2 Japanese Beauty Products, Official Souvenirs of the G7 2016 Ise-Shima Summit

On May 26, G7 leaders visited to Ise Jingu for G7 2016 Ise-Shima Summit in Mie Prefecture (三重県), Japan. Because Souvenir, which is called omiyage (お土産) in Japanese, is one of essential parts of Japanese cultures, Japanese government announced official souvenirs for the G7 Ise-Shima Summit. The G7 leaders and the members of foreign media will receive over a dozen products as Japanese souvenirs. Surprisingly, some of Japanese beauty products were chosen as its official souvenirs! :) I'm going to share two Japanese beauty products designated as official souvenir of the G7 Ise-Shima Summit with you. :)

1. Kabuki Face Pack by Isshinndou Honpo

As I mentioned in my previous entry, unique face mask sheets have been very popular in Japan these days. This Kabuki Face Pack by Isshindou Honpo was chosen as official souvenir of the G7 Ise-Shima Summit. Kabuki is a unique Japanese theater form with 400 years of history. When you put this mask on your face, you look like a kabuki actor! It also moisturizes your skin well. :)
