Serious SkinCare Glycolic 3 Mask

I bought this mask from HSN.com because I heard them talking about it and how it helped tighten pores. Anything that claims it can tighten pores draws me in because I have large pores. So I decided to give this a try.

I am so glad I gave this product a try. It does everything it claims to do on the label of the container. It is a thick, creamy mint green mask. You apply this on damp or dry skin and leave it on your face for 15-20 minutes or until it dries. With this you need to apply a generous layer to cover your face. One thing I noticed about this a few minutes after I put it on, was that it REALLY tightened. It is one of those masks where you cannot move your mouth. I realize that some people do not like that feeling. But that is the tightening of the pores, and to me it is fine. It has a slight smell but nothing overwhelming to my nose. It cleanses well and takes off the layer of dead skin. :) As for the people who have sensitive skin, I do not have sensitive skin, so I cannot speak for if it will be too harsh. Dry skin users, this mask you can use. This mask is for all skin types, but again it depends on if you are comfortable with that tightening sensation. Overall I give this product a 5/5.

Canmake Blushes ~Cream and Powder~

I recently received these Canmake blushes from a friend of mine and I am so happy she sent them to me. They are so pretty and cute. ^_^







These blushes are very good in pigmentation. Both blushes have gold sparkles to it, and at times it can be strong so you need to be careful when applying this because a little really goes a long way. I recommend to apply these blushes outside the first time you use it to see how much you want/need. That said, I love the cream blush! It has very nice color payoff and stays on my cheeks all day and I have oily skin. As for the powder blush, on my skin tone it blends into my skin and looks like nothing is there. On the other hand, the brush that comes with it is like no other drugstore brush that comes with a compact. The blushes that come with blushes in the US are not good at all and this brush is very good. I love it, very very soft. I would use this blush when I am going out somewhere and want a small extremely natural glow to my face. But usually I would want a blush that would show up more on my olive skin tone. I rate the cream blush a 5/5 and the powder blush a 4/5.

Japan Town Haul  *Detail pic heavy*

I recently went to Japan Town in San Fransisco and I bought some things I have had my eyes on since the first time I went there. The items shown in the pictures are bought from Daiso, And some different stationary stores.

Cute pencil pouch. I had to get this, even though it was a bit expensive priced at $ 19 . (Bought at Stationary)

 


Inside of the case. Bright green with white polka dots.  ;)

I have been wanting a pair of cute travel chopsticks for awhile now and I bought a set that comes with a case. Very good quality.  (Daiso)




I love these plastic sheets. You put them underneath your notebook pages so when you write, the writing does not crease into the other page. Interesting huh? I thought so! (Stationary)


This bow design on a set of 3 gift bags is just adorable. I had to buy! (Daiso)

For this cute product, I thought it was a cute must have. This is a microfiber cloth wrapped around a super soft sponge with a cute design on it. It is used to wash your back and has strings attached to the sides so you can slide it back and forth on. Very soft. (Daiso)



General cotton pads. (Daiso)

These nifty folders will come in handy for the upcoming year. It comes in a pack of three of the same design. They are very thin and are made to hold papers. (Daiso)



I wanted to get come nice notebooks and what better than to buy Japanese notebooks! These were quite expensive. All together, the three of these came out to be about 20 dollars. :P Even though they were expensive, I was willing to pay because I am very picky with my school supplies. Everything has to be perfect. (Stationary)

I bought some little supplies to go along with new school year. A pencil, eraser, and white out. (Stationary)
