Beauty SOS With Meishoku Bigansui Medicated Lotion Toner

Hi Huneybees,

I found a little beauty "treasure" whilst shopping at Don Don Donki and I must share with you. For months I've been bugged by acne/pimples/blemishes on my cheeks and chin. No matter what acne patch or cream I use, it just doesn't seem to go away. I was reaching desperation, not wanting to go out to face the world.

Luckily my little midnight shopping trip paid off. This little blue bottle - Meishoku Bigansui Medicated Lotion Toner, was waving its hands at me on the shelves, I've seen it being highly recommended on @cosme before and with the big sign "highly recommended" hanging there, I bought a bottle with the hope of "fixing" my face.

Most of the wordings are in Japanese except for some simple introduction and instructions, so I did some Googling. Apparently this "ancient" formula has been around since 1885 and has been a hot seller in Japan ever since, without changing their formula at all. It's even been loved by the old royal family for its superior sebum control performance!


This toner is recommended for sensitive and oily skin and its benefits includes:

• Prevent Acne, Blemishes and Freckles due to sun burn 
• Prevent Clogging of Pores
• Control Excessive Sebum
• Contains BHA and Act as a Mild Exfoliator
• Help to Soften Dead Skin
• Effective in removing white and blackheads

The lotion comes with a see-through navy blue glass bottle with a plastic screw cap, it's pretty heavy and I won't recommend it for traveling. It's easy to dispense the toner drop by drop, without spilling, but it's the scent that gets to me a little. 

It has a pretty strong herbal scent and when you apply on the skin, there is a cooling effect, so for those who are sensitive to alcohol, please do a patch test or consult your doctors before using.

So, here's how I use it. Every morning and night after cleansing my face, I will apply my usual toner first and then dab a few drops of the Meishoku Bigansui Medicated Lotion Toner on a cotton pad. I go on a dabbing motion on the affected areas and leave the cotton pad there for a little while, letting the lotion soak in, before proceeding with my moisturizer and other skincare regimes.

Check out the effect! In just 3 days, my acne and spots have lightened and even some disappeared. It's really magic that acne can be gone that easily with just a few dabs a day. The redness has stopped and I can see the patches dry up and hopefully with more application, that acne patch will be gone in no time!

Thank you Japan for this amazing product! You can find the Meishoku Bigansui Medicated Lotion Toner in Don Don Donki now in Singapore and hope everyone can be rid of acne problems with this little miracle!

Loving Japanese Skincare With Felice Towako Cosme (Felice Towako Mist & FTC UV Perfect Premium Cream)

Hi Huneybees,

During the FIDé Fashion Weeks (Japan Couture Evening), we all brought home a generous memento courtesy of Felice Towako Cosme. They are a popular Japanese skincare and beauty brand (that will soon be made available in Singapore) and in we received their popular Felice Towako Mist and FTC UV Perfect premium cream.

There's been a major hype on Korean beauty products recently, maybe it's time to go back to the Japanese beauty/skincare products that made the Japanese girls' skin all so supple and youthful looking! 

I struggled a little getting to know about the products with what little Japanese I learnt. But all thanks to my love for Jpop and Google Translate, I managed to figure out what each products does. So hopefully, it provides a little more for the non-Japanese speaking beauty lovers.

Felice Towako Mist

Being a mist, it immediately pumps all the essence into your skin and with the use of fullerene, anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic acid, collagen and marine placenta can be absorbed by our skin much faster and more effectively.

Fullrene is a  molecule of carbon element that is bonded to a soccer ball-shape. They are capable to soak up free radicals and thus also known as “Radical Sponge”, a powerful antioxidant. 

Usage

I would pump 5-6 times around my face and quickly pat the solution into my skin. It does leave a slight sticky feeling on my skin, but when paired with my moisturiser, I can feel my skin more moisturised the next day and my makeup goes on much easier too! It works the best so far for when I have dry skin days, especially when menses is round the corner....

FTC UV Perfect Premium Cream

This is the number 1 product under Felice Towako Cosme branding. This was created with the experience of the beautiful Mrs. Kimishima Towako (Felice Towako Cosme Creative Director), with the idea of protecting the skin from UV Rays 365 days a year, protecting the ladies under the strong sun.

With SPF50 PA +++, you can rest assure that you will be protected from the harmful UV rays, while feeling moisturised.

Usage

Every morning after cleansing and toning my face, I would apply 5-6 pumps of the sunscreen. With its slight sticky feel, I like having it as my makeup base as well, so that my makeup would last longer throughout the day.
