May Haul. (Singapore haul 2)

So this month I spent quite alot again T.T When it's the sale season I tend to spend more! Anyways once again it's all skincare products from korean brands! So excited to use them! ^^ Since college started I've been trying to look my best!

On the 1st of may Etude house and The Face Shop were having a sale but Etude house was so packed I didn't get anything but I got some nail polishes from The Face Shop! I also went to it's skin and picked up one of their 10 series serum!

Also on the day I went out with my friend YiChing, the Holika Holika sales assistant told me they were going to discontinue the Honey Sleeping Pack and it was going off at half price! So I got 1 more to keep. Etude house mask were on offer at 5 for RM15 so I picked up 5 since I've never tried their mask before!

Review: {Holika Holika} Holy Berry Tint

Hehehe I'm in a very good mood now so I decided to do a review. I just can't stop smiling now :D

What I'm reviewing now is Holika Holika's Holy berry in the shade number 1 Strawberry! It has 2 shades, 1 Strawberry, 2 Raspberry and 3 orange. I got the first 1 strawberry! I was swatching it in the shop and decided to go for the first one (:

The product comes in the tube thing and has a normal lip gloss kind of applicator. Forgot to take a picture of the applicator.

With lip tint!

What Holika Holika Says:


"Holika Holika Holy Berry Tint is a water based tint that leaves your lips with a refreshed feeling. It won’t only moisturize your lips but it also creates a softening effect, by using patented Micro Nutrients Berry Blend. Water-soluble pigment creates more vivid color, which makes it great to use before lipsticks or glosses for longer lasting and added color."

PROS:
-Nice colour

-Good for gradient lips

-Strawberry scent which is quite ok smelling for me might be cons for other people.

-Easily spread 

-Buildable colour

-Long lasting

-Cute!

CONS:
-Drying, unlike what it says. It's better to use a lipbalm before appling this!

Overall rating: 4/5 If it was moisturizing it would get a 5/5! Oh well. 

Repurchase?: Maybe but not this colour. I might be trying out other brands since there is so many other brands out there in the market!

Oh and I was feeling a little vain

Review: {Holika Holika} Honey Sleeping Pack Blueberry

Hello~

I'm back with another review and today it's a sleeping pack! Since my skin is really dry I decided to pamper it a little more so I asked my brother to help me get it for me when he went to korea!

So a sleeping pack is basically something you put on your face before you go to bed at night and when you wake up in the morning you're suppose to wash it off and continue with your skincare routine.

In the end I decided to try the holika holika sleeping pack ^^

So it comes in a thick glass jar.


 photo 20130508_205312_zpsd90ca7f2.jpg
On the side it has this cute holika holika logo sticker with the witch on it! So cute!


 photo 20130509_123647_zpsf2a48a0d.jpg
The bottom of the package~ Contains 20% blueberry extract and 20% honey. Oh and the pricetag hehe

Honey jar~ It

This product didn't include a spatula or a spoon so I used my own. This amount is enough to cover my entire face!

When you apply the product without spreading it.


 photo 20130508_205647_zpse0e83b05.jpg
Spreaded! It absorbs quite fast so it doesn't get all over your pillow when you sleep!

What Holika Holika says:

"Holika Holika Honey Sleeping Pack contains honey extracts and essences. Honey is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, which are wonderful beauty aids that nourish the skin. Honey is rich and thick, making it an effective moisturizer. Like other humectants, honey binds moisture to the skin and helps it stay hydrated. So it not only smoothes dry, rough, wrinkled skin, but honey also makes skin supple and plumps up wrinkles. Has strong honey scent and texture like real honey.

Blueberry: Contains certain nutrients that can counteract the hormonal conditions which encourage pimples. Many of the vitamins in blueberries may neutralize or normalize oil levels in your skin, making it healthier and less likely to accumulate sebum."




It moisturized my skin so I'm satisfied with that! When I wake up I don't really feel anything on my skin but when I wash may face I can feel a thin film being washed off! The price of this 90ml product is only 8800won which is about RM24! Which is pretty cheap considering the size! Downside it's only that cheap if you live in Korea!

PROS
-Does not cause breakout

-Doesn't feel heavy on

-Not as sticky as I expected

-The honey scent! I really like it but some people might not

-Hydrates my skin

-Cheap! Considering the size!

CONS
-No spatula but you could always use your own!

-Might be too oily for people with oily skin but since I have dry skin it's fine

Overall Rating: 4/5

Repurchase?: Maybe in the different flavours/scent hehehe or other different sleeping pack been wanting to try out tony moly ones!


Side note I'm going to have my college orientation on the 15th! Gah nervous and excited! Hope I'll make friends who have the same interest as me! Kpop and Makeup ><
