My favorite Japanese facial blotting papers
I want to talk abou
t how much I enjoyed using Japanese blotting papers. I got this classic pink black design facial blotting papers as a sample when I bought their Thai herbal bath kit. At first, I thought I didn’t need it! I started realized otherwise when I applied it on my face and saw all excess oil that this great blotting paper absorbed – it really convinced me that I need it.
I have been using it this summer everyday. I have combination/oily skin. My cheek area is dry and my forehead is normal, not oily at all during spring and winter. Just during summer, my forehead and nose get extra oily and shiny during the day. Maybe because I apply plenty of sunscreen during this time of the year because I’m so afraid of the strong sun here.
These blotting papers became my essential beauty kit. I like this matchbook type design because it’s light, thin and practical for my small purse. After using I just tuck the the top of pink cover into the bottom black flap to close.
Combination Waterproof Mascara and Eyeliner Combination
Since I began using Mistine combination eyeshadow and eyeliner, I started to love Mistine products. I recently tried Combination Pro Long Waterproof Mascara & Eyeliner Pen. It’s affordable, practical, and fits in my small purse. It lengthens lashes, doesn’t clump and comes off with water. And it’s easy to remove with makeup remover. I can retouch my makeup anytime I want. Mascara color is beautiful and it’s definitely worth a try!
My favorite Duo Eyeshadow and Eye Liner Pen
I got Mistine Duo eyeshadow and eye liner pen during the trip. It’s really affordable, practical and perfect for my small purse. I can touch up eyeshadow any time I want. I even use it to highlight eyebrow color. It comesin many colors and I got them all ; gold brown, greenish blue, purple, grey silver. You can choose to use any color you want for daytime and night time. It’s so convenient – I always keep in my purse. In the morning rush, I sometimes put my makeup on when in the car or when I stop at the red stop right. I can’t go out without it.
Dermalogica Soothing Eye Make-Up Remover
Rating : 9/10
I’m a fan of Dermalogica Brand. I’m using many Dermalogica skincare products such as Ultracalming Cleanser for Face and Eyes, Intensive Eye Repair, Total Eye Care SPF, Barrier Repair etc. I feel like their products are very natural, smell so good and are gentle enough for my sensitive skin. It didn’t get red when applied like other products I ever used. I see from the ingredients list – lots of good stuff from natural plants and flowers for your skin. My favorite ingredient is lavender.
I’d like to give a review of Dermalogica Soothing Eye Make-up Remover that I got as a sample when I ordered another skincare product. I’m kind of surprised to learn that they have a makeup remover for eyes. Maybe I didn’t look throughly when I searched for products. It’s very clear, almost watery, but gently removes all makeup, mascara, eye shadow without leaving a trace. It smells good and soothing. I’m satisfied with it. I think I’ll order the full size soon.
The Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
Rating : 9.6/10
I have serious dark circles under my eyes because I work very late at night. I have tried many concealers, but nothing covered completely like Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit. I think it’s one of the most perfect concealer I ever tried. I tried some mineral concealer powder, but it didn’t cover much, still see the dark circles.
Since I have an yellow undertone so it’s even tough to find the concealer that matches my skin tone perfectly and still covers completely and looks natural like Bobbi Brown Concealer. It is creamy so it needs to use concealer to apply. The areas under my eyes are dry so I need to apply eye cream first and let it dry, then apply concealer so it won’t make crease lines.
Extreme Waterproof Mascara for Angel Eyes

Lancome L
Usually I don’t put makeup much because I’m working from home. I like to put on mascara when going out. I have an Oriental small, short eye lashes so I need a volume, long last mascara. One of my friend said Lancome Mascara is the world best! Of course Miss M, my beauty expert friend also confirmed that. So I got Lancome L’Extreme Waterproof Mascara to enhance my poor short eye lashes. So far so good, easy to cleanse off. That’s what I’m the most concerned!
