Review: Aquamoist Moisture Washing Foam

Aquamoist Moisture Washing Foam



I have never tried a Japanese product and I heard very good things about the AQUAMOIST as a whole. I bought this in the airport on my way back to the United Kingdom because I did not have a cleanser and so I thought I better try this out. They have a moisturising series, collagen series and whitening series.

This is in the moisturising series:

On the website, it claims that the moisturising series guarantees superb moisture. It covers the skin, just as the natural barrier sebum does, to maintain the skins moisture and keeps the skin soft and elastic.

Check out their other products!




How to use: Squeeze some onto palm, lather with water and massage over your face, then rinse with water. For better moisturising result, use with other products of AQUAMOIST.

Cost: This cost around 40 HK dollars which is around £3.07 which is a reasonable pricing for this Japanese product, It may cost a lot more if you're buying it in another country such as United Kingdom because of shipping.





My thoughts: I have been using this product from a year and have nearly finished. I have to say, this is a great product!, over time I have noticed my skin has not been peeling as much from dry skin. After using this every time, you can feel the squeeky cleansiness of your face. Some people may not like the squeeky clean feeling on the face and I am one of them! But it does the job. It washes my eye makeup off and foundation a well as not drying out my skin. There is no distinctive smell which I like because that way I know it could be less likely to cause irritation to my skin.

Pros:
  • Leaves your face squeeky clean
  • No perfume scent, good for sensitive skin
  • Keeps your skin moisturised
Cons:
  • I cannot find this product anywhere in the United Kingdom and it is hard to buy online
Purchase?: I would repurchase this product again, it's so great!

Healthy American Pancakes (makes 6) 


This was obtained from the BBC GoodFood website and it has been edited to suit one's preference.

  • 1tsp sugar 
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 1tsp butter

Method

1.Pour all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt) into a large bowl and mix.
2. In a jug, measure the milk. Add the egg into the milk and whisk the egg using a fork.
3. Melt the butter in the microwave using a microwave-proof container and let the butter cool.
4. Once the butter has cooled, add it to the egg-milk mixture in the jug and stir
5. A little at a time, pour the egg-milk-butter mixture into the large bowl and stir using a whisk or wooden spoon (it may seem thick but this is how it is supposed to be).
7. Using a kitchen towel, spread the butter and oil across the pan and wait for the pan to heat up (medium heat)
8. Use a ladle to spoon your mixture (halfway in your ladle) and gently pour into the centre of the pan (unless you have a big pan you can cook 2 pancakes in one go).
9. Once you start seeing bubbles, flip to the other side and cook.
10. Repeat above steps for the rest of the pancakes.

Asia Adventures: Day Thirteen - Mango Chacha!

Food heaven!

Hong Kong is a place to eat one of the best foods of all types of cuisine.
We got our friend to book a three Michelin star restaurant called Bo Innovation that specialises in French cuisine.
The place was on the second floor in a tower in Wan Chai, it was quite a trek from where we live in Hong Kong but there is where most of the Michelin star restaurants are.
 











There was some kind of soup dumpling thing that was around 90 hk dollars which was a total rip off and all it was one dumpling with a bit of soup in it.  That was not worth it at all!!
To be honest, the restaurant did look a bit like Pizza Express and not like a three Michelin star restaurant. 
But the food was amazing though!!

We went back to Via Tokyo because we couldn't resist!, this one was in Causeway Bay. 



We were in the Causeway Bay Area and so we thought we would shop around Hysan Place before going to eat again but this time in Tsim Sha Tsui at Wired Cafe.
This restaurant served fusions of Korean and Japanese Food and also had other cuisines. It was so bazaar!
Here are some pictures:










Our day was not over yet!, there is always room for dessert and nearby there was a Mango dessert place that is pretty famous in Hong Kong called Mango Cha Cha.
