November Empties

Sorry for the lack of posts, I made the stupid choice of doing some summer units. Now I have been stuck with loads of essays and presentations. I just wanted to quickly do this post and then return to finishing my uni work :(

I really cannot believe it is December already, this year has gone in a flash for me, maybe it because I have been so busy with uni. Anyways let's dig in.

Evening Skincare Routine

Today, I thought I should do a blog post on one of my favorite posts that I enjoy reading, which are skincare routines. I love reading about new products and how they work for other people. As you may already know, I love trying out different brands of skincare products. I have still not found my all time holy grails, the reason why is because I just tend to get wanna try something new. I have split my skincare routines into a morning and evening posts. Let's start with the evening one first.

Monthly Empties - September

September has been a mad rush for me, I was busy with uni and work. Plus, I got really sick :( Anyway, lets see what is in my empties tray.

Shiseido Benefiance Concentrated Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream

As we all know that the eye area is the first part of the face that begins to show the signs of aging. When it comes to skincare I believe that prevention is better than curing later on. I also believe that it is never too early to start using an eye cream, just make sure to buy one that is most suitable to your age and your concerns. I should point out that must Shiseido products are really expensive in Australia and I have not tired many products from them. I also never purchase any high end products in Australia without them being on sale. This cream retails for $55 to $77 and I couldn't justify they price, so when I saw it on sale for $35 on Sasa.com during the International Women's Day Sale. I just had to have it. 

HAUL - SaSa.com

SaSa.com is my weakness every time I try to limit my self I also end up getting something from them. Last week they had a free shipping promotion, just spend $29 or more. I had a few items on my mind so I thought why not.

Empties #5

This time I haven't gotten around to finishing as much products as last time. I have been really good in that I haven't opened any new products. I'm trying to finish everything that I have open right now. I can control myself when it comes to skin care because I like to completely finish the product and then open something new, but when it comes to body care products I just cannot do the same. I have about 5-6 bottles of body lotions open and they are all over the house, in the bathroom, bedroom, near my bed, near my desk, and on my dresser. I WILL finish them without opening another one. Anyway let's see what I finished this time.

SaSa.com Haul

SaSa.com is my weakness, I just seem to find my self browsing the site and checking out the new stock and the clearance sections all the time. Recently, they were having free shipping if you purchase $19 or more. Which is great considering that shipping to Australia costs $6, if you spend more than $75 you get free shipping.

I was running low on haircare products so I thought I should buy some back ups. So this haul is basically just haircare products. I love to try out different shampoos and conditioners all the time, some people say that is bad and that we should stick to just one product. While others say that we should switch them to avoid product build up. I don't know which one to go by but I get bored of a product by the end, so I'm always trying new products.

 

Empties #3

I cannot believe how fast November went by, we are nearing the end of another year. Time really does fly. Anyway, this month I have quite a few empties to show you. I have been going through my products and trying to use them up. Let's dig in. 

 

 

Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Eye Contour Cream Review

Hi, I have a week off uni and while I cannot say that I have no essays due, but I'm not as busy so I thought I would do a review today for you. As the title suggests I will be reviewing the Bio-Performance Super Eye Contour Cream, such a long name.

Amount: 15mL

Made in: Japan

Price: $33.20 (Sale)

Purchase: Shiseido counters, Sasa.com, ebay etc.
Product Info: Super Eye Contour Cream has been developed with 

Wrinkle-Targeting Complex, to address wrinkles and fine lines

even before they form. This complex combines the unparalleled re-texturizing

capabilities of a vitamin derivative with botanical Gambir Extract to restore and

preserve skin smoothness.

 Product Instruction: Apply as the last step of your skincare routine, 

press pump once to dispense cream into fingertip.

Gently massage cream into eye area with pads of index, middle and ring 

fingers, beginning at the inner corner of the upper lid and circling the eye.

I must point out that I'm starting to notice a few fine lines under my eyes 

and I have always heard/read that its never too early to start using an eye cream.

Its a very thick cream and less than one pump is enough for both of my eyes, 

if you follow the instructions and massage the cream will into the eye area it will absorb 

perfectly without leaving and residue or a sticking feeling.

With that been said I only use this at night because I found that when I

used this during the day, My concealer/BB cream just slip and slid 

around the eye area. 

Let's move onto the packing, its housed into a very luxurious pump bottle, 

the most hygienic design for skincare. Shiseido have also added a 

flap to keep the product safe if you are traveling. The bottle is made of plastic, while is 

keeps the bottle feeling light. I do prefer companies that are quite expensive to come with

glass packing, oh well.

I have been using this for the past three weeks and I have seen an

improvement, a few lines did go away so I'm hoping that with continued use it

will just keep on getting better.

I bought this from sasa.com, while they were having a sale and it was just $33, considering 

that if you buy this at a Shieido counter in Australia it will cost you $115.

It take no math to see the price difference. Sasa have this for $47 now, just keep as eye 

on them because they are always having sales.

Repurchase: Yes, when they have a sale ;)       

Love 

Sakura
