Yet another Haul~

Quick post! Some bloggers say, the easiest post is a NOTD, but for a shopaholic like myself, I feel the haul posts are the easiest~~ This is me cheating after neglecting my blog for almost a month XD

I was in Atlanta for an entire week with family, but I still managed to squeeze in some time for shopping :) majority of these stuff were purchase at the outlet, the rest were at Wal-Mart, Costco and well... Sephora and L'Occitane~

I flipped my thumb nail before my trip so I had to stock up on some more bandaids... I got the Johnson & Johnson Water block plus, however, they were not that great. They were not that waterproof, and I had lost one in the shower~ I think I will stay with Nexcare Bright Comfort Fabric :) More realiable and more fun!

July Glossybox 2012 Canada

Alas, my July box has arrived and I can't really muster up any excitement for the products in it.

Glossybox July 2012

Box with the fancy month card, product info and 1 coupon of $2 off Eucerin products 

I have some dry patches on my skin but overall I'm oily combo, so this will have to go to my fiance, will update on the results after he tries it :)

This is the only thing I'm excited to try! Unfortunately, I only got 4 samples and a pamphlet on the the brand and its product, why no coupons?! :(

Meh? This product is better for winter when skin is more dry, but looking forward to trying it when it's cold~

Funny, this was on sale at Shopper's this past weekend and I almost grabbed one~ Lucky I waited?

Dove?! -__-"

I got a full size Zoya nail polish in Meg. Its a pretty green, but I can only see myself wearing this colour on my toes or on fingernails during the month of October~

Overall, quite disappointed in this box. Rating? C+ sadly, not yet a B. I got my money's worth, but I felt that the products in this box just didn't wow me... I feel like I could have gone to Walmart or SDM to pick these up. Merp~ I will give it one more box before I decide the fate of this subscription~

LOTD: My Nerdy Look~

In case you're wondering, why am I not so diligent lately, I've been lazy, and busy! 4 months to the wedding and we've just picked a place to have the reception XD Anyways, the past weekend was scheduled for some engagement pictures, and just wanted to share with you one one of my looks~~

I borrowed this pair of nerdy fashion glasses from my bro (without his permission!) Such bad older sister :) When I first meet my fiancé, I did not wear make up and was a nerdy looking girl (I still am!)

Aside from a day loaded with Vitamin Ds (very sunny on Sunday) we also had some delicious food~ 

Hope you're having an amazing week :)

Squeaky clean with Hello Kitty Cleansing Paste

I saw a review of this cleanser on Musing of a Muse's blog (read her review here) and thought I should try it out... and I'm glad I did! Aside from the adorable packaging, this is an amazing cleanser. My face is literally squeaky clean after using it and it was not drying. The biggest turn-off of this product is the smell, but since I  really enjoy using this, I had to overcome this littler matter. However, if you have no trouble with smelly stuff, then I would definitely recommend you trying it out. :)

I am so reusing this container when I am done with this product!

The instructions pamphlet that came with it is in English, Chinese and Japanese... as well as ubber cute Hello Kitty pictures :)

As a cleaner, this does its job very well, as a makeup remover, I'm not so sure because I'd never use it close to my eyes. This product also last a very long time since you only need to use very little and it can lather up and clean your entire face. I also love the fact that it is so small and compact which makes it travel friendly, I never worry about the product spilling or messing up things in my bag (as my La Roche Posay did.) It is an almost perfect cleanser (if not for the scent.)

Overall Rating ***** / 5 (1 = worst 5 = best)  

Price **/5 (1 = soooo cheap! 5 = pricey!) $7.80 USD <-- I think it's reasonable for such a great face wash

Packaging Quality *****/5 (1 = worst 5 = best) It's cute and has a very unique way of dispensing the product (it reminds me of toothpaste.) The Hello Kitty face on the lid is also very cute (I look forward to finishing up the product and reusing the container)

Scent? I disliked the scent from the beginning, but I have gotten used to it. It is an unpleasant smell of sulphur, but the smell goes away after a while.

Would you buy this product again? Yes! despite the smell, it leaves me face feeling super clean
