Shopping in Japan/Summer essentials updated!




A thought came up to me when I was shopping today. It's a bit different between shopping in Japan and the UK or US. 
I don't have a confident to say this so please take it as a personal thought.
Today I realised at some point that I didn't see sunshine when I was shopping since I was in a building all time.
There are many department store (ish) buildings in JP. Most of the shops are inside so you don't have to go outside.
However, my typical idea of shopping in the UK is at Oxford street. You walk alongside of shops. 
I think it might be just because Japan doesn't have a lot of land. You know even houses are unbelievably tiny. 
What I wanna say here is that Japanese buildings are bit strange and unhealthy because you don't feel and see sunshine. You don't have any access to outside. 
To be honest, I've started to concern about this a lot even at home. My dad likes to rely on aircon and shut windows when it's hot. I often say 'that's not green! There is still some nice breeds out there' I do feel and know how crazily hot nowadays but still we should try to live with natural weather. 
I took some pics hoping to be able to share how shops especially for clothes are like. I do know my photo skill is terrible....




These days I often visit drugstores to have a look at foundations. Again sorry for my poor photo but this is how drugstores look like. This makes me miss Boots more..... I don't know why but JP drugstores are super messy. 
Sooo many letters saying how reasonable and discounted they are.




Anyway I've found what I needed!
Spray sun cream!!!!



If you read my previous post, I wanted to buy something similar with the Nivea sun cream I bought in the UK.
I have no clue which one is better but it was like 2 for around ¥1000 so bought two.

Sun cream comes out like mist. I'm not sure whether I actually apply it or not, but I trust the maker and try to use them. Haha
