I was also told its sold exclusively there, so its a must buy when you visit Hokkaido. I didn't bought much, just one bottle to try. After trying, I really regret that I bought only one as it really keep my skin hydrated and smooth after using. =D>

My Review
This is bought during my family trip to Hokkaido Japan. I was told that most tourist will come look for this Q10 UV Water Cream when they visit Hokkaido. I was also told its sold exclusively there, so its a must buy when you visit Hokkaido. /hmm

I didn't bought much, just one bottle to try.

The packaging itself does not look really pretty. Its just a white bottle stick with stickers. 

How the bottle look like.

The uv water cream is white in color. It is not sticky when apply on. It look like cream but do not feel like those normal cream during application because of its watery texture.

How the Q10 UV Water Cream look like.

 When I apply on it, my skin feel cool as I place the uv water cream in the refrigerator. :D

They call this water cream and it really live up to it name! As I message the water cream onto my skin, the water cream turn into water drops. In this case, spa water. My skin then slowly absorb the water drops. Its watery, not creamy. /omg

As its water cream, its not oily at all. My skin feel immediate hydrate and smooth. 

Q10 UV Water Cream place onto skin.
(can already see the cream turns into spa water)

Q10 UV Water Cream slowly turns into spa water and aborbed by skin.
(Can see the water drop on skin)

Skin feel very hydrated and smooth.

I really like the feeling of applying this water cream, turning from white cream to water drops and being absorbed by the skin. This is something I rarely get from other moisturizer. 

Overall, I like the immediate hydration that it gave to my skin. I have actually used up this one bottle long ago and really regret buying only one bottle. So people, next time you visit Hokkaido Japan, please stock up more! Trust me, you won't regret buying them. /please

Where to get them?
You can only get them in Hokkaido Japan. So sorry, I kind of forgot how much it cost. But they are pack in nice pack of 1 or 3 bottles. I do remember its selling in a reasonable price, not very expensive. :)

Where to get sample?
Nope. No sample for this. :|

Apologies that this review came so late. When ChocGoji was first launch last year, their Facebook page was giving out free pack of sample. I managed to redeem one pack of
ChocGoji Dark Chocolate Covered Wolfberries. 

Overall, I like this snack very much for 2 simple reasons, healthy and tasty. If you like to eat snack, why not change to this healthy snack. :D

Nutrition Information and Ingredients

My Review
When ChocGoji was first launch last year, their Facebook page was giving out free pack of sample. I managed to redeem one pack of ChocGoji Dark Chocolate Covered Wolfberries.

I am not a total chocolate lover and not a total wolfberries lover. Much as I know wolfberries is very nutritional, I only dare to eat it when it's cook in soup or vegetables. Eat it on its own, no way for me coz to me it feels very funny. :p

So just right, when I saw ChocGoji, I can finally eat wolfberries without the funny feeling. The chocGoji taste like chocolate but as I chew, it will get sweeter and sweeter. Eventually, I taste the wolfberries. 

There is another way of eating. I will suck the chocolate then eat the wolfberries. Nothing special here. I taste the chocolate first then the wolfberries. 

How the ChocGoji look like.

How it look like inside.

I personally do not like dark chocolate. But surprisingly for me, I love this dark chocolate flavor as the wolfberries sweetness have neutralize the dark chocolate over bitter taste. This make the dark chocolate just right for me. Not too sweet and not too bitter. /please

Overall, I like this snack very much for 2 simple reasons, healthy and tasty. If you like to eat snack, why not change to this healthy snack.

Where to get them?
ChocGoji is sold in supermarket. 

Where to get sample?
The redemption of sample is long over. :(

4 Whitening Line products

This is my first time using Fancl products. So I'm pretty excited about it and I used the products diligently for 2 weeks. (As it stated 14 days to see results) :))

How the product look like after removing the box

First thing, I have to open the cap of the product bottles in order to use it. As FANCL is a Japan brand, its product boxes carries Japanese instructions. So I have a hard time figuring out how to open them. Until I finally realize that I actually forgot I have a booklet with English instructions. /blush

Lets review individual product first. Sorry that its a bit long as there are 4 products to review. :)

Overall
After applying all the products, my skin feel hydrated, smooth and radiant. And the next day when I wake up, my face is still radiant, bright and smooth. It is not dull looking any more. This make me look more awake. :D

One week from using FANCL Whitening Line, I can see my skin complexion improved. It look smoother and my pores reduced. Face look brighter and more radiant. Even after a long tiring day from work, my face still look radiant and bright. 

I especially like the Whitening Mask. The days where the mask is use, my face will turn even smoother and brighter. And one thing I like is all 4 products can be apply on my eye area, which I think is a bonus because this time round, my eye area gets to enjoy what my other skin area enjoy too. /XD

Two weeks from using, my face is still able to maintain its radiant and brightness. One thing I notice is my skin condition improve. I have less of an outbreak which result in more even looking skin.
