Japan Haul

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Duo Set (¥1900)

Saw this at the duty-free at Narita Airport, so I got it. They sold an individual one for ¥1000, so I might as well buy the duo set and save ¥100. It comes out to roughly $12 for one. Good buy! When you open it, each comes in an individual box too.

Rohto Lycee Eyedrops(8mL) (¥498)

Heard a lot about this and decided to get it to give it a try. It's for inflammation of the eyes that causes redness. I tried it the other night and it was pretty good. My first reaction was literally, "Is it suppose to sting like this?" But then it started to have a cool sensation, which is one of the desired effects. It's like mint for your eyes. The solution is pink, but don't let that scare you. 

Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF 50+ PA++ (¥598)

I first tried this product a few years ago when my sister brought one back from Japan. I have been hooked ever since. The formula is, like the product says, milky. It's not sticky at all and it goes on so smoothly. I love it.

Forever 21 and Daiso False Lashes (¥180 & ¥105)

They sell falsies at Forever 21 in the US, but they don't have a lot to choose from. At this Forever 21 in Shibuya, they had a whole wall of false lashes and many to choose from. I don't usually wear fake lashes. I usually only wear them on nice occasions where it calls to be dressed up. False lashes are HUGE in Japan. A lot of the younger generations of Japanese girls are wearing them and they sell them everywhere! The quality of the lashes are not bad at all. They are synthetic hairs, which I prefer over real human hair. I just can't seem to handle the fact of putting other people's hair anywhere near my eyes. (>_<") Daiso is actually a ¥100 store in Japan (aka a dollar store). They had a large selection to choose from as well (pretty sure there were at least 13 styles). They have cross-type, straight-type, natural types, as well as dramatic types. They are synthetic as well. You can purchase them separately like I did, or you can get an entire box of 10 pairs for ¥1050. I picked up some pretty dramatic ones (for me, they are dramatic). As you can see, I picked up No. 1 and No.4. I also really liked No. 3, but they did not have them anymore when I went back to the store a few days later! I guess it was a popular one. The set in the green box was a free gift from taking sticker pictures.

Shiseido Perfect Oil and Perfect Whip

Got these two on sale! Haven't tried the cleansing oil yet. I like the Perfect Whip cleanser because it leaves my skin feeling soft. (I have dry skin.) The first time I used it, I used a pea-sized amount and to my surprise, it foamed up so much! When using this product, you only need a little dab of it. Use it as you would any cleanser. 

Rimmel London Pure Natural Powder Foundation in OC1 (¥1400)

This is Rimmel's newest product in Japan. It first caught my eye because I saw the display of a baby and I got curious. So I went to try the tester and I was so surprised as to how soft this foundation is. On the box, it says it's mineral clay and made with rosemary, marigold, and olive. It is also SPF 25. In Japan, they don't have a lot of different shades in foundations, but this is the lightest shade. It's a little too yellow for me, but it blends well and is super soft (like a baby's bum)! They sold the compact for this separately, for around 600yen, but I didn't get it.

Canmake Products

This is my first time getting Canmake products. I have heard great things about this brand. Going clockwise starting from the top, I got 2 Melty Nude Lipsticks in 04 Peach Beige and 03 Baby Pink, Four Shiny Eyes palette in 05 Bitter Coffee , Cream Cheek in 05 Sweet Apricot and 08 Marshmallow Pink, Powder Cheek in PW23 Peach Pink, Gradation Wink in 02 Chocolate Millefeuille, and ShimmerJelly Eyes in 04 Frozen Melon. At first look, I didn't like any of the eyeshadows because I thought they were too shimmery and glittery (most of the eyeshadows in Japan are all shimmery and glittery--literally could not find any matte ones at all). I like shimmery, but the ones in Japan were more glittery than shimmery. The ones I purchased were the ones that were not so bad. The cream eyeshadow works well and is very blendable. The lippies are really creamy and they are the perfect nude colors! 

04 Peach Beige

03 Baby Pink

Top: Peach Beige, Bottom: Baby Pink

Shiseido Majolica Majorca

Got 2 Lash Expanders because I heard very very good reviews on them. Their palettes did not attract me at all. They were too shimmery and I did not like the color combos much. I just got 2 individual shadows in WT920 and BR784. WH920 is a shimmery white color with a little peach undertone. BR784 is a brown color with gold shimmer. 

K-Palette 24hr Eyeliner/ 1 Day Tattoo 

This is a liquid pen eyeliner and I bought it because it was supposedly the number 1 eyeliner in Japan. This one I got came with free eyelashes. So I experimented with it on my hand. I drew a line on the back of my hand and I just let it be. Through all the hand washings and showers, this eyeliner lasted approximately 2 days! I was even trying to scratch it off on day 2. It seriously lasts a long time.

Visee Glam Shade Eyes BR-2

Visee Glam Shade Eyes GY-6

Visee Eyeshadow palettes

These were on sale for a little over 1000yen. They usually cost over 1800yen, so I saw it as a pretty good deal for a palette. BR-2 is a shimmery brown/neutral palette. GY-6 is a neutral, grayish palette. The middle color is actually more taupe-ish than it looks in the picture (in the picture, it looks like silver). Eyeshadow colors were nice, they had a blue palette that I really liked, but I didn't get it because I didn't want to waste money on a palette than I wouldn't use often. =T
