J-Beauty fans can rejoice, now that Amazon has free shipping for Amazon Japan items with Prime.
I've done some work comparing prices and here are a selection of items that are around RRP in Japan. Note that pricing on items for Amazon Japan seems a bit erratic, some items are similar to the RRP in Japan but some are almost double. Even the same make-up product can have different pricing for different shades.
Current exchange rate is about 100.00 JPY = 1.07 AUD
