Beauty Haul | 2015 July to August

Beauty Haul Hello everyone~! It's time for a HAUL post~!

"BEAUTY HAUL"

(2015 July to August)

Let's see what I've purchased for the past two months.

P.S: Words in blue are attached with a link to my review. If you are interested to know more about the product, click on it. For those in black and without a link, I'll be doing a review in the future. Be sure to stay tuned to my blog.

Innisfree No-Sebum Blur Primer
Innisfree No-Sebum Blur Pact
Etude House Precious Mineral Magic Any Cushion (Mint)
 Etude House Any Air Puffs

The Innisfree No-Sebum Blur Primer and Blur Pact have become my favorite makeup products. The primer does a good job in controlling sebum, while the pact is really good at blurring the appearance of pores. They both work well together. For more info, click on the blue links above to read my reviews.

Finally got my hands on the Magic Any Cushion~! I have been wanting to try it after reading many good things about it. I will post a review once I have tried it for at least a month.

Innisfree Shadow Pencil
#04, #05 and #09

- close up shot - 

#04 and #09 are dual types that can express two colors on eyelid at once.

These eye shadow pencils are very user-friendly! Ideal for beginners! The colors are so goooooorgeous~ and they are not too bold! Perfect for everyday makeup.

The Face Shop Face it Power Perfection BB Cream
#01 Light Beige and #02 Natural Beige.

This is my all-time favorite BB Cream. It gives superb coverage! I have been using Natural Beige all along. This time I decided to try the light beige, as I've noticed that my skin tone has become lighter... But I have yet to test it out on my skin - hopefully, it matches well with my skin tone.

Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar in #08 Neon Yellow
Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner in #07 Golden Black

I have raved about this Petite Bunny Gloss Bar (#08 Neon Yellow) in the past and to this day, it still remains one of my favorite lip products. It moisturizes my lips and gives a natural pink tint that is suitable for every day wear. ♥

In my last haul, I picked up a Clio Pencil Gel Liner in #16 Black Brick and I like the formula. So I purchased it again, but this time I got it in #07 Golden Black.

Etude House AC Clinic Daily:
Acne Foam Cleanser
Toner
Gel Lotion
Aqua Cream

Etude House AC Clinic line! — My all time favorite + my skin savior!! I've been raving this skin care line for million times and I will keep on raving it! Read "MY ACNE STORY" to find out why I say that.

Etude House AC Clinic White-Trouble Bubble Cleanser
Etude House AC Clinic Daily Acne Foam Cleanser and Toner

One month+ ago, a reader requested for a review on the Bubble Cleanser, and I accepted the request. That's the reason why I bought it. Review coming soon. Alongside, I picked up the cleanser and toner again.

Etude House AC Clinic Intense Mask Sheet

Etude House AC Clinic Intense Mask Sheet helps to fight pimples and keep them at bay. In my opinion, this is the most effective mask to deal with pimples!

My Beauty Diary Strawberry Yogurt Mask

If you have been a reader of my blog for a very long time, you should know I am a user/fan of My Beauty Diary Masks. The Strawberry Yogurt type is one of my favorite MBD masks, but unfortunately it's not available in Singapore. So I got my friend to bring them back from Taiwan. (thanks JY!) ;D

FYI, the Strawberry Yogurt mask is really good for oily and acne-prone skin. I highly recommend to give this a try!

Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask

This is a new product from Innisfree. It's micro clay formula features particles/molecules smaller than the facial pores. Hence, they are able to deeply cleanse the finest pores to effectively remove impurities. Good for oily skin.

Innisfree Eco Nail Color Pro in #128 and #113

Kinohimitsu EyeBright (30 days supply each)

Kinohimitsu EyeBright is a supplement for the eyes — "it is designed to offer in depth protective elements to the eyes. Coupled with FloraGLO Lutein, DHA, Lycopene and petent anthocyanins for ultimate nourishment to the eyes. It effectively alleviates eye fatigue, dryness and also promotes focusing."

I actually picked up 3 boxes and I'm giving myself a 3 months trial period to see if this product works. I just started taking it two days ago, so it's still too early for me to comment on its effectiveness. Anyway, it doesn't taste bad! It has a strawberry/berry flavor with a sweet and sour taste, and I like it! Hopefully, it will help to improve the health of my eyes.

So that's all for the haul!

Have you tried any of these products? Let me know~ I would love to hear your thoughts on them. :)

2015 April to June Haul

April to June Haul First and foremost, *throw confetti* yaaay~ I finally switched to a domain url! On the downside... even though I have done the 301 redirect thingy, my traffic and ranking have dropped dramatically... Dang! I seriously have no idea why this is happening... I guess I have to start building this site from scratch or perhaps..., I should revert it back to blogspot.com?...hmm...sigh... :/

Keep it as a reminder... If one day, you visit info-tipstriks.blogspot.com and it's not available that means I revert it back to blogspot.com. :x

AFC Collagen Beauty Supplements

Ten Ren's Tea --- my favorite tea's brand~!!!♥

2x Unix Take Out Mini Hair Dryer

This mini, travel-friendly hair dryer may be small in size but it is strong enough to blow dry my hair. Ideal to bring along to the gym, swimming pool etc.

Wallet from Kate Spade in a super vibrant color, Desert Rose.

Old Wallet vs New Wallet = Big contrast lol.

I absolutely love the texture (saffiano) and the color actually changes tone under different lighting~ it looks like neon hot pink under sunlight and looks a little more red than pink indoor.

I think the color of my new wallet is very suitable for spring/summer~♥

Define 1-Day Acuvue Contact Lenses (Vivid)
I'm a regular wearer of 1-Day Acuvue Moist contact lenses; I decided to try out Define contact lenses and I love 'em so freaking much! This is now part of my must-haves! ♥

That's all for my haul! Hope you enjoy reading it. Stay tuned for my next post~ xo.

2015 January to March Haul

January to March HaulIt's been awhile since I last did a haul post. Here it is! — January to March Haul~ Let see what I have gotten for the past 3 months. P/S: Items marked with an asterisk [*] are those that I will be writing a review on in the future.

*Innisfree JejuBija Anti-Trouble Facial Foam
*Innisfree JejuBija Anti-Trouble Skin (= Toner)
*Innisfree JejuBija Anti-Trouble Lotion
*Innisfree JejuBija Anti-Trouble Essence R

After hearing my friend raved about this JejuBija Anti-Trouble skin care range, I have been wanting to try out this range but I couldn't decide whether to get this or the Laneige Trouble Relief range. So apparently, I have made up my mind~ thanks to the anonymous who requested for this range in ask.fm. 

Anyway, the reviews may come at a much later time as I have to finish my current skin care products before opening new ones. On top of that, I have to try out each product for at least 2-3 months (.aka. trial period — one of my blogging rules for skin care products) before writing my review on it. So stay tuned yeah~? 

Etude House AC Clinic Intense Liquid Spot

Check out my reviews:

Etude House AC Clinic Intense Pink Powder Spot
Check out my reviews:

4 boxes of 3M Nexcare Acne Patch .aka. Blemish Clear Cover

One of my FAVORITE products to kill pimples! Absolutely a MUST-HAVE~! I bought the Korea version just because they have it in square shape. In Singapore and Taiwan, I have only seen circular ones. I have tried the square ones and I actually prefer these over the circular ones. Square ones cover blemishes and adhere to the skin better in my opinion.

*Laneige Balancing Emulsion Light

Hiruscar Post Acne Gel
Check out my review:
http://bitsdiaries.blogspot.com/2013/11/review-hiruscar-post-acne-gel.html

I bought these lippies for Chinese New Year and I got a set for my BFF as well. These are my current favorite lipsticks by the way! The colors are sooo pretty~ I will be doing a review on the lippies soon.

Caolion Pore Sebum Pact SPF36 in Natural Beige
Bourjois effet 3D Lipgloss in #20 (One of my favorite lip gloss in the past)

2014 October to December Haul

October to December HaulNotice: I just done replying to all of your emails... Sorry for the extremely late response! I realized some of the mails went into my junk folder. FYI, I don't check junk folder because I received a lot of junk (spam) mails in a day. So normally I just delete all at once by ticking the 'select all' box. Hence, readers who sent an email to me and have yet to receive my reply, then most likely the mail was marked as junk mail. If you don't mind, please re-send it with a decent subject title and indicate the secret code~ - "[Reader's Q&A]". So that when I view the junk folder, I know which mail is not a spam mail. *Deeply apologize...* Alternatively, you can ask me through Ask.fm (http://ask.fm/BITSDIARIES). I just created an account there and I think it would be much more easier for me to make a response as there is an app on mobile phone; I can reply anytime, anywhere~! If you choose the latter option, then try to keep your question specific and short as there is a limit of 300 words for each question. You can ask me anything! :D

- Back to topic -

This gonna be the last haul post for the year 2014 and I have to write this post quick because it's getting late. So without further ado, I will just jump straight into the topic.

Etude House Don't Worry I'm on your side Hand Cream

Etude House Goodbye Pore Ever Primer Essence

Etude House All Finish Remover Bar

(Formerly known as Eraser Show Remover Bar; Check out my review: http://bitsdiaries.blogspot.sg/2014/06/review-etude-house-eraser-show-remover.html. I believe the latest All Finish Remover Bar has an improved formula. Will do a review in the future.)

Tony Moly Crystal Blusher (#03)

Duo Adhesive Glue

Miss Bow Bow Double Eyelid Stickers (sensitive skin set)

These eyelid stickers are like my saver~ Despite I was born with double eyelids, sometimes I wake up with uneven eyelids — One side single and one side double, which make me look weird.    During such time, these stickers come in really handy.

Nexcare Acne Patches

My all-time favorites pimple-killer! :D

The Face Shop BlackHead Nose Strips (Charcoal and Aloe)

The Face Shop Raspberry Line & Lift Collagen Eye Patch .aka. Eye Mask

Etude House Hand Bouquet Rich Collagen and Rich Butter Hand Masks

My Beauty Diary Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Masks

It's one of my favorite sheet masks!

Guardian's Make-up Cotton Tips .aka. Q-tips

Essential Hair Serum and Treatment Milk

Dove Straight and Silky Shampoo and Conditioner

I gotten a hair rebonding in mid-November and was told by the hairstylist that it's best to use hair products designed for straight hair after rebonding. Thus, instead of getting the freaking expensive salon's hair products recommended by the hairstylist, I got Dove from the drugstore, which is a cheaper alternative recommended by my cousin-in-law. And am glad that it worked well.

Innisfree Hair Brush

Got a wooden hair brush to maintain my rebonded hair~

Essie Good To Go Top Coat

My favorite top coat ever!

Crystal Deodorant Stick

Bean Boozled Jelly Beans

Travalo Justice League Perfume Atomizers

These were the gifts I prepared for Christmas this year.

Aquarium Iphone Case (One belongs to my bestie.)

This case is very interesting and it's also my current favorite phone case! 

Watch the low-quality video below and you will know why I like it so much:

Cute Key Pouches

A random case/pouch from Daiso.

 I got this case/pouch to keep sanitary pads  as my bag (Longchamp tote) does not have an inner zippered pocket.

Galaxy Hater Cap ♥

Absolutely looooove the Galaxy print.

Last but not least...,

2015 Planner!!

Donbook 2015 Diary A

P.S.: No, I did not buy this. It was a Christmas gift from my dad.

I don't know if you guys remember that I bought a similar one (Diary D) in mint color for this year and I really love it. Therefore, for the upcoming year, I planned to get from the same brand but instead of Diary D, I want Diary A, which is smaller than Diary D. And surprising, my dad got it for me as Christmas gift~ 

That's all for the haul! As the year 2014 is drawing to an end, I wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance. All the best for the coming new year 2015! *flying kisses*
