Haul Haul Haulsssss!!

I have not been really posted for a while... just been kinda lazy :D So today I finally received my 2nd haul from sasa.com! I actually placed this order on Oct 30. So it took nearly 5 weeks to get here this time.. *sigh* Well I can't complaint. At least, it got here! My second haul is just a mini package from Sephora... so let see what have I ordered :]

From Sephora.... I ordered 2 sets of Philosophy Grace Me with A Kiss. It was indeed a totally steal. It comes with a full size kiss me lip balm with two 2 oz size grace shower gel. Only the lip balm itself is retails for $14. But now the whole set was only $5. So of course, this set went OOS within 3 days :P I'm glad I have grabbed 2 of them with the free shipping code hehe The shower gel is just good enough to bring to the gym you know.


From SaSa.com.... this is actually my 2nd haul from them. I mean, online of course. So what I have ordered this time is BUNCH of "green bean" powder and some cucumber water from Kuan Yuan Lian. But again, like what I have mentioned in my previous sasa haul post. I don't know how the translation works over there in Taiwan. Those are certainly not "green bean" They are actually mung bean. So I guess they were just translating it directly from word to word. So these mung bean powder is actually for multi use, you can use it to wash face or to make facial mask. It will do the deep cleaning on your pores and suck all oil out like mud mask. I have also ordered a little bottle of hair conditioner from Kose, a eye gel mask :D and a pack of chinese medication sleeping mask from TCM mask.

SaSa haul !

Yaddaaaa my SASA haul finally arrived today. It did arrive earlier than what I was expecting actually (order placed on oct 22nd). So here are my haul....

From left to right (top to bottom):

• Kuan Yuan Lian Cucumber Water large size (180ML)
• Kuan Yuan Lian Cucumber Water Mist w/ Refill (50ML/ea)
• Kuan Yuan Lian Cucumber Water small size (75ML/ea)
• FoodSkin Kiwi Yogurt Mask
• Cookie mirror compact (free gwp from sasa)
• My Beauty Diary Facial Absorbent Paper
  

Right now I'm testing that kiwi yogurt mask on my face. I have never heard of SkinFood actually, though when I was doing search on the HK yahoo site and they happens to have their own site and even a flagship store in HK. Plus the review from sasa looked pretty good.... So anyway. We will see if it really works, but so far it just smell sooo good that I totally wanna lick it off my face lol

And as you can see, I have also ordered lot of Kuan Yuan Lian Cucumber Water (廣源良菜瓜水). Though I gotta say, it is actually not cucumber that what you or me are thinking about. It is another type of melon vegetable. I have no clue why they translated it to cucumber when it comes to English. So this cucumber water is basically similar to Evian or Avene water, which you could use for after sun burnt, cooling for summer or to set your makeup. It is extracted from natural cucumber stem, with no additive. So it should be suitable for all skin type.

Another thing that I have got is just a pack of facial absorbent paper from My Beauty Diary (我的美麗日記 吸油面紙). My beauty diary is a very famous brand from Taiwan. They are specialized in paper facial mask. Their facial masks are very effective yet very inexpensive. However, most of the sale ones are OOS on sasa. And those that are in stock @ sasa are all MUCH higher than the regular retail price. So I will just wait till I go back to Hong Kong to stock them up :P I'm a bit disappointed about their absorbent paper though, wish I would just order the Kuan Yuan Lian green bean powder instead. This facial absorbent is in the form that I hate the most - Paper. I'm too spoiled by Gatsby oil blotting sheet. So seems like the paper type would never work good on me somehow. And they just tend to break easily :/
