Get Your Hands On These Japanese Goodies You Didn't Know You Could Get At Welcia BHG

One of Japan’s top drugstore has finally opened a branch right here in Singapore at Bugis! With all these brands and shops coming to Singapore, it’s a wonder that we still feel the urge to travel to other countries anymore. With Welcia taking up a permanent spot at BHG in Bugs Junction, you can now get Japanese products straight from Japan without having to result to dodgy online sites or waiting forever for Airfrov.

If you think that just because Welcia are importing Japanese products we love, it doesn’t mean that their prices are miles high. Tadahisa Matsumoto, the managing director of Welcia, has promised that the prices you find at Welcia BHG will at most be 20% more expensive than the Japanese price. Take the slight difference in price as a shipping and tax fee that you’ll have to pay anyway if you chose to ship those products to Singapore.

The place might look like your typical drugstore, but they have over 9,000 products stocked on their shelves, with over 1,000 exclusive skincare and beauty Japanese products. Some brands like Suisai by Kanebo and Nature and Co. are now available! You can spend hours just browsing because there is just so much to see. Besides all your usual drugstore brands like Dollywink and Kate Tokyo, there’s a whole loads of hidden goodies lining the aisles. Just from a quick tour around the place, here are some of the products that caught our eyes. Imagine what else we could have discovered if we actually took our time browsing.

1. Hello Kitty BB Air Cushion

You can now get this adorable Hello Kitty BB Air Cushion, the ultimate symbol of Japan pop culture, in Singapore! There are also powders with other Sanrio characters if you want to collect the whole family.

2. Gudetama Sunscreen

Protect yourself against the sun even though it kind of goes against the epitome of Gudetama’s lazy character.

3. Character face masks from Korea

A cute idea for a staycay with your gal pals! They’ve also got a whole range of other animals to choose from.

4. Suisai Beauty Clear Powder

Probably Suisai’s best-selling product. The enzyme powder cleanser is loved by both locals and tourists because of its convenience. Packaged into one-time use containers, the cleanser is water activated and claims to cleanse and exfoliate your face. Just pop a couple of capsules into your bag and you’re all set for that quick getaway trip!

5. Natural And Co.Clay Wash

Another brand under the Kose family, Natural & Co. is famous for its botanical range of organic skincare which includes ingredients like baobab oil, coconut oil and fruit extracts. Their skincare includes cleansing creams, cleansing oils, clay wash and lotions.

There is a whole aisle dedicated to protein and diet cleanse powders which instantly made us feel like going on diet cleanses. There are also powders with superfoods and the age-old remedy of charcoal. Of course we had to pick up this match cleanse because #matchaislife.

7. Sailor Moon Eyeliner

Feel magical whenever you wing your eyeliner! The Japan Welcia stores also carries an adorable Sailor Moon lip balm compact, so here’s hoping that they will bring that to Singapore soon.
