ALIEXPRESS: Experiences and Tips

Okay, so I recently said that i would make a review on a couple of aliexpress orders that I made. Well...apparently i purchased from fraudulent sellers and i am now waiting for my refund. So, instead of a clothing haul review, i decided to post up some tips in terms of ordering on aliexpress. To be honest, i have only made one successful purchase on aliexpress and that was for jewelry. Basically, the best thing to do if you see something you want on aliexpress is to make sure that: -the seller has good feedback at least in the 90% range. preferably a lot of feedback too. IF they don't have a lot of feedback I would be cautious of buying from them. Also, it's best to check when they started selling items on aliexpress; the older the date, the better. new accounts lately are usually scams. - if the prices are too good to be true that means they are a scam . I was stupid enough to actually fall for a few of those shops. I knew they were too good to be true, but i just cou...

REVIEW: Olay Aquaction Long Lasting Hydration Gel

Hello all, this is a review on Olay's Aquaction Long Lasting Hydration Gel! I have been using Olay products ever since i bought their products. I find that it is a cheaper alternative to many expensive beauty products.  I came across an ad for this one day when I was browsing through my weibo and because I have not seen this Olay product before I wanted to try it. To my disappointment, I found out that they do not sell this here in the USA. I did find it to be sold on amazon though, but it isn't really what i would call cheap.  Here is where I bought it from instead:  http://www.sasa.com/SasaWeb/eng/product/viewProductDetail.jspa?itemno=105563308001 It costs $15.60, which is a pretty good price imo because the regenerist olay products I buy are around $20 already.  well sadly, i just realized that the product isn't in stock anymore on sasa. :(  This is what it looks like: I threw away the box it came in ages ago, but it looks exactly like the ...

REVIEW: Daiso Disposable Powder Puff (semi-picture heavy!)

MOOOOARRR REVIEWS. I guess I might as well post this too since i have it all typed out >:O  I will be reviewing the disposable powder puff from Daiso. This costs $1.50 for 13 pieces, which I think is totally a steal because I saw CVS selling something similar to this the other day for $3, half more of how much Daiso sells it for.  back of the bag. I realized it's kind of hard to read so here's some of the text:  -even it's good for using to the sensitive skin because it is very soft and doesn't make any of the trouble when it touches on the skin.  -it disperses the foundation without any of the lump so that can be finished cleanly the base makeup.  CAUTION:  -this production is the throw away type.  -it is very soft and the nature material which doesn't make any of the trouble on the skin. Also it's weak to the distillate. therefore if the foreign element adhears to the surface of the puff or the puff swells out, please cha...

REVIEW: Daiso Horse Fat Hand Cream

Okay, I lied in the previous post. THERE WILL BE A REVIEW TODAY! :D  The previous post totally gave me motivation to review more and get all my reviews done.  SO! I will be reviewing Daiso's Horse fat hand cream! I happened to come across this today during my visit to Daiso, and honestly i was quite curious at what this is because I have never seen it before and so out of curiosity, i bought it, but after coming home and googling information about it, i truly regret buying it :/ Not that it sucks or anything but it goes against my animal rights beliefs :/ But anyway, this is what the packaging looks like and i also tried googling reviews for this product only to find out that SJ's Siwon got this as a gift from one of his fans before? lol  This costs $1.50 at Daiso.  Anyways, I'm a bit confused on this product because the package says 'Horse fat', while the bottle of the product says '馬油' in chinese, which literally translates into horse oil. t...

Thank you, Exo-M! 谢谢你们!(NOTE: this is NOT a review!! >:O )

Hello all, I know this is not an idol blog of any sort and I have made this blog with the intentions to review about beauty products, but i really want to express my feelings out. I honestly didn't know where to express them,  seriously is there some website I can go to so I can sincerely express my thank you's to EXO? Like one that they will actually see? lol.  To be honest, I feel somewhat stupid for doing this, because I know there are way more devoted fans out there who have probably done loads more for their idols than writing a simple thank you.  But anyways, the title says it all: Thank you, Exo-M. well how do i start? I remember the last time I liked a band so dearly was around 4-5 years ago. That was until they decided to disband around 2 years ago. I was devastated. I listened to numerous bands over the years but it was not until I listened to Exo-M that I felt alive again. Their songs truly mesmerized me in a way that seemed too unreal for me because I...

REVIEW: Daiso Collagen Face Mask

Hello, I am back again with another review/continuation of the face masks i bought from Daiso! This time it will be the Daiso Collagen Face Mask in PINK Once again, it comes in a pack of 3 masks for $1.50. The instructions are pretty much the same as the honey mask i posted, but here it is again: Directions:  1.

REVIEW: Daiso Gentle Charcoal Makeup Remover

Hello, this is review #2 for the day because I feel bad for neglecting this blog :( I will be reviewing Daiso's charcoal makeup remover. This is one of the items I bought a while back when I went to Canada at a Yoko yaya store. I heard it is like the brother/sister store of Daiso. They do cost a bit more than Daiso though. This cost me $2 CAD. In a honesty, I rarely, if ever put on makeup, so this is pretty much useless for me, but I have been at awe with charcoal products and because they did not sell the charcoal face mask I dearly wanted, I just had to buy this as a redemption. Once again, this is made in Korea if anyone wants to know.   Directions:  -squeeze proper amount of the cleansing on hand and wipe out with tissue. we recommend a charcoal cleansing foam which is bought separately after using it.  Well, I did say that I rarely use makeup but I do put on bb cream occasionally. I decided to put the test to my hand ( i did try it on my face, but i...

REVIEW: Daiso Pure Moisture Mask Sheet

Hello all, I know it has been a horribly long time since i last reviewed, and it seems as if i abandoned this blog, but have no fear, i am back! Today, I will be reviewing another Daiso product. Yes, Daiso. i just love their cosmetics. Another Daiso store opened near me recently and i went there to see if they sold anything that i have not seen at the previous Daiso stores before. and aha! I was met with these: Three different new types of masks for me to try! :) Each box contains 3 individual bags of masks, making that just 50cents a piece! So once again, you will notice that these are also made in Korea (i've noticed that a majority of Daiso cosmetic products are made from korea)  front and back of mask!  Directions:  1. Make clean skin after showering  2. apply the mask on face and stretch it even  3. remove the mask from your face in 10 to 20 minutes pat the liquid on  the face  apply it 2-3 times a week.  CAU...
