Book now at Imperial in Portland, explore menu, see photos and read 1863 reviews Service was impeccable. Twas the Night before Christmas, and at the North Pole, Santas sleigh was packed tight, reindeer ready to go. When out in the snow, there arose such a clatter. I like to think of it like a Japanese Yelp but for beauty products. The haul below is probably what a lot of first timers in Japan would also buy so check out to see if anything interests you You can find most of these in the Matsumoto Kyoshi, Don Quiote, Loft in Shibuya, and Ainz Tuple. Cherry Wink Cookies' title='Cherry Wink Cookies' />I plan to do a must go shopping post in Tokyo too. Click below to see my 5. Damn, I did that much damage. Since 5. 0 items is a lot, I tried to categorize my haul below. Most of these items are shoppable through Amazon with minimal markups Ive linked each product that I could find in each heading these are affiliate links so please purchase through it if you find my information helpful. Yen is pretty close to 1 USD conversion as a loose rule of thumb. If youre shopping as a foreigner with valid passport, there are clearly marked signs that your items are duty free if you buy at least 5,5. Yen around 5. 5 USD worth of items in one transaction. Some pharmacy items that are considered as medicine will not be duty free. Also make sure that the counter youre lining up to pay is for duty free. Eyes. Japanese girls love to make their eyes cute, big and doll like so eyeliners, mascara and fake lashes are overwhelming in Tokyo. There were generally the most recommended eyeliners Ive found online. The only one I decided to hold off on was the Mot eyeliners because I thought I had enough to test for a bit. I didnt pick up any eyeshadows because I just didnt need any but the shadows in Japan are generally more sparkly but the Kate brand that seemed to have a nice blend of mattes, shimmers and satins. My favorites that I use everyday. Isehan Kiss Me Heroine Make Long and Curl Mascara, Super Waterproof. This is maybe THE MOST popular Japanese mascara mentioned online. The original is in a pink tube but its been updated in a sleek black and silver look. Theres a Volume and Curl version but the Long and Curl is most recommended. I love my volume but I decided to go with what millions have recommended. It supposedly gives great separation, keeps the curl, makes lashes long and ultra long lasting. Plus, its at a great price The price on Amazon is only at 1. Yen in Japan Amazon link 1. USD free shipping. Shiseido Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Edge Meister Mascara. Ive been wanting this mascara for a while because of its flat comb design and lash fiber technology. Majolica Majorca is a Shiseido brand so I trust it a little more than I would any other brand. This specific mascara is not a 1 Cosme ranked item but watevs, I wanted it. Ive used it regularly now and it definitely needs 2 3 coats in order to separate and coat lashes thoroughly. Sometimes the fibers can get a little wonky and not stick on straight but you can fix it with the wand. Guacamole Without Lime. Youll start to get spider legs after the third coat so I usually stop there. Its an overall okay mascara. Not going to be a repurchase but I wont cry over the 1,2. Yen about 1. 0. USD it cost me. Amazon link 1. USD free shipping. MSH Love Liner Liquid Eyeliner Rich Black. This liquid eyeliner was on the more expensive side at 1,6. Yen 1. 3. 7. 5 USD but it has the 1 Cosme sticker as well as a 1 Ichiba sticker. I got this in Rich Black and I can vouch that its definitely a RICH BLACK that dries in seconds and does not budge. Its a brush tip not felt tip so its easier drawing lines without that draggy line felt tips sometimes deliver. Bonus, this comes in a pretty metallic pink tube and has a nice weight when you hold it. Amazon link 1. 8. USD free shipping. Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner, Deep Black. This does not have a Cosme 1 sticker but it was recommended by word of mouth a lot and had some decent reviews. This was on the Ainz Tulpe wall of most recommended products so I went for it. Its one of the cheaper liquid eyeliners priced at around 1,2. Yen 1. 0. 2. 5 USD. I have to say that its not the blackest black and comes out a smidge sheer but two coats of it takes care of that. I used an oil cleanser to get rid of the Love Liner and the Dolly Wink off my hand and the Dolly Wink started to melt away faster than the Love Liner. If you want to spend 5 more for a bit more lasting power, the Love Liner is the way to go but the Dolly Wink is fine for everyday makeup and if youre on a budget. Amazon link 1. 3. USD free shipping. K Palette 1 Day Tattoo, Super Black. This was highly recommended on the Internet, on Reddit, You. Tubers and other blogs and it has a 1 sticker from Customer Communications Inc., which seems like another Japanese product review company, for four straight years in a row. In other stores, it also has the 1 Cosme sticker. This is Super Waterproof and Super Black and I can vouch that it is Compared to my Club Clio Kill Black Brush Liner, its blacker and stays on longer after oil cleansing it off. This was maybe the best bang for your buck because its 1,2. Yen 1. 1 USD and beats out the Dolly Wink but its still comparable to the Love Liner. Amazon link 1. 5. USD free shipping. Miche Bloomin False Eyelashes, No. Pure Sweet. Usually when I think of Japanese false lashes, I think of Dolly Wink falsies but this time I decided to forgo these because I saw that Miche Bloomin was a much better deal. It also had the 1 Cosme sticker too For a pack of 8 lashes 4 pairs these give you double the quantity in lashes and are only 1,0. Yen 8. 5. 0 USD. The No. Pure Sweet seems to be the most loved version because it looks most natural while still giving definition to your eyes. When I was ready to buy my beauty products in bulk to qualify for duty free, the No. To mend my heart, I bought cheaper lashes from Ri. Pi 8. 80 Yen and 3. D Diamond Lash 1,4. Yen. The Ri. Pi ones are definitely more plastic looking and with a slightly more obvious band so youre going to get what you pay for. The Diamond Lashes are great because you get 5 pairs and they can look pretty natural depending on which style you pick up. I eventually found more Miche Bloomin lashes in another store Amazon link 1. USD free shipping. DUP Eyelashes Fixer EX Eyelash GlueOf course when you buy fake eyelashes, you need to get eyelash glue Buying eyelash glue from Japan is a no brainer since this country sells a ton of falsies to its consumers. Hands down, this is the most recommended online and backed up by Cosme. Its only 1,0. 00 Yen 8. USD and easy to find in all drugstores. I bought the clear type but there is also a black color too I prefer to buy clear so you can see where the band is sticking on your lash line. Amazon link 1. 1 USD free shipping. Hakuhodo Brushes. I read that SUQQU brushes were THE brushes to buy but once I found the prices were in the hundreds for ONE brush, I was turned off. Another well known brand is Hakuhodo where they hand make all their brushes with quite affordable price points. They were originally a calligraphy brush company and was founded over 3. Their website has not been updated since 2. I only needed a fluffy brush meant to blend out harsh lines so I went with an all goat haired brush because I didnt think spending extra on the blue squirrel hair was worth it for a blending brush.
