Chosungah Luna Petit Peach

Chosungah Luna is a makeup brand by the famous Korean makeup artist Cho Sung Ah, she also has a skincare line Chosungah Raw and another makeup/skincare line Chosungah 22. Chosungah Luna is not very well known if you live outside of Korea. I first heard about the Chosungah Raw line and even brought some items, and while browsing G-market I found that she has this Chosungah Luna.

 
Chosungah Luna has a few different collections like the Classy, Lucid Look, Royal Marine and Petit Peach range, which is the one that I have. The collection consists of eight items, photo fitting layer, blending foundation, up lifting, blending cheek, micro blur powder,face liner, two tone volume mascara, blur tint and balm

I brought this set from G-market, the seller had the whole set plus an extra set of the blending foundation, up lighting and blending cheek as a bonus. Sadly there is none left on sale, but you can still buy the products separately on G-market. I will be reviewing these three products soon.

Essence Cherry Blossom Girl Blush

Essence is consistently pushing out new limited edition products and the newest limited edition line is the Cherry Blossom Girl. In Australia I have only ever seen Essence sold at Target and Priceline, and the display is always neglected and most products have been opened. So I was browsing my local Priceline when I saw that the Essence display was looking clean and fresh, with a new mini display for the Cherry Blossom Girl products. The only thing that I wanted to try was the blush in Asian Sensation.

REVIEW - MUA Undressed Eyeshadow Palette

The Urban Decay Naked Palette is a HG for almost everyone who loves makeup, and while I do wish to own it one day I cannot justify paying $50 for it right now. I like how its all neutral and get to get you from day to night, but on most days I don't have time to apply eyeshadow and that's why I cannot justify it. Anyway there have been loads of other cheaper brands that have copied created similar palettes. Undressed is MUA version of UD Naked, this brand has been getting a lot of raves lately and a few months ago they were having a 35% off with free shipping. I ordered two palettes and some single eyeshadows.

MUA Heaven and Earth Eyeshadow Palette - REVIEW

I first heard about MUA and this eyeshadow palette from Pixiwoo, on YouTube. I checked the website and when I saw that they offer international shipping I was really happy. But I closed the browser without buying anything, and a few months later I checked again and this time they were having 35% off everything plus free shipping.

Real Techniques Travel Essentials - REVIEW

Hello girls, today I will be reviewing the Travel Essentials set from the Real Techniques brushes. This set consists of three brushes and like all of the other sets this comes with a panoramic case. It's not the best quality but it does the job. I got this set from iHerb.com and they offer cheap shipping to Australia and other countries, use this coupon code to get $10 off order $40 or more, or $5 off for orders less than $40.

Big W Beauty Sales

Big W had some great sales on most of the beauty brands. So I went in on the first day of the sale after work and since my local Big W does not have a big make up section most of the brands were wiped out.
In the end I only picked up four items. The new Lashblast Clump Crusher mascara from Covergirl, Face Base Primer from Face of Australia (heard it was a dupe for a high end primer) and two nail polishes from Australis in Speck-tacular and Shimmy Shake. Go check your local Big W for more beauty sales.

G-market Haul #7

I'm back with yet another haul from G-market, but hold your horses this time round there is absolutely nothing for me. I had given my sister a few items from my SooRyeHan haul and she fell in love with them. Since G-market can be a bit intimidating at first glance, I helped her place her first order. She just ordered from one seller, so shipping did not take very long. But she did have to pay an extra 20, 000 Won ($19.00) once the package arrived at the G-market warehouse.

E.L.F Shimmering Facial Whip - REVIEW

I really love adding a hint of shimmer to my face. So while shopping at the E.L.F website when I thought I should give them a go since I have read so much good things about them.
Left to Right: Spotlight, Camilia, Pink Lemonade, Golden Peach 

Vichy LiftActiv Cream - REVIEW

Don't you just love brands who like to keep their products simple, in terms of packing and advertising. Instead of focusing on how to catch the costumers eyes by pretty packing, they focus of what really counts, which is the ingredients. To me Vichy is a brand that is so understated, it's a brand that I have seen sold on sasa and various online shops. But it never grabbed my eye, until I found escentual.com and they were having a massive sale on all French pharmacy brands like A-Derma, Avene, La Roche-Posay and Vichy. 

Having heard some good things about the brand, I decided to take advantage of this sale and buy the Vichy LiftActiv Day Cream. 

Vichy LiftActive Night Cream - REVIEW

I have been hearing lots of good reviews about the Vichy line and decided to try it out and see if all the good reviews are really true. It must have been luck because I happened to stumble upon Escentual.com which were having a 33% off all French pharmacy brands and Vichy was one of them. The sale was ending soon so I had to be quick, one of the items I brought was the Vichy LiftActiv Night Cream.


It's Skin Prestige Serum D'escargot - REVIEW

I have been meaning to write this review for the longest time now, but I just forgot about until now when I was going through my photos. Snail creams have been/still are a big this in Korea right now. It's Skin Prestige D'escargot has been a must try, I tired and did not see what all the rave was about. Today I will be reviewing the Prestige Serum D'escargot.


Empties #5

This time I haven't gotten around to finishing as much products as last time. I have been really good in that I haven't opened any new products. I'm trying to finish everything that I have open right now. I can control myself when it comes to skin care because I like to completely finish the product and then open something new, but when it comes to body care products I just cannot do the same. I have about 5-6 bottles of body lotions open and they are all over the house, in the bathroom, bedroom, near my bed, near my desk, and on my dresser. I WILL finish them without opening another one. Anyway let's see what I finished this time.


Luview Whitening Capsule BB Cream - REVIEW

A long time ago I tired the LuView Whitening Capsule BB Cream and hated it. My skin type is dry and I know that it is my fault that I did not notice that this BB cream is targeted for people with oily skin. But when I tired this it highlighted how dry my face was and trust me that's not something you want to highlight. Anyway, it just seemed to drown in my collection of BB creams, until this summer when I wanted to try something 'new'.
