Kiehl's BUTTERSTICK Lip Treatment

Kiehl's BUTTERSTICK Lip Treatment

Kiehl's is one of my favorite skin care cosmetic brands.
It is naturally derived ingredients gentle to the skin and it also feels the effect, so it's a very favorite brand.
Especially my favorites are ultra facial cream, midnight recovery concentrate and powerful strength line reducing concentrate.
I was looking forward to using it because I heard that it is a highly functional lip treatment butterstick of my favorite skin care brand.

simply rose

Lemon butter and coconut oil are blended, and it has a faint citrus scent.

It is very smooth and moisturizes. It is not greasy at all. 

I have used Tarte amazonian butterstick and ALMAY smart shade butter kiss, but I felt Tarte amazonian butterstick was a bit greasy and ALMAY smart shade butter kiss did not fit me and my lips swollen.

Because Kiehl's butterstick is a natural ingredient, I can use it comfortably without swelling my lips.

I also liked that the container is cute and not cheapish.

It is a nude color like a faint dusty rose.
Long moisture continued, very comfortable, my lips became soft.
I like this color that is natural and healthy. It is perfect for everyday use.

NARS Velvet Lip Glide and Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner

NARS Velvet Lip Glide and Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner

NARS is one of my favorite cosmetic brands.
I like NARS lip gloss, lipstick, lip liner, highlighter and blush.
Especially my favorites are lip gloss (Orgasm, Dolce Vita), blush (Orgasm), highlighter (Albatross).
Semi-mat lip gloss was newly released from NARS, so I was looking forward to it.
Matt lip gloss is very popular, and it is good because it is long-lasting, but I am concerned about drying.
Finally I found a lip gloss moisturized with long lasting.

Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner
(Via Veneto - black)

I bought a velvet lip glide and got this eyeliner for free.
It was my first time to use the NARS eyeliner. I usually use MAC or Revlon eyeliner.
This eyeliner is very long lasting. But it is very dry and not creamy, and it hurt to draw a line over my eye. I think that Mac powerpoint eye pencil or Revlon colorstay eye liner is easier to draw and long-lasting.
This eyeliner does not seem to suit me.

New Year's wish, Amulet, Fortune-telling at Tokyo Daijingu (Shrine)

New Year's wish, Amulet, Fortune-telling at Tokyo Daijingu (Shrine)

Last month, I visited Tokyo Daijingu (Shrine) to pray for the New Year.
It is a very famous shrine in Iidabashi, Tokyo.
It is famous as a god marriage, a book mark type fortune-telling paper and amulet are very popular.

Tokyo Daijingu Torii (an archway to Shrine)

Tokyo Daijingu is Shinto shrine dedicated to the spirits of the deities whom the Japanese have worshipped since the establishment of the country. It is one of the five major shrines in Tokyo, Meiji jingu, Yasukuni jinja, Hie jinja and Tokyo daijingu.

I mentioned "Hie jinja" in the previous my blog.

Middle gate (Torii)

The Tokyo daijingu is enshrined together with the three gods of the creation that governs the work of knotting of the heaven and the earth.
It is also known as a shrine with profit in marriage, visits by people who wish for good relationships are getting more and more year by year.
There are also benefits for domestic safety, business prosperity, mischief, fortune-telling, traffic safety, academic achievement, etc.

Hall of worship

I visit this shrine every year for New Year 's visit.
I worshiped in order to ask for good health, business prosperity and good match.
I drew a bookmark type fortune-telling paper and bought an amulet of agate.

and Amulet of agate

Bookmark type fortune-telling paper 

A historically famous singer's love song was recorded, and the coloring is beautiful. It has a faint scent of flowers (wisteria) and you can use it as a bookmark after reading.
Depending on the sacred fortune-telling paper are written such as "great blessing" or "unlucky". I drew "great blessing".

Amulet of agate

Agate seems to be told that spiritual powers that exorcise evil and bring wealth and health will live. Among them, the red agate is said to give us the power to lead things to success.
It is an amulet I purchase every year. I feel that my heart will be calm with this amulet.

It also holds various events such as great calligraphy or candle workshop etc, on a regular basis.
