Shiseido Skincare Range

Advantages: The most flexible and moisturising line I know
Disadvantages: it may cost a lot if you really get into all the products

...I have been using Shiseido on and off for 6 years. In between, I have to say that I have tried other brands like H20 ( not readily available in the UK), Clinique, Estee Lauder, Origins and Chanel. Shiseido is the one brand that I constantly returned to and has now become the only solid staple in my skincare routine. To me, Shiseido is unique brand which really covers all the bases when it comes to skincare. I have never known another brand to have this degree of flexibility or a closer nderstanding of it's customer base. Shiseido as a brand is probably a lot less well established in the UK than it is in Asia; it costs a litte more ( not by that much ) and is only available from a few large department stores. I'm sure they have their reasons but I would say mainly that it can be put down to the fact that the skincare market is...

Review of Shiseido Range

Shiseido Nail Lacquer

Advantages: Great finish - long lasting and great colour range!
Disadvantages: really expensive - if you have as many colours as i do!

...Shiseido is not a name I had heard of before but was recommended by my nail salon. You can't buy this from supermarkets and I havent seen this in boots but I get mine from a mail order application through my beauty salon. Each 15ml bottle costs me £4.25 which is a bit more than the Rimmel or Max factor or even superdrug own brands but what you pay for really is quality. Speed of drying: Not as fast as 60 seconds nail varnish from rimmel but thwe results really are worth the wait. Drying takes about 10 minutes which can seem like ages but if you can resist touching anything - i find TV usually helps for 10 -15 minutes the finish is even and not blotchy. If you want to test the driness of the polish I would do this only after ten minutes in order to avoid squashing and wrinkling of the varnish. If you try doing this before 10 mins you...

Review of Shiseido Nail Lacquer

Shiseido range

Advantages: Skin care that works
Disadvantages: not easily found

...I was talked into buying this skincare when i went into my local Sephora store for my usual supply of Decleor. I was greeted by a helpful French lady who was the specialist over the skincare products. She saw me pondering over the Decleor products and asked if i needed any help. I told her i had come in to purchase my usual cleanser but i wasnt totally happy with how my skin was behaving at that moment, and i wasnt sure i had got the correct product for my skin. She asked me a few questions, and after i had answered them she went to a drawer and pulled out a number of Shiseido skincare samples out for me to try as well as a few Decleor samples she said i might like. Shiseido do three ranges in their skincare. The products are : 1. The Skincare. Anti-early ageing for all skin types aged 25 - 35 2. Benefiance. Total...
