Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
Recently, I have been drawn to warm-toned blushers with slightly more muted and dustier hues that go with some of my eyeshadow palettes with very warm-toned shades (such as Visée’s Glossy Rich Eyes in PK-3 Burgundy and SUQQU’s Designing Color Eyes in 128 Hiakari). One of the blushers I have been experimenting with is Chanel‘s Joues Contraste in 370 Élégance.

Turquoise is one of my favorite colors. (Have a look at this post from my A Splash of Color series.) It is dynamic, but I also find it calming at the same time. Today I will be sharing with you my thoughts on Laura Mercier‘s Caviar Stick Eye Colour in 2011 Turquoise, which is the latest addition to my collection of turquoise eyeshadows.

In 2017, I talked about Celvoke, a Japanese beauty brand launched in 2016. (See the post here.) I was keen to try something from the brand, and I decided to go for Comfy Blush in 01 Pink. Today I will be sharing my thoughts on it in my Stash Debut series.

One of Excel‘s most popular items is Powder & Pencil Eyebrow EX. Even though I tried NewBorn’s W Brow EX N in B2 Grayish Brown (and both NewBorn and Excel are makeup lines from Sana), I still decided to get the powder-pencil-brush trio from Excel. I went for PD05 Grayish Brown, and today I will be sharing my thoughts on it.

Kanebo Coffret d’Or has been releasing quite colorful eyeshadows in the last few seasons. However, just before that, the line went with the dusty-color trend in Japan (which I briefly talked about in my review of Kate’s Vintage Mode Eyes in BU-1) and released the Mysterious Force Eyes range. Today I will be sharing my thoughts on 01 Golden Modern.

I have been generally happy with my skincare routine in the past few years. However, occasionally and mostly out of curiosity, I want to try something different. It would usually be a product that is from a brand/line I am interested in and doesn’t have any obvious skin irritant. One such product that I have been using is Hadalabo‘s Gokujyun Premium Lotion.

Kao Sofina Primavista Ange was launched in 2013 as a sub-line of Primavista, and the launch lineup featured Powder Foundation UV (Long Keep). In 2018, Powder Foundation (Long Keep) was released and it replaced the original version. (The new version does not have “UV” in its name.) Even though the original version is not one of my favorite powder foundations, it works decently well for me. I decided to try the new version, and today I will be comparing the two.

Paul & Joe revamped its lipstick range (again) in fall 2017, and, since then, I have reviewed Lipstick N in 214 Paris Métro and Lipstick CS in 106 Rue Crémieux. Both perform well for me, and today I will be focusing on Lipstick CS in 115 Tulipe.

Last year, I reviewed Kanebo Coffret d’Or Gran‘s Elegant Up Cheeks in 03 Rose. The Elegant Up Cheeks range was replaced by the Lively Up Cheeks range, and today I will be sharing my thoughts on 03 Rose.

I reviewed Kosé Visée‘s Glossy Rich Eyes in BR-5 Gold Brown (which is among my favorite neutral-toned eyeshadow palettes) in 2015, and I wrote about BR-1 Warm Brown in 2018. Today I will be sharing my thoughts on PK-3 Burgundy.
