Makeup, skincare, beauty products in Japan

Continuing from my tradition of sharing and showing new makeup, skincare and beauty products that I come across during my trip in Japan. I always find so much joy whenever I am shopping for makeup, skincare and beauty products in Japan. Even when I don't buy all the products I see, I always enjoy looking at them and discovering new products! 

I have always wanted to try KOSE ESPRIQUE products ever since I've seen Namie Amuro's commercials advertising for their makeup products. However, she's no longer the image person for the brand anymore as it has been passed on to Keiko Kitagawa. I think Keiko is very a suitable image person for the brand though and I'm loving the new commercial she has done for the makeup brand too. It definitely makes you want to buy their products especially since it looks so pretty on Keiko. She's such a natural beauty!

Speaking of Namie Amuro, I will forever miss seeing her advertisements in Japan when she retire in September this year. T__T I also really like these 1 day colour contact lenses on her. She makes them look so natural and pretty on her eyes. 

New canmake makeup products! Canmake is one of my favourite brands for makeup products, especially their eye shadow, BB cream, and concealer. Also new is a new image person advertising for the products. 

Makeup, skincare, beauty products in Japan

Another blog post on makeup, skincare and beauty products in Japan. I absolutely love love love shopping at the cosmetics section in department stores and all the drug stores in Japan. Not only do I like looking at all the amazing products that they sell there with the super pretty and cute packaging, I also LOVE looking at the ads endorsed by Japanese male/female idols. They just make you want to buy everything!!!

Kitagawa Keiko ads spotted for the brand KOSE. Have you watched any of her commercials for their products? Because you should totally check them out cuz she looks ever so beautiful in all the commercials! (｡♥‿♥｡) 

KOSE actually has a group of Japanese female actresses and models ranging from different ages who are endorsing their products. And these people include Kitagawa Keiko, Kiritani Mirei, Aragaki Yui, ROLA, Ueta Aya and more other people that I don't really know who they are, lol. 

Ishihara Satomi was the hit girl in Japan. She was literally seen EVERYWHERE on the trains, streets, drug stores to electronic department stores. Talk about being popular much. 

Japan Idols Ad Spotting

So while in Tokyo, there was a game that I liked playing which was "idols ad spotting" where I try to capture pictures of any advertisements I see with Japanese idols. I definitely saw more ads than this but sometimes it was hard for me to take a photo with the busy crowd of people in the subways and all. But I have to say the person I saw the most advertisements was Kimura Takuya. He was almost at every station and corner of Tokyo!

You see what I mean with Kimura Takuya? He's everywhere! Most of the times it's just the repeated ads but at different places in Tokyo. 

Doctor-X drama. Apparently there was a season 3 which I didn't know of. I thought it was just a drama special or a movie. 

Nino from Arashi advertising for some herb band-aid or something, not exactly sure what it is, lol.

Yuka advertising for Toshiba!

If I have not mistaken, I believe that's Aya Ueto advertising for Mitsuya cider water.

Beat Takeshi! A famous actor and comedian in Japan. He starred in the movie Battle Royale as the teacher. 

Saw this ad for the anime 地獄先生 (Hell Teacher Nube) with a drama version on the train. I remember this anime when I was a kid.

Keiko Kitagawa advertisement for citizen watch. 

SMAP food! I got to try some at the convenience store and it was pretty good!

Makeup, skincare, beauty products in Japan

Just doing a short post of some makeup, hair, skincare and beauty products that I took pictures of while shopping in Japan. I have been to several drugstores and department stores a number of times during my trip. Each time I go into them, I'm always so fascinated by all the makeup and beauty products that I see. Ah, I miss shopping at the drugstores in Japan! Even if I am not buying anything in there, I can still spend hours staring at all their products. (｡♥‿♥｡) I'll share in another post later of what I bought in Japan.

Matsumoto Jun advertising for a shampoo called Je l'aime was one of the first things I saw in Japan on my first official day out when I decided to check out the drugstore nearby my hotel. 

Namie Amuro advertising for Oleo D'or hair shampoo. I bought a small sample of this hair shampoo to try and absolutely fell in love with it. It made my hair feel so smooth and silky!!!

Sailormoon makeup!

Spotted hada labo face lotion but in Hello Kitty version, lol.

Also spotted these Snoopy products. Japan seems to be big on characters even in beauty products! XD

Spotted Yamapi's ad for hada labo moisturizer at a drugstore nearby my hotel.
