The Mondays

Due to daylight savings and the Mondays, my undereye circles are making me look like a panda (I do love these creatures!).  My ultimate rescuer are two products - Loreal Visible Lift CC eye cream in a light shade than my skin tone and Shiseido Perfect Hydrating BB Cream.  Today I was tempted to put the BB Cream all over my face but decided it wasn't worth it.   I later the Shiseido BB Cream over the CC eye cream for more natural effects.

Directions: use roller to put CC eye cream across undereye area.  Use fingers to gently pat onto area.  Use fingers to lightly pat BB Cream on top.  Use sparingly.

Where to Buy:  Loreal can be purchased in any major drugstore and pharmacies., Target.   Shiseido is available in major department stores, Sephora, Amazon

Shiseido Anessa Perfect Gel Sunscreen

Last year's trip to Tokyo yielded a new find on sunscreen.  I discovered that Shiseido Anessa brand has a BB cream tinted sunscreen called Perfect Gel Sunscreen.  It's only available in two tint so I selected the darker shade (Japanese girls tend to be whiter) to try.  

I used the Shiseido Anessa Perfect GEl sunscreen on my Jan/Feb trip to Hawaii.  I was going for the all natural look, including under-eye coverage.   I have to say that the tinted sunscreen works pretty well.  It's as thick as regular BB Cream (I currently use one for under-eye circles from Shiseido) yet feels light enough for daily usage.  I liked the fact that if I needed a bit of coverage, I can use this combo and skip a step.

Directions: after morning routine, spread all over face for tinted coverage.

Where to Buy: any drugstores in Japan, Amazon, eBay
