Once I saw another woman do it, I caved and figured it was worth a shot because at least we would look silly together. I have never looked back and I don't feel self-conscious about it at all any more! It makes a world of a difference and is worth the extra effort, especially because people do expect my skin to look good (events, meetings, filming, etc). Give it a try on your next flight! xo RAEviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987230952593853380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-74837153016252728792015-03-11T12:41:52.664-07:002015-03-11T12:41:52.664-07:00Oh, how I wish many of these brands were readily a...Oh, how I wish many of these brands were readily available in the US without having to pay an arm and a leg for shipping from Japan! If these brands were available in the US, they'd make a killing. Back in the day, we had a very Euro-centric bias towards cosmetics. In particular, if it was from France or Italy, it was considered to be the very best. That's no longer true thanks to the internet and international travel. Beauty is global and there is a huge untapped market in the US for Japanese luxury brands. When I went to Tokyo last summer, I took an extra case for all the goodies I knew I'd be bringing back for myself and friends. I had so much fun shopping in Tokyo. Everyone was so gracious and accommodating. I spent more than I had originally planned, but having access to all those wonderful Asian brnads and to the Asian exclusives by the European brands had me feeling like it was the proverbial Christmas in July.<br /><br />I got a chuckle out of the visual of you and a plane load of chic women stretched out in flight with beauty masks on your faces. :-). It's certainly becoming a common sight especially on transpacific or transatlantic flights, but I haven't quite gotten up the nerve yet. I do use Tatcha eye patches in flight and cover them up with my sleep mask while I nap, but the full on face mask I reserve for when I get to the hotel. Perhaps I'll be braver next time.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-51297638744436245202015-03-10T23:29:19.311-07:002015-03-10T23:29:19.311-07:00Hi, there!

It's the department store my grandparents used to shop at when they would visit Tokyo, so it had sentimental value for me! And I'm not positive which service I received, but I think it was the premium package because it also included a quick makeover after the skin care treatment! I fell asleep after a few minutes into the facial; it was THAT relaxing! You definitely have to visit :)RAEviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987230952593853380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-56624515960159089362015-03-10T23:26:16.331-07:002015-03-10T23:26:16.331-07:00Thanks for letting me know!Thanks for letting me know!RAEviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987230952593853380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845163767431737519.post-45896068985728950832015-03-10T21:05:57.710-07:002015-03-10T21:05:57.710-07:00What a fabulous post!
