  I made a makeup video, featuring some different Japanese products and a bunch of products from Too Faced. 
  
  
  
  
  Gransenbon Pore Cover Powder
  
  I got this from Takashimaya for $21.95, not cheap especially for something so small, but I patted it around my nose where my pores are most visible, and my skin looked SO smooth!  I'd save this item mostly for special occations and clients' photo shoots, especially where closeups might be involved.   
  
  
  Mascara Guard
  
  I bought a mascara guard similar to this, for when I work on clients and want to get close without poking them in the eye or accidently getting mascara on their skin.  I swear, Japanese people think of everything. 
  
  
  Komenuka Bijin Cleanser
  
  I got this cleanser from Diamond Beauty in Studio City, a high end beauty supply store that carries a lot of different brands.  I absolutely love it.  I've been experimenting with many different (expensive!) cleansers in the last few years and this one has been the best.  (My skin is sensitive so I need something gentle that won't make me break out.)  The cleanser comes in a sand-like powder form, which becomes a foam when mixed with water.  You put it on your face and the powder exfoliates your face a little before it foams up.  Each packet lasts 3-6 uses and the cup contains 30 packets. 
  
  
  I found a great eBay store that has a lot of Japanese products, based out of Temple City.  I saw some Kanebo Kate eyeshadow on there that is $10 cheaper than what I saw in a store in Alhambra!  check it out.
