I love fukubukuro. It could possibly be my favourite shopping time of the year, other than that day Easter eggs are 80% off. For those who don’t know, fukubukuro (lucky packs) are where retailers package up goods and sell them for super cheap prices – so you could pay 10,000 yen and end up with 50,000+ worth of merchandise. The catch being, you don’t know what is inside the bag until you purchase it – leading to frenzied scenes out the front of Shibuya 109 and LaForet in Harajuku of people sticking the goods they don’t want in the air, hoping that someone wants to trade.
TokyoFashion.com did a great series of posts this year, so you can see the madness in action.
As I can’t fit the clothes here, I tend to only be interested in accessory and makeup fukubukuro, but they were both a bit lacking this year. A week out of New Year’s, however, I managed to spot the Canmake fukubukuro in Loft – and snapped it up quickly!
For 948 yen, I must say – I’m pretty impressed. It’s basically the perfect starter pack for anyone wanting to try Canmake products. The pack includes:
+ Shimmer Light Base UV clear base in 04
+ Colorful Nails nail polish in 51 Blood Orange
+ Powder Cheeks blush in PW24 Caramel Orange
+ Cheek & Cheek duo blush in 04 Love Blossom
+ Jewelstar Eyes eyeshadow in 05 Mirror Purple
+ Maxi Volume Rouge lipstick in 01 Red Cherry (love this!)
How good is that?! And because it is the season for giving, I wrestled the NYE crowds and picked one up to give away to you guys!
