Orbis Puff Cleanser




I forgot the price for the bottle but I think it was about $78 HKD per bottle. This bottle tend to sold out in the store. So you can tell the popularity of this product.

A friend of mine recommend this products to me while I was in HK, so I give it a try and it was so good! haha... because I trusted this friend, actually I purchased 3 bottles while I was in the store (without really trying it at first LOL). I tested it out with a very dirty sponge, normally you use 1-2 drops, and it cleaned REALLY well. I used it once a week! Again, I think it is very crucial to have a good cleaning products for your sponge cuz it capture a lot of dirt and germs. So this is really a good product to have! 5 Stars!

Sassou Gold Leaf Soap

Instead of writing of how to use the soap, I think it will be a better idea to record a video to demonstrate how to use the soap instead. So, my camera was out of battery during my last bit, I was talking about how I like the soap.



There are few things I like about the soap:
- It does not leave the feeling of dryness after using the soap (you may sometimes feel dry after washing your face with cleanser foam or lotion type)
- gold leaves - Japanese believed that it will lighten the skin and enahnce the complexity - well, I am not sure if that lighten up my skin..but it does reduce the complexity in my skin. i.e I got "TERRIBLE" rashes from Hong Kong (well, still not recoever 100%) but since I start usingthis soap, my rashes has diminished a lot and my skin started to become normal.

The drawback:
- It is only available in Vancouver in Canada so you need to order online
- It is rather expensive - mine was purchase in Hong Kong for $399 HKD including the net to produce the foam

I guess you can make a fair judgement on whether it is worth the $$ to spend on a soap. But for myself, I have always spend most money on face cleanser/ soap because I believe the foundation of skin care is the "cleaning step" not the mositurizing step. That is just my little theory. Enjoy! :)

Chanel Products Review

Here is my review for Chanel products. (hmm...I did not purchase a lot from Chanel, although I really like their products as I have purchased too much from Shu but here are 2 products that I absolutely LOVE).


1. Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss - 55 Confidence - $245 HKD
As most of you know, I am NOT a fan of lip gloss / lip stick as I hate the feeling of something on the lip. Well, but then I have received the invitation from Chanel while I was in HK to try out their products, so I received a set of their newly launched Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss samples to play with. And I must say, I absolutely LOVE this new line (I wish I can purchase every single colour). There are 9 colours from the lip gloss line. The texture of the lip gloss is not greasy at all, and it create the "watery" look that they promise! I have chose #55 Confidence colour as it best match me. :) I think the lip gloss is reasonly prcied and I love it!







2. Cream foundation -01 - $290 HKD (refill)
As some of you know, I have previously mentioned that this is the best foundation (esp for Winter) as it helps to mositurize the skin. It also provide the best coverage (perfect when you have a lot of acene scar on your face). I just re-purchase the refill as usual. I have used this product in the winter for over 3 years now, and I am yet to find another product that can do the same job as this foundation... so I guess you can tell how much I love it! :)






3. Liquid Concealer - forgot the price
I have always search for a good concealer and I think I have found it. I used to use Bobbi Brown as I heard that it provide the best coverage.. well, let's say it does, but then Chanel did a better job! It really covered my dark circle well. Also, since it is in a liquid form, it is easier to apply. It comes in a lipgloss like package, you just have to put 5 dots under your eyes and you use your forth finger to blend it away! The best part of this product is that it won't have the blend mark that you may get with cream concealer. Another products from Chanel that I will stick with for sure! :)



3. Others
The Chanel Beauty advisor have did a full make up on me one day with their newly launched liquid foundation and loose powder. In previous review, I have mentioned that I chose Shu's over Chanel because of the price. But for sure, Chanel did have some advantages (powder are more fine and the liquid foundation is smoother) over Shu.. but it really depends whether you are willing to pay the extra money to buy them!

Shu Uemura (Make Up) Review

I am back from Hong Kong. And of course during my trip, I purchased a lot of skin care/ Cosmetics to test out (haha that is my hobby). This is my first review to the products that I purchased from Shu Uemura (trust me, the sales lady in Tai Koo loves me so much cuz I purchased a lot).



1. Cream Eye Shadow - Ivory - $190
This is absolutely AMAZING, I love this cream eye shadow! I use it as base eyeshadow, it prevent eyeshadow being creased or wear off. I have tested it out thoroughly. I have wear the same eyeshadow without applying this cream eyesahdow as base and then the next day applying the cream eyeshadow before putting on eyeshadow. This cream eyeshadow makes my eyeshadow stays all day. It also prevent oil from my eye (you know, HK is kinda hot - 30 degree)! There are 9 colour (I believe), but I found that Ivory is the best colour, next is Pink. They are a bit sparkle. I found that they also enhance the colour of the eyeshadow. This is definitely my favourite product from Shu in this trip!

2. EyeBrow pencil - 2 brown - $190
I have heard a lot of great reviews from the eyebrow pencil, so I cannot wait to buy and test it out! It is awesome! It is very easy to use and it allow a precise application. Also the best part is, you can always bring the eyebrow pencil back to Shu and they will sharpen it for you! Perfect for lazy person like ME!



3. Concealer brush - number 10 - (forgot the price)
I have had few conceler brush from other brand, but this is by far the best one. The hair of the brush is soft and capture the cream concealer very well. :)


4. Liquid Foundation - 764 - $390
I was debating to purchase face makeup from Chanel vs. Shu for a long while (you know I am a big Chanel fans) but then I think it is time to give it a try! The 764 that I chose was a medium coverage, the liquid foundation is very light (not greasy at all) and very easy to apply - just simply use a sponge to apply and you only require a small amount and it will cover your whole face! I love it!








5. Base foam
I think you have previously heard from me that I love their base foam. They have recently launched a new version with much lighter texture and higher coverage. I love it very much. There are days where I am lazy with my make up. I only apply it without putting anymore make up. It evens out your complexity on your face! A+ product!










7. Powder
I purchased this powder (again debating from Chanel vs. Shu). Well, it is cheaper in Shu and that I feel that it provide a similar texture, very soft and it set your make up very nicely! :)






8. 2 way cake -$390
love this product! Again it is perfect for touch up during the day, it is soft! And it touches up nicely! :)







9. Traveler brush set - $380 from HK airport ONLY
LOVE THIS SET. I have had Bobbi Brown set.. well, let's say I regret getting Bobbi Brown set! The set include - powder brush, blush brush, eyeshadow brush and a lip or eyeliner brush! Very compact, perfect for on the go!

Welcome Ladies (perharps some gentlemen! LOL)
