REVIEW ON LULULUN PRECIOUS RED RICH MOISTURIZING FACE MASK

Sheet masks are something that I consider a treat for myself or just wanting to look the best I can. Many attest to the 1 sheet mask per day to maintain their flawless skin.

I am not in the position to be using USD1.20 per sheet every day because I sure do not have deep pockets to maintain that kind of lifestyle. I was glad that Lululun masks were mentioned and so I got this packet of 32 pieces for USD21 (excluding shipping).

There are 7pieces in a packet but I got this one which is in a box. I got the precious red which is for anti aging and for moisturizing. The other precious blue which is for brightening doesn’t interest me as much as anti aging

LULULUN PRECIOUS RED RICH MOISTURIZING FACE MASK

Rice power for anti aging care

LULULUN PRECIOUS RED RICH MOISTURIZING FACE MASK

Here is the pretty red golden metallic plastic box. There is a plastic box inside to maintain the ‘tissue box’ look. Don’t put this in the bathroom because some people will mistake this as tissue box.

I use clean tweezers to take one sheet mask out or else I might accidentally take two or contaminate the whole box of sheet masks. The essence smells very much like fermented rice. The smell is faint enough but for those that hate it, it might not be an enjoyable experience. I don’t mind the smell at all.

LULULUN PRECIOUS RED RICH MOISTURIZING FACE MASK

Here is the mask sheet. This is not the tiny sample mask fitting only the fingertips or for Barbie.

LULULUN PRECIOUS RED RICH MOISTURIZING FACE MASK

The mask fits my face except that the nose flap doesn’t cover my big nose. The flap for the nose is for those with small nose I think. The size of the holes for the eyes and mouth is perfect for me. The cotton mask sheet is soft and silky enough. The essence doesn’t drip from my face during duration of wear which is about 15minutes. It will start drying up because it doesn’t contain as much as essence as masks from Taiwan but I think it is consider good enough considering the price is only about USD 0.66 per pieces. There is slight oily texture on the skin because there is bran oil. My skin does feel hydrated but it is best to use it every day for more pronounced effect and to maintain the hydrated complexion.

Lululun is definitely a good choice for paper sheet masks that you can use every day. You can get additional 5% discount by using this code when you shopping at Kirei website.

REVIEW ON MORITAYA TOFU YOGURT PACK

I think if you are with me, enjoying food and skincare are two blissful things. Today review is skincare and food blended into one package- Moritaya Tofu Yogurt Pack.

It has really interesting ingredients and I am a sucker for something that can make my face like TOFU! Who doesn't right? Tofu is actually bean curd. Moritaya tofu yogurt pack is actually part of my haul from Japan.

Pack is actually mask =).

Moritaya Tofu Yogurt Pack

Ah, such a cute packaging. it is a plastic jar =).

Size: 150g
Made in Japan

Moritaya Tofu Yogurt Pack

Everything is in Japanese which I can't read. There is seal where you break it.

Moritaya Tofu Yogurt Pack

Tadaa, fresh bean curd yogurt. Not for consumption XP.

MORITAYA TOFU YOGURT PACK

The masks does look yellowish curd like texture.

There is fragrance which is like baby powder and can be strong for those who do not like it.

MORITAYA TOFU YOGURT PACK

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.

MORITAYA TOFU YOGURT PACK

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

MORITAYA TOFU YOGURT PACK

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.

Product retails
Moritaya Tofu Yogurt Pack at 2660 (21.65USD)
(there is personal shopping which is affordable from the website)

update 26/1/2016 : 2 points is discount for 200 yen when you use it for your shopping later.

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.

Kikumasamune skincare emulsion

This is the new 2015 version of the emulsion. It comes wrap with plastic and in a lovely pink bottle. The writing is really good and will not fade away with constant holding and rubbing.
It is 380ml and in pumps.

**Placenta of animal origin

Kikumasamune skincare emulsion

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!

KIKU-MASAMUNE SAKE BREWING SKINCARE EMULSION

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.

My haul direct from Japan website.
