~*~ October favorites ~*~

Hi, there~ ^-^
The beginning of the month is the time for previous month favorite cosmetic products! If you want to check up last months favorites, feel free to click the links below:

• July
• August
• September

1. Skin care products

The weather is getting colder here, so I have to take more care about my skin. Last month I have been using new skin care products, I haven`t tried before. So far, all of them are super effective. ^^ What`s why they are in my list of favorite products. However, I have been using many other products as well. It is just they have already been in other monthly edition of favorite products. And I`ve decided there is no need to show them again and again. Just keep that in mind, and check the earlier versions of "favorites"! ^_-

Here are the products I want to show this time:

1. The Face Shop RICE Ceramide moisture toner 150ml - my favorite Hadalabo lotion is coming to an end *sadly*, so I really needed a new product. This one was quite cheap, comparing to the other toners\lotions so I have decided to give it a try. Moreover, i like its characteristics and content. What can i say about it? This toner is a good moisturizer, which works perfectly in a tandem with the same emulsion (i always use them together). It keeps my skin away from dryness, which is very important during the cold season. I also like the softness i feel after using it~ ^-^
2. The Face Shop RICE Ceramide moisture emulsion 150ml - actually, I can say the same things I have written about the toner (remember! I use toner and emulsion together). The only thing i want to add - I can use emulsion only in the evening, because it leaves some "shine", which doesn`t look appealing at my face ~lol So it is a big NO for morning routine, but a perfect choice for evening care! ^^
3. MIZON Special Therapy Good Night white sleeping mask 50ml - I swear, this is like the best sleeping mask ever!!! It is a must if you have some blemishes or marks on you face, because it makes them less noticeable. This mask also makes my skin smooth and a little bit brighter *which I like a lot haha* It also keeps the moisture inside of the skin, so you might not even need to put some products on your face in the morning! 

2. Make up and other

1. Maybelline Baby Skin instant pink transformer 30ml - This is a special product you can find only in Asian countries *if I am wrong, please, correct me* How it works? You can use it as a primer or a single product, it depends on your need and desirable effect. I, personally, use it alone or together with the powder, if I want my skin to stay matte. This product makes your skin tone better and more even. It brighten the skin and leaves a little "pinkish glow". *beware! if you have a reddish face this product is your enemy! ;o* So basically, it makes your skin look healthy and gives a nice shine. More than that, it also protects from the sun rays, as it has SPF 35/PA+++
2. Tonymoly Baby Doll BB powder 15g - even though Innisfree No Sebum Mineral powder is currently #1 to me, this Tonymoly powder is still of of the best. Besides it works better in a cold season, when Innisfree powder is more suitable for warm days. It perfectly covers little "problems" on the face and makes the skin looks better over all. For me, it is enough to use this powder without any foundation or bb cream underneath.
3. NIVEA Soft eye make-up remover lotion #for sensitive skin 125ml - this is the best eye make up remover! Korean removers can`t even compete with it! *and this is super rare case when i can say that Korean cosmetic products work worser than some other haha* This remover gently cleans your eyes. It can remove even "hard to remove" mascaras. And what I like a lot is that it doesn`t leave an oily feeling: it is like a water. ^-^  
4. VOV Lip care balm #strawberry - this is a tinted lip balm with amazing strawberry scent! ~so yummy! It is a perfect choice for the ones, who wants to have some color and at the same time to protect their lips from dehydration. 
5. SKINFOOD Black Bean eye brow pencil #black brown - this is a "two-side" pencil. There is a brow brush from the one side and a pencil - from the other. It is easy to apply the color on eye brows. And I can say the color lasts pretty long without any smudges. Yay for the pencil! kkk~

 

E-bay haul: October edition

Hello, guys~!
I`m here again~ hehe I like online shopping a lot, which you could probably see from my posts :p As I am living in a small city in Russia *yeah, my country sucks when it comes to good shops*, I can get some awesome products only purchasing them online. And the best place for me is E-bay! The most purchased items (in my case) are: CD disks & cosmetics from Korea; clothes, shoes & accessories from China; food and beauty supplements from Japan.
No wonder, I am always waiting for something kkk
Right now I am going to show some things I have received during this month.

1. Tonymoly Baby Doll BB powder
+ Lioele Fresh sun screen SPF 45 as a sample

This is a second time I`ve purchased this powder. It means this product is awesome. Really! Because it`s a rare case to me to buy the same cosmetic product again, as I always want to try something new, to find a better one. 

2. Black knee-high stockings with spikes!

 
They are just super cool! Comfortable and look amazing ^-^ I wear them with skirt and my black creepers.

3. EOS honeysuckle\honeydew lip balm

I`m using it right now ^-^ Overall, it leaves a pleasant feeling, but there is also something I don`t like about it. I won`t write its pros and cons here, as I am planning to post a full review. Stay tuned!! ;p

4. MIZON Special Therapy Good Night white sleeping mask and A.C Care Solution Mark-X blemish after cream

Sleeping mask is wonderful! It works pretty good. But I haven`t really tried "blemish after cream". So, I might write more about these two products later~ *if i won`t be too lazy -_-`*

5. The Face Shop Rice Ceramide moisture toner & emulsion

+ The Face Shop Chia Seed cream and SKINFOOD Watery Berry blending cream as samples from seller

I have already included both Rice Ceramide toner and emulsion in my daily skin care routine. And as far I have only positive results. Gonna use them a little bit more, before giving better description. ^-^

6. Meiji Vegetable & Fruit Gummy with collagen

I have eaten them all, because the pack was small ^^` Candies look like little carrots (like on the front side of the pack) and has citrus and carrot taste. Very yummy!! And as they contain collagen, they are also good for skin~ *that`s why I like Japanese products lol*

p.s. if you are interested in some particular product from this list, let me know. I might write a review on it. 

^-^ 

Innisfree & The Face Shop - Seoul haul~

Annyeong~!! ^^
I continue sharing cosmetic products I have bought during my trip in Korea. The time has come to show some Innisfree and The Face Shop products. These two brands are in a list of my favorite Korean cosmetic companies. Mostly because of their "nature-friendly" concept, but also because of the high quality of the products and great results after usage.

1. Innisfree
Innisfree is a well-know Korean brand, which is quite popular in many countries. Innisfree Wine peeling jelly softener was one of the first Korean cosmetic products I have tried. And it was like 3 years ago.. So I have a long history of "relationship" with this brand. So far, I have only positive experience. And I hope it will stay this way. ^^

This is how Innisfree stores look like - white & green. ^^ 

So, what have I bought there?

o, how i love their eco bags!! ^^

• Eco volume mascara #black
• Capsule recipe pack: honey and peach
• It`s real sheet mask: cucumber, acai berry and tea tree (one was as a present, but I don`t remember which ><`).

• Jeju Sudachi soothing mask
• It`s real sheet mask: shea butter, pomegranate and kiwi
• Capsule recipe pack #apple
• Samples: Green barley clear scrub (2 pcs.) and white tone up sleeping pack (2 pcs.).

2. The Face Shop

I have never tried the products of this brand before my trip to Korea. Of course I have heard about The Face Shop and I have seen some ads, but I just haven`t got a chance to test it. So while I was in Korea, I have thought it was a right time to buy something from The Face Shop store. Now I can say I am absolutely in love with the brand! Both the Nature Republic and The Face Shop are my favorite Korean brands at this moment. 

As you can see the concept of the store is almost the same as Innisfree`s

And this is what I have bought there:

• Aloe fresh 95% all-in-one moisture gel 500 (!!!) ml
• Mini capsule pack wash off type #cucumber
• Real nature sheet mask: Avocado, Aloe, Acai berry, Mung bean and Red ginseng. 

By the way, The Face Shop sheet masks are awesome!! Don`t hesitate to try them out! ^_- 

And this super huge "bowl" of aloe gel.. mm it is super good, too! 

July favorites~!!

Hello, guys~! ^-^
July has already passed and I can already sense the autumn coming ;o I don`t feel sad, though. I like autumn more than summer ~kk *i pretty much hate hot super sunny weather t_t*
Anyway, as a 1st entry for August I want to share my favorite products of July. This is my very first time writing such issue, but I think from now on i will do it every month.. maybe~ haha I don`t know yet, because I am sure i am going to use the same products in this month too *actually I am already doing it ;p*.
How my "favorites" will look like? I am planning to post a picture with a description of the products and a few words comment of my impression of it *prepare for "omgosh i love it so much!!!" ahaha*.
Here it is~

1. Skin care products

1. SNP Pore Cleansing Foam 150 ml - great foam, which helps to keep my skin clean and healthy ^-^ 
2. Nature Republic Sleeping Tonight Lavender sleeping pack 150 ml - the best sleeping pack so far!! Love it! ^^
3. The Face Shop Aloe fresh 95% all-in-one moisture gel 500 (!!) ml - great as a body lotion or a light gel for face. Can be used even as a hair mask!

5. SKINFOOD Egg white pore mask 100 g - has the same effect as a clay mask - makes my skin healthy and pores less noticeable ;p

2. Make up and other

1. Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton bb cream 30 g - really good bb cream which i use as a concealer, not for a whole face.
2. Colormatic Premium EyeMarker no. 01 (black eyeliner) - i like marker eyeliners! They are so easy to use ^^
3. A`PIEU Full of Nature mascara (black) - perfect volume mascara.
4. The Face Shop Mini Pet Sweet hand cream 30 ml - very cute packaging with a good moisturizing hand cream in it.  
5. Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral powder - the best powder i have so far, small format, but I have been using it for months now.
6. The Body Shop Strawberry eau de toilette 30 ml - i am addicted to this fresh yet sweet strawberry scent! I use it pretty much every day since March, and i still have 1\3 left ^^.

So that was my July favorites~ ^^ I am using all this products in this month too, so I am not sure if there will be another favorites for August.. well, we`ll see! ~hehe
