Product Review : ShiroMomo Hada Whitening Water

Hello hello people!!! Before I head off to my event later on today, I shall blog :D I have to admit, I've been a really slackish blogger these days. But I've been losing weight hardworking-ly. I'll share it with you guys next time so no one needs to get cheated again =3

Remember the ShiroMomo Hada Whitening Mist I reviewed awhile ago? I know that there're some of you out there don't really like mists, so here you go, a real toner!

So if you don't like mist, you'll be glad to know they have this ShiroMomo Hada Whitening Water for you to try!

This toner's a clear runny liquid that is almost similar to the Hada Labo one. Actually, I find this to be a cousin of the Hada Labo one... The texture is similar, the effect is similar, except that the Hada Labo one is unscented. However as mentioned previously, I'm a fan of peaches.

I'm not someone who's really sensitive or allergic to scents so to me, it's like a refreshing burst of peaches each time I use it. This toner absorbs quickly too.

Leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth, just like the mist, but slightly more moisturizing. Mist haters, get the toner instead! I use this like how I use Hada Labo. Three drops, then pat pat pat till it all absorbs. Alternatively, you can purchase compressed masks from SASA and use this toner like a mask!

Do note that if used that way, it takes a longer time to absorb fully into the skin. I've described more about the ShiroMomo Hada series before, so check the ShiroMomo Hada Whitening Mist review if you've forgotten! Also, remember that whitening =/= making you few shades fairer, it simply brightens your skin.

This ShiroMomo Hada Whitening Water is available for $16.90 at BHG outlets if I'm not wrong! Well if I am, you can always head over to their Facebook page to ask them about it~

Effectivenes: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (No whitening, brightening! Slightly less hydrating than Hada Labo but the scent...)

Scent: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (My cuppa tea!)

Texture: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (Slightly sticky, but still really easily absorbed)

Overall: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (It's pretty cheap, it works well and it smells good. One of my favorite toners now!)

Love,
Chiharu ❤

Product Review : ShiroMomo Hada Whitening Mist

It has been over a week since the Eternity Inter-Trade private sales and it's about time to review some of the products that I've bought from them! As mentioned on our Facebook page, I got both the ShiroMomo Hada Whitening Mist AND the Water. Well what can I say, I love my peaches. They smell absolutely lovely and got me lusting after them immediately.

The bottle's quite cute to me, like a chubby kinda bottle? I know that sounds strange. However I'm also slightly disturbed by the baby's head in the peach =/ I guess it kinda signifies getting soft, baby-like skin with the usage of the ShiroMomo series but... Babies' heads are creepy > o < (Off topic but I had a nightmare about being haunted by a baby's ghost LOL)

Here's the mist after spritzing on my hand. If you can tell, it's quite a fine mist and you'll not end up with big water droplets all over your face.

Firstly, there will be a lack of photos in this review because... The mist I bought was from the sales so they didn't have any English translation or ingredients list! HOWEVER, I have received information that this mist is...

MINERAL OIL FREE
ALCOHOL FREE
COLOURANT FREE

Finally, an alcohol free face mist!!! I hate alcohol in my face mist. I once had a toner/mist thingy from Etude house that was raved by other bloggers. But upon usage, it stung my face like mad and I had to trash the whole bottle. This mist also contains goodies like peach leaf extract, hyaluronic acid and placenta for fair and dewy skin. Do not ask me what placenta it is because I have no idea at all~

However, what I know is that this is an awesomez face mist!!! It smells super good and refreshing. And if you ever accidentally OD on your powder / foundation, this is an easy fix for you. Spray this all over your face, take a make up sponge and dab off all the excess :D I like using this as a finishing spray so that my face won't look too dry and powdered. According to Eternity Inter-Trade Singapore, you can use this on your body too! I sometimes use this as my toner too. Really makes my face soft and plump, probably like a "baby's skin".

In terms of fairness however, probably because this is just a mist, I haven't really noticed any difference? I'm not a mega pale person and my skin tone has been the same for years already. I would say it more of refreshes a tired face and brightens it instead of making your face fair.

This bottle costs $16.90 and I'd say it's quite a good buy, especially if it's on sale! A bottle will last you for quite some time and it smells so good... So... Why not? :D

Effectiveness : ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (Everything's good, just no fairness really, just brightens~)

Scent: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (What can I say? I love peaches!)

Texture: Similar to water.

Overall: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (I'd buy it again for sure when mine runs out :D)

Love,
Chiharu ❤

Product Review : Fuwarie Airy Curl Keeper

If you've liked Domokie's FB page, you'd know that we actually promised to do a review of the Fuwarie Airy Curl Keeper quite some time ago. It never happened though. Because I'm a simple, average, girl-next-door kinda person. How do I explain it. I don't do fancy hairstyles because I'm someone who's comfortable with my own hair. Just fluff it up a little, a slightly messy look and I'm good to go. So I wasn't sure if anyone wanted a review with a very blah and normal hairstyle.

After deliberating for obviously a super long period of time, I realized that most of us, whether working or studying do not have a lot of time to do our hair. Let's face it, this is Singapore and we'd be happy enough to even get 8 hours of sleep. Majority of the Singaporeans I know would never ever wake up hours earlier just to do their hair. Which is why I've finally decided to put this post up.

Months ago, I bought the...

Fuwarie Airy Curl Keeper! I rarely review any styling products because it's a pain in the ass to wash em off. Ringo uses wax but I find wax an absolute horror. Maybe I'm OCD or something but I do not like to touch wax or hair clay. Anything sticky and icky is a nono.

This one's a hair spray! Means no real need to touchy touchy with my fingers.

Here's how you use it!

And of course, the ingredients list. 

Now... I'm about to show you my hair and how I use it. Firstly, I'd like to clarify that of course this can be used to set braids / buns still but it's kinda pointless to use it on those hairstyles since this is a volumizing spray!

It's so long ago that I've not dyed my hair in this picture =/ My hair is curled, so it doesn't look as long as it is. However when fully straightened, it reaches my waist. Okay it's near my butt actually. My point is, with such long and thick hair, it's quite impossible to have fluffy hair naturally. The weight of your hair will just be pulled down with the aid of gravity and you'll get that picture above, pretty dead and limp.

Here's the after picture. I was trying really hair to capture my hair size but the picture still did not do it justice.

Can you see it's slightly more poofy?

What I do is that I'll just spray my hair with my head upside down and scrunch it with my fingers. Then I flip my hair over and continue scrunching it. Once again, I'm quite anal about getting too much product in my hair so this look was done with a light spritz all over. If you want an even bigger hair, add more, back comb and scrunch!

My favorite way to use this is with a ponytail. When I wear my *cough cough* straw hat out, I like to tie a side ponytail or two. It's definitely not nice if it's too neat and limp so this spray's perfect. It's easier to scrunch a ponytail in my honest opinion.

Now about this spray, it does not smell like the "fruity fragrance" that most people have described. Remember, Domokie's 100% honest regardless of whether the product is sponsored or not. This smells just like your average plastic hair spray kinda smell. It has that slight fruity tinge to it but it's really slight. The typical hair spray scent is still there =/ It does not really bother me because it doesn't linger after using. 

This is also not your extra hard hair spray. It does harden your hair a little and adds texture to give it that hold. My hair dies down after a few hours though but I'm guessing that's due to my superbly extra long and heavy hair. You can bring this out for touch ups though, the can is cute and pretty light so it's quite portable to me.

This spray is available from Watsons for just $9.90 and I say yes, this is definitely worth your price if you're looking for a hair spray! They have another kind of spray meant for odango(big bun) hair! So choose according to your needs :)

Hold: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
Lasting Power: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

Product Review : Bihada Ichizoku Sexy Gloss in Shimmery Pink

Hello my Domokies! I know I said I'd be doing a post on Underwater World tonight but there's TONS of photos to sort through and the lighting is super poor so I'd need to edit each one. That takes time, a lot of time in fact so here's a review to "bribe" you all first!

At the same time, I promised to do this long ago but I didn't have time for it! So sorry Joan! Here it is now~

Remember that a long long long time ago, in a faraway land, I reviewed the Bihada Ichizoku Cheek in Pink? Turns out there's a matching gloss to pair up with the blusher!

Same pretty packaging! But in blue this time round~

Here's the description and ingredients list!

The entire thing is pink :D With gold words, super girly!

Open it up...

Here's the applicator! It's almost like a plastic applicator but this one's truly a brush, it's soft and bendy.

As you can see, it picks up a sufficient amount of gloss! Really thin brush eh? It fooled me the first time I pulled it out, I thought it was a plastic applicator!

So what's this pretty lil gloss supposed to do? Here's the description according to Bihada Ichizoku...

Yeaps, there're two colors, one for the pink lovers like me and another for the nude lip lovers!

L - Without / R - With

SEE HOW GLOSSY IT IS? The color is slightly off so I took a better one for all you lovelies~

Ok I was trying to act sexy and have those luscious thick lips but I don't think that's working very well >____< Never mind that, see how plump my lips look! It's sooooooooo smooth and glossy, making it such that whatever lip lines or dry flakes you have are camouflaged.

This is a beautiful coral-ish pink shade, just like the blush it was made for. It too contains golden shimmers but it's not obvious in the lip swatches above because of the white light that's reflected. To me, this is not an opaque gloss. It WILL enhance the natural rosiness of your lips and bring a little more life to them. The gloss smells delightful, I'm not sure what the exact scent is but I detect maybe... Rose? It's definitely floral but super pleasant and not overwhelming.

This gloss is very slick, thick and sticky all at the same time. It's a gloss that you can wear for longer hours because the thicker / stickier it is, the more hours you'll get out of it. It's wonderful while freshly applied but it causes my lips to crack slightly if I do not reapply when it starts drying. It's still a wonderful gloss though, the color, the scent...

This product is sadly no longer available if I'm not wrong. You can check your nearest SASA to see if they still carry stocks for this! Alternatively, you can drop an email to eternity.singapore@gmail.com if you'd like to purchase directly from their office! It costs $20.90 if I'm not wrong :)


Glossiness : ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Please refer to the picture above to verify.)

Pigmentation : ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ (It's a little sheer, enhances the natural rosiness of your lips.)

Lasting power : ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ (Slightly sticky so this'll last longer than most slippery glosses.)

Overall : ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (Love it, especially the scent!)

Also, remember to join our giveaway for the My Beauty Diary Hello Kitty Strawberry Milk Mask if you haven't already! It's ending soon, giveaway link HERE~

Cheers,

Product Review : Ichikami Hair Treatment Essence

Okay firstly, I have a bad piece of news. It would seem my camera is in the ICU now. So posting might be a little slow and I'll be relying on Ringo for now.

But anyhow, today, I've a great deal for my lovelies!

A product from the Ichikami series! Remember the shampoo and conditioner from Ichikami? Yes, cherry blossoms are back to haunt you!

PLEASE, pardon the mess on my table. I really have nowhere left to keep my stuff!

The ingredients list, hope it's clear enough for all of you~

I really like the whole simple black and pink design. The pink's a really soft shade too :)

Best of all? You get a whopping 100ml in the bottle! Correct me if I'm wrong but most hair essence/serum only gives you 30ml. Most, some give 50ml but 100ml is the biggest I've seen so far!

Here's what it looks like! It looks creamy but truly it is a very lightweight lotion/essence thingy that absorbs really quickly into your hair!

Here's what Ichikami says about this essence!

"A rich, moisturizing leave-in type beauty essence that moisturizes and repairs damaged hair cuticles from within, enhanced with long lasting hair protecting properties to prevent further damage. Formulated with Pure Premium Botanical Essences and Squalan to repair and hydrate each and every strand of hair, resulting in smooth, silky hair that slips right through your fingers." - Said by Ichikami but typed by yours truly! Couldn't copy and paste > o <

In case anyone's confused, Squalan is like olives? A form of it anyway and we all know how beneficial olives are to our hair :D

Here you have my naked hair, it looks kinda alright because I've really been taking good care of it!!! It's just a little unruly, a little messy, a little frizzy, a little rough and a little too many little problems!!!

L - With / R - Without

With a little pump of that essence, it has tamed my hair quite a lot. The curls are more defined, neater and definitely smells better! Like I said, my hair slurps it up greedily leaving it shiny, tamed and delicious. Now that's a weird word but the scent of this essence isn't exactly simply floral to me, it's also somewhat sweet and fruity! I ADORE THIS. I wasn't sponsored this bottle okay, I went to buy it after trying a sample and it's just great! <3 In case anyone's worried, this is slightly sticky at first but all you have to do is to rub it into your hair till it's fully absorbed. All will be well then.

Personally, I like using this on wet hair. Did you know that our hair's just like our face? When we leave it to natural dry, towel dry or even blow dry it, moisture escapes along with the water that's evaporating! So we have to use something to coat our hair and seal all possible leakage of moisture before our hair becomes HAY. With constant usage, your hair feels softer and it's easier to comb through with your fingers without meeting any knots~ So yes, it does do what it claims!

Also, I actually didn't plan on scheduling this review first... But when I learnt of this great deal, I had to!

TA-DA~~~ Yes, poor me, I bought it for $14.90 but now you can get it for $9.70!!! I want a backup :D

Texture : ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (Slightly sticky at first...)

Effectiveness : ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (Definitely softer and more moisturized, prefer this on wet hair though!)

Scent : ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (BRAVO BRAVO. I LOVE IT)

Overall : ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (It's really not bad! Just one star off because I personally prefer something with a little more slick in it. It's just me though, besides it's a great deal to get it now!)

Love,

Chiharu ❤

Product Review : Pink Brown Eyeliner and Pink Brown Curl Mascara

Blogging has been a little slow late, and I sincerely apologize.As much as I try to be a professional, I still get affected by my mood and I don't want it to show in the blog posts.

I've recovered a little and hence I bring a little surprise for all of you today. Something that's new and so far, I haven't seen any dupes out in the market.

It's the... PINK BROWN EYELINER AND MASCARA!

I've never tried anything that has a blend of brown with pink iridescence in it so this is a first for me. Let me first clarify, I've always always been a fan of EXTREMELY black and intense eyeliners / mascaras. I never believed in brown because they were always dark brown and it'll end up looking like black too. I'm referring to liquid liners. Pencil or gel liners wise, I can't judge because I can't use them. My lids are super oily and no amount of primer can help.

So imagine my joy when I had the chance to try out the browns, tinged with my favorite pink color!

I really love how much effort was put into the packaging for just an eyeliner! So cute right? I'm someone who is easily attracted by packaging so... Yea I actually keep a lot of random boxes around my table...

Here's the ingredients list for the eyeliner. Can you spot the goodies? Okay, they're in more scientific names but basically, this product actually contains cherry extract and rose water to care for the our ever so delicate eye area! I think even if you eyes are sensitive, this product shouldn't be a problem to you!

That's the description of the eyeliner along with how to use it. Do remember to shake, it has the roller ball in it so you should hear the clanking of it! I love waterproof stuff because I have oily lids and I like to yawn. Yawning generates tears, I don't want to look like a panda!

Such a girly design, it just screams love!!!

Flowers, almost every girl likes them no?

The applicator. I LOVE IT. It's the same kind as the Dollywink Liquid Eyeliner! It goes on even more smoothly than a felt tip applicator in my honest opinion. Gives better precision too!

Here's the swatch, can you tell that instead of the regular kinda dark browns, this one is light and warm instead? I really love how it looks on my eyes!

Because it's a liquid liner, it has less tendency to smudge. Or at least that's what I've learnt from experience. If you've always had problems with smudging and you want something soft and girly, you can try this. It gives you a more natural oomph and well, if you want it to be really natural, draw it closer to your lashline and make sure it's thin!

It doesn't smudge and I wore this for an entire day. It's waterproof but can easily be removed with make up remover! Or facial wash depending on how strong yours is but I still recommend a make up remover!

I'll probably repurchase if mine runs out because my bf prefers the natural look!

Texture: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Dries quickly upon application and has a wonderful color!!!)

Application: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (The applicator makes application a breeze, so smooth. Just glide it on!)

Lasting power: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Last the whole day for me!)

Overall: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (WILL DEFINITELY REPURCHASE!)

Next up? The PINK BROWN Curl Mascara! I've also never tried any brown mascaras before, this is my first and I have to say, I'm not afraid of browns anymore :)

The same kinda pretty packaging! It's the kind that calls out my name!

Those are the ingredients in case anyone is sensitive to anything...

There's the description and I promise it's as water-proof as it promises to be!

I love floral prints, not only on clothes but on my make up as well!

Also, did I mention that I love comb type applicators? I've found that these work best on my short and stumpy lashes. It really can comb through my lashes and coat each one evenly. I'm also able to reach the inner corner part of my eyes easily because my lashes are the shortest there and I always end up stabbing my eyes with those regular bushy applicator. This one does the job perfectly because it's slanted at the tip!

The same warm brown color~

L - With / R - Without, looking downwards

L - With / R - Without, looking straight ahead.

L - With / R - Without, looking slightly upwards.

Now I know those comparison pictures aren't very clear because I struggled with taking them myself. So here's more close ups!

Sorry for the many lid creases, I was trying to force my eyes shut so I can snap the picture!

SEE. See how long my lashes are now!!!

They're curly too~ Lives up to its name.

Overall, this mascara works so well that I even wish there's a black one to use when I'm doing more dramatic looks! It's a little stubborn though, a little more tough to remove but at least I'm assured that it doesn't come off at any other time of the day.

Ability to hold curls : ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (The picture doesn't lie)
Lasting Power : ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Hard to remove, but totally worth it)
Length : ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Again, pictures don't lie!!!)
Overall : ★ ★ ★ ★ ★(It's an excellent product no doubt. Wishing for a black too though!)

Here's a look I did up with these products!

Don't laugh at my expression please~

Really girly and sweet right?

Dreamy too...

YOU can achieve the soft, girly and natural look too! These products are launching soon at SASA in July~

The EYELINER is $23.90.
The MASCARA is $24.89.

Try it! I recommend using a pink eyeshadow to bring out the pink in the liner! You can also try smudging out the liquid liner for an even softer look.
