Diorsnow White Skincare Set Review & Shiseido warehouse haul

Diorsnow White Skincare Set Review
Here is the review/comment of Diorsnow White Skincare Set $49.99 U.S. after one week of use.
I bought it from Facial Shop.
1. White Radiance Foam Cleanser, 50ml - pretty drying after use. Not notice any difference of whitening effect on skin.
Note: I realized that whitening product requires a long time of use to see the difference. Most of the whitening products are drying my skin. This is the second whitening/brightening cleansers I had tried. Previously, I had finished two tubes of Shiseido White Lucent Foaming cleanser and I was looking for alternatives. Then, My skin had become dull, and breaking out without using Shiseido White Lucent cleanser. I just realized that the Shiseido White Lucent Foaming cleanser works!!! I would prefer Shiseido White Lucent cleanser instead of Dior's for few reasons: 1) I already know that Shiseido's works; 2) Dior's cleanser is much drying compared to Shiseido's cleanser. My skin probably out of balance by the time I finished the tube. 3) The price of Shiseido's is much cheaper compared with Dior's.
2. White Reveal Essence,10ml - not much difference after a week. I prefer Paul and Joe's whitening serum which provides enough hydration and whitening effects.
3. White Reveal Lotion Rich 2, 50ml - it's in "rich" formula.  The texture is more viscous compared to a toner for hydrating skin.
4. White Reveal UV Shield SPF50 PA+++,30ml - This is by far the best product in this set and one of my favourite sunscreen. (the other one is Clarins). It gives the highest SPF protection among all the sunscreens that I tried. The texture feels thick, but blends very nicely on skin and gives a radiant look.It doesn't cause my skin break out, and doesn't leave any greasy feeling. It is compatible with other skincare products/makeup as well.
A Dior cosmetic bag - I love this bag! Very pretty.
Made in France

Shiseido Warehouse Sales Haul
Here is my self-controlled Shiseido warehouse haul that I had in the weekend after 2 hours line-up. I had told myself not buying any skincare/cosmetics before my Hong Kong trip. I went with my friend and I intended to pick up two Foaming cleansers and leave....oh well and ended up with the rest of the products in the pictures,and few packs of the cotton pads that are not shown in the picture.

First time skincare purchase from eSkinCareStore

This is the first skincare purchase I made on eSkinCareStore website. Here are the items that I bought:

-DDF Erase eye gel $39 CAN (reg:$60)
-FFD protective eye cream SPF 15 $40.30 CAN (reg: $62), exp:03/2010
With $10 special discount, $6.99 for shipping and total comes to $70.76 CAN.

This is totally a steal with 15% off for the products and another $10 special discount. Free shipping is free for order over $200.

I also got 2 free samples to try:
-Freeze 24-7 Instant smoother & brightener (0.5ml)
-Jurlique Soothing Herbal Recovery Gel (3ml)

The website also has a forum that beauty addicts can share their opinions about skincare/cosmetics tips. You would get another 5% discount if you have more than 50 posts on the forum.

The package was shipped on June 8, 2009 and I received on June 15, 2009. It took 5 business days for delivery which is not bad. Since the location of the company is in Vancouver, I don't have to worry about the unexpected custom fee. The company also has a U.S. location as well.

Overall, the purchase transaction on eSkinCareStore is very smooth. The price is a good steal. I would definitely come back.
