Make Over at Christian Dior (Harrods) ♪♪

I was invited to the special make-over event by professional make-up artists.

Nice to know how to make up properly while sipping nice champagne! (^v^)


The make up artist was very good and skilled! I learnt a lot today. I was a very keen student!!!

Good BB Cream \(^^)/

I was looking for good BB cream with high SPF.


Yes, I found something.  ↓↓

Dr. Jart+  BB Beauty Balm!


Surprisingly? I found these at Boots! On the package it is written 'Made in Korea'! I hear that they have nice cosmetics in Korea. I have not been there yet though.


I put on this BB cream first then Dior powder foundation using brush. Done!


If you are looking for good BB cream, try these! Recommended!

CLINIQUE CC Cream

I got Clinique CC Cream at the airport.

I was looking for higher SPF BB or CC cream. 'Sadly' SPF15 for the most of BB cream...


Someone said 'Why don't you use high SPF sun screen lotion or base before BB cream?'


The best point of BB cream is that it is All in ONE. Sun screen lotion, base, foundation and sometimes even moisturiser! If I have to use the separate base or sunscreen lotion, I rather use the conventional liquid foundation!!!


BB cream can save time in the morning. This is the reason why BB cream is popular!


SPF30 for this CC Cream.


This CC cream definitely got Clinique foundation/moisturiser DNA. Mat feeling when you put it on.


Because I am putting powder on top of this, I am not sure whether or not this is illuminating my face colour.


BB cream I want,

1. High SPF (for out door activities such as tennis/golf & holiday)

2. High Covering (to hide my pigmentation & spots)

3. Good Moisturising (in this dry climate)



Should be All in One!

Cleansing Oil

I am using waterproof cosmetics when I play tennis. Otherwise I will have a panda face!!! (We sometimes see such people at the cinema. They must have seen the sad movie!)


Waterproof foundation, mascara & eyeliner...


It is difficult to remove waterproof make-up using ordinary cleansing product. The best solution is the cleansing oil.


I am using this cleansing oil. ↓

This is Japanese one. I got it at Muji. There are many Muji shops in London.


I sometimes use Shu Uemura cleansing oil as well. This is also good.


Firstly I remove my make-up using cleansing oil, then wash my face again using olive or argan soap.


After this procedure my clean natural face comes back!


Cleansing oil is recommended when you use waterproof cosmetics!!!

L'OREAL Youth Code Luminize & Rodial Skin Bleach Serum

I have a pigmentation problem because I am always playing tennis & golf under the strong sun.


Pigmentation makes us look much older. Because of my pigmentation I look like a grandma!!! (*~*:)


Today at Boots I found L'OREAL Youth Code Luminize on special offer. Yes, I got one, of course!

A couple of weeks ago I got a small sample of this product. I felt it was good. Also suits my skin. I have to see how effective on my pigmentation after using it for a while. Let's wait & see!


Before, I was using Rodial Skin Bleach Serum. This is also very very good for pigmentation. This product is slightly more expensive though.

To achieve our ideal beauty we have to keep trying!

YSL BB cream

When I play tennis I really get sweaty so I need good water-proof cosmetics. I also get browned by the sun.


On the other day I found this.↓

YVES SAINT LAURENT BB cream

I do not need any base cream/liquid foundation. Only using this.


Plus, UV Shield SPF 50!!!


On top of this BB cream I put powdery foundation using brush. Done! My paint?! on my face is still there even after heavy tennis session!



By the way I have not been asked to promote this cream by YSL.   (^-^)

Black soap from Morocco

Have you ever heard of 'black soap' which is used in Moroccan steam room??

It is famous that argan oil is good for our skin & hair. In Morocco we can buy not only argan oil but also argan soap.

I bought both conventional hard-type argan soap & this↑ black soap.

My skin is very dry so I am using this jelly-like black soap everyday. It is working! My skin does not look dry any more.

Recommended for dry skin!!! (Must be good for any skin type though.)
