"The cat is beauty and the beast, a baffling blend, a wicked feast.”
From the LA haul this summer comes a very ewenique item: the Spring Leaf Lanolin Cream with Placenta Extract and Vitamin E. Technically, this isn’t an Asian Beauty product, but I did obtain it from an Asian Beauty store, where it was highly featured. I mean, with an unusual ingredient like lanolin and a placenta (whose placenta?) it fits perfectly into my beauty routine. Except for one thing….
Two weeks ago, I bused my way up to NY to see Roxy Renee and film MOAR YouTube vids. Given our love for Roxy–our blog mascot and muse–it was only natural that Renee and I created a video starring her.
The nice folks at Tatcha sent me a care package out of the blue (har har.) The number of packages, big and small, at work are making my banking bosses side-eye. Whatevs. T’is the season for brown packages, bauss. But thank you Tatcha for the nice surprise below. I will commence reviewing that ultra luxurious hand cream: the Tatcha Indigo Soothing Silk Hand Cream. They even included a sweet hand-written note.

Since the Northeast winter is coming, bringing with it frosty bitter winds and white walkers (aka frozen homeless people) I am preparing my lips for the apoca-lips (har har.) One of my recent favorite finds is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, acquired at oo35mm of course.
We were browsing at New Kam Man in Chinatown (NY) last weekend when–of course–this cat mask by SNP caught our eye. Thankfully, because I’m overloaded with sheet masks as it is, they were available individually, so I picked up one along with a rabbit mask ($3.25 or $3.50 apiece).
These were part of a (modest) haul from oo35mm and New Kam Man. Unh, I love NY for Asian beauty shopping. (But not as much as I love LA! Renee and I are going to break the bank when we’re there together during Christmas. 😉 Just you watch…)

Yesterday while in Chinatown, NY waiting for Amy and Evelyn to arrive for dinner at the local authentic Chinese cuisine eating hole, I *accidentally* wandered into oo35mm and The Yeon and came out with this Tony Moly mask made of kelp. Yeah, as in, the mask sheet itself is MADE of seaweed. I was so intrigued. Is it deep sea kelp that mermaids make their skirt out of? Is it that annoying green plastic sheet stuff that tangle up on your legs after a storm in Miami Beach? Look at that delicious slick bouncy seaweed in that bowl on the package!

When Renee visited me a few weeks ago, she brought along a new toy: the Sephora Favorites Give Me More Lip “lip wardrobe” ($59). It’s a limited edition/holiday 2015 release containing 15 lip colors (4 full size) ranging in colors, formulas, and finishes: from tinted balms to matte liquid lipsticks and from plumping glosses to vampy creams.
We decided to swatch them with Indya (Bella Noir Beauty) so that you could see how they looked on our fair, medium, and dark skin tones. We’re all warm-toned, but I’m NC15, Renee is Not Chanel 35, and Indya is NC50.
Here’s a 2-minute vid where we model (using that word very liberally) every single color.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention
I hope this cat has nine lives because I’m going to wear this bag to death.
