I'd say I totally agree with these rankings as I do own some of products listed. Wish they could have added hair dyes! haha..

It's weird how innovative these fellas are. If you'd ask me what I'd choose between Japan vs Korean beauty products? I'd definitely go for Japanese ones. So far, Korean is going well and developing good products like FaceShop, Missha etc. But for such huge Japan beauty companies like Shiseido, Kose that have been in the industry for decades! How could I not resist?

Ok I'm talking crap!

However, in terms of skin care I cannot say it's a 100% best unless tried and tested. Individuals aren't the same and have different types of skin. Moreover, Japan is a seasonal country (tend to have winter etc) whereas Brunei is hot, and humid. Hence, I cannot make any good comments about the skincare part.

Don't get me wrong. My whole point (or tip) is to find out their product reviews from other people or some bloggers before deciding to purchase em. On a personal note, I'm planning to get my hands on those products listed above and see how well they go for me.
