[Review] [JOLSE] Olivarrier Dual Moist Toning Lotion 180ml review

 Hi pandas,

How are you doing? I know, I was gone for a long time again. This heat here in Japan is really getting to me. I think I might even had a slight heat stroke last week...
Anyways, I come bearing gifts today. Namely in the form of a new review!
A while ago Jolse was looking for people to test and review the Olivarrier Dual Moist Toning Lotion and I was one of the lucky winners!

[Review] Tonymoly x Pokemon

Hi pandas,

how are you doing? The deadline for my master thesis is approaching faster and faster. Soon I'll probably be worrying myself sick and pulling all-nighters. At least I feel like I'm making some progress recently.

But that of course doesn't mean that I can't invest a few minutes into this blog. I have a huge box with make-up that I want to review and I'll dig my way through it from now on.
The first products are these cute guys:

[Review] The Faceshop Disney Collection

Hi pandas,

How are you doing? Spring finally arrived here in Japan and cherry blossoms are blooming so everybody is being busy watching them and taking 5 million pictures, including me :D
Life has been pretty busy lately and will continue to be very busy since I need to turn in my master thesis in less than 3 months....time is flying!

I haven't done a non-skincare product post in what seems like an eternity and I always wanted to talk about these cute guys, so here we go:

[Review] Kikumasamune Essence

Hi Pandas,

how are you doing? Life has been crazy the past few months. There's around one million things I'm trying to deal with at the same time, resulting in me having hardly any time for anything and being very stressed. This also means that his blog has (sadly) dropped very low in my list of priorities. I'll hopefully be able to post from time to time but please have mercy with me if I'll vanish for another few months again.


Nevertheless, let's jump into today's review which I have been wanting to write for ages. I have a lot of love for this product and I need to get it out somewhere!

What they say:
The Beauty serum featuring kikumasamune's Kojic Acid rich dry sake to hydrate, soothe, smooth and brighten the skin.
An additional blend of 12 amino acids, 3 ceramides, 2 vitamin C derivatives, arbutin, and placenta extract further nourishes and protects the skin while helping to fade discolourations.
Lightweight, slightly acidic formula absorbs quickly, leaving skin looking plump, supple and luminous. Ideal for use on the face and neck.

[Empties] #18

Hi pandas,

Wow, this time I was really gone for a long while. What can I say, life has kept me busy pretty much 24/7 lately. Living situation is not really what I want/need right now, part-time job, my research for my thesis...well, enough for the excuses, I finally sat down and wrote a post. There has been quite a mass of empties floating around in my room so it's time for another empties post.

I apologize already for the picture quality. Taking good pictures in Japan with natural daylight in winter is a huuuge challenge and most of the time they turn out either oversaturated or blueish. I tried my best to fix it.

[Review] TonyMoly The Chok Chok Green Tea Watery Cream

Hi pandas,

how are you doing? A new term in university has started and I also have recently moved to a new apartment meaning most of my days are packed with errands and/or studying. This adult thing can be tiring XD

Nevertheless I planned some time to blog for today and I bring you a more or less simple product that may not look like much but still deserves the spotlight for some time.

What they say:
The hydrating skin care contains the moisture of fermented green tea cultivated by sunlight, wind, and nature throughout four seasons.

[Review] Cosrx Sleeping Packs

Hi pandas,

how are you doing? For me, my second year in my Masters program will start very soon. Time is flying.
Today I bring you a very, very long overdue review of the Cosrx Sleeping Packs, namely the Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask and the Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask

What they say:
Honey: Enriched with more than 85% of propolis extract, and natural bees wax, this mask provides intensive hydration with refreshing moisture.

Rice: Enriched with more than 65% of rice extract, this mask provides intensive nourishment with deep moisture and brightening.

[Review] Clio Kill Cover Airwear Protexture Foundation SPF 25 PA+++

Hi Pandas,

how are you doing? I'm currently still in Germany and despite being in a rather difficult family situation I'm trying to make the best out of it.
True to my blogger self I also brought heaps of makeup and skincare with me because "I will review this while on vacation"...well...needless to say it's not going that well so far XD
In that light, I will try to be a good blogger now and get done with a few reviews.

First one is this baby:

What they say:
Inspired by Kabui brush, KILL COVER AIRWEAR PROTEXTURE FOUNDATIONS are designed to create a second-skin effect that is invisible glow skin and feels airly light weight there without forsaking coverage. (I spy some Engrish XD)

[Haul] Taipei and Seoul + Seoul Pt.2

Hey pandas,

how are you doing?
I come with another long overdue post. Back in march I was visiting Seoul and Taipei and now in August I was in Seoul again. Obviously I couldn't pass the opportunity to go shopping in both cities as well!

[Review] Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liner Star Wars Edition

Hi pandas,

how are you?
I am so, so, so late with this review, it's unbelievable...

[Review] Beyond real water tint

Hey pandas,

how are you doing? I'm trying to finally keep up with my reviews so straight away here's a new one. I have clearly a rather unhealthy obsession with lip products so it's not a big surprise that this review is another lip product :)

What they say:
No dryness color vividly high coloring water tint.

[Review] Too Cool For School Color In Pop Lip Lacquer

Hi pandas,

How are you doing?
I'm finally trying to get some reviews done. There's especially a lot of lip products waiting for me to write about them, it almost feels like I'm drowning in them. And yet I keep buying more...

So here is the long overdue review of this lovely baby

What they say:
Vibrant color and incredibly moisturizing lip lacquer by famed brand, Too Cool for School. A favorite by many, these lip lacquers are great to keep lips moisturized as well. These contain 10% sunflower seed oil, panthenol, and phytosphingosine to keep lips from drying out.

Melon makeup メロンメイク

Hi pandas,

how are you doing?
I have been wanting to participate in the Asian Beauty Link Party for quite a while now but could never really find the time. But now that I'm on a roll with my blogposts and the theme was "fruity", a very interesting theme, I thought to myself, why not?
I also took this opportunity to do something different than the usual review: a makeup look.

[Empties] #17

Hi pandas,

how are you doing? I'm trying to survive this awful heat here in Japan. Seriously, I was not made for this weather. That's also why I didn't really get to blog recently. When I wasn't busy with studying, I was resting and doing my best to avoid a heat stroke.
And how to get back into blogger better than posting some empties. I'm going back to Germany for vacation soon and plan to move afterwards so I really, really need to clean my stuff, get rid of things I don't need anymore and start using up products.

[Review] Etude House Blend 4 Eyes Dry Rose

Hi pandas,

how are you doing? Summer started for good in Japan this week and I am basically melting. Seriously, I am not good with heat...how do you guys deal with summer heat and humidity?

Despite this summer heat I am still trying to finally catch up on all the reviews I wanted to write.
So here is one about a beautiful palette from Etude House

What they say:
Display varied eye makeup with four colors. The eye shadow palette which makes deep looking eyes with an outstanding contact force. It gets deeper tone as you repaint, and blending will make a more natural display.

[Review] Tonymoly BCDation Cushion +

Hi pandas,

How are you doing?
I should be working on some term papers but err...well...you know, priorities XD
So in order to get some distraction and take a break I will now write about my newest cushion.

What they say:
A multitasking formula that delivers broad-spectrum SPF protection, deep hydration, and complete coverage.

[Empties] #16

Hiiiiiiii,

Oh my God, it feels like forever that I have spoken to you. Well. It has been quite long, hasn't it.
University has been keeping me quite busy. Like reading articles and preparing presentations and stuff until 1 or 2 am busy. On top of that I have started swimming twice a week. While it is awesome to be back at working out (and stare at really hot dudes while doing so XD) it is also exhausting. So blogging suffered quite a it. I do hope I will find time to blog regularly again from now on.

To get back into the blogging world, I have another empties entry for you. This is from April and May...I may have skipped March but...oh well. Better than nothing, right ^^

[Review] Etude House Beauty Shot Face Blur

Hello pandas,

How are you doing? Can you imagine, the first week of March is already over. Time is flying so fast.
In lack of interesting stuff to tell you, on to the review =D

What they say:
This lightweight cream provides multi-blurring effects for instantly refined and smooth skin. Skin's texture is smoothed; pores minimized and complexion brightened.

[Empties] #15

Hi pandas,

How are you doing? Can you believe it, another month is already over again. It just feels like yesterday that 2016 started and here we are, 1/6 is already over again. I feel like saying this in almost every post but where the hell is time going to? Sometimes I wish I could just yell "stoooop" and slow down. Well, enough of my more or less philosophical thoughts, here are the empties for February:

[Review] Secret Key Dragon Bloody Essence

Hi pandas,

How are you doing? I'm currently enjoying my spring vacation with a lot of sleeping. A looot of sleeping XD Hopefully I'll be able to do some exciting sight-seeing and travelling as well until university starts again.

Now onto a new review

What they say:
Dual functional essence which helps to tonify the skin.
+ Whitening
It contains the whitening ingredient, niacinamide so it makes your skin brightening.
