Laneige Two-tone Lip Bar

Published by

This is the most fun lipstick I have seen in awhile. Laneige’s new Two-tone Lip Bars let you have those ombre sunset effect lips in a jiffy. There are around ten shades available, and this one is obviously my fave. (Anything bright is my default choice.) I treated the colour of the picture above…so here is a more accurate depiction of this gorgeous shade called Neon Juice. It is reddish-orange and a pretty pink. With one slick, this is the effect you will get. If you want the brighter shade to be on the outside, and the lighter one on the inside, you just have to slick on the rectangular-shaped lipstick bullet accordingly. Run, and get it now. 

Isshindo Honpo Animal Face Pack and Kabuki Face Pack

The Japanese pay attention to every detail of the packaging. I can’t read Japanese but I guess the wrapper is a sort of newsletter on the endangered pandas and tigers. —- The Kabuki Face Pack is a product of the Tokyo Midtown Award design competition. The contest showcases Japanese art and cultural tradition, as well as its expertise in beauty care. Similarly, the inside of the packaging is a newsletter with interesting nuggets of info on the art of Kabuki. Characters with red faces are good, while the blue and dark faces are evil. The blue and red strokes apparently highlights the facial muscles and veins in the human face. Collagen, camellia seed extract, tea leaf extract and satozakura flower extract infused in the mask keeps it moisturised and soft.
