I'd like to share my haul with you
I got a few make up/ skincare products since I got back in Taiwan
I went to the shopping mall first week, and got a few things at the Clinique counter
the first thing was the Clinique age defense BB cream (SPF 30 PA+++)
I heard a lot of good reviews on this, so I wanted to try it
I wouldn't say that's a great product, the common problem with BB creams is the color
They don't have color selections...the BB cream is suppose to oxidize and match your skin color, but sometimes, it just doesn't came out that well...
In the beginning, when you applied it for an hour or so, your face will look really pale. But after a few hours it does matches your skin a little bit better.
So normally I will apply an other layer of foundation over it....the result is very good, it looks naturally and the coverage is great.
And I also bought the Clinique super-moisture cream compact makeup in 05neutral
I haven't tried this yet...
I got it because I heard from the Clinique counter girl that if your skin type/condition changes with the season/weather, you need to change your skincare products and foundation as well
I have combination/oily skin in the summer time, so I use number 3 from the Clinique 3-step system.
But in the winter my skin will get drier, so I have to use number 2 from the Clinique 3-step system....which I didn't know
Because I didn't switch my skincare products in the winter, my skin got extremely dry, sometimes it hurts.
This foundation cream is super moisturizing, so I think it won't dry out my skin right?
But I don't know....I'll have to try it first before I can review it.
Then I got some cleansers
In the first few days, I had a really hard time to remove my make up...
because I didn't have a "decent" make up remover here in Taiwan
The only thing I got was the Dove make up foam cleanser, but it is such a bad product...I've only used it twice last year
Then I gave up...It hurt my eyes, Dove claimed that the foam will easily take off your eye make up, even the waterproof ones. But I didn't took off anything but my EYELASHES=_=
This year, I don't want to take that risk of losing my eyelashes by buying a cheap make up remover from the drugstore...
And since I was going to the Clinique counter anyway, I got their eye/lip make up remover....it's the one that you have to shake and mix the lotion part with the oil part
It works perfectly...even better than the Loreal ones
I can easily take off my eye make up by using only 1 cotton pad each eye
For the face make up, I use the Clinique mousse make up cleanser
you only have to use a little bit, and when you mix it with water, it will become a foam texture
I like this as well, the tube is huge, you can use it for more than 6 months I think?
Because I only use a little to remove my face make up every time and that is more than enough.
Then I got the "famous" concealer from IPSA
OMG I can't say how much I love this concealer
It comes with 3 colors, the main color is the upper color.
The color is the color that covers your scars or redness
and the other to colors are going to lighten up the areas around the scar.
It comes with a little brush and you can slide the brush back in
Next are the B-day presents that I got from my aunts
It's the KATE eyeshadow palette in BR-02
I love love the colors and especially the shimmer color on the left.
you can create a simple look or a smokey look with it.
The colors are easy to control, you can't go wrong with this palette.
The other thing that I got was the Maybelline hyper sharp liner. This is only available in Asia, just like the gel-liners
This product is awesome, it's a automatic liquid liner, and the brush is easy to draw with.
the color is intense and it's waterproof and oilproof
the liner stays on all day and it's also easy to remove
I think this is my HG liquid liner....!
I love it.
The Jill stuart gel liner in 05 gold shell(Limited edition)
It's a limited color, and I use it to brighten up my inner corners and lower lash line.
Jill stuart make up always comes in a fancy princess-like packaging
The gel liner has a perfume smell, I don't know what kind of smell it is, but it smells okay^^
Last but nit least
Kose curl lock mascara long
I don't know if I really like this mascara, it does holds the curl...
I thought....at least it will give me SOME volume....BUT it didn't..
maybe I asked too much...because it's a curl mascara...but yea...
I don't know....I think I'm going to get an other volume mascara..
And that was it...
I didn't got that much right?
haha
Hope you liked it
