3rd: Helen Mirren (Vivienne Westwood)

How does she do it? She almost always looks great on the red carpet. This regal Vivienne Westwood gown goes well with all the aura that she has. I like the puff sleeves and the color of the dress suits her. I usually like her hair a little longer, but I think the style complements the gown.

Sofina Aube Couture Website February 2011 1(image from www.sofina.co.jp/aube)

Have a look at an image of Sofina Aube Couture‘s upcoming Designing Beauty Compact on Glam Japan. The limited-edition palette, to be released in April, will be available in four variations (pink, red, beige, and rose). Each variation will feature a lip color, a blusher and a two-toned pressed powder. A powder/blusher brush and a lip brush will also be included.

(The pressed powder reminds me of Sofina Primavista’s Face Powder Keep & Reset. One section of the powder (the off-white section) is specifically for setting the foundation and the other is designed for touch-ups.)

Muji Mild Oil Cleansing 1

.

As I have mentioned, RMK Cleansing Oil is the makeup removing product that I have been using. For many years I have been enjoying using it and I am very glad that it is available in the UK. But, a couple of months ago, while I was at Muji looking for some storage units, I decided to try their Cleansing Oil. (The Japanese name of the product, as you see on the front label, is Mild Oil Cleansing.)

Compared with RMK Cleansing Oil, there are some noticeable differences:
