Biteki, Voce, Maquia and Spring March

The new March '09 issues of Biteki, Voce, Maquia and Spring have all arrived at Kinokuniya bookstore!

If you can buy only one mag this month, my vote goes to Biteki because it comes with a 62-minute DVD on eye makeup application by famous makeup artist Yamamoto Hiromi, using Est makeup. It also has an interesting article on Lunasol's 10 year anniversary, which I will translate in a separate post.



Maquia comes with a small tube of Transderma C Vitamin C Serum 1.2ml and a spring makeup collections catalog featuring 62 brands. I bought this mainly because I was intrigued by the cover model, Anna Tsuchiya, who looks like Hamasaki Ayumi in the cover shot.




Voce features another Maquillage spokesmodel on both its front and back covers, Ueno Juri. The main feature is makeup tips on how to make your eyes look bigger. It also includes 2 sample sachets of Kose Moisture Skin Repair (Rice Power Extract).






Feature on the Puffy duo for Lavshuca.




Hilarious pic of a new whole-body foam spa treatment in Kobe!



I also picked up Spring magazine, mainly for the freebie, a pink-gold mirror by Cookie Fortune, which is a Japanese accessories brand. It's quite well-made and worth the $13.40 price of the mag, which also comes with tons of features on spring fashion.
