Beauty Page 24~~ First Round of Sasa Orders Has Arrived!!

I wasn't expecting the pack this early!! I was happy with the fast shipment and was kind of hoping for the pack to arrive sooner than the ones before. The reason? I had some bad reactions to some BRTC toner and cream. My face got all red, irritated and dry after couples of times of use. I've got really really sensitive skin and the toner I've used was heavily scented and I guess it contained alcohol. The cream was supposed to sooth my skin but dried it very badly!! Should have known better... So I needed my JUJU cream as soon as possible!! Guess I'm lucky ;p I'm trying not to touch my skin as much as possible so I'll be using the toner after a week when my face gets a bit hydrated and all the rash is gone! So it's going to take me more than 2 weeks to write a review on the toner and the BRTC serum. I'm not even sure if I should use any other product from BRTC (>.<) Anyways... Here are the photos of my package and the goodies it contained!!

Beauty Page 23~~ Some New Goodies from Sasa

I have mentioned on the Vitacreme post that I was running out of moisturizer and toner. I also am running out of cleanser... So I decided to give some new products a try. I searched online through many web-sites and did a detailed research and finally decided on what to try!! Winter has been harsh on my skin! My Avene Gel Cleanser is drying out my skin too much and the Anti-shine regulating lotion from the same brand is not hydrating or moiturizing enough in winter. I guess both the products are better for summer. So I'm replacing the cleanser with JUJU Aquamoist HA Foam Cleanser. I still am to order this one from Sasa...

Skipping on to the things I've ordered... A Pore Tightening Serum from BRTC(US$25.30 for 30ml); JUJU Cosmetics Aquamoist Vitamin C Cream(US$15.20 for 50g)&Toner(US$12.30 for 120ml). I'll be using JUJU as my day cream while applying Vitacreme as a night cream and see how it will all work out(hopefully great!). JUJU products had around 300 something raving reviews from the users on Sasa. So I thought, these can't go wrong. They're also for all skin types and really really cheap!! People compared Creme de la Mer with JUJU's Vitamin C Moisture cream O_O

Click on the images below to be directed to the product's homepages on Sasa and read more detailed information plus reviews of users. I will review the products myself after a 2 weeks trial.

Beauty Page 22~~ Vitacreme B12

I am nearly out of moisturizer and am willing to try something new. I've been searching online for a moisturizer that has anti-aging and hydrating properties as well as pore minimizing and tightening effects. Kind of like an all in one cream... Browsing through the internet, I happened to bump into Vitacreme B12 on Sasa's main page right under 'Best Seller's. I was quite impressed on what the cream had claimed to do but you know how things work... Not every product(or people) do what they promise to. So I went on reading the reviews on Sasa plus some other beauty forums and users seemed to have agreed on how well this cream is working!! Since the cream is for all skin types, I decided to give it a try and ordered a tube from YesStyle(because it's cheaper here than in Sasa).

"Vitacreme B12 Regenerative Cream is the hottest item in Europe, the USA, Japan and Korea. It has been gaining great popularity since its birth. The benefits of this amazing treatment are acknowledged by the Japanese celebrity, Norika Fujiwara. What’s more, it made a remarkable sales volume in the Beauty Kingdom, Korea.

Beauty Page 21~~ Kose CoenRich Q10 White Deep Moisture Body Milky Cream

Likes:
> It is milky and glides on smoothly on skin. Easier to apply than it's hand cream.
> I use small amounts to cover the specific parts of my body.
> I really think that it's got whitening effects. Thinner skin whitens faster than the thick so I'm waiting a bit more to see results on thicker areas.
> Does not contain any fragrance or perfume(this might be a negative for some).
> It moisturizes really well!! No other body cream(including Bliss) could make my elbows this smooth!!

Dislikes:
> The tube is rather small for a long term usage. Japanese make everything small >< > It's not the easiest cream to find online, especially if you live outside US. Not as hard to find some other products but still...

Overall:
**5 Stars**

Where to purchase:
You may find this cream on J Style Living-> last time I checked, they were out of stock.
Ebay could be another option.
Webichi -> if you live in USA.
BoboDave -> you can send an e-mail to Bobo Dave and he will find this for you in no time!

Beauty Page 20~~ How to Add Easy Volume to Your Hair-Reccomendation

I have a round face so I always want some volume at the top of my head(towards my mid-ears) to make my face appear longer and give it an oval look. I have layers on top that no matter what I do, stick to my head like I did nothing!! I am dying to try this product out as I've read some really fantastic reviews from many many users online. What product? OSIS Dust it Powder. Below is a video that shows how to apply the product, how it looks and works. Seems super easy, fast and reviews online read that the style sticks all days long!!

Beauty Page19~~ Japanese Beauty Secret: Camellia Oil

100% pure Camellia Oil(or sometimes powder) is a widely used beauty formula in Japan on both skin and hair. You may use it on your body as a moisturizer; on your face to balance the oil level of your skin, to get rid of acne and to moisturize. Add a few drops in your shampoo and wash your hair to give it shine, moisture and smoothness. Use it alone on dry hair; massage your scalp and whole hair gently from the roots to the ends to treat the hair. "So it's a one in many kind of product" say many Japanese friends of mine. I thought I'd give it a try and see how it works on me.
I should warn you on some things though... If you have dry or normal skin, this might dry out your skin even more. It can also be used by sensitive skins. I have an extremely sensitive skin so if this does not irritate my skin, I doubt it will any other's. But you never know...
I will be buying the 100% natural one so that I can use it for hair, body and face. Some products are only for hair or face so be careful which one you choose.

Where to Purchase:

You may find various types of Camellia oil on Sasa and BoboDave. You can also check Ebay or a China Town near you ;]

Beauty Page 18~~ Anna Sui Beauty Accessories

I was browsing through YesStyle when I bumped into these chic and cool accessories. I love Anna Sui as a designer. I think her designs are fun, young(Dolly Girl), cool and chic. Her accessories of course are no less than that!! I love her color choices especially and would love to own a dress of her design some time when I have that much money to spare ;p
Here are some things I liked from her beauty accessory collection.
Enjoy ~_^

Beauty Page 17~~ BRTC Protect Multiplex BB Cream Review

Likes:
> It's 4 in 1; SPF20/PA++ sun protection, coverage, whitening, has wrinkle repair functions.
> Great for oily skin! It did not make me break out.
> Provides the coverage I need. My face does not need much covering since I don't have acne or acne scars on my face.
> Looks very dark when you first squeeze it out of the tube but blends well even with my pale complexion.
> Stays on the whole day!!
> Does not have any significant scent to it which is great for my highly sensitive nose.

Dislikes:
> Very thick. Not easy to apply.
> I feel like it's clogging up my pores but I'm sure it's because of the thickness.
> When you use a bit more than you should, it fills in the holes your facial expressions dig. Does not look flattering =/

Where to Purchase:
I bought mine from Ebay.
Sasa also has BRTC.

Tips:
This one might not suit dry skins. BRTC has a chart that helps you pick the right BB Cream for your skin type.

Beauty Page 14~~ Keeping Your Hair Dry

I have just purchased this shower cap from Ebay. I used to use the thin ones before, the disposable ones but they get ripped very easily and I somehow managed to get my hair wet every time I used them. So I decided to buy a better one and see how it will work. I browsed through Ebay to find one that does not have a Hello Kitty print on it and bumped into this apple print retro shower cap ^__^ hehee~ I'll review when it arrives.

Beauty Page 13~~ Kose CoenRich Q10 White Hand&Finger Red tube vs. Orange tube Review

Both bottles are 80gr each. The red tube is called 'Deep Moisturizer' and it's texture is more rich compared to the orange tube. The orange tube is more milky, therefore it's easier to apply onto your hands. They both leave a slight sticky feeling though it does not bother me. The red tube moisturizes more than the orange one so it's great for harsh winter weather or for really dry hands. Both have a whitening property which I think really works!! My hands absorbed the orange tube faster but I guess it's only natural since the red tube is more rich. I can not say that you can easily carry them around in your purse. I usually prefer smaller tubes to carry around in my bag but I think the size is good for it's price.

Where to Purchase:

You may find both tubes on Sasa. Click on the product you want to view on Sasa below.
