Have you been to a pharmacy or drugstore in Japan? It is a fun place to do some shopping as a variety of things are sold in the drugstore, including cosmetics, medicine, and other household goods. Today, I’d like to introduce some cheap cosmetic brands that are worth more than the price in the pharmacy or drugstore in Japan. I found the items in the drugstore called “Cocokara fine” but you may be able to find them in other stores, too.

• Cezanne: This brand sell high-quality, but affordable cosmetics. I personally like the natural cheek & highlight series which have twelve different colors. My favorite is orange pink and it costs only 400 yen. https://www.cezanne.co.jp/en/lineup/cheek/item_002.html

• Integrate: This brand is an affordable line from Shiseido, a famous Japanese cosmetic company. My favorite from this brand is an eyebrow mascara which makes your eyebrow really natural and stylish. It only costs 770 yen! Super cheap for a quality of the product. http://www.shiseido.co.jp/ie/
