My Strange Asian Supermarket Haul

In a small corner of my city that I rarely ever find myself in, there stands an Asian supermarket. If you blink, you could miss it, but it's rather large, and filled with goodies like Asian pastries, cute tea sets, and most importantly--cosmetics. On a whim, I picked up these two items. One is a set of masks from My Beauty Diary, and the other is an Extra Pearl Cream.

This set contains seven masks. They are: hyaluronic acid, red wine, bird's nest, black pearl, arbutin, collagen, and aloe. Each mask has a different purpose, and is beneficial in some way. I tried the bird's nest mask last night and it was lovely. It smelled fresh, and moisturized my face so nicely. I rubbed the leftover serum into my arms and chest and my skin feels so soft today! I paid around $10 USD for the set, and I will definitely rebuy. More reviews on these masks to come!

The second product I picked up is this Beanne Extra Pearl Cream. I had no idea what this was for, but luckily it came with instructions!

These didn't really help much. But I have gathered that it is to be used on the face. In the instructions it says it can be used as a foundation, but that makes me apprehensive. I don't think it would be a good look on me.

The first thing I noticed is that they weren't lying when they said "pearl". This is PACKED with pearlescent particles and shimmer. It goes on very opaque and very light, and blends out easily. It has an overwhelming smell of baby powder. Like, it does not go away. I put some on my face and I could smell it all day, whether I was lounging around or walking to class. I would be hesitant to use it as a foundation because of the shimmer and strong smell, but I love it as a highlighter.

Here's my bonus candy haul from the international supermarket here! Aka things I can't get here in the U.S. 

As always, leave comments and requests!
