OMG When is This Sale Going to End?

If you read my last post then you would know that Missha US is having an online sale.  I got a couple of items thinking that I would be done but it's officially 8/11/12 and the sale is still showing on the site.

As I look through it I find myself wanting to try more and more items.  My main wants right now.....

Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence

It's compared to SK-II Facial Treatment Essence but at about a third of the price.  And with it being 50% off right now, it's an 83% savings.

I've never tried the SK-II so I can't really compare it.  But the product is supposed to help with brightening and fine lines which I need help with.  And my buying finger is awfully itchy with it being a mere $26.50.

But since I have no idea how my skin will be affected I'm hesitant to take the plunge.  If it doesn't work then I'm out money.  That's about 35 pork buns I could buy AND love.

Then they also have a hair line called Procure Jin Mo (shampoo, conditioner and essence) that is suppose to thicken hair and prevent hair loss.  The New Zealand site says it's KFDA approved (didn't know they were called that).  But I don't know if the formulation for the US will be the same.  Our FDA is a pain to deal with and we miss out on lots of awesome products because of it.

Missha US Website Sale

As of the publishing of this post, the sale is still going on and what I purchased is still available.

So Missha US is having a big sale.  If you like their products or have thought about trying them then this is a good time to stock up or try something new.

The sale lasts until tomorrow (8/10) so there's still time and shipping is free with $40 purchase.

So here's what I got:

Signature Limited Collection in Lovely Natural
Natural Combination
Signature Limited Collection in Lovely Natural
Lipstick in S CR304
Signature Velvet Art Shadow in Pastel Combination
Eyeshadow to the left, Signature Collection to the right
Pastel Combination
The Style Nail Polish in Beige

If you want to try the Natural Combination eye shadows or the S CR304 lipstick with the limited edition design then the Lovely Natural Collection is the only way to get it.

If you are a new customer you also get a M BB Booster to try out.  This is the full size one.

So what do I think?

I love the Signature Limited Collection and I'm so glad I got it.  The Natural Combination eye shadows are very pretty and while the pigmentation is light, it shows better than the Pastel Combination.  The S CR304 is a gorgeous coral lipstick that feels lovely on the lips.  It can be layered on for a bold look or sheered down for a more natural look.  The gloss is the perfect compliment to the lipstick.  It's not too sticky at all and it smells like rose water.

The Pastel combination offers sparkly colors but you would probably have to layer them over a darker shadow for best results.

The formula wasn't the silkiest but it did blend nicely on my skin.  If I had to do it over again I probably wouldn't get the Pastel Combination.  However, if you love sheer shadows that flash colorful sparkles then you might love it.

Nail polish in Beige
The nail polish in Beige seemed like a simple enough color that I could use for a neutral mani.  This color isn't really opaque but isn't super sheer either.  The formula dries to a shiny finish and I didn't have too much issue with patches or streaks.  Even with 4 coats I still have VNL.
