HadaLabo Gokujyun Cleanser Experience

I know so many people have reviewed and tried this but it does live up to its hype.

HadaLabo Gokujyun contains hyaluronic acid to aid in the retention of moisture in the skin to keep it remaining supple. The face wash/cleanser claims the following:

• Hydrates as it cleanses, helps restores skin's natural moisture leaving it silky smooth
• Gently cleanses leaving skins comfortably hydrated an refreshed
• Skin pH balanced and low irritation
• Free of fragrance, mineral oil, alcohol and colourant

This product definitely ticks all of the points for me. After I used it my skin did not feel dry, over washed, or tight. My skin felt really smooth, soft and bouncy =]

My skin did not react with the product. It says fragrance free but it did smell like rice to me which isn't too bad since I like the smell of rice.

The one I received was made in Japan. Not too sure if country of manufacture makes a difference ???

It's a creme cleanser which lathers really well into the skin

Pros:

Kept my skin moisturised

No reaction

Smells good

No tight feeling

Soft, smooth skin =]

Affordable

Cons: 

none so far =]

Should I try the other things in the line up of products?

Bonjour Haul

It looks like I'm always hauling...trust me I hardly go physical shopping. I LOVE online shopping ^_^

My package came in the mail from BonjourHK. It's like SaSa in Hong Kong but most of their prices online are cheaper =] but the major downside to shopping with BonjourHK is that free shipping only applies if you spend over $200 US!! So usually I wait for the products I need to accumulate so I can get free shipping. I hate shipping costs =(

I got all this. I needed new SK-II facial treatment essence and I was running out but didn't want to pay local price...I think for the 215mL in Australia it is over $200AUD!! But on Bonjour it was $US103. The Australian dollar is currently strong and almost matches the US so buying online and buying in bulk is cheaper =] SaSa was a bit more expensive but now it's on sale for $US96!! FML...oh well they don't stock the limited edition My Beauty Diary masks or Shu Uemura lash curlers.

Clockwise from left: HadaLabo Tamagohada cleanser, HadaLabo Gokujyun cleanser, Shu Uemura Lash Curlers, SK-II facial treatment essence and Kose Cosmagic Blusher in 02 Peach Pink

Shiseido Perfect Whip Foam Cleanser Review

I finished my old cleanser (Pond's Cleanser) about 2 weeks ago. A while ago my friend from Japan sent me   some stuff but I didn't want to use them straight away because I don't like having too many products half used which makes them less fresh. So today I'm reviewing the cleanser I got from her. She also sent me the cleansing oil from the same line but I've already got a cleansing oil that's only been a quarter used so far (kracie olive cleansing oil - so good, gets rid off stubborn mascara). Anyways onto the review ^_^

Can't read Japanese =( but from the image I think it means that it breaks down into tiny bubbles that goes deep down into pores making them extra clean =]

Nice thick creamy texture. Skin feels clean yet moisturised after. My old cleanser made my face squeaky clean but it was a bit over drying 

Directions: Squeeze a pea size amount onto fingers and work into a lather on face

Rinse well

Pros: Thick texture - easy to work with

Lathers well

Face feels moisturised after use

Cons: Hard to get, I've seen it on Bonjour but they are sold out

On another note...It's by boyfriend's birthday =]

I got him Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue for Men and some boxers =P This is one of my most favourite men's fragrance, nice citrus based scent. I usually use citrus kinds of fragrance myself or fruity floral. Also the female version of this scent is very very nice as well.

What's your favourite men's fragrance?

smoother nose

I purchased this random product a couple of months ago and only just opened it now to use. It claims to heat up your nose and remove the white and black heads. Be warned…you will see ugly pics of my nose >.<

SANA Pore Vacuumer

The tube is a foil tube. The actual product looks like cement and seems to have the consistency of cement. It has a fine gritty texture so I think thats how the whiteheads are scrubbed away. From application I can kinda see the white heads getting 'vacuumed' out =]

Usage: 

1. Wash Face with a mild cleanser and rinse
2. Apply a small amount on fingertips and apply to nose
3. Spread product around nose paying extra attention to the side nostrils
4. Wash of with luke warm water

Rating: 4/5

My Nose felt really smooth after I used it. I think maybe this product should be used ONCE a week. we should not overdo our skin with excessive products.

Package

A while ago I asked my friend from Japan to send me some Rohto Lycee eye drops because they are sold for inflated prices online :(


Here is what she sent me (thank you so much M)

Above: ViVi magazines, Rohto Lycee eye drops, starbucks tumbler <3, Japanese cosmetics


Below: (Clockwise) Shiseido "Perfect Whip" cleansing oil and cleansing foam - I haven't opened these yet as I haven't used up my current cleanser or cleansing oil, Candy Doll Lip gloss - this has a spatula applicator and can be used by itself or on top of lip concealer for a more nudy pink finish, Ettusais Lip essence - I think it's a moisturising lip gloss but I haven't opened it yet, CANMAKE "Four Shiny Eyes"  eyeshadow pallet in 09, CANMAKE "Cheek Gradation" blusher in 05, BI-TA-BU Volume Mascara (gold mascara tube), CANMAKE Gokunobi mascara - apparently this is meant to be a lengthening mascara and goes well with false lashes, Kiss Me Length and Curl Mascara - this was awarded Japans no.1 mascara and is quite inexpensive over there, Kiss Me Mascara Remover (light pink tube)

I will do a proper review on the products I haven't opened. I'm really tempted to open them but I already have 4 mascaras that are opened and 4 lip glosses opened. Make up should not be kept for a long time as bacteria can grow on the applicator…

Do you guys own any of these products?
