Shiseido is a Japanese make up brand which exudes style,simplicity and pride.

This beautiful Modern Matte Powder lipstick arrived a while ago in the post and I forgot all about it until yesterday when I had a play with it.

The texture is so light yet creamy and moisturising, you’d forget you were wearing lipstick at all and that is what the Shiseido creators want you to feel!

You wear the lipstick colour instead of the colour wearing you.

The colour I’m wearing is 501 Night Life it’s RRP €31 for the Shiseido ModernMatte Powder Lipstick and you can get it in Arnotts or in Pharmacies nationwide.

Last year I was privileged to be invited to so many product launches and one stands out because it was a new brand to me!

It Cosmetics!

I had read about their CC cream foundation and had been meaning to try it when bam I got an invitation to preview their products and see their Christmas Collection.

Sitting in a boardroom setting surrounded by beauty bloggers and journalists I was like a magpie drawn to the sparkly new make up range and listened intently to the fabulous voices of Caolan Kelly and Mixed Gem Beauty AKA Rose Gallagher demos and play time with the products! I couldn’t wait until I got to try the foundation and I have been wearing it everyday since.

The bye bye under eye full coverage anti-aging waterproof concealer is also a revelation. And the consistency is thick to you only need a tiny amount to cover those dark circles.
