Packaging of eye patch from Biore (front view)
If steam heated eye masks are not your thing and you prefer something cooler for your eyes, then I think I might just have the right product for you. These individual packaged gel like eye patches from Biore, a large cosmetics company in Japan, offers a great alternative.
Instructions on the back of the eye patch packaging is self explanatory. The picture tells you where to place your eye patches.
I normally put these eye patches under my eyes like shown on the packaging (see picture) after I put on my eye cream at night. Then I sleep with it on for 6-8 hours and I really see a difference in the morning. Somehow the coolness of the eye patches make my eyes look smoother and hydrated in the morning. It maximizes the absorption of my eye cream too.
The top side is felt material and the bottom side is gel material.
It’s a shame that Biore only sells this product in Japan. I went on their website, www.biore.com and could not find this product except on their Japanese website. I wish these Japanese companies would share more of their beauty secrets and products with the rest of the world. I really love the coolness of the gel patch under my eyes and how great I look the next day!

On my most recent trip to Tokyo, I noticed these delightful BLACK Q-tips everywhere. I love how they have both a smooth end and a spiral end. Black seems to be the “IN” color for a lot of items including blotting tissues, toilet paper, facial masks, shampoo, toothbrush, and even their chopping boards.
Black Q-tips
Notice how they are individually packed, so I can carry them everywhere with me to retouch my makeup or on a weekend getaway. The spiral end is perfect for combing through my eyelashes and smoothing out the clumps of mascara.

If anyone is interested in trying this, you can buy it online here for only USD 2.99.

Like so many girls, I realized how important our eyelashes are a long time ago. The difference between having curly and straight lashes makes a dramatic difference for my eyes, since mine are not the biggest in the world. Let’s just say that I definitely get more compliments when my lashes are all dolled up and curled, with an application of mascara. In a way, I feel like it is my shield and sword, where it gives me more confidence to go out and face the world…lol…
Therefore, in order to achieve the perfect set of eyelashes, I have bought infinite numbers of eyelash curlers. From Shu Uemura, heated, plastic to metal eyelash curlers, I spent countless dollars on trying to find the right one. Right now, I have two favorites that I would like to share with you. One is for use at home and the other is so little and convenient that I can carry it in my bag everywhere I go.
1. Excel Eyelash Curler

This 39mm eyelash curler is wide enough to capture all my eyelashes (even the ones at the corner of my eyes) at the same time. The design of the angle of the eyelash curler allows my eyelashes to curl at a beautifully natural degree. I curl my eyelashes twice, and I find that most effective. The first time is before I apply mascara, and then a second time after my mascara dries. With this technique, my eyelashes stay all curly and natural for a really long time. The best part is that it doesn’t break my eyelashes at all. =)
2. Compact Curler for people on the go

My friend was actually the one who discovered this and recommended it to me. I fell in love with it right away. Even though it doesn’t capture all of my eyelashes in one squeeze, it is so compact that I can’t leave home without it now. My eyelashes look so natural after I curl it with this. The best part is that I can use this at the end of the day without applying new coats of mascara and my eyelashes still appears curly and natural. This is definitely a good buy since it costs only around $5 dollars in the US.
