Mask Monday: Hayan K-Beauty Cherry Essense Mask Sheet 🍒

Two Mask Mondays in a month~ that doesn't happen too often! Hehe.

Today I wanna show you a very cute facemask from Hayan K-Beauty Skincare. Which is a mexican brand, made in Korea. It is my first time trying one of their products and it was thanks to my bestie Ceci that I knew about it cuz, she was the one who gave me this mask. We all know how much I love korean skincare.

It is the Cherry Essense Mask Sheet 🍒 with cherry essense that works as an anti-aging because of the antioxidants, it also contains vitamin A that improves the cell production for a healthy skin.


The packaging of this mask is super cute with bright colors and the smell is just delicious! It reminds me of Tutsi Pops. I could eat it! Hehe.

Honestly, the mask works really well. It comes with a lot of serum and it absorbs quickly leaving your skin super soft and bright, even on the next day. From what I read, the sheet is made of TENCEL fabric, which makes it very soft and ecofriendly. Plus, the size of the mask isn't as big as other korean mask, that's a big yay for me.

On their website you can find many more skin care products with cute packaging and they are actually pretty affordable! I'll defo buy more products in the future!

💋 Unicorn Glow Creamy Velvet Lip | Review & Swatches |

 


I recieved this lippie back in December as a gift from my bestie, Ceci and I've been wearing it often since that day. By often I mean, whenever I know I won't be wearing a mask all day long. It is from Unicorn Glow and, even tho I've seen their products, it is my first time trying them.

Unicorn Glow is a cruelty free makeup brand made in Korea and designed in New York. Checking their instagram, I found many cute and colorful products. I liked their whole "Discover your Inner Unicorn" concept. You can find their products at WalMart and Amazon.

The Creamy Velvet Lip  I recieved is in the color "01 Matte Caramel" and its a soft but beautiful peachy, nude shade, which were my favorites for a long, long time before the pandemic.

The presentation of this product is simple yet cute with the lip color on the bottle and cute silver iridescent stars on the white lid. 


 The applicator's shape makes it easy to apply the product, it kinda reminds me of the  Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in a shorter version. They both have the small loop in the middle.


Like I said, more than a caramel, it is like a peachy color that actually smells like peach! It's just so good!! It applies smoothly and the layers are thin enough to build up the color to your liking cuz even tho it is pigmented, it doesn't apply evenly. It dries kinda fast without feeling sticky or patchy and it gives your lips a soft, velvety finish.




Now I'm curious to try more products from this brand. I'm not sure what the price range is because I didn't buy this one myself but I'll defo check next time I go to walmart. I miss buying makeup!! 😭

Have you tried products from Unicorn Glow?? Let me know! 🦄

Fall scents: Marshmallow Fireside Scented Candle


 Here's another housewarming gift from my friend Ceci, it is a candle from Bath & Body Works that has a perfect scent for Fall that, surprisingly, is not pumpkin spice.

It is the Marshmallow Fireside Scented Candle that is a mix of toasted marshmallow, wood, roasted vanilla and natural essential oils. It is sweet, cozy and really strong, which I like. It fills the room with a delicious smell.

The jar is also very pretty, it looks nice as a part of your decoration. I'm slowly becoming a fan of the Bath & Body Works Products.

What other smells do you consider good for fall? Besides Pumpkin spice, of course.

🌸 Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Antibacterial Gel & Cream 🌸


Not long ago, my friend Ceci (Jun-chan!) gave me a housewarming gift in which she included some sakura goodies from Bath & Body Works. They are the Japanese Cherry Blossom PocketBac Hand Sanitizer and the Japanese Cherry Blossom Shea Butter Hand Cream.
I love everything Sakura so, these are just perfect! They have a blend of  Sakura, asian pear, mimosa petals, white jasmine & blushing sandalwood. The scent is pretty strong on both which is cool for an antibacterial gel and, the smell lasts for a long time.


Even tho the cream might look a little thick, it applies and absobs nicely, leaving your hands super soft for a long time.



They have the perfect size to carry around with you and they are really pretty to look at! I've been really loving these two.



I belive they have many more products from this line that I'd defo like to try soon. 🌸

Pretty in Pink Pressies Haul

Yesterday my Jun-chan (aka Ceci) stopped by to give me my belated bday pressie. We've been so busy lately that we didn't have the time to meet before (add to that the pandemic), so it was really nice to see her and chat even if it was for a little bit.

I wanted to share this pressies because everything matches perfectly and it's too pretty to look at. It was also a very thoughtful gift. Like she said, everything was chosen thinking about my style and the things I like.

She knows me well~
Let's start!

Everything came in this Hello Kitty makeup bag from Miniso. It is a pastel pink bag with Hello Kitty and bows in gold. I think it looks super classy! Also the material is very soft and the size is perfect to carry a lot with you.

Ceci always includes a letter in her gifts and personally, I looove letters. This time she wrote it in a Mean Girls card. How cool is it? Even the envelope had a cool desing inside. 

Next we have a Hello Kitty Travel Bottle Set. Which is actually a very useful gift, especially because I didn't have anything like it. This one is also from Miniso.

It comes with 4 bottles and a spatula (that is barely showing on the pic, hehe)

She also included so pink chocolate cuz... I JUST LOVE CHOCOLATE! These are Bon o Bon waffer strawberry chocolates.

We also have some beauty and makeup products. One is a Lip Oil that works as a hydrating lip treatment. I started using it today cuz my lips are in a terrible condition atm and it is very moisturizing and not sticky at all.

She chose mint cuz I love choco-mint. It actually has a very subtle mint scent.

Then there's a liquid eyeliner from Olé! I started noticing and trying this brand because of her, their products have a very good quality!

This eyeliner has a brush tip, which is something I haven't tried before. It's not as difficult to use as I thought it would be. I do need to practice more tho.

It is super black and I really like that!

And lastly, we have a set of makeup brushes. These are part of the Pink Panther collection from Miniso and it's kinda cool because I didn't have anything from that collection. They are baby pink with rose gold and came in that super soft, pink pouch thingy. 

And, there you have it guys, lovely goodies from the bestie. There are more hauls coming your way soon so, I really hope you enjoy this type of posts, hehehe.

Until next time~!

💋 Bissú Moisturizing Lipsticks | Review & Swatches |



 Bissú is a mexican brand with a big variety of makeup products, good quality and great prices. Even tho I've tried some of their products, I'm not super familiar with them. My bestie Ceci is tho and she included some of her products in my Advent Calendar last year. 

I have to say I've liked what I've tried so far, even tho I haven't used them as much as I wanted, since I don't wear much makeup these days cuz my face is covered with a mask most of the time.

Still, I wanna talk about these babies!

They are the Bissú Labial Humectante (moisturizing lipstick) and I got these 2 shades: #24  and #104. These are defo my favorite lipstick shades and they are perfect for an everyday look. 

#24, a peachy, nude-ish type of color




#104 is a beautiful mauve pink.



They have ingredients such as jojoba and vitamin e, to keep the lips soft and moisturized the formula is not sticky or thick at all.

These lippies are pigmented and they apply evenly, but they are not super long lasting. Which doesn't mean the durability is not good, they never claimed to be 24h lippies. And it's not bad for what you pay.

There are many colors to choose from and they also have a matte line. Even tho I like matte lipsticks, they tend to set on my lip lines and I just don't like that. That is also something I liked about these ones, they don't set on my lip lines.

All in all they are great, especially if your looking for something nice and affordable. I'd defo get more colors and I really want to get the chance to use these babies a lot more.

What was in my Advent Calendar 2020?


I had so much fun opening my Advent calendar, it was an experience that I'd love to repeat.

As I mentioned in my previous Advent Calendar post, here are all the presents I recieved. In case you missed them on my Instagram account.

✩ Day 15: Bio Scents Pleasures "Tropical Coconut" hand cream. This little cream is super moisturizing and the smell is delicious! It is not the typical coconut scent that makes you think of sunscreen. I believed it is mixed with flowers or another fruit cuz it's slightly sweet and super long lasting.


✩ Day 16: Pink Love Rush Body Mist and a Holographic Makeup Bag. The body mist is super pink and I love that! The scent of this mist is sweet and floral.

The makeup bag is super cute and holographic, with sublte pink flowers on it.


✩ Day 17: EOS Mint Garden lipbalm. Everyone knows how much I love a good lipbalm and eos is known for having a great quality. This one has mint leaves and peppermint cream, leaving your lips fresh and moisturized for a long time.


✩ Day 18: Cosmetic Lab Total Beauty Nail Polish. The presentation of this one is adorable! It is a glittery pink polish, super festive, cute and perfect for the Holidays. I also recieved some mini fruit candies!


✩ Day 19: Olé Ultra Eye Lashes Mascara. Contains mamey extract to provide hydration and nourishment to your lashes.

✩ Day 20: Burgundy scrunchie and Bissú loose eyeshadow. The loose eyeshadow is super pigmented and it's the #27. A metallic, shimmery pink. I used to find these kind of shadows a little difficult to apply but they are not using the right brush. They are also easy to blend and very longlasting. As fot the scrunchie, I think it's perfect for x-mas!

✩ Day 21: CuteSize Hello Kitty Sanitizing Gel: It doesn't have any scent to it but it's defo cute and super helpful. It has the perfect size to carry around with you. 



✩ Day 22:  Bissú Eye Primer and gummies: I have to confess, it is my first eye primer ever, haha. It is very lightweight and my first impression was pretty good. I'll have to use it a little more tho. 


✩ Day 23: Bissú Lipstick and Cosmetic Lab Nail Polish: The lippie is #-- is a beautiful creamy pink, defo the shades I love to wear. The pigmentation is great and it didn't dry my lips at all. I think it goes well with the nail polish! haha. These are seriously super cute!

✩ Day 24: Flower earrings: They are really cute and shiny. Love them!

✩ Day 25: Cat socks: I love those kinds of socks! Yes, I'm that kind of girl. Plus, everyone knows I'm a crazy cat lady.

✩ Day 26: InStudio Flower Lip Oil and a pink velvety scrunchie: Long time no lip oil! Defo 90's vibes. It is so pretty to look at and the smell reminds me of my childhood.

✩ Day 27: Cosmetic Lab Nail Polish and mini chocolate marshmallows: This time I got a metallic color. I like it because all of them go well together!!

✩ Day 28: Cosmetic Lab Nail Polish and Olé! Cute Lash transparent mascara!

✩ Day 29: Super cute gel eye patches

✩ Day 30: Bissú Lipstick and Olé brown matte liquid eyeliner: The lippie is #24 and it's a beautiful nude shade. It's been a while since I wore brown eyeliner so, I'm looking forward to try it!

✩ Day 31: Sephora Lip & cheek duo: How cute is this? I'm excited to try this cream blush. Colors are beautiful!!

So, there you have all the things I got in the Advent Calendar. I'm excited because even tho I know local brands like Bissú, I haven't tried many of their products. Now is the time to do it! 

And lastly, I'd like to give you a quick peak into what I put into Ceci's Advent Calendar. 

Let's turn this into an annual tradition! Hehe. 

Let me know if you'd like me to write a separate post about some of these products in the future.
