Japanese Cosmetics/Kosume

May 25th, 2009By Fuuka

I recently discovered Japanese cosmetics. I have extremely sensitive skin. I’m one of those rare people that is allergic to SPF. It makes my face break out in big red sores. It’s bad. Thank goodness for dermatologists! Well, I’ve always noticed that Japanese women have almost perfect skin.

  • Small pores
  • Even skin tone
  • Sometimes I can’t even tell if they are wearing make up!

Today is a look at my two favorite Japanese cosmetics.

First off, I recently discovered a brand that has been loved by many other make up bloggers (Musings of a Muse) Kissme Heroine Make. It’s a drug store brand, but you can get it online (Webichi, SASA) or a Japanese market. I do admit, the only reason I really became interested was because of the mascot girl looking like a Rose of Versailles character. I got the volume and curl version. When I went to the store, there were no more! But after looking around the rest of the store I discovered one of those random discarded products! Thank you whoever who decided not to buy!!

I love this mascara. I have been looking for a new mascara since I really liked Maybelline Intense XXL Volume + Length Mascara, but it flaked (not good for contacts) and smudged horribly. This does not at all. I do not have to re-apply and it makes my eyes look bigger and it really does make your lashes naturally curl. Only downside is because it stays no almost too well, it is a little hard to get off. I use Neutrogena’s Oil Free Eye Make Up Remover and it works just fine.
