Muddy White Bath Salt Yakusen


Can you tell I love this kind of bath salt? Well, anyhoo this one turns the water a milky white and smells citrusy. I like this scent, but my favorite would be the floral ones. It has similar properties to the other bath salts and while I should just post all the japanese bath salts into one, I just don't like a long post.

Bathroman Jasmine Bath Salt



This one has a wonderful jasmine scent that isn't fake or artificial. It's by no means like the actual flower itself, but there's no harshness or strong headiness to its fragrance. It will turn the bath water a highlighter yellow green. It's strange that it makes the water glow-like. It is an okay bath salt, but doesn't compare to the other milkier varieties on the market. It's alright to try this out if you don't want to bust your wallet since usually this kind is cheaper. Anyway that's it for this! Toodles!

Japanese Hinoki Cypress Bath Salt



Another wonderful bath salt. It turns the bath water a milky tan. A thing about milky colored bath water is that you know the soak will be a moisturizing one. The fragrance of this smells like an ancient forest. It makes taking a soak a spiritual experience while de-stressing the grimy world. By far this bath salt is cheapest of all the ones I purchase. I won't post prices as they can vary but it should be over 20 dollars. A can will last you a long time so there's no need to be spending crazily for only a little bit.

Muddy Green Bath Salt Yakusen


This like the blue one made by the same company works in the same manner except the fragrance is a fruity green scent. The water will turn a milky green and works similarly on the body and feet as the blue one. Personally, this one's scent is overpowering for me and gives me a slight headache. I sometimes mix my bath salts to tone down the scent of one or I just don't use as much. Japanese bath salts are not usually overpowering, but it will leave your whole house with a lovely fragrance for hours after the bath. As for what it does to the tub, it doesn't do anything to the tub as far as staining or rings. You still would rinse it out, but it doesn't do anything to white porcelain or acrylic tubs.

Muddy Blue Bath Salt Yakusen


Another bath salt I had to try. This one has hot spring minerals included in it. The water is milky blue and there is a wonderful jasmine fragrance to this. It is not overpowering, but enough to relax you. This bath salt as all japanese bath salts leaves the skin feeling soft and the de-stresses the body. I suggest this for anyone who has had a long day. You can even use this bath salt for a foot soak to take away foot pain and though I know you should use warm to hot water, I use really cold water and the bath salt dissolved just fine. This makes a cooling treat for those hot summer days. Hey we don't stop working even during the hot months so you can still use these without overheating yourself in the tub.

Bathroman Bihada Pink


Ah, the wonders of the japanese bath salts. I love this brand and all the different smells. This bath salt smells feminine and rosy. It left my skin glowy and soft. The color of this bath water will be a milky pink. Give it a try if you want to treat yourself to a luxurious time. This whole can is actually a lot of bath salt for a affordable price.

Tsubaki Shampoo & Conditioner Red Line


Tsubaki Red Line- Flowery fragrance blends of Camellia, Asian Pear, Asian Plum, White Grape, Pomegranate, Golden Peach, and Ginger.

When I first used it, it didn't work well with my southeast asian hair type. I have straight and pass shoulder length hair. while this line smelled wonderful, it made my hair really greasy. I stopped using it, but then gave it another try. So now I've been using it for a couple of months. My hair liked it the second time around. It made my hair soft and silky even in the shower. I found that the smell can last even a couple of days later. I usually wash my hair every other day sometimes I will go a week washing my hair everyday depending on time of year and my hair has been fabulous. I have used this shampoo and conditioner during the summer without problems. Recently, my hair has begun to look limp and greasy again. I think this shampoo can over moisture your hair so every so often I switch to a drug store brand like suave to clean my hair and then back to tsubaki. It has worked out fine. I suggest switching shampoos if your hair gets used to tsubaki. My hair has never been dyed or chemically treated in any way. I don't use extra hair products or use blow dryers. So I'm guessing my hair is pretty much untouched and this line has worked fine for it.
