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!

THE SUPERSTARS OF BALLET Makes Its Debut At Marina Bay Sands In April

Hi Huneybees,

BASE Entertainment Asia in partnership with the Voilah! Festival in Singapore is proud to present for the first time THE SUPERSTARS OF BALLET, featuring 12 internationally acclaimed principal dancers who will perform highlights from iconic modern and contemporary ballet classics such as Le Corsaire, Don Quixote and Brel just to name a few for 5 shows only at the MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands from 29 April 2016. Tickets are now on sale. 

This spectacular 2-hour show of pure breathtaking classical ballet features 12 of the top star dancers from world-renowned ballet companies including principal dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet, English National Ballet, and the American Ballet Theatre of New York just to name a few.

The star principal dancers who will bring to life these famous ballet classic stories include: Dinu Tamazlacaru, a principal dancer with the Berlin State Ballet; Yonah Acosta a principal dancer with the English National Ballet; famous Russian dancer Daniil Simkin, a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre; Maria Kochetkova, also a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre and Lauretta Summerscales at English National Ballet.

Set against stunning scenery and magnificent costumes, THE SUPERSTARS OF BALLET will thrill audiences as they perform a series of ballet classics including:

Don Quixote – which tells the story of an unlikely hero – a poor country gentleman who goes mad from reading too many novels and decides to put the world right by becoming a knight errant. However, unlike the original novel, the focus of this ballet is not on the gallant knight, but instead on the romance between two of the novel’s minor characters, Basilio and Kitri. The lovely Kitri is intent on marrying Basilio, a lowly barber, despite her father’s wishes to marry her off to the wealthy Gamache. As their romance faces trials, Don Quixote gallops alongside and provides his chivalrous assistance, all the while chasing his own illusions of love. 

Le Corsaire - Medora, a young Greek girl is sold to Pasha by a slave dealer. The pirate Conrad seizes Medora and declares his love for her. Conrad’s right-had man, who is jealous of Conrad, sends Medora back to the slave dealer who again sells her to Pasha. Conrad and his men show up to take Medora away again but he is recognised through his disguise, captured and sentenced to death. To save his life, Medora, who is in love with Conrad, plots with a slave girl, Gulnare, to escape. Medora agrees to marry Pasha but during the ceremony Gulnare takes Medora’s place, having the ring placed on her finger. That evening Medora dances for Pasha, having convinced him to lay down his weapons, and Conrad enters to take her away. Gulnare produces the ring and declares herself Pasha’s lawful wife. The ship on which  Medora and Conrad escape sinks in a terrible storm but the two lovers are saved when they are washed up on a rocky island.

Don’t miss a night out with some of the most talented stars from the world of ballet telling some of the oldest and most enchanting classic story tales through the beauty of dance.
