For Laughs

I was looking for some inspiration online as always... And I came across this video...

It's a parody of Michelle Phan's videos, done by a guy who

a) Is surprisingly good at makeup in a way

b) kinda cute, that I think of it.


I thought it was pretty funny. ENJOY!

Shiseido Pureness Oil-Control Blotting Paper Review

Time for another review!

I forgot to include this little extra in my Shiseido Pureness Review. This review is on the Oil Control Blotting sheets (Pictured)








For about 15 dollars, you get a little plastic booklet that hold a box of oil blotting papers for your face. They also leave a light powder on your skin to prevent more oil from showing up. After using on oily skin, you can see where the oil got soaked because you can kind of see through the paper. It reminds me of this part from the Simpsons when Homer is trying to gain weight.

The part that reminds me of it is about 0:50, where Bart rubs a burger on a wall and it turns clear. ^^

I've been using these for a while, they fit discreetly in your purse or pocket, and can be used over makeup without messing it up! If you have oily skin, I strongly recommend these, as well as combination skin like mine. If you're more dry, then these won't do much except maybe dry out more.

Shiseido Tsubaki Shampoo Review

Hello~

I was shopping at my local Japanese supermarket, Mitsuwa and came across this shampoo and conditioner that I had heard about online by Shiseido. As a user of one of Shiseido's other shampoos, Aquair Moist Hair Pack (Which I have used for about 3 years now, and LOVE it), I had heard of this Tsubaki shampoo and conditioner which contains Camellia (Tsubaki) flower oil.

This is the Tsubaki shampoo and conditioner. Very pretty bottles meant to resemble the flower itself.




But if you liked the other one, why the change?

I was an avid user of the Aquair because it was VERY good for moisturizing, and for a long time I was horrible to my hair. Always bleaching, coloring, chemically bombing it to hell, and the shampoo managed to keep it soft! Now, my colored hair has all grown out to its natural glory and I wanted to try something not specifically meant for color treated hair (although this could work too!)

It says "Shining" on the bottle, and that is what my hair does when I wash it. Shine, shine, SHINE. ^_^ It also smells VERY pretty, a gentle floral scent. And my hair is really soft too! Soft, smells good, and looks healthy.

It is however, a bit pricey compared to drugstore shampoos. A decent sized bottle with a pump will rum about 12-19 dollars each for the shampoo and conditioner depending on where you get it.

If you live in the Chicago area, you can get it at Mitsuwa Marketplace in Arlington Heights.

If you don't live near a Japanese shop, there is a wonderful site that sells the Tsubaki AND the Aquair, should you want to give it a try.

Another side note: the Aquair shampoo is sulfate-free, the Tsubaki is not. No wonder my hair color stayed well when using it. ^_^

I rate the Tsubaki Shining Shampoo and Conditioner 9.5/10 (-.5 points because it has sulfates in it)
