Kose Beauty Workshop: Kose Sekkisei Lotion Review and Giveaway!

The first time I across Kose was when I was 18 years where my mum bought her first bottle of Kose Sekkisei Lotion home. Later when I started working, I learnt more about Kose and there are one product which is my all time favourite! Continue reading.. I will tell you more about it!

So far I have not attended any Kose before so when I was invited to attend one last week, I was happy to go go .. to see that if I can pick up few beauty tips. It was conducted in Pavilion by Ms Jo Chow, a Beauty Trainer in Kose.

She said that there are daily basic , daily special and weekly care for everyone.

Kose Sekkisei range is a whitening range which are recommended for people who skin concern on dullness, yellowish, dry, roughness and dark spots. And these people are seeking for translucent, even, brighten, moist balance and smoothen skin.

Japanese & Chinese herbal extracts are the main ingredients for Kose Sekkisei range

Oriental Plant Extracts: Coix Seed Extract effects suchs as increased metabolism, whitening, moisturization and prevention of skin roughness.

Melothria (White Lotus) extract suppress melanin production has whitening effects on the skin.

Angelica Extract have disinfectant, whitening and moisturising effects.

First we need to use Kose Sekkeisei Cleansing Cream (RM 108/140g) to remove all our makeup. And need that much to remove a full face makeup.

When removing face makeup using cleansing cream, Using small circular motions, massage gently into your skin with outward circles. Then dab dry with tissue paper before washing them off. If you have heavy eye makeup & waterproof mascara, you still need to use proper eye makeup remover to clean them. Also I prefer to do double cleansing using facial cleanser after removing makeup.

After that comes the highlight of the day which is the Kose Sekkisei Lotion! This is my favourite lotion and have been using them for a few years!

Kose Sekkisei Lotion texture is very light and if you are going to apply as face lotion, use it directly after cleanser. Pour about 20cent size on the cotton pad before applying it moving upwards and outward.

Mr Osamu Dobashi an International Makeup Artist from Japan gave a detail introduction on Kose Sekkisei Lotion and said that this lotion :-

1) Is created based on a “beautiful translucent skin recipe” containing items carefully selected out of approximately 100 types of oriental plants. A lotion that creates fine-textured, hydrated, translucent skin like snow, using the hydrating power of gentle oriental plant extracts.

2) Balances out the skin’s moisture levels, preventing dullness, roughness, and pimples caused by dryness, as well as redness caused by sunburn from sunlight, or by the sun’s reflection in snowy areas.

3) texture in cloudy white lotion blends instantly into the skin, just like melting snow, creating fine-textured, plump skin. With a refreshing, light sensation, the lotion leaves the surface of the skin feeling silky smooth, yet hydrated. Your skin regains its natural pure translucency down to your pores.

4) Can be used on your face, neck, body & mask.

In total there are 9 benefits in this Kose Sekkisei Lotion

Besides using it as a face lotion do you know you can use it as as lotion mask?

If your face are really dry & you have important event to attend, you can use this lotion to made it as emergency mask as it can boost up 10x moisture immediately by putting on 5-10 mins! You can buy capsule mask from Kose 's counter!

The mask is fully drenched and ready to be put on my face!

It's really soothing to have this mask on, not only instant hydration and face looks brighter after using it!

 After removing the face mask, don't throw it away because you can use the remaining lotion on the mask to massage on my neck, décolletage, hand and arms!

Sekkisei Lotion is available in Malaysia in 2 sizes ( Available in every KOSE counters)

200ml- RM170

360ml –RM260

Note :Once a year on their anniversary, they would be selling a LE bottle of 500ml!

After that don't forget to use Sekkisei Emulsion (RM172/200ml) to lock down moisture on our face. I had this at home but apparently I applied the wrong way. The correct way was to pour the milky moisturiser into a cotton pad before applying it moving upwards and outward so better penetration.

 After that I'm using these few items to touch up!

Kose Sekkisei White BB Cream SPF40 PA+++ in 02

Kose Esprique Melty Fix Cheek in RD400

Kose Glossy Type Lipstick # RD451 Wild Blush

Kose Esprique Eyebrow Pencil in BR-301

After that we get the privilege to try out the new Kose Sekkisei White BB Cream SPF40 PA+++ which comes in 2 shades. It would be available starting April 2014 onwards at RM105 for 30g in all Kose counters in Malaysia.

The texture is creamy and it has a signature Sekkisei scent.  Coverage is medium and it can cover my face redness and spots!

FOTD : Oceanus eye makeup for Heineken Green Room Party

Yesterday I went to this awesome Heineken Green Room party and since the name of the event is GREEN, I decide to have some green colour eyeshadow on my eye makeup.

Let's see what I did ... in that 10 mins makeover since that I am actually going to be late for the event :D


Full face picture

For Face

Youngblood Mineral Primer as base
Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation in PO-03
Lancome Maqui Blanc Miracle Compact Foundation O-03
SkinFood Salmon Darkcircle Concealer Cream
Jill Stuart Blusher in #09 Little Bonquet

For eyes

Urban Decay Primer Portion ( The packaging is peeling and I cant stand it and removed it all away)
Kanebo Lavshuca in BR
Shu Uemura Graceful Bloom Palette
Lunasol palette in #04 Star River

p/s: Pls excuse me for my un-trimmed eyebrow. I gotta to make appointment for that now!

I decided to do a bit of colour mixing and Oceanus is my theme...i.e blue and green would be my main colour. And this is my first time writing down the steps after so long of not doing makeup of the day post, please excuse me if this sounds confusing.

I applied the beige colour from the Lavshuca palette all over my eyelid as a base colour. Then I applied the jungle green from the Shu Uemura palette all over the eyelid lightly and then the dark blue colour from Lunasol palette at the outer corner of the eyes to the middle and start blending in and mix with the jungle green colour. Then I applied the lime colour from the Shu Uemura palette at the inner corner of the eyelid and blend all the way to the middle. To make my eyes looked a bit bigger, I applied a thin line of jungle green colour below my eye lid from outer corner of my eyes to the middle and apply a little bit of lime colour at the lower eyelid from the middle to the inner of the eyes. Last but not least, I applied the white shimmering eyeshadow from Lunasol palette at my eyebrow.

Maybelline Magnum Volum Express Super Film Mascara
Maybelline Hypersharp Liner in Black
Kose Luminous Eyebrow pencil in GY 002

Lips
Maybelline Watershine Collagen Lipgloss in CP21

This is my new love, the colour is nude pink with no shimmer is perfect to pair with heavy eye makeup. This lip gloss has very nice sweet cherry scent and like to use it when the lip gloss is not sticky. Not only the colour of the lip gloss is pigmented, it gives my lips a very glossy look!

I think all my pictures are so exposed (means its too bright) and hence the eye makeup colour don't really show here *heartbroken*


Anyway hope you like this makeup :)

Review : Kose Sofymo White Cleansing Oil

Remember this cleansing oil , I bought it from my Hong Kong trip in early May. And now I finished my 1st bottle and yes I definitely think this cleansing oil deserve a review!!!

I picked up 2 types , one is deep cleansing and one is white.

The one I am reviewing here is the White one (assuming white means for whitening effect.. I cant read Japanese!)

I picked up this from Sasa Hong Kong for HKD45 , which is less than RM20/one bottle for 230ml after reading reviews from the internet before I go for my trip.

This is really affordable when you compare to available at the counter which easily cost RM100 above for 100ml only.

See i use until the last drop!

Pumped in an ample amount , roughly 2 pumps for my face.

From Sasa's website
Kose SOFTYMO White Cleansing Oil is an oil type make-up remover that can remove old keratins and make-up quickly. Orange oil and rice bran oil help to emboss heavy make-up like stubborn water-proof mascara, and remove all your make-up. It contains job's tears ingredient to keep moisture in your skin, so you will not feel a stiff or dry skin after use.

How to use cleansing oil

Step 1: Spread generously on your face and massage the cleansing oil on your skin with your dry hands. Massage softly on your eyes area if you have your eyeshadow and waterproof mascara on. Massage for around 1-2 minutes until the oil is evenly spread on your face.

Step 2:Add in some water and continue massaging. Repeat the steps for 2-3 times. And the cleansing oil will emulsify and turn into white milky substance.

Step 3 : Rinse your face with water ! And hula you are done !

Recommendation :Always double cleanse your face even though cleansing oil removes everything. I always follow with double cleansing with my Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Cleansing Foam W to make sure all residues are completely remove off from my face.

Yes its just so simple just 3 simple steps!

And extremely suitable for lazy people because cleansing oil take off everything!

My SAY on Kose Sofymo White Cleansing Oil
The reason why I like this one compared to other brands because this gives me a really clean & comfortable feeling. And it not thick in texture although its oil and it does not clog my pores at all. It cleanse every little trace of makeup I have on my face, include my stubborn waterproof mascara.

Also the best thing about this is, the cleansing oil does not stings my eyes (I'm quite careless that often the oil get into my eyes). This cleansing oil is gentle and works perfectly fine for my sister who has really serious sensitive skin. Whether or not it gives whitening effect, I am not too sure.

Last but not least, this 230ml bottle last me around 3 months (sometimes I opt for my Biore Cleansing Oil in Cotton) and its only cost around RM20. I highly recommending this because that this is super affordable and does the job of cleaning properly and does not dry up my skin.

Unfortunately this is not available in Malaysia and perhaps next time when you are going to Hong Kong, remember to buy this to try !

This Kose Sofymo Cleansing Oil is priced at HKD 45/each (i.e around RM20) and available at Sasa, Aster, Bonjour and Long Sing Dispensary as well!

This is my holy grail cleansing oil :)

Am going to give it 5 stars !!


p/s: Hope Sasa Malaysia will bring in this!
