Eye Slack Haruka Wants to Vibrate Your Eye Bags Away

Hazel Chua — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 16:00:58 +0000

My mother can always tell how many hours I slept the previous night based on the size of the bags under my eyes. When deadlines are running tight and things are getting crazy hectic I work, I sometimes pull all-nights, and the second thing to suffer (since the first one would have to be my health) are my looks.

And since there is no gadget that the Japanese want to leave uninvented to treat everyday problems such as humongous eye bags, we now have the option of treating these unsightly undereye circles and bulges with the Eye Slack Haruka.

The Eye Slack Haruka is actually a pair of pink-colored, crescent moon-shaped devices with two modes of operation: soft and hard. Going for “hard” will provide some mild, electric simulation to your eye bags, while “soft” gives them a gentle heating and vibrating treatment.

No clinical studies have been done to show the effectiveness of the Eye Slack Haruka, but the manufacturers claim that just three minutes a day with these under-eyepieces on will reduce the sagging skin under your peepers with continued use. It’s available from Japan Trend Shop for $131 if you’d like to give it a shot.

Ergoroller Wrist Support and Massager: Blogger’S Best Bud?

Lambert Varias — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:08:18 +0000

As a professional timewaster, my wrists take a lot of punishment. Especially my right wrist; lately it has taken to zapping me with painful needles of hate, demanding that I stop using it. That came out a bit off. You know what I mean. That’s why I was hypnotized by the sight of the Ergoroller.

I can vividly imagine its soothing and healing effect on my wrist, the cold balls caressing my skin. Now that was really off. But I still want your balls, Ergoroller.

Then again, a simple cushion might still be more comfortable than this device. You can order the Ergoroller here for $25 (USD). Have any of you tried it? Know a better alternative? Share your thoughts in the comments, ’cause my wrist is just about ready to file the first ever human-body part divorce. I can feel it.

USB Eyeball Massager Seems Like a Really Bad Idea

Technabob — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:40:27 +0000

Here’s another strange USB device from the Far East. Designed to massage your cares away, these USB-powered eyeball massagers look like they’ll easily poke an eye out if you’re not careful.

Available in wholesale lots from Sundayo, I’m not sure how much they cost. But I’m gonna say that’s a good thing, since I’m guessing that your opthamologist would advise against buying one anyhow.

I’m pretty sure that you’ll end up looking like Phil Ken Sebben if you do.
