Let’s have a bit of fun with photos on the blog, shall we? I’m crazy about photo apps on my iPhone, so instead of having tonnes of photos lined up vertically, I thought a collage would be easier on the eyes.
It’s the middle of November and why not share what I’ve been constantly using this month…
From the top left and clockwise:
Jo Malone’s English Pear & Freesia is perfect for the transition from autumn to winter in Tokyo. The afternoons are seriously quite warm but the nights are cool. The pear note is quite juicy but not summery like citrus notes are plus the dry down is a gorgeous milky musk. The staying power is not great but an excuse for a perfume fanatic like me to spritz myself with this more often!
Biteki is seriously one of favourite beauty rags in Tokyo — it’s has pages and pages of makeup and skincare which I love to stare at in the bath.
I’ve been smoothing a pump of Morrocan Oil through my hair daily and I just love how it’s not as oily as coconut oil or tsubaki oil but it’s very very very pricey at 3900JPY (plus shipping) so I hope that it lasts for a long time.
Speaking of coconut oil, I may not use this much on my hair but I love it in a salt scrub — best for dehydrated and acne-prone skin like mine.
From left and clockwise:
Dior’s purple travel palette has been my most-reached for eyeshadow palette this month, or rather only-reached for! I’ve been wearing lot of blue, gray, and black clothes this autumn so I love sporting a smokey purple look for my eyes. Detailed review to come soon.
Paul & Joe’s creamy light pink nail polish in 28 was something I painted on my nails repeatedly because it’s so dainty and feminine.
And my favourites would not be complete without a BB cream and this month’s fave is the Ettusias Mineral BB Cream which gives me a flawless, dewy complexion and somehow helps to control my skin from getting too oily. This is definitely worth a full review of its own.
And I can’t forget my Urban Decay Naked Palette! I had a really terrible morning as I woke up with rashes all over my face but the postman rang the door bell around 11am and delivered this to my doorstep. I was so happy to receive it and have been experimenting with different looks. I feel like I don’t really need to buy neutral colours for a while because the range in this palette is quite a amazing.
What are your faves this November?

@nic: nanoce is excellent I agree…
@heather: I have yet to try those revlon lip butters…they look absolutely yummy! yu-be is actually yuskin A in Japan and I think it’s a good moisturizer for winter time.

@xuan: I think if you are a neutrals fan you would love it. The texture of the shadows are very finely milled, no fallout, and smooth. It’s very worth it in terms of $$ but yeah it’s quite a lot to shell out at once for just eyeshadow.

yeah, quite a neutrals fan cos i dun really like pink shimmers nor pull off the smokey eye well. problem for me shawdows (which are getting old) is that it creases too much in our humid weather.
hmmmm, sounds like i need to do some shopping in the US of A again
