Canmake Japanese Cosmetics

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

Canmake Cosmetics is a Japanese makeup brand that specializes in cute sparkly colors and fun makeup. They remind me quite a bit of Etude House, which is a Korean company that produces rather nice products at a very reasonable price.

A few of my favorites in the Canmake Cosmetics line are the sparkly nail polishes in bright colors, such as light blue, the cream cheek colors, the Canmake eyeshadow kits and the really cute Canmake makeup bag in pink.  They also make an interesting fragrance wax.

You can buy Canmake from the US or other countries outside of Japan through YesStyle.com, which is an online retailer focusing on Asian fashion, beauty products, handbags, shoes and accessories. I love them for finding unique items and interesting handbags, and their international shipping if affordable and pretty quick.

Fiberwig, The Best Tubing Mascara

Monday, October 4th, 2010

P269503_hero If you like tubing mascaras such as Blinc Kiss Me or Kevyn Aucoin Mascara (links are to previous reviews) you owe it to yourself to try d.j.v. beautenizer Fiberwig Mascara. Fiberwig is a Japanese mascara that is just now available in the United States through Sephora. However, I first came across it by ordering it from COSME-DE, a company that carries a good number of harder to find Asian cosmetics. Fiberwig is one of the best selling mascaras in Japan if not the absolute top seller (I have seen claims that it is).

Fiberwig is essentially a tubing mascara, which means that it forms “tubes” around your lashes with fibers, which tends to last well without smudging or flaking,  However, I find that some tubing mascaras have a tendency to clump easily, while others never quite looked right for me. That was not the case for me with Fiberwig. The mascara seems ever so slightly thinner to me than other brands, which allows it to apply well without clumping. Yet, it is not so thin that it is hard to get length or volume.   It dries very quickly and I find that, with one coat, the lashes have a nice natural look and, with two coats, they can take on some more dramatic length and fullness. The mascara wears very well for me all day without a flake in sight.

The Fiberwig mascara that I ordered has a slightly curved brush, which also actually did add some curl to the lashes. So, that was a bonus.

Overall, this is a nice mascara and is the best tubing mascara in my opinion. You can find it at Sephora.
