Hermo cyber sales haul : masks!

Hermo had a bundle special for their cyber sales. It was 3 items for RM49 for selected items.
I saw these masks available in the bundle and I got pretty excited and purchased them right away.

I got the Pearl Bird's Nest Mask, Apple Polyphenol Platinum Mask and Black Pearl Q10 Mask.

These Sister Diary mask usually retails for around RM42 per box (correct me if I am wrong) in Watsons/Guardian. This is such a steal.
I haven't tried Sister Diary before but I have tried My Beauty Diary. They are similar in terms of packaging.

Shipping was very slow for Hermo for these mask mainly because one of them were out of stock and they were trying to get it restocked. In the end, they explained to me how their supplier could not get it restocked asap and they had to wait till around December to get the stock,so, they asked me to change my order to another available flavour to avoid the dreadful long wait.
I changed my Cherry Arbutin Mask to the Pearl Bird's Nest Mask.

The functions of the masks are :
Black Pearl Q10 - Brightening and improving skin elasticity
Apple Polyphenol Platinum - Pore minimizing and oil control
Pearl bird's Nest - Whitening and Moisturizing

I will try them out as soon as I am done with my old batch of mask and see how much I like them and is it worth repurchasing.
Also, hoping Hermo has more sales like this. 

Naturalia!

Finally my parcel arrived. Sure took the courier man long enough. Everytime I go to the site to check on updates of my parcel's status, it is always withheld at courier office.

This is the first time trying handmade beauty items.
As promised by my seller no artificial colouring, preservatives and fragrance.

I only got two items since I want to try them out before buying more.

I got a base and a sleeping mask.

Rose petals sleeping mask.
The smell is nowhere near rose fragrance we always smell. It only has very faint rose smell and the rest smells really planty.
I don't know how to describe.

The base.
It is very liquidy! So I was a bit shocked by the consistency.
It is very white so i guess the base suits fairer skintones if not it would look like chalk on the face.

Wanna be sweet??

I visit Etude House so frequently they should just honour me as their VIP customer.
I wish Etude House would have customer loyalty programmes, imagine all the points I could just earn.
Anyway, here's a Etude House haul.

Etude House has always drawn me with their super cute packaging and they always have sales.

Etude House mask, these are RM15 for 5 pieces.
I like Etude House mask, they are cheap and they work well, for me.

Etude House Yogurt and Honey wash off mask.
I never tried these before, the cute packaging drawn me in and they were on sale for 2 for RM15. Why not jump the bandwagon and try it.

Samples of the Sun BB that they have given me.
I have a lot of samples from Etude House but they are just in my room somewhere. There was once they gave me a whole bath set.

This is something I have eying for quite a long time. I have their older version of volumer.
It works pretty well for me because my skin isn't too oily, so I don't look like a frying pan after hours.

This is their new Nymph Aura Volumer in #3

It is more expensive than their older two volumer. I had the #1 Pure.
The consistency of this is less thick and sticky than #1.

The new one comes with their motto "Wanna be Sweet? Play Etude!"

I got this for RM72 with some change after discount. Pretty pricey.

Comes in a pretty white with some pink iridescent bottle with a pump.

polka dotsies.

Today I went out karaok-ing with my college besties. I has been awhile since I met some of them.
I really miss the times with them.

Just posting an EOTD.

I have been in love with TheDollyEye Circle Brown lens. Best natural lens ever, blends with my eye colour so well.
I tried a new eyeshadow today, Max Factor's eyeshadow in Walnut which I bought in Moscow.
The colour is a warm chocolate brown. It's pretty on its own.

FOTD

Got myself to try the Holika Holika Watery Petit BB Cream.
The colour is a fair beige. Suits NC15-25 the best.
The BB cream had light to medium coverage. It improves skin tone very well.
It has a very nice floral frangrance. I love the scent a lot.

A very tiny haul from Watsons. They were having a buy one get another 50% off on selected sheet masks.
So I picked out the mask I wanted to try out the most, I.myss mask from Korea.

The spoke people from the masks are 2AM, one of my friend really likes one of the members ^.^;;
Korean brands love to find idols to endorse their product.

One more thing I got is a Maybelline eyeliner. For days I am so lazy to use a gel eyeliner. Pencil eyeliner is faster.

up-lifting.

I finally jumped on the bandwagon. I used to hear many rave reviews about this product. I still being quite young, I never paid any attention to this product but of late everybody (Asians) seems to be crazy about V-shape face line.

It is highly sought after and most celebrities have this pretty V-shape small shape. Big jaw line is definitely not attractive, in Asia atleast. 

Let me introduce to you Bio-essence Face Lifting Cream with ATP.

It promises to achieve a V-shape line face after use. 

I don't know it works yet because I have been using this for about 3-4 days but I felt like it sort of like firmed my face a little already.

I need to use more before I get give a definite review.

For 40g of product, this is a pretty expensive drugstore product. Without discount it is priced at RM105 or so but after discount, I got mine for about RM74 at Watsons (much cheaper than Guardian).

Another thing I got off Watsons is Sophie Monk masks. It was on sale. 

Buy one get 50% off.

Sophie Monk mask are good in lifting. 

I got the Whitening and Pore minimizing. 

Mask loot!

I was talking about the harsh weather in the previous post. It ain't gonna stop there.

Today it hit -20+ degree celcius again. I really hope tonight doesn't go down to -26 degree celcius as forecasted. 

Here is my mask loot!

I love paper mask like all the Asians do. 

Vilenta mask with moisturizer cream

Vilenta is a Russian brand. So far I have tried a few of their masks. It is not too bad.

I bought their Coral mask, Olive Oil mask and 100% Collagen mask.

SkinLite mask. SkinLite is a Korean Brand.

I like SkinLite masks more than Vilenta's.

I bought their Collagen+Vitamin B&E mask, Cucumber mask, Lavender mask, Q10 mask, Arbutin Tropical Fruit mask, Collagen Tropical Fruit mask, Sakura mask, Bamboo mask and Green Tea mask.

Can't wait to try all of them. 

SkinLite pulp mask edition. More expensive than their normal mask but the quality of the mask is better.

I bought Age Defying Collagen Mask, Nourishing Chocolate mask and Vital Nourishing Red Ginseng Mask. 

The packaging is so cute!!

I took advantage of the perfume sale at L'etoile. 

Got my Lanvin's Jeanne perfume. I love Lanvin's perfume.

Also I dyed my hair again. This time a darker colour.

My skin condition has improved lots after taking more care. 

Vivienne Sabo's foundation helped too, it really looks good on camera.

something extra. Homemade Curry Soba. 

Japanese curry is the best! 

winter sushi time

I need to get my lazy bum moving to update this blog more since I am on holidays.
It is super cold in Moscow right now, I just don't want to go out the dorm. Averagely it is below -20 degrees Celcius.

I went to eat Sushi yesterday.
Walking under the -23 degree Celcius weather was no joke but nothing can stop me when i am hungry.

Masking time last night.
I bought lotsa mask to pamper my face so it can survive through this harsh winter.

This is the mask I use yesterday.
SkinLite Anti-Stress Chamomile Mask.

SkinLite is a Korean brand. It is available in Russia in Auchan branches.
You also can grab them from Sasa.com

The mask quality is really thin and it is 100% made from pulp so it is easily torn if not handled properly.
Since it is thin and made from pulp it adheres to the face really well. I like the texture.
Chamomile mask smells really soothing and fresh.
The mask does soften my skin and moisturize it a little. It is more to the anti-inflammatory side.
Since my skin isn't inflamed this time around I can't see if the anti-inflammation works. 

Shine high.

went out to celebrate my friend's birthday at an Southern American-styled restaurant.
Took us quite awhile to find out where the restaurant is located and the wind was strong during that night.
I kinda regretted wearing leggings, kinda froze myself to death.

cozy environment.

EOTD

basically my eye liner style is pretty the same lately, just  switching up eyeshadow colours eventhough it is not obvious at all.

A light touch of essence eyeshadow in #24.

I just can't stop buying stuffs.
So today when I was doing grocery shopping, I picked up a few items.

Skinlite mask.
These are affordable masks that won't hurt your wallet and for me, they work well.
My skin is at its best condition in months now, due to stricter skin regime and also using of this mask.
no more spots or pimples or acnes.
So far I only used the oatmeal variant. I like it.
Doesn't irritate my skin with its heating effect, makes my skin feel supple and smooth.

Merilin eyeshadows.

I don't need anymore earth colour eyeshadow but still i can't stop getting them especially when they come cheap.

A normal dark brown and a golden white.

The swatches

Not bad for 30 roubles.
The downside it has quite a lot of fall out.

I also went to Yves Rocher. Yves Rocher is a French beauty brand that is almost like The Body Shop but with more affordable prices.
They were having sales.

From Left : 2 Iridescent veil in Or Rose and Enticelle Sparkle in Soleil dore

This product can be used as an eyeshadow or highlighter.
I bought this with the purpose to use it as a highlighter. It is so pretty!

My random swatch of it.
unblended and blended out. A little goes a long way. If applied too much one can look like a disco ball.

Rainy Friday

Looks like I don't going to eatery, eating alone.

Had Kimchi Ramen today with lots of chili powder. I keep topping

chili powder till I sweat.

I heard chili is good for loosing weight.

Quite a big bowl.

I don't like the camera quality for blackberry.

Off to Etude House to get more mask. So reasonable and cheap.

Collagen one is the one recommended by Matsumoto Ena.

She pretty much recommended all the collagen mask from Etude House.

Parcel came!

Look what I got.

Missha BB cream.
I've heard many raves about it. I got it since my Shills one has died on me.

What it claims.

The tube of BB cream.
It comes in 50ml.

I also requested this sample from the seller.

Kumicky and Rui seems to be using this BB cream and raving about it.
I wanna try first before I buy it since this BB cream is more expensive than usual.

They Korean cosmetics boom now makes me lust more for Korean cosmetics.

But, anyhow quality wise still Japanese cosmetics is much better.

I got a new favourite Popteen model.

It's Sano Yukiko (Yukinoko)

I like her style and I think she's pretty.

I also like it how she likes Takarazuka =3

Thursday haul~

A OOTD. I wore the see-through style black top and jeans.

EOTDCircle lens : Fynale lens in Y17 Brown.

Did some haul.

Bought truck loads (actually it's just 5 books) of magazines.

3 books of ViVi, 1 Scawaii and my favourite Popteen.

When I read them while I am exercising, they somehow inspire me. So, it is a must get!

From, Sasa.

It's the famous DollyWink eyeliner.
It is a repurchase. I like the fact the tip is so fine, makes eyelining really easy.

There's the limited edition version.
I didn't buy it because I didn't like the packaging of the limited edition one, I still think the original one is the cutest.

I went to this shop because of how the Popteen girls were talking about Korean brand products and there's sale.

Mask was on sale. 5 pieces for RM12.
Such a bargain.
I got this because Matsumoto Ena recommended this mask.
Models really have the power to make me get something =.=

The more I read what models use, the faster I go broke but this mask is cheap too, doesn't dent the wallet.

3 for RM20.

Etude House precious minerals BB pact.

IKKO-san recommended Etude House's BB items, Marimo raving about it along with other Popteen girls. It is on sale.
Anymore reason not to get it?

Packaging is simple. Nothing too extravagant.

The powder with the word Etude House engraved.
