New toys to play with!

Today I was able to stop by Sune, a Asian cosmetic beauty store that also has a salon! I was recommended to go here by one of you! http://swatchesandwhatnot.blogspot.com, thanks so much for the advice :) So I visited this store since I realized it was near my school, I had a one and a half hour break from my classes so it was good timing. I go to school in the city, University of San Francisco so this store was a great find! I can come by here often, so glad its close to my school. I've been super busy this week as always, I'm in the nursing program and have clinical at Kaiser on Wednesdays. So I usually can not blog, comment or check out blogs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays since I have classes all day as well. Just a heads up! But I am try to blog more than once a week & been doing pretty good. Anyways, I really wanted to share my goodies because I'm so in love with one of them!


Cute pink paper bag for your purchases :)


I got three sheet masks by the brand Pure Source, they were $2.50 each! Get 10 for $20. I only wanted to try a few first to see how well they work. The first one is a Tea tree mask and its for helping and clearing acne, 2nd is Lemon to control sebum (oil), clean and minimize pores, and the last one is Ricebran & Arbutin a whitening mask for acne scars or hyper pigmentation. I have combination skin and have a few problem areas that have acne marks so hopefully these will do wonders. I will make a review on them, once I get to try them out!


This is the product I'm so in love with!! The Lioele blooming lip gloss in red cherry. The first time I heard about this product was by HeadtoToe a very popular beauty guru on Youtube. She has a video with this as one of her favorites and shes even wearing it in the video. I loved how it looked on her so I had to try it! I'm so glad they had it and it was only $12, I think thats a good price since Asian cosmetics can be expensive. 



I love the texture so much!!! I'm not usually fond of lip glosses because I hate how sticky they can be and they usually look clear on me when I wear it. I like at least a bit of color on my lips. This is not sticky at ALL nor does it feel heavy. It make my lips feel so soft and smooth when I wear it. I didn't even have to wear lip balm before I used it.



 It gives my lips a natural pretty red pinkish color, it didn't go clear on me! So glad with this purchase and it smells heavenly like succulent fruits!


The sales associate also gave me 4 free samples. A Lioele foundation/bb cream primer, a face cleanser, and two different BB creams to try. I was also really surprised how helpful the sales associate was, she was the one who helped me choose the face masks and when I was looking for the Lioele lip gloss, she knew exactly what I was talking about!

I can't wait to go back to this store and buy and discover new products, they had a great variety which consisted of face creams/washes, all kind of Asian make up brands like Missha, Holika holika, Lioele, Dolly wink false eye lashes, face masks and nail polishes <3

  4. I wish the midwest had stores that carry a lot of Asian beauty brands, especially since you can get sample packs too! Hope to hear about your experiences with those sample BB creams :)

  6. The lip gloss looks lovely on you, such a pretty colour :) I have not tried too many Asian brands, mainly just Missha and the BB cream they use, but it would be interesting to explore more Asian brands and compare them to Western.

    1. Thanks dear!! I have yet to try Missha, I heard its another great BB cream :) I heard they are better than western ones, so far I see its true unless the western BB cream is like 30 or 40 bucks!
