Shiseido International Beauty Fair 2014 -- The Shiseido Way of Skin Care

Hiya, guys!

During the three-day Shiseido International Beauty Fair, two days of which I actually attended, I learned a lot of things about skin care and makeup application.

In particular, I learned (and experienced) from Momoko Ishibashi, senior beauty consultant for Shiseido Japan, the Shiseido Way of doing skin care, which goes something like this:

Step 1. Apply some eye and lip makeup remover onto a cotton pad. Put this damp cotton square on the middle finger, securing it with the two other fingers on the side. Gently remove the eye makeup downwards from the brows to the lashes. Do the same on the other eye.

Tip: If you are wearing mascara, hold the cotton pad into your closed eye for 15 seconds, and then wipe gently downwards. That way, all the mascara, even the fibrous ones, goes off your eyes leaving it clean.

Shiseido International Beauty Fair 2014 -- Day 3

Hiya, guys!

Yesterday I made a rundown of the highlights of Day 1 of the Shiseido International Beauty Fair 2014, featuring Shiseido Japan's senior beauty consultant Momoko Ishibashi (or Momo-san from hereon).

And since I was not around during the second day, we go straight to the third day of the fair.

Day 3

I still have one more subject left before the final exams are over, but then I decided to take a break from the two-days-straight review and headed out to Megamall for the third day of the beauty fair.

There's the cupcakes and drinks stand by Ingrid's Sweet Haven. Can I just say -- the chocolate cupcakes are so heavenly, it was to die for! And the red velvet cupcake was also delish with the cream cheese frosting that came with it.

The green-tinged concoction on the juice canister turns out to be made from moringa, an extract derived from malunggay. Because the moringa extract is odorless and tasteless, the flavor was enhanced with oranges, lemons and a little sugar. The result was a healthy and refreshing drink!

Shiseido International Beauty Fair 2014 -- Day 1

Hiya, guys!

Ever had this feeling of admiring a brand so much that you wanted to know that brand better?

Well, I did have that feeling when I attended the Shiseido International Beauty Fair at the Mega Atrium at SM Megamall last weekend.

You see, I've known Shiseido as that sweet-smelling cream that my mother used to have when I was a kid. Now that Japanese beauty brand is re-introducing itself to the younger set (the so-called yuppies), it's high time that I get to know Shiseido better, in my own terms.

For this event, the folks at Shiseido Philippines brought in Momoko Ishibashi, one of Shiseido Japan's senior beauty consultants. She leads the beauty workshops held twice a day during the three-day beauty fair.
