What is the store specialized in cosmetics that has the strong points of drug stores and of department stores?

Cosmetics are becoming more and more popular, even as presents, because the Yen became cheaper, they became goods exempted from consumption tax for foreign visitors, etc. Attractive prices are important, of course, but it's natural to think that, in the case of cosmetics, which are directly applied to the face and skin, customers want to buy them after being sure if they are good to their own skin or not.

Therefore, people want to choose cosmetics at specialized stores while being advised in a comfortable environment. However, the cosmetic floors of department stores consist of shops according to brands and they are not suitable for comparing all at once.

In this respect, the one that the editorial department would like to recommend you is "COSMETIC TASHIRO LUMINE Shinjuku". It is the specialized store full of good things, a spacious store with the great variety of the popular brands in Japan where you can ask for advice and you can freely touch and check several products.
