Shiseido White Lucent Line (New Haul!)

For those of you who hadn't seen this yet, I uploaded my first haul video :) Click Here to Watch

At first I couldn't decide if I wanted to include my current skin care products.  Ultimately I decided not to because I didn't have the packages to show you lol.  But for the past couple of weeks I've been using Shiseido's White Lucent skin care line...all of which were samples!! The ladies at the Shiseido Boutiques in Maryland are so sweet.  Each time I go in they give me a handfull.  And the 7mL bottles I recieved a set of at one point lasted me a whole week by themselves.  Actually, I still have some leftover emulsion and a squeeze left of the face wash.

While I really love the results I saw with the White Lucent line, I'm probably never going to use it again.  In most places, the regular sized bottles of each product retails for about $42.  For me, that's a bit pricey.  Even though my skin ditched that usual tight and itchy feeling I have with most American products, there are several cheaper options in the Asian skin care market. For those of you unfamiliar with Asian skin care and how it differs from American skin care, I will be posting a comparison veryyy soon :) The white lucent line is meant to lighten and even your natural skin tone.  Since I'm already using a lightening serum for my sun spots, I figured I'd give this a go.  Man did my skin glow after using these products!  Everything smelled very nicely too...except for the day cream.  If I didn't have about a week worth of it for free, I wouldn't have used this product at all.  It smells like..burnt graham crackers?  That's the first thing that came to mind even though I'm not sure I've even smelled that before.  Not so pleasant. And unlike the other pretty scents in this line, the day cream's smell sticks with you the whole day.

Overall I'd give this line about three out of five stars.  Three because of the high price and wicked smelling day cream.

On to test out Hadalabo's Hyaluronic skin care.  I'm actually sitting in the living room right now waiting for it to be dropped off at my door :) I'm definitely excited to move on to this brand, as it has wild reviews.  I'll get back to you soon!
