The best J-beauty tone-up sunscreen I've ever tried | Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence Review

I bet you know the brand Nivea, but do you know that European sunscreens from Nivea are very different from ones sold in Japan? I wanted to test it on my own, that's why last year I ordered Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence - a new tone-up sunscreen released by Nivea in 2023.

An essence with over 100 years of history? Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence Review

The best Japanese foundation I've ever tried! Sensai Luminous Sheer Foundation SPF 15 review

Finding an ideal foundation can be tricky, and I have to admit - finding a product that fits me 100% feels like an impossible task. Ordering makeup from Asia can take a while, but I found a great Japanese foundation at Douglas. Sensai Luminous Sheer Foundation SPF 15 is not your regular foundation, but a lightweight formula that reminds me of... tint! 

Rohto Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence Spf 50+ Pa++++ Lavender | Are tone up sunscreens good?

I didn't have many chances to test Japanese skincare, but Japanese sunscreens are one of the most popular j-beauty products. Even Nivea in Japan has different formulas which many beauty enthusiasts crave to see in Europe and the US. I knew that Skin Aqua Tone Up Essences are loved by many people, but I've decided to test a version that my friends wouldn't recommend. Meet Rohto Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence Spf 50+ Pa++++ Lavender - a sunscreen with a lavender undertone to balance your skin.
