Moon water? spf

Nars Aquagel I love how you make my face moist and plump without grease!
I wish you were not this expensive though...

Has anyone tried the Chidoriya Peach Moon water/toner? I am very curious because is supposed to be anti-inflamatory and has very pure ingredients. But, I do not find any reviews, so I am still on the brink of trying it out. Ahhh indecision...

Also I have been trying out the Fasio spf55 face & body , the blue one. I used to like it last year.This year's edition seems too greasy and I have some clogged pores, also the formula separates itself into serum and cream, so you have to careful shaking it to ensure you get an even consistency, too much hassle, sad...too bad the price was so great at ~14 dollars, since it is a drugstore brand.

Finally, there is nowhere to find this summer's Albion Shooting Spots, ebay please!

idea for clean eyes

Thank you for reading this, is been a long time since I posted. In the meantime I read your blogs and drooled over your makeup, seriously! Thank you very much to all of you who left your warm good wishes, I treasure them.

This is an integrate-shiseido ad promoting their new liner-shadow pen combo ( I never really get to use those, but that is just me), I like this simple , clean makeup and glossy geometric hair . The hair part I could never pull off, my hair is way too wavy. The makeup? really easy to dupe and office appropriate.

Dupe version!: Lids and crease with P&J silvery blue white eye gloss. Upper Lid with a white jelly ( Jill stuart, Lavshuca?) with some blue or light blue shimmer ( this makes the eyes brighter, more than just white). Lower lids with the same jelly ( slanted brush makes it easier) , and finally some serious black gel lining,thicker on the outer edges. Doooone! Pair with non powdery ( try gel) neutral cheeks, not cool pinks, it can get too ice -princessy.

On gel liners... my Clinique one smudges, the Kate one hardens in the pan in no time, Mac one is already solid like frozen butter, Esprique Precious gel liner has the best texture but the colors faint a bit during the day ,which is not so bad, but..I yet have to find a gel liner to love. My next one will probably be the new shu uemura one. We will see!


Love,
Lou
