With × Canal 4℃

With is a Japanese magazine that I am not familiar with. After going through its pages, I noticed that it runs in the same vein as Sweet, and I think they cater to a similar audience. Name: With ウィズ Issue: December 2013 Price: NT$ 279 ASIN: B00FQPJPOG Canal 4℃ (カナル4℃) makes affordable dainty jewellery, so I reckon they would know a thing or two about travelling with jewellery.

The interior was somewhat of a letdown because all that red check is a mismatch and...

Kose Infinity Pure Advance: Essence Lotion II, Serum II

Infinity Pure Advance インフィニティ ピュア アドバンス is an anti-ageing series designed for skin in 20s and early 30s. It enlists the services of botanical ingredients (Rosa Multiflora Fruit, Shell Ginger Leaf Extract, Okra) to boost skin hydration and erase pores. I was really surprised when I failed to find information regarding this range on @cosme. Further research lead me to the assumption that it is not sold in Japan... but why when it is so so so good?
