Hi Everyone. I have been dying to try some Asian beauty products but had never gotten around to ordering anything online. Then I had the brilliant idea of going to Chinatown here in Nyc to see what I could find and boy did I find A LOT. I went to four shops my favorite being this variety store on Canal St since the descriptions were in English as were the ingredients since I don't know Korean or Japanese!
This is what I bought:
Skin79 BB Cream in the Hot pink packaging--yes I am 3 years behind on this bought I wanted to make sure it was authentic and test the color out. I am wearing it right now and quite like it for my oily skin.
Tubing Mascara-I don't remember the brand but I know these are very popular in Japan so I made sure to pick one up. I love tubing mascara anyway and like the one I purchased.
Cotton pads-The Asian cotton pads are so much better than cotton rounds or balls. They don't leave behind little fibers and cost lest than 5.00 for a pack of 80 or so.
Oshima Tsubaki oil-I have been wanting to try this for a while to as it something the Geishas used lol. It is a nice light oil with barely any smell. So far I like it.
Lioele Blooming Lip Gloss-I got this in a coral color but I quite dislike the peach smell. It is a nice formula though
and lastly Meishoku Detclear Peeling Jelly-Works just like Cure Gel but is only around 15.00 and available on Amazon! The Cure broke me out but I wanted to give another one of these type of products a shot and am glad I did.
Also I want to let you know that if you are into facial masks, blotting papers, and eyelashes GO to the nearest Asian beauty store. THey have TONS of these things.
What are your Asian beauty favorites?
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
