Rose Foam Beauty Whip!
I scoured the drugstores at obscure Tokyo subway stops so you don’t have to. This face wash disappears off the shelves as fast as it’s put out, because who WOULDN’T want to wash their face ten times a day when the foam comes out shaped like a rose? (Hey, I know you made extra-long blue poops with your Play Doh Fun Factory too ADMIT IT)
This is what Evita Beauty Whip Soap looks like on the shelf, if you’re lucky enough to find some. It’s sold in the Kanebo section of ordinary shopping street drugstores, not in fancy depaato. It also smells like a rose (some might say it rather AGGRESSIVELY smells like a rose), just to warn you

“A genuinely gripping crime thriller which wrong-foots and perplexes the reader throughout, drawing us in emotionally . . . Highly recommended.” –Raven Crime Reads*

I love the Rose foam. Not in US?

Sadly, no. It really is an “only in Japan” thing. If I find that the frenzy has died down when I’m in Japan this spring, I’ll bring you one!

Must try even though I’m not a fan of rose scent. I’ll ask a friend to send me some after the craze is over I couldn’t get the matcha lip cream last time because it was sold out in one single morning all over Kyoto ^^

So typical of these things that are reported by RocketNews & such (><;;) They sell out instantly, except in odd neighborhoods outside Tokyo!

So typical of the Japanese of buying the same thing at the same time whatever the cost too ^^

Honestly, I’m kind of disappointed it isn’t edible. 😐

Does it clean well? The rose is so pretty. I can see why it’s so popular!

To be honest, it’s a bit like washing your face with rose-scented shaving cream. Which isn’t bad, just…a bit odd.

Oh dear…I imagine it leaving a waxy feeling then…

Actually, it’s not waxy, but the foam was really thick and creamy like shaving cream – I’m used to face washes being a thinner foam, so it was a bit disconcerting!
