Guess what is this.
This is an traditional item that is still on sale in a local shop in my area.Bought it one fine day as it looked so old yet new and it is a rare sight these days.
Used by many asian women decades ago during the world warII and Japanese Occupation
Unsure who the woman is on the box

You re right efesgirl! An internationally knowledgeable collector!
Yes its a pressed powder. I think it is the world cheapest foundation used traditionally with a red lipstick. Bought it only for $1.30. Shall upload more pictures of it
the antique Jedi :)
Fantastic, and a great cosmetic for the price!
I love Chinese stores because they have so much packaging with this retro style :)
hi folks thanks for stopping by. Yep this is called the Sam Fong powder aka Three Wind Begonia Powder. Was doing some research about. Apparently from the website it can be used as a metal polishing agent and when you add water it can be a facial mask as well!
