A few years ago, I shared Top 3 Best Japanese Double Eyelid Glue/Tape Products through my blog. Even though I have double eyelids, I know that Japanese double eyelid glue/tape products work really well! My Japanese friends who have monolids have been using double eyelid products since they were in high school in Japan. When we were teenagers, they told me that they really wanted to get blepharoplasty, double-eyelid surgery, some day. I was not sure if they really meant it. It's because that compared to other countries, plastic surgery isn't very common in Japan. It's so controversial
because people in Japan believe that your body was given by your
parents, so you shouldn't get unnecessary surgeries. After years and years, my friends told me that Japanese double eyelid products have improved significantly, and she thought that those are actually better than getting double-eyelid surgery because a plastic surgery is usually irreversible. In addition, with using double eyelid products, she can choose double eyelid size every morning. Indeed, their double eyelids always look perfectly natural to me.
Last month, I read an article from Japanese magazine about so-called "plastic surgery makeup." Some Japanese beauty YouTubers, Miyu Suzuki and Mizuyotie, are really great at plastic surgery makeup, and they used to really want to get plastic surgery when they were teenagers, but now they don't think so. They really enjoy makeup without getting plastic surgery. That's the same as what my friends told me before!
I also enjoyed reading March 2019 Issue of LDK the Beauty, a Japanese beauty magazine. I was really interested in one of their articles. It was about the best double eyelid products, and I thought that I should share those with you. :) Today, I'm going to share top five best Japanese double eyelid glue/tape products with you.

Last Sunday, my husband and I went to San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine, CA. This is one of our favorite places to go for a walk and watch wild birds in Southern California. :)
This winter, it has rained a lot in Southern California. Because it also rained on the previous day, the ponds were filled with a plenty of water, and we were able to see many kinds of birds there. :)
When I walk this trail, I start thinking what if I encounter a mountain lion or a bobcat here... I think that a bobcat usually won't attack human, but I don't want to encounter a mountain lion. However, a mountain lion has been actually seen in Irvine once several years.

There was a flock of crows cawing around the trees. We found that there was a large osprey sitting in the tree.

Last year, my Korean friend told me that Costco started selling famous Korean skincare products and were incredibly popular! Last week, I found that this Korean skin care set, The Case Full Of Seoul, was on sale Costco online. I was glad that I could finally get one because it's sold out quickly! If you are interested in this product, you can still find ones on eBay and Amazon now.
When I opened it up, I noticed that it smelled so good! :) This set includes cleanser, toner, essence, beauty serum, eye cream, moisturizer, sun cream, makeup primer, facial oil and facial masks.
01. 9 Wishes Rice Foaming Cleanser Removing makeup is the first and foremost step in skincare. Gently lather the cleanser onto your damp face and rinse with warm water to not only cleanse, but also exfoliate and remove dead skin cells to give you a fresher, more radiant skin.
How to Use Apply a small amount onto damp skin. Massage face gently while avoiding eye contact. Rinse with warm water.
02. Maycoop Raw Sauce Mini Duo Toner will remove any leftover impurities and balance the pH level to prepare your skin for the skincare steps that follow, and maximize their benefits. Immediately after cleansing, dampen a cotton pad with toner and gently wipe over skin. Repeat for best results.
How to Use After cleansing, soak in the Raw Sauce in a cotton round and gently wipe the face. It could also be used as an essence; apply to face and neck and let it soak in the skin using gentle patting motions with the hand.
03. Urang True Rose Repair Essence Let's get down to the essence of the Essence. Lightly tap in a small amount just after applying toner, to deliver instant thirst-quenching hydration and nutrients to your newly cleansed and toned skin.
How to Use Apply 2-3 pumps of essence onto skin. Gently massage to enhance absorption.
04. Onesoseven (107) Coreflex To take your skincare to the next level, make sure not to skip Serum! It contains a higher concentration of active ingredients, that will penetrate skin on a deeper level and bring out a healthier glow from inside out. Apply a few drops immediately after essence - a small amount goes a long way.
How to Use Spray Coreflex Essential Liquid to your face and neck then tap gently into the skin.
05. TOV Camellia Wrinkle Free Eye Solution The skin around your eyes is particularly delicate and prone to show aging, so Eye Cream is a must. Gently apply it with your ring finger, using soft patting motions around the orbital bone to deliver that feel-good anti-aging benefits, and reduce puffiness.
How to Use Turn left to unlock. Open the cap and press the bottom of the applicator for the formula to come out and control the amount of volume. Rub the applicator around the eyes gently with the silicon tip.
06. Maycoop Raw Moisturizer Next up is the good-old Moisturizer, that creates a barrier and prevents all the nutrients previously applied from drying out. Moisturizer gives the skin time to absorb all the beneficial ingredients, and also keep the skin supple all day. Apply a generous amount to your face and neck.
How to Use Dispense an adequate amount on the palm and apply evenly to the face.
07. IWLT Protective Base Suncream Sun rays are your skin's worst enemy. They cause premature aging, discoloration and breakouts, so never forget Sun Cream in your daily morning routine if you want to age gracefully. Apply liberally over face and neck.
How to Use Before use, shake the bottle for the formula to be mixed up and gently tap in the Sun Cream.
08. Touch In Sol No Poreblem Primer Before moving on to makeup, smooth out your skin with Primer. Primer hides pores, evens out skin tone, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and controls sebum production, for longer lasting makeup. Apply a generous amount evenly over the face, focusing on oily areas.
How to Use Apply a thin layer to the entire face concentrating on the areas to conceal pores, before applying foundation.
09. Urang Vitamin Oil Serum Oil isn't always a bad thing - actually, maintaining water-oil balance is the best way to keep the skin healthy and young. Apply a small amount of facial oil after moisturizer, or simply mix both together before applying makeup for a long-lasting, intensive hydration that sinks deep into the skin.
How to Use Massage 1-2 drops onto the face. Can be used alone, or added to your favorite moisturizer or toner.
10. IWLT All-In-One Concentrate Treatment Mask Sheet masks are packed with a concentrated formula of active ingredients that deliver instant hydration and nutrients that your skin craves. They are designed to form a barrier to prevent all the nutrients from evaporating, and no other skincare application is needed afterwards. Just put the mask on for 20 minutes after cleansing and toning and lightly pat in the remaining essence into your skin after removal.
How to Use Wipe off the face with toner. Place the mask around eyes first, and then rest of face. Relax with the mask on for 10-20 minutes, then remove the sheet. Gently pat the remaining formula onto skin and let it absorb.
My Korean friend sometimes gave me popular Korean beauty products after she visited Korea, so I learn new Korean products from her sometimes. All Korean products she tells me about are very interesting to me! :) This time, it was my first time to purchase this large Korean skincare set for myself! I cannot wait to try them. ;)
