ya, i couldn't wait any longer, i bought Mac's blusher! And also Shu's eye liner pencil and mascara oredi....

of all that i used, I like the Haba's powder face, light emulsion (their base) and powdery foundation!

oh really? haha! i have the intention to buy lancome's spring collection blusher.. the one with a butterfly or bow in it. looks really pretty. haha!

mac stuffs eh.. i am not a fan of MAC.. i don't know.. i used their foundation before.. tend to break me out.

Hi,

just wondering if there is any promo available from HABA? Am thinking of getting some products from them.

the best is to wait til march. hehe!

oatkrunch, are you using Squa Cleansing for make up removal?

Btw, still waiting for their new shipping =.=

you mean right now? no, i am using hada labo's water based make up removal now. just came into malaysia, so tried it. lol

as for squa cleansing, yes, i have used it before. have used few bottles of it. haha!

i like it now better.. i mean their new version as when i first started, their old formulation has to do it with dry hands and face but now with their new formulation, you can do it either with wet or dry.. but i am still doing it the dry way. lol

however, i think i do prefer using their micro cleansing force. their new (but not so new) make up removal. it's water based. for those who dislike oil based, this is water based gel.

but then, i find this micro cleansing takes longer time to remove my water proof mascara than the cleansing oil. same goes to this water based hada labo i am using. i guess oil based does remove water proof mascara much faster and effectively than water based. wheneve ri am done using squa cleansing, my face felt tight after a while while micro cleansing doesn't give me that problem.

hope this help.

as for their shipping.. hehe.. before i go to singapore, i did ask their beauty consultant and they said the shipping is on the way. sometimes custom clearance needs a long time? anyway, i have bought majolica majorca new spring limited edition blusher. love their peach color. just bought one as that color flatter my skin color the most. lol

the only blusher i wanna buy from haba normal edition is their sugar pink as that pink is really light; however i find it kinda chalky.. but that was when i first used it many years ago when they just got into malaysia.

now would like to try it again. i bought foggy pink too (their new color) but it doesn't look good on my skin color. to orangy, so i gave it to my friend who has tanner skin as it looks better on her. hehe!

their new limited edition of cheek puff.. wish i could get it too but malaysia doesn't have it. sigh~! here is the pic of it. i remember previously haba had a limited edition marble cheek puff and i bought that. love it and am still having it now. it's peachy-pink color. they had another which is reddish pink marble puff but malaysia didn't bring in that one.

this is a pic of their new ltd ed cheek puff



btw, they have new ltd ed body care stuffs such as heel lotion and neck and decollete cream. few years ago, they had neck and decollete cream and i bought it and tried.. like it. but now i am not sure if malaysia is going to bring it in. sigh.

today i went isetan, gardens to get the squa powder wash, according to the sales assistant - haba is going to have new packaging for their eye shadow (and other make up stuff), therefore, currently no stock....duno true onot.....

and because i can't wait any longer, i started buying from shu uemora - make up products, so far ok

shu uemura is with good quality, no doubt about it but HABA's main selling point is without harsh chemical; hence you can use their cosmetics without any worries.

and for the new packaging, yes it's true because japan has the new packaging ages ago! i love the new packaging. and they are going to bring in a few new stuffs too. for example, the lip gloss tube. malaysia doesn't have it while japan has it a while ago. i prefer the new packaging. very sleek and thinner. can't wait for that!

btw, just to let you know HABA is going to have promo in april at isetan klcc. they will be having their japan's beauty consultant, chieko hiromori here to demonstrate haba's products to consumers too. i'll be participating as well. haha!

also, they will be having some sets or some promo like buy up to certain amount, you will get a free set of something for free, that kind of promo.

can i noe when is d april promo??
r u sure??

not sure when are they going to start april promo. am i sure of what? you mean is there going to be april promo or are they going to have their japanese beauty consultant over?

i am sure of both as that's what the staffs told me. as for what kind of promo they are having, they aren't sure yet because right now, they are still running on their march promo.

HABA - Metrojaya, Midvalley just called me - their new stocks have arrived!!!

stock in KLCC already arrived since yesterday but they don't have the time to put it up on shelf yet. hehe! however, just to let you know that all new arrivals cosmetics have increased their prices. so much more expensive! >_<

oatkrunch, HABA has one type of sun block only? I will be getting one soon, but I fear that I might get the wrong one....if there's more than one, can you recommend one of them to me? my skin is generally oily

basically, HABA has only 1 regular sunscreen, which is UV cut 25. they have another, which is UV cut 37 but if i am not mistaken, UV cut 37 is limited edition. they might still have it.. just go and ask for it.

UV cut 25 is regular item, selling at RM128 for 30g. there are no difference between the above mentioned 2. the only difference is just the SPF number. if you need longer protection, just go for 37.

they used to have a sunscreen stick but they have discontinued that years ago.

their sunscreen is water and oil resistant. it contains squalane and citrulline to prevent dryness while giving you the protection. i haven't used their sunblock before but i have tested it out on my hands using their tester. haha! it's smooth upon application. not sticky or oily at all.

ohh forgot to add, they have launched a daily sunscreen with SPF15 before but i guess that's limited edition as well?

anyway, their sunscreen is for all skin type.

thanks....

wat sunscreen brand are you using?

make up artist suggest me to go for clarins', but i am just wondering if i should stick to HABA....

i have tried many brands of sunblock out there. haha! mostly drug stores brand though.

i have tried kawaii tokyo, biore UV cut (white bottle), neutrogena (but not their new helio formula), and now i am still using KISS ME but it's finishing soon. wanna try biore aqua after this. i am using biore aqua sunblock (for body) and i love the water gel texture. not sticky at all!! can't wait to try the face soon.

my friend likes HABA's sunblock as she said it's a good make up base as well.

haba has a facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/habamalaysia?sk=wall

join to get news......anyway, if you are a member, they usually sms and email you for updates...


btw, i have not gotten any new products from haba for some time......

If you dont want to spend too much & still you have problem then try Neem Vegicaps. Neem Vegicaps are effective in killing the bacteria, which is a cause for Acne. Some studies suggest that Neem is not only treat acne but be soothing for the inflammation. Neem is also good for the skin in general.

yeah the staffs told me too and so i went to search for it and "like" the page but they hardly update it anyway. sigh.. i almost forgotten that i have actually a fan of their page. lol.

am now using Kanebo white impress lotion and moisturizer. once i am done, which will be very soon because it's a travel size, i will be using dr cilabo. i really like their acne serum per samples that i have used, their bb cream. and since they are having special disc for members, i will pick up a few products from this brand to try out.

as for haba, i am now using their neck and decollete cream. i loveeeeee it. it's their limited edition stuff. but malaysia haba doesn't have it.. or yet.. they aren't sure are they going to bring it in.. i got it from singapore haba.

I also heard there is a good review on this
