Korean and Japanese Skin Care Haul

I've been saving my money for my must purchase: Korean and Japanese skin care. I was in Japantown yesterday, and luckily besides Daiso, there's also The Face Shop (Korean Skin Care and Cosmetics) just a few walks away! This is an awesome time saver without traveling from Point A to Point B!

I first visited The Face Shop. It was an overwhelming experience because I do want to try every product while I was inside the store. I was screaming with joy! Do keep in mind that I had a difficult time which products I want to purchase.


THE FACE SHOP



Raspberry Roots Sleeping Mask ($20)
Overnight treatment mask is formulated with plant extracts of Himalayan raspberry roots and grain extracts for continuous hydration and pore-tightening effect while you sleep. Plant extracts also boost skin's ability to produce collagen, leading to a dramatic improvement in skin tone and texture upon waking up, making the most of your beauty sleep.




Mango Seed Silk Moisturizing Oil to Foam ($22)
Cleansing oil + cleansing foam type
Melts make-up and impurities gently like cleansing oil
Enables clean and refreshing feeling without double cleansing
Enriched moisturizing ingredient of mango seed protects skin to be moisturized after cleansing




Konjac Sponge ($7)
This cleansing puff made with 100% all natural vegetable fiber konjac contains 10% natural bamboo charcoal removes skin impurities.




Volcanic Clay Nose Strips ($6)
The Face Shop Volcanic Clay Blackhead Aloe Nose Strip, formally known as the Blackhead EX Pore Strip, is your go-to product for removing close to 100% of the white and blackheads. The product contains New Zealand Volcanic Clay and has strong blackhead and oily secretion absorption properties.




Volcanic Clay Black Head Gel Oil ($15)
The Face Shop New Zealand Volcanic Clay Black Head Gel Oil is a pore scrub gel oil specifically used to remove blackheads. It is an effective cleansing product that draws out black heads and removes dead skin cells with the use of micro scrub technology.




Modeling Gel Patch Goodbye Smile Fold ($6)
Boost up your skin strength with face yoga and this amazing patch! A patch that will create a lively lock around the mouth area by making the skin smooth and resilient.




Face Masks (Chia Seed Mask $4)
(Real Nature Face Mask: Rice, Acai Berry, Green Tea, Red Ginseng, Mung Bean - $2 each)
Chia Seed Mask: The moisture mask sheet consists of gel-type essence containing chia seed extract, which has 10 times more moisture than any other element, filling up your skin with water from the inside and transforming it into moisturized skin; Mung Bean - a cleansing/skin tone purifying mask sheet with mung bean extract, effective in purifying pores for a clean and smooth skin texture; Rice - an exfoliating/complexion improvement mask sheet to smoothen and brighten dull and rough skin; Green Tea - a hydrating & energizing mask sheet containing green tea extract to fill dry skin with refreshing and hydrating moisture; Red Ginseng has 6-year-old red ginseng gives rich nutrition to the face. The Red Ginseng with rich in Saponin helps the facial skin soothe and healthy; Acai Berry - A firming mask sheet containing Acai Berry extract to improve resilience and provide moisture to the skin.


After I paid, the lady told me to get $27 worth of FREE items. If you spent over a certain amount (I forgot how much), you are eligible to get free gifts, 30% of the total items bought. Here's what I got:


Milk Plus Creamy Body Lotion ($15; I got it for FREE)
Like a refreshing drink of nutritious milk, this body line with more than 11% of Milk plus complex and a blend of chamomile and petal extracts hydrates and soothes sensitive or parched skin.




Nature Garden Cleansing Bar: Aloe and Seaweed ($6 each; I got it for FREE)
A handmade vegetable-based soap for your face and body. It is so gentle and can be used by absolutely anyone. Low pH level makes it even better for a sensitive skin. 

ALOE: It relieves thermal burn and sunburn and promotes wound healing and prevents progressive skin damage. It also moisturizes while calming.

SEAWEED: It removes excess sebum while detoxifying so that it is recommended to oily skin. It has strong anti-inflammatory property so that it helps to heal wound.




And of course, how could we forget samples!






DAISO

There are definitely a lot of cute stuff costing a dollar and fifty which is very affordable! I even visited a small novelty store, and I was in tears how cute the erasers, notebooks, pens, plush toys, and etc were! *sigh* I already have some particular items in mind so it wasn't difficult which aisle in Daiso I need to go to.


Small Half-Moon Pouch ($1.50)
I love its cute polka dot design! It is small and handy for my epilator.




Foaming Net ($1.50)
I saw one of these on Youtube, and I find it a terrific idea. Been wanting to get these for months now! You only need a little amount of your favorite cleanser, add water, and you will get amazing fine lather for your delicate skin. Massage it on to the face gently. The foam acts as a cushion between hands and face preventing harsh habit of rubbing and damaging skin.




Pore Care Pack ($1.50)
It gets rid of blackheads and whiteheads.Though I am kind of grossed out with a photo of a nose
with blackheads. I get it, however, they could have made it like an illustration.




Pumice Stone ($1.50)
Gets rid of dead skin.




Natural Plant Sponge ($1.50)
This feels rock-solid when you touch it. This will be interesting the minute I try it and see how well it will exfoliate. Hydrate it with water. It will double its size and will become squishy to be used for the skin.


I am so happy! I cannot wait to use it and tell you guys about it!
