The video is in Japanese but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what the artist is doing. Just follow :)

I found this site that sells traditional Japanese Body Care. Japanese women have really nice skin, I have to give them that and to me…beautiful means beautiful skin. You can have a nice face but if you’re full of acne, you’re still pizza face, like it or not :P So Chidoriya targets to bring traditional oil essence and remedies to bring out the natural beauty of your skin.
They use Camelia oil and that’s an awesome thing especially for scars.
Check out Chidoriya and their list of products.
Now if you’re asking me about what does it have to do with fashion? Well, if beauty and fashion goes hand in hand then body&skin care has every thing to do with fashion. It’s a big part of being beautiful if you ask me :)

No, i don’t think they found a new gold mine somewhere in Japan this time. It’s just that the Gold fashion statement is back again in Japan. Gold jewelry (ew), gold buttons, gold bag, gold shoes, gold scarfs, gold skirts, etc…just you name it, all thing un-gold is being replaced like right this instant as I am typing.
Gold was popular in the 80’s…which is actually one of the worse fashion eras in our lives - shoulder pads, carrot cut pants, and those big hairs,trashy make up…… Please let this not be another 80’s. I have nothing against the color gold except for in jewelry. I hate gold jewelry and prefer to opt for silver, white gold or platinum. I still kept that gold bracelet my dad gave me as a sentimental item but it won’t be appearing on my wrist anytime soon. But that doesn’t change that the Gold Rush is back in the fashion industry.
Here are some goldies for you:
That’s all the gold I have for now.

Shu Uemura is a cosmetics brand that has achieved international recognition. Their line of cosmetics ventures from lipstick to facial care…and it’s completely Japanese. It all started by a man name Shu Uemura, naturally. He is what we would call the inconventional man whose life is dedicated to making women beautiful. As Japanese women always love looking well made up and beautiful - Uemura-san took this as an opportunity to incorporate his sense of traditional and contemporary cosmetics to be introduced to the market in Japan. He who is a skin care specialist and make up artist created the brand Shu Uemura and has seen taken off to international heights wit his products.
You will see his products being used in fashion shows, by Hollywood artists, Hong Kong artists, Taiwan artists and the general public who can afford using Shu Uemura every other time. Their product is for serious fashionista and you won’t find giggly teenage hovering in any of their chains. With a make up brush that can cost up to USD250 each, you better be serious about making yourself up like a doll to get all the mileage u paid for that brush.
However, Shu Uemura’s line of product is known of its quality and awesome range. Going into one of their stores will have you propped up by one of their assistants with a lesson on how to make you, a more beautiful you with their line of products. I have a Shu Uemura eyeliner, given to me as a free gift in one of the departmental stores in Malaysia (I’m Malaysian). I’ve only used it once, like a minute ago before i came to write this post and it’s been sitting on the shelve for uhm…2 years? It still works and I don’t feel like my eyeballs are burning (yet) so shelf life wise, I think Shu Uemura’s pretty good. I’m gonna take a 15 minute interval to see if i have any bad reaction from this). BRB.

Nope, nothing, I’m still fine and my eyes are still gorgeous *blinks* :D
This Japanese brand is definitely worth a try although, I don’t know if I am able to fork out 250 bucks for a brush. I’m not really big on making myself up like a doll unless it’s worth it :P

In Japan, you don’t say “make up”, but “make”. And in Japan, before you put colour on your eyes, you change the shape of your eyelids to have a “fold” over the eyes, therefore making them bigger. Via Taro (at the news section of 3Yen), you can now see what it’s like to be a Japanese woman, on a daily basis.
The most popular plastic surgery procedure for Japanese and Asians the so-called “double eyelid” surgery to make slanted eyes rounder. Here’s a “Makeup Lesson” for eye gluing and taping to simulate round eyes.
