Hey guys, it's me Mimei :)
Welcome to Mi-Make
Today I'm going to look back on my faves from 2012
Makeup and stuff, I mean!
I kinda wanna show you EVERYTHING I loved
But I've probably forgotten some things :3
First of all, my fave foundation
This is the Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation
I really liked this one and used it ALL up :)
Although the colour is not perfectly-perfect for my super pale skin
It's a really good foundation for Autumn and Winter
Because it has pretty good coverage and it LASTS
Next up BB Cream
Japanese Summer is SUPER hot and humid
so I usually use BB cream in Summer
Here's my fave
This is Dr. Ci:Labo BB Perfect Cream Light
Actually, in my collab vid with Micaela and Kat
Micaela mentioned this BB Cream
so if you wanna hear more about it check that out :)
I really love this BB cream :)
Here's another one
Etude House's Precious Mineral BB Cream
This is really affordable so if you're looking for a good BB Cream for cheap then check it out :)
The only thing is it doesn't really last THAT long
but I quite like it (hard to find bb creams that suit my skin tone!)
I always get these comments on my vids...
YOU HAVE UGLY DARK CIRCLES OMG!#0`
Actually it's a side effect of having super-pale skin
I got it from my momma~
So I can't really help that I have them
But I decided I should try harder to cover them lol
And I tried out this Revlon Colorstay Under Eye Concealer
Annnd I really like it :)
It works really well on under-eye circles
This is the powder I pretty much ALWAYS use
Maybelline Pure Glow Mineral Powder in Lucent (01)
The great thing for me is that it's very translucent
so I don't have to worry about the pigmentation not matching my skin tone
Aside from which it's a great powder at a reasonable price
Let's start with eyebrows!
This is K-Palette's Lasting 2Way Eyebrow
It has a liquid liner
And then a powder to fill in the brows and set the liquid
Recently I've been using it everyday
And one more K-Palette product
Real Lasting 24h Eyeliner
This is brown, but I use black as well
Next up, my fave eyelash curler
I used to use an pretty inexpensive eyelash curler
and to be honest I almost never used it
But after buying this one that all changed
Of course it's the famous Shu Uemura eyelash curler
It TOTALLY lives up to its reputation
I love how it just curls your eyelashes perfectly in one go
As for mascara
I kinda feel like I wanna step out of my mascara comfort zone and try a lot more
So if you have a recommendation please let me know!
I think my fave from last year was
this Lash Exte mascara from Maybelline
Which I've actually been repurchasing for over 2 years I think
It has a white base and then a black topcoat
This really makes your natural lashes look like falsies
Of course this Urban Decay Primer Potion is amazing
but you can't buy Urban Decay products easily in Japan
so I'm going to show one more option
This is the Canmake Eyeshadow Base
It's really cheap and it's pretty good!
My fave eyeshadow was.......
of course Naked 2 from Urban Decay
which I received as a gift from a friend
I love the combination of matte and sheer shadows
the pigmentation is amazing
and you can really, seriously use it everyday. Perfect.
I seriously use this everyday.
You can basically do lots with it. woohoo~~
But I want to show a few more shadows
things that my viewers can actually get in Japan
This is a Majolica Majorca Illuminator Palette
basically perfect for an everyday look
There's a white glittery cream shadow
and then a few shades of brown
So basically great for simple everyday looks.
Here's one more from Majolica Majorca
This one has colours you don't really find in Japanese drug stores
It's nicely pigmented and basically great for trying out trend makeup or party makeup
Before last year I wasn't really that into lipsticks
but I got the chance to try a lot of them this year and fell in love!
I loved these Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains from Revlon
I already mentioned these but in the end my faves were Honey and Smitten
But if you're watching this from overseas you probably have a LOT more colours to choose from
Japan only has 6!
Smitten is a little dark for daily use but I like it!
Next up Bourjois Paris' Rouge Edition lipsticks
The whole collection is pretty great
But I really like this neon pink, number 8
The colour is really amazing and I really love the way these apply
This is number 18, a dark plum
It really works well with pale skin!
OK I already raved about these
Maybelline Baby Lips the American version
It's way bigger than the Japanese ones
and it smells absolutely edible
and it's just got a nice tint of colour
Now I'm going to talk a tiny bit about nails and stuff
This is a recommendation for lazy people like me
Bourjois Paris' Magic Nail Polish Remover
Which claims to remove polish in one second!!
But the truth is it isn't REALLY one second
BUT this is SO USEFUL.
It only takes about a minute to remove all your polish
and involves no cotton buds. So yeah - recommended!
Here's a set from Etude House's Christmas specials
I was really surprised because this red is SO pretty
and just one coat looks gorgeous
And Golden Bell which is a beautifully glittery gold sparkle polish
I'm using this all the time - it's so pretty!
Firework - full of pretty colours so perfect for Christmas
Lastly!! Body spray!
If you like very sweet scents then I think you'll like it
Cotton Candy Fantasy
The packaging is really cute
And basically what I do is put it in my bag
and if I'm feeling a bit down, or exhausted, I pull it out
and spray it and....do some strange interpretive dance moves
and feel refreshed!
The scent is pretty strong though (especially for Japan)
but I really love the childish smell
FINISHED!!!!
I'd love to know what products you loved last year!!!
Please tell me in the comments or a vid response or anywhere really!
Thank you so much for watching this all the way!
I think this is my longest vid ever D:
