Small Weekend Haul at Mitsuwa Market

Posted on September 7, 2010 By Fruity Lashes Hauls and Lemming

Having a long weekend is bad because I always tend to buy extra stuff by doing some shopping. Coming back from a long weekend is even worse, that means no more shopping.

There will be several haul posts coming up this week. Today I’m just going to show you what I got from my local Mitsuwa Market last Friday. Of course we bought some grocery but I’m only going to show you the stuff I picked up. Here we go.

Needless to say, this is the Shiseido Tsubaki Head Spa Massage Spa Mask. I’ve been wanting this since I first bought the extra cleansing from the same line. This stuff is a lot more expensive compared to the rest Head Spa products. I only used it twice so it’s still too early to give a full review. But it did smell wonderful after all.

One thing I really like this hair mask is that it can be directly worked on the scalp. Normally I only apply conditioner and hair treatment on the tips of my hair because they’re too rich (oily) for the scalp. But for this one I don’t need to worry about it.

Palty for $3.99 (or $4.99?) couldn’t resist even though I already have a Prettia sitting on my vanity. It runs around 10 bucks normally so she’s going home with me. There’re only 1 box left when I picked it up. I wonder why, maybe the color is not popular.

The color I got is “Vanilla Beige”. It’ll end up different shade depending on your original hair color. I really want something light (bottom 2 shades) so I’m going to use my Prettia first then this. So my hair will go from dark brown to light brown and finally blonde.

The manga style instruction is really cute. “OK!”

I start to like bar soap since I bought a piece of Huge Naturals at Whole Foods Market. Mitsuwa is having the Cow Soaps on sale so we decide to give it a try. They also have the green tea one but both my husband and  I think the charcoal is better. This stuff ain’t cheap.

Charcoal is known for effectively cleansing and unclogging pores, drawing impurities from skin. So it’s more like a detoxifying cleanser.

It comes with an instruction and a foaming net. Believe me the little net really makes a huge difference when working with any types of cleanser. Whoever thought of that idea must be a genius. If you haven’t got a foaming net for yourself, you should run to the store and get one right now.

The last thing I bought is this, a bag of collagen candy. One of the tricks of having younger looking skin for Japanese women is collagen. There’re not only collagen powder, supplements available, collagen drinks and candies are also everywhere in Japanese drug stores and convenience stores. Here in my local Mitsuwa market, it’s the first collagen candy I’ve seen. It’s called Kabaya collagen 10000 gummy soft candy.

There’re 3 flavors, Lychee, Lemon and Grape. They’re all really tasty. None of them have a weird taste.

They’re also high in collagen. 10000 mg is about twice the amount of Meiji’s collagen drink. I’m just wondering how many pieces will give the 10000 collagen, one candy or a bag.

Stay tuned, there will be more haul posts coming.
