Other beauty products I got+things I wanted but didn't end up buying in Taiwan =P

Hello beautiful ppl!

Lol the greeting makes me want to sing Christina Aguilera XD you know that song from Burlesque?

"all the beautiful ppl shining like diamonds  ♪ ♪ ♪"

... No...? ... okay XD

Anyway! I haven't been blogging as much as I'd have liked -__- cuz I'm so busy. In fact, so busy that I was so excited when I got off work today that I could finally go home and do dishes and take out trash and actually cook for myself (been eating out >< one of the worst things you can do to your health) LOL. Yeah, pretty insane. So I prob will just be posting intensively over weekends.

Anyway! Here's the part II of products I got from Taiwan. Yeah I know I know I already showed a lot of products in that first post, but of course I ended up purchasing more products after that... so... XD Okay, let me introduce you... the rest of the beauty-related products I got from Taiwan!



Photobucket
Loreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer

Photobucket
Loreal Touche Magique Highlighter (I had hoped it'd be somewhat like YSL touche eclat but no no no they are completely different!)

Photobucket
K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner. Which I will use when I run out of my Dolly Wink liquid liner.

Photobucket
Majolica Majorca mascara and primer of course! Must buy when I go back. LOL. By the way this primer saves my DW Long Mascara! Which I kind of stopped using cuz I got tired of having to curl my lashes AGAIN after applying mascara. This baby solves the problem ^-^


Photobucket
Kiss Me lengthening and curling mascara. Very excited to try this ^_^ will get to it when I'm through with MJ and DW mascaras.

Photobucket
I didn't buy this, but my cousin is a huge fan of this eyelash glue and insisted I should own one lol! Plus it's the limited pink edition... XD Not sure what brand it is.

Photobucket
Biotherm White D-TOX correcting base. Got mine in green you alllll know whyyy... I have a lot of redness on my face. I use a lot less foundation when I use this base ^_^ still need to wear it more; haven't been wearing foundations still cuz my face is still recovering from breaking out so I'm still wearing BB creams.

Photobucket
Biotherm Aquasource Eye cream. To be honest I don't think it's worth the money... I thought my last eye cream (Kiehls, the avacado one!) worked much better. I might even go back to buying Kiehls after I'm done with this tube.

Photobucket
I also got a lot of samples from Biotherm (they only give out samples if you purchase over a certain amount =_= since I purchased Mother's Day's presents there as well, I qualified! lol)

Photobucket
CONI gel exfoliator. Works exactly like the blue one except even better. It's like a higher grade of the blue one cuz it contains gold foils lol.

Photobucket
Got a BUNCH of these little jars to store my samples =D I hate opening up sample packets and not being able to use them up in one go and have to paper clip them. Haha.

Photobucket
My Beauty Diary masks! Not sure why I got them cuz now I'm a believer and regular user of natural yogurt masks. lol. By the way I'm trying out Bubbi's chocolate mask tonight! it's sitting in my fridge now I'm so excited! XD

Photobucket
I feel like a lot of ppl are gonna freak out seeing that I buy these products? LOL. But anyway, I've gotten questions in the past asking me if my double folds are natural? The answer is yes, they are (to be honest I found this an interesting question... If I'd had surgery or created the fold... I wouldn't have little folds like these are you freaking kidding me LMAO!!!) But I also have answered honestly that sometimes I do have problems with my folds... for example... when I'm really tired, or when I cried the night before. Hahaha. you know, just when my lids get puffy, sometimes my folds will move to different places. This is when I use these things to fix them so they're back to normal. I use the glue if I'm going out (pretty invisible on me) and the tape if I'm staying home. I don't use the whole tape, I cut it in 3 cuz that's enough to put my lid back in place. I will leave it on for a couple of hours and take it off and my fold will be good to go. lol. So since I use these to "fix" my folds instead of "creating" folds, please don't ask me questions about how I create natural folds cuz I honestly don't know >.< But anyway, you don't even really need this specific glue. Any eye lash glue would do. I just like the brush applicator that comes with it :P

Photobucket
Jealousness eye brow pencil. This was my new favorite thing to do my eyebrow! "Was" my favorite until I got my hair colored and now the color is completely off *sob* I don't normally say some product lasts all day long, but this brow pencil does! and so much easier to use than my Anastasia brow powder in my opinion lol.

Last thing... I got... a book =D
Photobucket
It's a makeup book written by 小凱老師. If you watch Taiwanese variety show 女人我最大 then you will know who I'm talking about. I don't even know why I bought this, cuz everything in the book is pretty basic (you can pretty much get everything on youtube) and I've even read the entire book while I was sitting at the bookstore flipping through it. To be honest I feel like this is more of a product promotional book rather than an instructional book, cuz for each look it used completely different sets of products (mostly high-end too). But I get it anyway cuz this book is so beautiful >_< I guess it's like a collection thing XD Photobucket

You're supposed to be able to cut the pages and mix and match looks you desire! But of course I can't bring myself to do it lol

Photobucket
My favorite look =) So Christina Aguilera. lol!

I might have left out some stuff here and there, but it's okay these are the more exciting ones =P

And... I'm not done yet XD hahaha. Now I want to tell you guys the products I REALLY wanted, but didn't end up getting for various reasons:

1. Clinique Age Defense BB Cream
Photobucket
- I thought this BB cream was pretty unique cuz it gives a matte finish. Matte finish! What BB cream does that?! Usually BB creams give very shiny dewy finish. Plus it blends into my skin really well. I didn't end up buying it cuz I still have my SKIN79 BB creams which work really well... So... I'm gonna finish that, and hopefully get to this product next year? XD

2. FANCL Washing Powder
Photobucket
- My skin just feels so amazing and fresh after using this cleanser. Too bad I already bought the Hado Labo cleanser which is gonna last me for a year =( Will definitely buy this next time.

3. Jill Stuart #1 Baby Blush
Photobucket
- This blush is $1300 TWD (about $45 USD) even more expensive than the JS foundation! WTF Where is the justice?!?!?!?!!! Maybe it's because it comes with a brush. I'd rather just buy the blush without the brush to save money -_- But anyway this blush palette is just gorgeous. But I just cannot spend $45 on a blush. So I'm just gonna drool after it for the rest of my life. XD


By the way guys... I'm officially on a shopping ban  >_< I bought way too much in Taiwan. I haven't got into my shoes haul! O_O so... yeah...UNLESS there's 15 or 20% off at Sephora (LMAO), or I have gift cards or run out of essentials (will be using up all the samples first!), then I can buy. Otherwise I'm not purchasing anything or I will die like a pudding that has fallen 40 stories!!!! >_<

Okay now I'm really done. Hehe off to shower and test out the chocolate mask =D

Have a great weekend guys ^_~

  1. So many goodies! Good luck on your shopping ban. I find it so hard to not buy unless I don't go anywhere and be a home-body 24/7 (that I'm not in school) lol Shouldn't feel too bad though! I don't think anyone would be able to resist buying loads when in asia..I know I wouldn't =P

    Can't wait for reviews during your shopping ban :D I don't think Biotherm is sold in the US right? Their products look interesting. You're very strict on using only one cleanser! I have so many yet I keep buying more..I really need to stop =X I just ordered the hada labo cleanser you have from sasa since it was in stock. Can't wait to try it!!
