The present this month came with a leather pouch from EMODA.

Its quite small. About the size of a smartphone.
Next up, DECOLOG 01 2013 issue

The lovely Miss Koda Kumi is on the cover.
Its not a magazine i tend to buy,i only picked this up as i needed something to read whilst i was on the plane to Sapporo. XD
It has a lot of snapshots of fashion [street fashion] so i didnt bother to take any photos for the blog >_<
It comes with a MURUA bag and mirror

Here is the pic in the magazine on these items

If you bought this issue in certain bookstores [i bought mine in Shinseido] , you get an extra gift

You get a tote bag as below [About A5 size]

And a sampler pack of DECOLOG false eyelashes

3 different types to try!
Have a super weekend!

I like cosme rankings…! Wow daiso’s lip gloss is ranked number 3…

Hi Yumeko-san, I will be going to Narita & Tokyo Japan this coming January and stay till early April. Can you please advise me what type of winter wears do I need to get? For example, trenchcoat type? Then do I need to get gloves and knit cap? Thanks for answering the qns and sorry for asking you so many qns – your sincere reader frm Singapore
PS. This is my first time going to Japan and also to a 4 seasons country. =)
Hi Monica
everyone reacts to cold differently so i really cant tell you what you will need
However i can tell you that it will be an average of 3 to 5 degrees [its colder in january than december and February is coldest in japan]
personally i dont think a trenchcoat is enough
its about 7 to 10 degrees here now and i think everyone is already wearing puffy coats or wool coats and wearing scarves, gloves and beanies.
hope this helps!
