sasa haul

I haven't made a new post in a while. I ordered some thing from sasa a couple weeks ago and it finally came  yesterday.

mini haul

i finally received my recent KORRES order from hautelook today, cant wait to give these products a try

 and i recently bought the physician's formula happy booster all over face powder in translucent from CVS.

They had this for 40% off this week and i used the $3.00 manufacturer coupon along with it. To sum it all up, it was a steal. It has a really great finish much like a MAC MSF, it smells like a higher end brand and is super cute.

then i went back later this week to pick up the blush in natural which was also 40% off and with another coupon and it came up to about 5 bucks too.

the blush is smaller than the face powder

Maybelline dream smooth mousse

I bought the maybelline dream smooth mousse a couple of days ago at walgreens, they had it 40% off. This foundation is really as good as YouTubers say it is. The name fits it well as it is so smooth and blends like a dream. It is also very light weight and hard to get it to cake. I apply it with a elf flat top brush which is also a great find. It is a very dense brush for the price of 3 dollars and picks up the foundation well. These two products are really a great for the price, together they were less than 10 bucks. I'm glad that I have a new light weight foundation that I can switch off from my missha bb cream and nars sheer glow as the dream smooth mousse is a better color match for my skin at the moment.

elf zit zapper

I noticed a pimple on the side of my face last night when I was cleansing off my makeup, it wasn't that noticeable because my hair covers that area when it is down. I have been using the IQQU acne serum for a couple months now, but it really doesn't do much for my skin. I don't suffer from acne anymore, but I do get the occasional breakout. I made an order on elf (eyeslipsface) about a month ago when they had free shipping and in that order was the elf zit zapper and I decided to use it last night before I went to sleep. It had a very natural smell to it and a cooling feeling. It is in a rollerball form and the main ingredient is salicylic acid and contains tea tree oil as well. Although it did not zap away my pimple completely, it did however tone it down a lot and it does't have that sore feeling. I didn't think it would zap away zits like magic when I first bought it, but it did do a good job to treat my breakout. For a dollar, I wish there was something like this when I was in high school, my acne like many others back then was a total nightmare!!! The zit zapper is so affordable and effective. I originally ordered 2 of these and gave the other one to my boyfriend. He gets the occasional breakout too and I think he likes the zit zapper too because its so easy to use.

milia and how to get rid of it

Milia are those clogged pores on your face that looks like white heads. You can easily pop or squeeze out puss from a white head. Unlike white heads, they are very hard to get rid of because there is a tough layer over the milia that is very stubborn. Milia is generally caused by heavy skincare products or products that are too rich for the skin. I first started getting milia when I started using the clinique all about eyes. Although it was not the rich version, it was too rich for my my skin. At first i thought my skin was breaking out in acne, so I didn't really pay much attention to it. After a few months, more appeared near my under eye area. I even had 3 of them lined up on the right side of my under eye area. I decided to look up what they were and how to get rid of it. I found out it was called milia and a lot of people from different forums said that they used a lancet to extract them out. Some said the only way to get rid of milia was to seen a dermatologist. There were some products and remedies mentions like apple cider vinegar and clear baby shampoo. There was even a post about a cream specifically for milia, but I didn't trust it because it looked like it was spammed by the company that made it. Then someone said that they got rid of milia by exfoliating their skin. That was when I thought to myself maybe my current exfoliator was too gentle since I exfoliate often and it's not doing much. So I finally decided to switch back to my old exfoliator, my clean and clear black head scrub with salicylic acid. I have been using it again for the past two weeks and it has scrubbed a few of the bigger ones off. I noticed that after I used it, the layer on top of the milia was thinner, so I just gently squeezed out the puss. Gross, right? But it worked and it was painless. I still have a lot of milia left, mostly on the right side of my face, the left side cleared up. I use the clean and clear blackhead scrub about 2-3 times a week. Hopefully I can scrub off the rest in the future.

this one is my backup tube, but its the old packaging. my mom and i both love to use this. i don't know why i ever stopped using it in the first place. >_<

this is a picture of the new packaging that i got from the clean and clear website

endless order

I just received my endless order today. my friend told me about this site awhile ago, it sells discounted shoes and accessories and they offer free two day shipping on all orders. it's kind of like zappos, but they have a low price guarantee. i'm not sure if zappos has it too. i never got around ordering from them until like last week. i ended up ordering a pair of max studio black satin heels and saved $100. i first saw these on hautelook.com, but they sold out fast and i was so happy to find these on sale at endless. cannot wait to wear them on a night out. =)
