Shu Uemura
Instinct Fall Mode Makeup - Duo Eye Shadow

Each shu uemura Instinct Fall Mode Makeup Duo Eye Shadow consists of a rich cream shade and complementary bronze powder tones, which blend together to create captivating colors and reflection.

This limited edition eye shadow palette is like a gentle reminder that Fall is fast approaching. Aren’t you Western beauties excited about what sort of look ladies will be sporting come Autumn? In fashion, purple is undoubtedly the next IT colour. I guess makeup will follow suit.

Though I’m noticing that I rarely spend time on eye makeup lately, well, except for the gel liner. I guess that’s probably because I only often run errands. No need for makeup there. And another thing is that I do need to hustle some new eye shadow colours in because I know there will be situations wherein I’ll need to put some colour.

The Skincare Eye Moisture Recharge by Shiseido

Shiseido
The Skincare Eye Moisture Recharge

Shiseido Eye Moisture Recharge hydrates the delicate area around the eye and helps skin retain moisture all day long, which protects from damage caused by dryness. It improves fine lines and retexturizes skin to create smooth, resilient eyes, while minimizing the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, for more youthful-looking smoothness and vitality.

Is it just me or do all ladies check the “results” of whatever skincare product they apply on their skin everyday? I guess it’s me being impatient again. Heh. But I do like to see how my skin is progressing as I use this particular eye cream. I know I’ve been hinting about this current experiment on two posts but, continue to bear with me as I postpone writing the review. Things are a bit toxic on my end and I want to be able to give the review my full and undivided attention when I write it.
