Dr. Ci:Labo Super Cleansing EX is the second product from Dr. Ci:Labo I’ve tried, and I absolutely love it! This makeup cleanser warms the face like a thermal mask and removes makeup effectively. Best of all, I didn’t get any pimples even after skipping double-cleansing. Read on and I’ll share what else I like (and dislike) about this Japan makeup […]
How does DHC Collagen Powder compare with Meiji? Hey folks, I’m closed to finishing my second pack of this beauty supplement and am ready to share my thoughts! Is DHC better than Meiji since it is pricier? Does it taste fishy? And most importantly, is it worth your hard-earned money? I’ll do a complete comparison against my staple collagen supplement
Did you know that a great makeup sharpener such as Shiseido Sharpener #231 can make life so much easier? How so? Isn’t a sharpener, well, just a sharpener? How different can sharpeners be? Well, I thought so too until I tried Shiseido Sharpener #231. My immediate thought was, “Why didn’t I buy it earlier?” Some of you may know that

Luckily, I have with me a styling product known as Utena Matomage Hair Arrangement Water. This styling water that I brought back from Japan has allowed me to look presentable
Dr. Ci:Labo Aqua Collagen Gel is so good it took me just one week to fall in love with this Japan-made moisturizer. This is an exception rather than the norm because I normally need more time to confirm a product’s goods and bads. For instance, after 3 months of testing, I’m still unable to confirm whether Melano CC Essence is
Cezanne Gel Eyeliner is the first gel eyeliner I’ve gotten from Japan. I was hopeful that I would love it when I saw how smudge-proof it was at the store, but sadly I didn’t when I first published this post. Now that I’ve used it for over half a year, I’m liking it more. Let’s take a look at its
Have you ever tried applying placenta to your skin? Today, we’ll be reviewing Meishoku Whitening Eye Cream, the first skincare I’ve used that contains placenta. Did the fine lines around my eyes improve? Is the cream sticky? And whose placenta are we talking about by the way? Read on and I’ll share everything I know after trying this eye cream
Have you been suffering from dry and flaky skin? Check out SANA Namerakahonpo Cream, an impressive moisturizer that nourishes the skin marvelously and healed my dry patches within days. As much as I love this rich cream, there’s one potential weakness that you should take note of. Although SANA Cream may not be entirely safe on my pimple-prone skin, I
The one thing that I’ll always bring back from Japan is none other than a Japanese sunscreen. In my recent trip to Nippon, I bought a few tubes including Skin Aqua Sarafit UV Essence SPF50+. This is by far the cheapest sunscreen that I’ve gotten in Japan and I wondered how Skin Aqua would match up with the other great
