MEISHOKU Organic Rose Skin Conditioner Review

If you've know me, you'll know I love rose scented products. So when it's in a skin care product, of course I must try it out!

This Meishoku Organic Rose Skin Conditioner is in a very cute pink 200ml bottle.
It's main use is similar to a toner, so you can use it before or after make-up, after washing your face, or you can put it in a spray bottle to refresh your skin on the go.

It's made with organic roses. I find the scent to be light and soothing. It doesn't smell artificial at all. I like at the bottle opening is quite small, so I can control the product easily.

So far, I'm really enjoying this skin conditioner. I also own the gel in the same line, which I will review at a later time :)

YuskinA Yu-Be Review


Yuskin, or Yu-Be in the states, is a concentrated glycerin moisturizing cream. Its won heaps of award in Japan for being highly moisturizing. What I like most is the fact that it contains no sulfates or artificial coloring or scents.

Some time, my skin can be sensitive. Since I've been traveling lately, my skin has been reacting to the airplane recycled air. Luckily after one night of Yu-Be, my skin is in much better condition!

The best part of Yu-Be is that it's multipurpose! You can use it on your face, lips, hands, feet or anywhere imaginable!

Yu-Be skin is now sold at Sephora.com.

Kose SOFTYMO Mineral Wash Review



I was intrigued by this product, since it claimed to contain 12 different kinds of minerals that are good for the skin (pearl powder, royal jelly, deep sea water, etc)  On top of that, the price was under $5!

Like most Japanese face wash, it doesn't dry out my skin or make my skin feel uncomfortable. I like using this with my Clarisonic, since it lathers up nicely.

Sana Soy Milk Whitening Cream Review

Sana is a popular Japanese brand that focuses on both cosmetics & skin care products. I believe they are most famous for their Soy Milk line, which contains a high amount of soya beans!

This Soy Milk Whitening Cream is a new product for me, but because of rave reviews I decided to buy two.

It's very light in texture and it absorbs into the skin quickly. There no distinct scent, which is great for those who are sensitive.

As of now, I can't see a whitening effect, but I think maybe by the time I'm done with bottles I may see a difference hehe.

Shiseido Perfect Whip Review


Face wash- it's one of those things that I'm constantly buying since it's a product I used day and night. Shiseido Perfect Whip is a cult favorite. At first, I didn't know why- how much more special could it actually be?
While in Japan, a bottle of Shiseido Perfect Whip was only $3, so I decided to give it a go. You know it's popular when Japanese drugstore only allows customers to buy no more than 5 bottles at a go.

First off, it's incredibly creamy! You only need half a pea size amount to obtain a fluffy ball of foam! If you have trouble foaming up facial foams, I recommend a facial foam net ;)

This cleaners removes everything! On top of that, it leaves my skin feeling smooth, fresh and squeaky. Cheapest place to buy this online, would have to be Sasa.com

Essie Pretty in Pink

My never ending hunt for the perfect nude nail color continues... This time, it's Essie Pretty in Pink. While the name has the word pink, it's more of a milky white pink (does that make sense? haha)
It may look nice on others, but for my skin tone I find it a bit white looking. On top of that, the formula is streaky, so it's not easy to apply.

Omi Sun Bears Super SPF 50+ Pa +++ Review

Very rarely do I leave the house without some sort of sun protection. Whether it's rainy or cloudy, SPF is a must!
Not only does SPF protect your skin from sun damage, but it also prevents your skin from aging prematurely.

Omi Sun Bears is originally meant for children, I think. Or maybe adults who can't resist cute packaging haha.

It's a milky-type sunscreen. Meaning, you have to shake it up before using and it goes on the skin very easily since the texture is like water.

Anessa, from Shiseido, makes sunscreen similar to Omi but Omi is literally 1/3 of the cost of Anessa!
If you're looking for sunscreen that's affordable yet works well then please try Omi! You won't regret it :)
