white tea & plum roses

Whoops, I guess I dropped the ball with updating more frequently in 2015. I was going to write a make-up review but I got distracted as usual. Since the city is under some deep freeze today and I got a package yesterday, thought I'd type up a quick haul post. This haul came from kpoptown since I was doing my year end kpop haul for albums and calendars, and they just stocked up on some new products. To be honest, while I love that Innisfree opened up the global site, I wish they implemented a point system and add in new products more frequently to motivate me to keep buying directly from them. That's a whole other story, onto the haul items.

Recently, I got interested in trying some brightening products to lighten some dark spots I've been getting from either the bright store lights or just in general going out a lot more than I have before. While the Tone-Up line is made of berry extract, the White C line is made of Jeju tangerine peels and mint. I mainly chose the White C line over the Tone-Up line this time because I wanted to try the Sleeping Pack. I used the sleeping pack just last night and I suppose my skin did feel smoother since the pack contain shea butter as well as brightening properties, not much for brightening as of yet.

The Double Eye Circle Cream was also a more interesting choice since it comes with both a day/night cream. The day side contains SPF, which is something I've never used for my eye area before. This haul is basically a lot of "trying new things". The day side cream gives a slight white cast that "brightens" the eye area, it's similar to the effect of wearing sun lotion on your face. More in depth review after I use it a bit more.

I also picked up some eye shadows from Innisfree to try them out. Neutrals and burgundy colours are really popular these days so I got a couple of them for myself. I swatched them on my arm earlier and my favourites are definitely #39, #44, and cream #03 right now. I actually also got a The SAEM Shine Jelly Shadow in #02, which is a gorgeous wine red shimmer colour.

There should be another haul post soon for some new Etude House products. I tried to get my hands on the too cool for school multibox but they were sold out, maybe next time... I really wanted to try it after my Innisfree Ampoule Intense cushion ran out. There was also the HERA cushion that I'm still debating about whether I should buy or not considering my employment situation. Either way, I'll try and finish writing that other make-up post soon!
