Shia: Pretty and Cute Haul

How's it going? Well I'm here with another haul post from the Pretty and Cute website. Prettyandcute.com specialize in Korean and Japanese beauty products that can't be found in USA. I went on there because I wanted to try more Asian BB creams and decided to get the sample sizes of different BB creams to try out. Lioele and Skin79 are quite popular Asian brands so I decided I should try them out first. Since these were the small sizes they were fairly cheap because the full sizes are actually very expensive, the small bottle are $5 each and the set of the 4 small sizes are $14.99. I also use a promo code I found on retailmenot.com and got 10% off my entire order. I also went ahead and purchase the pink adhesive hair bows for $3.99 because it's good for holding the bangs away from the face when doing makeup and because it's cute, the website was also kind enough to give me a free one so I was pleasantly surprised. 

Cute packaging!
I was happy to get my hands on this set because I get to try a little bit of each and know which one is best for me for a reasonable price.
I have yet to try out the Skin79 samples but so far I like the Lioele pink bottle, it's very moisturizing and has great coverage. Although the color is a bit grey when you first put it on and it's very shiny so I usually set it with translucent powder. I also found that it lightens my skin after I wash it all off at the end of the night so over all I agree with all the good reviews. The small size is actually good for three to four uses, so a little goes a long way.

I get to look like Hello Kitty! 

Nancy: Products I'm Loving!

Hello All!! I'm back! It is finally March! OMG! The days sure do fly by! I just wanted to drop by and let you guys all know about the products that I have been using and loving!
  •  Cure Natural Aqua Gel

I haven't had the chance to blog about this product because I have just got it and tried it recently. I wanted to try it out first so I can do a more accurate review on it. From what I heard, this is Japan's fastest selling exfoliator. And I must say, it works like a charm! I have probably been using this for about 3-4 weeks. The gel isn't that dense and it really removes that dead skin off your face. When you massage it on your face you can actually feel stuff coming off your face and on your fingers! Great exfoliator. Pretty Pricey. It costs me $49.80 on ebay. Probably won't repurchase just because it's so expensive and it's hard to find it in stores so I don't really wanna go through all the hassle buying and waiting for it online. It does ship from Japan so it does take quite awhile. Overall, love it.
  • Hour Glass Primer

LOVE LOVE LOVE this primer. I talked about this recently on the blog. Been using it for 2-3 weeks now. I apply it on every single time I go out. It just gives me that smooth look and I just apply my foundation on soooo nicely. My sister tried it and she also loves it! Best primer out there. Give this a shot before trying out others!


  • Origins: Clear Improvement Active Charcol Mask 


Say bye bye to that junk that clogs your pores. Origins to the rescue! Great investment ever on face mask. It really does help remove all that stuff down there and lets your skin breathes. I've blogged about this product so you can read more about it on the blog. But definitely try this mask out before purchasing others! I totally recommend!

  • Too faced 3 Way Lash Lining Tool

At first I was hesitant about getting this eyeliner because it looked kind of funky. How in the world am I supposed to line my eyes with this? I found it to be quite unique and decided to buy it. Purchased it at Sephora for $22.00. It was kind of tricky when I first tried it on but I got used to it. I've been using it ever since I got it. Definitely will be using it until it's done.

  • Covergirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm


Very Pretty Lip color. I bought the number 245 Ruby. Has a nice red to it. I find this lipstick to be soooo moist and beautiful. It has a nice sheerness to it which I like best when it comes to lipstick. It is my go to lipstick when I am in a rush. It is always in my bag and I find it so easy to apply. Great lipstick. Find it at any drugstore for 6-7 bucks! Love it!


  • Physicians Formula Cashmere Blush

Been crazy over this blush the first time I laid eyes on it. Love love love the color of this blush. Got it for $12 at Target and has been using it ever since. My favorite blush!!
