Today seems to be my kiddy-stuff review day hehe =D Anyways, I just have to share these cute BabyBathDay Bath Powders from Kokubo as they are really nice... each pack features either the Little Twin Stars or My Melody but they seem to be pretty much the same stuff to me otherwise.

These can be found on Sasa and are on the pricey side (around US$2 per bath isn´t cheap) however I picked up a few for my youngest daughter´s sensitive skin.
These powders are unscented and tint the water a soft milky yellow (my daughter would prefer pink though hehe). Just pour a sachet (or actually I use half as my daughter doesn´t need so much water for her bath) and enjoy.
The BabyBathDay Bath Powders keep the skin really soft and moisturized, even very sensitive children skin.

Overall very cute product, I wish they´d sell this stuff in a big tub though!

Yanagiya Prexceed X Sanrio Little Twin Stars Hair Moisture Essence

Today I am reviewing the pretty much cutest hair care item I own =) I don´t know how about you but the Little Twin Stars were some of my most favorite characters when I was a little kid. I liked them much more than Hello Kitty and even My Melody as Kiki & Lala were just too cute! I had all sorts of stationery and other goodies from the Little Twin Stars and I am so happy that Sanrio is finally doing a collaboration with a beauty brand for something that is NOT from Hello Kitty!

Yanagiya is a famous Japanese haircare brand and they did a collaboration with Hello Kitty some time ago. I am generally fond of the Yanagiya hair creams and the Little Twin Stars version was a sure must-get for me!


The tube is really pretty and typically Sanrio. The hair cream is a rich white cream with a slightly oily feel. It has a sweet scent which reminds me of those grape-scented fineliner pens Sanrio used to sell.

The Hair Moisture Essence should be used on either wet or dry hair though on dry hair it could get a bit greasy in my opinion.

Anyway, this stuff makes my hair soft and shiny and nicely fragranced so I definitely will use up my cute tube of hair cream (though I haven´t even used up my Hello Kitty one).

Yanagiya Prexceed x Hello Kitty Tsubaki Hair Moisturizing Essence Super Rich

I thought since I just reviewed the Hello Kitty Collagen Wash from Rosette why not review the other Hello Kitty colaboration product I have?
 
Yanagiya has this popular Tsubaki hair moisture cream range out...in various levels of richness... I think I have a few here but haven´t tried any of the Tsubaki creams as I have quite a few other treatments open and in need to be used up first.
I recently picked up the Prexceed Hello Kitty Tsubaki Hair Moisturizing Essence which is a Limited Edition...just couldn´t resist the cute kimono kitty!


This comes in a gorgeous shiny red squeeze tube and contains 120g which will last really long (It took me many many months to use up another 120g tube of a Yanagiya hair cream). This Hair Moisturizing Essence is "super rich" which means it´s for damaged and dry hair and only little should be used or you will get greasy locks.

Use on shampooed damp hair, don´t rinse off as it´s a leave-in treatment. Recommended to use at night to enjoy super soft hair in the morning.
Here you can see a hairy kitty using this stuff (she looks stupid with hair!):

This stuff really smells good! Like fresh sweet apples! it´s indeed a rich white cream treatment and gives me really soft and smooth hair so I think it´s nice stuff. The only thing negative I notice is that my hair isn´t as shiny as I like...no idea why that´s so.

Overall a nice hair care cream worth checking out!
I got mine from alphabeautyuk on eBay.

Rosette x Hello Kitty Collagen Wash

Rosette is my favorite skincare brand right now... I am sure you must be tired of my raves for the Soys line but actually the more known skincare line from Rosette is the one featuring Hello Kitty! I reviewed the sheet masks some while ago so today I will bring you the review of the Hello Kitty Collagen Wash!
 
There are several face washes in the Hello Kitty line but only the Collagen Wash is suitable for dry and sensitve skin-types so I purchased it on Sasa (around US$8).

To my delight the Collagen Wash is the one in the pink tube =P I love pink so that´s perfect hehe...
The tube contains 120g and is marked "For sale in Japan only" =P

The wash itself is a thick white paste that lathers up nicely into a very dense soft and silky froth so I only need to take very little each time. Even better foam can be achieved when I´m using one of those Japanese foaming nets that can be purchased on Sasa or eBay. They are used only to create lather and are not actually used on the face.
This product is scented with a crisp apple fragrance which is actually quite nice in my opinion. The foam is gentle and leaves my skin soft and clean albeit slightly dry.

Overall this is a really nice face wash well suitable for normal-dry skin-types. I wouldn´t recommend this to very dry, very sensitive and very oily skin though.
