It has been a couple months since my trip to Tokyo, but I can't stop missing it. Instead, I will have to settle for dreaming of when I can visit again and share all the incredible beauty purchases I made! I saved up for months because my wish list was a mile long. Now, makeup shopping in Japanese department stores is a time-consuming adventure so prepare yourself! Swatching seemed to be highly discouraged, and there is strict 'no returns' policy. The sales associates will open up every box to confirm that you are taking home the color(s) you requested. More details after the jump!

Dior Spring 2015 Kingdom of Colors Review, Photos, Swatches
In my travels, I have noticed that Dior consistently creates a handful of Asia exclusive products with every collection. When I was browsing the duty free selection, I immediately gravitated towards the Fairy Grey single eyeshadow. It is smoky but translucent, full of iridescent glitter, and can be applied wet for full impact color. You really can't get more versatile than that! If you have a friend or family member who travels, I highly recommend asking him/her to pick this eyeshadow up for you. Now since the eye look is more dramatic and reflective, I wanted to add balance with very subtle cheeks and false lashes. I also kept the skin more natural, opting for a loose powder instead of my usual powder foundation. I did, however, layer two very glossy lip colors for full impact! Mylord is the perfect My-Lips-But-Better shade for most of us with light to medium complexions, while Tiara is the epitome of Asian makeup (sheer and sparkly). I hope you enjoy the look! xo
