Hong Kong Haul: Nature Republic, Biore, Majolica Marjoca, Canmake, JUJU Cosmetics (from SASA, Mannings & ColourMix) ♡

Hello readers~

Sorry about the late post. The photo uploader stopped working on my original browser (Mozilla Firefox) so I had to download Google Chrome. 

I had my half yearly exams a week ago and spent my holidays studying hard for it so I didn't get to blog. I hope this post makes up for it.

Without further ado, here is the last part of my beauty Hong Kong haul!

*ColourMix and SASA are both popular chain beauty stores found in Hong Kong. They are the equivalent to Sephora and Priceline!

*The prices are all estimations from the void in my memory. I completely forgot the prices so I had to make do with what I remembered.

Pond's Cold Cream purchased for HK$35 from Mannings. If you were to purchase this online, the price would exceed $30 so this was an absolute steal and I just had to try a beauty classic.

Majolica Marjoca Lash Expander Edge Meister Mascara from SASA for HK$128

My current favourite eyeshadow palette! The Kanebo KATE Gradical Eyes which was purchased in SASA for HK$90

The famous Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+ Sunblock! I saw this in several Asian hauls and heard that it performs really well so I just had to snatch it!

My first ever highlighter, the Canmake highlighter in 01 Milky White purchased at SASA for HK $85. I tried searching for on their website but it was not shown.

SASATINNIE Scent of Rose Oil Blotting Paper HK $10

 JUJU Cosmetics AquaMoist Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Lotion purchased at SASA for HK$128. I intially wanted to buy the Hadalabo one, but it was not available at that SASA. It was such a shame because I saw it in a Colour Mix store I visited on the same day for a cheaper price.

I'm sure people who are interested in Korean beauty now about this. This is the popular Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel which can be multi-functional! You can use this as a mask, soothing gel, while shaving and after sun exposure. Purchased at ColourMix

It took me 4 tries to effectively use the Koji Eyetalk Glue. It definitely works well, even on my natural double eyelids. It costed HK$68 at SASA

And the last product is the EOS lipbalm. When I saw this for HK$33 at Colourmix, I just had to get it. It costs around $10 for me to get my hands on this lip balm in Australia! With all the hype, I was expecting a great product but the EOS Lemon Drop SPF 15 Lip Balm definitely did not live up to the hype. I do not recommend this to anybody with dry lips. It hardly nourishes and I find myself reapplying it over and over again.

I had trouble uploading photos with my Mozilla Firefox browser so I had to download Google Chrome! This post was supposed to be up a few days ago, but the photo uploader stopped working.

I hope everybody is doing well!

Hong Kong: Etude House Haul ♡

Hello everybody!

I hope everybody is doing well, because I know I am. I'm excited to share with you guys my Hong Kong Etude House haul. Looking back, I thought I purchased a lot but now that I think about it... not so much.

But now, without further ado, here's my haul ^^~

All the prices listed here will be in Hong Kong dollars. Luckily I took a picture of the check out monitor so I don't forget the prices.

 Cupcake All Over Colour in Orange Choux Cake (OR201). One of my favourite purchases! ($60)

2. Nymph Aura Volumer #3 Transparent. I regret not purchasing the #2 instead... ($148)

Proof 10 Eye Primer! This product is actually extremely popular as it is supposedly the dupe for Urban Decay's Primer Potion. I'm loving this so far. ($55)

Baby Choux Base in #2 Berry. First impressions: dries out skin. I have combination skin so I was quite surprised... ($118)

This sample came with the Baby Choux base!

Proof 10 Auto Pencil! This was recommended by Youtuber 'Yellowycream' so I decided to buy it. Definitely would stock up. ($58)

Drawing Eye Brow Pencil in #6, the darkest colour. ($28)

Cherry tint in PK001. This is perfect for achieving the natural, dolly look. I am wearing this everyday as a blusher, underneath my normal NP powder blush. ($58)

 The hyaluronic acid facial mask was bought in a pack of 10, but It was purchased for my friends so I gave them all away. The little tub is the Etude House Yogurt Wash Off pack. ($180 for Hyaluronic Acid mask and $100 for the Yogurt Wash Off). The pearl mask was a sample given with the Hyaluronic purchase.

Skin Malgem Smoother. I'm very excited to use this, as it acts as an exfoliant as well. ($150 = the most expensive item)

 Two Moistfull skin care kits were given to me as part of their promotion. For every HK$600, you get one kit.

And lastly... the generous samples! I'm glad they didn't change their sample policy ^_^

Before anybody asks, I will be going reviews on the products so don't worry.

Hong Kong Trip: Day 4 - Etude House in Mong Kok! (Korean beauty stores)

Hey guys! Today will be a full post dedicated to Etude House and a few minor places here and there. I'm excited to blog about this! It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip.

Today, we had to change hotels L'hotel elan to Regal Oriental.

They had a small cafe store inside the hotel and they had a delicious display of cakes!

The first Korean makeup store I visited was one in Tsim Tsa Tsui. Emily (my cousin's girlfriend) was kind enough to take me to Etude House. However, she remembered that there was a store in Tsim Tsa Tsui so we followed her there, but found out that it was closed (?). And in its' place, was this store! I forgot the name of the shop, but they sold a variety of brands like Sulwhasoo, Laneige, The Face Shop etc. The Face Shop can be seen quite regularly in a lot of stores.

The small Etude House display. They didn't have any of the products I wanted.
