PACKAGING

The packaging of NudeCos' point-makeup line, "NudeCos Signature",

seems to be a significant departure from its base-makeup line,

and the rest of its other products for that matter.

If anything, the whole design concept is exceptionally...mature.

None of the cutesy, princessy frills ala Baviphat and Etude house...

nor the zen-like minimalist lines of Innisfree and Laneige.

What we have here is an elegant, metallic burgundy compact embossed with gold sakuras/cherry blossoms

- an article women in their 30s and beyond would't feel embarassed to whip out for touch-ups.

Updates: Hair + Laptop + Nude Cosmetics Video Reviews

So, after posting my YouTube video reviews on the Nude Cosmetics products, I received more Comments and Messages on my {{hair}} rather than the {{products}} themselves. Sighs...I do not know whether that is a good sign or not, so I will just take it as positive one :P

I have written an in-depth First Impression on the BB Cream and an Introduction to the Nude Cosmetics brand as well. After using the product for more than week, I still stand by everything I wrote in the First Impression.

However, in the course of the extra week, I do have several additional observations to add.

1st Impression: Nude Cosmetics "Skin Radiance 3 In 1 Multi BB Cream"

I will be writing a First Impression on Nude Cosmetics' "Skin Radiance 3 In 1 Multi BB Cream" today.

For more information on the Nude Cosmetics, please click here.

I will honestly say this: I have NEVER been much of a BB Cream fan although I live in Asia, and it is all the rage here. Now the fever has engulfed the US, the UK, etc. Ironic, no? Not because I abhor the no-makeup look it purportedly offers, but mainly because their colour match {or rather, colour MISMATCH in my case} makes me look like a wannabe Geisha! ~_~ Not a good look...Also, I am usually put off by their thick, pasty texture - makes blending a chore...So, WHY choose a BB Cream, of ALL the items offered by Nude Cosmetics, to try and review? Because, damn it, I want a BB Cream that works on ME! Also, I watched a a video in their channel where it was applied on a GUY who is not incredibly pale, so that gave me some hope ~_^ Desperate, yes I am!

Nude Cosmetics - An Introduction

"NUDE COSMETICS" - Never heard of them? Neither had I, until I was contacted by them about a week back to review their products.

Obviously, being the geek that I am, the first thing I did was to Google the brand, and nada-nothing. The search yielded an unrelated Western brand, along with some unmentionables :P. However, the person who contacted me, Jenny Tung, recently created a Facebook page and a YouTube channel which contains {at the moment of writing} just 3 rather dubious videos.

In all honesty, I was about to turn down Nude Cosmetics' review request UNTIL I {finally} found their Official Korean Website: http://www.nude-cosmetics.co.kr/ Yes, 99% of the website's content is in Korean - however, I was assured that the brand is an established one In Korea and not some fly-by-night company. Their minimal {English} presence in the Internet is probably something that will be rectified in the near future and expansion beyond their borders are in the plans.

*** Edited 1 August 2010: There is now an English Website.

*** Edited 4 August 2010: Added info about the Company

NUDE-COSMETICS was incorporated in September 2009. Domestic distribution channels to sell online in February 2010 and plans to online marketing. The company plans to export to Southeast Asian countries, and already in December 2009 was the first export to China, Myanmar, Thailand, Taiwan and other countries and exports are under consultation.
Our company's mission and brand meaning is as follows.

Mission of NUDE-COSMETIC
Expands the right to know of the consumers, produces and sells good quality cosmetics that contain nutritive elements at reasonable price.

Brand Meaning of NUDECOS
Combination words of -'NUDE(transparent)' + 'COS(cosmetics)', meaning 'honest cosmetics with confident quality so as to disclose date of manufacturing and development structure of subsidiary materials and all elements of contents' from concept of transparent cosmetics.

After some deliberation, I settled on 3 products:
[1] Skin Radiance 3 In 1 Multi BB Cream
[2] Skin Radiance Powder Pact
[3] Perfect Foaming Make-Up Cleansing Oil
