Mim, Myself & I...

I saw this brand in the newspaper today and decided to do some product research since it's well.... competition!

According to the article, this is Kose Co.'s answer to the rising enthusiasm of Asia for organic facial care.... They're an affordable line of organic facial care with 8 products ranging from PHP 395 ~ PHP 995. (US$ 8.50 ~ 21.00). They're so much cheaper than Kose's skin care lines such as Sekkisei, Junkisei, etc. Which is why I'm really surprised. I actually want to know why they made it at this price point... Could it be that they stole our idea? Wahahahaha...

They do not claim to be 100% organic... According to the Japanese lady it's about 80% organic.. (Ha!)

Anyway, I saw the pretty packaging and decided to give it a try.. ^^


I got the Pure White Day Care Essence UV SPF50+ PA++ and the Pure Essence C...I decided on these two products since I needed something that i can easily fit in my regimen... And the Vitamin C is my answer to my acne scars...

Pure White Day Care Essence UV SPF50+ PA++

I haven't tried on my face yet.. But it's so easily absorbed by the skin and it doesn't feel icky sticky. Has a very milky texture like the Biore UV Milk...

So small though... just 25ml.. however accourding to the Sales consultant you only need 2 drops of this and it will be okay for the whole face...

Pure Essence C

As for this one... i think it's a pretty good deal since it 30ml and you really only need to use a drop per application.

I tried it tonight after cleansing and toning... It was a pleasant smell... Not the organic smell that smells like butt..

It smells of a synergy of citrus essential oils and herby essential oils.. I like it.

The consistency is a bit watery but it adds to the fact that it's easily spreads on the face.



Packaging looks similar to everything else out in the market and logo is reminiscent of C.O. Bigelow...

I heard that they'll be coming out with Powder Foundations by next year. I don't know if I'm willing to try that out.



Anyway.. I heard some inside scoop...

ESPRIQUE PRECIOUS WILL BE COMING TO MANILA NEXT YEAR!

I'm so psyched...

I actually hate the fact that Fasio is now obsolete in the Philippines but I guess Esprique Precious is one thing I can look forward to. Been dying to try their pallettes since forever....
