Kanebo Coffret d’Or has been releasing quite colorful eyeshadows in the last few seasons.

Today I will be sharing my thoughts on 01 Golden Modern.

I have been generally happy with my skincare routine in the past few years. However, occasionally and mostly out of curiosity, I want to try something different. It would usually be a product that is from a brand/line I am interested in and doesn’t have any obvious skin irritant. One such product that I have been using is Hadalabo‘s Gokujyun Premium Lotion.

When it comes to summer makeup, a lot of the focus is on nail colors. If you follow Japanese cosmetics regularly, you will probably notice that this is especially true in Japan. Summer nail color releases from Japanese brands tend to cover wide varieties of colors and finishes, and I love looking at all the gorgeous shades.

These are the shades that I personally like (from rich turquoise to sparkling gold and from pastel lilac to vibrant tangerine), and I hope you will spot a few that you fancy as well! (The dates below indicate the release dates of the items (featured in this post) in Japan.)
