足リラシート Ashi Rirashito Foot detox pad Overview

The other week we took a spontaneous trip to Don Quijote.  They literally have everything here.  The Ashi Rirashito (Foot Lira Sheet) was something my husband suggest i try.  Since I haven't tried a foot detox pad before I thought why not.  It was 210円  including one set (a pad for each foot).  They have several different scents to choose from.  Lavender to red pepper depending on your preference & reason of use.  The packet I picked up was lavender which is suppose to help calm/sooth you to allow a betters nights rest.

The pads are easy to apply & adhere to the bottom of the foot with ease.  If you are sensitive to scents this isn't over whelming at all.  I applied one to each foot before going to bed.  When I woke up the next morning they had not budged or peeled.  I do suggest removing them in the bathroom.  When you peel the pads off they do leave some residue on your foot from the detox packet as well as some sticker residue.  The packet as well as my foot was damp & the color of the powder changed to a dark color.  It was a little gross looking but I do feel like it did the job.

Overall I did get a better rest feeling more energetic than usual compared to the couple weeks before.  I would wake up twice a night tossing & turning having no energy in the morning.  I would definitely try this again to see if I can obtain the same results.  When I have tested this more I will check back later with final thoughts.

Taking a Look: Lashes!!

If you love lashes then you'll have to check out Don Quixote if you get a chance to go to Japan or Hawaii (spelled Don Quijote).  Those are unfortunately the only places that Donki is available.  On a side note I'm sure you're thinking why Hawaii.  But Hawaii is a very asian influenced place from the food to things they sell at stores.  Especially since a large part of the tourist there come from Japan.  Any way, it's lash heaven!  They have many different varieties to choose from.  Natural to very large lashes, as well as top and bottom lashes.  The prices are great for the amount you get.  At the same time you can still expect to find sets that are more than $10.00.  These are some of the lashes I picked out.

The lashes on the left are very dramatic & fun.  They get gradually longer from the inner corner out.  The only thing I don't like is the band on them.  It's quite thick which makes me aware that I'm wearing them.  Compared to other lashes that I'm use to wearing.  These are 780円 .

As for the ones on the right they came with one more pair but aren't as dramatic.  The style of these are spiky & not as noticeable.  Unfortunately I don't remember the price of these.  The day I picked them up I had to use them right away (for a last minute Halloween Party).  Which I ended up throwing away the package it came in.  I believed they were less tan 780円 .

I do like the band on the spiky lashes better but overall I do prefer the ones on the left.  Personally I like bigger lashes.  Below are picture showing you what the lashes look like on.
