Review: THREE Shimmering Color Veil and Shadow Lining Performance Eyeliner

Happy Friday! Today I'd like to give you my thoughts on THREE eye makeup products that I recently picked up. I had used their skin care products before (I liked the cleansing foam a lot), this is the first time I tried a makeup item from them and I'm pretty happy with the quality so far.

Review: SUQQU Reset Cleansing Emulsion

Suqqu added a new formula to their Reset Cleansing series! This emulsion-like milky cleanser is called 'Cleansing Spa' - means it gives you a relaxing time like spa, at home. This Reset Cleansing Emulsion came out this month and it already has some good reviews on @cosme.net.

I prefer cleansing cream/milk because I have dry to combination skin and most cleansing oils make my skin dry out. I have been using Cle de Peau Beaute's cleansing cream for a while, I like how it removes my makeup gently, but I had always been looking for a makeup remover that could better suit my skin.

Review: Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control in 21 Natural Beige

I had been curious to try cushion foundation. First I got myself the Sulwhasoo Brightening one, but I didn't really use it because the shade I picked was too pink for me. Usually I never order a foundation online since I find it difficult to choose the right shade without testing, but I couldn't find any store selling Sulwhasoo in Tokyo. I liked the ease of use of the compact and thought I should try another cushion so I ordered this 'Pore Control' type of Laneige BB Cushion - they also offer a 6-in-1 type cushion but Pore Control sounds so good. Well I googled like crazy and saw a lot of shade swatches of it before ordering and it was a perfect shopping!

Let's open the box.

Gucci Beauty Magnetic Color Shadow Quad in Rose Quartz

It's finally here! This eyeshadow had been on my wishlist since when I saw a lot of reviews on Gucci beauty products, but they aren't available in Japan yet and there are only limited ways to purchase them, like Neiman Marcus or Saks online or visit Hong Kong which has the nearest store to where I live... also the shade I wanted had been out of stock online for a while, even when I asked a friend who visit New York to purchase it for me, it was out of stock in the store. Finally, a friend of my boyfriend who works in the US got it for me and came back to Japan last week, yay. And I'm so happy that it was worth the wait.

Hakuhodo B524 Eyebrow Brush L Angled

Hakuhodo makes the best brushes in the world. Their makeup brushes had always been on my wish list and I finally made it to the flagship store in Omotesando(Aoyama) a few months ago. I think they offer the full range of brushes there, you'll definitely be overwhelmed like I was. When I was there a saleslady helped me the whole time to choose some brushes I wanted. 

Elégance Cosmetics Perfect Brow Powder in GR40

Elégance Cosmetics is a luxury makeup brand by Albion, they're well-known for their gorgeous gold packaging and their best-selling powder, La Poudre. Their brow products are also popular and I've been using the powder and the pencil for quite a while. I'm horrible at doing my brows, it's always hard but this Elégance brow powder gives a beautiful finish effortlessly.

Cosme Decorte Cellgenie Cream VT

This is my first purchase from the Cellgenie range; Cellgenie is Cosme Decorte's early anti-aging skin care range that they launched last year. I'm 25 years old and I thought it might be time for me to start using some 'anti-aging' skin care, and I heard Cellgenit is targeted to woman in mid 20 and above so I bought this moisturizer to see how it would work.

Cle de Peau Beaute Brightening Powder Foundation in O20

Now that the rainy season has come, powder foundations are my saviour. As I need to keep it light on the face, and to get ready for the hot and humid summer, I bought Cle de Peau Beaute's Brightening Powder Foundation (it's called Teint Naturel Poudre Blanc in Japan). I've been using it for 2 months and I love it.

Addiction Eyeshadows in Rigoletto and Mariage

Addiction (Addiction by Ayako) is a Japanese makeup brand that is owned by Kose, all products are directed by a New York-based Japanese makeup artist Ayako. I guess most of you are like "wow those black packaging look like Nars!" Yes, Ayako had worked as the art director for Nars.

I had heard so many good things about Addiction products, especially their eyeshadow, which has been ranked as No.1 eyeshadow for quite a long time on @cosme, Japan's largest beauty community website. So finally here are 2 of top selling shades; it was hard to pick up from 64 shades there.

Cosme Decorte Lacouture BB Cream and Loose Foundation

My first review here. Lacouture is a base makeup line from Cosme Decorte, the highest quality brand of Kose. I've always been fascinated with Cosme Decorte's skin care products, and Lacouture Loose Foundation N was the first makeup item I purchased. Also I got a sample of Lacouture Covering Base BB N then and a few days later, I was at the counter again.

First post

Hi there!
First of all, I'm sorry for my terrible English. It isn't perfect.

I am Japanese and love everything about beauty. I've been obsessed with beauty products since I was 20. The beautifully packaged cosmetics by Jill Stuart Beauty attracted me a lot and I started to collect so many makeup/skincare products. I really enjoy reading beauty blogs so I started this blog :) On this blog I will mainly feature reviews on high end cosmetics that I purchased.

I hope you enjoy it here! Thank you for taking your time to read this blog.
