Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation

So, I think this new foundation from Bobbi Brown is exclusive to Asia at the moment as it is being promoted as suitable for the hot and humid climate over here!


I for one am totally excited about this as I havn't been able to find a good foundation in Hong Kong (whether from western or eastern brands) that lasts half a day let alone a good full day!

What Bobbi Brown states:

"A natural looking and long wearing foundation that is ultra comfortable and hydrating.  It is Gel Based and as a medium-full coverage formula that leaves the skin looking poreless, perfected and fresh for up to 12 hours even in the most humid conditions.  Includes broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF15 for daily protection against future damage."

Avalible in 10 shades ranging from Porcelain to Warm Natural.

Already avalible in Asia - I still need to find out the price but going on other Bobbi Brown Liquid Foundations, costs around 35GBPs.

CC Creams......better than BB Creams?!

While BB Creams are hitting the Western market by force this year, CC Creams are making an impact in Asia! 

So, what are CC Creams I hear you ask?!  CC Creams, which stands for 'Colour Control', are dubbed as the next generation BB Creams.  They have the existing benefits of a BB Cream - Moisturising, Skin Repair, Anti-aging, Primer, Foundation and SPF.  BUT, CC Creams are more nourishing, offers a better coverage with lighter consistency in a non-oily formula, and offers a darker range of shades!  The light and non-oily formula is great for those with oilier skin (BB Creams tend not to favour those with oily skin types), and help prevent the cream from clogging up pores resulting in fewer breakouts (BB Creams tend to have a heavy consistency with reports of causing breakouts in some!).  And finally, the 'Colour Control' part of the cream gets rid of the grey cast that tends to be popular in most BB Creams.

CC Creams have been on the market for quite a while now, but since Chanel's version of the CC Cream: 'Complete Correction' Cream have been making headlines in the beauty world, CC Creams are now getting more attention.

CC Creams:

IFiona CC Cream

Racheal K CC Cream
The Skin Shop: Iris CC Cream
Chanel: Completec Correction Cream
I can definately see myself using this cream if what they say about being suitable for the oiler skin type and prevent breakouts is true!  While I can easily get my hands on the Rachel K CC Cream, I may hold out for the Chanel one!

New Urban Decay EyeShadows and Palette!

I am so looking forward to this, I've never been a fan of the naked palettes as the shades to me were not all that good, BUT, with their new palette and a new selection of shades, I can now pic n mix!


There’s 68 to choose from including best-sellers as well as a new shade line-up all available in five different finishes – Satin, Shimmer, Sparkle, Duotone and Matte.  They are said to have a soft velvety texture and the highy-pigmented colour that glides on effortlessly to make eyes pop in an instant.

I also love the look of the packaging.  The eyeshadow compacts have been revamped so that you can pop them out and place into a custom palette as shown above!

Urban Decay’s new eyeshadows and build your own palette will be coming soon.
