I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

General Haul #47 - Club Clio Annual Summer Warehouse Sale

Clio Club (partnerships with brands of Peripera, Dr.G, Sooae, and Goodal) had their first annual summer warehouse sale happening in Union Square NYC from August 16 to August 31 2017. Run to the sale if you're in the area..


I went on the third day so I had low expectations but there was plenty of stuff that I wanted. I'm not a big makeup fan so I didn't see much makeup as compared to the skincare products that day in stock. They usually stock everyday based on the inventory. The price points were stuff that were 2 for $1, 3 for $5, 3 for $10 and $10. I mainly went for the 3 for $10 part. I didn't need any cushion or foundation and there was stacks of those. And I got a couple of my favorite eye liners (gelpresson).

Here is a list of what I got:
  1. goodal - deep cleansing gel to foam
  2. goodal - moist cleansing foam
  3. goodal - refine pore clearing toner
  4. goodal - waterest first essence
  5. goodal - refine pore tightening essence
  6. goodal - double bright intense serum
  7. Dr.G blackhead 3-step solution
  8. Dr.G - A-Clear Aroma Spot Toner
  9. Dr.G - A-Clear Aport reparing Serum
  10. goodal - daffodil body wash moisture
  11. goodal lily body wash radiance
  12. goodal orchid body mist
  13. goodal daffodil body mist
  14. ClubClio Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner - shade 4 in Dark Choco
  15. ClubClio Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner - shade 7 in Golden Black
Only 8 of these products are for me and I will review the products that I write in future reviews. Keep on the lookout for those!

Clio Gelpresso Melting Lipstick 5 Lady Peach




The shade Lady Peach (5) is a light coral color with simmer and glitter.
The color pigmentation didn't last long, but it is moisturizing.
This had been a favorite of mine this past summer.
Perfect for "no-makeup" days.

Clio Clio Art Lipstick MO28 Blossom Ruby and MO14 Rose Pink and Art Shadow 417 Forte Green Brown

I got these lipsticks at a the Club Clio Korean sample sale.
The packaging are soo cute and artistic!
The shades were MO28 Blossom Ruby and MO14 Rose Pink.
Hydrated and creamy but I got bored of this spring color after a week. 



Clio Art Shadow 417 Forte Green Brown
Rich color
Love the combination of color and it's very shimmery.
I was going to buy the jcat "green tea frap" eye shadow trio which is very similar to this but I didn't cause I ended getting this first.
I love the green, brown and gold.

General Haul #37 - JkNLee #5 Chinatown NYC

My wallet is still recovering from all these sample sales from this past summer.
Thankfully, I ended this summer on the unofficial last day of summer with another sample sale.
JKnLee was hosting a sample sale for 5-days from September 1-September 5 from 10am to 8pm in celebration of Labor Day weekend. I went on the first day to see if I can find anything interesting because I never was able to make it to the first day of the jknlee sales.

I think I was very good in my purchases this time around because I did purchase many  makeup things from the Union Square Clio sample sale 2 weeks ago. Plus the annual Peach and Lily skincare haul played a part in my limited purchases yesterday.

Below is a picture of my goodies.

  1. Clio All Day Free Light Foundation in Natural Beige
  2. Clio Multi Cushion CC in Natural Beige
  3. Goodal Phytorain Amazonia Energy Oil
  4. Clio Diamond Lipstick in 18 Glossy Coral
  5. Clio Diamond Lipstick in 23 Deepen Brown
  6. Clio ArtLipstick in M028 Blossom Ruby
I can't wait to try out the ArtLipsticks!
I have two in my collection now!!

Individual reviews coming up when I use the products halfway.

General Haul #35 - Club Clio Sample Sale at the Union Square NYC


Load and behold the first Korean sample sale that I brought my mom to!
She loved it!
She keep throwing stuff into my hand held shopping basket.
Club Clio is a Korean makeup cosmetics company that has really highly pigmented and quality products.
I have been using this brand for about a year and I will keep using it for a while.


Onto the sale, it was my first time visit to the union square location and it was pretty spacious if compare to the Brooklyn location.
I decided to go on the third day out of the four day sale to avoid the crowds.
But the skincare stuff were gone-it's ok, I will gladly wait for the Peach and Lily sale next week!

This current sale had a lot of makeup-mainly lipsticks and powders. Lipsticks were 3 for $10. I ended up getting three Lippies, one lip balm, 1 eye crayon and 1 eye shadow. I tried to get stuff that I don't owe as of now at home, especially the "art" line.

I think the foundations and powders were worth more because they were on sale for 3 for $20 but I have way too many foundation so my mom just picked a few. I'm surprised that they had shade 5-sand and shade 6-tan which are the darkest shade.

The goodies that I got were:
  1. Clio Kill Cover Highest Wear Foundation in shade 6-Tan
  2. Clio Kill Cover Highest Wear Foundation in shade 5- Sand
  3. Clio Kill Cover Highest Wear Pact in shade 5 - Sand
  4. Clio Virgin Kiss Tinted Lip in shade 15- Hwa
  5. Clio Virgin Kiss Tinted Lip in shade 23 Clubber
  6. Clio Gelpresso Melting Lipsticks in shade 5 - Lady Peach
  7. Clio Virgin Kiss Tinted Lip Primer
  8. Clio Concealer
  9. Clio Art Lipstick in shade M014-Rose Pink
  10. Clio Art Shadow in Shade 417- Forte Green Brown
  11. Clio Virgin Kiss Super Moisturizing Pot Lip Balm in shade 2-Miss Peach
  12. Peripera Letter Me Waterproof Eye Crayon in shade 7-So Bad
  13. Clio Diamond Lip stick in shade 13 - GlamBeige
  14. Clio Diamond Lip Stick in shade 15 - MistyBeige
  15. Goodal Energy Oil

I will do some individual reviews on the products I got for myself in the upcoming future!

CLIO Kill Cover Realest Wear Moist Foundation SPF35 PA++ 30ml

CLIO Kill Cover Realest Wear Moist Foundation SPF35 PA++ 30ml
 


I had high expectations because I loved the founwear cushion. This was much better.
The coverage is higher and you don't need a lot of foundation.
The shade 04 Ginger for this foundation is a bit darker than the Clio Kill Liquid founwear cushion Ginger shade so I was happy since I am a NC23 and I felt that the Ginger shade cushion was a bit light for me.

Well worth it for $20, luckily I brought two bottles.
This is been my favorite non cushion foundation this summer.
I usually don't use foundation without the cushion because using a cushion, in my opinion, is much more convenient.
However, this foundation surprised me. It goes on well and doesn't melt (even in 90F degrees weather)- believe me, I have tested it when it was HOT in nyc!

Clio Perfect Sun Cream and Clio Pore Primer Sun Cream

I brought these sun creams for the summer.
 
 


I opened the perfect skin right away and start using it for my daily morning routine.
There was a problem with mine because after I ripped the plastic seal off, part of the opening was clogged with the plastic.
So after that, it was hard for me to squeeze all the product out.
This is definitely a cream, not a gel so it's a bit sticky and takes a while for it to absorb into the skin.
It doesn't have a white cast if you rub and work into it.
The Perfect Sun cream is best to use on the body.
For the Korean sun creams, this is nice but I prefer to use gel sunscreen on my face so it glides smoothly.
