Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover Review

Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover 1

Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover is a newly launched (few months now) jelly-style makeup remover that resembles a cleansing oil.

If you’re not a big fan of cleansing oils or you’re a bit of afraid of them (you shouldn’t be they are fab), Aqua Jelly might be for you!

Kose Clear Turn Facial Sheet Mask Review

Kose Clear Turn mak

Kose makes a variety of Clear Turn Facial Sheet Masks for a very low cost. These are terribly tempting facial sheet masks since they contain 26 masks in a single package and run around $8.

They are actually fairly easy to find at smaller Asian shops and markets as well.

But here’s a tip, avoid them.

Lunasol Shining Eyes Review & Swatches

Lunasol Shining Eyes 1

This a little late of a review since Lunasol Shining Eyes were released Spring 2010. But I realized I never reviewed them here on Musings and decided to do so today.

I’m a big fan of this type of Japanese cream eyeshadow. Many, many brands have a similar sort of product however, my first try with them were from Visee.

Let’s take a look!

Rosette Hello Kitty Strong Mint Wash Review

Rosette Hello Kitty Strong Mint Wash

I’m obsessed with all things mint in the Summer (and the Winter for that matter). That cool, tingling feeling you get in the shower when you’re using some fantastically minty shower gel (my favorite, Bliss Shock Therapy).

You might recall Japanese brand, Rosette, teamed up with Sanrio to launch some rather cute Hello Kitty packaged skincare goodies. One of the more recent products to come out of that launch is the Rosette Hello Kitty Strong Mint Wash.

Take note people, they really mean STRONG!

Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil Review

Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil 1

I’m sure you’ve heard about Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil by now. Although I love dabbling with many a cleansing oil I must say I always come back to Fancl. It’s simple and in that simplicity I find perfection.

Take a look!

Shu Uemura Whitefficient UV Under Base Brightening Mousse SPF 30 PA+++ Review & Swatches

Shu Uemura Whitefficient UV Under Base Brightening Mousse SPF 30 PA+++

Shu Uemura Whitefficient UV Under Base Brightening Mousse was recently released in Japan. We haven’t seen this one here in the US but fans of Shu’s original UV Mousse will be quite familiar with this one.

The original Shu Uemura Whitefficient UV Under Base Mousse offered SPF 30 and came in a soft, mousse formula that absorbed easily. I don’t think they actually carry it anymore in the US but don’t quote me, it’s been a while since I explored Shu’s master line.

Shu Uemura Whitefficient UV Under Base Brightening Mousse simply adds the benefits of whitening to the mix. So if you’re looking to brighten, whiten, or ease dullness on your face it might be one you’d select over the original UV base.

Take a look!

BSC 5 in 1 Whitening & Moisturising Crystal Mask Review

BSC 5 in 1 Whitening Moisturising Crystal Mask 1

BSC makes a great range of crystal gel masks that I absolutely adore. These are always Buy 1, Get 1 on Sasa too so you can get your savings on when repurchasing.

However….

They kinda suck.

Softymo Makeup Remover Sheet Review

Softymo Makeup Remover Sheet

I recently purchased a box of Softymo Makeup Remover Sheets since I’m such a huge fan of Softymo’s Airy Whip. I dunno why everything Softymo releases gets narrowed down to the awesomeness of Airy Whip but that it does.

I should know better than to indulge in these makeup sheets as they are typical blah for removing waterproof mascara.

Perhaps these are different?
