Watsons haul #1

It has been a long time since I did some Watsons (A drugstore in my country) shopping. I just miss the vast selection of cosmetics over here.

Yesterday I sneaked in there and checked out the new releases that I've missed for the past year. 

Damage is still under control, I didn't pick up much stuffs, but I am going there again and I think I am going to do some major damage during the next visit. 

I picked up four items. 2 skincares and 2 lip products. 

What really drew me in into this cream is the word 'Sakura'. I just love everything cherry blossom. They remind me of everything girly, floral and sweet. 

It contains SPF which is a plus point. I can't live without SPF since I am back in this baking oven. The sun always shines right from above.

The cream is pink! How lovely. 

The texture of the cream is just nice. It isn't too thick nor thin. It makes a great day cream. 

Pixy Radiant Finish Lightening Cream. 

I bought this cream to use it as a sunscreen since it wasn't very pricey. 

I have used this cream today, it seems to work just fine but the white of the cream seems to immediately brighten and lighten my skintone. It will work really great for those who has dull skin. 

The cream is white. The consistency is medium thick. 

Blended in. 

ZA Lip Glam Liquid Rouge in RS481.

I got intrigued because it is a liquid lipstick. I like liquid lipstick I find them very easy on the go and I get the pigmentation I want and the glossy finish I like from them all from one product. 

Maybelline Color Show Lipstick. 

I think this is an Asia-only release since I didn't encounter them when I was in Europe. 

I got it in the shade - Pink Punch.

It is a pink with slight peachy tones. I am excited to get more of these lipsticks because they were really affordable and there were so many colours to choose from. I wanted get almost all of the colour and ofcourse I shouldn't because I have too many lipsticks. 

Post holiday haul

Yesterday was a public holiday so my parents took us out to shop.

I took this advantage to haul things that I need to bring over to Moscow.
So first buy is from Daiso. Nothing very special, just two Hello Kitty laundry bags.

The rest is hauled from the local pharmacy(drugstore)

Nixoderm Skin Ointment, ZA total hydration lotion and Neutrogena Oil-free moisturizer for combination skin.
These items are in my current skincare routine and I am gonna continue this routine until I find better products. They are not at "OMG the best" level yet but they work well on my skin.

Got backup for the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Water Base Sunscreen because this is my current favourite sunscreen. It is so light, non-greasy and watery.
For those who hates greasy sunscreen should look into Biore's sunscreen and you will love it.
I also got the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse Water Base Sunscreen because of the multiple raves. I just had to pick one to try it out myself.

A FOTD.

My skin's condition is pretty terrible after coming back from holidays. All the chlorine screwed up my skin but I currently back to my skincare routine, so it calmed down a little.

BB cream buys - Maybelline , ZA

It seems after awhile not being in my country. Drugstore makeup brands have been popping up new items as well as collections.

A lot of drugstore brand have come up with BB cream. It seems the BB cream wave have really hit most brands.
I went and got 2 of them, ready to try them out.

Maybelline's Clear Smooth BB cream and ZA BB cream UV.

I got both of these BB cream for under RM40(around USD13) which is super affordable.

The Maybelline claims to :
- Brightens
- Evens
- Smoothens
- Freshens
- Clears
- Conceals
- Moisturizes
- Protects Skin

Basically it claims to do everything under the sun to your skin.
I will try it out and see if it does all these.

It comes with SPF26 PA+++ which is pretty good. Most Asian brands or Asian limited foundation/bb cream/skin base contains SPF.
Guess Asians are obsessed with fair skin. Well I am one of them too.

ZA Total Hydration BB Cream UV.
ZA is a drugstore brand under Shiseido (like Majorlica Majorca) but if I am not mistaken, ZA is not sold in Japan despite being under Shiseido but they launching it soon in Japan.
It comes in a nice floral packaging which drew me in and it's pink!

The SPF contained in this BB cream is very high, sunblock/sunscreen level.
