When hearing Can★Do, the majority of Japanese people immediately think of the 100 yen shop with over one-hundred stores all over Tokyo, including busy, bustling districts such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ebisu, Akihabara, and Ueno. From kitchen utensils and living goods to stationery and cosmetics, there’s much to discover at Can★Do.

With this neat product, creating a two-color nail design is as easy as it gets!

1) Coat your nails with the base color of your choice – just a base coat is perfectly fine as well.
2) Peel off the protective layer over the stencil sheet of the Stamp Nail.
3) Apply a coat over the design you want to stamp on your nail.
4) Remove excess polish with the scraper of the “Stamper Set.”

Make your Eyebrow Makeup Stay Spot-On From Morning until Night!

<Eyebrow Coat>
You know the feeling – you just finished your eyebrow makeup, look in the mirror and smirk confidently because it’s just so –spot on! But once you get home from work, the horrors: it is smeared all over the place, turning your prefect brow into a minor disaster. These days are over, though, as Can★Do has got you covered with its own Eyebrow Coat, simply put on after your eyebrow makeup is complete. Just trace your brow lightly from the top with the brush soaked in an appropriate amount of the liquid – that’s it. Say goodbye to smudgy eyebrows! And the best part about Eyebrow Coat: it dries immediately so is the perfect choice for those with a busy morning.

A Nightly Treatment for Tired Eyes!

A Nightly Treatment for Tired Eyes!

<Kuma Non Sheet>
Work, household, childcare – life can get rather stressful, so we do find ourselves exhausted and with a lack of sleep from time to time. That particular stress tends to manifest itself in dark rings under one’s eyes. That is precisely why Can★Do’s Kuma Non Sheet is so immensely popular with the working women of Japan – simply put underneath the eyes before going to bed. This eye sheet mask use of the newly patented i-POINT, reflecting the body’s emitted Far-Infrared rays. This will warm you up and also has a beautifying effect!

How to properly use Kuma Non Sheet? It’s surprisingly easy – just prepare your skin with moisturizing cream or a similar product, then put the sheet directly on the tired eyes. When you slowly peel it off in the morning, you will find both your skin and your mood refreshed and ready to go! Since the sheet masks can be stuck back onto an included peel paper, they can be used until their adhesive strength has deteriorated.

★ Reviews of Kuma Non Sheet ★
“The refreshed feeling when peeling off the eye mask in the morning has become a habit and I keep buying more. It does seem to have a positive effect for my tired eyes.” Journalist, 27
“I feel like the tiredness has vanished and I look forward to looking in the mirror every morning!” Hairdresser, 36
“It doesn’t seem to be worse than what is sold at the drugstore and since it’s reusable, it’s great value for money.” Company Employee, 30

Meetings over drinks and dinner are an inherent part of Japanese business culture, and who doesn’t love grabbing a couple of drinks with friends and colleagues after work?

The Portable Deodorant Spray found at Can★Do is just the thing to combat this particular issue! It doesn’t only rid any kind of fabric of unwanted smells but is also antibacterial – due to its little price, we highly recommend buying a few of these at once and leave them in convenient places, such as close to your sofa, at your workspace, in your car, and in your bag. If you’re prepared like this, you’ll be rid of any nasty odor within minutes!
