Biteki Tenth Anniversary May 2011 1(p. 57, Biteki, May 2011)

.

I still remember my reaction upon seeing the very first issue of Biteki in 2001. “A magazine just about beauty!” I exclaimed to myself. I became a fan ever since. I have purchased every single issue so far, and I certainly think Biteki is one of the best sources of information on Japanese beauty products (and beauty products in general).

Over the years, there have been many beautiful covers, which reflect the aesthetics of the magazine and the makeup trends. Below are some of my favorite covers:

Skincare Review: SUQQU Reset Cleansing Oil & Reset Cleansing Cream

by PJ on Thursday, May 12, 2011

in -SUQQU, 2010 Fall, all about Japanese cosmetics, skincare, skincare - cleansing/toning

SUQQU Reset Cleansing Oil Reset Cleansing Cream 1

.

As I mentioned, SUQQU went through a major revamp in Japan last year and many products were discontinued and replaced. Earlier I reviewed Blend Color Eyeshadow in 01 Kakitsubata and Creamy Glow Lipsticks in 07 Asasuou, 09 Hanarenga, and 18 Karakurenai, and today I am focusing on two of the new skincare items.

Reset Cleansing Oil and Reset Cleansing Cream were released in Japan last September (as were the new makeup items from SUQQU). Along with Eye Makeup Remover R, they are the new makeup removing products from the brand. (Extra Off Cleansing Gel, Extra Off Cleansing Milk, Extra Off Cleansing Cream, and Eye Makeup Remover are no longer available in Japan.)

This is certainly by no means a timely update. I almost always have quite a few refills of my trusted Shiseiso ZA Two-Way Foundation and I wasn’t immediately aware of the new versions until I was told about them by a friend some time ago.
