"PinterestFacebookWhat is this? I don&amp;#39;t know, but I want it.\n*It&amp;#39;s probably a good thing that I don&amp;#39;t leave the country very often, because I could not be trusted in a Hong Kong duty-free. Or a French pharmacy, for that matter. I would basically Supermarket Sweep the place and buy enough to set off some sort of trade violation between our countries. There&amp;#39;s just something about a beauty product that&amp;#39;s not available in the U.S. that instantly makes it about a billion times cooler. *There&amp;#39;s the kitschy cuteness of mistranslated product descriptions, the adorable packaging, and the fact that if you can&amp;#39;t read the ingredients, it must be a really advanced, breakthrough formula that isn&amp;#39;t even legal in America yet...or something. Well, at least that&amp;#39;s what I think goes on in my head. No one ever said I was being logical about this! Sometimes I don&amp;#39;t even need to know what the product is&amp;#8212;just the fact that the bottle is shaped like a bunny, for example, is good enough for me.\nHow many of you feel the same desire to buy these types of products? Maybe it&amp;#39;s not a cute Japanese lip gloss but rather a luxe-looking French skin care product that does it for you? Well, either way, there are two places you can get foreign brands right here in the U.S., no passport required:\nFor European Brands: Beautyhabit.com\nThis online beauty boutique is owned by Teresa Mitchell, a true beauty-obsessed product-hoarder who totally understands my obsession. She goes on regular trips to France to scout the best brands and bring them to us via her site. Her favorites include Bioderma Eye Makeup Remover and Embryolisse 24hr Miracle Cream (a do-it-all moisturizer).\nFor Asian Brands: eBay\nWhether it&amp;#39;s a face cream with snails in it or a collagen lip balm, someone is buying it up at her local pharmacy and listing it on eBay just for you. Seriously, though, the foreign beauty product trade operation going on is really impressive, and eBay is a great way to simplify the transaction, especially when there&amp;#39;s a language barrier involved.\nDo any of you have favorite foreign beauty products?
