    • Yeah and I just noticed now it's also used for like if you get a rash from like sweating a lot which oh I get that too actually I've never used it for that but it says you can use it for that as well I've only used it for bug bites yeah and mosquito bites so something new I learned and then another same thing we got was oh yes so I thought this was really cute it's a roll-on sunscreen but it smells like watermelon I think it smells like candy's about to open it okay probably just smells like watermelon yeah but it has watermelon colors to it's like a clear I don't really smell the watermelon though I guess it's just like a watermelon color then but you know I'm a little bit sick so I might no I do not smell anything so it's a SPF 50 which is great got this too because it's easy to apply on your skin you don't have to use cream and get your hands dirty with it you could just easily apply also easy to carry around yeah I also this time was really focused on getting sunscreen in Japan because I recently learned that American sunscreen is not as effective as sunscreen in Japan or European countries the ingredients they use in Europe and Japan are much more effective and blocks out UV rays compared to the U.S. and I think the U.S. is there are people now starting to kind of push forward the laws to change so that we can get more effective sunscreen here so yeah something new I learned so I'm like okay well next time I go back I'm gonna buy sunscreen in Japan because yeah skin care skin cancer is a big thing so I want anything that would be much more protective so yeah this is one of the good things we got so before we move on to all the makeup products that we bought I wanted to share one more thing that I got these are breath mints but they're different kind of breath mints because you don't chew on it you actually swallow it kind of like a pill it has more effectiveness because it works from your stomach and up it's so that if you smell like alcohol or if you had too much garlic this actually gets rid of it if I had to guess this probably coats the lining of your stomach or something yeah so it works from your gut and works up so it's not you know because if you chew gum or if you have a breath mint it works temporarily but it's still there you could still smell it whereas yeah yeah if you burp too but this if you burp it's minty so then into makeup now we love makeup products in Japan I recently really got into it just within the last year because all their products not just Japanese products but they have a lot of Korean products too which I love and Korea is known for all the skin care and makeup items so one of my favorite items lately is this glitter eyeliner so Candy got it this time too because when I got it last time in March she was like oh that looks yeah we went to loft and lot if you haven't been to loft they have a ton of makeup there too and she got the glitter eyeliner and I and I've been wanting it ever since she got hers so this time I'm like the first thing we can look for yeah is eye glitter yes so we got we both got two yeah different brands different brands it's a really subtle thing but it gives you like this little sparkle and I think it's like the cutest thing yeah it brightens your eyes it actually makes your eyes look a little bit bigger I just love that hint of sparkle it doesn't look like you're applying a lot of makeup and it's not hard to apply either they have different types of brushes then you can test them out when you're at the store and they have a lot of different colors but we both kind of went with a neutral color like this one is like a peach a peachy type color and this one's more of like a beige so one is called shine and the other one has fairy jewel fairy jewel yeah so this shine one is actually a Korean brand too though like I like a lot of um I'm not sure what brand this one if this is Korean or not usually they say on the packaging if it's a Korean brand adding to that another thing I bought earlier this year at loft was lipstick slash lip gloss but I don't like the lip gloss where it's a stick where you apply with like a sponge I don't like that type I kind of like the lipstick feature it's also I feel like more shiny when it's with the yeah and I don't like that shiny gloss I just want a little bit shine not like over the top shine like a glass effect yeah I don't like it so I've been finding like this type of lipstick slash I think they call like a volume volumizing lip fondue this has like a little bit more matte to it it's not just all gloss so it has the perfect combination of what I'm looking for is like I want a little bit of shine but I want it to act like it's a chapstick it's a tinted chapstick and it's pink it's like a menthol type of tinted chapstick so I got one of these as well I did buy a eyebrow pencil I do draw in um some of my eyebrows so I like to like I have just like little naked spots on my eyebrows that I like to fill in so I like these really super thin eyebrow pencils and I mean I can easily get something similar in the states I just decided to get one because the exchange rate is so great right now I can get it so much cheaper there so no no particular reason why I went with this brand it was just I just saw this one they had my color and I like that it was super thin so another makeup product um I wear um what do you call it it's not extensions just eyelashes I guess oh fake eyelashes yeah just fake lash so I usually use eyelash glue from Shiseido and the Shiseido glue works great it's like my favorite glue I don't use any other glue um but I did see this where it says it's a super strong eyelash fixer and I don't know if you're like me but there are times where I have the eyelash on and there's just like one little spot that's like kind of coming up but I don't want to remove the whole eyelash I think it's happening to me right now yeah and so apparently this is supposed to like just target that one area that's a fixer and I wouldn't have bought it but it said it's number one right now like the most popular eyelash like you know glue so I'm like okay it's super popular I'll give it a try basically it's got a really fine tip so you can just touch up the little area I haven't used it yet obviously um but I have high hopes for it so next um Candy was in the eyelash curler section because she needed some extra what do you call this like pads or something yeah eyelash curler pads yeah so like oh yeah I we saw some eyelash curlers that looked really uh advanced so I was like you know what I do want another eyelash curler just to test it out we both use the Shiseido eyelash curler because it works really well but I was going to try a new one just to see what it was like yeah yeah I wanted to try a new one because this one said it's a wide type I have pretty big eyes so my eyelash curler I love my Shiseido one but it never really gets all the way to the tip to the end so I was like well maybe I'll try this maybe it'll like cover my entire eyelash so we'll see it even says like the length 39 millimeters mine says it's edge free eyelash curler so I'm not sure I'm not sure what that means this is kind of a random item I I want to say like almost 10 years ago I bought a uh what do you call this tweezer I couldn't think of it I bought a tweezer from Matsumoto Kiyoshi and I still use it till this day it's amazing it gets all those little like you know little hairs that I want to pluck so this time I was like I'm gonna find that same one they don't have any more obviously probably because it's like over 10 years ago but I did find this one it's a mini tweezer and it looked really good like a good quality the tip was really sharp so it has a nice little case so hopefully this one lasts just as long as my other one that I bought and then back to kind of skincare I wanted to get sunscreen just for my face because the other one we bought it's more for like I want to use on my arms and my neck and shoulders like areas that aren't on my face so I wanted to get one specifically for my face I found this one it's sunscreen with moisturizer with this one is like a thick like milky type moisturizer oh and also has that brightening and skincare by age daily brightening UV protector that's pretty much it we got one more thing left yeah this we got together we got the thing is called hair hair mascara hair mascara hair mascara I know it sounds so weird but I know there are a lot of people out there when they put their hair up in a ponytail or you know they want to put their hair back really slick and sometimes you have like those little flyaways or you got that annoying baby hair that just wants to stick out so this is kind of a nice little touch up where you can use it on those like stray hairs that are flyaways or on those baby hairs and it smooths it and it tames those flyaway hairs and it really works like my sister was using it and I was like what at first I said she's going to redo her eyelashes but then she started using it on her hair and it really did tame like her little baby hairs and her flyaways when she had it up in a ponytail so this time I was like I want to get one of those that's I'd really I honestly don't know what the ingredients are though like yeah I mean I just jumped on the bandwagon I'm like yeah I want one too so like you can use it like here if you want like to put it down I have lots of flyaway hair all the time see how it went down right away and instant yeah and it's not like it doesn't get hard or anything it's just like I feel like it's a little bit like a like an oily type of product but it is a little bit sticky but it's not over it's not like too much oh I do have one more thing it was missing it was like I mean it was hiding so this is I mean you can buy this in the states too like I said it's just because exchange rate was so good I decided to buy it it's a eyelash and eyebrow comb so whenever I put on like mascara on my especially my bottom lashes it kind of clumps up so I just I like to have a comb to kind of like take the clumps out and the great thing about this is that it's actually foldable that's why I liked it I was like oh I want a compact one it's for when I travel so that's that and I think that's it right yeah that's it but so all this mine was I think a little bit over 10,000 yen and in US dollars that was 65 dollars so it's such a great deal because just like three years ago a dollar was basically like 100 yen so this would have all cost a little bit over a hundred dollars but now with the US dollar being so strong this was 65 dollars so yeah such a big difference mine was about the same mine was about 66 dollars yeah um so yeah but that's with the uh tax taken off and also the five percent they got taken off for following them on Facebook yeah all right well I hope you enjoyed this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and if you want to watch more of our videos please subscribe to our channel thanks for watching bye

      Yeah and I just noticed now it's also used for like if you get a rash from like sweating a lot which oh I get that too actually I've never used it for that but it says you can use it for that as

    • That's a bit too harsh. So today, because I've used brightening, kojic acid stuff, I can use something hydrating. And I'm going to use the Magic Serum. I use this on shoots because it makes your skin feel so nice. I'll just push it in. And you know what? I know you're not really meant to like fragrance in skincare, but it smells so good. And it kind of gets rid of that vomit smell from earlier. I want to make sure that going to bed, I'm using something that has hydration, has moisturization, and is occlusive, which means that it's not letting any trans-epidermal water last. Oh my God. I learned that from the derms on YouTube. That is when you lose moisture through your skin barrier. So I try and use something that's occlusive, a little bit thick, so it stops it from doing that. But first I will respray myself with hydration. I like the concept of layering hydration. That's something I learned through the 12-step Korean skincare routine, which I used to do, but now no longer do because it's a lot. And now I've replaced it with something else, which is also 12-step. Then we go in with magic cream. I honestly use this every single night on tour, and it is so good for protecting my skin under my makeup. And then I was like, one night I just didn't have my moisturizer. I ran out. So I started using this and I was like, oh my God, this is amazing. And my skin was so hydrated the next morning. So now I use it as the last step of my skincare routine. I don't know if you've ever seen me live, but I have a wind machine. And obviously I sweat a lot. There's a lot of dust, a lot of stuff flying around. My skin gets so dry on stage if I don't hydrate it. I've tried lots of different things. I've tried
