Sana ~~ SPF 50+ PA+++ BB Cream ( Review)



This Skin-perfecting BB cream made with collagen- and silicone gel powder-infused, 3D fit formula that effectively conceals enlarged pores and evens out complexion. 

If you have never used BB creamy,  BB mean Blemish Balm which was originally created by the cosmetic surgeons and dermatologist in USA where patients had just had major surgery but wasn't able to apply made up. As an alternative they were give BB Cream to cover up imperfection until they recover to be able to use normal foundations.

The San BB cream was light and creamy which glided over the skin whilst covering the imperfections. Its a light coverage so if you have big acne or blotching you need to use additional concealer. 
The product was light so it was easy to use over enlarged pores and hide imperfections. 

It is also SPF 50 , generally the BB creams and products are only SPF 25-30 its rare to see 50. Its definitely impressive and gives you are comformt especially in Australia with our damaged Ozone this products gives additional protection to prevent aging.
This is still not a replacement to put on suncream , as with any suncream protection after a few hours the SPF protection is no longer there.


Verdict:

I personally really like the texture of the BB cream and compared to the Skin 79 BB and the Etude house one I actually prefer this more.
It glides on better to the skin and the color was more natural and warm , i generally find that the Korean BB cream are great but sometimes the color doesen't also turn out quite natural unless you are already really pale.

Cost : 10-15 USD

Tips: 
If you feel that you are using the BB cream and you need more coverage you can either mix it up with your concealer and apply or you can add it to CoverGirl and Olay foundation.


SASATINNIE - Moisture Boost Hand Mask (Review) and Be Creation BI JOIE Hand Mask






Sasatinnie , is a brand associated with SASA, a large Hong Kong cosmetic chain store which sells virtually everything. Be Creative is a general brand who stock heaps of different types of products for distribution.

I have been having pretty dry chap hands due to my dishwasher breaking having to wash everything by hand. Would have been the smart thing to put gloves on but since i never really wash dishes didn't have one.

To combat the issue went searching for  a hand mask to save my poor hands..
I found two products which was the  Sasatinnie and Be Creative hand mask. I must admit i was a be skeptical at first how well it would work.

Both product is about the same , you put on the hand mask gloves which has been pre soaked in some serum. Think of your face mask in a glove form.
Once you have the mask on you pop on a additional pastic glove to stop the moisture from evaporating and find something to do for 20 mins.

If you an active person like me you will struggle. I ended up typing with the gloves on and it doesent work. So put a movie on or a long series and  if you need a drink or go to the bathroom i suggest you do it before you put those glove on.


Verdict:
Both mask worked really well and my skin was very smooth and felt very hydrated however the long waiting time of not being about to use my hands was a struggle for me. Sasatinnie had a interesting smell , its not gross but not awesome. So if you are a sensitive person , open a window or make sure the room is well ventilated.

Sasatinnie vs Be Creation

The man difference is basically where it was made. Sasatinnie hand mask is made in Korea while Be Creative hand mask in Japan. So it really comes down to preference.

Cost : $3.3-$3.5 USD

Definitely a good purchase


HARUHADA Vitamin C Activator - Review

HARUHADA - Vitamin C Activator - Review





For those who have never used Vitamin C serums , they are great for promoting skin rejuvenation and removal of scaring. Usually only sold through Dermertogiest and specialty stores.

I have been having pretty bad skin from being in the sun and the changing weather causing a acne and dry skin which for most of us that is the worst combination as you try to hydrate the skin with products and you end up with blocked pores and more acne.

Since I departed from my Dermertogiest i have not been able to get my hands on a bottle of Vitamin C serum and I have been too lazy to go to a new Dermertogiest paying $150 a consultation just for it. I have now found my new Saviour!!!

The Haruhada range of serums which is reasonably prices and works a treat. HARUHADA is a Japanese brand a lot of beauty products so you can be sure that you getting quality. They actually have a full range of serums but I only purchased the Vitamin C and the Collagen Activate Serum.


  Verdict :

When you get the product its not impressive looking just very plain packaging. The texture of the serum is light and non sticky compares to the Serum i was provided by my dermatologist which was great.
I have used the Vitamin C activator for about 4 days now in conjunction with the Kobps Ultrasonic and it has really got ride of my acne scaring and my skin is more soft and rejuvenate. enlarged pores have become smaller and make my make up guide on without looking caked on.

Cost : $18 USD - $40 USD

Best placed to buy it at the moment is sasa.com .Yes style is about $35 which is way over priced



Yanagiya - Jennos Bayu (Horse Oil) Hair Treatment (Review)

Yanagiya - Jennos Bayu (Horse Oil) Hair Treatment (Review)



What is it?

This is a Horse oil product which has been made by a well know brand in Japan Yanagiya. The product uses natural horse oil and other compounds to create a hair treatment to revitalize your hair by replenishing and repairs damaged hair, meanwhile protecting hair from further irritation.

Cost :  $5 - $8 USD depending where you buy it from.

Verdict :

Horse oil have been all the Rave in Asia and there is a wide range of brands and products for face, hair and foot and hand cream. I also go into the hype but really have not been too impressed with a lot of the brands at offer.

In saying so, this product did work well on the hair to smooth it out and make it shine very nicely.
I have very dry ends at the moment as i am tying to grow my hair out for a wedding and its been hard to lock down on a products to stop split ends.

Pros :

The products dose deliver a good shine and makes your hair look illuminated which i was really impressed. It kinda gave me highlights my hair was brown and it made the light brown sparkle in the light ..woohoo..
Hair was easier to manage and very smooth

Cons: 
although the product makes your hair smooth and shiny but if you put too much on you can have very oily looking hair and especial if you it on the top of you hair. So remember to only use the product mainly on the mid to ends of your hair to ensure you don't look dirty and oily.

care through out the day when using the product as it might cause you to get the product in the eyes when you are out as your natural oil plus the horse oil can cause eye irritation...  i found it our first hand... :(
But i would still use the product in moderation and have learn to use it only in the back or ends of the hair .


Personally Horse hair oil is no different from the Australian Emu and Lanolin oil range. The Japanese products seem to have more Jazzie packaging and a wider product range but for value for your buck i would definitely use the Australian Emu and Lanolin cosmetic range.

My personal favorite is the G and M  and the Emu Heaven Brand




Kobps Ultrasonic - Beauty & Health Instrument

In Asian the Ultrasonic products have been a Hit . Japan released heaps of these products marketing them to help promote deep penetration of the skin products you use and to help prevent wrinkles.

I have been dying to get my hands on one to test it out. I finally spotted one online, who would have thought trying to buy this online was so hard.

Kobps was the only one i found even though i would have prefer to have purchased a Japanese brand one.

How dose it work??

Well these machine sends pulse waves which allows the skin to intensively absorb the skin production you are using and even helps any slimming products which you have on.
The theory is that with the pulsation it helps the skin products to penetrate deeper in to the under layers of the skin where the cells can regenerate faster.

Kobps claims to do the following :
  • Skin beauty:
    1. Removing wrinkles

      When the elastic protein of your skin becomes aged, skin loses its tender and elasticity. The appearance of roughness, fine lines and wrinkles becomes more visible. Ultrasonic waves works to rearrange skin cell and promote circulation and metabolism. Skin cells are retained to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
    2. removing black spots

      Sunlight arises formation of melanin. When melanin accumulates, black spots and wrinkles become noticeable. Ultrasonic waves work to destroy, bleach and pass melanin through lymphatic vessels. Skin looks white and spot-free.
    3. removing acne

      Excessive secretion of sebum blocks pores. If it is infected by bacteria, acne is developed. Ultrasonic waves help remove sebum and impurities in pores and at the same suppress bacteria.
  • Body Slimming:

    The vibration of ultrasonic waves works to raise the temperature of fat. Fat is decomposed, dissolved and burnt into thermal energy for excretion pout of body. It is effective to parts prone to fat or lack of exercise, such as abdomen, hips, thighs, calves, chin etc. Result is obvious with daily 15 minutes massage for 2 months.


How did it test?

I have been been using it for about 3 days now and i must say I love it.
Its not going to be giving drastic changes over night but i can see improvements to my skin.
I have been getting a lot of dry skin on my nose due to the dry climate lately and all the products i have use wasn't really getting the effect i wanted .
I tried using my normal products with the Kobps and the last 3 days i have seen a big difference in my skin.
My nose is not getting flaky dead skin and i have been using a face slimming cream 2B alternative which has worked really well with the boost of the Ultrasonic hand held.

Verdict :

For $50 USD it was definitely a good purchase as it help enhanced the skin products which i was using and help achieve the results i wanted a bit quicker.
If you think about the amount of money spend on skin products , say $130 for a skin refiner such as Lancome's GENIFIQUE Youth Activating concentrate and adding  $50 to make sure your expensive skincare is getting better results its worth it
