Asia Haul: BB Cream, haircare, skincare and all! (01.2012)

A quick simple visual post for ya'll today. I love seeing beauty items from other parts of the world so I thought I'd share mine. Keep an eye out for anything you might want a review for, I'd be glad to do one for you ^_^


Well then, let the fun begin!










Quick photo wrap-up...


HAUL- Asian beauty products 01-2012

My focus recently has really been more on skincare rather than makeup. Ya'll know I adore a good foundation/base but I'm always left feeling a little guilty when smothering my face with it. As good as it might look, I want my still to get some benefits while I'm covering up. So of course, back to BB Creams I went as they offer a balance between skincare and base coverage. My favourite is of course the VIP GOLD from Skin79 but I thought I'd also try out THE ORIENTAL GOLD in case it is better. 

And on the topic of skincare, this exfoliating peeling gel from B&C had been calling my name for months ever since I saw it first. As much as I thought the Laneige version was effective and "cool", I like the watery feel of this one. It certainly has the consistency of a liquid gel instead of a thicker cream, rather refreshing in my opinion.





Oh my hair....

I am thrilled to report that my hair has started to grow out longer again. Even though it's always such a love/hate relationship with short hair/long hair, I love the romantic ethereal look of long locks. But they don't come easy, especially if you are not working with virgin hair. After the bleaching and dying (I do miss my hair dye...) AND refusing to cut off the coloured bits, my only option is to condition like a mad woman.

Now having long hair doesn't meant that I always have the patience and skill to "style" it properly. I'm always on the look out for easy, quick and effective style products that do not require a degree in hairbrush wielding. Since my natural hair does have some texture to it, I'm looking forward to adapting the technique of "scrunch and spray". I like the slight bit of rump from just rolling out of bed but I'm not a fan of the frizz, hopefully a hair cream will do the trick!

I won't say much about these since they most definitely will be recieving some more attention in a review or something later on, for that I am certain. These are just the cutest nail polish set from Etude House (a Korean beauty brand).



Let me know if anything catches your eye.
I'd be glad to do a review ^_^


Ciao,

Would love it if you could review the Skin79 BB cream you just got!

Also, do you not like the Hadalabo one anymore?

@Anne

I haven't used the new Skin79 Oriental Gold BB cream too much yet but once I'm ready there will definitely be a review.

As for the Hadalabo I still love it to bits but I feel the Hadalabo is more like a foundation with super hydration...but nothing else other than that. I would probably call the Hadalabo a foundation with a little extra skincare.

The Skin79 VIP Gold BB Cream is more like a skincare with a little foundation coverage. It actually helps me with acne marks and improving the texture of my skin.

They are both awesome, just depends on what you're using it for!

Gotcha! I'm looking for skincare-ish BB cream too. :) Do you think you'll try the new skin79 Vital BB Cream? Any chance we'll see a review in the near future? (I know you must already be overloaded with BB creams, lol).
