Do you offer express shipping?
Yes. As of 22 July 2026, we offer International Express Mail through Japan Post. The cost is based on order weight and is calculated automatically at checkout.
Will I pay customs or import fees?
US orders: No. As of July 1, 2026, all US orders ship DDP (duties delivered prepaid), meaning we prepay all import duties on our end. Nothing is due at your door.
Orders outside the US: Possibly. Duties and import taxes are set by your local customs authority and are not collected at checkout, so any charges on delivery are your responsibility.
We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
This is really good....But maybe it's because I use IPSA liquid foundation? I've never used this sponge with foundation from another brand, so I don't know... With this, I can apply foundation evenly and seamlessly to my skin, just the way I want it. When I use anything else, the foundation either applies too thickly or not at all, and it ends up being mixed together on the same face, resulting in...uneven application...! This has happened with disposable sponges or sponges from other brands. It's comfortable to use. At least, this is my only choice while I'm using IPSA foundation.
If you're buying IPSA liquid foundation, I highly recommend this set! When I used a brush, I struggled with leaving brush marks and it would get stuck in my pores, but since I started using this puff, things have changed dramatically. It's thin and evenly covers uneven skin tone and pores without crumbling, and it doesn't get stuck in my pores at all. If you use both sides, you only need to wash it every 4-6 days, so it's easier to maintain than a brush.
I bought IPSA foundation and for a while I was using the Rosy Rosa sponge I had, but it didn't blend into my pores, so I bought this sponge that was recommended. It was completely different when I used it. It blended into my pores, and gave me a natural finish without a thick layer. The sponge is thin and flimsy, so I was a bit worried about the price of 990 yen, but I feel like IPSA foundation only really shines when you use it. I wish I had bought it sooner.
