Adambeauty Haul #2!

Kate Frame Impact Marker & Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner


Made another order at adambeauty.com because I wanted to try the Kate Frame Impact Marker. I was tired of having raccoon eyes from lining my upper waterline with the Milani Liquif'eye Metallic eyeliner pencil. Each item was $11.50 which includes shipping. I paid $2 for registered shipping and received it a week after it shipped.

This is meant to be used in the lash line, but I'm sure you can use it to line as well. I apply it by dotting it into my lash line. You do have to wait for it to dry. It smudged onto my lower eyelid when I used my makeup setting spray. It also smudged after a few hours : (.

I was getting frustrated with the liquid eyeliner I was using (pa Liquid Eye Liner from the Japanese supermarket) so I decided to try this out. It's much better than the one I was using! It was difficult to make a nice line with the pa one because it dragged my skin. This one just glides over making it easier and faster. You do have to go over a few times to get it opaque. I'm glad I bought this and would purchase it again especially at this price!

Omi Solanoveil Protect Face Milk SPF50+ PA+++

Woo finally able to blog again! I have so many things to post! First off is a sunscreen that I got back in August. I'm almost done with it so now I can review it!

Omi Solanoveil Protect Face Milk SPF50+ PA+++


I purchased this back in August from adambeauty. I bought it for $10.50 and paid $2 for shipping. It's a bit small at 40ml, but I'm at month 4 and there's a little bit left (with using it mostly everyday). The good thing about it being small is that it is travel friendly. 

This sunscreen contains hyaluronic acid and arbutin. It does not contain alcohol.

Claims:
- "light diffusing effect to cover skin imperfections"
- sweat & sebum resistant
- makeup base

It's one of those shake, milky-type sunscreens. I have to work with it fast because it's so liquidy, but it doesn't bother me that much. It kind of smells like gasoline (I don't know, I'm weird -__-), but I don't even notice the smell anymore. It has a very slick feel because of the cyclopentasiloxane. 

You can't really tell in the photo, but it does make my skin whiter. I don't mind it because I put my foundation/BB cream over it anyway. I think that it did whiten my skin over time simply due to the SPF content. To me, it wasn't that sebum and sweat resistant because my skin started to become oily after 4-5 hours and the initial application leaves an oily finish. Again I don't mind because I'm going to put a powder over everything anyway. 

I would repurchase this again because it's cheap and has a high SPF content. I was planning on trying the whitening one, but I saw that one of the ingredients was pig placenta. Yeah, not going to put pig placenta on my face -__-.

Adambeauty Haul & Review!

Made my first order from Adambeauty! I ordered on a Thursday, it shipped out the next day on Friday and I just received it today. It only took a week and shipping was only $2 for my whole order.

My items arrived safely wrapped in bubble wrap.


What I got:
IMG_1180
Sana Morning Kiss Skin Care Base SPF30 PA+++ & Omi Solanoveil Protect Face Milk SPF 50 PA+++

Pros:
-Cheap shipping
-Fast shipping
-Items not available in the U.S.

Cons:
-Items are a bit cheaper compared to other online sites, but this site uses a different conversion (for example the Sana base was listed as HK138 which converts to about $17 US, but I paid $21 for it)

I'll be trying out these two and reviewing them soon! All in all, a great first experience ordering from Adambeauty! I can't wait for my next order!
