I think this cleanser don't worth what I pay for, I could get a better cleanser from brands like Hada Labo, Acmedia and Jujumoist.

Lookout for beauty in Russia

"Padroozhka". This is my new place for the lookout of girly stuffs like skincare and makeup.

I took this picture during mid-Autumn thus still all sunny.

Mini haul from that shop, nothing really special.

Yes, my Russian is still elementary level :(

Haven't seen this product around in my country. So it's a good try out.

Mini haul on skincare.

To the mini haul yesterday.
Some skincare items.
My skin has been acting up a little lately. I am starting to get whiteheads. Icks!
My facialist told me to change my facial products as the ones I use might be too hydrating for me that my skin can't absorb all.

From left : Bio-essense bio-hydra eye & lip dual makeup remover, Oxy oil control moisturizer and heme clear-it away facial wash.

Oxy is produced under Rohto-metholetum, the same company which produced Hada Labo
Heme is a Taiwanese brand and Bio-essence, I am not to sure.

Oxy's oil control moisturizer smells so good. Like grapes.

Got a new black headband too.
It was really cheap that's why i got it.
