Senka Shiseido Perfect Whip

This is a product I have seen for years in Japan, it's popular among Japanese and tourists, it's sold at all drug stores, convenient stores etc in Japan. It comes from the known brand Shiseido and it's a foam cleanser.
It's also sold all over Asia, it's sooooo popular! I tried one from Korean Tony Moly but felt I got super dry (My skin is dry type so it didn't help me), therefore I decided to test this one. It's very affordable among all of the Asian cleansers, you can buy it online if you cannot travel to Japan/Asia. You only need a little piece of the foam, rub into you hands and the magic starts, rub the foam onto your face and rinse off. I was happily surprised it was not as drying and my face feels soft and clean. I love it, the little amount is thick and it cleans the face so well. A lifesaver for people with dry skin ^^ It has a small scent to it but it's not overpowering.
I will see what I can pick up during my upcoming travels, I think this will be one of them as it's comes in a good size for travelling.

ミネラルウオータリーファンデーション N

I found out about this foundation through Kim Dao's Youtube feed before I went to Japan.
I tried it in store and it looked good on me so I thought I'd give it a try.
I really liked to apply it to my skin, it was smooth and very light but it had a great cover. So in the end I bought a stock of it.
I'm very happy I found this foundation, for the last couple of years I have only used Korean make up brands, but lately I feel too bright and white.
Although Japanese are light too, I could find some colours that are less bright. And as I needed to get myself some new products, and not being able to go to Korea, I used Google quite a lot before I went to Japan last month.
A success ^^ I ended up buying a lot of new items!

This item comes in 4 different colours, I bought the one called 20.

It's a very small bottle so it's easy to have in the handbag / travelling etc. Also, you don't need a lot to cover yourself, so it'll last for quite some time. Not the cheapest of brands but not too expensive either. I found it also at Donki, so I got one bottle a bit cheaper, you can find it at most drugstores in Japan, but not all. It cost 1500 yen plus tax. At Donki I think I paid 1300 yen plus tax.

Intergrate is a brand by Shiseido, I have never seen it outside Japan.
I'd say this is their label for the younger generation. Their slogan says
合言葉は、「いい女なろう♡」。
素肌を引き上げるベースメーク、トリックで魅せるカラーアイテム、印象を操るフレームアイテムの組み合わせで、一人ひとりの武器となるような”大人のかわいらしさ”をつくります。
In English: Slogan "Let's be a nice girl ♡".
We will make "adult loveliness" that will be a weapon for each person by a combination of a base make-up that pulls up bare skin, a color item that attracts tricks and a frame item that manipulates impressions.

資生堂｜LIFE COLOR WINDOW

Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido sure makes interesting things these days. A few weeks ago I posted these "I love you messages". Now it seems they have come up with a whole new take on stained glass by making the windows interactive.
This new innovation, they use LCD monitors to react to the clothing the person in front is wearing. The cosmetics company teamed up with designers at a company called Party to create what they have decided to call "Life Color Window".

It's located in Ginza and will be available until Christmas day.

I think I will try to visit as soon as my dad arrives to Japan.
We said we'd go to Ginza anyway so, why not kill two birds with one stone!? ^^



Closest Subway Station - Ginza, and a few min walk from Exit A2.

資生堂の告白メークコレクション

I think most of people who knows Japan and the phrase I love you have either heard "Suki", "Daisuki" or "Aishiteru". But, take a look at this, this is made for a campaign by Shiseido.
Japan contains of 47 prefectures, and each of them has its own unique way of saying "I love you". These has been divided in 5 videos according to the larger regions, starting North and working it down South.
I think it's amazing to see and hear each region's dialect, you'll see how much it differs within the same country!
In these video clips, each woman declare their love for their lovers, family, friends and even dogs!

My fave one is the Kansai area (Osaka, Hyogo, Nara..) (^^;;)

資生堂 エリクシール シュペリエル

I forgot to mention, when uncle came from Japan a few weeks ago he also brought some skin care stuff. He brought my fave brand, Shisedo.

He actually gave this to my mum but as she knows I love Shisedo she gave it to me.

The ones I got was from the 資生堂 エリクシール シュペリエル collection.

I got the Shiseido Elixir Superieur Lifting Moisture Lotion II and Shiseido Elixir Superieur Lifting Moisture Emulsion II.

It's said they are good for dry skin, so yes, it should be a perfect match ^^

I haven't tried them before, but so far... I love them!!
