Came across this brand; Yojiya while I was in Kyoto in May 2013. I was suspicious as there were a lot of ladies inside the shop, so I dragged my husband into the shop with me. At 1st I was walking around aimlessly, then I finally approached the shop assistant to ask what their best sellers were. She brought me to a corner where they displayed all their bestsellers, of course I bought almost all of them :)
Facial oil blotting paper (aburatorigami)
Price: 3 booklets for JPY1,020
1 booklet contains 20 sheets (3.5" x 3.5")
Function: Cleanses your skin and prepares it for smoother application of make-up by gently absorbing excess skin oil
Lip balm + hand lotion (set)
Price: JPY1,580
The Yojiya lip balm is quite sheer but smells absolutely divine! I like to use it before I go to bed (I use good ol' Silky Girl lip balm for day time). Will definitely be pining for the lip balm once it's finished! The hand cream smells great, too.
After my 1st shopping experience @ Yojiya, I read up more about it online & discovered that it's a cult local brand in Japan. I'm a sucker for these sort of things so I decided that I need to pay Yojiya another visit. The selection of Yojiya cosmetic in the duty free store @ Kansai International Airport is much smaller, but they carry an exclusive product which is the facial blotting paper with aloevera. I bought that and also a set of hand lotion (5 in a set?) as souvenir for my friends back in Malaysia (unfortunately I did not jot down the price).
All in all, I am in love with this brand, especially the lip balm!
