Access 2 Fashion and Journalism 2011 1(event poster from Elevation Networks)

.

I had the honor and pleasure to be invited to the Access² Fashion & Journalism event, which was held on February 22nd in London. As a guest speaker on the journalism panel, I talked about my passion in writing about beauty and my last four years as a blogger. I also offered some advice to those who would like to become bloggers and on-line journalists.

The event was organized by Elevation Networks, and, specifically, its GIFTED Campaign, one of whose aims is to help Arts and Fashion students gain an insight into the field through those in the relevant industries.

One of the things that impressed me the most is the enthusiasm of all the participating students, who were keen to ask questions and talk to the speakers, and I certainly hope they were able to benefit from the event.

Kanebo Lunasol Skin Modeling Eyes Kit Beige Beige Spring Summer 2011 Makeup 1(image/info from www.kanebo-cosmetics.jp/lunasol)

.

On March 23rd, Lunasol will release Skin Modeling Eyes Kit in collaboration with Biteki magazine and makeup artist Masaru Hamada. The limited-edition kit includes Skin Modeling Eyes in 01 Beige Beige (Lunasol’s all-time best-seller) and an original pouch.

Each purchase will also come with a deluxe sample (4g) of Lip Essence (for Day). (The full-size product is 7g.)

Released in spring 2007, Skin Modeling Eyes in 01 Beige Beige (usually referred to simply as Beige Beige by Lunasol fans) has reached a legendary status as an ultimate neutral eyeshadow palette. This is not the first time that Beige Beige is featured in a limited-edition kit. In 2008, it was included in Lunasol’s 10th Anniversary Makeup Palette. Last year, it was part of the brand’s Skin Modeling Eyes Starter Kit.

Elemis Melting Cleansing Gel 1

.

Over the years, I have tried quite a few cleansing oils (and variations of them, such as Clinique’s Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm) from both Japanese and western brands. Overall, except Boots’ Botanics Essential Oil Wash Off Cleanser (which was discontinued), I have not come across a cleansing oil from a western brand that is as good as any of the better ones from Japanese brands.

Launched last month, Melting Cleansing Gel from Elemis is yet another variation of an emulsifying cleansing oil (although it is marketed as a morning/evening cleanser, not a makeup remover).
