This was originally from several years ago when I first operated Joseibi.com as an Asian beauty online store. If you are new to Asian skincare and makeup, you may find this useful!

Did you panic when you receive a product from Joseibi.com and the date on the product has already passed? Not sure what a Charmzone Control Cream is? In general, the naming of many typical Japanese/Korean beauty products differs from the products produced in North America. Read on to find out more.

The Laneige fall 2010 makeup look is fairly traditional: a little bit of smoky purple shadow and nude lips. But does any of this matter when it is Song Hye Kyo, who, by now, must be the longest serving spokesmodel for Laneige, who models the look?

How refreshing not seeing yet another dark rimmed eye and purple lip for Fall 2010! You can always count on the Japanese brands. Not all of us are into the smoky eye look and it’s nice to have options for fall and still look trendy and chic.

Although the new fashion trend for fall 2010 is camel colored jackets and animal prints, it looks like Dior will go the traditional route – smoky eyes and purple shades. Yes, it’s pretty, but I was hoping for something slightly different, since the new smoky eyes are less intense (with brown shades rather than black and purples), but Dior is still Dior, and for most people, fall is still about purple and grays.

After reviewing all the makeup coming out for this fall, the Paul & Joe Beaute Collection Sparkles really tops the list. I am always eagerly awaiting their new limited edition products and they never disappoint. Have you ever seen lipsticks shaped like a cat? It’s just too ingenious not to share!

Everything sounds highly promising – from the packaging (which is made from renewable sources) to the zero parabens, mineral oils and all those nasties – but sometimes I get a feeling that all natural may not really work when it comes to stubborn skin conditions such as freckles! Anyway, after 40 pads, I didn’t see any improvements with my freckles at all, but after each use I did notice that the pads – made with fruit acids – did a great job of unclogging my pores.
