Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
Since I reviewed items from Nude Skincare in 2008 and 2009, the lineup of this UK-based skincare brand has changed considerably. As the brand keeps the number of products relatively small, quite a few products from the original lineup have been replaced or discontinued. Currently, Nude Skincare carries four moisturizers, and today I am reviewing Replenish Daily Moisturiser Omega 6 & 9.

Launched in 2005, Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate, part of the brand’s Dermatologist Solutions range, is one of the brand’s best-selling products. With 10.5% vitamin C, it is billed as a potent anti-wrinkle treatment. Today I am taking a closer look at this product.

It seems that whitening ranges continue to be big businesses in Asia, and the springtime is when most of the whitening ranges from both Asian and western beauty brands (which develop whitening ranges exclusively for the Asian market) bring out new products. From daily skincare items to treatment products and from ultra-high SPF sunscreens to full base-makeup routines (from primer to loose powder), whitening ranges have been getting more and more extensive.

Shiseido’s Anessa is one of the most popular suncare ranges in Japan. The range features sunscreens (including one designed for babies), foundations, and a BB cream, all of which offer high levels of protection against UVA and UVB rays. The range also includes cleansers formulated to remove high-factor sun protection.
Currently, in Japanese cosmetics, the labels indicating the strengths of UVA protection are PA+, PA++, and PA+++. From January 2013, as a result of the advancement of UVA protection technology in Japan, the Japan Cosmetic Industry Association will introduce PA++++, an even higher level of UVA protection.
Anessa’s spring/summer 2013 suncare collection, which will be released in Japan on February 21st, features items with the PA++++ UVA-protection level. The collection includes (from left to right in the photo above):
