I've not tried the Lancome cushion which I've heard so much about, but there are certainly many out there to experiment with, and my personal favorite is from Laneige. You can probably order them online, but shade matching might be tricky.

Walking through the airport on the trip back home, I felt a bit like Santa with his huge bag of toys and treats! LOL<br /><br />Let's see, here are some of the standouts I got: I purchased the special summer and fall collections from Three, Suqqu, and Addiction as well as Addiction's beautiful 5th Anniversary Palette. I also got things from brands that we have in the US but that are "Asian Exclusives"--things like Guerlain's Météorites Aquarella and some beautiful gift sets from SKII and Clé de Peau. I also picked up a lot of individual products like Three's outstanding Flash Pencil Eyeliners and various other products from different brands. I looked at Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée, but couldn't get past the too cutesy packaging.<br /><br />I bought my very first Addiction eyeshadows from Ichibankao, but between the rediculous markup and shipping charges to the US, it made for an extremely expensive purchase. Since I live in the Los Angeles vicinity, I have easy access to an incredible variety of outstanding brands and so I'm just not willing to pay exorbitant prices for items that are being purchased blind. I'd really love to see Addiction and possibly Three come to the US, though. I think they'd do very well here.Eileennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-29995924156708088142015-04-07T18:12:11.421+02:002015-04-07T18:12:11.421+02:00Great article! thank you for showing your favorite...Great article! thank you for showing your favorites!

I'm an interesting hybrid of olive, Greek skin that loves the sun and bronzing up but I've been recently following some Asian trends. Not all agree with me, but the ones that do, Gosh, am I loving them at the moment! BB cremes or a white CC cream on the face - what could be more natural for a day to day look :). And I can't wait till BB cushions make their way here, I could so get addicted (have only tried Lancome's cushion foundation; did not love this one, but loved the idea of a cushion products in general!)Eleni Papadakinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-76801620715142987152015-04-06T17:59:53.643+02:002015-04-06T17:59:53.643+02:00Yes you're so right about how our trends are e...Yes you're so right about how our trends are exactly opposite when it comes to foundation matching.
