Kanebo Sala Milky Gel UV SPF29 PA++

I mentioned before that I ordered quite a bunch of different sun lotions back in spring and slowly getting around to trying some of them.

The prettiest one I received is definitely the one from Kanebo Sala which comes in a really sweet white and pink bottle. 

The 80g bottle of this SPF29 PA++ sun protection gel will set you back around 1000 Yen in Japan or a few bucks more when buying from eBay.

The Milky Gel UV has been recently adde to the Sala lineup if I am informed correctly and is a sun protection product for the face and also serves as a makeup base.

Like all products from Sala this is fragranced with a nice fresh citrus-floral scent. It´s light and doesn´t linger and doesn´t seem to cause any irritations to my skin.

This product has a light gel texture with a high content of water as it seems. It´s not really sticky and leaves my skin very soft and smooth. 

This has a soft pearl finish, in bright light one can also detect a few glitters but I´d not call it a disco-ball effect hehe =D

This makes a great makeup base as it lets my foundation glide on nicely but it´s also pretty on its own as it gives this soft pearl sheen to my skin.

I am sorry but I don´t know which ingredients are used for the sun protection but overall I quite like this products!

  
PS Blogger´s new editor sucks! All pics are set on center but they show at the left side =/ I hope it´s just a bug and will be fixe soon!

Kanebo Sala Perfect Dual Hair Treatment (for stiff hair)

I quite like the haircare from Sala...the products smell nice and are effective (I use that yellow shampoo/conditioner/treatment line and it gives really shiny smooth hair).
Recently I found this cool new Perfect Dual Hair Treatment on eBay and just had to get one as it contains 2 different treatments in 1 tube which you should mix together for the best result!


The idea behind this product was packing a treatment for repairing the internal hair structure as well as one for the outer surface of your hair into 1 product. It contains proteins, natural lipids, royal jelly and honey and special components to care for the hair cuticles (as I read in the auction description provided by Alphabeautyuk on eBay).


After trying the Perfect Dual Hair Treatment a few times I can admit that I quite like it. It makes my hair indeed very soft and smooth with a healthy shine. The treatment isn´t as rich as I´d like though and I find it quite pricey (I paid about US$20, right now someone on eBay is selling it for US$35!) so I´d say getting e.g. the Hair Esthe S-Care Treatment from Cosmetex Roland is far better value for money.


This carries the typical pleasant Sala scent (a fruity-citrus kind of blend) andcontains 170g. Shampoo your hair, apply the Sala Perfect Dual Hair Treatment, leave it on for 3-5 minutes, rinse off and follow with conditioner or leave as is.
Retails for 1450 Yen in Japan (about US$16-17).


All in all this is good stuff but just not as amazing as I hoped it to be!
The one I got is specifically for stiff hair...well I don´t consider my hair stiff so I will try this on my daughter´s hair as I´d consider her hair stiff. =) Maybe results on her will be more noticable than on my hair!
