Region 3 or "Asian" imports

This is straying from the topic a bit, but on the subject of European releases, does anyone have any recommendations for ways an American could buy older English-language European releases, where the only English release is the European release? I've picked up a couple on eBay over the years, but I run into a dead end on the low-demand, obscure games that I assume European eBay sellers don't feel are worth selling internationally.

One game in particular that I've been wanting to get is Cosmetic Paradise for DS, which is a game that, frankly, probably nobody but me even cares about, haha. (The sequel came out in the US as Imagine Makeup Artist, and there's a third game that never left Japan.) I doubt it's worth much, but I can't find it for sale anywhere. I did come across the French release, but unfortunately, it's a game where not every European copy contains English as a language option. So I need to specifically find the UK version to get it in English.

Play Asia is usually pretty good about saying if something has an English option - but with Japanese ones they sometimes don't list it when it is on it. So if there is something you are interested it is worth tracking down into - usually on the developers website - case in point the Japanese Kemco RPG collections Playasia doesn't list English but if you go to the Kemco website they have English listed for that series of games.
