9. Peripera Watery Face Pride Up! cushion pact in shade 2-Vanilla Beige - too small for all
10. Missha Brown M Magic - shade 23 was a bit light
11. Innisfree Ampoule Intense Cushion - too sticky for my taste
12. Missha Essence - perfect for dry skin, not a fan though.

13. VANT CC Cover - way too light

15. BANILA CO V-V Bouncing Cushion
16. The Face Shop CC Intense Cover Cushion

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!

Peripera Blur Pang Peach Milk Blur

$7.36 at a Clio partnership store owned by JKnLee

     

I love the scent of peaches and one applied onto your face, the aftermath is very "white".
The "white" actually helps with brightening and then I put foundation over to cover that.

But I am a little disappointed because I was just going to use this on my face if I was running late, but the color isn't natural beige or oxidizing as a primer but at least there is a bit of sunscreen in this product!

  

Peripera Saturday night liner 7 Sunday Night and 6 Saturday Choco

Peripera Saturday night liner 7 Sunday Night
Peripera Saturday night liner 6 Saturday Choco

The first time I brought it, I just grabbed it at a sample sale and didn't read what it was. It's a liquid line liner brush. I don't like liner brushes. They were $5 so I wasn't that disappointed. They burn my eye lid when touched, so they aren't friendly with sensitive skin. The Black one has a bit of a glittery look to it. However, after two months of using the black one, I don't think I will be opening my brown one-will be giving that away.

You must wait a few minutes after applying so it doesn't smudge when you blink. It is waterproof and it stays on but I will not re-purchase. You need a method in order to apply it correctly. Don't apply it as while holding the liner parallel from your eyes, hold it perpendicular to get full use of the product. After using it for 2 weeks straight, I really wanted to switch back to gel eyeliners-I still think brush liners aren't for me.

 



 

General Haul #23 - JKnLee #3

I didn't shop here on the Grand Opening on Friday (2/26/2016), but I went on the second day.

The store layout looks like a regular USA Club Clio with brands ranging from Club Clio, goodal, Dr.G, Soo Ae, peripera. Masks from last weekend were in a corner of the store. They were have a Buy one get one free (BOGO) sale. The Club Clio in Union Square was having the same sale celebrating their 1-year anniversary at Union Square. I passed by the Union Square location, but didn't get a chance to go in. Onto the JKnLee BOGO sale at 2 East Broadway in Chinatown, there were orange and white balloons at the entrance. 

The stuff from Dr.G brand are photographed below and the prices are written behind the product: 

       I didn't need any skincare products because I am still working my way through the skincare products I brought in Korea and Taiwan this past winter.

I didn't take pics of the goodal or club clio make-up stuff because I seen them in my previous visits. But they did have mist and other new stuff. Plus, I brought some Clio sun cream/sunscreen ($30) because summer is around the corner.

Here are some masks that I didn't see last week.
  

I know from previous purchases from Korea that the Donkey Milk is not good for my sensitive skin so I didn't purchased that. I got the SooAe instead. The green box (green tea) and red box (snail) were $20 each and the black box (charcoal flower) was $25 each. I went home to try one of the mask and they feel nice and hydrating. I have tried the green tea and snail sheet masks before so I decided to buy the black box. The SooAe brand has 5 sheets. They also had some single SooAe sheet masks near the entrance and I brought 4 out of the bunch-I think there were 10 altogether.

My stash:


Tomorrow is the last day of the BOGO sale! Enjoy shopping!

General Haul #22 - JKnLee Haul #2

Ah, the weather in NYC was in the mid-50F degrees. I wasn't planning on going today, but the sun was nice and warm and I though to hell with hibernation. After the huge sample sale from JKnLee last month.  JKnLee's Instagram advertised that the store was open this weekend for a mega mask sale. 

I'm not really into sheet masks so I didn't have my hopes up. Plus the NYC subway system was running on a weekend schedule so there were delays and route changes. 

They had cute animal sheets mask (10in a box) for $30- but they were BOGO, so you are getting $15 per box if you buy two. Almost all the masks were $15 a box. I couldn't find any information about that brand "The Cure" online so I decided to pass. Clio Sun spray $15 or $20 - can't remember. Goodal oil, snail cream and toners, BB creams were around that price in the corner behind the entrance door. 

Instead, I got goodal gel creams and some make-up products which I didn't get a chance to see last month in the store. Again, I didn't take pics of the goodies inside the store - my apologizes. The goodal creams, toners, emulsions were 3 for $20 along with Clio gelpresso liners, peripera tint set, Clio eyebrown set and some other Clio products. Now the goodies that caught my eye today were the 5 for $5 which include peripera single eye-shadows, clio tints, clio liquid eye shadow, peripera lip gloss and a few others. 

There were shades that weren't popular like coral or peach, but I think those colors look nice on fair skin especially when spring and summer are on the way. I went around noon and my friend went around 6pm today and the inventory were kinda similar. I'm not sure about tomorrow (sunday-2/21) but I think it is worth a trip if you are around Chinatown.

Here is the store outside: 

Here is what I got: 

1. goodal Phytoain Murumuru Seed Hydra Gel Cream (3 for $20)
2. goodal Phytoain Murumuru Seed Hydra Gel Cream
3. goodal Phytoshine Acaiberry Brighetening Cream
4. Peripera Watery Face Pride Up! cushion pact in shade 2-Vanilla Beige - $10
5. Peripera My Color Gloss in shade 4 - $1 (my mom loved this shade so it went into her drawer)
6. Peripera Saturday Night Liner in shade 6 - Saturday Choco - $1
7. Clio Virgin Kiss Milky-Water Tint Milky Color with Longlasting in shade 3-Virgin Strawberry -  $1
8. Clio Gelpresso WaterProof Pastel Upper Liner in shade 1-Keep Calm - $1
9. Clio Pro Glitter Pigment shade 6 - Dark Wave - $1

I think I'm happier with my mini haul this month instead of the massive haul last month because I was able to control my budget spending ahaha.

Individual reviews coming up soon.

General Haul #19 - NYC Korean sample sale (from JKNLEE #1)

I missed the first Korean sample sale last summer hosted by Peach &Lily (still upset about it) so I was not going to miss this one. I'm more of a skincare person so I think I would have got more stuff from the Peach & Lily then today's JKNLEE sale. I have been buying Korean skincare and make-up products for a year to realize "what is sale price and retail price", "what is worth getting" and "what isn't according to my skin". I vowed to myself that I would spend less starting this year on cosmetics products but it hasn't been working that well since the year starts with a sample sale. Hurry up, tomorrow is the last day!

I thought that I give the place a hour after opening to avoid the long line and crazy crowd so I arrived at noon and wait 30 minutes to get it. They handed me a small bag to put your goodies in as you shopped. I understand that some people want to read what they are buying so they take a bit longer. I'm one of those people that look, pick or grab and look for the line. I'm kinda upset that there wasn't anymore Mr.G's cream for damaged skin, but I got the goodal's emulsion and essence. But many people were interested in the make-up instead of the skincare, so I went towards the skincare first and then slowly tried to merged into the make-up section. There aren't any testers so the customers were opening the packages to view the color and stuff. It's best to research a bit about the colors before buying. The reps there are very nice asking questions and maintaining the crowds.

Here's my list of goodies:

1. Soo Ae The Qure Premium Facial Essence Mask E.G.F - 5 pcs - $5
2. Ostia Korea - Snail Jade Pure Essence Skin Gel Mask - 10pcs - $10
3. Ostia Korea - Snail Emerald Pure Essence Skin Gel Mask - 10pcs - $10
4. TonyMoly water melting gloss Delight in 06 Mellow Red - $5
5. TonyMoly bam bam tint Delight 04 Orange Girl - $5
6. TonyMoly Fruit Princess Gloss 1 Strawberry - $5
7. Clio Gelpresso Melting Lipstick 14 Runaway - $5
8. Clio Gelpresso Melting Lipstick 15 Queen's Red - $5
9. Clio Diamond Lipstick 24 Swing Pink - $5
10. Clio Diamond Lipstick 03 Noble Pink - $5
11. Clio Micro Fine Collagen Mist - $10
12. Clio Kill cover Cushion Founwear 04 Ginger - (2 boxes) - $20 each
13. Clio Waterproof Eyeliner 2 Brown - $5
14. Clio Kill Brown WaterProof Pencil Liner - $5
15. Clio Gelpresso WaterProof Pencil Gel Liner - 6 Metallic Silver - $5
16. Clio Gelpresso WaterProof Pastel Upper Liner - $5
17. goodal Phytorain Murumuru Seed Hydra Emulsion - $7
18. goodal Phytoshine Acaiberry Brightening Emulsion - $7
19. goodal Luminant Plus Whitening Essence - $7 (if I knew about this product beforehand, I would have grabbed more)
20. Peripera Saturday night liner 7 Sunday Night - $5
21. They gave me three samples - a snail ruby mask sheet and 2 The Cure Pure Nature 3-step Clean Care. It is basically something for your face, hair and body. Perfect for sleepovers or stay-overs.

I didn't get any of their $1 stuff (nail stickers,  eye-shadow) or 3 for $15 (nail polish, lip tint) or Goodal Golden Snail sheet masks. Everything here was a bargain. I think I will be good and save some for other people for tomorrow which is their last day!

  

These 3 pictures are taken from NY.racked.com because it was so crowded and hectic for me to take pics of the store.

Individual reviews coming soon throughout the year!
