Kanebo T'estimo Essence Pure Rouge

So, a few weeks ago my big aunt gave me this brand new
 Kanebo T'estimo  Essence Pure Rouge in RD-139.


If you do not know, T'estimo is one of the downline of Kanebo's too .

The packaging looks so pretty in this slim silver classy casing.

RD-139



Ahh how gorgeous.

Pinkish red with that slight shimmer .

Because it's a gift, so I really do not know the exact price.
But I know you can get it at any Kanebo counter at the price more or less around RM80.


Let's get started.


Start off with the naked lips.

Glide it on ! LOVE IT .

Don't forget to wear it with a smile (:
  
It has a super creamy consistency that seriously glides on your lips effortlessly.
And because it's creamy, it doesn't dry out your lips !
Yet however because it's creamy, it doesnt stay on long ( unless you do not eat/drink for hours? )
I'd need to touch-up my lipstick after every meal but I really wouldnt mind honestly.


Besides, the colour is so preeeeeetty !
Not too shimmery nor glossy.
Very suitable for the natural everyday-look.




 Would I repurchase ?
I don't think so. Because it's kinda expensive :/ but I love this product !





* I am a ultra sucker for lipstick now ! I want to buy lipstick every where I go. Oh god.
 Now I'm eyeing for the Revlon Matte Red lipstick in Really Red. I NEED TO GET IT.

My daily skin care with Kanebo

Requested by an instagramer, today's post will be on my daily skin care .



First of all, no one is paying me to do all these review. All the products I'm using is based own my own preference.


Alright let's get started. 
Basically, I can't stress enough the importance of daily skin care. 
I mean a toner, moisturizer, and sunblock are basically the 3 utmost important products that you should apply every single day after you've washed your face.
It doesn't have to be Kanebo, any brand that you prefer is good enough (:


For me, consider myself lucky, my big aunt introduced me to Kanebo since I was in secondary school.
 So since then, I've been using them until now.


 I'm using the Kanebo Blanchir Whitening Series with the nice red bottle as it's suitable for people with sensitive skin too.
( I do not have sensitive skin but I am on the oily side )
I can't tell you how good it is because I've never really tried using other products, but what I can tell you is that it doesn't gives me breakouts, and it keeps my skin clean. 


Don't get me wrong.
I do not own the perfect skin and I do still have pimples popping out once in a while 
 but I think my complexion is pretty alright as it's consider quite healthy.


Here's a picture of me taken a week ago with no filter at all.

 
 And here's the close-up if you can't see clearly enough ( Sorry for my unglam hungry eating look , heh )



 Okay enough of the talking . We shall get started .


In the morning


Step 1 : Toner

Basic fuctions of a toner : shrinks pores, gives your skin a refreshing and  balanced pH.
Pour some of the toner on a cotton pad ( roughly a size of a 20 coin will do )


Found this on the Kanebo website. So dap the cotton pad on your face according to the picture above. That's how I'd do mine everyday.


 Step 2 : Moisturizer



Pour a small amount of the moisturizer on your hand, and apply to your face in the same manner as how you do your toner.

Step 3 : Sunblock
Some moisturizer comes with UV protection, some does not. Mine doesn't so I'll always apply a layer of sunblock to protect my skin from UV rays. If I'm not mistaken, mine comes with a SPF of 30+
Mine comes with a greenish base which is for the extra whitening skin effect. 







And you're done with your skin care in the morning. 
You can proceed with your Primer / BB cream / Liquid foundation .




At night


After being out for the entire day, your skin will definitely be filled with dirts and make-ups and you do not want to go to bed just like that because it will surely gives you breakouts or acnes if you Do Not remove them properly.


Step 1 : Make up remover

I really like this make up remover because it feels like a lotion. You just have to rub it in your skin, then mix with a few drops of water, and wash it off like a facial cleanser. But I'm abit kiasu so I'll wash it another time with my other facial foam.

Step 2 : Toner

Dap toner on your face after you've finish washing your face just like in the morning.




After that, you may continue with your night mask or whatever mask you have.
So basically that's how I take care of my skin everyday.
Hope you've learnt something. 
Good luck (:
