Fans can grab a hand cream decorated with their favorite character. Not only are these extremely cute, but they include four moisturizing ingredients perfect for keeping skin soft.

The new hand creams have a refreshing and clean scent, containing moisturizing Vaseline, shea butter, ceramide, and argan oil to prevent dry skin during any season.

The package designs feature a new retro theme, with the concept of “New Styley Collection.” Each image blends nostalgia with a fun pop of color. Which character would you like to see each time you want to moisturize? 

The latest live-action series from Marvel Studios, Moon Knight, premiered on March 30, and is airing every Wednesday at 16:00 on the Disney+ streaming service. The main character, portrayed by Oscar Isaac, is one of the darkest and most mysterious heroes in the history of the MCU, suffering from dissociative identity disorder. Tokyo Ghoul creator Sui Ishida decided to surprise fans by releasing a crossover image to celebrate the start of the series and highlight the similarities between the two main characters, Moon Knight and Ken Kaneki.

The tagline of the illustration translates to “Clad in white madness,” and shows Kaneki with his pale white hair and a red background beside Moon Knight in pure white with a dark black background.

Moon Knight protagonist Steven Grant is a kindhearted man who works in the gift store of the National Museum in London. He constantly suffers from blackouts and only remembers terrifying snippets of a former life. Eventually, he becomes the avatar for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. 

Tokyo Ghoul has become one of the most popular manga series in Japan, with over 47 million copies in print as of January 2021. The series takes place in an alternate reality where ghouls, creatures who seem like humans but feed on human flesh, live among the general population in secret. After the main character Ken Kaneki receives an organ transplant from a ghoul, he becomes half-ghoul himself and must learn how to survive. Ishida highlighted the similarities between Moon Knight‘s Steven and Tokyo Ghoul‘s Ken, saying that they both have a lot of knowledge of what they’re interested in and have their own dreams, but feel hopeless. Both are also mild-mannered, introverted, and invested in not becoming complete monsters.

Ishida commented that Moon Knight might be his favorite Marvel superhero of all time. The manga artist praised the new show’s fast-paced action, the gray morality in its violence, and the comical sadness of its protagonist. “I saw Oscar Isaac in Star Wars, and I’m wondering what kind of hero he’ll become in Moon Knight,” Ishida said. “I’m really looking forward to it!”

Are you tuning into Moon Knight on Disney+? Tokyo Ghoul fans might want to give it a shot!

The Lovisia Pokémon Gift Cosmetics Series, which has sold a total of more than 1.4 million units, launched a new product, Pokémon Hand Cream and now available for sale at the Lovisia Online Shop, some of the Pokémon Centers, and variety stores nationwide.

The new “Pokémon Hand Cream” features the largest-ever number of 30 Pokémon in a variety of designs with four types of moisturizing ingredients that make it perfect for the coming season.

The Pokémon hand creams have been introduced as Pokémon gift cosmetics since 2018, with a maximum of six different Pokémon each year, but there were many requests for other Pokémon hand creams, so for the 2021 edition, 30 different Pokémon hand creams were produced. The lineup includes Pikachu and Kabigon, which have been part of the series for a long time, as well as new Pokémon that are appearing in the series for the first time, making it a perfect gift for yourself or your friends.

The colors have been reformulated from the previous trend-conscious design colors. The background colors are designed to represent each Pokémon’s type.

The Pokémon hand cream is formulated with Vaseline, shea butter, ceramide, and argan oil. The hand cream has a refreshing soap scent and is smooth to use, yet moisturizing. It can be used to care for areas of concern and fingertips to prevent rough and dry skin due to the increased number of hand washing and sanitizing. It will surely help you take care of your hands and fingers while enjoying Pokémon with children!

To celebrate the release of the product, those who purchase more than three can get a special Pokémon Multi Pouch designed by Lovisia while supplies last. Specially designed pouches of Pikachu and Pocchama are perfect for your cosmetic and small items.

Pokémon cosmetics are the must-have hand cream for the coming season!

A powerful skincare collection is coming in January 2022 from cosmetic brand SHIRO. The Oil Collection will feature eight unique products with the company claiming that the life force of the Earth itself is put into each and every drop. 

Items in the collection utilize rich plant extracts and other healthy materials and offer something for each and every skin type. Depending on a user’s skin and the amount of water used, the oils may react differently. People’s skin changes as time goes on due to stress and things like temperature, and these may help reduce some of that damage. 

The eight oils come in three categories: FACE, FACE & BODY, and BODY. Choose the one that best suits your skin condition and daily needs!

FACE OIL

Calendula Oil

Tamanu Oil

St. John’s-wort Oil

Kalahari Melon Oil

These four oils each utilize a specific extraction method and essential oil depending on the plant used. With different textures and fragrances, they can be helpful for achieving the best possible skin. You can’t go wrong with this lineup, whether you’re new to beauty oil or are a regular user. 

FACE&BODY OIL

Japanese Mugwort Oil

Flax Oil

This is the first time SHIRO has released two types of oils that can be used on both the face and the body. Sold in a generous size, these are perfect for daily skin care and body massage. 

BODY OIL

Castor Oil

Arnica Oil

These two body oils soften and moisturize skin while giving off incredible fragrances tinged with essential oils. 

Over the past few years, Marvel movies have absolutely shattered box office records. The story of the Avengers is now continuing in an entirely new way, as Marvel’s Eternals recently released in theaters around the world. Telling the story of a race of immortal beings, the film was directed by Chloe Zhao, the first Asian-American woman to win an Academy Award for Best Director for her film Nomadland.

While there has been no shortage of promotion for the film, the way Japan is highlighting the film is a little different. Recently, Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night was released, and fans of the popular anime series have been singing its praises across social media. The franchise has sold incredibly well around the world, with multiple anime series, video games, and comics selling over 26 million copies globally. The first film, released in 2017, grossed more than 2.5 billion yen at the box office. 

Eternals tells the origin story hinted at in the Avengers films, while Aria of a Starless Night tells the origin story of Sword Art Online. They both tell stories of unbreakable friendship, and both feature characters attempting to stop evil and save the world. Now, the two have come together for an unforgettable collaboration. 

The creator of Sword Art Online, Reiki Kawahara, is a huge fan of Marvel and was more than happy to make this collab a reality. A collaborative trailer has just been released, along with a side-by-side poster. 

Collaborative Trailer

The narrators in the trailer are Ayumi Tsunematsu, who plays Cerci in the Japanese version of Eternals, as well as Haruka Tomatsu, the voice of Asuna in Sword Art Online.

The event took a year to organize, but has become something even more powerful than the regular Yuzu series.

The cosmetics store staff and cafe staff joined together into one team to create the projects, which has the theme of “Yuzu at Yojiya ~ Enjoy Beauty and Food!~.” Not only can you find limited edition products at the fair, you can also partake in the various campaigns that Yojiya has announced in order to spread the Yuzu love, so be sure to check them out.

Japanese cosmetic company Shiseido, sold in 88 countries around the world, has released a new conceptual video for its global “POWER IS YOU” campaign.

The short video features a star-studded cast of ambassadors from a variety of fields, including Megan Rapinoe, co-captain of the U.S. women’s national soccer team, known for her advocacy and creative style that defies stereotypes. The athlete has commented on her inclusion in the “POWER IS YOU” campaign, proud to show her authentic self and inspire others to live their truth.

Comment from Megan Rapinoe

“Shiseido makes so many of the products I use in my daily life, so when I was invited to collaborate on this new campaign, I didn’t even have to think about it. Partnering with such a great company means a lot to me. I deeply believe in the individual power of every human being, and I think that anyone has the power to change the world. “POWER IS YOU” represents the power each of us has to alter the world for the better, which is something that resonates with me personally. I want young people especially to know that it is possible to change things. I hope they do, and I hope that this campaign helps to inspire more people to feel the same.”

The song used for the campaign is Utada Hikaru’s Find Love. The singer also appears in the video as an ambassador.

It takes courage to know yourself, but being honest with yourself is the key to finding that inner beauty. Courage is beautiful.”

Comment from Ursula Corbero

“Inner beauty comes from positivity.
Tap into your individual energy, and if there’s something you want to do, do it!
It’s okay to make mistakes. Life is not perfect, and those imperfections make it beautiful.”
