Just Us - "Happy Birthday"

+Toyko (Honshu), Japan

+Travel Information

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
