Skin and haircare haul


Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

A few weeks back i was watching one of Fuzkittie's youtube videos and i kind of had a sudden realisation that i've been taking my generally clear skin for granted by not really taking care of it, so then i kind of went on a rampage and bought some things. Unfortunately my skin hasn't been that great lately, probably due to lack of sleep and stress. I also still haven't been able to find a product that successfully removes the ugly blackheads on my nose. I hate blackheads so much *angryface*. A lot of people have claimed that Biore pore strips work really well for them and i wouldn't even mind buying them frequently but they don't even work for me at all! It's not fair )'; I haven't tried a lot of the products yet but if any of them turn out awesome i'll be sure to blog about them.

Products top row (left to right):


(Japanese brand) I've read a lot of great things about the Essential hair masks and have been meaning to try them for a while but they were out of stock on Sasa (A cosmetics chain store in Hong Kong) for quite a while. I find that a lot of their products are quite cheap compared to prices on Ebay and standard shipping to Australia is only $6. There is English on their site that is perfectly translated, except that on some of the products it says "exclusive of Hong Kong orders" which i thought meant that only Hong Kong customers can buy them, but in Chinese it actually says that they can't ship them to Hong Kong :S Other than that the English is fine. A lot of the popular products are often out of stock though, like the Fairy Drops Platinum Mascara which is only US $13.90. I also bought the shampoo and conditioner to try and they all smell so good :D

Note: don't rely on the "email me when stock comes in again" option because i find that it fails half the time.

(Taiwanese brand) Fuzkitte said that the blackhead remover is an amazing product and recommended it to anyone, even if you don't get breakouts.

(Taiwanese brand) Bought these because i have dark circles and eye bags, especially when i smile. I hope i notice some difference after using them. I've only used them once so far.

(American brand?) A lot of people have claimed that this mask works really well so i decided to give it a try. It claims to "helps dry up acne pimples, rise away blackheads & shrink enlarged pores". It's actually green - old school style, and kind of smells like toothpaste haha.

(Taiwanese brand) My Beauty Diary is well known for their masks which are really popular. They smell so yummy and make my face feel so refreshed (; A nice treat for when you're feeling tired and stressed out.

Anyway, i really need to study now. I have two Economics exams next week, one on Monday and the other on Friday. I really want to watch the Roland Garros finals on Sunday night (Nadal vs Federer) but i don't think i should stay up late when i have an exam the next day. We'll see, maybe i can sleep for a bit during the evening so i can wake up and watch it :S I'm expecting a 5 set match so it'll probably take a while.
