Pinky-Ribbons

Mini Haul: DHC, Innisfree, Etude House, Clio ~

So I have been on a mission to save up some money and not spend as much money on makeup or cosmetics or things in general & decided to use up some stuff that I currently have, so I have set myself a project 20 ban, where I have to use up 20 products before I can buy any other makeup, I kind of broke the rule because I did buy other skincare stuff but that was only because I needed it

This is a collective haul throughout the last 3 months of things I have bought

ETUDE HOUSE:___________________________________________________________
Etude House Face Conditioning Cream Light ~ $14.98 USD from HERE

I have heard many people talk about the original before but it had received a lot of negative feedback so I never went to purchase it but apparently the light version had all the rave and is meant to be more suitable for those with oily/combination skin

INNISFREE:_____________________________________________________________
Innisfree Long Wear BB Cushion #23 True Beige ~ $22.50 from HERE

I am OBSESSED with BB cushions and so I wanted to try this one out as well since this is meant to be more summer and oily skin suitable as well & I have heard the coverage is much better than a lot of BB cushions out there ~ I actually saw this in one of Pony's videos on YouTube and bought it straight away ~ keke ~

DHC:___________________________________________________________________

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml ~ £21.50 from BEAUTYMART TOPSHOP, OXFORD STREET

I bought this after watching episode 18 of Get it Beauty and this was in the top 5 range, it ranked #5 amongst Etude House Real Art Cleansing Oil (Moisture), Neutrogena Cleansing Oil which I had bought last year and though I did not do a review I would say I love that cleansing oil a lot, and is comparable to the Shu Uemura one I have tried before, Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil and Innisfree Juicy Apple Cleansing Oil, I purely picked this up because I went into London and they sell this at the beautymart counter in Topshop, Oxford Street and it was Yoo In Na's favourite (I'm a long time fan of hers keke~)

DHC Revitalising Moisture Strips (Eyes) ~ £8.50 from BEAUTYMART TOPSHOP, OXFORD STREET

My dark circles underneath my eyes are getting significantly worse and has also been getting dry ~ I don't want any wrinkles yet T_T so I thought these might help, I also picked these up in London

CLIO:__________________________________________________________________ CLIO Professional Kill Cover Realest Wear Moist Foundation ~ $38.50 from TWOFACEMALL

I had done my Clio shopping quite a while ago around 3 months ago but decided to show you what I have bought anyways ~ this line does come with another formula which I believe is more suitable for oily skin & is more long wearing but I opted for the realest wear moist instead since I wanted that healthy dewy glow on my skin rather than a matte finish

CLIO Professional Kill Cover Pearlfection Wear Sheer Blenders ~ $40.20 from TWOFACEMALL

#1 Sheer Champagne, #2 Sheer Apricot, #3 Sheer Yellow, #4 Sheer Tan

(from left to right)

I bought these again because I wanted to mix these in with foundations, #1 is more of the standard ones and a lot of luminators are similar to this shade, it can also be used as a highlighter underneath or on top of foundation similar to the benefit high beam, #2 is more of a blush colour, you can mix this in with foundation to make it more pink based to give you a rosy glow or be used as a blusher underneath or on top of the foundation, #3 is a yellow based illuminator and can mainly be used to mix in foundation or as a primer to counteract dullness on the skin, #4 is a sheer tan colour which can be used as a liquid bronzer or contour and alternatively be mixed in with your foundation to create a more tanned sunkiss glow naturally

I have also got a few more items such as the Innisfree Creamy Mousse lip tints but I have lost the packaging to them so there wasn't really much point doing a haul on them and also the Laneige Pore Control BB Cushion but an upcoming review will be up soon for that ~

Take Care ~ ♥

Hong Kong Haul pt 5 (Last Edition): SKINFOOD, ColourMix, Bonjour, Mannings & Watsons

So we have finally come to an end of my extremely long haul ~ I decided to combine this haul with various different items from other brands that I have bought here and there at different shops which were Skinfood, Colourmix, Bonjour, Mannings and Watsons, but I didn't get enough to make one dedicated blogpost on each store so I thought I would combine them together ~

check out my other haul posts as well ^^, Etude House, Laneige, TonyMoly, SaSa

SKINFOOD Black Sugar Deep Cleansing Cream
~ $185

SKINFOOD Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder
~ $165
I wasn't actually going to buy this but the girl working there kind of pushed me into purchasing this and I knew I couldn't get out if I didn't -.-

DewyTree Deep Detox Black Mask (x 4)
~ $119.60
I used one already hence why I only have 3 in this image

Faith In Face Pore Tightening Miss Invisible Pore Hydrogel Mask
~ $69.90
I heard a lot of things about these masks from South Korean Bloggers

DewyTree Snail Vitalising Mask Sheet ( x 10)
~ $118 I think :/
I actually lost the receipt for this so I am not sure, it's either $118 or $180 for 10, I gave one for my mum to try out because she wanted to try 'snail' products haha XD these were also on promotion in Mannings when I went to buy them ~ they were having a buy 1 get 1 free (1+1) sale ^^

Dream Skin Element 100 Snail Serum Premium
~ I can't remember the price as I lost the receipt
This was from Mannings and doesn't the packaging remind you of another brand? it reminded me of it's skin so I quickly took out my phone and used wi-fi to search about this 'Dream Skin' brand and found out this is the same brand as 'it's skin' just renamed differently? I believe only in South Korea it's called 'it's skin' whilst elsewhere in Asia it's called 'dream skin', correct me if I am wrong...

Cure Natural Aqua Gel
~ $280
I, of course had to try this, this has been talked about SOOOOO much!

Lioele Auto Eyebrow Pencil
~ I lost my receipt but this wasn't too expensive I believe

The Face Shop Aura Color Control (CC) Cream SPF30/PA++
~ $200 I think?
I also lost the receipt to this

Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleansing Oil
~ I can't remember the price
I wasn't actually going to buy this but I bought this at the airport because I needed a make-up remover and yes I do like to wash my face on the airplane haha XD I know most people would chose to use cleansing waters, but personally I am not a huge fan of them

That's it for the final haul post ^^ ~ I know it's a lot or too much products but I am a mask junkie and skin care junkie ~ a lot of the items are back ups of my current ones and others are new for me to try out ~ I will use every last drop of all these items even if I don't like them, just like how I am with my current ones now so don't worry I won't waste anything ~

Also on a side note there may be a few items missing ~ because I honestly can't remember where some of the things have gone XD if I ever find them and try them out I will review them as well ~

Take Care ~ ♥

Hong Kong Haul Pt 3: Tony Moly ~

If you haven't checked out my other hauls, for Laneige and Etude House ~ feel free to click on the links and look at those blog posts ~

Honestly ~ I didn't expect to spend as much as I did in Tony Moly and I was quite shocked when I went to the till because I didn't buy that much really :/ But the stuff at Tony Moly in Hong Kong are actually quite expensive o.O ~

Again, all price listing will be in HKD $

Cat Chu Wink Tony Tint #03 Cha Cha Orange
~ $62

Back Stage Gel Eyeliner #02 Brown
~ $95

Petite Bunny Gloss Bar #07
~ $62
Petite Bunny Gloss Bar #06
~ $62

Hello Bunny Perfume Bar #01 Bebe
~ $98
This is my HG perfume scent ~ I just love the baby powder scent so much ^^

Intense Care Snail Eye Mask Jumbo
~ $199
After I saw this on Get it Beauty I wanted to try it out ~ I actually bought this for my mum because she has fairly serious dark circle problems but of course I will be trying these out as well and reviewing them ~

Intense Repair Snail Hydro-gel Mask (10 sheets)
~ $354
It was sold at $59 a piece individually so I thought it was cheaper to buy the set of 10 ~This was actually the item that I was most eager to try out from TonyMoly lol ~

And some samples ~ I used up a few face mask samples that I received already >.<" ~

I wanted to try their newest CC cream (I forgot the name of it, but it's the one that cools down your skin) because the weather in Hong Kong was just TOO hot, humid, sticky and disgusting but they were always sold out of it ~ well the one in diamond hill (plaza hollywood) I know there were other chain stores across Hong Kong but I didn't end up going into TonyMoly when I was there XD

I will be doing reviews for these products soon, as they are mainly all make-up items and I feel like I can use these a lot more than with skin care items which takes a longer time to see results ~
I will be review every single item so don't worry ~

Take Care ~ ♥

Hong Kong Haul Pt 2: Laneige ~

I've always been a fan of Laneige cosmetics and I have always wanted to try a lot more of their products but unfortunately here in the UK we don't have access to them like many other countries do like in the US where they have amore pacific ~ I wish we had that over here T_T

again with the same disclaimer as my Etude House haul if you haven't seen it already it's here ~

Anyways ~ So before I went on this trip I had a few items I wanted to buy ~ and for this haul, I did spend A LOT as well and in one setting and I feel bad for it now :/ I was kind of prepared for this though because I already calculated the cost of the products before I went ~
However, I have lost the receipt for this but I will check the item pricing on Laneige's HK website and post it on here for you all ~ all price listing is in HKD $

Laneige Snow Crystal Dual Foundation SPF22/PA+ #13 True Beige
~ $280

Laneige Trouble Relief Cream
~ $300

Laneige Trouble Relief Toner ~$240
I wasn't originally going to get this, it wasn't on my list but I had to spend over a certain amount to get this free item so I though OK why not then...

Laneige Brightening Sun Powder SPF50+/PA+++ ~
Retail Price: $260
This was the free item I was talking about

Silk Intense Lipstick #SYR36 ~ $210
After I saw Song Hye Kyo wear this I knew I had to have it

Laneige Water Bank Essence ~ $310
I was hesitating whether to get this because I have received so many samples from my previous purchases and ended up getting it because I remembered how much I loved this

Laneige Pore Tightening Essence ~ $260

Laneige White Plus Renew Original Essence ~
$400
This had a lot of good and rave reviews on it so I am hoping it does what it promises, my mum also wanted to try this haha XD

And a ton of samples ~ Laneige is a pricey brand so it looks like I didn't buy a lot but a lot of the items were quite expensive :/

That's it for Laneige ~ hope you liked this haul as well ~ Again, I will be doing reviews for majority if not all of these products shown so please be patient ~ I am in the midst of using up quite a lot of my products currently ~ but one day I will end up using these and reviewing them for you guys because I know that skin care for me takes a while to see results and I like to test them fully before I make a review of it ~

Take care ~ ♥

Hong Kong Haul Pt 1: Etude House ~

So as I have stated before, I went to Hong Kong for 13-14 days (excluding the 12 hour flight journey there and back) and whilst I was there I had to go for a visit to Etude House, one of my favourite high street/drug store/road shop brand ^^ I have decided to separate the beauty products I bought in several different blog posts dedicating to each store because there is quite a few products and I will be here forever if I did it in one single post ~

When I first heard about Etude House opening in Hong Kong I was over the moon, well because I go there for holiday a lot, well not a lot but every 3 years but I might be planning to go back in 2 years time when I have money ~ and I know in Korea it's probably a lot cheaper but I am not going to Korea anytime soon unfortunately T_T so Hong Kong will have to do ~ *why can't England have a Etude House :'(*

Anyways, rant over ~ I went to two different stores in Mong Kok ~ The first one I went to was right next to Ladie's Market whilst the other store is at the other end near where Innisfree is, unfortunately I didn't take my camera with me so I didn't get any pictures of the stores or inside them (if we were even allowed to take pictures :/) But I wouldn't have had time anyways because I was too busy shopping and both of my hands were full of shopping bags haha XD

Now onto the actual products ~ I just want to put out a disclaimer that YES I DID SPEND A LOT and I know I did, I also feel kind of guilty for spending this much on one place ~ but I didn't spend them all at once, it was accumulated during my stay in Hong Kong and I do share a lot of my cosmetics like sheet masks and stuff with my mum and some make-up items with friends as well so it's all good ~all prices listing will be in HKD $ As well ~

Shini Star Clear BB Lotion SPF20/PA++ ~ $77
I've heard a lot about how good this is ~ I'm hoping it's good

Precious Mineral BB Cream Cotton Fit SPF30/PA++ #W13 Natural Beige ~ $168
this is apparently the best selling shade in Hong Kong... Honestly I don't know whether or not it will be too dark for me as I have tried

Correct & Care CC Cream #SILKY SPF30/PA++~ $168

AC Clinic Intense Pink Powder Spot ~ $218
This came in a set of 2 ^^

AC Clinic Intense Red Spot Balm ~
This came free with the pink powder spot set

Vanilla Moist EYE'S CREAM SPF30/PA++ ~ $90

Mint Cooling EYE'S CREAM SPF30/PA++ ~ $90

It's Real Mask Sheet Sea Kelp Set of 10 + 1 free Aloe Moistfull mask sheet
~ $250

Proof 10 Eyeshadow Primer ~$55
I had many raves about this ~ I love my UD primer potion ~ I hope this is as good

Proof 10 Auto Pencil BR401 ~ $58
I heard good stuff about this from YellowyCream on YouTube, I couldn't remember the shade she recommended so the girl who was assisting me recommended this shade

Wonder Pore Freshener 500ml ~ $170

Silk Scarf Moist Hair Mist ~ $88

I'm Blooming Sebum Control Mist ~ $95

Nymph Aura Volumer Baby Glow Balm #02 Natural Beige ~ $188

Surprise Essence Concealer #01 ~ $48

Bling Bling Eye Stick #09 Golden Tail Star ~ $38
Bling Bling Eye Stick #10 Little Bear Star ~ $38

Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips-Talk #JPK004 ~ $88
Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips-Talk #JOR201 ~ $88
Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips-Talk #JPK003 ~ $88

Skin Malgem Kit (Full Size Smoother&Freshener, cotton pads and a mini mist spray)
~ $199
this was on promotion and by adding a few HKD you got another skin malgem so I though might as well ^^

Strawberry Sponge Hair Rollers ~ $40
I've always wanted to try these out ever since watching Dream High 2 and Rian (played by T-ara's JiYeon was using these a lot)

Petite Bijou Baby Bubble All Over Spray
~ $98

Two Sets of I'm Blooming Skincare sets because these were on promotion, if you spent over $600 you could get one ~ the few times I went I spent over the amount so I got two
I also got the vacance set which has 2 different body lotions, a body wash and a mini size of the pore freshener but I gave that away to my cousin ^^ ~

And a ton of sheet masks and other samples ~ I actually got a lot more but ended up using a lot of it whilst I was staying in Hong Kong

That's the end of my Etude House Haul from Hong Kong ~ I hope you enjoyed it and I know this is a lot and there will be a lot more products shown later on in other blog posts but I did save up for majority of these stuff and other stuff my parents bought them for me as a gift ~ I also won't be spending as much now that I am back home obviously ~

Yes I will be doing reviews of all the items shown ~ but please bare with me especially for the skin care items (creams and stuff) because I am currently trying to use up some of my current ones before I open new ones ~

Take Care ~ ♥
