Ayase Haruka Max Factor CM

Ayase Haruka Max Factor CM

This is Ayase Haruka in the new Max Factor CM for their mascara.  I thought it’s quite a beautiful CM based on the theme of fan.  And it’s appropriate because they are promoting two mascaras which can help “fan” out your lashes.  As I haven’t been checking out Max Factor counters, I’m not sure if this new line is available here or anywhere outside Japan.  But it definitely looks interesting for both sparse or dense lashes.

Sony CP Curvy Lip Gloss 505

Sony CP Lip Gloss 505I know I gave an excellent rating to Sony CP Curvy Lip Gloss 501 Nude in my earlier review earlier and I still think that product rocks.  So I thought I wanted to try another from the range and I picked Sony CP Curvy Lip Gloss 505 Milky Pink.

Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50

Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF50If you’re looking for an affordable and effective sunblock, Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50+ PA+++  makes the mark.

It’s liquid based, being milky in texture but is ultra light leaving a sheer natural finish with no white residue nor sticky feel.  Because Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50+ PA+++ containts sebum-absorbing powder to control oil and shine, skin actually feels powdery upon application.  Yet, this sunblock does not clog up pores, works well as a makeup base with the face staying shine free for a good part of the day.
