Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. Every item is bought from an official seller in Japan, or direct from the brand for pre-orders,
never from resellers or grey market stock. Counterfeits and grey market listings are a real problem in
Asian beauty online, and buying only through official channels is how we rule it out.
What are your shipping rates?
On orders under US$75, shipping is a flat US$20 to the United States and US$10 to all other countries.
Orders of US$75 or more ship free, applied automatically at checkout. Your exact shipping cost is shown before you pay.

We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
It goes on nicely. It does add length, but the volume is a little weak.
It didn't clump and was easy to apply to my lashes!
I received a sample gift from suzykirei! Thank you! Each eyelash looks thicker and longer, and I'm glad it gives volume! I did think that the brush was a little too big for the lower eyelashes, making it difficult to apply.
I received this as a gift from suzykirei, and after using it for a few months, these are my impressions. It seems to prioritize volume over length, and it's not jet black, but a little dull. I don't use many types of mascara, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I think it's good enough for everyday use within the budget range (^_^)♪
I went to a drug store that I don't usually go to, partly for exercise. I found a lot of things I wanted to buy. When I went to pay at the register, I was told, "You can get a 500 yen coupon if you spend about 2000 yen on cosmetics. is there anything else you want to buy?" So I bought this and "Frameless Film Mascara". It was pretty good. When I'm feeling down, I use a natural type of mascara that's gentle on my eyelashes. When I'm feeling good, this type of mascara that makes my lashes look fuller is good. It seems to keep the curl tight, so I don't need to use an eyelash curler. (Maybe my eyelids are drooping? The eyelash curler pinches the flesh of my eyelids, and it hurts a lot. ) Even if I put in eye drops, they don't smudge. Well, I feel like I don't use it often.
