Love to all x - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
"overstimulating" is such an accurate description for donki omg 😭😭😭 every time i feel determined to go inside to shop i end up leaving within 5 minutes bc of how noisy and claustrophobic it was
I thought it was just me 😂 the only time I ever been able to stay in Donki is when there isn't much people and I have a shopping list and then I just leave lol
I literally bought sandals that I still use and contacts lens. I couldn't deal with all the chaos. The Shibuya Donki is actually less chaotic.
if i may know is there any anua,innisfree or skin1004 products in don quijote?
@@spatchcockedturkey4597 nope, those are korean products, not japanese; i think you'll have a better time finding them in k-beauty stores or online!
@@honey6173 i understand, i was hoping they have them because she said they have some k beauty products but im pretty sure they don’t have the widest selections
Matsukiyo was my favourite when I went in Japan. Especially, one time when a staff member at the cashier told me about the 15% off deal that was only available to Matsukiyo members, he helped me download the app to sign up for the membership. He was so patient and translated some of the form for me. I'm sure he could tell I was a foreigner and didn't live in Japan yet he still helped me get the deal. I don't even know if that is even allowed lol. I wasn't expecting that at all. He didn't even have to do that for me as a foreigner, who even does that 🥺 I still have the app even though I'm not in Japan anymore 😂
Omg that’s so nice of him!! Haha what a gem, and totes worth it for the 15% off 😆💞
Loft is also my absolute favourite, along with Tokyu Hands. I swear these two are responsible for maybe 70% of my stationery and stickers collection.
It's always a treat to watch your content n lately I'm getting into Japanese skincare thanks to you☺️
Oh THANK YOU THANK YOU!! What perfect timing to have found this video. I'll be back in Japan soon and really appreciated this detailed, thoughtful look at the pros, cons and everything else in between when it comes to the (as you so well said, 'overwhelming and overstimulating') shopping options in Tokyo. Thanks Tina, another excellent video. You included some genuinely helpful information, like maps, outside shots and advice on which is generally cheaper and most worth visiting. Appreciated. 🙏
love your videos ❤ i got me so many j-beauty products last time i visited japan from your recommendations and loved them all!
Just the video I needed!! Thanks Tina! ❤️
Thanks for doing this video, Tina. I always appreciate the humongo effort you put in.
Muji reminds me of Ikea, but if they carried beauty. Love it. I think I’d start there and ease my way in. I live in the U.S. and to me the other stores look VERY well stocked and too much to look at in one visit.
Love your videos, thanks!💕😀
Thank you SO much for making this video guide and updating us Tina! I've been trying to get into Japanese skincare and this is exactly what I was looking for when going to Japan to shop for skincare products and I almost always go to your videos for guidance. I appreciate all the hard work you guys do.
You answered all of what I would ask, saving so many people time having to do research and looking it up.
Please never stop making these videos as they are so valuable for many trying to get into J Beauty and skin care (If you need to take a break I also totally understand!). I will subscribe.
omg THIS WILL BE SO HELPFUL THANK U TINA LOTS OF LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ainz&Tulpe's point card (on smartphone) is so good and to me, it's one of the best out of any shops. I buy my contact lenses there and it fills up points quite quickly. At 50p you get 1000 JPY reduction and at 100p you get 2500 JPY reduction. They also have a lot of coupons (although they used to be better than they are recently). I tend to do my best to buy there if I can because it's so good. (I usually go to the Shinjuku store in front of the station).
This video is so helpful! As I am heading to Japan later this year too! 💙💙💙
Oh thank you. About to head off to Kyushu in a few weeks and was planning on buying most of my beauty products when I arrive in Fukuoka. This has helped me a lot. Thanks ❤
Thank you so much! I can't wait to see Muji next year.
I only got to visit Don Quixote and Matsukiyo and Muji this time, so bummed I couldn’t stop by the others recommended here! Thanks for this video I’m going to save it and watch it again before my next Japan trip!
Hi Tina!! Love to watch a new post from you!!
I love love this videos about japan, they are so rare here in yt
Muji oil cleansers are fabulous and last for aaaaaages! They never irritate and still do an amazing job!
Lovely ☺️ thank you Tina, someday i will visit all those places in beautiful Japan 🇯🇵
Loved shopping @cosme when I visited in June!
Thank you for such an informative video! I'm saving this for future reference 🤩
I just went to japan this April but this video makes me want to go back as soon as possible huhuhu
tina, you're my go-to beauty youtuber when it comes to japan & japanese cosmetics 🫶 going to japan soon so i'll be sure to listen to ur recommendations!
i have less than 2 days left in japan and gosh im SOOO glad i found your channel cuz i literally dont know where to start w skin care shopping 😭 i walk into matsukiyo and just black out
p.s. i literally just searched skin care routine vids randomly on yt cuz im planning to go shopping tomorrow, clicked on one of your videos, got hooked, and then saw this vid in ur recents and its absolutely perfect timing haha
Well I'm glad that I found your comment: which of the beauty stores you went to did you find to be the cheapest with the best selection of stuff? I would have thought Matsukiyo and Donki? What do you reckon?
Love your content as always! I hope to visit Japan one day and especially the cosme flagship store. I can imagine having to buy a whole new luggage just to carry all my shopping back home 😂Was just thinking how it would also be nice to see you review some of the Japanese makeup while you do a look with it? Think it would be quite interesting too since most youtubers usually review korean makeup. That said, I've been paying more attention to Japanese beauty and makeup brands since watching your channel. Recently got some makeup from esprique by kose. The synchro fit liquid uv is quite nice to use as an added spf boost
this was so incredibly helpful.. thank you
girlllll you made my dayyyyyyyyy love how u explain , thxxxx
This video was perfect. I'll try to visit all these places. Thanks so much for an in-depth look
This is soooo helpful. Thank you ❤
Thank you for this video, it's very helpful and important! I'm going to Japan soon, so I will need this ❤
Cosme, definitely!!! Love this, Tina!
Just got back from Japan and hit the same stores you went in the vid ... DonKi , Smile and Matsukiyo at Asakusa. I tried going to Cosme Flagship but ran out of time. Cosme at Lumine Ginza was under whelming. I had more fun shopping at the drugstore in Japan.
I loved to sneak around these department/drug stores back when I was doing an exchange program in Japan. What a reminiscent vdo for me to watch 💚
Hi Tina, such an amazing video 😊❤xx
Thank you Tina. So helpful as I am going to Tokyo this September.
This is so helpful! Thank you! I’m going to Japan next month
skincare and pokemon sounds like my ideal day 🥰
Another great video I fully approve cuz I go to the same shops haha
Thank you, great list
This is helpful! As someone who went to Japan on tour with retired old peeps (I don’t recommend! 😭) the only stores I went to was Donki and Duty Free. Will be coming back with my fam next year so I’m excited to go to some of these places.
I'm half Japanese living in europe at the moment and it's so funny to see you wear the exact same コーデ with Uniqlo hoodie & the shoulder bag 😂 I stock up on uniqlo items too. I found your channel only 2 weeks ago but I've been binging and making a (long) shopping list!!
I love your content and always look forward to your videos, would love to see you try the new round lab cleaners that I saw on Stylevana recently.
❤❤❤❤❤ I’d love to visit muji and donki!!!
this makes me miss Japan :') I'm deffffs going to @cosme on my next trip!
I would literally spend my entire savings shopping in Japan and would have you to thank for that!
There is a new Muji that has the last floor dedicated to second hand clothes in really good shape and great price! I think it is in Shinjuku.
My friends local drug store in Kanagawa is Cocokara Fine, so I'm nostalgic about visiting that store 😊 It was missing some trendy items, but those were easy to find at bigger stores in Tokyo or Yokohama.
Thank youuu Tina! I neeeed to go to at Cosme next time I’m in japan
great video! will make sure to visit a few of these when I get the chance to visit Japan! also it's weird that they don't sell food at Muji in Australia, they definitely do in the UK xoxo
Tysm for this vid, Tina
My favorites are Kokokara and Plaza ❤
My Kokokara has absolutely massive 2 stories selection and they have literally all the sunscreens on the market. And Plaza for all their trendy makeup/hair care and character merch! (Nici, Snoopy, Jellycat, Hydroflask being sold there, too!)
My "overstimulating" experience at Donki was a stolen debit card. Really great :D Also, I liked Tomod's and no tourists were there.
Hi Tina! Can you please make a comparison of the Melano CC Premium vs the regular one? Thank you!! 💞
You make me wanna go to Japan so bad 😅✨🥹
I love your channel. Could you please do a skin care of Korean brands and also makeup. Have you been to South Korea? Thank you so much for this video. I will be going to Japan soon.
Hi Tina thanks for the great video it's so helpful to those of us visiting Japan! I just came back from Hokkaido and I miss Japan already! I tried to look for Ettusais skincare but had trouble looking for it in a variety of drugstores and beauty stores, any tips where they can be found?
I love Muji!!!!!!
Please review Kaine products soon! Been thinking if it is worth the try or not hehe love all of your videos btw!
Loved this video so much Tina. I literally said at the same time as you formerly known as Tokyu Hands. I'm devastated to learn that the Ikebukuro store is no longer. 😢 I will need to find another location the next time I'm there.
All of them!
Tina Top Ten Tina Top Ten
@cosme - nostalgia
fuku-chan - cutest
variety shopping - undefeated
Loved your vlog. I went to japan earlier this year. Found some new stores, Serra is a good one , it’s a bit like Daiso , but different products. So affordable. We went crazy in there. Got a lot of cute stationary, hair accessories,character merch. It was in a department store in Ginza , of all places lol. Didn’t see any other Serra stores , anywhere else though. Would love to visit a hands store and the muji store. But top on the list would be cosme store . I feel that stores like these in Japan , you have to know where they are first. They can be hidden or not where you’d expect. Bit of research goes along way. I’ve been so close to some of the stores you mentioned, and didn’t even know they were there. Lol ❤
Asakusa has like the best place to shop because of variety and better pricing. I don't know why that is but I really enjoyed shopping in less chaotic Shinjuku and Shibuya for cosmetic. However I had a easier time finding Kit Kats in Shibuya.
Hello Tina, Thank you for your kindness in showing the best places to buy in Japan.
I am running a business, and I was looking for videos like yours.
Would you please give me some advice on which store will be best in prices and a variety of products.
Oh my. My anxiety would go up being in there. Sooooo many products.
Lol calling out the chaos that is DQ is so very real of you 😂
I would love to visit all the store
I miss having a local Muji. Most of the US stores closed during the pandemic. 😢
Tina, have you ever gone to shop in Shin Okubo for korean cosmetics?
In a previous video you said that the oil cleanser from MUJI is hard to come by.... is it the same one that's in the Muji in Chadstone and Melbourne Central? I found one there but I wasn't sure if it was the same one you were talking about
Could you maybe do a video reviewing items with the Cosme award symbol on them and giving your opinion on them?
if i may know is there any skin1004 and anua products in don quijote?
*takes out notebook to seriously take notes*
Make a video on Numbuzin vs beauty of joseon serum
My dream is to make camping 3 days in Don Qihote, and one day in MUji! 😁😁❤❤
Do you know where i can find mediheal toner pads in japan?
Any recommendations for j beauty online for us shoppers?
I LOVE Loft, it is such a dangerous store for me 😅
😍😍😍😍
I think i will just go to asakusa and roam around until i collapsed!😂😂😂
Hi Tina,
Thank you ❤
Im going to Japan in November. I just have a question, the drug store ( beauty J Store) accept a credit card ? Thanks ❤❤❤❤
Were can u get these products in america i live in LA Calif.
Anyone know the best sites to order JBeauty products from the States?
Suggest some online pages of Japanese products in japan where products r cheapest 😢
Please recommend l m sri lankan girl i want to know wich night cream and serum good for skin whitening
I would go to Donki with noise canceling headphones on and my shopping list.
Can you please do a j beauty body care haul
Are you in Japan now ? Or are these your old clips ?
Which of these stores is best price-wise?
Donki gives me anxiety every time I shop there’s 😂
I’m confused. Which store should I pick now?😭
This is prob a stupid question but do you have anything specific you recommend for post gym skincare or like is it not a big deal love the channel ty
You can look into hypochlorous spray.. 🙂
AAAAHHHHH I'M ONE OF THE FIRST VIEWERS!!!!!! 😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰
Thank you - you have saved WWIII
Hmm do you recommend to shop at Donki with tax free for all the beauty stuff at once (big haul) or at the the other drugstores? I believe all the other drugstores are cheaper than Donki?
The minimum spend in most shops for tax free is ￥5000 and it's only really worth it if you buy a lot but you see for yourself cause prices vary from shop to shop
This probably wasn't an issue for you since you speak Japanese, but what is the shopping experience like for someone who doesn't? I can only do so much with Google Translate and Duolingo!! Do the employees speak any English? Does it depend on the region? Like I'd imagine more people speak English in a major city like Tokyo than in other parts of Japan. I've always wanted to visit Japan (and many other places) but the language barrier has always scared me!
I went in 2018 Tokyo. I went to Shibuya109, Loft, Matsukiyo, Donki, combini (conviene store) and Disney Store for DisneySea Tickets. And my friend is going in October so I'm also helping her. You just need to know how to get around the city, the basic shopping phrases and what to expect which there are a lot videos like for example each floor has a cashier so is advised to checkout on that floor before moving on to next. Anyways, they usually have have have one or Clerks who can speaks english but they are very patient. I wear contacts but I forgot my contact solution so I went to the local convinces store and asked in basic Japanese because the clerk didn't speak english and he was able help me. I also bought contact lens at Donki in Asakusa with no issues around 10 pm at night but it was really crowded. I also visited the Matsukiyo in the area which had more variety and less expensive than shopping in Shibuya. Shibuya109, Donki and Loft+Tokyu Hands are close each other so you can do full day of shopping it's just a lot more touristy.
I love Donki but I can’t stay too long because of overstimulation 😢😢😢
i went to @cosme and they have a lot of good stuff, but i forgot i cannot read japanese, and was too embarrassed to translate the whole time, so all i got was some eyeshadow lmao
😊🫰🏻
