Haul Time featuring Japanese sunscreen, RRS and Innisfree

The first items in my haul are these! They were 50% off at my local Family Mart (convenience store) so I picked them up for around $3 each! I'm excited to try them out when it gets warmer!

Left: Hadalabo kit, 20ml of the Gokujyun Lotion and 25ml of the UV Moist Emulsion SPF50

Right: Biore UV Perfect Milk (full size)

Since I started frequenting the AB reddit page, I've been interested in trying Benton Cosmetics. I ordered these from RoseRoseShop!

Left: Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream (5ml) and Snail Bee High Content Essence (5ml)

Right: Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel (5ml) and Aloe BHA Skin Toner  (5ml)

My goodies from the Innisfree World tutorial!! I was worried about these as it took forever to reach me and I live in Japan, only an hour plane ride away. But it seems as though everyone is getting them around now.

Included in the trial kit are products from their Green Tea Line including the Balancing Lotion, Balancing Skin, Seed Serum and Balancing Cream.

Here are the rest of the spoils from my RRS order. I like the idea of ordering samples rather than full size. I will be visiting Korea again in three weeks so hopefully some of these work out for me so I can bring some back!

Left to Right: All from Skinfood, their Watery Berry Serum, Royal Honey Hydro Essence, and

Black Pomegranate Emulsion

Left to Right: Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence, Nature Republic Shea Butter Moist Steam Cream, and Mizon Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule 

Lastly were the free gifts from RRS! There is no English on the bottle but a Hangul search brought me to the conclusion that they are from The Face Shop's Jeju Golden Seed Line.

Glossybox Japan November 2014

Here are the contains of my November 2014 box, enjoy!!

Glossybox Japan October 2014

Well I decided to go through the products I've gotten in my Glossyboxes over the past few months. I've used a couple of the items but overall I still have most of them. Below is what I received in my first box which was the October 2014 box. The trend I've noticed with Glossybox Japan is that they will only include one fullsize product with your order. With Glossybox in America there are generally bigger samples given.

The overall feeling of the box.

Glossybox Japan March Box 2015

Hello everyone, I wanted to finally get around to posting my Japanese Glossybox. I signed up for the the 6-month plan and this is the final month for me (yeah it took me a while to start blogging about it). The 6-month plan cost 8,640 yen which right now is equivalent to around $72, so around $12 a box. I didn't think it was worth it honestly so I probably won't extend the plan. But who knows, so now on to the products I got.

This is the presentation of the box when first opened.

Empties part 1

I've been neglecting this blog big time and it's a shame. I have a lot of empties that I want to log and then throw out, so this will be an empties review of various products!! (Sorry for such crappy photos!!)

This was a refill of some Biore Makeup remover wipes, sorry I don't know the whole name. I find that Japanese face wipes have a lot of alcohol in them and dry my skin really badly. The wipe itself was on the thin side and not the most comfortable to use.

Etude House Be Clear Moisturizer Review

This is a review  for Etude House's Be Clear Moisturizer. The "Be Clear" line has four products including:

• a cleansing foam
• a toner
• a moisturizer
• a sheet mask

Originally I thought "be clear" meant preventing breakouts, but it is a "whitening" line, meaning that it helps lighten dark spots and discoloration.

The box along side the container of product.

The side of the container, telling the brightening complexes within the formula.

English blurb about how effective the product is, and including directions.

Ingredients list in English.

Product is a thick white cream with the consistency of sunscreen.

A little difficult to blend into the skin, further rubbing in will allow it to soak into the skin.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Pros: I have oily skin and the level of moisture in the product is perfect for that, those with dry skin will want to steer clear of this product as it doesn't provide much moisture. The high SPF is always great when you live in a sunny area, this product does a good job at controlling oil and as a base for makeup. The smell of the product is light and pleasant, and the packaging is adorable. I don't know about the "whitening" properties because I haven't used it that long and also I use many products for my hyperpigmentation and acne marks so its impossible to pinpoint the cause exactly.

Cons: This product takes a bit of work to blend in, initially I was having problems with the product getting caught in my eyebrows and leaving them white-ish. Now I avoid getting the product there. This product leaves a whitecast not only in pictures but in real life too, so I personally won't wear it without foundation or bb cream over it. Those with lighter skin than may be able to get away with it though.

Would I repurchase?

I would repurchase, this is a good daytime moisturizer for me.
