My Japanese sisters know what's up when it comes to beauty. I mean, have you ever noticed a Japanese woman's skin? Flawless, glowing, gorgeous.
The Japanese beauty market is saturated with all kinds of products -- from "secret" drugstore buys to the bizarre and down-right terrifying. Nose straighteners, breast rollers and face-slimming mouthpieces aside, here are four Japanese beauty products you'll always find in my medicine cabinet:
majolica majorca lash expander mascara
I do not leave home without wearing this. |
the cure natural aqua gel
A facial in a bottle. |
shiseido pureness oil blotting papers
This is in my purse at all times. |
biore deep cleansing pore strips
Horrifying, yet strangely satisfying, when you see the results. |
