Glowy Skin: Dior Capture Totale Dream Skin Perfect Skin Cushion Review ft. Amea

- by Brenda Chan - 

Watch the chic Amea do a first impression review on Christian Dior Capture Totale Dream Skin Perfect Skin Cushion. She applies the cushion with a brush instead of the sponge that comes with it, as she said that will give her better coverage. She finds the finish really natural and it looks undetectable on skin. It evens her skin tone and gives a nice glow to her complexion. She also mentions that this cushion has anti-aging function, which is perfect for ladies who concerned with aging problem. Moreover, Amea commented that this foundation has really long lasting power – it hasn’t faded since wearing it from 9am to 7:30 pm in the evening.

Pick Your Love: Enjoy Up to 22% Off Sitewide Discount this Valentine’s

- by Caroline Hastings-Brown –

OK, I am just going to come right out and say it! I don’t really like Valentine’s Day in its standard form. It’s become too commercial, and I don’t find it romantic to be desperately trying to get a reservation in a good restaurant, or paying inflated prices for a few blooms, or eating loads of chocolate that quite frankly, just makes you fat.

So, before you call me the Valentine’s Grinch, let me say I LOVE love! I am a hopeless romantic with a wild imagination, so I suppose the ‘plannedness’ of romance on Valentine’s Day just doesn’t ring true. It’s almost like you HAVE to express your love, which makes it a bit strange.

Share the love, it’s for everyone!

So, on a far more practical and exciting note, COSME-DE.COM is not going to be sending just a few people a few roses and chocolates. No siree, we have the right idea by sharing the love, with all of you, no matter what! And how do we do that? By giving you all sitewide discounts on ALL your purchases! No discrimination, no discounts only for the popular, pretty girls – EVERYONE gets to feel the love. So that’ll get you in a much better mood then!

Yup, for 3 days between 11 Feb and 14 Feb 2017 you will get a percentage off your order!  

·        For 15% off on orders, spend USD 220 / USD 220 (around RMB 1,523) / AUD 270 / HKD 1600 / £ 150 or above, and use the code WITHLOVE15 at checkout.

·        For 20% off on orders, spend USD 260 / USD 260 (around RMB 1,800) / AUD 340 / HKD 2000 / £ 190 or above and use the code WITHLOVE20 at checkout.

So, I am going to use the opportunity try out some new stuff, and I suggest you do the same!

Like Chanel Le Blanc De Chanel Multi-Use Illuminating Base. The iconic foundation is a cult favorite with professional makeup artists. It instantly illuminates the complexion with a subtle halo of light and perfectly evens out the skin's texture. Facilitating the application of foundation and prolonging its hold, this base is infused with Witch hazel extract to reduce the appearance of pores. It also contains silica and mica powders of mineral origin to mattify the complexion. Enriched with a moisturizing complex, it restores softness and absolute comfort.

Chanel Le Blanc De Chanel Multi-Use Illuminating Base

And, seeing as now is my chance, I am going to snap up the Christian Dior Hydra LifeClose-Up Pore Reducing Pro-Youth Moisturize. It moisturizes and treats the causes of visible pores by targeting them at their source. The skin is perfectly moisturized and mattified and the skin's texture is smoother, while the appearance of all types of pores is deeply corrected, instantly and lastingly. The effect is a silky, subtly glowing finish. The skin's texture no longer has anything to conceal, even close-up, with no need for tricks or operations. Its rosy-colored aqueous gel glides comfortably onto the skin and offers the dual sensation of powdered freshness and improved makeup hold throughout the day. Now, that’s romantic if you ask me!

Christian Dior Hydra Life Close-Up Pore Reducing Pro-Youth Moisturize

So, get your browsing hat on and get romantic, for yourself or the significant ones in your life!

5 Must-Have Lip Colors For This Festive Season

---By Kylie Tang---

We have thousands of reasons to put colors on lips. Some girls are shy to colors while some are bold to show off their pretty, painted lips – yes, I say “paint”! Once you have applied a lipstick (the painting brush~), you instantly enjoy a complemented complexion which catches much attention from those around you. Now you have a choice: a color tone for this festive season!

You’ll Never Get Wrong With Classic Red

Not many ladies like carrying bright red colors. Yet, I highly support them for Christmas. Just look at those Christmas accessories – we can have complemented lips this season. Why not choose a classic red on lips that tends to your Santa hat? Be bold to show off a pop of healthy, glammed-up colors. Some says bright colors work the best on light skin yet I just found red is applicable on most complexions.

Believe me, you won’t get wrong with bright red!

Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy Excess Moisture Rich Lipcolor

Giorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy Excess Moisture Rich Lipcolor (#401 Hot) has the true red hue you need. It offers an intense and vibrant red colors, it satisfies your reddish desire.

The Universal Girly Color - Pure Pink

Pink is a shade that most ladies like. For me, I can’t take my eyes off pink-painted lips – they are just delightful. It’s the color that suits all complexions! You’ll be more girlish, younger-looking and vibrant after applying a perfect pink shade. Tell your the world that “I like being a girl”.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick (#49 Rose Saint Germain) creates a pop of pink, and it contains 6 emollient oils for a beautifully glowing PINK!

I Just Love My Complexion

Pick a nude lipstick for the Christmas, if you love the introverted and dignified pigment. Nude lipsticks perform well on most sorts of makeup, even though you’ve got “full gear” – eye shadow, a complete foundation routine, mascara, blush (all together). Nude colors are also suitable for makeup-free girls! Enjoy an illuminated complexion and choose the right nude hue for your skin tone.

Nude lip colors can be carried by all kinds of complexions.

M.A.C. Cremesheen Lipstick

M.A.C. Cremesheen Lipstick (Crème D'Nude) creates a lovely color of ice-cream on your lips. It is infused with pearlized pigments and is ideal for Asian complexions.

Doesn’t Matter If You Are Shy To Colors

I understand that. I just need a lipstick that creates a natural flush of pink color. If you find healthy-look outweighs a makeup and color-oriented appearance, try Christian Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm.

Christian Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Awakening Lip Balm

It is a made-to-measure lip balm that enhances the lip’s natural colors. Ideal for girls who hope to keep a lower profile on lip colors. The lovely perfume-shaped lip balm deserves much attention.

“Nobody knows I have put on lip colors yet Christian Dior helps create a healthy look.”

The Bravery To Dark Colors

It doesn’t require much bravery in fact. Heavy makeup is not compulsory. Pick some pure and fresh purples and work on clear, concise makeup for a noble finish. Embrace the Korean beauty trend. 

An Everlasting Gift

So have you chosen your own colors? I’ve decided to purchase at least one before Christmas. Let your lips smile with alternative colors!

Korean Makeup Trends Autumn 2016

We all know that Korean beauty products and trends have taken the skin care world by storm with fresh, natural affordable and innovative skin care products. The focus on fresh, clean, natural and glowing skin is a look we have all been hankering after and the Korean beauty products give us just that.

Skin Care Innovators

Trends in skin care include at-home skin care tools like LED devices, so you can get spa-perfect skin at home. Waterless products are also showing up as a new Korean trend in terms of being more moisturising and also conserving our natural water sources. The baby faced look favoured by Korean beauty is still oh-so-very in. Korean products brought us BB and CC creams, sheet masks, oil cleansers and gel sleeping masks.

Autumn Makeup

But it’s not only in terms of beauty and skin care treatments that the Koreans are leading the pack, it is makeup trends too, so it’s worth checking out a few of these so you, too, can be ahead of the curve this autumn.

Face Fitness

One of the biggest focuses of these trends is face shape and contouring. The “ideal” is an oval face shape with a gentle but defined V shape at the chin. Achieving and promoting this look requires no extra facial fat around the jaw line, and there is actually an innovative mask treatment that helps to lift and firm the shape of your face, promote facial blood circulation and burn up any extra facial fat that you don’t want. The Mask House Diamond Slimming Series Diamond V Fit Mask uses a “slimming band” to refine facial contours and promises to reduce the face by 1cm and increase firmness by 20%. I’ll say yes to that! One box contains 6 treatments and the slimming band. 

Mask House Diamond Slimming Series Diamond V Fit Mask

Ombre Lips For The Perfect Pout

Now for the makeup to contour and achieve the gorgeous Korean look! Two of the biggest autumn trends are ombre lips and hair shading. Ombre lips make the mouth appear gorgeously full, by applying a darker shade on the inner lips and gradually fading to a lighter shade. To try this trend out with a full pink pout, take two Christian Dior Rouge Dior Baume Natural Lip Treatment Couture Colour lipsticks. I love the combination of 558 Lili on the inner lips, fading out to 128 Star on the outer lips. With this product there is no need to choose between lipcare and makeup – in a single step, lips are revived in colours with a healthy glow and shine, and drenched in a protective nourishing lip treatment. The texture retains an incredibly fine consistency with flawless hold and lips are intensely smoothed, plumped and full. Perfect for this trend!

Flawless Skin

Cushion foundation is the absolute must have Korean product. Based on traditional Korean royal court skincare formulas, The History of Whoo is revived with modern science to create the most precious aesthetic beauty products. Try the luxurious Gongjinhyang: Seol Radiant White Moisture Cushion Foundation SPF50+ / PA+++, with perfect coverage yet light texture and rich hydration for that smooth, dewy, glowing skin. The formula was developed to contain camomile extracts to brighten up dull skin and correct dark spots. 

The History of Whoo Gongjinhyang: Seol Radiant White Moisture Cushion Foundation SPF50+ / PA+++

Another awesome product to achieve the Korean makeup look is the innovation from SK-II. The Color Clear Beauty Artisan Brush Foundation Set is a cream compact set that provides radiant skin in one swipe while achieving full coverage. The Enamel Radiant Cream Compact features three-coloured swirls, each formulated using different extracts to enhance and care for skin.
The Beige layer contains Pitera™ and Vitamin E to help even out skin tone, the white layer incorporates Radical New Age™ Complex and Glycerin to provide anti-aging and hydrating benefits while the pink layer boasts lavender and gold pearls to enhance skin’s luminosity. Included in the compact is the Artisan Perfecting Brush, engineered with new micro-coverage brush technology, which evenly spreads a light layer of product across the face when applied in circular motions.

When used together, the duo works in harmony to create glowing skin and cover any imperfections including large pores. Who can say no to that?

So, to keep your skin amazing, your face beautiful and your make up spot on trend it’s viva Korea!

2016 Autumn Makeup Color Trend Part 1: Eyeshadow Palette

Keep It Subtle Or Swing Out With Bold Styles – It’s Up To You!

The autumn catwalks one and all were awash with exciting and delightful new makeup trends for autumn 2016. The skin was bare-looking and healthy, and the range of eye makeup looks absolutely astounding! The great thing about having such a range is that there is always going to be something that is totally “now” that is right for you. With modern takes on retro trends and great new ways of wearing colour, you are going to love updating your eye makeup this autumn.

Comebacks and Creative Firsts

The looks range from a simple, one colour sweep of terra cotta, orange or pink, to the 2016 version of the all-time classic and sexy smoky eye, to a sparkling blast of rock n’ roll chic with glam green and gold, exotic, bold rainbow looks to very bold blocks of blue, gorgeous minimalist 90’s looks revisited, and even further back in time, Twiggy lashes were featured too. Winged eyeliner swept up to new heights, coloured in with aubergine, and white highlights on the inner eye sockets made a comeback too.

Whether it’s an expressive halo of black shadow and liner, a proud pop of intense colour or a gentle and pretty wash of gorgeous bronze, chocolate and copper, there is definitely going to be a look (or many looks) that you will love this autumn.

The Ever-Seductive Smoky Eye

One of the looks that never quite seems to fade from fashion is the dark, sexy, smoky eye, so it makes sense to give this one a go and add it to your makeup repertoire (if you haven’t already.) Make the look yours by investing in the Christian Dior 5 Couleurs Couture Colours & Effects Eyeshadow Palette. This stunning, 5-colour kit gives a professional smoky eyes effect with a host of finishes, including matte, satiny, iridescent and ultra-shimmery. The quality of the eyeshadow is evident when you use it, it is extremely blendable and smooth with a “second skin” effect.

Christian Dior 5 Couleurs Couture Colours & Effects Eyeshadow Palette

Grab a Variety of Looks in One Palette

To tap into the rock n’ roll look, the rainbow effect, as well as the aubergine wings, the natural one shade or the pretty coppery eyes, you can’t go wrong with the versatile palette available from Shu Uemura – aptly named “I love my Shu Shu Palette”, which you can achieve all these looks with this limited edition palette of 7 gorgeous shades, that can be used to be spot on with all the autumn trends! The 7 eye colours combine textures of pearl, metallic, iridescent, metallic and matte as well as a bonus “glow on pink” blush. Get yourself some fuchsia, pale pink, purple, eggplant, copper, dark green and lavender happiness and indulge the full spectrum of your creativity!

Shu Uemura I Love My Shu Shu Palette (Yazbukey For Shu Uemura)

Blue-Eyed Bombshell

Spring and summer saw us all donning an elegant navy shadow, and blue is still the bomb in autumn, except the shade has moved on to a bolder, brighter blue. This is a great, fresh look with the pop of colour really making a statement. Make your statement an even better one with the awesome formulation of Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow that glides on and stays crease-proof and budge-proof all day long. What’s more, it doubles up as an eyeliner if you use the hard angle definer brush. Grab the “Blue My Mind” shade for a hard-working product and update your makeup look this autumn. 

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow

So, move with the times and don’t be dictated too – choose the look that rocks your world and enjoy being you!
