My Satchel Story! :D

Okay, I don't really have a "story" to tell BUT I have been itching to get a satchel for months now! Not only because they're very trendy nowadays but also because I really need a bag that will be able to carry my laptop without it looking like it's carrying a laptop. I hope I made my point there. Lol! and other school stuffs (Being a university student can literally be a pain, if you know what I mean..)

So I was at Jelly Bean (ジェリービーンズ / Jelly Bean Store in Japan) last night when I spotted this cute pink satchel. Ahh, my soft spot for pink has yet again kicked in ♥
See, it has a really nice pink shade. Not so candy pink but just the right light pink look and the golden buckles compliment it well :D 
I was originally planning to get a bright yellow satchel from LIZ LISA but it was too small and too decorative for my taste so I went with this instead. It's just the right size; not too big, not too small :)
There are two spaces where you can put your stuffs and the inside of this satchel is quite roomy too. I think I can put more stuffs here other than my laptop :D
Oh yeah, I have two Blackberry smartphones now. I got the new one as a gift. Yay! XD
It's embedded with the brand name just to make sure that it's not fake. It can be an import but definitely authentic♡ Imported products are a bit expensive though. Ugh.

By the way, guess what else I just bought? Another lipstick! Gaaahhh I can't get enough of Revlon. Srsly! Someone help me! Haha. But this will be the last one, I swear XD It just so happened that I managed to save extra money these past weeks.

Anyways, what I have is yet again, another Lip Balm Stain. This time, the shade is in Lovesick Passionee. Haha. That is soooo me XD
Along with this, I got a Revlon Mirror as an award for being a loyal customer at Revlon's. Lol! Just kidding. But, yeah. I have the same one as my sister's.
Lovesick Passionee has a darker shade if compared to my Cherish Devotion. I haven't tried it yet but I'll tell you all about it once I have :)
 
 (It's not that visible cause of the light but I'm wearing a stained and slightly faded Cherish Devotion here)
So that's it! I gotta go back to studying now. There's only 2 days left before Christmas. My, how time flies..
またね!

End of the World Shopping/ Pre-Christmas Hauls♡

Hello girls♥ 
So I was in a very bad mood the other night that I just had to go shopping to get bad vibes off my mind. 
Yesterday could have been the "end of the world" but I spent my whole day shopping anyways. Lol :)
So here are some of the stuffs that I got.
While picking up Christmas gifts for.. well, this coming Christmas, I was lured to buy beauty stuffs from my two most favorite beauty brands: Etude House and Revlon!♥ Surprise, surprise (-.-) Haha :D

Etude House Skin [Mal:Gem]: Smoother
I've always wanted to get this toner. I dunno why but it looks really promising. Smoother  :D 
Etude House Kissful Lipcare: Strawberry
Remember how I said in my last post that I wanted to try this? Well, here it is! Yay :D I got it in strawberry flavor simply because I love pink strawberries
Etude House Natural Mask: Pomegranate
I got this one for free which reminds me, I haven't even used the It's Real Broccoli Mask that I bought last month! :O Oh well, guess I'll just give this one to my sister.
Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick: Peach
Ahh! Finally! A peach lipstick! Been wanting to have one of these for a long time now :D  I was originally planning to buy another pink shade lipstick but the very kind and welcoming SA encouraged me to buy this one as well. See, this is why SAs should act nice! >:)
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (Matte): Stormy Pink
I just had to emphasize the word "Matte" coz that's the main reason why these lipsticks last for long hours or even for the whole day! Plus, I was told that this is one of their best sellers. Definitely worth all the money

Btw, I haven't made a review about the Revlon Lip Balm Stain: Cherish have I? I'll be sure to make one soon because I just love it and it's one of my favorite lipsticks :D
I also forgot to update about the Pink Membership that I got from Etude House. (about time..-.-) I've had this card for a month now, I wasn't planning to talk about it cause I was trying to be sensitive and waiting for something to happen first but to hell with that. So there :P

Reviews on these products, the BB creams from the previous months and lipsticks will be coming very soon. I promise! Haha (>_<) Can't help it, I've been busy with school stuffs you know XD

In addition to all these, I also bought my skin care products and a couple of outfits but I don't feel the need to post all of those here. Especially the outfits, that would be weird O_O
But I will post one photo just for the sake of having pictures on this blog post. Lol.
THIS! I just love the color of this top ♥
I got this Calvin Klein Cat Wristwatch as a gift from my sister. Ahh! Cats! ♡
ネコちゃん大ちゅき(笑)

So that's about all of the most important stuffs that I got yesterday. Other things that I bought include gifts (for Christmas) School stuffs (because I'm a nerd) Books (because I'm a nerd) and FoodS (because I eat like monster) Lol!

Bye now! Enjoy the holidays girls!
PS: I'm desperate to gain weight. Any tips? (>_<) Drop them on my twitter @crstalbee

Chapped Lips No More! Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm Review

Christmas is just around the corner and you know what that means right? Yes, you guessed it, the cold season or simply, winter!
I for one, love the cold season. Cold season = Good sleep. Lol! But I hate what it does to my lips! Because of the cold weather, our lips often become dry or chapped and we can't have that right? So to restore my lips back to their usual softness, I got myself this:

Maybelline's Baby Lips Lip Balm in Anti Oxidant Berry

Product Claim :

Instant 8H Moisture
Shed away rough dryness for supple, smooth and cushioned lips all day long.
In one week rejuvenated lips
It’s Proven: Centella Essence increases cell turnover to literally transform your lips:
  • fine lines reduced
  • elasticity increased
  • suppleness increased

My Take: 
Pros:
  • moisturizes lips well
  • has SPF 20
  • contains 4 grams of balm that will last you for a good 2~3 months
  • awesome scent! ♥
  • very and i mean VERY affordable :D 
  • packaging is perky and adorbs! ♥
Cons:
  • still leaves a white film especially after eating

Okay sorry for the bad resolution. Dunno why but my camera's been ditching me for the past who-knows-how-many-months-have-passed. Lol! I'm gonna get a new one soon.

Let me just add that the sole purpose of this balm is to moisturize therefore, it doesn't have any tint which means you can use it under your lipstick! Well, atleast that's what I do anyway :)

Here are the other variants:
  • Relieving Menthol
  • Energizing Orange
  • Smoothing Cherry
  • Anti Oxidant Berry
I'm planning to get the Smoothing Cherry next but I would also like to try Etude House's Kissful Lip Care. I heard it's good too and doesn't leave any white film on your lips.

So there you have it. Just a short review for this morning. Bye now! :)

ああ~起きたくない( *`ω´) もっとゴロゴロしていたい笑
