Tabibijin Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion

Having finished up Kokutousei Moisturizing Lotion, I started using this 150mL bottle of Tabibijin Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion. It came in a set along with the Super Hyaluronic Milk, which I'm almost done with also. 

Three Flash Performance Eyeliner Pencil

Finally, finally, finally got around to using my Three Flash Performance Eyeliner Pencils. The thing is, I've already swatched them with the store's indoor lighting and did all the ooohs and ahhhs. I even described their colors and whatnot, so this post is pretty much to confirm the obvious that these eyeliners are awesome and I love them.

The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter

Picked up this 90mL/2.7fl. oz. of The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter thinking it was a cleansing cream. Turns out it's a cream-to-oil cleanser. Oops.

Quick rant on the packaging: it sucks. I wonder why they think it'd be a good idea to put a cream-to-oil cleanser in a wide and flat round container with a twist cap. Because it's really hard to open, and then once the stuff got onto your hand, it's impossible to close. What's the logic here? I don't get it!

Lunasol Shinjuku Isetan Exclusive Feathery Smoky Eyes and Full Glamour Lips Swatches

So I happened to be in Shinjuku yesterday and decided to stop by Isetan to see if they have store samples of the Lunasol 2016 fall collection. To my luck (or misfortune, depends how you look at it), they did.

Of course the first thing I asked to see was the exclusive Feathery Smoky Eyes EX01 and Full Glamour Lips EX08. I nearly drooled when I saw them--they're gorgeous, though be forewarned, they both are also very warm-toned, reminiscent of autumn's orange-red. Seasonally appropriate, I suppose, but not for everyone.

HiPitch Cleansing Oil M (Mild Type)

Given how HiPitch Deep Cleansing Oil W and its splish-splashiness annoyed the hell out of me, I don't even know why I picked up this 190mL bottle of Cleansing Oil M (Mild Type). Impulse buy, may be? Or I was hoping this mild version would have a better texture than the regular one, like how DHC Mild Touch Cleansing Oil and FANCL Mild Cleansing Oil both have that thicker, cushy jelly texture. What was I thinking?

Well, I wasn't. And I wasn't surprised either that this Mild Type is just as thin and runny. Every time I pump some out on my palm it splatters everywhere. Urgh. Honestly, I can't tell the difference at all between this Mild Type and the regular version. They share even the citrusy scent and they don't rinse totally clean. So no more HiPitch oil cleansers for me! Time to move on.

Cocopalm Natural Shampoo

Using this 600mL bottle of Cocopalm Natural Shampoo right now and liking it quite a bit! Since using Tsubaki Oil Nouveau 2015 Shampoo, I've been seeking out the non-silicone instead of regular shampoos. This Cocopalm fits the bill. It's advertised as "amino acid and non-silicone," and also free of sodium laureth sulfate, paraben, mineral oil, and additives. According to Cocopalm's brand website, the shampoo also has hibiscus and papaya essence. 

Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm

I'm almost done with this 7mL/0.23oz. jar of Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm, a part of the Sephora Favorites 2015 Skin Wonderland kit an angel sent me back in the spring.

Skin Aqua Super Moisture Gel SPF50+ PA++++

Just finished this 110g bottle of Skin Aqua Super Moisture Gel SPF50+ PA++++ so here's a quick review. This is a stronger version of the UV Moisture Gel that's still available in SPF35 PA+++ and SPF30 PA+++.

Tokyo Eats - Roppongi Area Part III

It's taken us a while but hubby and I are slowly exploring the Roppongi area for good food ^.^

This Hainan Jeefan Shokudo in Azabu-Juban was a discovery from last fall. Hubby and his colleagues stumbled upon it and that was that. Funny enough I don't like the Singapore chicken rice, but I'll give them due credit that the chicken rice here is out of this world! My god that breast meat is unbelievably tender and juicy. How do they do it?! Anyway, I prefer their curry to the chicken rice, because it tastes like mum's curry ^.^

Tokyo Eats - In the neighborhood Part III (Picture heavy!)

More food posts because we eat out a lot ^.^ The spring was spectacular with all the blooms, though I nearly clawed my eyes out because of allergies. I took lots of sakura pictures but I'm behind as usual, so I'll post them later when I get there.
