It's recycling week and my Sephora bag of empties have generously filled up, so it's time for Trash Talk, where I talk briefly about my recent empties from the past couple of months!
For full disclosure, three products in this post I previously received from 08.L USA for review purposes; I have already completed the reviews and just continued usage--those products will be marked with an asterisk (*). I will also include some Western products and some empties of samples.

Hello everyone. I've had a string of long weeks as of late, where the days just roll into another and I feel so tired. My escape lately has been to diligently do enough of my routine before I collapse on my bed and keep myself hydrated. It's not enough, but it feels like the bare minimum right now.
I thought I'd share my current skincare routine and how I'm enjoying the products and how they are working for me, including for my hands. I do use other products in place of those ones mentioned in this post, but these are specifically the products I stick with, time and time again.

Hello all! It's that time again where I look carefully at my empties (trash!!! recycling!!!) and give some short thoughts. Enjoy!
Hello, all! I made an Amazon order of some more AB skincare and makeup products very recently (Aug 6th) and part of it arrived just this week, on Wednesday (Aug 17). I thought I'd share what I bought and kind of...why...?
Anyway, it's that time again, where I briefly talk about my empties...primarily so I can do my recycling!! In this installment of Trash Talk, I'm sharing some quick thoughts of more than a couple products, some repurchases and some tried-and-true favourites.
Enjoy!
Hello!!!! It's time for a collective haul from Amazon, since now all my items finally arrived of this particular Amazon order (I can write this post!)!!!
I wrote in the beginning of April when I received my two tubes of snail goop, and posted my initial first impression thoughts about the CosRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser. Since then, I've used about 2/3 of the tube of the cleanser and one tube of the snail gel.
Also after much waiting, I finally got my hands on my second bottle of Hada Labo's Gokujun lotion. I had been eager to repurchase since about late-January but had been a a bit of a no-buy until now.
I ordered March 24th from Samurai Japan and it arrived safety at some point on May 10th, in a padded paper envelope bag. I paid USD$10.48--a good price, compared to Uwajimaya's usual $18 price tag--I'm uneasy about how long it takes to arrive from Japan. I'm prepared for the month, maybe even six weeks for an expected arrival for items that are shipping from Japan but when it pushes closer to eight weeks, it's not worth it for the savings.
Plus, it's a liquid and I imagine this has spend a little longer going through customs. So my advice is try order with Prime; order from a US-based seller or suck it in and buy from a local Asian market (Uwajimaya) and deal with the markup, for instant gratification.
I say all this because my skin has grown to really love Hada Labo's Gokujun lotion. I mean, really love it. SO much so that I've noticed fine lines and general dryness returning on my skin after I ran out of first bottle earlier in January, and nothing could relieve it.
I need to face it: my skin is highkey thirsting after HL!! And, I just might have a HG product in my midst! (Or mist...)

First Impressions: Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Cleanser || 【第一印象】COSRXの弱酸性グッドモーニング ジェルクレンザー 【ミニレビュー】
10:28 PM
Hello ♪ So, the quest for a new cleanser continues.....
やっほ♪ んで、もう新しいクレンザーを見つける続けるんだw・・・・・
I decided to just...go for it and finally try out Cosrx's Low pH Good Morning Cleanser that is pretty well known in the AB blogosphere. I ordered from JOLSE through Amazon and paid around USD$10.
韓国コスメのオンラインのブロゴスフィアで結構人気商品はCOSRXさんの弱酸性 グッドモーニング ジェルクレンザーってなんかやってみるとやっと買って決めたり嬉しかったわよ☆ アマゾンのJOLSEから注文しましたが１０ドルを払いました。
So far that I've found over the week I've used the cleanser, the gel cleanser is light, smells like tea tree, foams slightly but it doesn't strip the skin afterwards and make it dry. I can use it twice a day and it also doesn't bother or further exacerbate the two dry patches around my nose that I've almost managed to heal up.
今まで今週はこのクレンザーを使いますのでうるおいっぽいしっとりの感じとか、ティーツリー油の香りがあると、結構洗顔フォームもあるしクレンジングの後肌から保湿を奪わずにということを気付いた。1日に2回COSRXのクレンザーを使われると何とか鼻の回りの乾燥エリアを回復できるのは迷惑しないでさらに悪化させないクレンザーだよ！！
I haven't had a chance to pH test the cleanser yet to see if it's truly a low pH cleanser, but I will soon, in a more in depth review.
pH試験紙を使って まだpH値についてのは本当弱酸性クレンザーを見つけられないけどもうすぐ詳細なレビューでちゃんと答えますよ。

There's something so therapeutic about online shopping. Lately, I've been stocking up on some items and thought, why not do another haul post?! Part 1 is here.
I ordered from Amazon on Nov. 9th, from a variety of sellers, and I've received everything about a week to a week and a half later.
- Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask
- COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch
- Holika Holika 99% Aloe Soothing Gel
- Ichikami Herbal Hair Treatment Essence with Rice Bran by Kracie
- Kikumasamune Sake High Moisture Skin Lotion
I won both of these lovely masks from a giveaway on Instagram. Here are some pictures and a few first impression thoughts.
