Tamagohada AHA+BHA Facial Cleanser Review

OMG! Realized I haven't been blogging for a while... I've been reminding myself to write this review post for weeeeks!! Initially, I've planned to post this review it at the end of last month, which is exactly 4 weeks after I tried and tested this new HadaLabo cleanser but I've kinda busy having my hands on other stuff (,≥A≤,)


Anyway, here's HadaLabo's AHA/BHA range cleanser which I'll be reviewing today:

About 2 months or so ago, a friend and blogger, Sarah suggested I write a review on HadaLabo's Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion which basically acts as a moisturizing toner.

I contemplated for a while, debating with my inner self whether or not to get the lotion. Then I remembered I still have 3 other toners and 1 moisturizer not to mention having thrown a couple more away then when I was spring cleaning last month ||(,=A=,'')||

I didn't get the lotion. Still I'll be KIV-ing it and for now, decided to give the cleanser a go first. I couldn't resist the eggggquisite promise for smoother looking skin! So I got this cleanser from Watsons' for 15% off it's usual price at RM31.90.


This TamagoHada range, directly translates to "egg skin", comes in two different choices_cream or foam.

I opted for the one in tube since it'll be a better choice of traveling companion.



Even the creamy texture looks egg-yliscious~!



What I really LOVE about this cleanser? My pores look smaller in EVERY wash!! No kidding. It exfoliates thoroughly but isnt't too harsh for the skin. After 4 weeks, the difference is much noticeable. My scars appear more even and even the pores are tightening up~! What is this sorcery?!(OoO/)


On the other hand, I find it can be really drying to the skin which probably contributed to the breakouts I've been getting every now and then.


My rating:



3.5/5


I actually would prefer to stick with the Ace Neogence range of skincare but I really hope to see a smoother result by the end of this month so I got myself a second tube though I'll be using this alternatively with ACE Neogence cleanser to prevent my skin from drying too much♡ Oooh, and I'm making a mental note to get my hands on the HadaLabo Moisturizing toner after I finish the Nano White toner~

Happy Mid Autumn!!

The mid autumn festival is here and there're lantern festivals everywhere!! Gahhh! I want to play with 'tanglung' too but nobody to accompany:(  I saw a couple of cute Rilakkuma-designed paper lanterns on sale in Tesco. So tempted to get them!

This year I got the chance to try so many different mooncakes. After my last mooncake 'adventure'(see my previous mooncakes post), mom bought some more. This time, they're the mini mooncakes in red bean and my favorite durian flavor. They're about 1/4 of the large mooncakes and are very much cheaper, only RM1 per mooncake! But that's cuz they don't have any yolk in the middle lah~

Then dad got some more from his friend as a gift early this week, so err... more mooncakes?

 

Da box~ Simple oni~~

They've even made it such that it has a center of a different color to replace the salted yolk. Awesomeness~!

This one got a pretty color combination though I didn't quite get what flavor is this...

Spent the weekend celebrating mah belated birthday with parents and sis. Just a small family affair ♥ Here's mah cake. Nothing too fancy but nice enuf. At least I got my cakeyy (^v^/)

 
hepi birthday to me. and to the other older half.

Dad and sis were singing an unsynchronous Happy Birthday song and I shamelessly sing along, replacing the 'you' with a 'me'. Or rather a super loud, endless 'MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~'. Soprano fail.

 
hepi birthdayy to us~~

Too bad the older twin wasn't home to celebrate so I posted up the pic on his fb page with a note "make a wish". LOLOL. He wants to celebrate our 23rd birthday next year with "candles on an okonomiyaki". Wutdafuq.
