package from california! asian makeup

my mom ordered me makeup from an asian website which is based in LA, california and it finally arrived!

it actually arrived a few days ago but i've been too busy to actually open the package and take pictures of it.




i ordered four mascaras and a blemish balm/BB cream.



heroine make kiss me mascara: long&curl and volume&curl
i have used the long&curl (first mascara in the 2nd picture) for quite some time now and it has been unlike anything i had tried.
i will do a detailed japanese mascara review very soon!
so i went ahead and purchase two more of these mascaras: one in the long&curl (like i had used before) and one in volume&curl.
i have yet to use volume&curl, but i will do a review on that as well one i do.
by the looks of it, i think i will like it!
it has fibers and a normal bristle.
around $22 (it differs from site to site but on average)


majolica majorca lash expander frame plus (x2)
correct me if i'm wrong but i believe majolica majorca is a brand from shiseido.
shiseido really knows how to please asian women!
i have heard great things about this and i decided to buy two while i was at it.
the wand is different- one side is bristle-like, and the other is more brush-like but both are plastic.
i thought i would have trouble putting this on, but no problem at all.
i could do it with no difficulty and it separated my lashes a lot which i really liked.
it has fibers as well, as most japanese brand mascaras do.
it is very black though. and very waterproof. 
i have only tried this once so i will also include this in my mascara review.
i believe it is around $26

skin 79 super beblesh balm (BB cream) vip gold collection
i love the packaging!
it was a lot smaller than i expected but i think it will do. 
if it were any bigger, i wouldn't use it all in 2 years.
it has a cool pump system.
half a pump, or even 1/4 of a pump is enough for the entire face!
it is really grey at first and i thought it wouldn't match my skin colour because i am very fair/pale.
but it oxidizes and the colour is perfect!
it feels very nice and dewy- without being sticky.
it feels and looks really finished although i don't have foundation or concealer on.
the coverage is really great, it is also build-able too.
it covers redness, blemishes, most of freckles, and some pimples.
i did a second layer on my cheeks where my freckles are, and you could hardly see it!
definitely a very good buy, better than the dr. schrammek BB cream because it is a lot lighter and softer.
oh and there is a hot pink version of this for more oily skin. this one is for normal to dry skin. and it does seem to keep my skin from drying and keeping it well moisturized.
seriously could not love this enough... ahhh!
$29 at skin79.com - make sure it's not fake as there are a lot of fakes.


anyways, that is it for today! and i will definitely do a review of the japanese mascaras and the BB cream in more detail if you want. but the BB cream was pretty much explained but any clarification later on in the usage, i will update on!

thank you for reading, have a splendid day or night! :)
