Hello lovelies!
Yesterday I had the pleasure to take part at the launching of a new beauty brand in Romania. I’m referring to Sensai which is one of the 6 beauty brands owned by Kanebo and the only one available also in U.S. and Europe. The other 5 brands by Kanebo are exclusively available in Asia (I’m really jealous on you Asian girls) and one of my favorite is Lunasol and you’ve probably noticed that because I post articles of Lunasol makeup collections and beauty products all the time.
The event took part at Douglas perfumery in Mall Baneasa and was an elegant and refined reception with a few guests. Sensai is a beauty brand more on the luxury side and it targets women of all ages who are cultivated in the art of makeup and skincare but also women who respect themselves and want only the best.
Sensai makeup range currently available in Romania is quite small (features mostly face & cheek products, lipsticks and mascara) but in the end of August it will get bigger with the arrival of the new eyeshadows.
Availability
Sensai products can be found now only in 10 locations of Sephora and Douglas perfumeries in Bucharest but also in Timisoara, Cluj and Constanta.
Meet me after the jump for more details and photos.
The makeup display contains only a few types of products but there is also a different display for Sensai skincare products. I had the opportunity to test a little bit of both sides but first let me give you the list with the makeup products available now at Sensai counters.

This is basically all the makeup range (I’ve probably missed a Loose powder) available now at Sensai counters but you can also find skincare products. Here is a list with some of these products:
Prime Solution – 75 ml – 670.00 Lei
A rich, refreshing first step moisturising treatment with an exquisite floral bouquet that leaves skin soft, hydrated and looking revitalised, ready to welcome your subsequent creams or emulsions.
Hydrachange Mist – 100 ml – 279.00 Lei
Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream – 15 ml
Hydrachange Cream – 50 ml
Brightening Cream SPF 8 – 50 ml
I had the chance to test and swatch some of the products listed above and the first one that got my attention was Sensai Lipstick. It feels quite light and moiturizing on the lips and is also long lasting (I changed the color after 5 hours).
The 3 shades I liked the most were #16 Rindou, #18 Koubai, #21 Shirafuji and here are the swatches:
From left to right: #16 Rindou #21 Shirafuji #18 Koubai

Sensai Lipstick #21 Shirafuji
Sensai Silky Lip Gloss #SG 02
I tested this lip gloss only on my hand and it has an incredible shine, is non sticky and contains lots of golden, pink and silver shimmery particles. I regret not applying this on top of the lipstick to see its effect.

I also tested Sensai Prime Solution and let me tell you it feels incredible lightweight, it has a watery texture, very fluid and get’s absorbed instantly into the skin revealing instant effects. Actually I did received a small sample of this and I will be testing it in the following days so I can return and tell you more about this miraculous elixir. 🙂

Have you heard of Sensai products before? Are you glad they are finally available in Romania?
