I sterilized an empty foaming hand wash bottle for this formula. The foam is not as dense as I normally like, probably caused by the reduction of cocamide betaine (a foaming agent). However, It does a good job cleansing my skin and the citric scent is very refreshing and uplifting. It's wonderful for summer time especially for combination and oily skin.
Grapefruit juice could be irritating and I don't recommend it for sensitive skin.
Ingredients: Distilled Water, Grapefruit Juice, Cocamide Betaine, Glycerin, Preservative
Ingredients:
1. Dried Licorice ...... 15g (got it from a Chinese herbal store)
2. Vodka ........ 100ml
Directions:
1. Wet a paper towel with distilled water to wipe the dried licorice.
2. Put the ingredients into a glass jar and close the lid tightly.
3. Place it in a dark place and allow the herbs to soak for 4-6 weeks.

Oh well~ you got me, it's a dupe. Don't you think it looks exactly like Integrate e/s palette in RD751(耀眼深邃眼影盒)? I was actually looking for the Integrate one when I was in HK last year, couldn't find it anywhere. Just when I was about to give up, I saw this dupe at Jusco $10 store. Yes, it's HK$10 only (around CDN$1.5)! An amazing deal for a good quality palette~
Name : Layered Eyeshadow
Palette code : C
Brand : Daiso (大創)
Net Weight : 7g
COO : Made in China
Color : White / Soft Pink / Rose Pink / Dark Burgundy (all w. shimmers)
Comes with an instruction for a gradation look.
Packaging : ♥♥♥ (3/5)
Plastic case w. a double-sided sponge applicator and a small mirror inside.
Pigmentation : ♥♥♥ (3/5)
All 4 colours go on a bit sheer but can be layered to build up pigmentation. I actually like it sheer since pink could be hard to handle.
Finish : ♥♥♥♥ (4/5)
Shimmery. Very fine shimmers, not chunky at all.
Texture : ♥♥♥♥ (4/5)
It's smooth, easy to glide on skin and blend well.
Value for money : ♥♥♥♥♥ (5/5)
HK$10 for a palette with great colors, can't really ask for more.
Overall Rating: 3.8/5
