Collective Haul: Asian/Weatern brand skincare and Makup

Lots of items I purchase for the past 2 months

Sasa.com
I purchase 3 boxes of the FaceQ lifting line masks (Glacier Essence Moisturizing, Caviar x Hyaluronic Acid Firming and Ellagic Acid Brightening and Firming), these were on sale for 25% off and I also purchase the Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel which I'm really loving at the moment. 

Another Sasa purchase where my all time favorite De Herbs Hyaluronic Acid serum, they were doing a Buy One Get One Free sale and I also purchase two boxes of Genie in a Bottle serums which I read good reviews on them. 

Ebay
From Ebay I got a Skin Food Tea Tree emulsion, since I ran out of my Naruko Tea Tree Night Jelly and Serum and I wanted to try something new.  Along with it I purchase the Etude House AC Clinic Daily Gel Lotion to combat my acne for the upcoming warm season.  So far I tried the Skinfood Tea Tree Emulsion and it's doing well for me, except the glass packaging is making it really hard to get the product out.

Vitacost
I was running out of fish oil so I went to Vitacost to repurchase and I ended up buying more then I wanted xD
I got a huge size of the Dr. Bronners Rose Castile Soap, I absolutely love this liquid soap, I use it on everything from cleaning my makeup brushes to using it in the shower.  Just so happen the site was running a sale on the Thayers Witch Hazel toners so I purchase 3 different scents (Rose, peach and Aloe) and I also got pure Aloe Vera liquid and a Rosewater spray.

Sephora
I manage to snatch their Lash Stash which was on sale for $30, these are a great way to try department store brand mascaras without getting the full size. 

Ulta
I got a good deal on these skincare items at Ulta by using manufacturer coupons along with their $3.50 off coupon.  I had 2 Buy One Get One Free Simple and Biore coupon from the Sunday papers and 1 Ulta $3.50 off coupon and they happen to run a in-store Buy One Get One 50% off sale so my total for everything was less then $10! 

CVS
I was hunting down these Wet n' Wild eyeshadow palettes everywhere and I was excited to finally find them at the CVS near my sister's house.  I also purchase the new Maybelline concealer that I've been wanting to try. 

That's all for my haul!

Finish Look:

What I used:

Step 1) Apply a creamy blue eyeshadow all over the lid, this will be the base for the turquoise eyeshadow.

Step 2) With a crease brush apply a soft brown eyeshadow on the crease, this will help define the crease. 

Step 3)  With a clean eyeshadow brush, apply the turquoise eyeshadow on the lid.

Step 4) With a same crease brush from "Step 2" blend out the soft brown shade with the turquoise creating a soft gradient. 

Step 5) With a pencil brush, apply a darker matte brown shade on the outer corner only.

Step 6) Apply a nude matte shadow on the brow bone and blend out any harsh lines.

Step 7) With a liner brush line the bottom lash line with a deep blue shade.

Step 8)  Final step line the top lid with a black liner, curl lashes and apply your favorite mascara

and we're done!

Nail of the Week

If you're reading this post through Trendymag.net please go to YunaFashion.Blogspot.com to read the original post, I do not own, sponsor or affiliate with Trendymag.net, they took my content without my permission.  I don't know who are they but a lot of my readers are getting confuse with them and my blog :<

What I used:
- Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail sticker on ring and middle fingernail
- Wet n' Wild nail polish in Club Havana
- Seche Vite top and base coat
- For the gliiter overlay I use Wet n' Wild nail polish in 9.0.2.1 Orange

Current Favorites

If you haven't notice I stop doing monthly favorites because I realized I don't rotate my beauty products that much, once I like something I stick around to them for quite a while.  I will do current favorites if I find enough products I am currently using is different from the last time.

Wet n' Wild Mega Last Nail Polishes
This year I've been obsess with painting my nails ever since looking at all these nail tutorials from blogs.  I don't do much designs on my nails because I tend to mess up a lot and I don't have the patience for them.  My nail designs is mostly consist of a one color look, polka dots, glitter or a very simple design.

Last month Rite Aid had a awesome deal on all Wet n' Wild products where everything was 40% off plus you get a $3 store bucks if you spend over $10 so I went crazy on their nail polishes (if you miss out just wait, they always repeat this deal!).  At first I only bought 2 colors because I wasn't sure if it was good but after trying them out I was amazed by the quality so I went and bought more shades.

These polishes are very smooth upon application and just one coat is opaque enough, not to mention the flat brush applicator makes applying these polishes much easier and less messy compare to other drugstore polishes.  The staying power lasted on me for about a week before it started peeling and chipping (while using Seche Vite base and top coat), which is amazing because where I work most nail polishes never last for that long on my nails.  

For the price and great quality, these polishes win me over and I highly recommend them to everyone who haven't tried them yet. 

Taupe Color Eyeshadows
I never thought I would enjoy taupe eyeshadows until I started trying the famous Mac's Satin Taupe and that's when I was hooked to that color.  I was hopping to find a possible dupe for Mac's Satin Taupe so I went out to buy every drugstore taupe eyesahdows I can find and so far I'm loving these (no Mac dupe yet): Cover Girl Single Eyeshadow in "Tapestry Taupe", L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in "Bronzed Taupe" and Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow in "Tough as Taupe".  Also not in the photo is Wet n' Wild's "Nutty" that I also enjoyed.

E.L.F Eyebrow Duo
For $3 this is not bad and it doesn't smudge or fade on me, I have the medium shade but I wish I got a darker one since this one is a little light on me.

Essence Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
I am very impressed with this eyeliner, it really does last long on my lids without smudging or fading, for the price (under $3) it could possible replace my beloved L'oreal Lineur Intense!

Heroine Make Kiss Me Volume and Curl Mascara
I remember using this in the past but I forgot how much I like it, after repurchasing and trying it again this is now my favorite mascara.  It really does hold the curl and it rarely smudge.  My other favorite mascara is Cover Girl's Lash Blast but the wand is too big for my short lashes that it makes it hard to get them on my inner corner, the wand in this one is small and perfect size for my lashes.  This mascara is hard to find if you don't live near a Asian beauty shop since the mascara is from Japan, however you can find them on Ebay, Sasa, Imomoko or any online store that carries Japanese cosmetics.  

Clarins Multi-Active Skin Renewal Serum
This is a sample size I received from Sephora but I'm really liking how smooth and soft it made my skin feel, not much on hydration but it's great for summer since it's not too heavy or greasy on.  The only thing that's stopping me from buying a full size is the price, $63 which is expensive for my wallet!  However it is on my wish list if I ever receive a gift card or a discount at Sephora or anywhere that carries Clarins products. 

Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream
I purchase this BB Cream from Pretty and Cute during their holiday sale. After trying this BB Cream several times I have to say I like it better then my Skin79 Hot Pink and VIP Gold. It's very moisturizing and smooth on the skin and it's great if you have dry skin.

Hope you enjoyed today's post and thank you for reading! Disclaimer: I purchase everything.

Collective Drugstore Haul

Some new stuff I got over the past 2 months :]

Target
I purchase the new Garnier BB Cream which I ended up returning :p  I didn't enjoy the formula and it didn't felt like the Asian BB Creams I've tried, to me it was more like a tinted moisturizer.
I also bought the new Revlon Just Bitten lip balm stain which I only paid around $3 because I had coupon, so far I'm liking it!  Will do a review once I'm use it to.
I got the new Simple Makeup wipes since I also had a coupon for it. 

One of my most exciting purchases were these Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips.  These are perfect for people like me who suck at doing nail designs lol.  I only paid $4.27 for each of these since these were on clearance, as pretty and convenient these are I wouldn't paid the full price for it :[

I got two new eye brushes, one blending brush by Target brand and a small smudge brush by Sonia Kashuk. 

From their dollar section I got these cute fruit stationary that I couldn't pass up!

Also from their dollar section I bought two pink organizers

Pretty nice!

CVS
I got two of the new L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow shades since I LOVE these very much and then I went crazy on the Wet n' Wild nail polishes since these were 40% off a while back.

Whole Foods
I bought the Desert Essence Tea Tree Facial Wash ($12.99 for 32 oz that's a lot of product!) and their Tea Tree Oil.  I've heard a lot of good benefits on Tea Tree Oil and since the weather is warmer I want to try something that will keep my skin oil free.  I tried the facial wash already and so far I'm loving it!

That's all!  Coming soon will be my Asian cosmetics haul :]
thank you for reading!
