Happy Easter!!

Mmmm I’m stuffed from a heavy lamb dinner and about to go take a hot soak. So I thought I’d post some quick reviews of a few bath items!

First up is a baking soda bath salt called “毛穴撫子　重曹白肌風呂.” It contains silk, rice bran, and fermented soymilk as main ingredients.

It’s a deep cleaning salt that’s supposed to peel away your dead skin leaving you feeling refresh and silky. Very fragrant! The scent is only described as “powder” scent [おしろい] but it’s not a typical US “baby powder” scent (which I hate btw.) It’s an amazing wonderful scent!! The water feels soft as if lotion was added. Very moisturizing. Scent disappears quickly though. Color is milky light pink. I really wish I had more than just 1 packet of this, it was fantastic for a moisturizer bath salt! Received a 4.3 on Cosme.net. Looks like imomoko.com is currently selling it if anyone is interested.

Next up is Kracie’s ひきしめ美肌 face mask! A tightening face mask in all black!

Its color is from the ingredients of charcoal and other natural minerals supposedly from springs in Okinawa. The scent is all business. It mostly just smells like a moisturizing lotion. You leave it on for about 20 minutes. Has pretty good immediate effects but nothing long term. Since it doesn’t really have an aroma this isn’t for “relaxing” purposes. It’s a serious business face firming mask! Received a rating of 4.4 at cosme.net. Cosmelandusa.com is selling 5 packs.
