Heavy Rotation Colouring Eyebrow 800yen
I don't think it's common in the states or Europe, but it's very popular in Japan to use eyebrow mascara to lighten our eyebrows. I think 70-80% of girls who colours their hair use eyebrow mascara or bleach their eyebrows to match the colours.
My hair tends to turn to yellowy brown whichever colour I choose so I usually pick the brightest eyebrow mascara so that my eyebrows don't stand out. I've tried a few different ones until now but in my opinion this one is the best so far!
It looks like a small mascara. You can choose from 3 different colours; yellow, orange and ash-brown. I picked ash-brown because I am going to colour my hair ashy-beige soon and thought this colour would be the best match.
It's got this small brush as an applicator.It works very well in my opinion, it doesn't colour my skin at all but does its job perfectly.
My eyebrows are pretty dark without eyebrow mascara but it looks like I bleached it, doesn't it? I will start bleaching my eyebrows as I purchased a bleach kit the other day from Vitacost, then it will look more natural I guess. As I mentioned I have tried some different eyebrow mascara but one of them had shimmery formula which looked weird on my eyebrow, and another had a big brush which was difficult to use without colouring my skin around eyebrows, and the others I don't even remember. This one is the best so far, I would recommend it if you're looking for eyebrow mascara!

Soap and Glory The Breakfast Scrub £9.50
This is the product I wanted to try out the most from Soap and Glory. When I heard Estee from essiebutton saying that the scent made her want to eat it because it smelled just like maple syrup, I thought I HAD TO try it out. How many beauty products smelling like maple syrup have you seen? But the problem was that Soap and Glory didn't deliver to Japan. So I got it from eBay as that was the only way to get their products! The postage was pretty expensive but I don't regret it -because I am totally in love with this product!
First of all, I love the jar. This round-shaped jar reminds me of a jar of fruits jam or chocolate spread or peanut butter that I liked when I was little. The body scrub I had been using before was mainly salt or sugar soaked into plant oils and essential oils, so it was pretty harsh on my skin. But look how different this body scrub is! The consistency is a little bit gloopy and thick but it spreads very well on my wet skin. It contains organic cupuacu bio scrubs, bananas, almond and honey extracts which exfoliate and nourish your skin at the same time.
I love this consistency because it's so smooth on my skin and easy to massage in. It leaves my skin soft and smooth, and smelling absolutely fantastic. I love love love this scent. It's kind of addictive that I literally want to use it every single day. It smells just like maple syrup like Estee said, and it's also got this subtle scent of banana which gives fruitiness to it. I usually don't like sweet scent in the shower but this one doesn't smell too strong at all and I just can't get enough of it.
I wonder why they don't make shower gel and body lotion in the same scent, although this product is loved so much!
Despite the sweet scent, the base of the product is not sugar. It's salt. Which means that whenever you exfoliate your skin with it you have to be careful not to rub it in too hard because usually salt is a little bit harder and harsher than sugar and takes time to melt.
It leaves a very subtle scent on my skin afterwards which is simply amazing. It makes me feel so happy! I would repurchase this product for sure, I would get 5 of them next time I go to England!!
I purchased The Righteous Butter in this smaller jar at the same time from eBay, but unfortunately I didn't like the scent :( It was too strong and too perfumey for me and I was very disappointed as I had high expectation for this product.
I am very interested in their makeup, skincare and haircare products as well. Have you tried any of their products? What is your favoruite? Let me know!
Skinnygirl Sangria Bath Kit $13.75
I purchased it from Vitacost.com where you can get American stuff from. I was looking for some good bath products and the fragrance "Sangria" caught my eyes. I thought it could be a refreshing scent which is perfect for the morning shower. This kit includes shower gel, body lotion and body scrub.
I am not a big fan of the name of the brand to be honest. I think it was originally a wine brand and the name is something to do with the wine but still I just don't like the name at all. Being skinny isn't always a good thing and a brand representing that being skinny is good isn't just right in my opinion.
As for the products, they both smells like an air refresher for a bathroom. I was super disappointed when I smelt it because it didn't evoke Sangria at all. I don't know how to describe the scent but it was a very cheap smell.
They work OK as shower gel and body lotion. Shower gel foams OK, and body lotion doesn't make my skin sticky. But the smell kills me every time I use it :(
The scrub smells stronger I think. If you are a fan of this smell, you will love it. It's got small beads in it which exfoliates skin without irritation. I like how it feels on my skin, well...again, except the smell which lasts quite long.
Overall, I was very disappointed at the quality and the scent. But I asked a friend of mine if she liked the smell and she said "It smells so good, Japanese beauty products don't smell like this at all so for me it's like a scent of overseas!" so it could be just me. Skinnygirl has some supplements as well which I'm thinking of trying someday!
