[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] 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)

[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] Skinfood Red Orange Makeup Finish Matte Type

Hello pandas,

how are you doing? I feel really bad for neglecting this blog again. I thought after being here for around 4 months I would be settled in but there is always more stuff coming. And it's exam season right now with a huge mountain of assignments that don't seem to get any less no matter how much I study...oh, university life -.-
Luckily I remembered that I still have some pictures from last summer from products that I have been planning to write reviews on for quite a while. So I'll try to get these up while still being buried under books =D

First off is this makeup finish spray by Skinfood

What they say:
An orange extract-infused makeup finish with oil-controlling powder thats controls excessive sebum production.

[Empties] #13

Hi pandas,

How are you doing? I hope you had a great start into 2016 and may this year bring you only joy and good things =D
It feels like ages since I've posted something here. Moving to Japan and settling in has been a lot more stressful than I thought it was. And now that I'm finally feeling like I really "arrived" here there's a lot of studying waiting for me -.-

Anyways....I wanted to get back into blogging for a while and why not start with the ever beloved empties. This time I have combined empties for November and December.

So let's get started!

I'M BACK!!! feat. the "holy sh** I'm back in Japan"-haul

Hi Pandas,

How are you doing? I have been away for a while but I have good excuses: we were visiting my relatives in France and just a few days after coming back I was already in the plane to Japan. Upon arriving a lot of procedures and applications and registrations waited for me. And it's still not over. I still need to adjust to my new univesity and my boyfriend decided that he doesn't wanna be my boyfriend anymore after living together for just 2 days. So I'm single again and apartment hunting on top of that...it' still chaos basically.

But of course I also had quite a few chances to go shopping so far (Japan is insanely dangerous for my wallet...but who needs food if you can have pretty cosmetics, right. Right?...) and I thought, why not share that glory with you =D
(Please excuse the potato quality pictures)

Time is flying as always and another month is already over again. But that also means that it's time for an empties post =D

Summer Must-haves

Hi Pandas,

How are you doing? I'm just starting a week-end in Düssedorf, the city where I studied. It will be the last time for me visiting this city before I leave for Japan. So strange, I have so many memories here and I truly love this place.
Since I have some time to kill before meeting a friend I thought "why not relax at Starbucks and type something for my blog, while watching the city wake up?!".

So, depending on where you live, summer has officially started. Actually already for a while. In Germany, summer is strange as always. Some days are unbearably hot (aircons seem to be almost non-existant in this country....) and others feel much more like a rainy fall day than summer.

I've actually wanted to write this entry for quite a while and I'm probably almost too late but those unbearbly hot days combined with having a room on the 3rd floor without any air-conditioning and 8-9 hours working days have made me quite lazy.
Maybe (hopefully?) this post can be still useful to some nevertheless, even if it's just for next summer.

[Empties] #11

Hi pandas,

How are you doing? Can you believe it, July is already over...once again another month is over. Half of 2015 is already over. Time is flying by. I think I'm saying that in every empties post but these posts make me truly realize how fast time is passing.
This also means that I have less than 2 months left in Germany...

Anyways, here are my empties for this month:

[Review] Too Cool For School Pumpkin Sleeping Pack

Hi pandas,

How are you doing?
The weather here in South-Germany decided to freak out and now it almost feels like rainy season/summer in Japan. Saying, I'm busy wiping sweat off my skin 24/7. This also made my skin freak out and break out -.-

This also means that I feel so lazy and unwilling to do anything...including writing this blog. Because my laptop means even more heat...

Nevertheless, I kicked my own ass, and now I'm writing a review about this little guy here:

What they say:
A sleeping face pack with natural enzymes which removes dead skin cells and provides nutrition at the same time it also renews the skin in the gentlest way.
