Wandered into my local Plaza store (Japanese drugstore chain) looking for small nic nacs to make a teen-friendly gift basket and happened upon the new Canmake Juicy Eyes display. Canmake eyeshadows are far from my favourite among the Japanese DS offerings, but the allure of messing up almost completely new makeupz is too much of a calling to ignore. Was very pleasantly surprised at how buttery soft and smooth these new shadows felt under the finger tips, and how well they glided on to the skin for swatching.

The Juicy Eyes trios contain 2 shimmery shades and one ‘Juicy coat’ shade that packs a high amount of glitter (the middle column of swatches). Each trio offers a different brown theme, and there are currently 4 palettes in the lineup; 01 is a pink toned ‘classic’ brown, 02 is a ‘happy sunny’ orange toned brown, 03 is a green toned ‘antique gold’ brown, and 04 is a nude toned ‘sweet beige’ brown.

I thought these might make a nice little addition to the gift basket, so I decided to pick one up and test out just to be sure it was worthwhile. It was a tough choice to pick one because they are all rather flattering variations of brown, but I ended up getting 03, the greeny antique gold one since that’s the least prevalent tone in my stash.

03 contains a nude beige shade with gold and green shimmer, a glittery gold center shade that lines a lime gold, and a dark olive brown with gold shimmer.

I always use my Smashbox #7 brush to try out a new eyeshadow, not because the #7 is my favourite brush, far from it. It’s because the #7 is my first proper eyeshadow brush, having either used fingers or sponge applicators before it, and I more or less learnt how to do blended eyeshadow looks on this brush, so it’s more of a habit and a good reference of a new eyeshadow’s characteristics.

Other Stuff on Da Face post sunscreen:

Rouge Bunny Rouge Original Skin Primer

Mikimoto Cosmetics Pearl Precious Essence Liquid Foundation in OC03

Makeup Forever Full Cover concealer in 6 for spots

Pupa Milano Cover Cream concealer in 06 for under eye

MUFE HD Cream Blush in Flamingo Pink #215

Dior Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum

Chantecaille Hydra Chic Lipstick in Fairy Moss

For the FOTD, I swept the nude shade which applied much more pigmented than I anticipated and leans an orange tan, then I used the darker brown shade as a thick blended liner, and finally added the glittery shade on the center of the mobile lids which adds that luminous green gold glow.

I’m very impressed with this Juicy Eyes trio. All three shades glided smoothly onto the skin. The two shimmer colour shades are well pigmented and blend beautifully. They give a high shimmer, but not at all frosty, so it’s a very flattery glow. The glitter shade also retained decide pigment and is not blaringly sparkly. While I personally would not describe the finish as juicy or wet, I do think as a powder, the result is very close to what you might get from a glittery cream or gel shadow. I'm definitely going to pick up either 01 or 02 (or both) for the gift basket, and fingers crossed I don't lose control and hoard all of them for myself.

Have you tried anything from Canmake before? Or been impressed with any drugstore offerings lately?

The big annual Taiwanese department store sales have kicked off, and I'll be making my first stop at one of my preferred dept. stores later next week.

To give you a taster of what the annual sales season is like in Taiwan, here is but one page of hundreds of similar pages of special deals and packages that are on offer from the countless dept. stores in Taiwan. I was going to do a more detailed post on how one might navigate these sales, but it was turning out to be a whole thesis, so I put a cap on that.

So today, I bring you my ‘To Buy’ shortlist, which I’ve been rigorously adding and removing items from (though sadly it's still painfully long)

THREE - Balancing Cleansing Oil

Ugh. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! It’s pricy for the amount, but this bottle has lasted me since late March (although I took a break from it for a few weeks to finish another cleanser). One pump is enough to remove all my makeup (I remove heavier eye makeup with bi-phase remover, so can’t attest to its effectiveness there) and leaves my skin soft and clean. Love the relaxing citrus and rosemary scent, and best of all, no bloody emulsifying step. Ugh.

Astalift - Jelly Aquarysta

Reviewed here. My skin still loving the heck outta this. Needs MOAR!

Sjal - Orbe Eye Contour Creme

Very very pricy eye cream, and I got this current jar during last year’s sales. It was recommended to me when I asked for an effective but light cream that won’t make my milia worse. This stuff is ORGASMSx3!!! The texture is silky light and refines my eye area so well. I’d slather this all over my face and body if I could afford it.

Omorovicza - Elemental Emulsion

Great lightweight, slightly watery moisturizing emulsion. I'm currently loving it as my nighttime moisturizer, which I then seal off with a facial oil. I think it’ll be a great day cream for the colder months ahead.

Chanel - Le Weekend de Chanel

My favourite from the resynchronizing trio, I use it every weekend and find myself with great revitalised skin to begin another new week.

Albion - Eclafutur Pre-serum

Read the wonderful review that introduced me to this at Silverkis’ World.

Relatively new addition to my routine. When I first tried it out I loathed the heavy perfume scent and was close to giving up on it. However I stuck with my generous tester which lasted me around 2 weeks, and I found with continued twice daily use, my skin has become more plump, refined and pores were tightened. This will be phasing out one of my previous favourites the Whoo Soon Hwan (review). The bottle pictured is hopefully still more than half full, but I like it enough to want to get a back up, and there is a pretty good sales package for this.

Mikimoto - All teh things!

Mikimoto might be my biggest haul counter this year. I’ve been trying out a few of their items, and I’m very impressed. MOAR please!

Clinique - Even Better Essence Lotion in the 1,2 mix for Very Dry to Dry Combi skin

Clinique’s answer to SKII’s Treatment Essence. While I do like Estee Lauder’s Micro Essence a lot, the Clinique’s version works out much cheaper (though I do think it has to be the 1,2 mix). Even though it’s half the price for a smaller bottle, I’m taking just as long to use up. Also because the 1,2 mix is so rich and thick, I think it’ll be well suited for the colder months.

Vichy -Aqualia Thermal Hydration Serum
Read a great review of this at Beauty Refelctions.
I'm a strong believer of hydrating serums, but it's always been a headache to find an affordable but effective one. Vichy has answered my wishes and I'mma gonna hoard this baby.

Body Shop - Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash

While my skin is experiencing a high point, I’m still suffering from crazy break outs on my jawline and temples, which is most likely connected to my bad eating & sleeping habits. Got so desperate at one point, I dug this travel size GWP from my Stash-of-Shit-I-Forgot-I-Had and risked drying out my skin to just clear those buggers off. To my great delight, this facial wash not only does not dry me out, it leaves my skin smooth and fresh. It doesn’t fully clear my zits away, but I think it’s helped to speed up their death.

Shamefully, I still have an ever growing Wishlist that is mostly makeups, and fingers crossed I don’t go crazy and get everything.

How do you keep your sanity during a big sales event?

FOTD feat. Diorblush in Dazzling Sun #581

*Edited. Kept calling the Dior Star the Dior Snow. Obviously not awake today. Sorry :S

Really rushed FOTD featuring the Diorblush in Dazzling Sun #581, which is a LE blusher that launched to compliment the Rouge Dior Baumes. First of all, you must read the-ever-gorgeous-Sunny's review of Rose Darling #861 and check out her link to her IG where she’s swatched all four of the LE Diorblushes.

I had no idea there was 4 new LE blushers, and the SA only showed me Dazzling Sun and Starlight (#421) a beige highligher with soft pink tones, mainly because she thinks I own a million pink blushers and probably have close dupes already (which isn't that far from the truth).

Dazzling Sun is hot burnt orange colour with very fine and subtle gold shimmer hidden within. At first glance, it’s kind of intimidating in the pan, which of course means I gotta try it on ma face!

Applied, it’s a softer apricot with more pink than I would have anticipated but it could be my redness doing some funky mojo. I do think one can easily build this up to true-to-pan goodness, and even when I use it relatively light handedly, I can see the burnt orange coming through. The subtle gold shimmer really makes this blusher glow on the cheeks, giving me this sun kissed vibe. I’m not overly familiar with the Diorblushes so I can’t state comparisons, but Dazzling Sun is very finely milled, silky soft and applies with a natural translucency.

Also testing out the recently launched Dior Star foundation. I was matched at the counter to Ivory (010) which I think is the lightest shade, but I felt it was much too light, so I was given a quite a few sachets of Ivory and Light Beige (020) to try out.

I've already bought the sponge and really love it. I find it better to use than the Real Technique's one, and it gets equal loving from me as MUFE HD Sponge which launched earlier this year in TW and immediately became my favourite sponge blender (I haven't tried the original Beauty Blender, and don't plan to).

Still haven't made up my mind about the Dior Star. It is incredibly weightless for the mid to almost full coverage you can achieve with it. The finish is beautifully natural with a healthy satine glow. However, I really need to prime and set this with some proper oil controlling voodoo if I don't want to look like an oil slick about 2~3 hours later.

The first time I tried it, I used the Rouge Bunny Rouge Original Skin primer underneath, because I've been using that primer with my current favourite foundy (Mikimoto Essence Liquid Foundation), and the Dior Star really made a bad first impression on me. It wasn't an overly humid day, but I was out and about running errands, so I suffered the head sweats. I haven't had foundation run down my neck and stain my shirt in years, but the Dior Star managed to do just that. Additionally, I found that I needed to blot and powder throughout the day because I was oiling like crazy. It's only because of Sunny's glowing review that I persevered and experimented with other primers, which is a good thing, because as long as I used an oil-controlling primer and setting powder, the Dior Star is wonderful, and deserves all the praises.  

In the FOTD I’m wearing Ivory, which is too light for me right now. Light Beige at first matches me perfectly, but my redness makes bases look oxidised, and within a few hours, Light Beige looks too dark on me. Do note that the Dior Star doesn’t actually oxidise on my skin, just my redness wreaking havoc. Ivory is great if I use some bronzer to sculpt, so if I do end up getting this, I’ll be going for Ivory.

Other tidbits:

Am trying out EL’s latest foundations this week (does the Dior Star tester look like a condom packet to you, or is my brain just sewage?)

Also tiny sneak peak of Shu Uemura’s upcoming Shurette collection for Christmas.

Christmas collections are starting to pop up, which ones have captured your lust?

We’re in the home stretch of 2014 already, time is flashing by relentlessly. It didn’t feel like I went through so much, but Day’um it looks like I’m guzzling down all these products.

Let’s begin with Boos I’m glad to be done with.

Born to Bio - Eau Tonique

Another milestone in my journey to try out as many cleansing waters/micellars as possible. Did not like this at all. It cleanses fine, but left the skin feeling sticky and slightly tight. Reminds me of Melvita's micellars, which were also a fail for me.

Too Cool for School - Egg Mousse Pack

It’s supposed to be a quickie mousse mask, but I kind of used it as a morning cleaner. Hated the smell, and left the skin feeling a little dry (good thing I didn’t bother using it as a 5 min mask).

Items that did its job, but didn’t Wow

The Body Shop - Papaya and Blueberry Shower Gels.

Got these on clearance sale, have more stocked up. Love the smell, but on it’s own I think it’s a pretty average shower gel. I add in drops of facial/body oil to counter its blah-ness.

Heyland & Whittle - Citrus & Lavender Fine Liquid Handwash

Worked well, didn’t leave my hands feeling tacky or dried out. Couldn't make out the citrus scent while using this, only the lavender, kinda sort of defeats the point.

Chacott - Cleansing Water (reviewed here)

While I do think this worked well, it stung my eyes. I’ve discovered an alternative which is even more cheaper and doesn’t sting the eyes (to be reviewed)

Whoo - Soon Hwan Essence (reviewed here)

To be honest, my skin does still like this, but I’m not all that comfortable with the ingredients and I’ve found alternatives that my skin currently adores.

Clarins - HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase

This is my first bi-phase serum and I can’t help but think I’m slathering on eye makeup remover sometimes. I think it maintained an average level of hydration on my skin, but didn’t do much to better the skin. Also it’s quite greasy on application, not one for the facial oil-phobes.

Chanel - Le Blanc Whitening Concentrate

My pimple scarring does indeed fade much faster while I used this, and the texture of the non-tacky gel fluid is nice. However, I think my skin is generally quite receptive of whitening/brightening serums, and for the price, it’s not love.

On permanent rotation/Repurchase wishlist

THREE - Balancing Cleansing Oil

Really need to get cracking with a review of this, however in short... FREAKING LOVE THIS! It’s relaxation and pampering in a bottle. When Lisa Eldridge said to use a good quality slippery cleansing oil/balm to massage your face, this would be one of my top picks.

Freshel - Pack & Massage Foam

Really like this as a morning mousse cleanser, it’s gentle and non stripping. This is a very close (and normally more affordable) dupe of my favourite mousse cleanser from Sofina Beaute, however I sometimes have Sofina points that allow me to get their cleanser cheaper, so I keep both on rotation.

HABA - VC Lotion

Anything the Driveller Kate loves, everyone needs to take notice. My sister happened to have visited Japan earlier in the year and I got her to haul me a bunch of HABA. The VC Lotion is slightly thicker and you do feel it on the skin when you apply it. I wouldn’t recommend it for oily skin types, and I didn’t love it all that much during the height of summer. It is very very good for not-crazy hot and humid weather and I do think it’s helped with the fading of my scars and sun spots. Sadly, Taiwan sells HABA at a painful markup, so unless I have friends/family visiting Japan again, this will remain at the top of the Wishlist.

Estee Lauder - ANR

I had thought I’d finally be able to cut this product out of my routine, but I’ve found my skin likes the new formulation a lot, and the few weeks I didn’t use ANR, my skin looked and felt less plump.

Chanel - Le Jour

It’s not totally love for this product, but I do find makeup applies and looks better if I’ve used this that morning. Similar products at more affordable price points (Paula’s Choice and Clinique) do not yield the same results sadly.

Chanel - Le Weekend

My favourite from the Resynchronising trio. I use this as my sole serum (but may still use a hydrating serum if I’m feeling dry) during the weekends (from Fri night to Sun night) and I can really feel and see how my skin is renewed and rejuvenated. It is highly active, so I don’t use it if I’ve used a stronger exfoliating or mask/peel.

Sofina Beaute - Daytime Brightening Lotion SPF 50+ PA++++ in the Light version

I still really like Sofina’s SPF, and this brightening version is much nicer than the normal version (flash review here) because it doesn’t leave a greasy look.

RMK - Cleansing Balm

Found a few more of these testers, still gets lots of love from me. Great for a massage too.

Mikimoto Cosmetics - Pearl Essence Moisture

The name is a little confusing, but this is actually a Pre-serum, and the two samples gave me about 10 day’s worth of testing. I definitely like more than the Soon Hwan mentioned above, and it’s not as fragrance heavy as Albion’s pre-serum, however I do think so far Albion’s has given me more obvious results. I will have to check out the price of a full bottle to decide whether this will join the rotation.

Refresh Tears - Lubricant Eye Drops

1 drop each eye morning and night.

Well, it’s off to the recycling bin for me! What’s been your most recent empty?

Etude House's latest lipstick launch arrived in Taiwan last week, and it far exceeded my expectations. The promotional pictures reminded me of Laneige’s promos (they're both part of Amore Pacific Corp.) and I had no plans of checking them out because my brain is stuck within the labyrinth of new foundation launches.

Fate of course steered me into an EH store a few days ago that had a pristine display of these new gems, so who am I to refuse?

Image from Etude House Taiwan official Line account

The website (Taiwan version) shows a lineup of 10 shades, but I only saw 9 at the store, the missing RD302 shade a plum, and they are housed in typical EH barely acceptable tacky princess packaging. I ended up picking BE102 and PK003, but I might go back and get RD301 and RD302 if that’s available.

Cliched and over dramatic as it is, it was love at first swatch. They glided onto the skin with wonderful pigmentation and buttery creaminess. Things get even better when I applied it onto my lips. The opacity is incredible in just one swipe and more importantly it really smoothes out my lips, making it look and feel more polished than before application. Because it is quite opaque, I think I’ll have to use a lip brush with these, since any wonky application straight from the tube is pretty obvious.

It wears almost weightless, and the only reason why I can tell something is there is because my lips are smoother than normal when I smoosh them together out of habit. I can’t tell if these contain fragrance or not, I think I’m picking up a very very faint rose scent, but it’s less than a whisper, and certainly doesn’t taste of anything.

My lips definitely love the feel of these more than the Laniege Lipstick Serum Intense, and shock horror the new Guerlain Kiss Kisses, as well as the Dior Rouge Baume. I want to compare these to the Nars Audacious lipsticks, but I’m still trying to decide what colour to get.

L: BE102 / C: PK003 / R: RD306 (Blooming line)

BE102 in the tube and when I first swatched, it looks like a bricky beige with mauve hints, but applied it leans quite fleshy pink on me. PK003 is a gorgeous bold bright magenta with white undertones. I never understood what white undertones meant until now. Compared to PK002 which is also a bright magenta, PK003 contains a distinctive bright whiteness to it.

Both BE102 and PK003 leave an even stain, and with PK003 you’ll want to remove with a heavy duty remover to get it all off. The second PK003 picture is with it largely blotted off (or so I thought) and my favourite  Ettusais glossy lip balm on top.

Wearing BE102

Wearing PK003

PK003 blotted, lip balmed

Price wise, these are currently EH’s highest priced lipsticks, and they are on the high end of drugstore prices, though still a good deal lower than MAC and UD lipsticks.

I also picked up a lipstick from one of their older lines, the Dear My Blooming in RD306, which looks almost black in the tube, but applies a reddened brick, simply because it is so rare to see Asian brands do such colours. The new Wish formula is definitely a huge improvement in terms of opacity, finish and comfort.

Wearing RD306

If you have access to Etude House, I highly recommend checking these out. EH also ships internationally now, so definitely consider these Dear My Wish lipsticks if you’re making an order.

What was your most recent lipstick love?

Hello!! It’s been a long while since my last post… I feel ashamed, and I have whole new admiration for those who can blog daily and manage to maintain their blogs during a trip away.

I do have a mountain of goodies I’m excited to share with ya’ll, but the weather’s been pretty damp and dark, so selfie opportunities have been rare. In the meantime please do forgive this incredibly lazy post filled with pictures. I just can’t not share how beautiful our little trip to Korea was!

We had 3 full days in Jeju Island and 1 full day in Seoul, the rest of our 6 day trip was half days of traveling and a bit of shopping. Definitely regret climbing Mt. Halla (Korea’s highest mountain) on our first day in Jeju, since after our 11 hour (yes, eleven hours) climb, we were more or less disabled the next couple of days, which meant we gave up on a few sights. There plenty more to see in Jeju, and I really hope to visit this gorgeous island again soon. It was my second time in Seoul, but my first trip was a purely shopping venture, so I’m very glad to have packed in the Palaces this time round. 
Extremely picture heavy post!

THREE La Teinte des Bijouxxx Collection for Holiday 2014

Today I'm excited to showcase THREE's holiday 2014 collection: La Teinte des Bijouxxx. It's a small collection with two sets of Shimmering Color Veil loose pigment trios. The final gift set in the collection is a three piece brush set.

Picture heavy post!

The pigment sets are housed in a simple, sleek but rather mediocre black satin box, though I'm personally happy with the lack of tacky peripherals you often find with the Japanese holiday coffrets (they try very hard to out tackify each other year on year!). The pigment tubs are very basic see through screw cap containers, each containing 0.9g of product. Do note that the net weight of the permanent lineup is 1.7g, almost double that of a single in the set, and that packaging slightly more elaborate. On net weight alone, I think you get a better deal with the permanent line up as it’s almost double the amount, but not more than double the price. However, there is an exclusive shade in each set, so it really comes down to whether you love the LE shades.

The brush set contains three weasel and horse hair brushes; a Blend In Brush Round (LE travel size), a Color Veil Brush SS (LE travel size), and an exclusive Color Veil Brush XM, as well as the exclusive black makeup pouch. They’re all flat paddle type brushes that work well with these pigments. As much as I wanted to take all three sets home, I passed on the brush set since I plan on getting the Nars holiday brush set and maybe one of the MAC ones.

Here’s a closer look at each shade by set, and some stash comparisons. You can also check out a small clip of these sparkling goodies in my IG here. To save my sanity, I've not compared them to pan based powders or liquids, though in hindsight I should have compared with a few of the Etude House Play 101 pencils (reviewed here).

Shimmering Color Veil Bijoux Box 1 contains:

Ice Blink #29 - a soft feathery snowy white with diamante effect micro glitter.

Pink Topaz Gisele #X02 (LE) - a mauve pink with pink, purple and gold micro glitter. The glitters here are the largest flecks in this set.

333 Dreamers #38 - a "deep purple that almost looks gray" with skyblue, purple, pink and silver micro glitter.

Box 1 = bottom row swatch

Even when swatching on the back of my hand, I had difficulty with Ice Blink. It’s either too ‘feathery’ and clumpy or it’s barely there at all. A flat paddle brush doesn’t help, and I have better luck patting it on with fingers. Under good indoor lighting the glitters are very pretty, very fitting to its name. Nonetheless, this one was my least favourite by far.

Pink Topaz Gisele and 333 Dreamers are exquisite. They apply great with a paddle brush and can be blended without disappearing. They are very complimentary to each other, and this set was what used on the model for the promotional pictures.

Some stash comparisons:

a. Ice Blink

b. Dior Fusion Mono in Lune #001

c. RMK Ingenious Cream & Powder Eyes in Silver Gold #01 (LE)

The Dior is much more metallic and silver, while the RMK has pink tones.

a. Pink Topaz Gisele (LE)

b. Chanel Illusion d'Ombre in New Moon #97 (LE)

c. MUFE Aqua Cream in 17

The Chanel has much more gold and silver hues, the MUFE is close in colour very little sparkle effect.

a. 333 Dreamers

b. Chanel Illusion d'Ombre in Diapason #92

c. RMK Ingenious Cream & Powder Eyes in Purple #03 (LE)

d. Armani ETK Silk in #33

e. Armani ETK Silk in #3

No real close comparisons here, 333 Dreamer is much more grey.

Shimmering Color Veil Bijoux Box 2 contains:

Wild is the Wind #33 - a “grace blue that shines like light reflecting on water” with pink and blue micro glitter.

Black Diamond Iris #X03 (LE) - stormy black grey that leans purple with a rainbow of micro glitters.

Shadowland #35 - a “brown color that is reminiscent of cocoa powder” with gold pink and green micro glitters.  

Box 2 = top row swatch

The colours in Set 2 reminds of me this year's Chanel holiday eye palette and I'm far more impressed with these than Chanel's mediocre performer. I don’t really agree with the official description of Shadowland, it’s more of a muted mustard gold to me and I don’t really see the green in there. All three pigments give me spectacular performance, and Shadowland is deceivingly pigmented, so a tiny bit goes a long way.

Some stash comparisons:

a. Wild is the Wind

b. Armani ETK Silk in #10

c. Armani ETK Silk in #35

Both the ETKs are much more silver.

a. Black Diamond Iris (LE)

b. NYX Roll On Shimmer in Onyx #04

c. Armani ETK Silk in #4

d. Dior Fusion Mono in Cosmos #281

e. Dior Fusion Mono in Aventure #081

Black Diamond Iris leans more purple than the other which are grey/black/blue based.

a. Shadowland

b. NYX Roll On Shimmer in Walnut #16

c. NYX Roll On Shimmer in Almond #11

d. MUFE Aqua Cream in #15

Shadowland probably lies in the middle of the two NYXs in terms of colour, and the MUFA is quite close in colour, but has no glitter effect.

The texture of all of them are super super fine and almost wet to the touch. Indeed the main reason I didn't get the more affordable MAC Heirloom pigment sets was because they came with pigments that was purely glitter, and big pieces at that. Would not be very fun with those piece falling into the eyes. Using a paddle brush I am able to get intense colour with all except one of the pigments (Ice Blink), thus it's possible to use these as an eyeliner.

Lasting power is about ten-ish hours on me, after which it starts dulling and the colour fades a bit. There's very minimal fallout, and certainly if I blended a bit under the lower lashes, it more or less 'hides' any fallout. Have not needed to use a primer or spritz my brushes with fixing spray. One observation made trying to hand swatch for photos, they didn't perform as well on the back of my hands, which is quite dry, so those with drier eye lids will want to use something to help adherence.

A note about the NYX Roll Ons, they’re really amazing for the price and in person, they are pretty good dupes of the Color Veils. However, they do tend to fall out, so some type of fixing spray is a must, and they blend away to nothing very easily, so dabbing is my perferred way to apply them.

Below are my first try’s with each set. Look 3 was my failed attempt to recreate the promotional picture, before remembering to check their website for the tutorial (in Japanese only)

In all honesty, I find the Shimmering Color Veil pigments to be easier to use than their 4D palettes (haven't tried the eyeshadow duos yet though), simply because the pigments worked spectacularly well with whatever random and clean brush I picked up, while the 4D palettes are a little picky with brushes... or it could just be my crappy skills.

All in all, I love both of these sets very much. If you want a more timeless, perhaps safer option, then Set 2 allows for a sparkly take on a classic grey smokey eye. If you want something warmer and slightly more colourful then the coppery purple tones in Set 1 is well worth a look.

Now that I've had a proper introduction into loose pigments, I'm eager for more! Have you tried any?

This was what I had on during Dragon Boat Festival family lunch, before I got bored. I had wanted to do an orange eye look, but my hands gained sentience and grabbed pink.

After 6 hours of wear, heavy humidity and too much sweat

I have to say Cle de Peau shadows, while relatively subdued and conservative in colour are extremely finely milled, silky buttery in texture. It applies and wears wonderfully without primer on my dry-but-soon-very-oily, prone to sweat eyelids.

Swatch from left to right

Applied as follows:

a. Soft nude pink shade all over lids with Koyudo slanted eyeshadow brush (not listed on website, and not named on brush, sorry), and center lower lash line with Chikuhodo Z-10.

b. Deeper, almost-lilac pink shade built up over center of lids and inner third corner with Chikuhodo Z-5.

c. Kept look soft by skipping a defined liner, opting instead to use the purple shade as a blended liner with Bobbi Brown Angle Eye Shadow brush, very slightly winged out, and pulled down to the outer third of the lower lash line.

d. Golden beige shade used in inner corner and under brow arch with BB Angle Eye Shadow brush and Koyudo slanted brush.

To finish, used MAC 217 dipped slightly with a. to blend the whole look together.

It was also a day of testing out Wayne Goss’s most recent tip of using mineral powder under a liquid/cream foundation. He used loose mineral powder, but my testing of compact ones (the Becca used here, and also MAC Mineralize) have proved to be incredibly successful too. I think it works even better than using setting powder before foundation, and I’m so glad I’ve found a use for my mineral powders, which have been collecting dust at the bottom of my Stash-Of-Shit-I-Regret-Buying, because mineral foundation tended to bring out my oils and emphasized my pores (I’m guessing because it’s too drying). However, the very same mineral powders works magnificently to control my oils and prolong foundation wear when used over a primer and under a non-powder base. After testing this method out for over two weeks, with different primer and foundation combinations, it’s still Love.

Wore this look outside in very humid, muggy heat for more than an hour plus a two hour lunch, and it stayed put very well, with minimal t-zone eww-dew. There was definitely more sweat than oils that day. I did have to t-zone blot at about the five hour mark, but that’s pretty impressive for me during the Taiwan summer.

My only gripe is that mineral powders, upon application, still emphasizes my pores LIKE WHOA, so I need to spend a little time evening the powder out with a sponge before applying the non-powder base.

Other products used:

Kiehl's Micro-Blur Skin Perfector

Becca Boudoir Skin Mineral Powder in Beloved (which is waaay too light for me, I must have gotten this with my winter skin tone)

Makeup Forever HD Foundation in a 6:4-ish mix of 117 and 125

Chanel Le Blanc Whitening Concealer in 10 (I lean more closer to 20, but 10 is a very good highlighter+concealer shade for me)

Cle de Peau Concealer in Beige

YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush in 9 (applied with RT stippling brush)

Nars Blush in Sex Fantasy

MUFE Sculpting Kit in 2

Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder in Transluscent

CdP Rouge Eclat Confort in 222

I’m going to jinx myself and my super adaptive skin by telling you about the following products that my skin has been loving for the last two years. Bracing myself for a future post of heartache about the end of my love affair with these babies, because my skin is a high maintenance drama queen.

I believe the so called first step essence, or priming, boosting pre-serum is relatively common in Korean makeup routines, but a select few Japanese brands also have their own versions. Technically, a facial oil (especially squalane I hear) can be used in this way as well.

Disclaimer: I’m by no means a skincare expert, and have close to zero knowledge in dermatology. I wouldn’t even be able to tell you what 99.9% of the ingredients are and do. I’m actually a very lazy skincare shopper in the sense that I don’t read the ingredients list. I test it on the back of my hands first, and if I like the texture, I’ll try to snag a sample. All reviews on this blog are my personal experience with products bought by my own money.

I use all of the following products right after cleansing, before toner. Naturally, my first reaction was ‘essences that are to be applied before toner? What is this blasphemy?’.

In the mornings I use the Soon Hwan Essence from The History of Whoo, a high-end skincare brand from the Korean conglomerate LG Corp. ‘Whoo’ means The Empress, and the brand bases itself around imperial, oriental medicinal concepts fit for royalty, that achieves a balanced Qi in one’s skin… if you’re into that.

As a ‘first step’ essence it is touted to prime the skin for skincare. Their official description gave me the WTFs, so it was probably a good thing I snagged a near 1-month generous sample of this before I bothered reading up on it. The ingredients list is long and very disconcerting and I’m really hoping deer antler is an easily accessible by-product of venison, if not then I’ll be phasing this stuff out (Look! this blog is teaching me things!). Come to think of it, since the majority of the ingredients are a Chinese medicine mix, I’ll have to think twice about resorting to Chinese medicine when the Pfizer stuff just don’t work.

The SA emphasized that this product needs to be eased into, so I began with probably a quarter of the above amount, and over time, I reached this amount that easily covers my face, neck and shoulders. It’s a light amber gel-fluid that has tiny white spherical particles that disappears on contact. My Soon Hwan is in the old packaging, which you have to slap the opening into your palms to get the thick liquid out, so it’s a good thing the new packaging now has a pump. There is an old-school perfume fragrance as well as alcohol coming through the scent, but it all goes away pretty much before I apply my next step. The ginseng in the formula is said to promote blood circulation, which supposedly helps ease water-bloatage around the face and neck, but I don’t really see or buy into that.

When I apply this my skin feels fresh and moist from it. But in all honesty, I can’t gage how much it helps the rest of my skincare to be absorbed. Midway through that 1-month trial size, I thought it was a little meh, so I more or less marked this as a no-purchase. Then I started noticing I had days of good skin and days of oil slick skin, and the latter were more often than not days I didn't use the Soon Hwan. So, if nothing else, the Soon Hwan Essence helps with skin hydration or perhaps even the effectiveness of my products in the day, but I wouldn’t say this really helps with oil control.

Since late last year, I swap the Soon Hwan with O Hui’s Cell Power No.1 essence for evenings. O Hui is also from LG Corp, and has very similar skincare steps as Whoo, but the philosophy behind O Hui is based on cell research and technology. More importantly, O Hui is priced a bit lower than Whoo, so where possible, I defer to O Hui first. The No.1 essence functions the same as the Soon Hwan, but the SA said it lacks the bloatage reducing properties of the Soon Hwan. The more I use both, the more I prefer No. 1 because my skin feels noticeably smoother with it, but I do think Soon Hwan keeps me hydrated better. There is a slight woody, caffeine smell to the No.1 which disappears very quickly. 2 ½ pumps of this thick, semi-opaque liquid is enough for my face and neck. The No.1 comes in a pump bottle, which allows for refill bottles, but I’m unsure whether refills are sold seperately since I haven’t finished my LE larger sized bottles brought from a recent trip to Seoul. Even though No.1 is cheaper than the Soon Hwan, the latter is more regularly on sale at my local counter, thus why I have kept using both.

After the Soon Hwan/No1, I follow with Astalift’s Jelly Aquarysta. Astalift is a skincare brand from Fujifilm, which sounds a little dodgy at first, but they deal with microparticle technology and one of their largest concerns on how to preserve the collagen in their films, so it’s not a stretch to see how it could apply in skincare. I seem to love skincare from tech companies... Discovered this nearly two years not because of Lisa Eldridge, but through reviews of Illamasqua’s Hydra Veil, which has a different function, but their unique texture is the same, albeit different colour.

I’m not actually all that sure if I’m using this in the right step, but I think the SA said to apply before toner, and so far, it’s been working well. I take about a pea size amount of this see-through red jelly with the provided spatula, warm it between my palms, which turns the jelly clear, then softly massage into skin. Upon application my skin feels smooth with all traces of tackiness gone once this is fully massaged into the skin, providing a wonderfully clean-feeling surface to apply the rest of my skincare. Like the Soon Hwan, I feel a big difference if I miss this step, and I’m convinced this helps a lot in containing my oils during the day, at least more so than the Soon Hwan.

Got a little taster of the whole Astalife line when I got a big set of the Jellies and was given a small sample set of all their stuff including their makeup. It’s an experience like none other. I feel its even more funky than the black algae from Givenchy. Slightly red tinged toner and jelly I can handle, but red essence and moisturizer? WEIRD! While I thought the essence was decent, ultimately I only like the Jelly, sunscreen and their base makeup line.

For awhile, I used the Aquarysta only in the day, but I read that it helps with pigmentation (due to its antioxidant properties), and I only use whitening products at night, so I thought I may as well prime the whitening products with the jelly at night too. Don’t think this alone has particularly helped with my pigmentation, but combined with whatever whitening products I’ve been using with the jelly, my pigmentation has gotten much better, and I'm not as prone to severe sun spots as I used to be (but that could be because I've upped my sunscreen amount). I don't have wrinkles on my face other than some fine lines in my eye area that is more to do with puffiness than anything else, so I'm not best suited for testing its anti-wrinkle claims, but it does give me plump, smoothed out skin in the short term.

You’re right to think that I should just stick to one of the products, and any sane person would, but so far, my skin seems to prefer I ‘doubled’, and it protests with eww-dew when I skip one. My rationality is that the Soon Hwan/No.1 helps to hydrate/moisten, and the Aquarysta helps control sebum as well as aiding against sun damage. A balanced act. My face needs it.

I have also tried (and emptied) Sulwhasoo’s First Care Activating Serum, but I don’t like it as much as the LG duo above, since it tended to leave my skin feeling parched and slightly tight. I’ve got Kose’s RC Liquid lined up to try out, but it is the most expensive per gram in an already expensive cluster of items, so I’ll have to see if it can become the super pre-serum that eviscerates my inane doubling of pre-serums.

Have you any experience with first step essences?

Last week I broke down and turned on the AC for bedtime. I had hoped to be able to last until July, but summer has fully set in in Taipei. At least I did better than last year when I cracked before the end of May. Right now, I think I’m suffering from tendrils of heat stroke, and I can’t focus on work. So let’s talk about some sweeties I took photos of over the last 3 or 4 months.

8%ice (visited the Mitsukoshi branch) is a new-ish addition to the Taipei ice cream scene. They offer a good range of fairly unique flavours in their gelato and sorbet selection and have 4 different alternating soft serve options. My favourite is the Brown Sugar with Sea Salt soft serve. It’s a very rich yet smoothly creamy soft serve and the slight saltiness really emphasizes the sweetness of the brown sugar. The green half is their signature Matcha soft serve, which is very good too, intensely matcha with a slight bitterness to it that balances well off the salted brown sugar.

This is the soft serve version of their Blackcurrant with Rose gelato which is one of my favourites. While this was delish, I still prefer the gelato version because it’s creamier in texture and flavour.

Guang-An Jie (visited the Sogo branch) is a Dou-Hua, or tofu pudding, specialist and this is their tofu sundae (it might less weird to think of it as soy milk sundae). The soft serve itself tastes pretty much like good unsweetened soy milk, and the garnishes are brown sugar syrup, Azuki beans, taro dumplings (Yu-Yuan), peanut powder covered mochi bits and a sweetened cracker. Extra retro points for using a jumbo popsicle stick as a spoon, rather than a boring old proper spoon.

Yuan Xing (visited the Uni-President Hankyu branch) is an almond tea/milk specialist that is fairly new to me, and this was my first try of their yums. I got the almond tofu/pudding with added buckwheat and a bottle of almond tea/milk. There is two types of almond pudding that I know of, one is very much like jelly/jello that can sort of be cut into straight lines and cubed, the other type is more mochi like, stickier in texture. I much prefer the latter as they tend to taste less artificial (I believe it is harder to make and thus generally those who make it use good ingredients, sadly these shops are few and far between). To my delight, Yuan Xing makes the latter kind, and the sweetness of their pudding is very gentle and not overpowering, while the almond flavour is strong but not artificial. The almond tea/milk is very good too, but a little too sweet for my liking, though the SA did warn me their original flavour is on the sweet side. My only gripe, it’s not cheap. These two added together I can more or less get a pretty good set meal at the same department store.

Perhaps Taiwan’s most famous dessert house, Ice Monster has been featured on CNN as one of the world’s top 10 desserts to try, and I certainly do think it’s a must try for anyone visiting Taipei. I’ve had Ice Monster back when it first came out with their iconic mango ice floats (back when the lines weren’t so crazy) and I have to give them props for being able to stay ahead of their competition and continuously bettering their desserts. I personally recommend the strawberry float over the mango because I like the mango floats from this place better.

Freebie black sesame seed soft serve that was given at a newly opened noodle house. Very yums, sadly I hear it won’t be on sale once the promotion is over.

Aranzi Cafe (I visited the Hankyu branch) offers delightfully cute light meals, desserts and drinks based on Aranzi Aronzo characters. This white chocolate mousse cheesecake is not up my alley, too much cream for my liking, and without a citrus hint to the overall flavour, I was gagging before I made it halfway through. Totally feel for the cute :S

What are some sweetie yummies you've had recently?

Nars Duo Eyeshadows Tropical Princess and Lost Coast, part of their Adult Swim collection for summer 2104 was released awhile back and I had been all set on only purchasing TP simply because the combination looked more unique and ‘Nars-y’, not to mention, taupe is a colour I’ve always found challenging for my warm yellow skintone.

Then I saw this gorgeous look on Liz over at Cafe Makeup and I went out the next day to purchase LC too. Let me get this out there right now: I’m suffering a bit of buyer’s regret with both.

In terms of quality of the duos taken as a whole, I think TP is much better than LC, but it’s not exactly on par with their star quality duos like Surabaya or the phenomenal Kauai from the spring collection earlier in the year.

Tropical Princess (LE) consists of a ‘neon lemon lime’ and a ‘icy lavender’, both shadows finely milled, buttery and silky in texture. Upon application, the frost shimmer green-yellow lime shade is the stand out half, with good colour payoff and uniqueness. The lavender in my view is too ‘icy’/frosted and looks closer to silver than lavender on me. Wear time is where this duo fails me, as the lime slowly fades away and by the end of the day I can only see worn in frosted silver. This was what I’ve experienced without a primer though, so perhaps it will work better with, but I’ve got loads of eyeshadows that work beautifully on my lids without primer, so this duo might become too much effort.

Lost Coast (LE) consists of the shimmery ‘golden pewter’ taupe and a matte ‘lilac snow’. The taupe leans slightly neutral nude, making it slightly easier for me to use than a true cool toned grey taupe. The texture of the taupe is soft and silky, but not as buttery as the shades in TP. The lilac shade is a little too powdery, the lilac-ness hardly showing up, pulling mostly white with a tiny hint of pink on my lids. In terms of wear time, the taupe for me is better than the lime in TP and doesn’t fade unreasonably. The lilac is decent, but Nars matte powders do tend to disappear from my lids more easily than their shimmers.

I’ve been more or less using both duos together as a sort of quad, because the two purple shades combined actually make a pretty good shimmering lilac, the taupe is a good definition/crease shade, and the lime a unique accent or detail.

Here are several quick lazy looks. Sorry for the poop-quality phone pictures, they do look more pigmented in real life. Also, I've been largely skipping on the eyeliner and mascaras because lazy.

a. LC taupe

b. LC lilac

c. TP green

d. TP lavender

Green Wings

1. Began with a good wash of d. all over lids up to brows using Smashbox Tapered Shadow brush (7)

2. Layered b, focusing on inner third of lids and blended to outward over middle third of lids using same Smashbox brush

3. Used a. to add definition, blended from outer third of lids to the socket line with Mac 217.

4. Winged the eyes with c. using Bobbi Brown Angle Eye Shadow brush

5. Opened up eye look with d. on inner corner and lower lashline with BB brush

6. Used mix of a. and c. for lower outer third liner using BB brush.

Green Wings version 2

More or less like the above, but the lime shade is blended over outer third area, and skipped using the taupe.

Purple Mischmasch

Mixed b. and d. all over lids up to brow using Smashbox 7. Then layered c. all over keeping it under socket line, and blended out with Mac 217.

Green Mischmasch

1. d. all over lids up to brows with Smashbox 7

2. b. focused on inner 2/3s and up to brows with Smashbox 7

3. c. all over outer third of lids with Smashbox and edges blended with Mac 217

4. Tiny bit of d. at inner corner and a on lower outer lash line with BB Angle brush

Now some stash comparisons. Those who have a good collection of taupes and purples, I think LC can easily be duped, and the lilac shade isn’t all that great quality anyway. As for TP, indeed I don’t have a close dupe of the lime, so I'm going to need to play around with it some more to get it to last.

(Sorry for the weird resized fuzzy quality with some of the pictures, html isn't cooperating with me today.)

The Lime

a. Nars - Tropical Princess

b. Majolica Majorca - The Little Humming Book I

c. Nars - Iceland (right)

d. Giorgio Armani - Silk/Intense Eye Shadow in Gold Hercule (32)

e. Rouge Bunny Rouge - Long-lasting Eye Shadow in Resplendent Quetzal (018)

f. Laura Mercier - Caviar Stick in Seashell

The Nars is about midway between the Armani and the RBR, and it really is an interesting mix of yellow and green.

The Purples

a. Etude House - Look at My Eyes Cafe in PP502

b. Nars - Lost Coast

c. Nars - Tropical Princess

d. Giorgio Armani - 4 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Parma (8) second shade from top

e. Makeup Forever - Aqua Cream in 54

f. Muji - Eye Color Quad in Lavender x Pink

g. Bobbi Brown - Luxe Eye Palette top right shade Pink Pearl

The LC lilac is closest in colour to the Armani which is a shimmer. The TP lavender is distinctively silver, seen in the below comparison.

a. Nars - Tropical Princess

b. Muji - bottom left pearl shade

c. Laura Mercier - Caviar Stick in Sterling

d. Giorgio Armani - Silk/Intense Eye Shadow in Silver Chaffer (35)

The Taupe

a. Nars - Lost Coast

b. Becca - Eye Colour Powder Shimmer in Lame

c. Benefit - Creaseless Cream Shadow in Skinny Jeans

d. MAC - Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Antique Diamond

e. Too Cool for School - Too Cool Art Class Eye Color in Khaki Gray (9)

f. Muji - brown taupe shade

My closest dupe of the taupe is probably the Too Cool for School Khaki Gray, which I think is much more complex and beautiful on the eyes as well as being a whole lot cheaper.

I think this is one lesson well learnt. I might have still picked up TP, but if I had shopped my stash properly I would have definitely skipped LC. Also, judging by my stash pics, it looks like I've hardly touched any of the products (a few of which applies true), so I should really go out of my comfort zone more and up the amount and pigmentation sometimes.

Have you suffered from any buyer's regret lately?

Where did all the time go? How are we half way done with 2014 already? How did I have the time to finish all this stuff? Seriously, I’m surprised with how many empties I’ve unknowingly accumulated over the last three months, though quite a number of them were already in use from last year.

Let’s begin with the Boos I’m glad to be done with.

O Hui - Eyebrow Pencil in Brown 350

In terms of pigmentation, this pencil is amazing. But that in itself is an issue for me, leading me trekking into Hokuto territory far too often. It’s real downfall is how it tends to clump around pores in that area (that are normally not visible at all), making it look like I’ve drawn a cluster of little brown dots. This did come with an extra refill, which I’m too lazy to find for the time being.

Items that did its job, but didn’t Wow

The Body Shop - Honeymania Shower Gel

I do actually like this shower gel, especially after the nightmare packaging that is L’Occitane from Q1. However, I think in terms of hydrating the skin, I think it’s pretty average, at least less so than L’Occitane ones. It gently cleanses and smells very nice, but that’s it. So in that sense, it’s pretty expensive. Having said that, I did buy a whole bunch of different scents of the shower gel during a clearance sale, so there’ll be more empties of these piling up.

Ettusais - Foamy Rich Mousse

Again, another item that I do like, and it worked very well, I just have other mousse face washes I like better. This mousse is very very dense, think extremely dense hard peak beaten eggs. The density is so much that I found it takes slightly more effort to spread on the face than other mousse washes I’ve tried.

Derm Institute - Anti-Oxidant Hydration Serum

I don’t read about this brand all that often, but my mom swears by their lifting/tightening serum so I thought I’d try them out too. This serum is slightly runny, gel-like in texture and hydrates my skin well, but compared to other serum’s I’ve tried, it doesn’t leave my face as plump and soft.

Wowed but too expensive

Sisley - Shampoo (Frequent Use)

Got this as a membership appreciation gift or something (yay to family members earning me membership points). It’s a very light, clear amber shampoo with an almost honey-like smell. Every time I used it (limited to special occasions), my hair held so much shine and bounce. I’ve never been one to think shampoo made all that much difference compared to conditioner, but this baby has proved me wrong. Sadly I nearly pooped my knickers when I went back to enquire about the price. This small bottle costs around the same as a large bottle of Aveda shampoo, which is itself very expensive.

Estee Lauder - Micro Essence

EL’s answer to SKII’s Facial Treatment Essence. I quite like EL’s version, it’s slightly more viscous than SKII’s, and lacks the funky smell. This softens and adds hydration to my skin, and works well with ANR which I apply straight after in the evenings. It also lasts ages, I got this when it launched sometime late last year in Taiwan, and used generously nightly in the weekday and twice daily in the weekends (for me, lasts more than 2 bottles of 50ml sized ANR). However, I’ve purchased Clinique’s version to try out next, simply because it’s cheaper and comes in Light or Rich options. Will likely repurchase (over SKII) if Clinique’s one does not work out.

On permanent rotation/Repurchase wishlist

RMK - Cleansing Balm

I’m surprised to be so impressed with this. I don’t use this as a makeup remover, rather as a massaging face wash. Washed off with a muslin that’s been under hot water, my face always feels so soft and pampered after (also use micellar after to ensure cleanliness). It has a rose scent that is relaxing and not overpowering (I’m not a big lover of full on rose scents). Each of these tiny samples is said to give you 2 washes, but my SA was kind enough to tell me it can easily last 4. I’ve since gone back and purchased a full size. Cleansing balms are becoming my next obsession, and I’ve a few other samples lined up to try.

Giovanni - Tea Tree Triple Treat Invigorating Shampoo

Got this at Costco dirt cheap. Recently saw it at Sasa, and bloody hells it’s more than 3 times the price, I’m going to have to double check prices of anything I’d want to buy at Sasa from now on. This is so wonderful to use during summer because it gives a slight minty, tea tree zingy feel to the scalp. It’s a very basic shampoo that cleanses well, and I use it to do a first rinse to get all the oils and dirt out of my hair, then do a 2nd wash with a scalp massaging shampoo.

EL - ANR

Finally! Finished my final bottle of the older version of ANR. I had such a big stash of this because my sister gave me her’s since she seems to have become allergic to one of the ingredients.

EL - Nutritious Radiant Vitality 2-Step Treatment

The Nutritious line might be my favourite line from EL, and this treatment is amazing for my skin. I like to use this the night before a special occasion, and my skin the next day just glows and is that little bit smoother. The 2-step treatment comprises of a white clay-like mask that is said to detox the skin that you leave on for 5-10 minutes before washing off. The 2nd step is a soft pink gel textured overnight mask that is said to infuse the skin with nutrients, and I like to enhance a generous layer with a few drops of facial oil and call it a night after massaging it in (tissuing off any excess amount that does not fully absorb).

Melvita - Intimate Hygiene Gel

So far, this has been the only product from this brand that I like. It’s very gentle, and certainly works to cut my feminine odor which can get worse in high humidity. However, I haven’t actually tried any other feminine washes, so perhaps I’ll need to broaden my horizons when I finish my little stash of this (damn sales and their package deals!)

O Hui - Cell Power No.1

Reviewed here.

Whoo - Soon Hwan Essence

Generous sample that lasted me about a month. Reviewed here.

THREE - Balancing Lotion

For me, this is a relatively rich toner that almost felt as if it included some amount of essential oils within. Probably a tad too rich for summer use for those who prefer a light toner, but because I’m in an dehydrated AC environment all day at the office, it provides a good balance (aptly named!). I adore the citrus and rosemary scent of all the the THREE skincare items I’ve tried, and this is no exception. Will look into purchasing a full size during the next round of sales or when I finish up my current toner.

Astalift - Jelly Aquarysta

Reviewed here. This is a LE big sized jar, that apparently will no longer be available. This jar lasted me at least half a year.

Chanel - Le Blanc Oil-Gel Makeup Remover

I actually really like Chanel’s oil-gel makeup removers. If you’re a little iffy about trying out an actual oil remover, then this type of texture could be something to look into. It’s lighter in feel than true oil removers, doesn’t need emulsifying, and much easier to travel with. I personally love the one in their top-of-the-line Sublimage line more (one I snag samples of whenever possible), but this is slightly cheaper, and works equally well, just doesn’t leave the skin feeling as pampered. (I’ve just heard that Clarins have something similar so might look into that before I consider repurchasing this)

Sisley - Phyto-Blanc Absolute Whitening Essence

Mentioned this in the last empties post, and 3 months on, I’ve only just recently come to the end of the final vial of the 4-vial/week treatment, mainly because I don’t use it every night since I don’t like to use more powerful whitening treatments after exfoliation for fear of irritating to skin too far. I prefer to take a big break between intense whitening treatments, so this will definitely be up for repurchasing consideration in the big annual end of year sales.

Sofina Beaute - UV Lotion (light) SPF 50+ PA++++

I have a big soft spot for Sofina’s facial sunscreens. They were my first ‘new generation’ sunscreen that is lighter in texture, not grossly greasy and didn’t leave the face looking grey. They also did their marketing right in that they emphasized their sunscreen as a moisturiser, sunscreen and primer in one, which all good sunscreens can be, but back then I was clueless and ripe for being marketed at. This is their first PA++++ sunscreen (they now have a whitening one) and compared to their PA+++ version, it is more dewy, but all current PA++++ sunscreens have that in common.

Daiso - Detergent for Puff and Sponge

If you’re in a country that has Daiso, or you know someone who has access to Daiso, and you have been searching for the one magical puff/sponge cleanser, this may be your answer. It is life changing. They’ve also now come out with a brush cleanser, which I haven’t yet had the time to purchase.

Balenciaga - Florabotanica

This has become one of my favourite scents since its launch. Not an in your face floral or gardenia, the mint within it giving it an edgier, slightly more masculine vibe.

Refresh Tears - Lubricant Eye Drops

Still my go-to drops.

All four diffuser bottles have already been reused.

Zara Home - Home Fragrance in Baies d'Amour and Fleur des Iles
Both fragrances are on the sweet fruity side. If you like Diptyque's Baies then the Zara one might also be up your alley, though it is much more in your face and slightly more artificial than Diptyque's. I personally preferred the fleur one, which was somehow more fruity to me than the baies. Sadly, I believe these were LE, and no longer available when I ventured back for a repurchase.

Muji - Interior Fragrance Oil in Herbal and Citrus
I love fruity scents for the home, especially citrusy ones. The Muji is less citrus than say L'Occitane's Verbena, and more lemongrassy, which I love for the warmer months because I think it helps repel mozzies. The Herbal (to me an almost mint lozenge scent) fragrance is one I'd normally avoid, but together with the Citrus, it's a very comforting and relaxing scent for my tiny bedside table. Sadly, these 100ml bottles evaporate as if I'm chugging them, and lasted only a little over a month. May repurchase only if it goes on sale.


Well, that's a whole load of glass and plastic I need to recycle. What do you do with all your empties?
