How to Pronounce those Beauty Products

Posted on November 19th, 2008 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

Shiseido, Aucoin, Shu Uemura, Decleor, and RéVive are just few of the beauty products that most people find hard to pronounce. Of course, not all of us were raised in Paris or Japan for example. So it’s only normal for people to wonder how a certain beauty label is pronounced. Here are a number of beauty products and their corresponding pronunciation for your reading pleasure. Who knows, you may still be saying Shiseido incorrectly. Thanks to Bella Sugar for the list! :)

Quantum of Solace Movie Review

Posted on November 19th, 2008 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

Last weekend, Hubby and I watched the movie, Quantum of Solace. We watched one of the last shows of the night because we still came from a dinner with friends. Anyhow, since it was the first weekend of the movie, I was expecting a lot of viewers albeit there was barely people watching. There were like about 15 people inside the movie house when we entered.

In fact, the movie tickets come with a free large (very large) soda and large (again very large) popcorn. I’m just hoping it’s not because of a bad review…
