About 80,000 words are used in these reviews. We examined the monthly appearance rate of all 80,000 words since 2015, and picked up the words that first appeared in September 2022 and the words that saw a significant increase in the appearance rate.
*Purchased product review: Review when you purchased and used the product yourself, not using a sample.
The pick-up keyword will be the one that captures the “sign” that the number of N is still small. Please note that this is not an overall trend.

Maybelline New York “Maybelline Sky High” and pdc “Pimmel Perfect Long & Curl Mascara N”, two mascara products that are so popular that they are temporarily out of stock, were also talked about in @cosme reviews. “Sky High” is a mascara that promises to achieve a perfectly long finish by stretching and lifting (makeup effect) even the downward eyelashes of Japanese people. Popular hair and makeup artist Hiro Odagiri introduced it on YouTube. This mascara has been a hot topic since it went on sale on September 3rd. Former @cosme employee and beauty TikToker Ari-chan was involved in the development of “Pimmel Perfect Long & Curl Mascara N” with the catchphrase “liar mascara”. It is a popular mascara, and it is highly evaluated for its ability to keep curls at sky high.

Maybelline New York Maybelline SkyHigh
The long-awaited Maybelline Sky High! I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time, but it lifts my eyelashes up… and the keeping power was perfect. very. A solid comb is the best!
Maybelline New York Maybelline SkyHigh
I bought it after watching Hiro Odagiri’s YouTube. Each eyelash is separated and beautiful. Before using this, I used an eyelash comb after applying mascara.
pdc Pimel Perfect Long & Curl Mascara N
I bought it at Mascara@cosme, which is a hot topic on SNS. First of all, I was intrigued by the naming of the liar mascara.
pdc Pimel Perfect Long & Curl Mascara N
The name Usotsuki Mascara is also interesting, but unlike clear mascara, it really makes your eyelashes look a little more natural. The feeling of your own eyelashes is really amazing!

The topic of mascara is also skin care. Like the mascara introduced earlier, there is a demand for mascara that has a high curl-keeping power (because it is highly effective, it is difficult to remove with cleansing alone). Or, it seems that the demand for mascara remover is increasing. In addition to the heroine makeup “Speedy Mascara Remover”, which has become a very popular product such as winning the @cosme Best Cosmetics Award 2021 Best Cleansing 3rd place, Cezanne has newly released “Mascara Remover”, and “Mascara Remover” is likely to become an item that attracts even more attention.

heroine make speedy mascara remover
It removes any kind of mascara properly, and it’s useful because it removes makeup without putting a strain on the eyelashes and eyelids. heroine make speedy mascara remover
A must have for my makeup remover. I love it! With this item, mascara comes off easily and cleanly without rubbing with strong force. cezanne mascara remover
It’s surprising that you can buy a mascara remover at this price. The feeling of use was also good and fell firmly.
cezanne mascara remover
It is used in conjunction with durable curl mascara. Just apply it right before you take a bath and cleanse it off!

Products related to removing pore problems are generally growing, but there is a movement to incorporate tools when washing the face, as the following facial cleanser review says, “It is better to use a cleansing brush.” Facial cleansing brushes have a strong image of being anti-friction, which has been emphasized recently.
Paper towels are another tool for washing your face. It seems that more and more people are wiping their face with a “paper towel” instead of a towel after washing their face, probably because of hygiene, less irritation to the skin, and more comfortable to use. Since it is disposable, there are several people who use it for “cleaning the washbasin after wiping the face and killing two birds with one stone” and “washing the face + cleaning”.

suisai suisai beauty clear powder wash N
Verified Purchase About once every 3 days, I use it on areas where I am concerned about pores when I swirl with a cleansing brush. ReFa ReFa CLEAR
I bought this because I was worried about my pores and wanted to start over from washing my face. I was worried about other cleansing brushes, but after reading reviews, I bought this one.
dior prestige le pinceau
It turns out that the facial cleansing brush fits so well, so I switched to this one with a good reputation. It’s more dry than when I’m not using it, but the pore dirt is definitely gone when I’m using it, so my acne has decreased.

It’s quite expensive among cleansing towels, but while regular cleansing towels look like kitchen paper, this one is soft like a kitchen duster and doesn’t irritate the skin at all.
ITO cleansing towel
The name “disposable towel” is really apt. It’s not as thin as a tissue, and it’s not as hard as you might imagine with the word paper, but it’s reasonably strong and soft against the skin. Above all else, it’s hygienic.
Above all, I’m happy that I was released from the stress of towel fibers sticking to my face.

Considering hygiene, we have changed from towels to disposable towels! [Image 9

3COINS AUS Eyeshadow Palette / 01BEBR
As it was cheap, we purchased. 01BEBR is easy to use with no wasted colors. There is some powder flying, but with 12 colors and a mirror, one coin is the best cost performance. This is enough for commuting makeup.

All products can be purchased for 500 yen (excluding tax)! ! Dense volume mascara without clumps from an all-one coin cosmetic brand. The fibers cling tightly to the eyelashes.

2. @cosme TOKYO mascara/mascara base sales ranking (counting period: 2022/09/20-2022/10/19)
This time there was a lot of mascara topics. Looking at @cosme TOKYO’s sales ranking of mascara and mascara base to see what kind of mascara is actually selling, 7 mascara products and 3 base products ranked in. As for the base, standard and popular products are supported, and for mascara, in addition to the previously introduced “Pimel Perfect Long & Curl Mascara N” and “Sky High,” popular Korean makeup artist “Won Jong-yo” The new mascara released from the end of August to October of the brand “Wonjungyo” that I produce was ranked. Looking at the colors, there was 1 brown color, 5 black colors, and 1 gray color, which is rare as a color. It seems that there is a need to show the eyes clearly in black. Also, even though it’s black, the high-ranking Pimel and Wonjungyo are singing black with a sense of sheerness, and it may be the trend to create a sense of sheer black instead of brown. [Image 13
