Three Cosmetics Archives | My Women Stuff

Three Cosmetics isn’t new in the market. But I will confess that it is new to me. There is only so much attention I can pay to the numerous brands available out there, that I often miss many.

But because Three hails from Japan, I sat up and paid a little more attention. I have a bit of an affinity and soft spot for Japanese beauty brands and Japanese beauty products.

Recently, I was presented with a selection of the brand new Three Cosmetics lipsticks in their Spring/Summer 2019 collection. And if there’s one thing that the Japanese can do no wrong for me, it’s in their lipsticks.

I have maintained (and I’m not often wrong) that the Japanese make the best quality lipsticks in the market. They are often underrated and unremarked upon (Western brands push their marketing harder) but if you want a lipstick that is of great quality, head for the Japanese brands.

Their drawback however, is usually in the pigment. Japanese makeup styles favour a sheerer, more glossy lip, because it complements the rest of their face.

But wait till you see these beauties in the Three Daringly Demure and Daringly Distinct lipstick ranges. They will blow you away! 😀

I recently shared with you one of my favourite cleansing balms, which naturally prompted rumblings of dissent over how hard it was to get hold of. I’ve come to be immune to such rumblings LOL! But I was thinking about it and remembered that I had recently sampled the Three Aiming Cleansing Balm, which had also captured my imagination, and which is easier to get hold of locally.

Three is a Japanese brand with an interesting holistic approach. If you are familiar with Japanese brands, you’d know there aren’t many that have this approach. The products in Three are made with botanical extracts using essential oils and have organic origins. To me, it comes across as having an aesthetic and story that feels different, from the normal scientific approach taken by most Japanese cosmetics brands.

I haven’t tried much from Three, so if you have, I’m naturally curious to know what you love about the brand and what I might try next. In my case, I have to say that my interest was piqued by my experience with a sample of the Three Aiming Cleansing Balm.

I only sampled the Three Aiming Cleansing Balm but it wormed its way into my affections as quickly as One, Two and Three!
