Box #1 of Sasa Haul + Giveaways

I have a habit of browsing through my favorite beauty webpages for newly added items whenever I am bored... I know that this habit is really bad for my wallet! But one day when I went to the Sasa site, I saw something that reminded me of Shanghainese Dumpling so I started adding things to my cart to get the free shipping...

These Body Scrubs by Creer Beaute reminded me of the Bihada Ichizoku Sheet masks that Ena uses. Aren't the packaging cute? The yellow is the Versailles Rose Duchesse de Polignac Body Srub in Honey, pink is the Versailles Rose Antoinette Body Scrub in Rose, purple is the Versailles Rose Madame du Barry Body Scrub in Grape, and the blue is the Versailles Rose Oscar Body Scrub in Clear Marine.

L-R: @Nature (BeautyEasy) Lily & Jamine Peptides Lifting Eye Creme, Kose Clearturn Q10 Eye Mask, and a Nivea Hand Whitening Intensive Care (texture is like lotion).

The (L) Makeup Sponge is by Three Pretty. I got 2 Kose VISEE Eye Color in GD005 and PU104. I got a free Sasa nail file.

I also got 2 packages of this Suzuran Attirer Puff (but only one pictured).

I want to show one of my favorite Korean Snacks!! It's a cake with strawberry and raspberry filling!!! Yummy!! It has been months since my local H-Mart got them back in stock...

Update:

I will be going away again tomorrow and prob won't be back until Sunday. Will be away internet-less again... I'm almost sweating at the thought of it... Haha. I will be alright. My parents are coming back from China this Saturday and my brother and I will have to go to JFK again to pick them up.

When I get back, I will do a review of the Laneige Strawberry Yogurt Pack. I have been using for a while now so I will let you ladies know my opinion. :)

Review: La Mer Lip Balm

Buy it here for $45.

I could not find the exact ingredients on the box or on the pamplet but it does state that "there is nothing miraculous about its ingredients-- a blend of sea kelp, vitamins, minerals plus oils of citrus, eucalyptus, wheat germ, alfalfa, and sunflower. But the way those ingredients journeyed through a 3-4 month bio-fermentation process made all the difference between a good moisturizer and a small miracle."

My Thoughts:

This lip balm is the best that I have ever used. All the other lip products (Vaseline, Burt's Bee, MAC Lip Conditioner, Beautymaker Princess Repairing Lip Balm, etc) that I have used before only left a layer of protection to prevent water loss. It took days to see results. This lip balm does leave a layer of protection just like the others however, it softened and relieved the dryness that I was experiencing this past week with the 1st application. Also, one application lasted me for hours. Another thing I love about this product it it is minty which is refreshing to me. I love minty lip products!!

Overall, I am in love with this product. It is kind of pricey but it is definitely worth it! My only problem now is that now that I have tried this amazing lip balm, will I be able to go back and use my older lip balms? :)

I will not hesitate if I have to buy this again.

Rating: 5/5
