BCL Saborino Morning Sheet Masks
Recommended by beauty blogger Teni Wada: http://thewagamamadiaries.com/
“It’s easy to lose track of time when I’m preoccupied with a million things to do before I leave the house, but, with Saborino Morning Masks, all I need is 60 seconds in the morning to start my day – and my skincare routine. The tingling sensation awakens my senses while the essence acts as face wash, skincare, and moisturizing makeup primer. What’s more, BCL Company frequently releases creative seasonal varieties that smell good enough to eat!”
K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24HR Waterproof – Black
Recommended by beauty blogger Mhisha Cuyson: https://www.mhisha.com/
“Being Asian means having very small eyes and in order to add depth and emphasize this beautiful feature, I love adding a bit of dramatic effect by creating a small winged eyeliner. K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24HR Waterproof gives me the darkest shade of black and an application tip that makes it easier for me to do the winged liner. It’s long-lasting yet will not take a lot of time to remove; I also don’t have to worry about having panda eyes as it stays without smudging. Definitely a must-have product and something I can’t leave the home without.”
Hada Labo Gokujyun Lotion
Two different beauty bloggers told us that this product was one they cant live without! Read what they said it does to their skin and how they apply it.
Recommended by beauty blogger Myra: https://www.myrabeautydiary.com/
“When my social media followers asked me which product I have used to help restore my damaged skin barrier; an aftermath of several episodes of allergic reactions, I would answer AHA treatments coupled with Hyaluronic Acid-powered hydrating toners or as Japanese would refer to as lotions. Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion deeply hydrates the skin as it contains different molecular sizes of Hyaluronic Acid that penetrate skin layers on different levels, helping the overall moisture balance and preparing the skin to absorb the rest of my skincare products. This toner can be used as a first step after your cleansing routine or when in need. Place 3 to 4 drops on thin cotton pads and place them on dry facial areas as a point mask to have a quick hydrating treatment. I also love putting the toner in fridge these days as chilled toner is such a saviour in our current hot weather. As I actually have normal to oily skin, I do enjoyed the Light version of this toner too; sometimes layering it several times before applying my sunscreen of the day and I’m good to go!”

“I have severe dry skin due to changes of weather and heavy exposed to air conditioners. My skin looks dull and flaky if I wear make up on my dry skin. I have to wear make up to enhance my beauty. Glad this product is such a savior! I use this magic skin lotion everyday after I clean my face. I really love the light texture, as it absorb easily deep into of my skin layers. It helps me prepare my skin faster since I don’t have to wait for it to dry before I apply my foundation. Other than that, of course, I love the ingredients a lot. It really suits my skin with no irritation. Day by day, my dry skin, especially around my mouth feel moist and soft. Obviously I will recommend this amazing Japanese product to my beloved family and friends.”
Bifesta BrightUp Cleansing Lotion
Recommended by beauty blogger Hollie: http://www.randombeautybyhollie.com/
“One of my favorite products that I got from Japan is the Bifesta BrightUp Cleansing Lotion. This variant is a pore and cell-clearing type of cleansing lotion which removes dead skin cells and dirt trapped in pores. In addition to that, this also contains moisturizing Vitamin C and lactic acid (a type of AHA) for translucent skin. The Bifesta BrightUp Cleansing Lotion is a very hydrating type of cleansing water. This one particularly is able to remove light to heavy makeup without much effort while making my face feel refreshed and well hydrated at the same time. There are many types of makeup removers in the market today but I really do prefer a water based makeup remover for daily use. Especially when I am removing eye makeup since it does not sting nor blur my eyes out like some oil based makeup removers do. Plus this one is affordable so I highly recommend it.”

“This is a lip balm from the Miracle Romance line (Sailor Moon inspired products), it’s certainly my favorite because it moisturizes the lips very well, without leaving a greasy layer, it also has an incredible aroma and what else can I say other than that the packaging is totally magical! In addition to beautiful, it’s quite economical, it cost me approximately $11.70 USD. Thanks to this product, now I have been encouraged to try more things from this brand. I can 100% recommend this product as it meets all that it promises and is also super mega cute!”
