Review - Golden Slim by Funaicare

I have a real weakness for slimming products, whenever i make large beauty purchases i always seem to get some product that promises to make you thin in next to no time.

The last get thin quick product i bought was Golden Slim brand Funaicare who specialise in health and weight loss products. Of course i was a little sceptical of this product and after i had purchased it i was all like why did i waste my money on yet another stupid slimming cream ?!?!?!?!!!

But i have to say i was pleasantly surprised by this product. it claims to deeply penetrate the skin to help break down fat stores (cellulite) so your body processes it as energy, resulting in an almost instant slimming and smoothing effect. The effect is meant to last for one whole day.

The gel is super light and the same kind of consistency of those dettol hand sanitisers. It is super fast absorbing and the effects can be seen in only a few minutes. You can feel the gel tightening your skin, and smoothing out your bumps.

The gel really only does last for around one day, and because of the gels alcohol rub like consistency I think it really just works on removing excess fluid from that area.

Still i really like this cream, its perfect for when you a night out in a super short dress or even if you just want to suck everything in a little bit if your going to the beach. And because its not very expensive (around $20 from sasa.com) its definitely worth a try.

Results:

before: middle thigh width 43.3cm

After middle thigh width 42cm -1.3cm

Pro:

• instant slimming effect
• absorbed very quickly, no sticky residue

Cons:

• effect only lasts for up to one day

Rating 4/5

Review - BRTC gold caviar bb cream

This review is long over due, i bought this quite awhile ago off sasa.com

BRTC and this cream imparticular seemed to be one of the most popular bb creams on the market. As i am fairly new to bb creams i thought it was best to try a few well known brands to start off with. Another reason why i got this one is because it is meant to be one of the darker bb creams on the market.

This cream has a ridiculously high spf of 50 and also boasts skin whitening, moisturising and anti aging effects.

I like the darker colour of this cream, so it is great for summer when you are a little bit more tanned. unlike most bb creams it has a light liquid texture and because it is more of a liquid then a cream, it is super easy to spread and blend in.

I did find this cream to be a lot oiler then other bb creams i have tried recently, so it needs a little while to set and you defiantly need to apply a powder on top.

Another disadvantage caused by the oiliness of the cream is it does tend to come off in the heat quite easily and go a little oily on your face. It will stay on well if you don't stay outside for too long tho... This is a huge downside for me, as i bought this to wear in summer (30degrees+ weather).

So i still kinda like this product, but will probably try a lower spf one in their range which should hopefully be less oily.

Rating: 3/5

Not for those of you with oily skin! For the rest of us, keep some blotting paper on hand when the temperature rises.

Review - Sasatinnie bb cream

Recently i bought the Sasatinnie bb cream off sasa.com, for around $10USD. Coming into summer here i really wanted to get a lighter foundation with a really high SPF to wear during the hot sunny summer days.

The cream is a very light beige and a thick sunscreen like consistency, making it a little hard to blend in. I got the unfragranced version but even this one seems to have a slight floral fragrance and sunscreen smell to it.

The product does boast about whitening your skin, and it does do it pretty well because of the very light colour of the cream and the high spf rating which reflects light off your face making it appear lighter.

Although it does only offer a very light coverage, with only a little reduction in redness. And with the thick consistency it is quite hard to layer it to increase the coverage.

one thing i loved is that it does dry very quickly and evenly, so you can apply powder on top instantly. The fragrance fades after a few hours which is good, because it actually irritates my nose a little. I have found now that the product has been opened for a few weeks, that the products fragrance has faded.

Swatches: blob of product, then half rubbed in on the right (you can see it is very reflective!)

This product does have some benefits: quick drying, no greasy feel or appearance, long lasting.

However, it does have a strong fragrance for a facial product, minimal coverage of redness and marks.

Depending what you are looking for, this could be a pro/con: slight whitening effect

This isn't my favourite BB cream, but would be really good for those looking purely for a face whitening cream.

Review: Candy doll - lip gloss macaroon pink

I purchased the candy doll pink macaroon lip gloss recently, I thought it was going to be a nice light pink judging from the pictures on pretty much every website.

When it arrived I was surprised at how how strong and how patent the colour was! I was hesitant to try it, as super pink lips was not the look I was going for.

I actually found you only really need a dab of the gloss to completely cover your lips, so you end up with a light translucent veil of pink, not like you’ve gone and stuck your lips in a fairy floss machine. 

The packaging is simple, and the size is nice and compact so you can easily keep it in your bag.

bath salt review

 Over the past few months i have been trying a few different bath salts, some moisturising, sweat baths and relaxing salts.

Here is just a quick review on the products I tried:

Description: ' Bison Bath Additive 7 Hot Spices is enriched of 7 Hot Spices and Hot Spring Minerals. It generates moderate heat for rampant sweating, draining away waste and fat. It also works to moisturize skin for a soft, smooth and clean appearance. 60g '

Not my favourite Bison Bath, I was hoping for more of a sweating effect with this one but i found it to be rather mild. Bath salts had a nice smell but disappeared somewhat when added to the water.

Description: ' Bison Bath Additives (Rose Champagne) is enriched of skin-care elements such as rose hip essence, rose extract, hot-spring mineral, hyaluronic acid and collagen. Take a hot bath and your skin becomes soft, smooth and clean. The bath water becomes champagne pink in colour when the bath salt is fully dissolved. 60g'

Loved !! this bath. Beautiful colour and smell, the bath turned a milky light pink colour with what started out as a kind of artificial grape smell to a soft floral fragrance once in the water. The bath had a mild sweating effect, which is perfect if you still want to lie back and relax in the bath. the milkiness of the bath water slowly disappeared during the bath, at first coating my skin in a silky layer before it was absorbed. The bath left my skin feeling so soft and moisturised. Will defiantly buy this one again!

Descirption: ' FITS ATATAME-BIJIN Ginger & Citrus Bath Additive contains 7 kinds of hydrating ingredients from Japan and China as well as sea salt, a disinfecting and astringent ingredient. Mix it with hot water and bathe to moisturize your skin gradually while sweating a lot. 50g '

I loved the smell of this bath, very refreshing! It says 'sweating a lot' but i would say its more of a mild-medium sweat bath, a little bit of sweating but nothing like this is really hot. I bought the matching cream fro this bath, absolutely love the smell, don't get turned off by the ginger part, its a more a very light citrus fragrance. Reminds me of Summer. But definitely not the nicest bath colour!

Description: 'FITS ATATAME-BIJIN Sake & Sakura Bath Additive contains 7 kinds of hydrating ingredients from Japan and China. Mix it with hot water and bathe to leave the body warm and the skin smooth. 50g'

I found this bath had a minimal heating effect, but it isn't meant to be a full on sweat bath. I loved the smell of this bath, the fragrance was light and natural. The moisturising effect wasn't that great either, but i love the smell so i might buy it again because of that.

i Forgot to take a picture of the salts for this one, so just the packet will have to do.

Description: ' Bison Funwarich Mousse Bath, Pudding forms a creamy mousse veil on skin, tenderly wrapping skin to infuse the potent ingredients. Skin becomes dewy and supple. In addition, softening ingredient is contained to remove dead skin, revealing the bright and smooth appearance. It comes with a thread of delicious pudding scent which releases your soul. It makes an enjoyable bath! 30g'

I hated this one!! its a fluro orange colour which wouldn't be so bad if it didn't leave orange marks all over my bath!! I had to scrub down the bath and myself to get rid of the orange residue left behind. Apart from that the bath was thick and had a super caramel coffee smell the entire time which hung around the bathrrom for days. It did moisturise my skin but the moisturising  effects really aren't enough to make me want to buy it again.

All product Bought from Sasa.com

OMG SASA now sells Candy Doll!!

oh geeze, I have been wanting to try some candy doll make up for ages now, but every website that sells it and ships to Australia, which is very few, seem to be very overpriced! I really don't want to pay $20 for a lip gloss.
Candy doll has just come out with a new range that I have seen Tsubasa promoting, but this isn't on Sasa.com yet, I've got my fingers crossed that they will get it in stock. 

I just ordered something off sasa a few weeks ago now and a i don't really want to place an order so soon, i have to try and not spend all my money.

But so tempting!

Another brand that I would love to see sold online is DUP, they make the best   natural everyday looking lashes, a bunch of nail art tools and some other cosmetics. But they seem to be next to impossible to get.

Anyone know where to get DUP lashes from?

Koji Linequeen review

Koji - LINEQUEEN Eyeliner (Real Black)

$12.70 from Sasa.com

This is my all time favourite eyeliner!!!

It is a liquid pen liner with a super fine tip which makes it easy to apply and achieve the wing looks.

The eyeliner comes out faintly at first, so good for everyday/office looks and you can apply a second coat if you want a really dramatic dark line.

The eyeliner is smudge proof and waterproof, it actually stays on all day and all night. Because it is a liquid liner the colour once dry doesn't migrate around your eye area like pencil liners ofetn do.

I actually went swimming with this eyeliner on once, and it didnt run all down my face! It did fade a little but it was still in the same place i applied it.

You would think that seeing as it stays on so well itd be such a pain to remove, but it comes off easily enough with a foaming facial cleanser or makeup remover, if using facial cleanser you might need to wash your eye area twice as there can sometimes be some residue left behind.



Swatches, left is one coat, right is two coats. You can see the fine tips it makes at the bottom

Sasa.com Haul

Recently i ordered a huge bunch of stuff from http://www.sasa.com/, which is a Hong Kong based company selling a wide range of beauty and health products.

They offer two tiers of free shipping, $75USD for free standard shipping which takes 2-3 weeks or spend $150USD to get free express shipping which only takes about a week. With the range of products offered and the reasonable prices, its not hard at all to wrack up a shopping cart of $150. The products come packaged in brown cardboard boxes with packing peanuts and then wrapped in bubble wrap. It seems like a little too much packing for the size of what you order, but there is not chance anything will get damaged in transit!

I ordered a bunch of bath salts, two mascaras and my favourite eyeliner to replace my current one which is about to run out.


The many bath salts i ordered. Most of them are sweat baths. The Bison ones in the middle are my favourite, they really have nice smells, colours and a good sweat factor. I am very excited to try the step baths and the new Bison cooling baths as its almost summer here, i will post a review on some of these later, when i have used a few.



here are the two mascaras i got, both fiber ones and both have 5/5 on Sasa.

WINK UP Perfect Style Mascara (Black), Sana
