HANA Organic Moon Night Milk

HANA Organic Moon Night Milk  4500yen

I wrote about HANA organic HERE right after I started this blog. HANA organic is my favourite Japanese beauty brand and I even think their quality represents formality for beauty of us Japanese. Look at the packaging, it looks very elegant, beautiful and Japanesey somehow, doesn't it? But of course, it's not just the packaging that is good.

This is actually nighttime moisturizer. It repairs your skin during sleep when your skin barrier becomes weaker. It contains organic rose water and many different essential oils such as ylang ylang, orange, neroli, lavender, geranium and clary sage. As you might be able to imagine, it smells amazing. It mainly smells rosy, but not like a sweet innocent scent, it's more like a mysterious herbal mature scent if it makes sense.

It's a quite loose consistency which spreads very well on your skin. I only need two pumps to cover my whole face which means it lasts long. It doesn't make my skin oily or greasy, but it feels like it creates a thin moisture barrier on my skin. It is moisturizing enough for my dry skin, but at the same time I think it's suitable for oily / combination skin as well because it's such a light texture.

Their products are not the cheapest in the world but they are effective and feel good to use. I gave a small sample to my friend and she fell in love with it and now she bought the full-sized one. I strongly recommend this item for any skin types!

Make Up Forever Black Tango Nail Polish - Blue Black

I wrote about the same nail polish in "Green Black" the other day, and today I would like to write about the colour called "Blue Black".  Blue Black is a very dark navy colour, which looks less blackish than Green Black in my opinion.

It doesn't have glitters but it's got this very beautiful shimmer in it, which looks chick and nice. I personally like the green one better than this one, just because the green one goes better with my skin tone.

Again, their nail polish is very easy to apply, and it leaves very strong colour with two coats. It gets dry quickly, I think it didn't take 15 minutes to dry completely. I love both colours and will be wearing them a lot this autumn / winter! They've got another colour "Red Black" which is also amazing. I don't own this one unfortunately but it is a classic red which all girls should have! 

What do you think of this blackish colours? :)

Redken Haircare Products!

Redken Scalp Relief Dandruff Control Shampoo
Redken All Soft Conditioner

As we don't have Redken here in Japan, I didn't know about the brand at all until I've read a blog post or watched a video or something a few months ago. It didn't catch my attention by its looks or opinions by bloggers, but I found their Scalp Relief Shampoo on feelunique when I was looking for a good shampoo which doesn't irritate my scalp. I did a little research about it and read some reviews, and found out that people who had a sensitive scalp loved this product. So I decided to give it a try! To pair with this shampoo, I picked the best selling conditioner.

  
I was a bit surprised to see this white liquid as I didn't expect anything like this! It looks like a paint or something, a very unusual look for Shampoo.

It's recommended to apply on your dry scalp, massage into it and leave it for 5 minutes, then add warm water and wash your hair like you normally do. I tried this way but it didn't work for me. It made my scalp greasy somehow although usually it's very dry. Maybe it means it worked because my scalp was no longer dry but it shouldn't make it greasy either...right? 

So now I rinse my hair with warm water first, then wash my hair with this shampoo. I think it does work, because since I started using this shampoo my scalp has calmed down. Before I had a serious problem with my scalp, sometimes it didn't let me sleep because of itching! 

It smells minty and herbal which I am not a big fan of, but it doesn't leave any scent on my hair so it doesn't matter.

Then let's move on to this conditioner which I am in love with. This is definitely one of the best conditioner I've ever used. It makes my hair so soft as it claims. I cannot imagine how soft my hair would be when I use this conditioner paring with all soft shampoo!

It smells like coconut to me, although some people say it smells peachy and fruity. Is it my nose...? Again it doesn't leave a scent on my hair much, which is a shame because I like this smell. My mum has really stiff hair which is opposite to me, and she noticed the huge difference on her hair after she used this conditioner. She loves it and would like to repurchase it once we run out of it. 

I really like Redken, it's not too pricey but does its job. Do you like Redken? What's your favourite item of it? :)
