Ebay Haul (Asian Beauty Items)

I just purchased these items from ebay. I can't wait to get and review them! 1) Fringe Styling Clip For perfect side swept look for those stubborn bangs like mine. 2) Cele-Up Hair Inserts For princess style hair. Asian version of Bumpits (which i already have). From the photo, the difference is that it's wider and has longer gripping teeth compared to Bumpits. 3. Shills Dust-it Magic Hair Powder For volumizing fine limp hair like mine. I read good reviews about this. We'll see. 4) Schwarzkopf OSiS Dust-it Mattyfying Powder Another hair volumizing powder that's cheaper than Shills Dust-it Powder. This is easier to find online than Shills. I got both to compare which is better. Check out demo video below:

Pong Pong Fen - OSiS Dust It @ Yahoo! Video

5) Nail Polish Protector To protect freshly painted nails. I wanna give props to fellow beauty blogger SUMMER for inspiring me to get items #3 and 5. ***
