I'm back in Jakarta now! How's everyone's CNY and Valentine's day? Mine was great, had a lot of foods and got quite a handful Hong Baos :D. Didn't celebrate Valentine's day though. Anyway, before I was back in my hometown, I got myself a few things.
Shiseido Eyelash Curler, NYX Concealer in Jar, Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion, Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Moisturizer and Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Concealer.Remember that I got a set of SK-II skincare back in the October last year? I didn't review them because i think the miniature set that I got wasn't enough for me to feel the result. And they basically do nothing to me, I'm an impatient person and always want to see immediate result, so I gave up on them and decided to try a new skincare line. Although I saw a lot of mix reviews about Clinique products, I decided to try them and as my stubborn acne refuses to clear up, I got their Anti-Blemish Solutions line. Didn't get the cleanser because I want to finish my BeautyMaker Cleansing Gel first. I'll try to review them in about one or two months to see the result.
I also got a couple of concealers cause they are a must for me right now, to conceal my acne scar, blemishes and dark circle. I just wouldn't go out without them on. My skin is really bad now.
My thesis test/session (I don't know the right word) is on next thursday. I'm really nervous about it, hopefully I'll do it well. So I think I'm going to be MIA again for this one week. Will be around very soon :)
Have a great day!
Great stuff. Clinique is such a good brand!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best on your exams.
Hi Dina!
ReplyDeleteNice haul, I think NYX concealer is a good concealer for those with very light-medium dark circles but it wasn't enough coverage for me. I had problems creasing too. Thanks for letting us know about the SK-II stuff. Sorry your skin is really bad now, I hope your new Clinique stuff fixes it right up.
good luck on your thesis test!!
ReplyDeleteyah i hate it when i don't see immediate results either, haahaha. but i've been trying to be more patient.
hey, u got the shiseido lash curler...:D....how come it's too difficult to look for that NYX Concealer here...except online...do a review bout it dina...awww....you're skin is acting up?maybe because of your thesis & exam...after that you're going to be more relax...goodluck!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with you thesis, Dina! All the best!
ReplyDeleteOh no about your skin. ): I've tried the Clinique line also and I don't think it's a good "active" type of treatment, it feels more like a proactive, preventive one...but let me know how that goes!
Please don't over stress yourself! (I'm telling you this and I'm stressing myself right now, haha) But I realize that the worst of our skin problems is a product of stress and it's pretty ack...but take care of yourself!! <3 Hope to see a blog post from you one week from now with some good news about your thesis!
that's a lovely haul Dina! i am in the acne and breakout phase as you are now :S it sucks. Tell us more about the concealer and how the Clinique stuff works for you!
ReplyDeleteI too have heard about mixed reviews of Clinique and i didn't like their 3-step system, but maybe their acne line will be better ? :D
Jenn
awww too bad skII doesnt work for u
ReplyDeleteit kinda breaks me out
i have that clinique moisturizer for acne too,if u like it,u can have mine!:)
Please, please! I can't wait to see your reviews about concealers! I am almost done with my Shiseido and really don't know what to get next!
ReplyDeleteYay! That is nice haul! A lot of great stuffies!
Yay for all the beauty hauls:)I have the Cliniqu anti-blemish solution set too. It works pretty great on my skin so far. I don't use it everyday though because it dry up my skin. I hope your acne scars will fade away so and regain your beautiful skin.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your thesis test! I'm sure you will do great<3
Cute little haul!
ReplyDeleteAnd awww. I know how you feel. I've been struggling with acne and scars right now too... hope you get some me-time to relax - I think stress is the #1 reason for acne and the time it takes to heal. Good luck with your defense!! *hugs*
All the best in your thesis/session on Thursday! :)
ReplyDeleteClinique didn't work out that well for me, hopefully it does for you :)
I'm wearing the volumizer insert in my photographs. Maybe the effect wasn't noticable? :(
Lovely haul ^_^. I heard good feedback about Clinique Skin Care. I hope you're face will clear up soon,I'm having thesame prob three years ago ^_^
ReplyDeleteGoodluck with school, have a nice day girl ;)
good luck for your viva....
ReplyDeleteYay to Hong Baos! Surprisingly, I got a few this year too (despite being married)...lol. ;) And yay to you being back home! That's always a great feeling. Looking forward to your reviews on your nice haul.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your thesis test/session next week! :D
Ah,I wish I could still receive hong baos lolz but anyway my parents never make it accustomary to give hong baos as they said they already given us hong baos all of our life hahahaha :p
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the "sidang" ;) so what's your plan next?
Lovely haul. Just curious, the toner, does it smell alcohol?
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your studies!
Oh my gosh hun, THANK YOU so much for posting my D♥T Charms banner on your blog :) It truly means so much to me!! ^__^ <3
ReplyDeleteDina, I know how you feel about testing time! Best of luck to you girl :) I've been away so much lately too because of 3 weeks of exams. hehe yeah the Viva Glam lisptick was too tempting for me =) plus I don't have anything like that shade. I'm like you too.. I want to see results quickly when I use products! =x
ReplyDeleteThis might be a stupid question but what is a hong bao?... hehe~ :X
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your thesis! I think you will do well since you're one smart cookie! :)
Isn't it sad how we can be tempted to buy a beauty item because of it's packaging?... hehe~ I can fall for that so easily *sigh*.
super haul :)
ReplyDeletegood luck buat thesis nya yah :)
Great haul, please please do a review on Shiseido Eyelash Curler, thanks so much..
ReplyDeleteDina hun..by now , u r probably angry of mebut please forgive ..I have forced my mom to send u the package this week, fingers crossed^^
Ohh what a nice haul! I hope these products work for you! I think the Lunar New Year is more important to celebrate than Valentine's Day, hehe, but it was interesting to have them both on the same day! =)
ReplyDeleteNice haul hun! Hope they work well for you. I've always wanted to try concealer in a jar as I hear its similar to MAC's studio fix concealer. Hope you do a review on it (: <3
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! Clinique products have worked well for me, so I hope these ones do for you too! Can't wait to see the review. Good luck on your exams :)
ReplyDeleteI used to have heaps of acne as well and tried out the Clinique's anti blemish range. It helps a little but didn't clear up everything so I switched to another skin care. My skin has been clearer now but I still use the anti blemish gel. It works wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! I love the nyx concealer! I have not tried any of the other items though :] Good luck on the thesis test!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! I've always wanted to try the NYX concealer and the Shi eyelash curler! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely haul! I'm a fan of Clinique's Extra moisture surge :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're not too stressed with the thesis.. stress can do so much to the skin! Good luck !!
awww.. my skin looks terrible too >.< and I hope your skin will heal soon.. Don't stress out too much!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to get some NYX concealer coming up soon too, let us know how that goes! my skin isn't so great these days either, i think it has something to do with the weather -_- sighhhh
