Limited edition cheek palette

Popular cosmetic brand RMK, came up with special edition cheek palatte, to celebrate their 15th anniversary. The design is created with the image of a little fairy dressed in petal. Looks cute? Does it capture your heart? It could make a fabulous gift too.

A 6 colors set that has its color balancing considered and it is limited edition.
Just mix the colors with a blush to give a natural clear coloring and add a touch of glossiness to the skin.

Limited edition lip cheek makeup

This limited edition (limited stock) dual purpose makeup for the cheek and lip is a new release.

Application on the lip adds a faint shade of red to it and the result is natural.
The trick to achieve a florid complexion or enhance the coloring is to use it as a base, prior to the application of cheek makeup or lip gloss.

Reviews are good, with many saying that the result was very natural although they were surprised by the “blood-color like” when they first opened up the cover.
To add-on, some users even use for their eye makeups.

In all, this is a really convenient multiple usage color enhancement makeup.

• looks natural after application
• spreads and blend evenly on the face
• the moisturizing component keeps the skin from going dry even after long hours
• my pores are well-covered.
• makeup stays fresh even after sometime.

Nivea Sun (SPF30)

The top in ranking is “Nivea Sun” which is a product by KAO. For few years, it has been awarded as one of the Best Sunscreens in Japan. If you happen to be checking this article by chance, it will be good to know that Nivea sunscreen is probably easily obtainable in most part of the world and it is very affordable.

I will translate some common positive reviews about it from the users:

• I like the fact it’s gel type and the face does not go white after application.
• What I like most is the texture which doesn’t feel oily or even sticky on the face.
• Special type of cleanser removal is not needed, which is a plus for me.
• It feels so light on the skin that you don’t feel the application at all.
• I don’t encounter skin irritation after using.

The amazing part is that I don’t really see much negative reviews from users out of the 2904 write-ins. I just pick up two for your information.

• It feels just like water, thus I can’t use it as base for makeup.
• I put it on during travelling to school. Though I repeated applications, my skin still turns dark (probably SPF30 isn’t enough during summer season?).

ALLIE by Kanebo, released 9 months ago is a more expensive version which is slowly gaining in popularity. Of course, the deserved to be mentioned point is that Kanebo is a very famous cosmetic company in Japan. Over the years, they had released many series of sunscreens and the series are constantly improving.

ALLIE (SPF50)

Ok, here you go. These are the positive reviews from users.

• Spreads and blend easily onto the face.
• It doesn’t go white on the face and is not sticky consider its a SPF50.
• In spite of its high SPF, its unexpectedly light on the face.
• I don’t burn under the sun after application.

And not forgetting the negative review from users. Like the Nivea Sun, ALLIE also doesn’t have much negative reviews from the 1211 write-ins. Again, I picked up two.

• It seems too drying for my face.
• Applying mixture of the screen and foundation in a hurry make the face looks very dirty.

My Opinion:
I will reserve my comment for these two products since I have yet to give them a try. Speaking about preference, I will prefer SPF higher than what Nivea offers (30). I am currently using Annesa by Shiseido, which I am quite satisfied with the texture and how well it blends into my skin. I think I will stick to it for a while more and switch to ALLIE if I have chance.

• Dior Addict Lip Maximizer (3,675yen) — Dior
• Detergent for Puffs and Sponges (105yen) — Daiso
• Foundation Brush 131 (1,890yen) — Shiseido

Here it is, if you would like to recall a little bit about the article.

Today I will touch on how to achieve the skin transparency look (radiant, glow) using this face up powder. This is picked up and translated with reference from kanebo site. Face up powder is applied only after base and foundation.

• Step1 – With the powder puff, apply bit by bit by pressing lightly focusing on the cheek area.
  Tip for a longer lasting makeup: Apply from the bottom to top against the direction of downy hair.
• Step 2 – Apply in the same manner as step 1 to the the cheek, bridge of the nose, areas around the nostril and mouth for a well-blended tone.
• Step 3 – For delicate areas around the eyes, nostrils and corners around the mouth, fold the powder puff into half and apply.
• Step 4 – Its complete as long as it feels smooth and not oily when touched. Use a clean brush or new powder puff to brush off residual powder.

On the issue whether its the Cosmetic Power that makes Japanese women shines, I will leave it to you to think about it (^_-)
