When I needed a backup sunscreen I tried the Kose Sekkisei Sun Protector N and it worked well enough

February 21, 2013 Paris B 29 Comments

UPDATE! I’m revising my view. This one has been relegated to No. 3 after this other one 😉

I go through sunscreens like water. I’ve gone through 2 or is it 3 bottles of my favourite Shiseido Perfect Protector sunscreen and my wallet was killing me! So, when a friend told me to help her pick up a bottle of the Kose Sekkisei Sun Protector N on my last trip to Hong Kong (where it was cheaper than locally) I picked up a bottle for myself.

I’d heard a lot about the Kose Sekkisei range which I hear is terribly popular, but I’d only used their cleansing oil which I don’t remember being very impressed with. I believe its the lotion that gets lots of raves but this is the first time I’m trying anything from the brand.

What I like is the high SPF50+ PA+++ rating. I rarely use anything below SPF50 but that’s my personal choice. I know of people who can’t tolerate SPF sunscreens or who just don’t believe in anything over SPF30. I’ve had people tell me that SPF15 is more than sufficient but all I’d say is I’ll agree to disagree on this 🙂

After about 2 months of using this Kose Sekkisei Sun Protector N, would I replace my Shiseido sunscreen with this one?

November 21, 2012 Paris B 49 Comments

budget buys under RM50

Some of you may remember that a while ago, I did a post where I picked 10 things I loved that cost under RM50. I had good fun doing it, because it reminds me that even as I traipse amongst the hallowed beauty halls of department store beauty, there are some gems to be found in the pharmacies, and for a good price. I hope to share my budget beauty faves with you so this will be a recurring series, as it were 🙂

Every now and again, I’ll pick a couple of my favourite budget beauty products and share them with you. Today, I pick out 5 more items I love. With gift giving season fast approaching, these wallet friendly items make great gifts, won’t break the bank and importantly, they WORK! 🙂

Insta-Updates: August Empties includes mascara!

August 31, 2012 Paris B 27 Comments

I honestly thought I’d only ever finish up anything or have any empties to share once every 2 months. It turns out that in recent times, I’m finishing up or tossing stuff as I go along so we actually have empties for July and now August!

This month’s empties have been a bit of a wallet buster and in the process I’ve also gotten rid of some mascara, one of which has served me well and the others of which I wasn’t terribly crazy about. Here’s a quick run down of them.
