Things to buy in Japan ( My TOP selections)

This is my 4th time visiting Japan, and I decided to write a blog on things that are worth buying in Japan. Here are my top selections that include cosmetics and snacks.

1. FLOWFUSHI Mote Mascara 

This is the best mascara ever! I thought the previous brands I've used were good enough until I tried this one. There are different types of mascara which can be distinguished by their colours and each has own function/ effect. 

• Pink Mote Mascara : lengthens your lashes and in Natural Black
• Orange Mote Mascara : Volumising in Deep Black
• Gold Mote Mascara : treats and repairs lashes in Brown
• Sky Blue Mote Mascara : has a comb wand and is in Dark Black
• Navy Blue Mote Mascara : holds curls in place all day long in Navy Blue.

All of these formulas contain lash repair essence and fibres, and are easy to remove with warm water. It is not removable by oil cleanser, so I guess that's why it never smudged. It hardly has clot, so it results in very neat, pigmented and long lashes. I've tried their eyeliner as well, but I did not like it.

Price: Approximately 2300 Yen

2. Shiseido Eyelash Curler

It opens wide ( good for people with wider eyes), does not pinch the upper lid, and less pressure is required for a good effect.

Price: 657 Yen

3. KOSE Clear Turn Badyish Moisture Mask

This is the No.1 Selling Mask in Japan for 9 years .There are 3 types in total:

• White - Whitening 
• Pink - Moisturising 
• Yellow - plumping 

It fits well on face as it is made from high density woven cotton. It claims that it is fragrance and alcohol free, well, I definitely smell something strong from the mask. But I did not get any skin irritation from that ( I have sensitive skin).

Price: 7-sheet mask : 300 Yen

4. LuLuLun Mask

LuLuLun is another top seller that I would recommend. There are 2 lines available - LuLuLun and the newer LuLuLun Precious which focus more on Anti-aging. 

Types for LuLuLun:

• White- Whitening
• Pink- Basic/ Balance Moisture
• Blue- Moisturising

LuLuLun Precious:

• Pink - Targets fine lines and moisturising
• Gold - Whitening/ even skin tone
• Green - Contains the most expensive oil among them, targeting youthful skin

Price: 300 Yen

5. Potato Farm Jaga Pokkuru

It is made 100% from Hokkaido potatoes. There are 10 small packets per box, and taste exactly like real French fries except for the crispy texture. I'm lovin it!

Price: around 1000 Yen

6. Royce' Nama chocolate

Royce' chocolate is the most renowned chocolate in Japan and yup, I can see why. It's a Bomb! The packaging itself (interiorly) is already unique, and the taste is just sooo yummy!

Go and buy already!

Price: 660 Yen
