The Country: Great Britain
The Product: Reparil Gel
The Reason: Though this may not be the most glamorous souvenir, if you bruise easily you'll wonder how you survived without it all your life. (Covering up mottled, purple, tender skin -- darn you, coffee table -- is incredibly frustrating.)
Fusco swears by this gel, which she says speeds up the resolution of her bruises. It contains aescin, which is extracted from horse chestnuts and helps ease inflammation, swelling and pain.

The Country: Japan
The Product: Dolly Wink False Lashes
The Reason: False lashes are amazing -- they can pump up the volume on wimpy, wispy lashes and make eyes look super bright and defined. These lashes from Japan, however, are the ones that will convince you to try them on your bottom lash line.
"The Japanese really know how to have fun with their eyelashes," says Bass. "I am particularly obsessed with the bottom lash strips. They really open up the eyes and look completely natural." (Yep, we'll be on the next flight to Tokyo, too.)

The Country: Germany
The Product: Penaten Crème
The Reason: This thick, water-resistant barrier cream may have been crafted to treat really bad diaper rash, but Fusco stocks up on it to use on her heels in the winter to prevent fissures and cracks. It contains a potent blend of zinc oxide, vitamin E and botanical oils (like sunflower seed oil) that are ultra-soothing and make skin as smooth as, well, a baby's bum.

The Country: France
The Product: Arthrodont Toothpaste
The Reason: The first thing Fournier nabs in Paris is uncut cotton (it's approximately 1000 times softer than the cotton here, and will "change your life"). Second, she buys this toothpaste -- "we have a tendency to go more natural [with ingredients] here," she says of France, which is why she prefers this toothpaste. (Plus, there's something about the bought-in-France aspect makes a typically boring beauty item seem ultra chic.)
