Some Pretty Japanese Shampoos
Wednesday December 05, 2012 
So a few months ago I came across all these gorgeous Japanese shampoos & body washes while looking into the Reveur line. Then just recently imomoko started getting them in, one-by-one!!! I’m most interested in the “Playback” line. It seems the most helpful. “Gift” is basically just roses in a bottle, so I’m cool with that too! Though nonetheless they all have such great aesthetics.

“Classic” Herbal Essences
And on the subject of hair care, I keep seeing the ads for “Classic” Herbal Essences rose hip shampoo in Japanese magazines.
This line is really nostalgic to me. I used to get it sometimes when I was young as a sort of luxurious treat. It was much more expensive than my usual shampoo & conditioner. I think it was $4.99 a bottle? And we were a 99¢ bottle household. So now whenever I do smell it, that heavy sense of nostalgia comes rushing back. Though I do recall it being pretty crummy on my limp, volume-lacking hair. It still smelled amazing.
I don’t think the “Classic” line is available in the US but their “Color Me Happy” uses Moroccan rose. I’ve never bothered to look for it though. I’ll do that next time I’m out!

Friday
Passed by the Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama window display while out Friday night. Went to grab something small to eat (bruschetta) then had 3 rum & diet cokes. Should have stopped at just two. Stayed out til 2am.
Saturday
Homemade pancakes with Pumpkin Spice butter spread and sugar free syrup.
Stayed in most of the day getting addicted to Homeland. Actually watched the entire first season this weekend! Got caught up for the amazing premiere of season 2.
Did not disappoint.
Used this “hot moist sheet” face mask as well. It wasn’t really the best. It didn’t get warm enough for me. I still think these Kao ones are better and cheaper. But it was fun to try and the gel on the mask was relaxing. You get two so I’ll use the other one some other day. Damn packaging is freaking cute though!
Sunday
Sunday I ran errands then I treated my feet to some post-summer care and I also colored my hair a dark brown. I used John Frieda Precision Foam Color in 5N Medium Natural Brown again. I used the same color in May ‘11. I haven’t colored my hair since October ‘11 though. I liked May’s color better. It faded more gracefully :) So I went with it again.
I’m really happy with it like before :deco3:
This is photo of it from today. I got rained on twice already before this. It’s a terribly rainy day. :rainy: I also got a huge smudge of Fiberwig mascara on this shirt this morning. I’m treating the stain now. :deco13:
It’s from UNIQLO who will be launching a US webstore this autumn so…. I could just replace it finally!
