Primavista is a Japanese brand created by Sofina, one of the big cosmetic companies in Japan (and one of the best!).

Primavista is focused on base products; primers, concealers, foundations and powders. I have been completely dying to try something from their range (but nervous as to whether I could match my skin up to the right shade) because I was confident their range would be high quality.

Finally, I got a chance to try their Keep & Reset Powder Compact:

I have a trillion powders (well ok, more like, 18) and I am extremely fussy about what I will use on my face day to day. I hate the dusty face look so will generally forgo powder altogether, although that’s not a good idea as I get oily in the day.

There is a pretty decent brush included with the compact:

I prefer compact powders over loose, they’re just easier to use and carry around with me if I start sweating profusely.

This powder also has an added bonus of containing SPF15.

Now, there are 2 sections to this powder…

The most famous Oxygen Mask I own is the Bliss triple oxygen facial mask which is lovely. I had to buy this Missha (Korean brand!) Super Aqua Detox Enzyme mask because it also works on the technology of ‘oxygen’ to cleanse the skin.

This mask, like the Bliss Triple Oxygen, also bubbles up slightly on the skin and leaves the complexion brighter and detoxed. At around £10 on eBay including shipping, it’s more affordable that the Bliss mask.

In it’s packaging:

I am really liking Missha at the moment, although it’s not my favourite Korean brand (which is Skinfood followed by Etude House).

Super Aqua mask is like a thick mousse with a dense texture. It’s white with yellow beads in it which is supposed to be the enzymes. It is also soothing and hydrating, as well as brightening.

To use, wash your face first and dry. Then apply the mask, making sure that you massage it so the capsules break. Then, leave for 3-5 minutes as the formula bubbles up, and rinse off. The mask tingles and tickles without stinging when it’s on the skin.

To demonstrate how brightening the formula is:

eBay is such a great place for make up bargains! I picked up these two Paul & Joe Lip Glosses (they have been repackaged recently so look slightly different to the new ones) in Galaxie (a silver with glitter) and Passion (a juicy sheer red with glitter).

I can never get enough of Paul & Joe packaging:

I’m glad that Paul & Joe is easier to purchase these days, on various retail outlets. The silver one, Galaxie is sheer and glittery and not quite as unflattering as one would imagine.

Here is the brush applicator – it’s quite solid so I personally smoushed (that’s a technical term) it down to soften it up:

Passion on the other hand looks far more pigmented, and is a deep juicy red infused with sparkle. It reminds me of jam here:
