What's in my purse????

Well hello! today i am going to be doing a 'What's in my purse' blog post edition =D i've been using my guess purse for about a week now and OMG there are so many things in it my purse is jam packed. LOL so i decided to empty its content and just share what i carry with me around. so here is a picture of my purse. i bought it at a guess store for i think 98 dollars. i absolutely love it. it has a strap so that if you are tired of holding it you can just use it as a shoulder bag. super cute and its PINK =D


okay so here is what you see when you first open the purse.

looks normal right? LOL then when i dump the contents of the purse out this is what you see


LOL that was what i actually did when i took everything out. i literally laughed out loud. okay so here is what everything looks like more organized



i got a bunch of crap in there! makeup, perfume, wallet, 2 lotion, another perfume, 2 foundation, a brush, gum, candy, and loose change. the green pouch you see is my make up bag. so the next picture is of all the lip product that was in my purse.



LOL 8 lip product! i must be crazy because i only have one pair of lips lol. but i can explain. i have many lip product because i use different ones and i just throw in my purse but i never take it out because i feel like i might use it even though i don't. the one that i've been using the most is the maybelline pink please lipstick. its surprisingly very nice for a drugstore product =D



okay so here is the rest of the makeup. i have 2 foundation with me... im not sure why >.< i have a mini tarte cheek stain because its so convenient! i have a brow gel from elf, a dior mascara, shu uemura eyelash curler (my fave!) make up for ever black eyeliner (my absolute fav liner (as of now))LOL, eyebrow pencil, benefit high brow, lip liner, and a HIP "shadestick"

haha okay so that's what's in my purse. =D

dermal royal jelly collagen essence mask

so last night i tried my first korean face mask ever! i picked this royal jelly face mask because it promised nutrition, moisturizing, and refining to my skin. on the back it said that "royal jelly extracts and various mineral ingredients makes your skin relax, clear and moistened. includes vitamin E and Collagen which keeps you tired skin always healthy and elastic". after reading that i was like "yeah, right..." LOL

okay so what i did was wash my face, then put on a toner. i took the mask out of the package and fit it to my face contours. it took awhile to get to a comfortable fit because the mask was a little too big for my face. i will insert a picture here LOL i look like a serial killer or something >.<

LOL okay so lets talk about the mask. i was very surprised by how wet the mask was. but i guess that is a good thing because it has a lot of the product soaked in. the mask smelled very nice, kinda flowery smell. but if you don't like that kind of stuff then you are going to hate this mask because you would be smelling it for 15-20 LOL. it took a while for the mask to dry out so i left it on for about half an hour. the instructions said that you do not need to rinse your face after using this product so i didn't. i just used a napkin to pat off the excess product and then put on eye cream and that was it.
after all the product sinked into my skin my face felt very very "firm" almost tight kind of feeling. i was a lil worried because i thought it dried out my face somehow but i wanted to see how this mask truly worked so i didn't put any lotion on my face. i just went to bed with the product from the mask and some eye cream.
in the morning, after i washed my face, i couldn't believe my eyes! my face truly looked so much more vibrant and bright! ( my skin has been really dull lately because of stress from life) i was very pleasantly surprised. im not sure that my face was any firmer (because i am only 20 years old so i still had firm skin in the first place). i didn't see any refining of the pores but definitely saw the brightening effects. the strange thing is that my acne seemed to have gone down quite a bit! i am in love =D
overall i am already loving this product! i have 5 more face mask to go and then i am so going back to the store to get every single kind they have =D
ohh i checked ebay and sasa.com and they are actually more expensive than the one at the store so i don't think im going to be ordering these babies online anytime soon.
okay so that is everything that i wanted to say. overall, i love this product and would definitely recommend.

korean face masks!

so recently i was complaining to my boyfriend about how i can never get those cool face masks i see everyone using and how good they are and blah blah blah and how jealous i was. LOL today he and i took his sister's boyfriend to the dentist and on our free time we wandered into this korean looking store. and what did we find???? KOREAN FACE MASKS! it was 6 for 5 dollars so ofcourse i got 6! im really excited to try it out and i will definitely let you know how it goes.



i bought:

-yellow orcher collagen essence mask: for soothing, brightening, and moisturizing
-royal jelly collagen essence mask: for nutrition, moisturizing, and refining
-coenzyme Q10 essence mask: for firming, moisturizing, brightening
-collagen essense mask: for firming, moisturizing, and mild (lol w/e that means)
-white collagen essence mask: for brightening, moisturizing, and firming
-charcoal collagen essence mask: for refining, health, soothing.

i am so excited to try these! oo they brand is DERMAL. i hope they work out but if they do then i have to drive all the way to IRVINE to get it lol. or i can try ebay but ehh... i really don't like using ebay

anyway, xoxo melanie =)

Make up for ever aqua eyes OL

this is a review! or rather a comparison. in my lifetime i've used many many MANY black eyeliners, from drugstore to higher ends. but this product is probably one of my favorite. *disclaimer* i don't even remember if i hated or liked drugstore products! its been so long since i've even used them. but anyway back to the subject. i LOVE this make up for ever black eyeliner. it stays on my tight line ALL DAY and ofcourse on my lids too. i tried it on my water line and it was pretty good. smudging after a couple of hours but nothing serious or dramatic. i would really really recommend this eyeliner pencil if you need a good black liner. i know a lot of people like the urban decay pencils but OMG the black ones made me look like a raccoon. on my lids and on my water lines they smudge like there is no tomorrow. i probably won't repurchase them even those i think they look so cute LOL. anyway that is a mini review. thanks =)

all products were purchased by me. they are all my honest opinion and i am definitely not getting paid!
