So Mum and I both love our cosmetics and after trying out the taste of cho for lunch we had a look around at AKA Cosmetics. They stock a big range of Japanese makeup and skincare products, as well as hair dye. So if you've been wondering "where can you buy Japanese beauty products in Sydney?" then this is one place.
They had a sale on for some of their products and Mum scored some face toner and neck lotion for $10 each and also got me my very first mascara from Japan! Yay! So excited to try it out. Looked like a lot of their non-sale products are a bit expensive compared to buying from sasa or eBay so unless you need it in a hurry I recommend only going there to see what's on sale. I got pulled in by the kawaii packaging of the mascara and couldn't help myself but you guys should be very careful of their prices. I had a brain explosion when I got home and found out the prices online were at least half! 0.o Still.. if I like the mascara I can buy it online next time (unless I see it on sale somewhere in a shop).
Look at the pretty glossy bag! (and that's my dog Minky in the background. Say hi!)
Check out the girly packaging! Love it! Squeeeee! Looking forward to doing a review of this. Looks like the brush has a unique shape to it. And it's apparently waterproof - we'll see how waterproof it is when I test it out... (cause of the way my eyelids close, mascara usually ends up smudging and giving me panda eyes if it isn't waterproof - anyone else feel my pain?)
Quick photo of the back of the packaging - quite a bit of marketing hype (as to be expected). Don't think everyone will "Look like a Brilliant, Sexy Hollywood Star!!" just by using this mascara. According to the English translation on there it gives you volume and length. OK with the waterproof claim, so far that's 3 things to test out.
So who's tried this out? What's good or bad about it? Who's bought stuff from AKA Cosmetics and what did you think of them? Let me know in the comments what you think.
