Joseibi — Mon, 14 May 2012 01:57:02 +0000

This is the second Hada Labo product I bought from my recent Adambeauty haul. I also bought the tamagohada AHA+BHA Cleansing Foam which I haven't used yet.

It took one brand - Hada Labo - for me to get back into the whole BB Cream (or, what I consider to be, tinted moisturizer) fad again.

Product Review: SkinFood Buckwheat Loose Powder in #10 (Transparent)

Oh, SkinFood. It's my favourite Korean beauty fix of late; since I had gone cruelty free, I had sworn off a few of my favourites - Sulwhasoo, Isa Knox, The History of Whoo, etc. But am I glad SkinFood is not animal tested!

Zinio – An Affordable Way to Read Asian Magazines!

It's really just a matter of time before magazines go digital. For years, I had been paying US$15+ (plus 13% taxes) per issue of Biteki and VoCE; an exorbitant amount considering these are just magazines, which cost considerably more than books due to the shipping costs from Japan. I have enough copies to make my eyes roll - the money I spent on mere magazines is enough to feed a village in Africa!

The Latest Muse of Shiseido Maquillage – Kumiko Goto!

Joseibi — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:48:04 +0000

It was the year 1988 - I was thirteen and my older sister sixteen. We watched Tsukai! Rock-n-Roll Toori starring Kumiko Goto and Yatsuko Sawaguchi as sisters and I thought those two were the prettiest girls. A few years later, I went to the U.S. and then we moved to Canada, so I lost track of both actresses.

I apologize that it's been quite almost a month since I last posted! Even the posts before, I had them on schedule so I actually wrote them long ago. It's been hard - I hadn't slept more than 3 hours a night for the past 4 months (more on that on my sister blog).

Shiseido’s New Animal Testing Status…or is it just more of the same old, same old?

Joseibi — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:13:05 +0000

According to PETA and many other animal rights group (except for GAN), Shiseido is still testing on animals. But when I reviewed their company website, I noticed that it had added that its products are not tested on animals, while their ingredients may be:

Product Review: EcoTools Cosmetic Brushes

It's not often that I fall in love with drug store cosmetics/accessories. I am a self-admitted cosmetics snob; but once in a blue moon, there are just some products from drug stores I find better than their high end counterparts and at a fraction of the price!
