Japanese make up and beauty bits haul ♡



Sailor Moon Liquid Eyeliner // Maybelline Water Shiny Milky Lipstick in Natural Tart // Revlon Colourstay Concealer // MAC Blot Powder in Medium // Bobbi Brown Colour Corrector // Maybelline The Magnum Volum' Express Mascara // Lip or nipple tint pack

A small collection of bits and bobs I've acquired recently! After I bought the MAC powder I vowed to never buy MAC again in person in Japan for how long I was forced to wait, about 10 minutes to simply pay for an item, not get it colour matched or anything, grrr! I also had to pick up the Revlon concealer because for some reason MAC Japan do not carry the shade NW15, I'm going to review the Sailor Moon eyeliner soon, it's seriously good and the brush is incredibly fine so my eyeliner has been more on point (literally) since I started using it. I literally bought the Maybelline lipstick for the packaging, judging from the name 'Water Shiny Milky' I'm guessing this is from the Maybelline Japan line (quite common to have a lot of English cute-sounding buzzwords for a make up item). 

The lipstick is a pretty natural colour (it's called natural tart, basically what I aim to be in life), but the packaging is sheer pink holographic goodness. I'm not 100% sure what the lip pack is (need to translate properly), I think it's a lip tint mask but it has dual functions - you can also use it on your NIPPLES. My friend told me these packs are used to tint the nipple pinker, because there's a belief in Japan if your nipples are dark it means you're having a lot of sex (yay for internalised slut-shaming). I will definitely try these for bants and look forward to some shiny pink non-slutty nips. xx

  1. Hahahaha those nipple tints... oh Japan! Let us know how you get on with those, we definitley don't want to be thought of as having lots of sex now do we? God forbid.

    Great haul, there is something so much more exciting about Asian cosmetics, even though the brands are pretty much the same!

  6. It just makes me sad really! And I was a bit disappointed because I was hoping for fluorescent pink nipples but it did nothing :/ I know what you mean, even though they have Revlon, Maybelline etc out here they carry different Japan only items you can't get in the UK so it's pretty exciting ^^ xx
