hong kong haul! (sorta) 💫 + reviews!

oh jesus well once again im up to no good again & have created a brand new blog that i will probably get bored of in approximately 12 days but in honor of its rebirth i've painstakingly decided to post a v picture heavy haul!! all the items were bought by the one & only, my mother 💖

i've started using a few of the many products already but i'm no where close to being able to decide which type of people i'd recommend it to, or if its really any good for all that matter. OKAY! so without furthado lets cut a piece of spaghetti to welcome the grand opening with tonkatsu2 !!

so before we start this was the mess that i lugged back to my room the night of may 3rd, & i'll spare you all the details of clothing bc first off there aren't many HAHA & also bc im wearing the pair of paul frank pants my mom bought me & 'frankly' im too lazy to show you so maybe during finals season where i am desperate & a walking corpse you'll see me in them in class

however one of my favorite clothing items are these!!

i am not kidding when i tell you my cats literally piss all over my shoes & its like ??? what the flippin tacos i clean ur litter box this is how u repay me ??? anyways being only 5'2 i love wearing flatforms & i fuking BROKE my favorite pair lol so just in time i am saved, but the white ones get dirty really easily i literally went to superstore yesterday & they r already gray hah............

OKAY !!! SO FINALLY !!! this should be i think all the skincare products my mom bought me & the bottom picture is everything i've started using since yesterday rofl. remember these items bc IDK if its bc i've been extremely ugly this past month, but my skin recovered almost instantly after i begun using them, like rather than looking like a baby's ass my skin feels like it so god bless. 

the first item i used was this! this is the tony moly apple peeling cream & really i just bought it out of just wanting more shit but its actually v good! maybe it's too soon to say anything too spectacular but because it's a cream its a lot more heavy than any other gels. it literally forces you to massage your face for 3-5 minutes before you even being to see the WEE bit of eraser bits that it forms, but it does a really great job in smoothing out any rough patches or dry skin!! if you try it out on the back of ur hand you can see the eraser bits remove dead skin by turning GRAY !!!!! its like halloweentown return of kalibar where they all turn gray & sort out socks & shit 

if you follow me on tumblr u should know that all i do is live aimlessly until i eat tonkatsu & watch hk youtubers! almost every single one i've watched has recommended rosette's cleansing paste as being affordable, gentle & non-irritable. & really they are so cheap holy shit lol, in hk sasa they are only about 42$hkd each which is basically 6$cad do u know what u can buy with that in canada? literally only fucking THREE JUNIOR MCCHICKENS !!! DO YOU THINK THAT IS ENOUGH TO SATISFY ME??

this cleansing paste's texture is v similar to a very smooth mudmask, but they come in four different flavors (?) rofl idk, there is (in order in the pic) ocean clay, sea clay, white clay, & acne care which i didn't buy. but tbh, the green & pink one feel & kinda smell the same lol 

okay the only reason i was lured into buying this (neutrogena hydroboost treatment lotion pre-essence) was mainly bc whoever spoke as the narrator for charlene's commercial was too persuasive & it got to me. but i'm not gunna lie because i actually fking love this omf!!!! 

it's texture is v hydrating which i need v bad because i literally look like the thing from fantastic four but a very tiny amount can cover my whole face. right after you use it your face feels more alive, theres no brightening no nothing but it just feels like your skin is fully hydrated!! 

& bc i can sizzle like an egg on the sidewalk in the summer & still stay fucking RAW with the yolk all runny & shit i never tanned at all, even if i did i'd never be very dark so i never wore sunscreen bc im just fking idk??? anywho i decided to buy this one (biore UV aqua rich watery essence SPF50 PA++++) bc it was recommended as being very light but moisturizing PLUS it doesn't leave that sticky 'remember you got sunscreen on' type of feel which i loved. once again this was extremely cheap, & it absorbs hella quickly too!!!

this one i thought was pretty cool despite me never having the ability to keep using eye masks. it's called the ceko black pearl & gold hydrogel eye patch, even though you can all read it there whatever. i've never heard of this brand at all but this is pretty cute & environmental because rather than opening 50 new packs of eye masks they just shove it all inside a lil box haha. if you ever used undereye masks especially from my beautiful diary (?) THEY FALL OUT OF THE PACKAGING !!! or they flop around and fall into the garbage honestly. 

another random purchase from ceko was this piggy collagen sleeping pack!! the texture is so flippin weird holy shit, it looks like baby food but its actually kinda solid, it's like jello but it forms back into its original shape afterwards. it still does a good job in locking in moisture when you sleep & rly don't try to compare to laneige bc..........song hye kyo. it doesn't absorb very fast, but then again you don't need a lot to cover your face & neck. this will probably be my go to night moisturizer bc ive gone through like 4 cans of laneige sleeping pack. 

& possibly out of everything i wanted to try the most this one takes the gold....

laneige's bb cushion (in #23 sand beige SPF50 PA+++) !!!! i absolutely love this & i've already made the cushion dirty bc i mean i already got the white shoes dirty so i might as well. it's coverage is just perfect for me to cover up any nasty pores around my nose & cheeks. it gives that really flawless 'i always drink 8 cups of water' look imo. + it smells really good jesus. it also comes with a refill & the mirror is really clear.............like when i look into it i look like a witch thats how clear it is HAHA

& lastly (?) i think from the new products that i've tried this is the infamous tony moly peach hand cream. if anything tony moly is really great at making their products smell like food, even the apple peeling cream smells exactly like green apples. like not even just apples, but ESPECIALLY green apples that's insane. theres none of that 'mystery' guess what berry this is fruit rollup shit this is the real deal.

besides any new products ive tried & haven't yet i managed to restock on a few products i've used before. sadly i wasn't able to get my hands on the last bonanza mask targeted for hydration so my mom just bought me the zymo-excitative-membranous again except in 250g. a cleanser i swore by shiseido's perfect whip which is HELLA smooth i tried so hard to show you but i couldn't bc i was tired & weak. + innisfree's blackheadout balm which doesn't really get rid of blackheads HAHA but just softens your skin & basically very gently sandpapers over any protruding blackheads. 

SO because i have nothing else to say as for experience the rest will just be my life story. jk im not a bitch

a lot of products i bought were really just from an act of impulse & some are just what my mom decided i would like haha. out of everything here the only one i've used before was annie's way charcoal mask so everything else here is new & can either make or break me so stay tuned.

lol long time fan of laneige but this peeling cream (multiberry yogurt peeling gel) IDK tbh i bought it because i thought the apple peeling cream would be shit HAHA, but its not. i've tried it on the back of my hand & it smells really good rofl but no eraser bit forms its more like little micro beads.

deep cleaning masks can sincerly bring my back from the dead, but there are many mixed reviews on hanaka's charcoal facial mask (on the right) there are some that say consistent usage helps reduce blackheads (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), & some just say it does nothing. i don't know im not god. the right one with ella literally the fucking funniest lady in the world i have no idea what brand it is BUT I THINK its a sister company of my beautiful diary hoho 

i wanted to show you what the inside of this ceko carbonated bubble clay mask looked like bc it looked like melted aero bars but its melted, but it still has the bubble shit HAHA but it was way to messy. apparently bubbles will form when u use this !!! i will use it soon & report back if i don't die form hunger right now. 

OKAY just as an fyi i have used annie's way before but i can't give a v reliable review besides i know it helps make blackheads easier to clean BECAUSE it is very very very very VERY !! important that if you do decide to purchase annie's way that you check what skintype you're suitable for. annie's way gel & sheet mask comes in an array of different flavors (?) rofl whats that called?? each jar is suitable for a specific type of skin, if you have combination or dry skin you CANNOT & i repeat DO NOT actually use any of them that are specified for overly oily. it comes from experience that too much moisture will be pulled away from your skin & it sucks so don't do that bc your face will become irritated & unhappy!! idk y my mom bought me the charcoal one again HAHA, but my brother can use it. the other two that i THINK will be suitable for me (combination/a lil dry & sensitive base) are the snail repairing jelly mask & the honey deep moisturizing mask.

this one not gunna lie im pretty excited about. it's the borghese fango active mud for face &  body. first off the packaging is extremely pretty but the fking way to open it is kinda dangerous cuz the clasps fucking HURTS if u open it weird !!! i don't care though because i am strong, besides that it comes with a lil sponge that looks like a piece of cheesecake but only the spongy part & only that. 

OMG I AM SO TIRED & SO ARE YOU BUT ARE WE DONE ROFL NO FIGHT THROUGH THIS I AM SUFFERING 2 !!! 

okay this part isn't 2 bad because i can only really talk about 3? of the products below based on experience u will have your life back soon. 

uh this was all unintended i know i look like a greedy ass hoe, but i only asked for like 2 types of the mask here rofl, i feel like that one princess that brings all her shit for a overnight stay like kim shin young on the first episode of human condition when she bought her fucking whole water matress or smt to the new house HAHA. 

anyways to spare time the following masks are from left to right 

• holika holika's pig nose clear blackhead 3 step kit (@newbalancekr if u read this i bought this bc u recommended it haha 💖)
• SOME RANDOM B1A4 NUTRA ENERGY MASK HAHA
• kao megurizumu steam hot eye mask (!!)
• timeless truth snail extract with sakura repairing mask
• timeless truth hyaluronic acid q10 hydrating mask
• adin arbutin essence mask
• adin ocher essence mask
• faith in face after shower look !!!!!!!!
• JSYY collagen crystal eye mask

well not gunna lie i don't know like 1/2 of these brands at all, but i think they're all from hk colormix or sasa or bonjour either or. 

i have only used the ones that i italicized. i can't pass judgement on holika holika yet bc i know it has a lot of good reviews & the nose pore strips def feel a lot less gentler than the biore or that other shit where i'd CRY when i rip it off HAHA. the third step is a lil messy but i think its rly good for when u have a tonkatsu date with the boy u like & u have to look like u look good everyday. 

the second one i used is the hot eye mask & I SWEAR TO GOD IT GETS SO HOT !!! I think its really good for if you live in places where it is really really cold or you sleep with the air condition on because otherwise it gets hot to the point that it doesn't burn but it gets a lil uncomfortable. basically its just an eye mask u sleep with on, similar to those that u use to block out sunlight but it just heats up. it heats up almost instantly once you open the package but you'll sweat HAHA. 

besides all of this my mom also swung by muji !!!! every tumblr users aesthetic heaven 

uh not gunna lie the cotton pads kinda suck rofl, they're 2 thick!!! but its okay they are still good for wiping off any make up residues because they don't shed, its not v good for quick hydration though because you'll have to pour A LOT of ur cosmetics onto the pad before u can stick on ur face. 

besides the cotton pads she also managed to get me a few pens bc ive been writing with those DAMN multicolor rilakkuma pens for the entire semester now bc it is also a pencil + 5 colored pens but u know what im almost 20 i need to move on. 

holy shit......................r we there r we done?? almost because this last item is my altime favorite out of everything, all the pictures above were taken with it & i treasure it like i treasure katsucult. & it is.............

my new redmi note !!!!!!!!!!!!!! im honestly shitting myself bc i love it so much i think im going to name it 'muscle boy'. if any of you reading this are my friends irl you should know i really hated my old phone & I WAS THE ONE THAT PICKED IT OUT !! but i've been through so many annoying shit with it when my dad bought himself the redmi note i asked my mom to get me one 2 so we can match jk. its still a little heavy but its camera is a++++ !!!

i get a lot of asks about how do you keep your skin so soft & TRUST ME its because of the redmi note's own camera. it's insane like if u saw me in real life i don't look that bad, but half the time i look like kururu from keroro that green frog (truth be told i rly loved it when i was young DON'T JUDGE ME). its honestly a FRACTION of the cost for a samsung or any bigger brands, its cheap but its insanely efficient it functions perfectly fine & it has cute lil sounds on it HAHA 

this is my home screen & some other random page on the phone. the theme is from phone theme shop (downloadable via playstore) & opened through dodol launcher (again downloadable). the background is the LINE BEAR rofl bc even tho i can't use multicolored pens anymore i can treasure my youth this way in secret rofl. 

ANYWAYS SHIT !!! WE ARE DONE !!! CAN U BELIEVE IT !! LOOK IN THE MIRROR !! YOU ARE OLDER NOW !! THANK YOU V MUCH FOR READING !! HAVE SOME CHEESY BREAD !!
