How to Pronounce those Beauty Products

Posted on November 19th, 2008 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | Leave a Comment »


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! :)
