Pack is actually mask =).

Please excuse me looking like an idiot here.  I wet the cotton pad with toner/green tea water and apply really thick moritaya tofu mask on top of the cotton pad. You could use those compressed mask too. Just make sure the 'sheets' is really thin. The moritaya yogurt pack could double up as prevention for mask sheets to dry up slowly.

Here is the closer looking of the mask on the cotton pad

The rice bran oil which has squalene makes the skin smooth.

The pack feels a little cooling on the face, application is very smooth and easy.  I wouldn't say the same for removing it > < .  You will have really buttery palm if you remove it with water alone.  I actually wet the cotton pad with green tea water and swipe it off my face or do the 'cotton pad method' .  It is easier that way.  Sure enough, I have really smooth skin after that.  the smooth skin is attributed to the rice bran oil which has vitamin E and squalene that keeps skin soft, supple and smooth.  I don't think you can see much of the effect on my skin.  It is more of the differences in the feeling when you touch your skin.

It is really great moisturising mask for dry skin or during winter but not so much for removing it because it is super problematic with direct application. The price is quite high at USD21.65 but it last really long since you actually use very little of it each time.

Overall, I think I will get those 30 sheet masks for USD16  or LuluLun new mask USD21 from the same website given that those is lesser of a hassle to remove the 'wash off mask'. Besides, I think many will find sheet masks less of a hassle than this wash off mask. Recommended for double masks if you don't like to use those silicon mask.


PS:warning. If you are living in Malaysia like I do, then please do not Order brands that is not in the notification list through EMS.  IF you are really lucky, you will get a warning letter like me. I am really grateful and can't thank my lucky star enough that my product arrived to me with just a warning letter.  Worse your things get stuck at the "custom" and destroyed just because some people is not holding the licence to import those product here.  Do read this problem written about another person here too  It has to comply with some healthy regulation which I don't know what.

Also added here from a reader, Nur Hanan that kindly provide me with information, try not to use EMS and opt for the cheaper registered mail(SAL) since our Malaysia kastam will open 90% EMS content, charged you if it is above RM500.  Even if it is cheap item, you will get charged or destroyed your things.  Sob, sob, sob.  Lucky you other people from other countries.

REVIEW ON KIKU-MASAMUNE SAKE BREWING SKINCARE EMULSION

Hi Beauties,

As much I love using fermented stuff, it usually are expensive and rarely comes for body products. Love using sake filtrate as your skin but without breaking your bank? Introducing to you this sake filtrate skincare product from Japan.

Apparently this is a famous brand in Japan and it is made by Kiku-masamune Sake brewery (1659)! This is part of my small haul from Japan. You can read about my haul HERE. I actually talk about the shipping and the price of personal shopping for Japanese products.

If you are in Malaysia, please use SAL(slow registered post) and not EMS when you are shipping from Japan or other countries.

Sorry, I can read a single word of Japanese here.  The emulsion is as famous as the toner lotion.  Mine was one of the few last bottles.  I took the plunge actually to order the emulsion instead of the toner because I am running out of body lotion and this has fermented stuff in it!  The brewery stop making it because of the changes in the weather. I was disappointed when I couldn't get it but I just have to thank the web owner for looking it up for me.  Japanese offers such dedication and really good service!

The emulsion smells like fermented sake.  I love the smell actually.  The smell is really faint actually.The emulsion is opaque watery white. Application is just so easy as the emulsion absorbs into the skin really well without any stickiness.  Your body will just feel really silky. Good for person who hates thick body butter.

I love this emulsion very much.  I am using it on my body and it really helps with my skin dryness.
I love the feeling of bathing in sake goodness everyday and it is only like USD12 for such amazing stuff but I guess I can no longer get thisT_T .  I considered myself as being really lucky the first time to still get my haul and just ended with a warning letter but I won't be lucky for the second time.
Why my skin love you Kikumasamune Skin Care Emulsion??? Now, I have to go find a dupe available locally.> <  .


However, please do check the ingredients as some people may feel worried because of the mineral oil in it.



PS:warning. If you are living in Malaysia like I do, then please do not Order brands that is not in the notification list through EMS.  IF you are really lucky, you will get a warning letter like me. I am really grateful and can't thank my lucky star enough for the whoever that hold my parcel is being nice to me and my product arrived to me with just a warning.  Worse your things get stuck at the "kastam" and destroyed just because some people is not holding the licence to import those product to this land! Do read this problem written about another person here too.  It is okay if the product is one piece, from brands available here such as Shiseido and not more than 1month (not more than 100ml)supply if you still want to use EMS.  It has to comply with some healthy regulation which I don't know what. Make sure it is below Rm400 or you will get tax no matter what of shipping you are using.

To be safe, just use registered post(SLOW POST) which is slower but at least you will get all your things.



Product retail at;
Kikumasamune skincare emulsion at Kirei official website or in Amazon
Shipping is based on weight. They will send them you an invoice from PayPal after they decide on your shipping fees.

REVIEW ON SHIRO WAKI HIME UNDERARM EXFOLIATING & BRIGHTENING CREAM


When you need something to whiten the dark area of your body, do look into Shiro Waki Hime Underarm Exfoliating & Brightening Cream. It is a Japanese product meant for whitening the skin.

Shiro Waki Hime Underarm Exfoliating & Brightening Cream is a product to temporary brighten and whiten the dark area of the armpit. You can also use it to lighten the colour of knee of elbow area.

The cream comes in form of a tube which is easy for dispensing of product. The cream is opaque white in colour.



Steps:
1. Make sure to clean the area first

2. Apply a small amount(the size of pea) on dark area.

3. After leaving it for 10 seconds, gently massage it for 20 seconds . Do not rub by force.

4. Once it comes off, remove those away.


SHIRO WAKI HIME UNDERARM EXFOLIATING & BRIGHTENING CREAM
SHIRO WAKI HIME UNDERARM EXFOLIATING & BRIGHTENING CREAM


It is easy to apply the cream onto the skin and leaving it for 10 seconds. Rubbing it is very effortless as the cream turned into powder like texture. The cream felt like a temporary foundation to whiten and brighten the dark part of the body slowly. Skin feels really smooth, smell nice and the whiten part looks really natural and not unnaturally white. One might to apply a few times to get the desired effect.

Since it contain titanium oxide, it can temporary look ‘white’ naturally. The effect do last the whole day or until one wash it off with soap.  The cream smell really nice too. It smell like baby powder.

I am not sure if you can use it on the face.  Preferable just use it on your body.

Overall, it is okay for those that look for temporary whitening solution but is not good in makeup or does not what those fake makeup look.

PS:  I am sorry that I have to use my hands because you won't see anything on my armpit > <  . I tried and the pictures is so blurry.

JAPANESE GREEN TEA KIT KAT


Hi foodies,


When there is no one to cheer you up, you cheer yourself up!

One of the MUST get when you are in Japan is their Kit Kat. There are as many as 200 types of Nestle Kit Kat flavors. From dark chocolates, strawberry cheese cake, tofu, miso, wasabi , soya sauce and even the cake flavor which you have to heat up. Don’t get the wasabi unless you are up for a challenge. XD


It is a great souvenir since you can't get it from other countries.

So, basically there was only that usual milk chocolate Kit Kat until I got this green tea kit kat. Of course I was really curious about it even if it is more expensive than the normal ones. The packaging is the same as the one from Japan just that it has other languages on it. At least we can read it!

JAPANESE GREEN TEA KIT KAT
JAPANESE GREEN TEA KIT KAT

JAPANESE GREEN TEA KIT KAT



It has mild green tea taste. It is sweet to me but everyone threshold of sweetness is different.  Anyhow, if you care about your waist line, then don’t eat more than one mini bar per day.  Treat it as some sort of 'treats' that you can have once in a while.   It is good to share it with another person. It is nice and if you love green tea, this will be probably one of the flavors that you should get when you are in Japan. XP Better than those ‘cute looking banana cake’ which does not taste good to me.

One serving contains:
7.6g sugar
1.1g protein
5.6 fat
16mg sodium
9.7g cabohydrate

So, it is not advisable to eat more than 1 mini bar per day because you can easily go over your daily intake of 60g of sugar daily.  Besides, eating too much process food with high sugar content causes diabetes in long run,  you will also have bad skin(acne) and pot belly appearing.  After all, sugar is Number 1 killer for skin.

I think by the time I wrote this, other Asian countries probably already have this in their stores. Also, I have been thinking about it the whole day and by the time I came home, tired and unhappy, I was made even angrier because someone ate all the green tea Kit Kat I have been thinking all day. T_T

REVIEW ON SWISS LINE CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++



Living in the equator means summer all the year around. Being exposed to the harmful sun rays can cause many skin problems in the future. In Asia, using sunblock or sunscreen is a must even if you feel that your skin is tan enough or you do not mind being darker. It is not the questions of having dark or fairer skin but to care for the biggest organ-skin.


However, not all the sunscreen and sunblock are equal. Do read HERE to know the list of approved sunscreens by the FDA.


Here is the new Cell Shock White Invisible Veil Spf 50 Pa++ I received. This sunscreen is specially formulated for Asian skin type. Living here meaning we have to use high sunscreen and I can say SPF30 just doesn’t protect my skin from burning. How can I apply sunscreen every 30minutes without looking like a weirdo?


So, Asian typically uses sunscreen that is around 45 to 50 SPF as well PA++. We also look for light texture sunscreen because everything heavy clogged our pores and prevent us from having flawless skin.

CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++


SWISS LINE CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++
CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++



Swiss line, anti aging Swiss skincare brand with combines proud heritage in the cellular therapy a paramedical approach to beauty introduced the Total Lift Day Cream SPF 20 to join the Cell Shock collection, a results oriented , cellular anti aging skincare collection launched in 1995. Cell Shock White Invisible SPF50 is the newest to join the Cell Shock White collection, an anti aging skincare collection designed to keep the skin pigment light.


A light weight essence that can be use alone or over any moisturizer to shield the face, neck, décolleté and hands. It offers UVB protection with FDA approved ingredients, Octocrylene. This high versatile products is packaged in a white tottle bottle, designed to stand on its head.


It is for those who want to shield their skin from the sun but does not want to lighten the skin, in contrast with Cell Shock White Bi-Phase Lightening Veil SPF35( which will remain in the assortment). It is silicone-free, mineral oil free and alcohol free formula was developed for Swiss Line in Japan.


Key Actives

INVISIBLE UV COMPLEX 

A combination of broad spectrum UVA and UVB filters including the FDA approved Octyl Methoxycinnamate provide a significant sunblock yet remain invisible on the skin. To enhance the dispersion of the filters some are encapsulated into micro sponges that offer a better and more even distribution on the skin’s surface together with fantastic weightless feeling.


DUAL WHITE COMPLEX

This potent complex is comprised of a pharmaceutical grade isolated fraction of licorice and an extract of the Japanese cherry tree leaf. The two combined extracts grant an anti inflammatory effect because of the inhibition of the histamine releases and whitening effect achieved by the accelerated melanogenesis. This way not only the dark pigments are addressed but also the red pigments present in erythema, a UV induced reaction.

Make sure you shake the sunscreen really well before using it.  The sunscreen should look like emulsion.  If water came out, then you have not shake it well.


SWISS LINE CELL SHOCK WHITE INVISIBLE VEIL SPF 50 PA++



I have been using this sunscreen for about 3 weeks and I can say that I love it.  The sunscreen has a light fragrance which I do like.  Cell Shock white Invisble SPF50 is really invisible on my skin which I really like because it doesn't coloured my skin nor make me look too white.  Some sunscreens will cause a greyish white cast on my face but not this sunscreen!  The sunscreen is like a very light moisturiser which dry down matte and doesn't make my face look oily at all.  It doesn't disrupt your makeup too.  No one even know I am wearing sunscreen.


Overall, it is a good sunscreen which just like the name 'veil'-it protect the skin but it is really light and I can't feel it once I applied it on my skin.  It does its job and doesn't clog the pores.  I can't think of a reason not to like it except that price which can be shocking.  It is a luxury Swiss brands and that is understandable given that it is has the same quality as other high end brands.

FOOD REVIEW ON ENGLISH TEA SHOP JAPANESE GREEN TEA SENCHA




I am a fan of green tea and I drink them often. There are actually many types of green tea and I do like sencha although I know some prefer other grade of tea such as ujicha. I bought this out of curiosity since the usually green tea from Japan I drink was nowhere to be seen. Besides, it is not that expensive considering that it is form of tea bags.

The smell is quite light and refreshing which I like. Besides, since it is organic it is not bad and works for my DIY rice paper skincare mask =) . Once, I was having terrible migraine and a cup this green tea calm the pain. I was so much in pain that literary puke and in cold sweat. This helps me and I think it is not bad especially when you are travelling and have no time to be straining those green tea leaves.



Overall, would buy this again.
Products retails at arounf RM17.90 to RM18.90. The tea are from Sri Lanka.

FOOD REVIEW ON NANA'S GREEN TEA

I do love fried chicken very much but of course I can't eat that everyday without any side effect especially when it will concern my skin condition. I break out and scars easily from unbalanced diet thanks to my genes.
So most of the time I would prefer to choose Japanese food.  Let's just say that I have a huge stomach and so I went to eat at Nana's Green Tea at Midvalley.  It is near the Cold Storage and at the same row of Nyonya Colors.  It was already full by the time we reach at 11.30am and luckly there was still two seats because the customers just left for work I think.

NANA'S GREEN TEA


There is a huge panel the moment one comes into the restaurant and well I can't help but to take photo of it =P .  Sorry no selfies because I don't really like one.

NANA'S GREEN TEA

I am not sure for dinner set but lunch set is between 11.00am- 2.30pm.  I think it is cheaper than ordering ala carte.  There are about 10 sets to choose from so I went blur on what to chose.  My friend suggested me to take Set A which is the Locomoco Hamburg since it is their most famous Set.  Once can choose the drink that they want from the bottom of the menu.  Rest ensure that the drink are all good ones.

NANA'S GREEN TEA
Locomoco Hamburg

So, here is my Locomoco hamburg.  The portion is big as the photos shown.  I thought that I would probably need to order two but was happy when I see the portion of the food.  The one oval is actually potato.
Okay, I am not going to lie that the food taste so amazing that I am going to faint. Truthfully say, I don't really like sauce on the burger because it is too strong of vinegar+tomato+water or something.  I don't really enjoy the sauce and it is the only thing that I left on the plate.

The meat is actually soft and not fatty so it is a great health option.  The rice maybe too much for a normal girl to eat but it is just nice for me since it is made of multi-grain that is sure to make one feel satisfied for rice lover.  It good health option but I am sure that some may find it hard and tastes like some rough sand inside the mouths. Vegetables is fresh and adding a small potato makes it look cute.


NANA'S GREEN TEA

Here is the Miso soup with seaweed inside.  I love this actually.  Unless one is into Miso, you may not like it.  It taste like salty soya sauce.  My family doesn't like Miso because of the taste but it is actually good for health.  However, one don't have to force yourself to like something.

I chose thin matcha green tea hot because this seems like a new one for me.  The smell is actually light and not as fragrant other type of tea but of course again matcha is good for health when you drink it in warm.  I don't like sugar so did not add one.  I know I am weird.  You could add some topping like ice cream with extra charge of RM1.80 per topping.

I wanted to order dessert but too bad I am already full.  I will probably come back next time for the dessert because I prefer to order few types of desserts and just share instead of eat one only.


Lunch set is RM19.90 not including gov and service tax.  After tax it should be about RM26.
