I decided to go to my local salon downtown and get my roots done. I had let them go for a good six or seven months longer than necessary, looking gorgeous like this:
You know what time it is: the Sephora bag under my makeup table is full, so it's time for another installment of Trash Talk, where I talk briefly about recent empties.
Sake powerhouse Kikumasamune has been in the brewing business since its founding in 1659, with a long-standing dedication to their trade. The brand also have been the lead sake maker in Japan for some 350 years, up until 2009. Generally, Kikumasamune typically only uses water and kome-koji (malted rice) as main ingredients to help achieve the classic signature smooth, dry taste. Taking this approach from the brand's sake brewing to it's recently foray into cosmetics in the past decade or so, Kikumasamune takes the fermented goodness in its sake and happy lets you drink (!!!) the benefits, on your face.
Containing actualKikumasamune branded fermented sake, this line of hydrating skin care lotion is definitely one to consider incorporating into a skincare routine--don't drink this, of course!. The hydrating toner provides moisture to the skin, fresh after cleansing, while helping to create a canvas.
This review has been a long time coming: I recently bought the normal Kikumasamune version and have been using it enough that I can accurately compare this to the "high moist" version, in the pink bottle. Also, it's taken me a good year and a half to get through my first and only bottle of the high moist--bear with me!
Also, since many have complained to various levels about the lack of English translations of the bottle and ingredients, I'm here to give extra presents.
Hello!!!!! I figured it was time to finally do a review of Pure Smile's popular CHOOSY Lip Patches. I have a couple in my stash, but this quick review will be about the honey "flavour".
