Yes! All my hauls have arrived! This is basically an image post, FYI.

What is this. Wasn't this supposed to be the Beau Zon Eve Lash Essence?! I have never heard of this brand before.

I have contacted the seller, and apparently this is what they are selling now, and the reviews that show the Beau Zon Eve Lash Essence are of the previous lash serum they were selling. A bit angry at this but I decided to just let it go as this is a very cheap product. The Professional Ruiah Panethanol Essence Mascara is supposed to be the reformulation so I hope it is better, not worse.

For some reason, Tosowoong was the only one who gave me samples. They also sent me a brochure of their products, which I think is really interesting! Here are some of the highlights.

 So, TOSOWOONG has a total of 6 cleansing products. What really caught my eye was their Enzyme Powder Wash, as it has a pH of 5.5! As our skin's natural barrier is acidic, it is of course best to use acidic products so as to help protect it. Our skin will go up to alkaline pH levels because of the waste materials from acne causing Staphylococcus bacteria and other factors, which is a good growing environment for more Staph. spp. It looks like this may be going on my wish list!

This is really interesting to me because it discloses how much of each product has the active ingredient! First of all, I don't really trust the percentages they put there - for example, 75% of Camellia water. Do they mean that the entire product is at least 75% Camellia water? Or do they mean that the water is mixed with Camellia water in 1:3 ratio and the other ingredients are not counted? Or can they also mean that only 75% of the Camellia water actually has a significant amount of Camellia extract and the other 25% has some other extracts?

 

But the most telling is the Bee Venom and Syn-Ake line. 10ppm(parts per million) means that there is 10 parts per 1,000,000 parts, ten parts in 10⁶, 1/100,000 * 100% = 0.001%. Is this a high or low percentage for been venom and syn-ake products? I am not sure, but at least they are transparent about it. 

March Haul is over, and I already hauled in April, so I am now officially going on a no-buy!
