Collected swatches from #KANEBO’s new 2020 #iHope makeup releases!

Japanese luxury line Kanebo has revamped their entire makeup line this year, and did a complete 180 from conservative “OL” (office lady) aesthetic to something completely fresh and vibrant.

Besides including funky mixers and pop shades in their buttery N-rouge lipstick line, they’ve also added interesting multipurpose cream sticks that promise to be usable on eyes, cheeks, lips, anywhere you like.

Considering lipsticks cost about S$60 a pop, it’s not easy to explore the line if you’re shopping online during the current pandemic. So here are all the color products (aside from basic liner pencils) swatched for your reference!

1-Minute Series: “Super Blue” Charlotte Tilbury Colour Coded Eye Palette Try-On!

1 of 4 quick eye looks trying on the new #charlottetilbury Luxury Colour Coded Eye Palettes! All testing is done without primer, on bare lids.

Today I’m wearing #SuperBlue for the first time, and this is the quad for dark/brown eyes. Possibly my favorite of the entire lot because those blues are stunning.

The chrome blue takes some building but it DOES build up to a gorgeous metallic even with a brush.

Affordable Colored Lenses: HAPA Kristin Try-On for Dark Eyes

#HAPAKristin is a pretty new #coloredlens brand from Korea with some gorgeous 14.2mm hydrogel lenses designed to work great even on dark eyes. 

The color designs are detailed, natural-looking and very realistic, which is a huge plus since I hate poorly-made lenses that look fake (or downright scary) up close.

Hapa Kristins come in both Daily as well as Monthly boxes, and I was surprised that they matched my Desio and Jill Stuart colored lenses in comfort, but cost so much less. 

Prices start at S$24 or US$19.99 for 10-pack dailies.
