Gift from Sayuri

Sayuri got this wonderful Victoria's Secret set for christimas. We exchanged x-mas gifts when I got back from Japan (Jan 7th).

Merry Christmas!

I can't believe it's Christmas! It honestly doesn't feel like it for me. When I woke up this morning, I wasn't excited to run downstairs to open presents. Just feels like a normal day. Not sure why. Anyways, I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas spending time with loved ones.

I didn't do much today. I just did some last minute packing before I headed over to my boyfriends for Christmas dinner. On the way over, I stopped over to a Japanese bakery to pick up cake. Boyfriend's mother made yakiniku. Wha so good! I stuffed myself. Then spend the rest of the night watching Season 1 of 30 Rock. My flight to Tokyo leaves at 3pm but I need to leave the house at 11am. Holiday rush. It's going to be super crowded at LAX.

Oh yeah here are my nails for today!
I bought this from Daiso on Monday for $1.50

Daiso Pomegranate Yogurt Pack

I bought 4 different Yogurt Facial packs from Daiso a couple weeks back. I learned that yogurt is not only beneficial for your digestive system but also for your skin. Ehow says "Yogurt is effective at cleansing and disinfecting pores, preventing acne, moisturizing skin and revitalizing its texture." Since I'm on winter break might as well use this pack.

Product Info:
❤ Pomegranate Yogurt Pack
❤ 18g
❤ 2 yogurt packs


How to use:
The directions are listed in Japanese and English on the cover.
❤After face is washed, the skin toner is painted, and please avoid surrounds of the eyes and mouth and paint the yogurt pack on entire face. Please wipe off by cotton in 5~10mins, and flush it with lukewarm water.
❤Apply 2 times a week


Packaging: 
For pomegranate, the front cover is red. You can detach the two packs by ripping them apart at the middle then peeling off the cover to use product. When you peel the cover, it appears to not have much product because it doesn't fill up the whole container. But once you spread it all over your face, you notice that it's a good amount and end up with leftovers. With the leftovers, I just ended up spreading it on my neck and hands.

Scent:
Smelled really good. I just wanted to eat it *_*

Price:
$1.50 for two packs!

Mask:
After a minute (with the product over my face), I started to feel a burning sensation on my face. Some masks I tried before usually give me a light burning sensation but this one was REALLY burning. Then my face cooled down and I waited for 10mins to pass. I washed off the mask and my skin felt super smooth. I'm lactose intolerant so I can understand why my skin was reacting the way it was. But I don't suggest this everyone.

Even though, I'm lactose intolerant, my case my not be as bad as other people with it. I'm just a rebel and eat/use diary products whenever I want and suffer afterwards.



Pros:
- Lots of product
- Smells yummy
- Really good for people with acne

Cons:
- Not everyone can use especially if they are allergic

H&M White Socks

So bored. Just blogging away. I'll be making a couple more posts before I go to bed. Right now I'm posting my H&M purchase. 

Bought these cute white socks for my winter trip. I have a feeling I'll be buying lots of white clothing in Tokyo or clothing to match well with these socks. 

winter trip, daiso, and nail polish

I'm so excited for my winter trip to Tokyo. It's been 3 years since the last time I visited and it'll be the first visit during winter. I usually go during the summer but I got tired of the heat. Time to bundle up for the coldness. I'll be gone Dec 26th 2012- Jan 7th 2012. My schedule is super packed with visiting relatives and fukubukuro (lucky bag) shopping.

I went to Daiso a couple weeks ago. I bought these purely out of boredom. hehe.
2 x facial washes
4 x yogurt facial packs
5 x 4 color eyeshadow
1 x 5 color eyeshadow


This purchase might be made out of boredom but I really want to expand my nail polish collection since I stopped biting my nails (woot). Since it's december I picked out this Ice Princess collection from L.A. Colors.
Price: $5.99
