I love Baby Pink! I love the brand so much! Like many Japanese pharmacy brands(shelf-top/budget) the packaging and concept is so cute and appealing. The target concept is pretty much for any girl who wants to take care of herself and just baby soft skin/appearance. At least that's what I think the concept is all about. If not then, then the model baby they use on their products is really cute!
I honestly was browsing online beauty shops and rekindled my love for Baby Pink. I once owned their eye jellies(which isn't sold anymore online) and those were in cute sized tubes that came out in cream shadows. Colours aren't really great that you would wear them to school or to the office as I do believe this brand is aimed mostly for the younger audience with some products that can be for the more mature, like their lip products. I decided to try the Baby Pink Glossy Lip in Orange and Pink. Reading the description, I was thinking of how glossy and watery my lip would turn out. Putting that and the pale orange and pale pink colours made me think of a wonderful lip sensation. Actually, it's just a mere lip balm that could possibly just as great as good old lip smackers. It doesn't taste like anything and it doesn't have that much colour. The colour is there but it's not entirely noticeable. Despite being said, it's cheap(like most of our budget lip balms), it has some colour, it's glossy(yes!), and it's bigger than the average sized chapstick! It's just that awesome! The glossy lip also comes in clear and pale red colour as well.

I received a sample of The Body Shop Chamomile Gentle Eye-Makeup Remover when I bought a couple of body butters. It came in a set with their new collection of makeup. The sound of makeup from The Body Shop didn't sound quite appealing because I didn't think the company did anything better for body since the skincare lines weren't so great. However, I do own one of their discontinued tinted moisturizers and that's awesome. So I guess there are exceptions.
The eye-makeup remover is really gentle on the eyes. It doesn't really exactly says it removes waterproof makeup but I use waterproof and it seems to remove quite well. It's on the same level as the bi/duo oil-like eye makeup removers(from Dior, Lancome, etc..). It removes just like them in the same easy steps. Dampen cotton pad, press on area and gently sweep across. In my opinion, I think it's even better than the bi/duo oil-like eye makeup removers because I'm currently using the Dior one(and I once used the Lancome one) and I am truly tired of the oily substance. I would for sure buy The Body Shop Chamomile Gentle Eye-Makeup Remover in full size once I'm finished my Dior one. They also have a cream eye-makeup remover for waterproof makeup but I honestly wouldn't recommend unless you like using creams to remove makeup. But I don't understand why they would make a waterproof cream one when the non-waterproof one can do it all.

It's been awhile since I've last been here. A whole school year(2 semesters) have gone by and now I've just started a new one. It's been a really long time! I never stopped the compulsive shopping though I would love to review the ones I like sometime. With that being said, I'm still in chef school and I'm doing the culinary management program now. It's been fun studying but as the time of employment comes closer, I am getting a bit scared. Sigh.
I hardly take pictures of myself with makeup on and I hardly ever post those pictures of myself(in makeup) online but I just recently decided to be vain. =)
Eye Makeup:
1) AVANCE Super View Long Mascara
2) DIOR DiorShow Waterproof Mascara in Black
3) Shiseido pN creme shadow in pink sparkle((PK206) - the pN line is no longer available.
Lip:
1) CARGO Lip Gloss Duo in Chattanooga - I left the tin in the car one day and came back to find both colours mixed into one huge blob. Still a great product!
Now one must think that a girl who has so much makeup is still sticking with the basic neutral colours.
