The delicious Peach John shop in Hong Kong
Finally I am in Hong Kong again after five years. I'm in love with this city. Just adore the way, how European and oriental cultures are mixed here. The first shopping spot I will hit is the Peach John lingerie store, which I've met first in Japan 5 years ago, and now they have a store in Hong Kong too.

I'm sure I will melt away inside the shop, surrounded by these wonderful lingeries...

...hopefully I will find something and will get the goodies home in these yummi boxes...

In case you are in Hong Kong, store adress is: P202,Podium 2,World Trade Centre,280 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

The Dutch fashion designers Viktor & Rolf exclusively designed three Couture eyelashes for Shu Uemura. Encased in a luxurious white box complete with a masquerade eye mask. How wonderful. I'm sure with these pretty eyelashes on, we would be the queen of the nights. Right? Honestly I never heard about Shu Uemura before, but here in Asia I've finally met with this brand and they have fabulous stuff.

Mr. Shu Uemura began as a makeup artist in Hollywood in 1955. His first substantial opportunity came during the filming of My Geisha, (starring Shirley MacLaine), when Mr. Uemura had transformed the actress's Caucasian face entirely into a Japanese geisha with Asian features. There was ovation from everyone who witnessed the transformation, including Ms. MacLaine herself. Over the next few years, he became the makeup artist of choice amongst Hollywood actresses as well as Frank Sinatra and actor Edward G. Robinson.

Are you ready for the weekend?

When I arrived in China 8 months ago, I was very curious what kind of beauty products they have here for ladies. Because I've already been in Asia before, I was sure there are lots of "yummi" things here for ladies. After a short search, I found this incredibly good brand from the Japanese Shiseido family. They create the creams in the Shiseido's laboratory in Japan, which means the quality is excellent and the best things is, the Aupres especially made for the Chinesee market, consequently the prices are really good. These creams makes miracles with my skin. Love it.

The other interesting thing in China is (and mostly everywhere in Asia), women likes to have they skin as white as possible. So almost every famous brand has they own whitening lotions, creams as well. I don't like when my skin is white, so I avoid these kind of products. I actually have to bring my self-tan lotions from Europe, because that's one thing you will never find in Asia.

Chinesee women with their white skin are often looks like pretty dolls :-)
