Fueki Lip Creams in Original & Moisture Type & UV Care

I like the skincare range from Fueki since they are very cute things and good quality, too.
The newest addition to the range are 3 lipbalms and of course I picked up all 3 pieces =P It also helped that each Lip Cream comes with a cute little pouch to attach the balm to your bag, keys or wherever you want.
 
I got these balms from eBay (Alphabeautyuk) and according to the seller the balms are made of at least 94% natural ingredients like jojoba oil, olive oil, shea butter etc. These are free of fragrance, colorings and preservatives.


The Original, Moisture Type and UV Care balms have a distinctive smell, very much like honey/beeswax to me. So even if there is no fragrance added the formula itself has its scent. It´s not a bothersome scent but I personally am getting a little tired of it now.


What I really like about these balms is the super creamy and nourishing formula all 3 share alike. These are really moisturizing and keep my lips very soft and smooth in the chilly winter weather. Actually these are some of the best lip care items I have purchased recently.
 
The lipbalms give a satin finish and make a good lipstick base. 
I don´t notice much difference among the formulas to be honest, maybe only that the Moisture Type is a bit slicker.

Each tube contains 5g which is quite generous for a lipbalm.
All Lip Creams come in a yellow/red swivel-up tube but the color of Fueki´s logo, clothes and little lipbalm pouch are different.

Original - pink, Moisture Type - red, UV Care - blue.

Regarding the UV Care I cannot tell you how much sun protection it offers as there seems to be no SPF or PA stated, sorry!

I find the pouch to be extremely convenient, I attached it to one of the straps of my current purse so I have the lipbalm in close reach all the time.

Fueki Nakayoshi UV Cream SPF25 PA++ (waterproof)

I´ve been test-driving this cute little guy for the past weeks and thought it´s time to share my views on it =)
As I said I hauled more stuff from Fueki with my last Sasa order. I think the Nakayoshi UV Cream SPF25 PA++ is one of the most popular Fueki products.


I was quite astonished by how small the cute little head-shaped jar looks. It contains 50ml and is seriously tiny. But now after using the cream for over 2 weeks I notice that a little goes a long way for sure.
This UV Cream has a really weird texture I never encountered in a beauty product so far. It´s a sticky texture reminiscent of a thick pudding or like a thick glue perhaps?


Still when applying it it doesn´t feel sticky but rather lightweight and comfortable. This only applies to using it on a cleaned moisturized face though! When I use this on dry skin it can indeed feel sticky and a little hard to spread so to me this is not really suitable as a body sunscreen (given the tiny size this is not really an interesting option anyway).


I like that this doesn´t have any smell at all, especially not the typical smell found in unscented sun protection products. It rather has a slightly sweetish smell but it is not fragranced.

This is very mild (it´s formulated for the whole family, children and adults) and gives me no irritations or allergic reactions at all and seems to protect well as I didn´t get any redness when wearing this outside for several hours.
This product is also water-proof so you will need to remove it with makeup remover and face cleanser.


Overall I like this Nakayoshi UV Cream SPF25 PA++ very much and been using it daily and intend to continue with it. It cost me around US$6 which isn´t much for a nice sun lotion.

This product also comes with a sheet with 2 sun glasses stickers so you can exchange the green one for a red heart-shaped or a dark one.. so cute!

Fueki Honey Lemon Mask

I am now in Egypt =D The trip was quite good though a bit exhausting, especially for my kids.
My husband threatened me with nearly daily family/friend meet-ups but ok, the 5 weeks will pass lol =D Yes, I am not that fond to travel in general as I am a very home-attached person (well, I´d go to Japan or other places in Asia without any feeling of home-sickness, I am sure!)


Anyway, just 10 days before I left my mum asked me to get her some things from Sasa for a friend (whom I got hooked on Hisamitsu Lifecella masks) so I took the opportunity and got some more goodies for me incl. all items they had from the Fueki range (there are only 3 different product anyway lol).

I spotted the Honey Lemon Mask for the longest time but found it quite expensive as you get only 1 sheet for nearly US$7! That is quite out of my personal price-range for sheet masks usually as after all they are thrown away after 1 use!


Anyway, I got couple of them because I was just seriously curious. I should have ordered 3 pieces as I found out after placing my order that each mask comes actually in a small jar! I have 3 kids thus I should have gotten 3 pieces as they are aleady struggling over them! *sigh*

The Honey Lemon Mask comes as mentioned above in the cutest little jar featuring a head of some animal (a dog or so?). It wears a brown cap which is the cover.
The mask itself is heavily saturated with essence (30ml!) and has a light beige color.
Since this mask is so wet it tears apart easily so one must be careful when unfolding it. I tore the part under the nose when I used my first mask right when I tried to unfold it!
The cloth is really soft and with a good cut but the liquid is very sticky so you have to wash your face after using this. The mask isn´t really scented but I got a whiff of something sweet when wearing it.


I used my 2 masks and really love them as they make my face very soft and smooth and give it a bright look. Nothing my beloved Sexy Look mask can´t do as well so this Fueki mask isn´t cheap really but the jar is so cute (and kind of waseteful actually) and it´s a really nice mask so worth to indulge from time to time.


Overall recommended but surely a splurge and not a steal!

Poroporo Fueki Cleansing Cream

Did anyone else spot those cute little Fueki products on Sasa or elsewhere? I wish i had ordered a few goodies with my last Sasa order but somehow forgot it *sigh*.

Anyway, eBay is usually the solution to anything so I got hold of the super cute Cleansing Cream there.


All Fueki items come in cute pots looking like a (dog?) face with a cap in various colors. The Cleansing Cream happens to be white and pink which is definitely my favorite color combo =D


The Fueki range is supposed to be formulated to be used by the whole family incl. children but somehow the Cleansing Cream itself is a rather "grown-up" item for me.
The 130g jar (did I mention that it´s super cute? hehe) comes with a yellow spatula to scoop out the Cleansing Cream. This is not a cream actually but a regular foaming face wash. It looks somehow like molten silk with a whipped texture but foams up to a super rich lather with just a few drops of water.
I only take very little to cleanse my face so this product will last an eternity even with 2x daily use.


When I said this item is more to be used by adults than kids i meant that it´s actually a bit too harsh for sensitive children skin. I find the Fueki Cleansing Cream to be on the drying and oil-stripping side...my skin can tolerate it but it feels uncomfortable if I don´t follow up with moisturizer right after washing it. Probably oily skin-types might enjoy this stuff more though.


This is not fragranced and retails for around 700 Yen.
Overall this is super cute and I like using it but it´s a bit on the harsh side so I will definitely have to stop using this in the winter when my skin is drier than now.
