TATCHA Friends & Family Sale Event

Today is the official start day of TATCHA Friends & Family Sale event. I know some of you were interested in trying their products, and now is a good time to do so with 20% discount on everything, including travel sizes and gift sets. The code FF2014 is valid from 11/28 to 12/8, and includes complimentary shipping plus 3 samples of your choice with every order.

In case you need some help picking the right products to try, here are some of my favorites.

1. One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil – I rave about this thing all the time! It’s truly a wonderful product and unlike any other cleansing oil I’ve tried; in my opinion, it’s even better than popular cult classics from DHC and Shu Uemura. It’s suitable for all skin types, even oily and mature. Available in full size here and in travel size here.

2. Deep Rice Enzyme Powder – I love this powder because it exfoliates without irritating the skin, and the scrubbing intensity can be easily controlled. For deep cleansing I mix it with two pumps of Camellia Cleansing Oil, and it really makes my face look polished. TATCHA offers a variety of these powders for all skin types, you can get them in full size here, singular travel size here, and as a travel-sized gift set here.

3. Moisture Rich Silk Cream – Whenever I want my skin to look and feel well-rested, soothed, and pampered, I turn to this exquisite gel-cream moisturizer. I have a hard time finding words to describe how much I love it, but if I suddenly lost all of my skin care, Moisture Rich Silk Cream would among the first things I purchase. It works for all skin types, even oily and sensitive. You can find it in full size here and a mini version here.

4. Revitalizing Eye Cream – A good eye cream is a must for me, and I really like this one a lot. It has a thick balmy consistency that melts into the skin and absorbs without leaving a sticky layer. It always works well under my makeup, but I personally prefer it for the PM, because then I can apply a thicker layer and just let it sink in overnight 🙂 The full-sized jar is sold here, and the travel-sized one here. If you wish to try both the moisturizer mentioned above and the eye cream, you might want to check out this travel-sized gift set.

Did you notice the beautiful golden tray in the photos? Then you should also note that in addition to luxurious skin care, TATCHA offers one-of-a-kind curated gifts made by Japanese artisans. You are seeing here the Obon Tray, crafted in Kanazawa with real 22.5-karat gold using ancient technique of gold-leafing. To create these leaves, gold is pounded into a mere 10,000th of 1 millimeter [for comparison, an average human hair width is between 0.04 and 0.25 millimeters], and carefully applied to the final product to create a unique glimmering effect. You can spot these gold leaves in Aburatorigami Blotting Papers, Camellia Beauty Oil, and Camellia Nourishing Lip Balm.
