where is tsuya tsuya from? is it singapore? all i know is this brand isn't from japan and their BB cream is made in korea. i am interested in trying out their lip tattoo or something.. forgot the name. the color looks really soft and it's said to stay on your lip.. something like lip embroidery. well, it's not permanent of course. hehe! tsuya tsuya product is kinda expensive.

ohh korea product based in singapore? hmmm alright.. not surprising because cosmetic markets in korea is kinda saturated as well. perhaps this product will do better out of korea. kawaii tokyo for example is a japanese product based in singapore and it's not available in japan but out of japan. hehe!

went to watson pavillion just now and i wanted to buy tsuya tsuya lip embroidery at first.. but then didn't buy at the end cus i have spent RM240 for other products in watson. lol

i will give their BB cream a try but i need to get o'slee BB cream first. haha!

LOL!! those imported goods from watsons, i have seen it years ago in watsons singapore and even more in watsons taiwan. lol.. though it's nothing new to me, i am glad to see that watsons here is bringing in more and more products.

i bought 2 eye palettes from fasio, 2 eye custom from majolica majorca (buy 1 get 1 free deal only at watsons pavillion), a box of collagen drink, a trial box of DHC skincare... and a hand cream for my mom. so, yeah..

i wanted to get ichikami shampoo and treatment and liese hair bubble coloring.. but they do not have the color i wanted and will get ichikami next time round.



oooohh then tsuya tsuya sounds like a good brand? will try their products some day.

ohh u didn't see liese hair care in taiwan? i saw it though. and many more products that i saw in taiwan that we don't have it here. hehe! so, malaysia is definitely far more behind than HK, taiwan and singapore when comes to imported japanese cosmetics and skin care. hehe!

sg. wang's branch has it too... and mid valley's branch.. pavillion's too. maybe end of this month, i might wanna buy their lip embroidery.. but when i saw there is mineral oil as the ingredient, i was taken aback.

mineral oil has been known as one of the "harmful ingredients" being used mainly in cosmetics and skin care products.

it's said that long term usage can cause cancer in us.. in skin care too, it's known to be clogged pores.

oh well, this is what i read and what i know from some part of the beauty field; however, some health conscious consumer will stay away from products that contain mineral oil while many consumers couldn't be bother about it.

apart from mineral oil, ingredients such as alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, SLES, Ammonium lauryl sulfate, paraben (both methylparaben and propylparaben or whatever thing that ends with paraben) and etc.. can't remember some.. all these are known as "harmful ingredients" and it's commonly use in skin care, hair care and cosmetics.

well, i am one of the consumers that "trying" to avoid using products that contain such ingredients. haha! but sometimes when i want to try something, i tend to overlook it. wahhahah! but one of the products that i love, which is free from above mentioned ingredients are HABA. now i am using mandom barrier repair range, which is also free from mineral oil, paraben, fragrance and alcohol.. anyhow.. when i smell the product, it does smell like alcohol. lol. in the meantime, i am using DHC as well and so far, all that i know is, these products too are free from the above mentioned ingredients. i need to take a good look at it because i didn't bother to check the ingredients before buying because i wanna try out DHC. lol

ohh fragrance too is not good if it's in a product... unless the fragrance is natural oil or fruit extracted. usually when you read the label, it will say that it contains fragrance and if it's natural fragrance, it will be written in bracket that where is the fragrance extracted from but if it didn't, then those fragrances are artificial fragrance.. or chemical fragrance so as to speak.

I can't really remember but it's in the .. either RM60s or RM70s. i remember it's definitely below RM80.. should be RM76 if i am not mistaken.

major watsons do have it. i don't go to every watsons but major watsons such as MV, KLCC, sg. wang do have it.. not sure if pavillion has it.. i can't remember seeing any.. i think it does. hehe!
