A while ago, I went to Japan and bought a bunch of stuff. One of the things that caught my eye was a tall bottle of clear jelly (gel) by Hada Labo. I had never heard of it, so of course I had to get it.
Hada Labo: Gokujyun Perfect UV Gel
This is my current favorite sunscreen: Hada Labo’s Gokujyun Perfect UV Gel. It’s SPF 50+ PA++++, plenty of sun protection!
The Saem: Kissholic Lipstick M in BR01 Sand Wash
I have been on the hunt for the MLBB (my lips but better) look here in South Korea, and it’s been impossible until recently. Here’s a natural-looking lip color from The Saem, and I’m happy with it … well, kind of.
Nature Republic: Green Tea Pore Powder
Move over, other tinted sebum control powders, you’ve just been unseated. Nature Republic’s Green Tea Pore Powder is the new #1 tinted powder. I’m surprised it took me this long to find it. (For loose white/translucent powder, Innisfree’s Mineral Powder is still #1.)
Shiseido Senka: Speedy Perfect Whip Foam
I ended up with a bottle of Shiseido Senka’s Speedy Perfect Whip Foam because I just knew I had one more bottle of CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser somewhere. And because I was pretty sure I had it, I obviously didn’t bother checking until it was too late.
Pony Effect’s magnetic brush line, and Rae Morris
Pony Effect has two preview videos of a set of magnetic brushes and two metal brush holders: a frame, and a panel. It looks super cool. But is it a coincidence, a ripoff, or a license of the Rae Morris magnetic line? I don’t know, there’s no answers anywhere, but this is all veryyy interesting.
Nature Republic: Jeju Sparkling Cleansing Tissue
This comes from Nature Republic’s Jeju Sparkling line, and it’s really good! It features carbonic (sparkling) water from the Sanbang Mountain Hot Springs on Jeju Island.
Skinfood: Black Sugar Honey Mask Wash Off
Here’s a twist on Skinfood’s Black Sugar Mask: the Black Sugar Honey Mask! This has been out for a while, but I finally got around to trying it out myself.
A’PIEU x Doraemon Air Fit Cushion #23
I haven’t posted in so long! Life got crazy and I kept putting things off, but I’m going to try to be more productive in EVERYTHING in LIFE now!
I recently got seduced into buying A’Pieu’s Doraemon edition of their Air-Fit Cushion. Loads of kids in Asia (and other Asian and non-Asian kids of all ages, everywhere!) grow up with Doraemon, and he’s just kind of amazing. In Doraemon manga and anime, technology fixes everything!
