Japan/LUSH haul.

As seen on my Instagram account, this will be a more in-depth haul of my Japan trip!

Clockwise from the Top Left;

1. Lily brown clutch that came free with VIVI's September issue. I couldn't resist, it was too cute! Now I'm left flipping through a magazine filled with Japanese words, only looking at clothes to hopefully get a couple of outfit ideas.

2. LUSH products (to be continued)

3. Oxford Wedges bought off a boutique in Shinjuku Street.

& then there are the results of my love for knits, a dog-printed cardigan & blue sweater from H&M, Japan and an aztec-printed sweater from another boutique in Shibuya 109.

Came across LUSH in Japan & got really, really, really excited! I've been watching LUSH hauls & reviews on youtube and we don't have a branch here in Malaysia. Walked in determined to purchase a few items.

The trouble was that everything was written in Japanese. Non of the staff on duty spoke English & we were left communicating via hand gestures. Thankfully, they knew simple & necessary words as a staff in a beauty store such as, scrubs, face masks, moisturizers etc. Came home & did a little research on the products I bought. Pictures from here on have been taken from the internet because all of my items are printed in Japanese *(:

Ocean Salt Fabe & Body Scrub. I love love love the smell of this scrub. Was deciding between the smaller tub & the bigger one because it was really pricey for a scrub but I settled for the larger tub in the end knowing that I won't be visiting a LUSH store anytime soon! It feels amazing on my skin & I can't wait to give it a full try.

My next purchase is the Love Lettuce fresh face mask. I was told by a staff that this mask was for people with dry skin but most LUSH sites recommend this product for people with oily/combination skin. Ah well, I'd use it as an exfoliator because it works perfectly in that manner! Doesn't smell too great but the results are lovely.

My last & final purchase was this gorgeous primer/highlighter. It is said to reflect light which then provides a brighter complexion. You can use it on it's own or mix it in with your daily moisturizer or foundation. A cheaper & better alternative to Benefit's High Beam, so I've heard (:

Bummed that I didn't get to buy Bath Bombs because we don't have any bath tubs here at home. Can't wait til LUSH reaches Malaysian shores! Til then, the closest one would be in Singapore. Will hopefully be updating this space regularly. Follow me on bloglovin' if you have an account (:

Here's to new beginnings.
Much love ♥
