Japanese Health and Beauty Products

I've tried Palty. They worked okay for me to lighten the hair a bit. However, the last time I wanted to go a couple tones lighter, and I tried their Honey Brown... It bleached the top of my hair blonde and did nothing for the rest of my hair... T_T I had to go somewhere that same day and it was important to have my hair nice. I ended up going to CVS at 2am and getting a darker hair color to cover it up! D: I think it was Clairol Colorsilk I used.

For darker and full coverage the American stuff seems to do the trick. I go for Clairol Colorsilk since it saved my life in that bad experience. I'm going to try the Korean bubble color and see what it does sometime soon. If it does a good job I'll recommend it.

I used to dye my hair black all the time (Goth kid) but around 10yrs ago I developed a bad allergy to most black hair dyes. Only found one black (permenant) dye I could use, forget the brand. in more recent years I only used Manic Panic. But more recently nothing since I work front desk at a hotel I have to look all proper and such. NO! No! Is just heavily advertised on tv but gets about the worst ratings of various reviews I've read for home hair removal. The Tria is about the only home laser system available but is lower power than professional systems so people don't burn themselves seriously if they overdo it. Other similar systems use intense light source to inhibit hair growth for longer than waxing but is not permanent. Laser (and electrolysis ) is the only permanent solution. I want facial hair removal too since I don't grow enough anyway and I don't like shaving everyday. I don't like body hair either, I feel cleaner (and sexier) without it.

I used to home dye my hair, but honestly, I think it's worth it to get it done at a good salon. The dyes they use aren't as bad for your hair and if you know a hair stylist who's actually good about healthy hair, they'll do it little by little to maintain the integrity of your hair

I've been using Asian beauty products for about 10+ years; it's mainly because I find Japanese and Korean brands sooooo much nicer than American. I've only tried a few things in all my years of using makeup (and even skincare) that I haven't liked, whereas American brands I have tried a lot of things I just haven't liked. I'm VERY fond of sheets masks and all skincare products from Innisfree and The Face Shop, and there are just so many Japanese beauty products I LOVE. I could go on for days about it all! <3

I just think Asia has a lot more different methods of skin treatments than the western world, especially Korea, actually. I am very lucky that these products are readily available and easily accessible to me. I'm going to make a confession: I prefer Korean feminine hygiene over all others, even Japanese. But, Japan tends to have super cute prints on their products, which I think is fun even if it's kind of pointless! Lol To answer the question you posted. I use Tsubaki head spa hair products, a lot of Daiso's skin and hair products (they're inexpensive and do the job), I use Gatsby on occasion to style my hair VK, I prefer Missha for BB creme my favorite is M red perfect cover cause I am pale and it has uv protection, but I also like Dr. Jart and I am using one by Clinique that my friend gave me as well. I buy my face masks at Shiseido but I also like the ones they sell at Forever 21 and Daiso even. I also love nose pore strips with charcoal, and brown rice and charcoal soap especially for my face. The west has only begun to catch onto charcoal, but I am glad they have. As for bad experiences... I bought palty honey brown hair color and for some inexplicable reason the top of my head turned very blonde. (つД`)ノ it was horrific! Where do you prefer to buy your Japanese and Korean beauty products?

I use Shiseido Tsubaki shampoo and conditioner, as well as the moisture pack treatment. I used to have somewhat dry hair- not noticeably so- and two years ago when I started using all three, my hair is just sooo much healtheir!! My favourite bb cream is Holika Holika. I like the little coverage it gives because I don't have any skin problems like acne or breakouts, so I really don't need the coverage other than for my freckles. Plus, I have super sensitive skin and it's just really great. As for skincare, I use a lot of Innisfree, The Face Shop, Skinfood, and my favourite moisturiser is Asahi Suhada Shizuku. Again, I have really sensitive skin and none of the products I have tried skincare wise have yet bothered me, whereas Dove from Target easily irritates my skin. I normally get my stuff from Amazon, as well as Imomoko. It's always quick shipping even if it is from Korea and Japan, and I've always gotten my stuff!

Amazon is pretty convenient. I am kind of spoiled to have everything within driving distance. Accept for Missha which I just buy from their site.
