Things to buy:
~ Cure
Natural Aqua Gel (¥2500)
This stuff is awesome, and it’s
super popular in Japan. it’s a very gentle exfoliator that is (according to the
bottle) 90% water.
~ Shihara
Awa Foaming (¥200)
It's a net bag with little balls
inside — you pour your facial cleanser on and it lathers up into nice fuwafuwa
(fluffy) foam.
~ SuhadaShizuku Pack
Gel
Highly rated on @cosme, this is a “pack gel” which is
really just a mask. It is very moisturizing, and forms little droplets of water
on your skin as you apply it to your face. It’s supposed to have the effect of
toner and serum and cream all in one.
~ OshimaTsubaki
Oil (¥900)
OshimaTsubaki Oil is probably the most famous — its bright
yellow package and retro bottle are quite distinctive.
~ Canmake
Colorful Nails (¥300)
but
they’re pretty decent, especially for the price. The colours are surprisingly
opaque with one coat. I do use SecheVite as a topcoat
