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.
How long does delivery take?
These estimates are for International Airmail (Tracked) and include 3 to 5 business days of processing in Japan.

- Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany: 9 to 12 business days

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.
Even if you apply it multiple times, it doesn't clump and creates a long, elegant curl. I often use eye drops, but this one doesn't smudge, which is great. I'm thinking about buying the brown version if it keeps the curl well after using it for a while.
This is my most trusted curl-keeping mascara. I've tried the black and brown versions, and this is my third repurchase. Not only does it prevent clumping and lengthen my lashes beautifully, but I think its curl retention is unmatched. Lash Burst also gives volume, but when I wear a hat or something and my bangs get in the way for a long time, my lashes tend to droop. This mascara keeps my lashes curled well into the evening, and there's no smudging, so I feel like I can spend the day worry-free. I'd definitely buy it again.

I love this mascara. The volume and length are natural, but it really does give your eyes power, and I love that it doesn't make your lashes droop even though it's not too stiff. It comes off easily with regular cream cleanser, too. It's a mascara I'll definitely want to buy again.
