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！
メリクリ♪
 
 

Revlon and Etude House Swatches/ Mom's gift/ New pics

Hello loves How is your week so far?
Mine has been soo soo soo not good. Aside from not being able to sleep well last night (thanks brain..and Starbucks!), I've been in such a bad mood all week because I can't watch Paranormal 4. Tss.

Anyways, my mood isn't getting any better but my lips sure are :)
Last night, I was at the mall with my sister and she pushed me into buying this.

Revlon: Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain

I got the 015 Cherish Devotion shade simply because it's pink it's so pretty. She also owns one which is the Smitten.
I was hesitant to get this at first 'cause it says "lip balm" and I was afraid that it won't give my lips the color I want but upon swatching (and trying on my sister's), I was amazed that it's not just your typical lip balm. It is, actually a cross over between a lip balm and a lipstick :)
So here are the swatches I made. I compared it to Etude House's Dear My Blooming Lipstick.

I wasn't able to take a picture when they were still newly applied (I was at the mall, duh.)
This was taken when I got home, about 3 hours after application. You can see that Etude's  Pk002 already faded (Aw, sucks. I applied 3 layers of this while only 1 on Revlon's) I wanted to buy that lipstick at first because of the cute packaging and color but seeing that it doesn't really last you for long, I change my mind.

Another thing is that Revlon has a healthy shine to it since it's also a balm.\

Water Test

This is kinda crazy. I dunno if it's still visible here but you can click on the photo to see it clearly.
I took this shot after I got out of the shower. I used my usual bath soap but I didn't scrub my hand that hard cause I wanted to test the water resistance of these lipsticks. And Revlon stayed! while Etude's already gone with the water. Lol.
Overall, qualitywise, Revlon's (lipstick) is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a fan of Etude House, just not their lipstick.

Anyways, more on lipsticks. (I know I'm beginning to sound like a makeup junkie, but no worries, I swear I am not one XD)
My mom gave me this last week, or is it last last week? 

MAC Lipstick and Lipgloss in 07 ♥
It's also in pink and comes with a lipgloss. 可愛いよね？( *｀ω´) 

So that's it! I have to start doing my paper works now. Ahh, my prof is such a slave driver (-__-) 

Excuse the messy hair, I was gonna fix it to get ready for school but I ended up camwhoring instead. Without my glasses! Lol. 
Uhh, maybe I should stop trying to wear concealer under my eyes. My eyebags disappeared after I stopped wearing contact lenses. Yay!
I wasn't wearing any lipstick here btw.
じゃぁ！

Etude House: 『Latest』 Surprise Essence Concealer

Okay, since I don't have classes 'til tonight, I'm gonna take this time to give you a quick review on Etude House's Surprise Essence Concealer! ♥ 

I was lucky to snag this at their store 'cause this is actually a newer and improved version of their former Surprise Essence Concealer :)
ラッキー☆〜（ゝ。∂） 
So I bought shade no. 1 which is the lightest and fits my skin so well. The shade is lighter than their BB cream shades so maybe that's why..

See? XD They improved the packaging and I think they also improved the applicator.
I heard that the old version had a scent but this new one doesn't have a scent at all! (which is just great :D I have no idea why concealers should be scented. Lol. )

I can't tell you much about the ingredients. There is something written behind the container but I can't read Hangul soooo... moving on XD

Swatches:

I won't show you girls lots of photos on applying this concealer on different parts of my face anymore (lol) I think this swatch can also tell you about how well this product performed its job at concealing my green vein. Truly, a little amount goes a long way :)
 

Applicator: It comes with a doe tip applicator that's slightly different than lip gloss/other concealer's applicator. This one gets just the right amount of the product :)

Shades: Comes in two shades. 

• Light Beige : Recommended for extra fair people.
• Natural Beige : For those who have a natural, not so dark and not too fair complexion.

Coverage: It has a medium to heavy coverage which I think is buildable.  Be careful not to put on TOO much coz just like many other concealers, it might cake on you. But that's only if you put on too much so no worries :)

Scent: No scent at all! so it doesn't irritate sensitive skin ♥

Pros:

• unscented! ♥
• This one actually hit me with its shade. Light beige is just perfect for me. And from here on, my quest in finding the perfect shade in concealers, have officially ended. Lol!
• does its job at concealing dark under eyes, blemishes and red spots.
• easy to blend.
• affordable! たった６００円だよ！♪ / about 300 Php :)
• cute packaging, as always :)

Cons:

• can't think of any 'cause they already enhanced it :D

Repurchase: Uhh, honestly, I don't know. This is a great product and I don't have anything against this but since I only use quite a little amount, it's probably gonna take me a long time (if not forever XD) to use it all up before I can repurchase it.

That's it~ Just a quick review on this lovely product. It's still early so I'll just go and browse my notes. I'm supposed to have an exam today! XD 
じゃね！( *｀ω´)／

Etude House and Donki Shopping :)

Hello dearies♡ 
I'm back again for a haul post. Ahh, shopping takes all the stress out of my system. Don't you agree? Lol :)
Okay, here goes.

Yay! More Panda stuffs for my collections ♥
This one is actually a mug but I'm using it as a penholder right now. ちょう可愛い！笑
I would love to post about my panda collections but well, I'm still missing a clock. Must find one soon. Lol :)

• Etude House BB Cream Bright Fit
• Etude House Surprise Essence Concealer
• AC Clinic Skin Care Kit (I have no idea what this is. I never even bought it. I just got it as a freebie. Guess they were just giving it away to their customers. I should do some research about what this thing is.. Haha :D )

I am no connoisseur of make-up. Like, I don't wear make up but I do love using Etude House's BB creams as a daytime moisturizer (aside from them being famous all over Japan , ofcourse XD ). They're very light on the skin plus heals blemishes too :)

Our light lunch. Mmm..♪　うまかった( *｀ω´)

Okay, that's it for now. Bye!

Kitty's Bath time! ♡

It's me again! I remember saying that I'll try to make this post last Monday but I ended up making a review post instead. Lol! 
So anyway, as I have previously tweeted, I gave my kitty a bath! No, not the real cat but my Gothic Lolita Hello Kitty! Haha :D

Okay, I had no idea how to wash a plushie/stuffed toy. I didn't even know that they're allowed to be washed 'cause well, they're stuffed toys for crying out loud! They'll absorb all the water and become too heavy. Lol.
But since I can't stand sleeping with a filthy "kitty", I gave her a bath anyways.

こんな感じです♪　（笑）

This is her bling necklace :D

よく見たらあたしのマリッジリングも見えるよ～ん☆〜（ゝ。∂）

I also sneaked her dress into my laundry bin so I can get away with not washing her clothes　ｂｙ myself XD

はぉ～さっぱりしたね♪

 

は～い、ここまでです♪ 

では！( *｀ω´)／

Sunday Brunch

Hello dearies♪ How are you spending your Sunday?
As for me, I spent the first half of my Sunday with my bestfriend :D
Our initial plan was to go to the mass but due to unfortunate circumstances, she broke her newly bought wrist watch! (Clumsy? Ikr. Lol! :) )

 So right after the mass we went to a local watchmaker to have it repaired.
 And went to the mall while waiting for it.
 

It was still morning and we weren't that hungry so we just went and grabbed some spaghetti at a fastfood restaurant.
Ahh, I'm not really a spaghetti person.. Lol.

So that's it! I gotta go now and fix my kitty's dress. She just took a bath. Haha :D I don't know if I'll be able to post about this tomorrow 'cause I'm gonna be very busy starting this week but I'll try :)
Bye! いつもありがとうね！( *｀ω´)
