Muji skin care is underrated. This oil cleanser is affordable and is really good. Does not leave your skin greasy but yet moisturizes.

This is one of the best cleansing balm that I would say most Japanese girls know about and use. They have so many different types according to your skin needs. The black one gets rid of black heads beautifully.

This toner is also really good for dry skin. There are different level of thickness according to your skin type and it uses soy milk as an ingredient. My face looks so clear with this one.

Their eyecream is SO GOOD. When I wake up, my eyelids are so much softer and if you put it on your aegyosal, they will be plumper and softer

This is a non-color lip essense that work on the most damaged lips. It is a night time lip mask, and it is VERY thick and sticky, so i would not wear it during the day. However, at night time it works like a charm

This powder was one of the trendiest things in the Japanese makeup community, and I think it's 100% worth the hype. It leaves your skin looking like soft marshmallow just like the product name

This is lip plumper works the best out of all I know ! It creates a thin layer on your lips to contain the moisture. It also contains ingredients that heals your lips as well. The packaging is super cute and I think it is worth the hype !

This cream liner is so creamy like it says, yet it allows you to be precise. You can use it on your aegyosal as a shadow as well, and it is very versatile !

This eyeshadow pallet from canmake has all the colors and shimmers you need in one, and there isnt a single color that you dont need. The packaging is also super cute and the eyeshadow stays in place all day. It's my favorite ;)

This can make cream cheek melts onto your skin and it is a dupe for the rare beauty cream blush in my opinion. Perfect if you want a natural flush !

Canmake does every category of makeup so well, and mascara is one of them. The wand  allows you to be precise, and works so well on asian eyes since it is an asian brand. Keeps your eyelashes up all day long !

This shade of sezanne highlight powder is SO popular in Japan that every single one of my friends carry it in their purse, and it is obviously worth the hype. With any makeup, with just one swipe of brush you have such glowy skin without looking over...

For powder blush girlies, I recommend this one ! It sits on your cheeks all day and the color shows up well unlike some powder blushes ! Anything from cezanne there's no miss imo.

This one color eyeshadow is really good. It has sparkling shimmer like champagne but it does't over do. I just tap my finger and tap in onto my upper eyelid and my eye makeup is done !

I know this one is viral in America too, but what makes it special is the longevity, volume and the curl keeping power coming all in one. I literally swam for 2 hours in practice and they do not budge.

I know it is a funny name but lip monster is one of the most popular drug store lips in Japan. I wonder why it hasn't made it to the western world yet. I like the pink banana shade personally, and what makes this special is how long it lasts. One swi...

I know there are so many eye liner brands in Japan but this is my personal favorite (for liquid liner) It is so precise and it does not smudge or move a single mm throughout the day. And of course it's waterproof !!

This eyebrow mascara is one of my favorites, as the brush is very small, so it allows you to be very precise. Just like other eyebrow mascaras, it dries quickly so it doesnt get all over the place and stays on for the whole day and keeps your brows i...

I know this was viral in the states too, but this is genuinly such a good hair mask. It repaired my chlorine bleached hair and leaves it so silky smooth ! I recommend using it maybe once a week though, since it's pretty heavy. Also, it's better if yo...

I cannot go back to any other hairbrushes after using this one. It gently detangles your hair and leaves your hair so silky smooth like just after you had a nice treatment. Not to mention it looks super cute as well.

This one is a little but pricy, but it is definitely worth the money. This curling iron minimizes the heat damage on your hair and makes your hair shiny and smooth after using it on top of the curle.
