Do you get those days where you need to just pop into a drugstore to pick up some essentials?
Not exactly makeup but beauty related nonetheless?
I usually use the Acne patches from 3M but a few bloggers lady reccomended this patch so i thought i try it out. Will let you guys know how it fares!! ^^
Also picked up some cleansing oil from Cyber Colors [brand sold in Sasa] <--i am not familiar with this brand.
Yes its cleansing oil. i dont tend to like cleansing oil. I have tried the ones from shu uemura, orbis, dhc and fancl but i didnt like any of them. So why did i buy this?
Its GREENTEA and lavender so i bought it for my special tea buddy. [You know who you are]
Yes i really like green tea but i dont think i am alone.
And since i am travelling soon, i bought yet another eyelash curler just for that purpose.
I know a lot of you like this one so i decided to try it out.
I bought a different eyelash curler from Koji before but it doesnt travel well [not compact]
My usual eyelash curler is from Shu uemura and i looove it!!
And a travelling kit cant be without tweezers
or maybe its just me XD i really cant stand it when my eyebrows arent maintained.
In my last post, i posted some magazines i bought recently and a lot of you guys asked if i could post scans so here are a few from Ceci..[Hongkong edition, Feb issue]
Washoff masks
Removing Neck Wrinkles
The massage method
This section was so cute. Ways to reuse your makeup/beauty packaging
But that would mean we have to hit pan on stuff heeheee
In other news, i bought a new cup. I loooove big cups.
I like the fact its clear and made of glass. I dont like plastic cups.
And i spotted something odd whilst out shopping today..
Yes its Hello Kitty MAHJONG TILES.
They are actually really pretty arent they?
But i dont know how to play mahjong anyway haha
Definetely one of the stranger Hello Kitty things i have seen.
Had this yummy dish at a store named..Honeymoon
Its coconut milk with mango and black glutinous rice. I definetely want to eat it again.
Unrelated to food but super thanks to everyone on their lovely compliments regarding my iphone case blinging project.Its not complete as i have run out of crystals. So until i buy more, i cant finish it.
But now i am thinking of blinging out my headphones XD
I cant bling out the whole thing as the white plastic bit would scrape some off.
So should i still bling out just the star part or not bother at all?
Maybe i will do it after Chinese New Year.
Afterall, chinese new year is also Valentine’s Day. Aka Red Day in Tokyo
Longtime readers of my blog will remember the massive number of posts i made in regards to my red day celebrations last year [i think its was over 3 posts?] . I wont be doing as much this year but i am going to doing something regardless.
Will post my results eventually. ^^
Sorry my post this week is a bit late [i know i usually post on monday] but things got ahead of me and i didnt get round to doing it till today
XOXO
Yumeko
p.s any Shinee fans? they are in Hong Kong this week on the 12th of February! [Friday]
p.p.s what about fans of We Got Married? it seems Gain and Jo Kwon will be in Hong Kong this week for Chinese New Year!!!! No dont think i will be stalking them but i am curious to know what they get up to!
On the last day of 2009, i relocated from Tokyo Japan to Hong Kong. Join me as i discover what this new city has to offer!!
Are you sure you won’t be stalking Kwonnie?? :b I finally caught up to the latest ep of WGM lol
AH..wish I could read those simplified Chinese in that magazine! Really wanna know how they reuse those packaging! && I spotted those Hello Kitty MJ set somewhere else too! So cute!
I like that little twin star bowl…I had a tiny one made of porcelain when I was little, it makes me smile everytime I eat rice with it…
wahahha! those are some bling bling hello kitty mah jong! Would love to own one just because it’s so darn cute.
Nice! I bought a bunch of Asian face washes and moisturizers from Sasa but after receiving them, I’m scared to use them because what if they’re whitening products (but they never said that on the site/package!!). I checked to make sure when I ordered but I’m still scared. Lol.
lemme know if i can help translare anything <3
Wow, HK mahjong tiles! That’s a first for me too! I don’t know how to play either..And nice drugstore haul! Are the 3M acne patches any good? What do they actually do? Maybe I should get some!
And I really want to visit Honeymoon (we have it in Shanghai too), I think it’s a chain desert restaurant? I don’t have anyone to go with though, and its sad to eat desserts alone… D=
I’m drooling over the mango in coconut!
u gotta come here and have some with me!! then we can go bead/jewellery parts shopping heehee
LMAO at the Hello Kitty Majong! That is just so awesome!! Love the shape of your new tweezers too! I’m sad I lost my EcoTools one again so I bought another, but it’s not the same… I think the quality per batch varies a bit so I’m on the hunt for a new one again. =/
Love the Little Twin Stars mug and yes I totally think you should bling out the star!
Can’t wait to read about your CNY festivities.
I wish we could do a swap! i am so in love with those items and i live nowhere near those asian stores. I would ove to try those acne patches some day. PLEASE let me know if we can do a swap!
ive really gotten into shinee lately bc they’re on ‘Hello Baby’. i soo wish i could go see them! Also jokwon and gain!!! Jokwons hilarious! and i love 2am’s new song! i really need to visit hong kong soon
if u visit hk, do let me know <3
Yay! I like walking at drugstores too
May be find something new 
Nice haul! That tweezers looks so good!
i checked out ceci mag after I saw your post about it…at a korean bookstore in NYC & they are selling it for $24..what a rip off…I so love Little twin star & that cup is so cute…..really?shinee’s going to be in HK?are you going to stalk them???:D
I pick up essentials like tweezers, cotton pads etc at drug stores, but I usually also end up coming out with makeup, haha. Like this weekend, I went to the post office (in a drug store) to mail some packages and the Maybelline Eye Studio quads were on sale so I picked up the last 3 I didn’t have… and a couple of NYX lippies as they were 30% off.
I just picked up the same Cettua patches from Sasa!! I am almost out of the NEXCARE patches and it is not worth ordering JUST the patches from either Adam Beauty or Sasa, so I added them when I picked up some stuff on my last order. Do let me know how they work! I’m still really impressed with the NEXCARE patches though I think I have figured out what kind of dressing they are (we have it at work but it’s meant for bigger wounds… not acne). The Cyber colours oil looks interesting… green tea smell sounds lovely. I hope it works for you!
The HK Mahjong tiles are SO CUTE. I don’t know how to play either though! My aunts and uncles on my mom’s side play it every weekend, but it looks so confusing… haha.
That dessert looks so good. We have mangoes downstairs, I’m definitely having one for breakfast!
Lol as long as it’s captivating there will be people who’ll buy it :] Great for HK collectors!
Asian magazines all look so much more interesting than American ones, or maybe I just haven’t found an interesting magazine yet
What does black glutinous rice taste like? It looks yummy but definitely very different. I don’t think I’ve seen that anywhere near where I live.
oo acne patches! DO let us know how those are xD
that mango.. oh.. drool.. :3
those tweezers look so awesome! like.. blade 3.. even though i’ve never seen it.. that’s what i imagine, haha
I use Anna Sui’s cleansing oil. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily at all and has a nice rose scent.
As someone who wears headphones a lot (real headphones not earbuds) I don’t know if I would put anything on because it hurts when hair gets caught.
I’ve seen cybercolors around HK sasa but really didn’t give them the time of the day! But it sounds great! Green tea and lavender!
Thanks for the magazine scans, oh my! i love the other ways to use the cosmetic boxes
So innovative!
HK mahjong is the cutest!!!! I wouldn’t let anyone play it for the life of me!
Ohh everyone’s getting those acne patches! One day I’ll get my hands on some!
Haha!! “Need to hit pan first!” LOL So true! But it’s always good to keep in mind! Thanks for sharing the mag! Ack HK tiles too cute!! TWINSTARS!!!
LOL you’re gonna bling out everything huh?! GL!!
And mmmm I don’t really know what Honeymoon is but it sure looks good!
*Ring A Ding Ding.. Ring A Ding Ding… So Elastic.. So Fantastic* LOL Sisnlaw is in love w/ Minho!!
nice haul! I’ve always wanted to try the Koji eyelash curler too.
Nice haul!! The cup you got is so cute & Hello Kitty mahjong looks interesting. XD
i love the shu uemura lash curler as well! ive gone through so many of them already ;p ahh.. the hello kitty mahjong set looks fancy! yet i dont know how to play as well.. hehe. mmm… honeymoon’s dessert looks yummy!! i love all those things… coconut milk, glutinous rice, and mango!
I want to learn how to play mah jong too!! Just so i can have a proper excuse to buy those cute things…they look like sweeties. om nyom nyom!
Wahhh! Yumeko-san, you’re the first person I know who doesn’t like Shu Uemura’s cleansing oil! >_< I'm really surprised you don't like it, but to each his own, I guess
Hmmm…I think you should bling out the star part, since it'll be easy to take off the crystals when you're tired of them already? XD AND OMG, SHINee'S GOING THERE!? WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO BE?! I super love SHINee! I'm a big fan! Key is my favorite member ? ? ? Are you fond of any particular member from SHINee? ^o^
XD haha i must be weird in some way heehee but it really didnt do anything for me. and i dont like the feeling of oil on my face.
i hear they are here for a fanmeeting and a showcase at the CNY event of some form.
i dont know shinee well but i kinda like onew. Key is fabulous!!!
I love mooching around drugstores, especially in other countries!
I love the HK Mahjong tiles…lol!
OMG jokwon and gain! totally wish i was there!!! i wanna see them! urgh! why is it always when i’m not in hong kong!
Wow! Great buys! I’m loving my Shu Uemura eyelash curler too, I was a little shocked at how pricey it was though. :Y
Your mix-style headphones looks awesome already! But a little bling on the black star should look quite awesome IMO.
p.s any Shinee fans? they are in Hong Kong this week on the 12th of February! [Friday]
p.p.s what about fans of We Got Married?
*raises hand for both questions* xD
I know that SHINee is going to HK but I had no idea Jo Kwon and GaIn are heading there as well! Lucky you! SHINee was in Singapore and I really wanted to go for the fansign session but there were too many people so I gave up. They’re coming again on Mar 13 to attend an all-star concert but it’s too close to Suju’s Malaysia con so I think I’ll give it a miss. Suju >>>> SHINee. LOL. Tickets are cheap though.
I remember your Red Day post! I was so inspired I decided to make chocolates for my friends. I don’t think it looked at that good but they said it tasted good (well, cos I actually just melted Meiji chocolate and remoulded them. xD) I’m gonna try Deco Pocky this year! Have you seen it? I think it’s so cute!
suju suju! take pics take pics! i love suju too!
i wish i could go!
show pics of ur deco pocky please?
LITTLE TWIN STARS!!!!! MY FAVEEEEE (**)
maybe u shd just bling the stars of your headphone…it will look classy…XD
thats wat i was thinking. a lot of ppl thought i would bling the whole thing out but i feel tats a bit too much XD
koji no.73 has been my absolute fav, and i find the band is very sturdy and doesnt split very easily, so it lasts for aagges!
oh! thanks for letting me know! i must try it out!
lol…. HK on Mahjong. is cute! but is a bit crazy!
I used to have a few of Little Twin Stars cups and threw it away when my family had to move house but I think I might need to find one soon. Too adorable! The coconut milk with mango looks really yummy, I wish there is some in Singapore.
Oooh, SHINee is coming to HK for a fanmeeting? Are you going? Last week SHINee came to Singapore and it was a total chaos haha! But I managed to attend the concert they were invited to. They sound really good live.
i dont know if i am going hahaha but i hear shinee is going back to singapore again soon! will you be going again?
oo!! that “package eco” page really caught my eye, except I can’t zoom in b/c i need to have a flickr account TT.TT and plus i cant read jap ;_; double bummer, but just from your scan i already have ideas! like the lipstick tube turned into a bobby pin holder! awesome~
its in chinese so if u read chinese, send me an email and i’ll email u a copy of the larger version.
>_< my bad~
even though i can't read chinese, i do want to see the whole page up close. please and thank you
oh my email is : honey_purin@hotmail.com
Hi Yumeko,
I like playing Mahjong. I think every household in HK has a set. It’s funny how they have a h.kitty set when most Mahjong players are the older crowd +^~^
Btw, I was looking through old posts, did you ever tell why you’re addicted to SKII?
Also, did you ever get the big pig bunny plush, or just the small one?
no i didnt review skII in the end, too many people complained they were expensive on my blog that i didnt feel like talking about it in the end. but i like it and think its worth its price ^^
i have 2 pig bunnies. one big and one small.
pig bunnies?!? O_O the ones from “you’re beautiful”? may i please ask where did you buy them? xD
gmarket.co.kr ^^
Omg, SHINee, Ga-in AND Jokwon? I envy, I’d definitely want to stalk them a little bit just to see them. xD
haha, when I’m at Daiso in Singapore? I usually go in with just cotton buds in mind, but I’ll come out with 2 boxes of falsies, one packet of paper bags, one roll of wrapping paper, a few stamps…..
Awww mango-coconut sounds like heaven!<3
Yumeko!! Guess who!! Long time no msg! How is HK treating you? Im going to HK for my wedding…. if I have time and if your free we should meet eh? Btw im back on blogger!!
congrats on your wedding ^^
I love those acne patches, they get all of the gunk out of whiteheads…gross, but true!
“Kiwi Fashion Accessories Ltd.”
on 219 Yu Chau Street in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon already has the mix-style headphones blinged out =P They bling alot of other things too and they have lots of materials for decoden, etc.! =D You could check out the headphones for an idea of how to bling them! =)
And OMG SHINEE ARE GOING TO BE IN HONGKONG?! AND GA IN?! Ahh! I’m coming on the 15th of feb! Do you know if they’ll still be around then? LOL. =(
Xx.~
thanks for the tip! i’ll check it out for sure. i prefer to do it myself cos i find the process relaxing XD
i dont know what dates those stars will be here till. i dont think shinee is there on the 15th but gain and jokwon might be?
Haha, I do see the hello kitty mahjong sets in Singapore, which I supposed orginated from Hong Kong.
So what do you use to remove your makeup??? Care to share? I have been using Fancl’s mco for the past 2 years, fell in love with it the very first time I tried. Koji eyelash curler, sounds promising. I shall go hunting in our local Sasa!!
And dessert looks yummy as always
i use biore makeup wipes and lancome bifacil [for the eye makeup ^^]
this combination works well for me heee
=OOO ive been slacking on blogging and uve moved to HONGKONG?!?! wat happened?? o_O
and yes i think u should decorate ur headphones! im getting the mix style headphones next week too :3 they are so awesome!
♥Hana♥
Visit my new blog~ http://livelaughlovecryletgo.blogspot.com
i dont know how to comment on your blog so i’ll just reply here. yes i moved to hong kong over a month ago! it was a last minute decision. i decided the 2nd last week of december to move here for work and i moved here on the 29th december 09! ^^
ooh, i definitely go to the drugstore a lot and pick up lots of non-essential beauty stuff! the trouble care patches look promising! i like the 3m patches more though, especially the new ones with heart and star shapes ^^
the article for reusing old packaging is so useful! but hehe, i guess none of us hit pan regularly
i tend to throw out my stuff once it hits pan since i have no space, but i didn’t realise they could be so useful. so now i have the urge to hoard my old packaging. argh!
and omg i really love the hello kitty mahjong tiles. they’re so cute. you should learn mahjong with your hk buddies! i’m not very good at it either but somehow it’s really fun and hilarious especially if you’re bad at it ^^
New Yeaaaars! Omedetouuuu!
Will you be doing anything for new years or just for V-day? we’re trying to put the two together by going to a new years celebration + doing something romantic along with it, haha.
ooh looking forward for the ance patch review! ^^
the koji curler looks good! hehe you gave me an idea on what to buy for my next sasa haul!
is ceci good compared to those jap magazines like mina ans sweet those?…
hehe i’m a new majong learner and i’m hooked on it!! ^^
you can do around the star and the rim?
Tammy sent me those patches – they seem to work better for me if I use it before the pimple has a head…otherwise the 3M ones get rid of all the gunk!
lol I always bring my tweezers on trips – I even have a little pair that I keep in my purse! that little twin star container is adorable
I like going to the drug stores to pick up beauty essentials in Asia. So much more cute stuff compare to what we have in the U.S. Your new twinkle star cup is too adorable. I agree, I like clear glass cup too:) The HK mahjong is pretty and looks odd at the same time. I drooling over your coconut milk with mango black rice. That’s my favorite dessert. The mango are much sweeter in HK.
Omg I love that little twin stars cup! I like big cups too
You have nice purchases. I want to eat that coconut mango rice! looks delicious
yumeko dear! its been a long time once again..love love your hauls as usual. there’s this daiso store that’s about to open in my area and whenever i pass by it i remember you
when i see jap stuff the first thing that pops in my head is yumeko dear. hehe looks like you’re enjoying your stay in HK. lucky you!
oh by the way,i saw some singaporean blogger with those Hello kitty mahjong tiles..haha wish i knew how to play though
aww thanks dear!! wow daiso is tons of fun! i hope u go there and have tons of fun!!!!
I do get those urges to run into the drugstore and buy beauty related things hahaha! Glad I’m not the only one! Great haul =)
