Daiso Facial Mask Review: BB face mask.

Recently after turning 20, I've notice myself looking more into taking care of myself and skin but obviously I haven't a clue where to start and or what to get. So where else better to start then at Daiso! After shopping there a few times for cute accessories and general Japanese goods I saw that they had a decent spread of skin care stuff.

From other blog reviews about Diaso's products skin care stuff they are pretty good for quality so I decided to give some of their facial masks a try.

Diaso BB Face Mask : $2.80 aud.

Made in Korea.

My Sydney Diaso store only had a small array of masks so I chose the one that had the most amount of English and images I could read. I was looking for something that hydrated my skin and would leave my skin ready for a upcoming convention. The packet came with two masks $1.40 each for a single packet.

Picture of both packets and bare face.

There are instructions on the back of the packets which are straight forward and easy to read.

1. Take out mask and apply onto clean/washed face.
2. Apply mask and leave on for 5-10 minutes depending on your need.
3. Take off mask and discard.
4. Pat excess liquid and let dry.

I opened the packet and surprisingly the mask was completely benched with a gooey liquid (collagen) so taking it out of the packet and putting it onto my face was very weird since it felt like putting a slimy film over my skin haha. 

I know, I look absolutely ridiculous and THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS AROUND! 

Besides the gooey weirdness the mask felt alright on and could actually feel it working and absorbing into my skin. The instructions say to leave it on for 5-10 minutes but I left it on for about 1 hour and a half till the mask dried out a bit to get the most out of the mask.

The mask it's self seemed to be a bit too big for my face and I had to constantly adjust the mask so that it was covering my face properly. Also, it was incredibly difficult to keep a straight face since the mask limits your facial expressions.

My results after an hour of the mask :D 

Nothing really physically noticeable but I could feel a difference. My face was very dewy and hydrated which was something I liked along with oddly making my skin look lighter then it normally is. My skin felt bouncy and fresh too.

I would like to try some more of Daiso's other face masks to see if I get any positive and or noticeable results. Since this is my first results ever using facial masks from Diaso and was pleased with the outcome I got. I wouldn't mind looking at using other types of facial masks from other brands along with other products to try to help my complexion. 

I wouldn't mind recommendations C=   

Angelic Pretty Haul and Chibi-Tenshi Review

Hi!

I couldn't resist getting a few things from the Angelic Pretty online sale! I arrived late to the sale and missed out on a few good things but in the end I'm happy with what I ended up getting. I used the Shopping service Chibi-Tenshi. I had used her service before and this was the second time, I'm extremely happy with her service and how organised she is and would heavily recommend her service. 

I chose EMS and it arrived exactly 4 days after she sent it out. I paid her shipping and she shipped my item out on the very next day. When it arrived it came in a nice sturdy box, I couldn't help myself and opened it up on the kitchen table. I had to go to the post office to get it since my post man was a dick and didn't knock on my door when everyone was home and left a little note to tell me to pic it  up. Apparently he was scared of my tiny Pomeranian -=-;

The first thing I saw was the dress! I ordered the Magical Etoile JSK. I was thinking of getting it in pink but I already had a hell of a lot of pink dresses in my wardrobe and thought I might get something different. I was originally unsure whether to get the red or navy when they first came out but chose the navy at that time. I have two Magical Etoile JSK's now, both in the colours I wanted! The JSK came in a plastic bag with coat hanger and price tag with fabric swatch. ( I tested it and the print doesn't bleed!)

I also bought 3 OTK's and 2 necklaces which I'm super happy about but think I sort of spent too much ;A; Damn sales! Anyway besides my goodies the box was filled with balls of newspaper to prevent things from breaking.

I also got this lovely card from Chibi which I love very much. It's nice to get this in order's from SS's as it makes everything feel more personal.

Apart from my AP sale order I did also ask to get the OP and bag of the Upside down story Disney x AP release but apparently that was going to be a popular release. Chibi also told me that I was 15th in line for the release and told me that she'd try to get the items I wanted but in the end she wasn't able to get any on the release date. She did a instore to try to get my items but wasn't able too get any as most of the items were gone in an instant.

In the end I'm happy I was able to get everything I wanted from the sale.

Chibi_Tenshi Shopping Service + Unboxing Royal poodle coat Review

Early in the year I bought a jacket using Chibi_Tenshi’s shoppng service. I had really wanted to get a jacket for the colder months down here in Sydney and sorta put it on my ‘things to defiantly get in 2014’ list. As I said, I used Chibi’s SS :http://chibi-tenshi.livejournal.com/163340.html .

She replied extremely fast (even with time zones differences) which was very convenient since I was afraid that I might loose out on a auction due to the time differences. She was quick to reply, pleasant to work with and lenient with pay ^-^ so my experience was pleasant with her. She has over 200+ positive reviews so felt safe with handing over my money.

Unboxing/Review

first off. I chose air as it was slightly cheaper and I felt confidant that it would arrive without getting lost since my last order from Japan there was no problems. My package did arrive 7 days after if was shipped but oddly it felt longer.

the package was surprisingly big for just a jacket but it the box was sturdy and had so many stamps! *0*. Also I would like to say that it’s best to get more then one item due to postage being rather expensive and it’s a waist to just be buying one thing.

The contents of my box ^-^ I’m pleased that it came with it’s original bag. There was some other things in it like a bag tag,swimmer tin thing and an AP sticker. I’m not quite sure but they probably came from the seller.

Better shot of the odd things :S I also got a lovely letter from her which was lovely ^-^

Such pretty writing 0-0 so jealous. My hand writing is horrendous.

The coat came wrapped in plastic and was well protected. Once out the coat looked wonderful! I love pink and leopard especially in coat form. Also I love LOVE THE POODLE APPLIQUE! OMG! The coat smelt nice and looked worn, yet not too worn that it was covered in dirt. Japaneses people take really good care of there brand :L 

I was extremely happy with my AP coat and Chibi’s shopping service. will order from her again.

Tokyo Pirates review + Candy Sprinkle boxing 2013/ Review

Okay, so this is a review from when I got my 2013 lucky pack last year. I used this SS to get it : http://tokyopirates.blogspot.com.au/p/shopping-service-terms-and-conditions.html . The SS is an extremely lovely, pleasant, polite and hard working girl who tries her best to meet customer needs . I used her as her blog looked very professional and she was extremely wonderful to work with. It was the first time I’d ever used a SS before so was nervous about handing over a heap of money but Tokyo Pirates made sure that I was comfortable and personal and answered all of my questions without hesitation. So I was extremely pleased with this service and will continue to use her service. anyway~

(note: I did sorta rush though with with the pictures since I just absolutely wanted to get to my goodies ^-^; apologies)

The pack was sent in a sturdy box which, in my opinion was a little too big but I guess it can’t be helped. I think she didn't want the goods inside to be squished or anything.

The contents of the inside as shown with my lucky bag ^-^ I’m so happy that I managed to get one and in my desired colour way.

A La Foret sticker on the handle since she went into Harajuku’s AP store and collected it. She charges 4000 yen ($40~ Aud) for in-store/ new releases and lucky packs but she does what ever she can to ensure she get’s your pack/items.

Came with a nice little hand written thank you care from Tokyo Pirates ^-^ the other rest is on the other side and MY GOD! DOES SHE HAVE NEAT WRITING!!! *0*

The pink bag is HUGE! Perfect for storing my petticoats without them going flat. The horse and bag is matching to the Candy Sprinkle Print <3 love the moon.

Everything that was in my LP was in a large plastic bag. The little invoice is that paper but it’s all in Japanese :s

The dress is wonderful! Love it so so much <3 I wasn’t going to try to get it in the start due to the print having a rabbit in the carousal but thankfully I did get it because it’s wonderful. The only downside of this JSK is that it had no built in petticoat that Ap normally has in their prints

The back has shirring and came with the ribbon (took it off).

The lace is in a star pattern with the AP in the center of them. The lace was very soft and like the rest of AP’s lace was of high quality. I also didn’t notice that the bottom of the dress there’s little dots ^-^ blends in nicely.

Also the Bow in front is undetectable yet the straps do have button’s on them so you can adjust them to different lengths.

The button’s are also lovely, I particularly love them. They shine and sparkle wonderfully and was a great feature of the dress that drew me into to buying it. (pardon the wig strands)

The print up close. The rabbits still seem an off for me for some odd reason. I wish they’d just have the horses all the way round.

I heard that the bow sits awkwardly on peoples head and it’s true. It’s awfully big and awfully shaped. I have to wear my memorial cake bow with it to not make it look as odd on my head. The shape isn't the best and the bottom tie part always seems to be more to one side then the other.

The waist ties have the same trim as Candy Fun Fair’s waist ties which makes me happy since I hat to sell my Candy Fun Fair Skirt which I really liked.

The bag was a surprise since it was rather large! I thought it would be smaller when I first looked at the AP website but I was pleasantly mistaken. The bag is soft, another thing didn't realize and it’s very large.

The inside is lined, and has a lot of space to hold the essentials of what you need like phone, mirror, iPod etc. The zipper is sturdy and also has a little heart on the zip. Most AP bags are really really expensive so I’m so happy to be able to have this.

The OTK’s that came with it I love as well since they match and normal brand socks can cost $30 and after seeing these I think I have a new hobby. collecting brand socks.

And finally the blouse. It is absolutely gorgeous. the lace it beautiful, the quality is superb the only down side is that it is way too small for me to fit ;-; I knew that it wouldn't so I sold it to someone who could. The lace was soft and the blouse consisted of at least 5 different types of lace. I would have wished to have fit it though.

And that concludes the review.
