Told you I'd post more regularly (Yay! for organisation)
Today I am going to tell you about a recent discovery of mine. Asian make-up has always intrigued me, I only hear good things about their BB creams and mascaras. Also being a fair skinned red head, I find western cosmetic companies usually don't make foundations light enough for me and I had heard the Asian foundations/BB creams come in lighter shades.
Asian make up (specifically Korean) is actually easier to find than you think, you just need to know where to look. I went to 2 different shops (one I just kinda found) to by my products both selling only there own products (like going to a cosmetics counter in myer/david jones).
First I went to the Missha shop in boxhill (Vic), you may have heard of missha due to their much hyped BB creams. Missha can also be bought online from their own store. I picked up their popular Perfect cover BB cream and super black brush pen liner (on recommendation from a friend).

I have only briefly used the BB cream but my first impressions are that I love it, and its very smooth in application with both fingers and a sponge. IT has a slight grey undertone on intial apllication however this fades away after oxidising (~10mins), The coverage is great and I can see why its their best seller. IT has a high SPF and it quite moisturising on my dry skin (also doesnt seem to show dry patches). Overall I am enjoying this product.

Now the pen liner, let me start by saying I have never been able to draw eye liner on my top eyelid but with this magical pen I can!!!! The liner its self is very black and have like a rubber (silicon tip) making application easy. Also the packaging is super pretty.

I also found the face shop when I was wondering around the city and of course I went in to have a look. after testing a few things out I decided on getting some eye liner in navy and a champaigne colour. These I am yet to test out but in the shop I did try them on my hand and OMG! do they last. To get them off I have use makeup remover, the marks stayed on my hand for a good 5 hours and just would not budge even when I washed my hands twice and tried rubbing them off, So A+++++ for staying power on these ones.

So overall I'd say a good experience with asian makeup so far and I would definitely like to try more, any suggestions leave below
Bye for now
