Albion

Hey guys! I was a part-time assistant at a local variety shop and today was my last day! YEAHHH! So I was kind of in a shopping mood and I bought a few little things I'd like to share! Most of the products I buy are from Japan so sorry to all of you international peeps out there.

First off is from Albion. Albion is on the high-end kind and yes, I splurged. 

But I love their products :)

I couldn't help myself....I need a good toner and moisturizer for my acne-prone skin! And even though its a little expensive, I definately think it's worth the splurge! (I'm a student and spending about $100 on a facial product is a little tight for me) I actually believe that these guys made my skin a little clear! Although I hear people say that the toner is a little on the smelly side (I like it, however) One thing I don't like about the moisturizer is that when I finished using my last one, I opened the bottle to see if there would be a little more left. And inside the bottle, there was some sort of a plastic bag inside. I don't know how to explain it but the moisturizer wasn't in the bottle. It was inside a plastic bag and then inside a bottle. So I felt a little ripped-off...I feel that more moisturizer could be inside the bottle if it weren't for the plastic bag.

From left: Exage Moisture Milk II 110g (3000 yen/ about $30) and Albion Skin Conditioner Essential  165mL (5000 yen/ about $50)

Both great products though, nontheless! The sales girl said that these only last 2 weeks but for me it last me a month and a half.

And finally, Mentholatum Medicated Lip Stick XD! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! I tried a lot of different lip balm products like DHC, Neutrogena, and so on and so forth but this is IT! I always come back to this! It's cheap, moisturizes, and does the job! I highly recommend it! Love it! 200 yen ($2) and does everything that I love about a lip balm!
