brutus, usa: ''I LOVE THIS STUFF... This is pretty expensive for the amount that you get, but one packet made the whole tub of water white and smelled SO good. I took a bath using this last night and today my skin is so incredibly soft. I will definitely get again, even though its roughly $2 per bath.'' Item 3024: Nihon No Meito Nyuto Hot Springs Spa Bath Salts - Five 30g Packets, 150g total
Cal, USA: ''Shipping was great... The samples I received were really to try out the shampoo and conditioner . I have not used the samples of the other products.
Ill start out by saying the shipping was quick and packed perfectly. The shampoo I loved and will be purchasing. It cleansed my fine/ thin curly hair well but did not strip all the moisture that most shampoos do. The conditioner did not not detangle like I expected and with the sample I was able to use it about 3 times . This is the only reason why I gave the 4 stars .'' Item 4009-f: Komenuka Bijin 10-Product Trial/Sample Set from Rice Bran
K.T., South Carolina: ''Good way to test product... I came across this product after reading about how great rice bran was for the skin. I wanted to try the product line, but I thought it was a little pricey and I didn't want to buy it and have the money go to waste if I didn't like it.
I tried the facial cleanser, and it is really nice. It is not like other foaming cleansers out there. Its more creamy and when you rinse and pat dry, your face is really moisturized afterwards. I then tried the facial lotion and that lotion is perfect for my skin. I have oily skin and the lotion minimized the pores and made it really soft. After the moisturizer sank into my skin and was absorbed, I noticed that my skin looked brighter and more radiant. It also makes my makeup go on really smooth.
The eye jell is excellent also. It really moisturizes your delicate eye area without being too greasy.
I also like the skin care cream. Its really thick and creamy but not oily. It sinks into your skin and makes it soft and supple.
The shampoo really clarifies and the conditioner makes your locks really soft.
The set also comes with an instruction pamplet and a little gift. (A bag of green tea). All in all, a great product.
Overall I think this sample set is a good way to test the products to see which ones you like.'' Item 4009-f: Komenuka Bijin 10-Product Trial/Sample Set from Rice Bran
Dehlia, Denver, CO: ''Best bath salts I've had... I've been using this for almost 2 years now and I love love love them! They smell wonderful, leave your skin silky smooth, and stimulate warmth in your body.
I am a huge fan of baths. A lot of people in the western world stop taking baths by about puberty, as it is seen as an activity reserved for children and not as effective in cleaning or as quick as a shower. However, bathing culture is completely different in East Asia, where individuals continue to use bathtubs as part of their daily routine well into adulthood. It is seen as a place of relaxation and rest, more than an act of cleaning. One of the best places for this activity in Japan is a natural hot spring (Onsen). However, naturally occurring hot springs aren?t exactly something every person can access, so how do we get the benefits of a hot spring in our own homes?
Enter the Tabi no Yoda hot spring bath salts, made and sold right out of Japan with minerals directly from the source. They come in either a clear or ?milky? variety, and this package has the clear bath salts.
Out of the myriad of bath powders, salts, and gels I have used, these are by far my favorite. Each little packet represents a famous Japanese Onsen and the minerals in that particular hot spring. They?re identifiable by their soft, pleasant scents and milky colors.
Bathing in these bath salts is as if you?ve been transported right into the hot spring, and you feel yourself sinking into the bliss as soon as you enter the bath. Not only is it a comforting experience, it is also a beneficial one. The minerals are said to relax the muscles and stimulate nerves, warming up the body and keeping it warm. For this reason, I really enjoy using these in the winter time when my body needs to retain as much heat as it can. After the bath, you will immediately notice how the scent lingers on your skin for the rest of the day, and makes it silky smooth, as well.
I give these a 10 out of 10. They are heavenly to use, and I?ll purchase them for as long as I can.'' Item 3069: Tabino Yado Hot Springs Clear Bath Salts Assortment Pack from Kracie (15 25g Packets, 375g total)
L. Rivera, New York, NY: ''Great Product... My hair is shinny, soft, and silky thanks to this remarkable conditioner. I received this hair product as a gift from a coworker who is Japanese. She highly recommended it. I love it and now I am buying it for my friends. My hair was very dry and it looked damaged from using different chemical products and hot metallic straighteners. I think every girl needs the Shiseido hair mask in her bathroom. I use it once a week and it makes a big difference.'' Item 4166: Shiseido Tsubaki Shining Hair Mask with Tsubaki Oil EX - 180 gram jar
