Sephora Play - October 2016

The Cool Cut
The Next Big Things

The bag says, "Lipstick and things", so I amused that there was at least two lipsticks.

1. Smashbox - Always On Matte Liquid - Lipstick in Driver's Seat
2. Skin INC - Pure Revival Peel
3. Belif - The True Cream Aqua Bomb
4. Christophe Robin - Regenerating Mask with Rare Prickly Pear Seed Oil
5. Blinc - Mascara Amplified
6. Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris perfume sample

Nothing was new to me in this bag.
I have owned all the products except the mascara product and I don't use mascara.
Highly disappointed in this month's bag.
I have seen other Youtubers Sephora Play Box and was much more interesting that mine.
Plus, since when did Sephora give out different products per bag?
You can do better, Sephora. Let's see what next month brings!

Taiwan Vacation Skincare Routine

In October is the change of seasons everywhere.
In Taiwan there were chilly mornings and hot afternoon and humid nights so finding the right skincare needs is a must!

This was a picture of all the products I used in the month staying overseas!

Nature Republic By Flower Lip Scrub

Nature Republic By Flower Lip Scrub - perfect timing because I wasn't sure where to buy a lip scrub which I desperately needed during this winter time. Now my lipstick glides on smoothly.

But after using it once a week, I stop using it on my lips because it felt a big harsh so I have been using it on my body instead. No scent.

MISSHA Yei Hyun Cleanliness Cleansing Foam 170ml

 
MISSHA Yei Hyun Cleanliness Cleansing Foam 170ml

Very medicinal, it reminds me of the Hanyul cleanser.
I believe this is best for oily skin because it does strip off most of your natural barrier of moisture from your face if you have dry skin.
I have been using this for about 2 months daily and I like it.
It cleans, washing off dirt and oil.
I have combination skin and sometimes my skin feels a bit dry after but nothing a toner can't fix.

Macy's Estee Lauder MakeUp and Skincare Package

Macy's Estee Lauder MakeUp and Skincare Package

Recently Estee Lauder had a promotion with Macy for any $35 purchase, you get a makeup trio and skincare duo. My mom is a huge fan of Estee Lauder but I never really brought much stuff from the brand. The only thing I own from this brand is the Deluxe All-Over Face Compact, mascara and a couple of blush brushes and I loved the blush. The blush colors are so pigmented so I know that I wouldn't be worried about the color payoff on the eye shadow that I will be getting.

The primer is very creamy and your foundation looks nice on top of the primer.

I'm not a fan of the mascara because I have used that same mascara in full-sized before and it smudges. The anti-aging creams were given to my mom. Originally I wanted to pink the famous brown colored packaging night eye cream, but my mom wanted this set instead. She even took the perfume-I liked the scent also. The eye pencil was mediocre to me.

But the eye shadow palette!!!!! Gorgeous. When I opened the eye shadow compact - I gasped!!! I never have gasped when I opened makeup-there was a balance of shimmer and matte finished shadows.

And with the eye-chain? I wanted the panda instead but I wasn't given the option to choose :( 

Be the Skin - Botanical Nutrition Serum

Be the Skin - Botanical Nutrition Serum - $35 retail 50ml - good for all skin types

I have been using this as a emulsion instead of a serum.

It is a thick creamy serum.

I don't like it because it a bit tickling and burns a little for my sensitive skin.

I either use it as a body cream but I gave up using it after a week and gave it to my mom who has dry skin.
