Firstly, Sigma brush that must be very famous was in my wishlist. But, because of lower price, I finally selected Sedoalace. Pink is pretty, and the same pink brush roll is much better than expected. <br />
Even when I pay 26.24 dollors for shipping, this is very good deal, I think. I am going to use all brushes and if the quality is satisfying (I feel it will be), I will recommend it in my JPN blog.Norikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513663641758080044noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551932049654353262.post-91082959503678077632010-12-18T01:56:00.001+09:002010-12-19T22:02:21.335+09:00Stick Soap - shopping in JapanI found a very unique stuff.

The card-board roll box looks pretty. I LOVE '' Soaps''. But, inconvenient to carry with me in travelling. But, this is PERFECT for travel use. don't you think ??? <br />
<br />
I can't wait using this :-D<br />

In Japan, we have no Christman holidays but of course, celebrate the Christmas. <br />
This is wired thing for Japanese, but we enjoy Christmas parites in Christmas period, and go to the temple on the end of December. And, in Jan, we go to Shrine for new year wish. haha... we're so flexible and good at getting the good points of other cultures...don't you think ?<br />
<br />
I also like getting the stuffs from other countries. The recent strong yen is tempting me to import. <br />
<br />

Japanese blog either though...<br />
Early in November, I made the weekend trip with the gals !!!! Sounds fun, right ? <br />
The location we visited are Ise and Toba cities. Ise is very famous city with a big shrine that is No.1 Shrine in Japan. Toba is the neighboring city to Ise. It is very nice place along the coast. Famous for ''Pearl farming''. The company '' Mikimoto'' is born in this place, also farmous for seafood catching by Ama Divers. <br />
There are many Japanese Ryokan hotel (big and small). I have been there many times but really nice places. I highly recommend them. <br />
Around 2 hours by train from Osaka and Nagoya. <br />
<br />
1) Lunch at Ama Diver's house. The aged women on the pics are actual Ama Divers and it is incrediable that they are still diving to catch ablone or clams etc. The oldest is near 80 years old. They are very fine and welcome to many visitors there and serve the Seafood BBQ. They appeared on the overseas TV shows and many foreign visitors come ! <br />

The bottle is unique shape and really good on me. It is NOT spray type. I am not good at SPRAY Type and the fragrance shower makes my nose itchy and causes sneezing. So, I like something good smell but the strong perfume is not so my favorite.<br />
But but... this looks perfect !!! I haven't seen this type of bottle before in perfumes. Don't you think ???<br />

With the black plastic swab applicator, the scent syrup can be put on the skin directly.<br />
<br />
More than this great bottle, actually the sweet scent was really tempting at the shop !!! It is like a PERFECT, I can say. <br />
I really want to share its smell, fruity and a little bit citrus at the beginning, and move to a little more flower and finally settle down to the sweet like Vanilla. Sweet&Romantic, very Majolica Majorca's fragrance !!!<br />
<br />
Majolica majorca is the Japanese drugstore cosmetic brands by SHISEIDO.<br />
<br />
They have some shops in HK or Singapore, Taiwan etc. I didn't know this fact until today... amazing ! The concept or package is a little too sweet and lovely on me... but they have many good-quality items. My recommendation is Liquid Eyeliners. If you meet this cosmetics somewhere, please check them out ;-DNorikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513663641758080044noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551932049654353262.post-25419607412281549362010-10-24T23:35:00.000+09:002010-10-24T23:35:57.241+09:00Shopping day in October - Autumn Fasion itemsIn October here, I feel a little hot in a day time, but cold at the morning and night. Not easy to choose what clothes I should wear. The shops started offering a little discount on Autumn Items already and the winter items comes up. Time to get ready for a winter ??? Ummm... can't catch up really. Still need to buy some Autumn look items. So, early discounting was nice.<br />
<br />
What I bought today at the several shops in a shopping mall,<br />
<br />
I fell in love with this jacket at my first sight !!! JPY3,980 is good deal, right ? <br />

I am trying to use the natural staffs as much as possible. But, the lovely goodies in a drugstore are always tempting. <br />
<br />
All Japanese big name cosmetic companies have sub-brand for drugstores. One of my favorites is <a href="http://www.kanebo-cosmetics.jp/lavshuca/index.html">Lavshuca</a> (produced by Kanebo). Firstly, their product package is so cute !!!! Thier e/s pallets or various lip items are high quality for price and actually highly-rated in Japanese No.1 cosmetic rating site. <br />
<br />
<br />

Today, I found some new products of Lavshuca and could not go without buying.... <br />
The sad thing is that this brand is not discounted normally. But, today the store offers 10% point-back sales. <br />
<br />
What I bought is this, <br />

Her lip color is OR-1. I was wavering which color I should buy. But... I already have Orange color of Lavshuca. So, I selected more red color that could match more on Fall looks. <br />
All colors has gold pearl shimmer that can conform to the yellow-based skin color for Japanese gals. <br />

It is colder here, but sometimes a little hot in the daytime. <br />
Umm.... it makes me waver which clothes I should wear every morning.<br />
I should go out and get some new clothes..hehe;-D<br />
Before that, it is much easier to get the autumn foods. <br />
<br />
I highly recommend you to come to Japan in Autumn to enjoy the seasonal foods. <br />
Yes, the cherry blossom season would be nice timing, but for Japanese food lovers, Autumn is one of good choices. Fish is better in the colder season here. <br />
<br />
I shopped around the food floor in the department and found many kinds of Autumn Food materials that looks really nice. No.1 Japanese Autumn Food must be MATSUTAKE. It is a kind of mushroom. It is really expensive. I can not buy Japanese one at all... cause it is over JPY10,000 !!!! Wow. <br />
<br />

Japan imports Matsutake from USA, CANADA, KOREA, CHINA, even SWEDEN recently. <br />
If you find Matsutake in your country, the export might be a good biz, haha. <br />
<br />
And, I can say the most popular fish in Autumn is this. <br />

<br />
Only JPY298 for 1 package (after discounted). Good deal. I can't wait eating later. <br />
Sanma (pacific saury) can be eaten in fresh only in case of very fresh material. <br />
Only available in some monthes of Autumn. So, need to eat now a lot. hehe.<br />
<br />
Also, Fruit is good in Autumn with much more varieties. <br />
A grape is Autumn Fruit. I choose a little exensive one today.<br />

Mozo ?!? <a href="http://www.mozo-wondercity.com/">Mozo Wonder-city</a> is a new large shopping mall in Nagoya city. The largest super mkt chain, AEON, put up this. <br />

It is EGM cover-me (earthen glow minerals). But, suddenly their web-site was closed. So, I started serching for the new best foundie again.<br />
First one I tried to order is PURE LUXE. This brand is popular among Japanese mmu users <br />
<br />
I heard the good reputation from the blogs of my blog friends in Japan. The finish looks similar with EGM.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_qK7ja44C2w5alLZzk0wI39cOLgYF3WbQQdbSE8xg_vAXUjUBROXhbr8sjkp8F26KXmQy8xosUwo27PhsgZ6n5vE2n9RRCsdG04aernl_OQqGmWalTKDJaDJeov9sO0J0olLDgJf7raYA/s1600/DSCN4621.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_qK7ja44C2w5alLZzk0wI39cOLgYF3WbQQdbSE8xg_vAXUjUBROXhbr8sjkp8F26KXmQy8xosUwo27PhsgZ6n5vE2n9RRCsdG04aernl_OQqGmWalTKDJaDJeov9sO0J0olLDgJf7raYA/s320/DSCN4621.JPG" /></a></div><br />
1. Strong Yellow one is WARM HONEY. You know, my skin has yellow under-tone. But, this is too yellow.<br />
<br />
2. left one on the bottom is WARM CREAM. It is also in Yellow category but light with a little hint of pink. It looks good on me.<br />
<br />
3. right one on the bottom is Autumn. It is darker than WARM CREAM. But, it looks fine.<br />
<br />
All foundies has a little sparkling powder and give the dawny finish The powder texture looks like ALIMA foundies I have. I am not good at well-fined loose type.<br />

This is my 2nd best foundie so far.<br />
Warm 2 has a little more pink than Warm Cream, I feel.<br />
The coverage is better in EGM... But, I totally love Pure luxe foundies. I will put it in my list to buy Full-size.

Usually, I check the time on my mobile phone or the clocks around me.<br />
<br />
But, everytimes I am traveling, I feel I want it ! I have bought some cheap watches then.<br />
But but, such watches always don't move well in my next trip :-(<br />
<br />
I know I can not take care of a watch. So, my decision is this.<br />
<br />

It is the most expensive staff in my recent shopping.<br />
It is Atomic Watch with Solar Power !!!<br />
Yes, I won't get in trouble with battery-out or setting a watch ANY MORE. YEY !<br />
This is the smallest type of watch for Atomic Watch. It is ok to go on my small hand. <br />
Firstly I wanted to buy full-gold color but this was too loud on me...<br />
So, my skin color goes with gold rather than silver.... and I decided to go for the combination<br />
What type of watch do you wear or like ???Norikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513663641758080044noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551932049654353262.post-70364570333149402052010-09-11T23:40:00.000+09:002010-09-11T23:40:22.360+09:00Vox will be closedI had been away from another blog I wrote in English. It was located in Vox. But, I got a surprising news that VOX will be closed. The reason why I started Vox blog was that we wanted to import some cosmetic staffs from USA - like Mineral make up. Vox has a lovely GROUP of MMU users. It was fun to communicate with the members of that group. I also could get a lot of informaion about MMU. <br />
It is sad news that Vox will be closed. But, my recent activity there is much less than before because more members left Vox etc... Probably VOX lost the users... that is the reason why they have to close it. <br />
<br />
I tried to make up this blog to write more about Japanese products, foods, and my life here. But, from now, I am trying to write about some cosmetic staffs as I wrote about in VOX. Yes, these are cosmetic goodies like MMU.. maybe more about Japanese cosmetics :-DNorikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513663641758080044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551932049654353262.post-33053469555279793032010-09-05T11:02:00.000+09:002010-09-05T11:02:45.026+09:00Ramdom Japanese Food Pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It is sprit distilled from Rice. <br />
And, not like other nomal Shochu, there is a vintage type in 泡盛。I can say this brand is the most popular/familier one for 泡盛 vintage (古酒)。There are so many brands available. Rare one only available in the local place sounds interesting. <br />
But, for me, くら is good enough. I love this taste. <br />
Sometime I can see this small bottle type at the convenient store. Easy to buy anywhere all over Japan. <br />
And, it seems that くら has Gold medal also at Monde Selection (International food fair) ! <br />
<br />

The TV news talks about too hot summer this year...sigh....<br />
In a hot summer, Beer moves well. I also noticed I often buy beers this summer. <br />
Do you know many TYPES of Beer on sales in Japan ? <br />
Some of them are NOT beer...what ??? Yes, here is the new type of beer ! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5MmzEuS9Z1bAuVfd3kqVO0p7excc00oUHUT7F4NZ52F0OFxeOWgkV8CSGBZDRXlbBEPqtWFKEm0dwkJffqoznKDVZfX4oa7OShRg4AYrdSwPd6ar4qTEAQ2RzyReczEFJzDK3yTT10Vev/s1600/DSCN4557.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5MmzEuS9Z1bAuVfd3kqVO0p7excc00oUHUT7F4NZ52F0OFxeOWgkV8CSGBZDRXlbBEPqtWFKEm0dwkJffqoznKDVZfX4oa7OShRg4AYrdSwPd6ar4qTEAQ2RzyReczEFJzDK3yTT10Vev/s320/DSCN4557.JPG" /></a></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">All looks Beer. But ALL are NOT real beer. </div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Even one of them is NOT alcohol drink either lol.</div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">1) Blue one on right is 発泡酒 (low malt beer) </div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">2) green one on middle is, what is called, a new type of beer. </div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Sparking liquor with beer Taste. This contains less suger 70% off. The taste is lighter. Good for ladies.</div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">3) Right one is not Alcohol drink. </div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">So, i can say this is Juice ??? Even Children can drink this...but most likely too bitter for them though...hehe.</div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Here in Japan, there is alcohol TAX. It is decided on the quantity of used malt. So, all beer makers create those new type of beers and low malt beer's price is lower than normal real Beer. </div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">The appearance all looks beer....and new products come up. It easily confuse me in my shopping. </div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I am not a beer lover. So, those reasonable new type of beers are very welcome. </div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">But, please be careful to pick up the beer at Japanese shops.</div><div style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Lr2lSlofu_pJwe9G6TBn2MDv6hRykPe2k-MfWHKgmXzvK8yib7FF5JqifmILYm0SzOShCJyG-6Q8btBNV3NGaDkmrkYyUvh5xY8nDel1tx7Ag4whAOhZHY9mDFNX9d76HGkYAamLhYru/s1600/PAP_0004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Lr2lSlofu_pJwe9G6TBn2MDv6hRykPe2k-MfWHKgmXzvK8yib7FF5JqifmILYm0SzOShCJyG-6Q8btBNV3NGaDkmrkYyUvh5xY8nDel1tx7Ag4whAOhZHY9mDFNX9d76HGkYAamLhYru/s320/PAP_0004.JPG" /></a></div><br />

We're in the Obon Festival holidays, this is the main holidays for Japanese people. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Typical way to spend Obon holidays is to be with families. People go back to the hometown and also visit family graves to comfort the spirits of their ancestors as well. And, in this period, August 15th is included. It is the anniversary of the end of the Pacific War. Yes, it is the time to think about the families and ancestors.... and our own lifes etc... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Tonight, I went for a dinner with my father, hubby, and my sister and her family members. The restaurant (Izakaya) is located near the city station, on the local shopping street. This place always reminds me of my old time. I often go shopping etc in my childhood. The street has been changed. Some shops were not there anymore. And the new stores or building are seen. But, still good local atmosphere. It still bring me back to some memories.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It was so wonderful time tonight at that restaurant. The small bon dance festival takes place nearby. I could hear that sound. This sound makes me feed VERY SUMMER :-D </span><br />

I feel this summer is strange Last night, I suddenly heard a strange sound, something noisy. It started raining so heavily. But, it was just short time. Is it a squall ??? It reminds me of my trip to Bali..haha. <br />

This is Gyudon (= bowl of rice topped with beef). I can say this is Japanese Fast food. There are many ''Gyudon'' restaurant chain. 2 big ones are also near my house.<br />
<br />
My favorite is the oldest chain - YOSHINOYA.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqKxmq0gPsampXKdEHXvHLBL7Zh78c6FIfYLUQCGYHeIPBZS5tmEYlOHdb1CrdJlWedNVL66DD4uRsN3dfWXURO2Ow3UVazz9QQPX0vgRHgdZbMCTZe9qjEHJIFHmyxnVMC8516uMqL3-W/s1600/index_ph001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqKxmq0gPsampXKdEHXvHLBL7Zh78c6FIfYLUQCGYHeIPBZS5tmEYlOHdb1CrdJlWedNVL66DD4uRsN3dfWXURO2Ow3UVazz9QQPX0vgRHgdZbMCTZe9qjEHJIFHmyxnVMC8516uMqL3-W/s320/index_ph001.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Beef is the most expensive choices in meat. But, Gyudon is the reasonable choice for food, I can say. The price is JPY380 in Yoshinoya. And the newer and larger chains offer just JPY280 !!!!! Incredible price. Why ??? They use the imported beef from USA or AUST. And beefs are well sliced ^^ My favorite YOSHINOYA gyudon is more expensive but I believe the taste is better :-D<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
They offer many various menus of Gyudon (combination with Cheese or Kimuchi (Korean taste) or even with Italian Tomato source and so one). So fascinating !!!! And also other menus like Curry or Grilled eel Rice bowl are available. I should admire this establishment in this point<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Gyudon is a kind of JAPANESE culture. Such companies activity are often picked up on the news. Each chains have been making the heated battle. And this summer, SUKIYA put up the big campaign and now offer only JPY250 for a original standard GYUDON. I am sure it is really good deal. With JPY250 (= around $3 currently), we only buy 2 Rice bowls or 2 Breads.<br />

It is rare to be off on the week day and I have something to go. But for my relaxing time, I finished them up in the morning (going to the hospital and bank). In the afternoon, I took 90 minutes Oil massage after shopping around in the department store. <br />
<br />
The best floor I like in the department is FOOD section. We call '' Depa-Chika'' meaning the basement floor of a department store where the delicatessen sections are usually placed. The big department floors have 2 floors for food sections. Usually,1 floor has various shops of Sweet, bakery, and delicatessens etc. And the other sell the daily food stuffs with meat/fish/vegetables shops. I like to buy meat at meat shops and fish at fish shops if possible.. but unfortunately those local shopping stores are taken place by the super mkt.<br />
But, when I go to the department store, I can find the small shops of fish/meat/vegetables at once on the same floor. It gave me the enjoyable time of shopping. Shopping should be fun always.. right ? <br />
<br />
And what I shopped there is '' Beef'' :-D <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghegiLz1bjpFEzgqQBxKjVHnPJBS7HEURSULo7ALyj92hsBf0aEtrbSu9NP4uDwRK23Lk_OVmuP6AsMTrMz7i1AyS6Z0f7B1zGtZiYdckluLbWNqmKKHLA514yuYgMW5boSGSUvXw6obGj/s1600/PAP_0004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" bx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghegiLz1bjpFEzgqQBxKjVHnPJBS7HEURSULo7ALyj92hsBf0aEtrbSu9NP4uDwRK23Lk_OVmuP6AsMTrMz7i1AyS6Z0f7B1zGtZiYdckluLbWNqmKKHLA514yuYgMW5boSGSUvXw6obGj/s320/PAP_0004.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Normally the sales unit is per 100gm at the meat shop. These are already sliced or cut for each menu ; <br />
<br />
すき焼き = Sukiyaki (thin slices of beef cooked with vegetables at the table in soy sauce, sake and sugar)<br />
焼肉 = thicker slices for BBQ <br />
こま切れ Komagire = Hash. Usually the most reasonable one<br />
<br />
Also, beef for stakes or minces are available. <br />
<br />
Above picture is just one corner of a lot of types, reasonable products. <br />
But, pls take a look this ! <br />

This is selected and branded beef - JPY1,575 per 100gm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
The good beef Japanese people thing are marbled one, fat and red part good balanced. This kind of beef is like melting in the mouse. <br />
But, this is not highest one. The highest price one in this shop is JPY2500 per 100gm ! <br />

The cheapest hash one - JPY298 per 100gm. <br />
That is the best for '' Nikujyaga'' -(simmered) meat and potatoes. It is Japanese popular dish for home cooking. <br />
<br />
Today, I got the very easy recipe. Normally we use the soup from dried bonito. But, this recipe does not need it. All seasonings we need are SUGAR, SOY SOURCE, JAPANESE SAKE. <br />
The ingredients are sliced beef, Onion, Potatoes and carrot. <br />
<br />
Here is the recipe. <br />
<br />
<div></div><div></div><ol><li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">stir-fry the sliced beef with a small amount of oil</li>

I feel Japan is becoming more like sothern country...<br />
On the hot day, I want to eat something spicy. For me, Thai food must be perfect ! But, unfortunately, it is hard to cook and uncommon here. So, today, I picked up some Korean foods at the super mkt. Yes, Korean foods are popular and already common food stuffs I easily buy even at the local super mkt :-D <br />
<br />

キムチ(ki-mu-chi = Korea's traditional fiery pickle) - JPY250 around <br />
I can find several kinds of Kimuchi at the stores. Some are imported from Korea. This is common one the famous Japanese Tsukemono (Japanese pickle) company. <br />
<br />
And also picked up another major Korean food. <br />
<br />

JPY100 per pack .<br />
I love this seaweed. This is seaoned by sesami oil and salt. Good with RICE too ! <br />
I have ordered 1 box of this seaweed on the web once. It is much more reasonable price. <br />
<br />
Korean food is already well-recoginized also in Japan. There are many Korean dinings. Korean BBQ is one of major ones. Korean food taste ONIGI with this seasoned seaweed is on sales at the convenience store. <br />
<br />
Anyway, tonight, I put Kimuchi and Seaweed over TOFU with a seasoning soy sourse. It was good.Norikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513663641758080044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551932049654353262.post-45728220866950987472010-07-04T03:56:00.001+09:002010-07-04T03:56:32.776+09:00コンビニ=convenience storesThe convenience store (call '' Konbini'' in Japan) didn't exist when I was a child. But, now I can not imagine the world without the convenience store. It has been increasing and developing. Today, i can say too many in Japan. It is not good for the company running the convenience stores. But for me, a customer, it means it gets more convenient... that is great thing. <br />
And, too many stores means more competition in each shop/convenience store chain. So, the quality of food or sweet has been improving. The new items are released so often not to get us tired.<br />
<br />
On Friday, I overworked and dropped at the convenience store to get a Bento for the dinner cause my hubby was out for a drink with his friends... I feel so easy cause I don't have to take care of the dinner..hehe. What I bought today, <br />
<br />

Tonight, I went to CIRCLE K . They have the best PASTA dishes in the taste, variety. And they often make a new item and naturally makes me feel to try it. The sweet corner was also tempting me. I bought a new item, Creamy baum roll. But, actually, the taste of that is so so.... My best sweet of convenience store is Roll Cake in SEVEN ELEVEN. So, Yammy, it may be better than the cake shop's one. <br />
<br />
And, the drink I recently like is '' Hi Ball''. It is Whiskey and Soda (with Lemon). Not sweet and refreshing with a soda. It is a kind of traditional alc-drink also here. It used to be no so popular, but this year, it gets hot !Norikohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12513663641758080044noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551932049654353262.post-56638205611709619272010-06-27T23:49:00.001+09:002010-06-27T23:49:45.439+09:00Too early Summer Sales<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I feel the bargain sales starts earlier and earlier, year by year....

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I want to wear this in the sneakers. Girly look even with such shoes?!?</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The price in Japan is definately lower than before. I can say this especially in the apparel products. Most of them are made in China, designed and quality-controlled by Japanese companies. So, the quality becomes better than before, I think. Good value for the price. It gives me more chances to enjoy shopping anyway.. haha. For me, it is fun to find the good value items at the reasonable prices. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We got 2 mails this week. One is from the domestic mail order company. And the other is from GERMANY !!! </div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Why and what from Germany ? The answer is these are all skincare items. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFJZNwEAVADvbD9qiMB1V321vT-6XCDp3DSk0L18ifvfsCqIpYvxHGhS5Nio0zYHPjAsD43v0GxMW8hHe8mIAqoDDHQI6xpZtIntyqZA1Vs20iDSZUcYdA6jzKhBabOSoeehyXeF48O5Uq/s1600/DSCN4441.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFJZNwEAVADvbD9qiMB1V321vT-6XCDp3DSk0L18ifvfsCqIpYvxHGhS5Nio0zYHPjAsD43v0GxMW8hHe8mIAqoDDHQI6xpZtIntyqZA1Vs20iDSZUcYdA6jzKhBabOSoeehyXeF48O5Uq/s320/DSCN4441.JPG" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Germany is advanced in the organic products. There are many famous skincare products. Most of them are imported to Japan and I can buy them domestically...but very expensive. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, I personally import them from the shop from German - - - <a href="http://www.bce-europe.com/">Beauty Center Europe</a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">They have English site and can ship internationally :-D</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I am trying my best to use natural skincare and make-up. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">1) Use Mineral foundation to avoid using the strong cleanser </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">2) Not too-much washing </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">3) Not over-protecting my skin with many skincare good (this is the most difficult thing for me cause I am basically curious about skincare goodies and want to try ...hehe)</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I used to feel my skin dried often during a day, even with wearing the liquid foundation. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">But, we don't feel so at all !!!! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Also, the daily skincare are more simple and easy. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Okay, getting back to Shopping itself, the total amount for above 6 items are around Euro 110 including the shipping charge. It is equivalent to JPY12,000 around. Good deals for 6 items :-D </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Because it is expected to be 2 times more expensive at the Japanese shops. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
