Moonshot lands in Singapore

Published by

Beauty Gazette first brought your attention to the awesome Moonshot in April, and now it is here at Sephora Singapore stores. I love everything about this brand – especially the cool visuals – and their colour cosmetics. I’m hooked on their Cream Paint lip and cheek product (pigmented, easy to blend and long-lasting), UV Bouncer sunscreen (lightweight with a dewy finish), and Jelly Pot (pigmented gel-textured multi-purpose shadow and highlighter, as seen on model in the pic above) . This brand could very well be the next Nars or Shu Uemura from Korea. Moonshot is by YG Entertainment, which has brought you the big acts from Big Bang, 2NE1 to PSY. So make the connection: want to look like the fabulous K-pop star? You know where to grab the make-up.

Go Jun Hee for M.A.C?

I am loving this cross-cultural thing that is going on in the beauty industry. According to Korean celebrity Go Jun Hee’s Instagram, she could be the new face of M.A.C. That, or there will be a new M.A.C x Go Jun Hee collection hitting stores soon. Would you buy it? I am still loving her hair, btw.

YG Entertainment’s Moonshot in Seoul

Published by

Yes. The Koreans from the South are so good at raking in the moolah. K-pop manufacturer YG Entertainment, responsible for the uber popular Big Bang, 2NE1 and PSY, has its own cosmetics brand Moonshot. So K-pop fans can have a shot at looking a little like their idols (without having to go for surgery). Launched around a year ago, the flagship store is mapped on the Gyeongbukgong area (along the main street of restaurants and boutiques). It’s hard to miss the stylish block. And inside, you will be served by a men-only make-up artist team… The store offers both colour cosmetics and skincare. I got my hands on five of these Jelly Pot eyeshadows that are intensely pigmented and the colours are beautifully shimmery. And how often do you come across metallic magenta and peachy coral shadows? I had to grab them. —- The second floor of the store (above) is designed for classes and workshops. Just so you get an idea of how the make-up looks..here are some screengrabs of a Moonshot xTablo Youtube …

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.
