just can’t wait to show off the new soaps… 2 are for the seasonal special - asian pear & persimmons and 2 are restock - forest & gingerlily…I really love the 2 new scents… they are my favorite fruits of the season…both a bit on the sweet side (which tends to be my liking)… they will be up for pre-selling next week and ready to ship in a few days after.

there was a little side story about this new batch of gingerlily ricesoap, which I’m as happy as you are to see the petals here… because there would be almost no petals for the soap at all this year… WELL, someone at my house decided to trim off my wildly grown gingerlily… JUST AS THE BUDS ARE COMING OUT… I was heart broken to found out 2 days later my special exotic gingerlily (with the buds) were GONE!  I was devastated!… however by migracles, yesterday I found a bloom in my other grouping of gingerlilies and even a couple more buds are shooting out… I was dancing for joy!… And it looks like I will have to make more with the petals on now.  =)

as you may recalled, last week, we ran a quick naming contest for our new face care system… we had received many wonderful & fun entries which made it really hard for me and my 2 other judges to decided…. after many discussions and many thoughts, one day we seemed to all came back with our minds set on the same most simpliest name that says it all - mi3 = the 3 miRACLES, 3 easy steps, 3 simple pure & natural products - that’s all you need to claim for  beautiful skin.  And for introductory only, the set is now available for $42 (20% off regular)

Special thanks to Tinna & Kathy for the brilliant name they entered.  Both will receive a complete set of mi3 + a $25 GC.

we just add 3 new scents to the perfume collections…

Asian Pear
Lemon Sugar
Persimmon
all a bit on the sweeter side… they are irresistably yum-mi-licious ^_^

also, as we tested on a new mold for the shampoo-mi bars, we ended up with a bunch of smaller odd size cut, each approx 1oz.  They are now listed at the shop and they are just as good to sample or to travel with. 

today is the last day to enter our naming contest…  Leave us a comment by end of day to win our new face system + $25 GC.

I know many of you have been a long loyal fan to our beauty-mi-Face Soap for its power to cleanse & brighten your skin… and I’ve always been asked about “what’s the best moisturizer to go with it?”… well, I’m now pleased to announced my newly developed easy 3 steps “cleanse-balance-moisturize” system for a complete face care and it’s almost ready for to unveil at the shop… the only reason we don’t have it up for sale yet is because the system is still missng a perfect name…

here’s their detail product descriptions to help you brainstorm:
beauty-mi Face soap — A miraculous cleanser-exfoliate all-in-one soap best known for its skin brightening and softening super-powers. Tradition has it that Asian women rub rice bran powder on their face to keep their skin smooth and youthful. Rice bran powder is said to prevent wrinkles, quickly heal blemishes, absorb the dirt and oil from the pores, balance the natural oils in the skin, and moisturize. We add in Adzuki Bean Powder, C-Milk (Vegan, Coconut Milk) and African Shea Butter to perfect this formula. Scented lightly in Peachy Yuzu fragrance oil.

balancing botanical mist — Toning is an often forgotten, but a very important step in any complete cleansing routine. A good toner can soften pores and prepare skin for moisturizing. Our Balancing Mist uses only pure, organically grown, floral extracts to create a mildly astringent, cooling toner that soothes, rejuvenates, and balances all skin types. Gently spray on clean face with this natural bontanical fine mist to retain healthy glowing skin. Our Balancing Mist is also a wonderful light moisturizer throughout the day whenever your skin needs a hydrating boost. Our 2 oz bottle is just the perfect size for convenient and travel anywhere.

beauty-mi Moisturizing oil — This artful blend of rice bran, Camelina, and Olive Squalane oils, works against the ravages of time and environmental toxins to improve your skin’s hydration and elasticity. Rice bran oil has components believed to hinder ultraviolet rays as they meet the skin’s surface, contains the highest amount of all natural Vitamin E, and is one of the gentlest oils. Camelina Oil, also know as the gold-of-pleasure, contains a high percentage of essential fatty acids to help repair damaged skin cells and improve skin elasticity. We proudly use Fitoderm® Olive Squalane Oil, a pure, botanically derived squalane produced by the total hydration of the squalane source in olive oil, known for boosting skin’s ability to naturally defend, regenerate, hydrate, and oxygenate. Apply 1-2 drops to the entire face and neck while skin is still moist from toning with Botanical Balancing Mist. The proportion of mist to oil can be adjusted to suit your skin type.
