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. In only 6 months, 100 000 tubes were sold!

Beauty DIY~~ Aspirin Mask

I've been searching for the right type of exfoliator for my skin when I came across this skin recipe. The first time I read the title I was more than hesitant to try this mask out so I ended up skipping to other DIYs paying not much attention to this recipe. I came back to it when I coinsidentaly bumped into some raving reviews on this home made exfoliator most recently. It is said that this mask exfoliates deeply and gently while preventing your skin from aging though making it a bit more voluranable to the negative effects of the sun. So if you ever decide on trying this mask, make sure you apply your sunscreen(at least spf 30) after words.
I haven't tried it yet though after reading so many positive reviews on it, I will definitely give it a go.
So here's how it's done...

Ingredients
1- 3 tablets of uncoated aspirin.
2- 2-3 drops of honey.
3- 1-2 tea spoon water.

Wet the apirin tablets with water. Dissolve them in the water(smash with fingers). Add the honey in and blend well. Apply on face with circular motion, gently exfoliating your face. Let it sit for 15 minutes then wash off with lukewarm water.

Good luck!!

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 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 Update!!

My Kose White Deep Moisture Body Milky Cream from Bobo Dave has finally arrived and in a very short amount of time!! Great service, “Hurray!! \(^_^)/” for Bobo Dave!! I’m going to get to try the cream out for the first time tonight, right after a nice warm bath and see if it works as good as it did for my hands. I’ll write a review on it after a week or so…
The packaging is a bit smaller than Bliss Naked Body Butter but it’s only natural since Bliss is 250ml and the Kose tubes are 160ml each. I’m almost done with Bliss but the new tube is on it’s way ^^ If Kose works as well as Bliss does or like how the hand cream works on my hands, I won’t be buying Bliss for a while and go on with Kose. It’s a lot cheaper!!

Beauty Page 16~~ Love+Toast

Meet the stylish packaging of Love+Toast hand creams. I love how each and every one of the creams look and they sure make me want to try them out and carry them in my purse. Each tube is 35gr and costs US$10. You can find them and make one(or more) yours on Beauty Habit. From left to right; Mandarin Tea, Pomme Poivre, Honey Coconut, Sugar Grapefruit, Gin Blossom and Paper Flower.

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.
Kose CoenRich Q10 White Deep Moisture Hand&Finger US$4.90
Kose CoenRich Q10 White Hand&Finger US$4.90
BoboDave does not seem to have these products but if you make a request, he may fetch them for you and maybe offer a better deal than Sasa does. Don't forget to check Ebay and Amazon out to find better deals.

I'm Loving BoboDave!!

Why? Because he goes and gets whatever it is you want and sells it for the lowest price(including shipping) that you can ever find online!! I was searching for Kose Koenrich Q10 Deep Body Moisturizer online and could not find many options (price-wise) to choose from. So I sent an e-mail to Bobodave, asking weather it was possible for him to get this item for me or not because it was not listed on his web-site. He found it in less than an hour and made it available for me for the cheapest price!! On Webichi, one bottle of Kose Coenrich Q10 Deep Body Moisturizer is US$13.59(shipping not included) and webichi don't ship outside US. I found one on Ebay for US$26 including shipment O_O So what was BoboDave's price? Two bottles for US$32 including shipping!!! Great no?

So if you have an item request, run to BoboDave to get the best prices and your wished for product.

Beauty Page 4~~ Avene Cleanance Anti-Shine Regulating Lotion Review

Likes:
> Does regulate the oil level on the skin.
> I haven't had any break outs because of this product.
> Moisturizes combination to oily skin perfectly.
> Very easy to apply.
> It's oil free.

Dislikes:
> Does not hydrate and it's not enough in winter.
>Prevents T-zone to shine but not through the whole day.

Overall:
**5 Star**

Tips:
> Use also around your neck area. Neck area is as important as your face so you must keep it moisturized as well. There are products that are especially produced for the neck area. I will post a review on one of those items later on in this blog so stay tuned =]

Where to Purchase:
See glow or search on Ebay

Beauty Page 2~~ Bliss Naked Body Butter Review

Srawberrynet has sent me this cute little snowflake necklace alongside the Bliss Naked Body Butter. I love it ^_^

Likes:
> Very smooth and easy to apply.
> Does not stick on your clothes, even if you dress right after the application.
> Is scent and alcohol-free.
> Moisturizes dry skin perfectly without leaving an oily look.
> Gives skin a silky smooth feel.

Dislikes:
> I have read in many reviews that applying it once, after you get out of the bath is enough. In my case, it isn't. It does moisturize for a long time but I still do feel the need to apply once more in a day.

I think Bliss Body Butters are perfect for normal to dry skin. I would highly recommend this product especially in harsh winter weather!! If you like some nice scent to your cream, you can also find Bliss with Lemon+Sage and Vanilla+Bergamot scents.

Overall:
**4Stars**

Where to Purchase:

Glow-> US$35(shipping free within US)
