Mac eyeshadow in Japan?


Travel Info
Hi!
Does anyone know where I can buy MAC eyeshadow here in Japan? IE: What store?

I've tried looking online but no one can ship it to my APO address. If need be, I can get it shipped to my parent's in the States but I would prefer not to have to do that.

Thanks.

I'll award the 10 points in a few days!

Travel Tips
Most Japanese shops usually send products to Japanese formatted address only (address in Japan).
Because all the products will be shipped out by under control of computers, bar-code or QR code, and
automated logistic systems. ZIP code and your address has to be Japanese format.
They do not pack by hands.
That is why we Japanese can receive ordered products within only a few days. It's very efficient.
They usually refuse sending goods with writting overseas address on the label by hand.

I am not sure the format of the APO addres. But I am hearing some ppl are receiving postal mail with the address like below.

Your name
XXXX base (your base)
address and JP zipcode (this is NOT APO address but base's)
phone number in Japan

your APO address

note:
You need to let Japanese mail-man know the address of your base.
And they can not enter the base, but someone from the base come to the postal home office periodically to pick up mail and parcel.
If the post office confirmed the person exactely exist in the base, they pass the mails/parcels.
And the base will ship the mails/parcels to your APO address.

This is FYI. This information is from the net, I have never tried this. Please remember.

I've posted the link in case you're not in Tokyo.

You might want to call them first before going because some shades which are popular in the US are not as popular in Asia and as such not carried by smaller stores.
