I’m surprised that the Marc Jacobs Air Blush doesn’t get more air-time. Aside from the quick flash in the pan when they were launched about 2 years back, they are surprisingly absent from most people’s Instagram shots. I thought they were Instagram-worthy, don’t you?

I was very fortunate to have been sent the blushes in a PR package, although to this day, I don’t know who sent them, and who I should thank. It niggles at me! I’ve shared them now and again online, but really, they deserve a feature on the blog, because these are one of my favourite blushes.

When you realise that I own a LARGE DRAWER filled with blushes, you’ll know that’s saying something! LOL!

Might this skincare tip be the best technique for applying skincare to your skin?

Skincare is the new buzzword these days in the beauty world, and skincare gurus have mushroomed. Sometimes though, I wonder if it’s a good thing as disinformation is as prevalent as information, if not more so! Perhaps I’m even guilty myself, even though I’m no guru.

But that aside, I often see people applying their skincare, creams in particular, by dotting it on their faces before rubbing in, and I wanted to share this tip, and tell you why it’s better than the dotting method.

Like most people, when I first started using moisturisers, I’d do the 5 dot method – one each on each cheek, and one on the forehead, nose and chin, then rub it in. I know many people still do it because it often see it in videos.

But later, when I first started using La Mer back in the day, they taught me that I had to first, warm up the cream in my hands before applying to skin in a pat-press motion. To this day, that’s over 10 years later, I still use the same technique with every product!

I was watching Jamie Yoon, Global Makeup Artist for Sulwhasoo at an event last week, and he, like most makeup artists who work with skincare, used the same method for applying skincare. I also came across some articles expounding on how Japanese women pat skincare into your skin instead of rubbing. So, what better time to reinforce this technique and skincare tip!

Drop everything! I’ve just found my current favourite affordable sunscreen in the Kanebo Allie Extra UV Perfect SPF50+ PA++++ sunscreen!

It was hard not to go crazy buying up all the skincare in sight while I was in Japan earlier this year. Very hard. It helped that there was a language barrier – it prevented me from quite literally falling for every product out there! Yet, I managed to hoard a number of items, predominantly sunscreen, and one that caught your eye was the Kanebo Allie Extra Perfect UV Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ I showed in some of my pictures back then.

Quite a few of you asked me about it, but I wasn’t comfortable sharing, as I’d quite literally opened it up to use while in Japan, and it was too new to actually form an opinion on. I wanted to come home where the heat and humidity is high, to see how I’d like it. Then, I wanted to really put it through its paces, so I took it to the beach, where I spent an ungodly amount of time in the sun and by the pool.

I wanted to be very sure about how I felt about this one. This was because I’d already fallen in love with it while in Japan, and I really really wanted to know if it was as good for me as its first impression was.

Happily, or unhappily, I think this is the perfect successor for me, to my long-time favourite, the Shiseido Perfect UV sunscreen. The latter has been reformulated this year where the name now states “Multi-Defense” and before you ask, no I have not yet tried it. I know I should, but I am working through other sunscreens I own (I need to before they go off – 2 years shelf life for best efficacy!) and to be honest, I’ve read too many unhappy comments about this new formula – enough to put me off trying.

Well, let’s just say that I’m not actively looking to try the Shiseido one either, because this Kanebo Allie Extra UV Perfect sunscreen has me very happy with it. And yet sad.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Pamper your skin with more ginseng with additions to Sulwhasoo signature ginseng range

Truth to tell, I was going to show you a product I’m really enjoying right now. I had taken my photos and they were fancy ass! But I’ve only just gone and lost my SD-card with those photos and all my recent holiday photos in it! It’s only the latest in a series of misfortunes to have befallen me in recent times, so at this stage, I’m just sort of numb and immune to all this #prayforPB

Instead, I’ll share a quick short about some products from Sulwhasoo I’ve come across recently, that have intrigued me.

Sitting at the pinnacle of this premium brand is the Sulwhasoo Concentrated Renewing Ginseng line. The most famous product is their Sulwhasoo Concentrated Renewing Ginseng Cream which I’ve used and enjoy using (but which I’ve neglected to tell you about! I’ll remedy that soon) This year, Sulwhasoo has expanded this line with a few products, one of which I am quite excited about! See if you can guess which

While I don’t usually talk about press releases of upcoming products (I’m never sure if anyone is really interested – if you are, tell me!), one just dropped into my mailbox that I was so intrigued by, I had to share it, because I’m curious about what you might think of this upcoming makeup release too!

I invite you to feast your eyes on this gloriously aesthetically pleasing range of makeup by Chanel. It is the Boy de Chanel makeup collection, and I am positively smitten by it! I mean, look at that beautiful matte finish, that eye-pleasing midnight blue shade that is so understated, yet so eye-catching.

For once, the boys have it better than the girls, I swear!

Did I say “boys”?

Pucker up for a squeeze of Mamonde Creamy Tint Squeeze Lip creamy liquid lipstick

It was quite amusing to me when the Mamonde Creamy Tint Squeeze Lip was sent out. I came across so many people squealing and going “Ooh! First time ever a squeeze lipstick!” Well, WRONG! Other brands have done it too in the same or slightly different forms, most recently, the Bobbi Brown Art Stick Liquid Lip that looks exactly the same. I own one of them. Just never got round to talking about it.

Pay a little more attention to what’s going on around you, and you’ll realise that makeup trends are cyclical and what goes around comes around!

But what intrigued me enough to share about these Mamonde Creamy Tint Squeeze Lips is because I have a soft spot for the brand. I know I often say I’m not into Korean brands, but Mamonde has gotten under my skin in a good way. Their skincare is quite decent and my little experience with their small makeup range has been fairly positive too. I still use their Flower Pop blush very often! And I like that they are very affordable, yet without compromising on packaging or quality. You know me. I’m picky about things like this, but when a brand grabs hold of my attention, I usually tend to look a little more kindly on it

I shared a picture of these Mamonde Creamy Tint Squeeze Lips on Instagram a little while ago, and received many requests for me to share my thoughts on them. So here we are!
