Faceshop boxing day haul

Boxing day.. that was a longlong time ago, but nonetheless I still have all my items I bought then still with me! The prices were already jacked up, but luckily on boxing day, the prices go back to as it normally would in Korea. But sadly, the items are apparently expired T_T. But anyways! moving on.

Doesn't look like a lot, but I forgot to take photos of the peeling day exfoliator and I gave away another lip balm to my friend.

Skinfood BB Cream comparison, cleansing water

Skinfood Mushroom BB cream and Green Gingko BB cream

I got both quite some time ago, so they've lasted me for quite a while. I got the Gingko one in no.1 and the Mushroom one in no.2 LOL (I got the mushroom one because it was pretty cheap, otherwise I would've gotten no.1 in colour)

The Mushroom has a scent of grass(?) and has SPF20 PA+ and claims to whiten and have anti-aging properties. The Green Gingko one smells like soap to me, but in a pleasant way, and it apparently helps correct skintone.

^The one on top is the mushroom one and the one on the bottom is the gingko one.
They don't seem too different until you spread them. The mushroom looked like it wasnt there, because it matched my skin and blended in and I wasn't sure if I even blended in any at all. The Gingko one has a much paler cast on my face before I blend it in, but when I do, It looks about the same as the mushroom, just a bit fairer.

They both look similiar, but the Mushroom one has a more grainy dry feel after several hours of wear, especially on the nose. And both oxidize.

Skinfood Black Sugar Cleansing Water

Im not a big fan of cleansing water, since they sting my eye when I try to remove the makeup off my eye. But I gave this one a try.

This one actually works really well! Usually water based cleansers have alcohol in them or something like that, but I cant detect any smell of alcohol in this, it smell JUST LIKE the skinfood black sugar scrub. It's a bit sticky but it REALLY does remove makeup, even mascaras (just not japanese waterproof ones) and it made my face initially sticky, but soft afterwards. I love this as well lol. And the best part is, it DOESNT sting my eyes at all, so it's completely safe to use as a eye makeup remover, well to me it is.

Shiseido Perfect Rouge

Shiseido Perfect Rouge PK 307

I got this as a sample quite some time ago, but I decided to swatch for you guys. It's half the size of the regular lipstick, but lasted me for quite some time. It's in PK 307 Tourmaline. I'd say its a pink with purple undertones. And I finally now why it's worth the price. (It's about $30 CAD here)

It really has all the qualities that people want in lipstick. It's moisturizing, long staying, pigmented, and isn't matte at all. The consistency is like a solid lip gloss, made into a lipstick! I love it!



Skinfood Black Raspberry Eye Cream

Skinfood Black Raspberry Eye Cream

After hearing so many great reviews on this eyecream, I had to get it for myself. Also, I thought the packaging was super cute!
many Asian herbs and black raspberry. When I first opened it, it had a smell of herbs.. and I got addicted to it lol. My mom HATES the smell, whereas I love it, weird isn't it?
But nonetheless, the product itself is a thick cream that REALLY does moisturize, I only use it at night though.

And it does reduce the fine lines under my eyes (premature aging I guess? =/) So its really worth buying! And it's not expensive either, compared to many other eyecreams (including ones that don't even work)
