Ardell #134 Lashes & Stuff

こんぱんだ♪ヾ(●ω●)ノ”フリフリ 

 

I'm doing my best to update as much as possible in the next 3 days since I will be without internet while I'm on vaca! Sometimes I think it really is sad how much I check the netz every day, but c'est la vie haha (●´艸｀)ヾ

 

Anyway...

The latest w♥c to add to my closet! 

The tiger tee & Mister Banana one were on sale~ the rest wasn't, haha  (///ω///)ﾃﾚﾃﾚ♪

I'm SO excited to bring along the tiger tube top to NYC though~ really glad I was able to snag it & it's still for sale too!

 

& just for fun...

 Natsumi rocking it~

& the fabulous Nemoyayo too! ♥

If you read my twitter, you'll know I'm planning a 5-day w♥c coordinate spread for every day of my trip & I'm having trouble deciding which items to bring. So please feel free to give me your suggestions & help me pack~! ＼（○＾ω＾○）／ 

 

SO NOW ABOUT THE LASHES~~!!

 

Since I won't be able to share the gorgeous Bloomzy & my twin coordinates,  I thought I would at least share the make I wore for it since it included the fabulous pair of Ardell #134 lashes I picked up a week ago!

Ignore the messy lower liner & LOOK AT THOSE LASHES!

★'.･.LOVE~(^▽^(^▽^*)~LOVE.･.･:☆

 

Do I need to say how much I am in love with these??

 

The 'starry-eyed' lash look is my absolute favourite because it just makes your eyes POP & these lashes do an amazing job of doing just that.

Check out Nana Suzuki in her EYEMAZING ones~

& a closer look of the Ardell #134's~

（（ｏ-ω-）♡（−ω-ｏ））

 

Can't wait to try these with some bottom lashes for an even more dramatic look!

What are some of your favourite lash looks?

Maybelline Volum' Express the Falsies Mascara

ヾ(〃⌒ ー———⌒)ﾉ~~ｺﾝﾆﾁﾜｧ♪

 

GOD IT'S SO HOT!! (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♪♪ ﾎﾞｹ〜

 

I went out to get a parfait at this local ice cream place here in town earlier today & nearly died... I hope this crazy heat dies down some before I head up to NYC next week! 

 

I really hope everyone is staying cool (ノД`)・゜・。 

 

Anyway, I didn't want to risk my usual lashes falling off because of the heat (I almost had an embarrassing moment of lash loss like that last weekend, haha u___u) so I thought today would be a great day to finally test out the Maybelline Volum' Express the Falsies mascara! ♪（*＾ー゜)ｖ（*＾▽＾*）*☆

 I'm a sucker for the pretty purple packaging, haha~

I was kind of sad that the brush didn't come out purple like it shows in this photo from the Maybelline website but it does have a great curved, long length~ perfect for getting all your lashes in one sweep!

Here it is on... I had to crop this photo since my hair was a royal mess & kept getting in the way when I took it, haha ☆⌒(＞。≪) 

 

As you can see, it really does lengthen the lashes beautifully, but my only complaint is that it is a little clumpy... I did just sweep it on though, so maybe if I had taken more time it would have come out more evenly.

One more to show the amazing length ❤

Overall, I like this mascara & would recommend it. The price is reasonable (only 6$ at Target) & the quality is decent for a drugstore brand! 

I've been wearing it for about 6 hours now, even took a nap in it, & it hasn't flaked off or anything~ which is a BIG PLUS since most mascaras have a tendency to do that after extended wear!

I don't think I would trade my real falsies for it though, haha ((((^Q^)/゛ギャハハハ

Does anyone think they will give this mascara a try?

GalStar Jumpsuit

Today was a really long & tiring day so I'm going to keep this short & sweet with a look at the GalStar jumpsuit I wore last Sunday~

My Boom: Morocco/Ethnic + Blog Award

☆Hey!ヽ('ｰ'#)/ Hello!☆

Hope everyone is having a good week so far~!
I'm counting down the days til my vacation, which is literally a week from today... Soon I'll be BACK IN THE NYC my old hometown, haha!!

キャハハ o(>▽▽<)o キャハハ

Today I wanted to do a different post, kind of like my style idol posts which I hope to make regularly on here~ MY BOOM! ＼（○＾ω＾○）／ 

For anyone who's like 'wtf is a boom??', basically it's anything that's trending (in this case with me personally) right now. It can be a style, an accessory, a makeup item, music, whatever.  The word is usually used in reference to fashion though, especially in Japanese magazines.

So right now, my boom is... yea, you guessed it~ Morocco/ethnic style! ♪(ﾟ▽^*)ﾉ⌒☆ 

If you've been reading this blog, you can tell I've been loving this trend like whoa.  I first noticed ethnic style in the July issue of JELLY (one of my personal fashion bibles ❤), where it was being promoted as an upcoming 'next' trend~

I really loved JELLY's take on it~ just elements here & there to add an ethnic 'flair' to an outfit without looking like you're just going on vacation in Turkey, haha（≧∇≦）

nuts also did a mini-spread on the trend in the June issue, adding the 'Morocco' part~

I really wish the shots were clearer because the styling in this one is beautiful ❤ You can definitely see a more centralised version of the trend here, which borders on the kitschy vacation-in-Turkey but could also be perfect for a resort look.

The August issue of JELLY actually has my favourite take on the trend in a bigger spread, but unfortunately scans aren't out yet & I'm too anal with my magazines to scan it in myself, haha   

(●´艸｀)ヾ 

Luckily there are lots of blog photos of gals rocking Morocco/ethnic style though~!

My girl Shizuka Takeda looking fabulous as usual~ definitely expect to see more of her in a future style idol post on here!  ❤

Another of my favourite girls, Remi Sakamoto~

The ever-fabulous Aina Tanaka getting in on it~ love her bracelets!

Had to put Chie in twice because she rocks it so well~ sometimes it's a bit much though, but she's forgiven because of her super-gorgeous make, haha!

Natsuki Fukuzumi doing a more mode-kei look, but I think this could easily cross over into ethnic~

Rin looking fabulous as usual ❤

 Emika's pop-ethnic look ❤

 Although it's definitely over-the-top, I'm absolutely loving Riho Nishiyama's take~ that eyemake alone is TO DIE FOR. Definitely going to re-create the eyemake one day!

A quick note~ most of these photos came from agehabarbiedoll's amazing tumblr  ❤ Please check it out if you love gorgeous gal spam 24/7!

& since I could never forget, the lovely Jasmine of Love, Peace & Lipstick gave me this ultra-sweet blog award ＼（○＾ω＾○）／ 

 THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, BB~~!! ❤

I'm supposed to pass this award on to 15 other people, but I honestly can't think of anyone on my blogroll whose blog I DON'T love! 

Ladies, please keep on being the gorgeous, amazing, inspiring gals you all are! 

（*＾・＾）ＣＨＵ〜☆

Mini Make Haul & Snaps

(｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ ｺﾝﾁｬ♪

I've been sick since yesterday & I got to leave work early, so I thought I'd do a little update just to kill some time（ _ _ ）..........o 

I'm still trying to build up my lash & make collection so whenever I get a chance to splurge some on these items, I do it!

 Two Saturdays ago I went to the higher-end mall about 45 mins from where I live & visited the MAC counter. There were so many things I wanted to buy, but since I hadn't gotten paid yet,  I only bought one thing...

My first pair of MAC #7 lashes~~!! ❤

I wore them for the first time both days this past weekend & even though I love the Dolly Wink brand, I have to say I have definitely been converted to MAC lashes~

Saturday's eyemake~

& Sunday~

I also wore my GEO 3 Tone Magic Color blue lenses which I think made the lashes pop even more 

♪(ﾟ▽^*)ﾉ⌒☆ 

 

 This Saturday I went to Sally Beauty Supply to see what if they had anything new & came out with these~

 China Glaze nail polish in colour For Audrey & Ardell Fashion lashes.

 

They had an ENTIRE Ardell lash bar set up & it was SO HARD to pick just one pair!

I decided to go with these though because the style reminded me a little of EYEMAZING brand lashes~

★'.･.LOVE~(^▽^(^▽^*)~LOVE.･.･:☆

 

The nail polish was another great buy since I think it's the same one Mitsu used for her ethnic nails last month! 

I did my own self-mani with it last night trying to take my mind off feeling sick, haha~

 Please to be ignoring my majorly scratched up & abused phone 

(●´艸｀)ヾ

The colour is really pretty though!

As a bonus, I also picked up one of the new Maybelline Volum' Express mascaras at Target~

I usually really like Maybelline mascaras, but I wonder if this one will live up to its claim to make your lashes look like 'falsies,' haha  (￣▽￣)ノ＿彡☆バンバン！

 

That's it for now~ 

 

☆⌒(*^-ﾟ)ﾉ~♪see you again♪~ヾ(ﾟ-^*)⌒☆

Weekend So Far

(*^ο^)こ(*^-^)ん(*^○^)ば(*^-^)ん(*^〇^)わ(*^∇^)ｖ ﾆﾊﾟｯ♪ 

What's up? ♪(ﾟ▽^*)ﾉ⌒☆ 

Since I'm having a quiet Saturday at home tonight, I thought I'd do a little update haha~

Last night I caught a live reggae show with one of my friends here~

I have to say this is probably THE CLOSEST to an actual club we have here in my super-boring little town & last night was my first time going... The bar was set up really nice, the drinks were good, & it was a nice crowd. 

They have regular electro/hip-hop nights here too, so I'm definitely going to go back & check it out!

＼（○＾ω＾○）／ 

 

This is what I wore last night~

If you couldn't tell from my most recent posts lately, I'm really into the ethnic trend haha!（＾凹＾）

 

I thought it was appropriate to wear to a reggae show too~ a little bit island-y & casual ❤

 Check my sweet faux turquoise ring I snagged for 6$ at Target too~  

o(>▽<)o ウキャキャウキャキャ

 

Today I wore my w❤c maxi dress, which I ended up spilling coffee on while I was driving from Starbucks this afternoon because I'm a klutz (´Д｀。)

 

Before the disaster~

 Luckily coffee doesn't stain forever! (●´艸｀)ヾ

I'm happy to report it came right out in the wash~

  

HAPPY WEEKEND, EVERYONE~~!!

☆⌒(*^-ﾟ)ﾉ~♪see you again♪~ヾ(ﾟ-^*)⌒☆

New w❤c 3 & GalStar

ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノおはよう

 

IT'S THURSDAY, YEA~~!! haha o(>▽<)o

 

Before I get on with this post though, I just wanted to thank everyone who left a comment on the twin coordinate post ❤ It was a lot of fun for us to do & I'm happy we could share that joy with you all who read this blog!

But moving on... 

The last of my w❤c haul came in last week, which included these lovely two items from mbok from the spring 2010 collection~

 The floral print maxi dress is brand new with tags!

♪（*＾ー゜)ｖ（*＾▽＾*）*☆

The shorts are a size M & are HUGE on my waist but I figured if I can wear them down around my hips à la this cutie on the left from the August issue of JELLY, I'll be ok haha!

I also made my first GalStar order which came in last week as well & I was pretty pleased with the goods! ❤ The quality isn't as cheap as I was expecting & the designs are just like what's shown on the webshop.

On the right is this jumpsuit I just HAD to have since I'm really into the Morocco/ethnic trend right now~

 & on the left is this super-hot mode-kei leopard onepiece Mitsu blogged about here: 

 Bear in mind this is supposed to be a tank top but it's shown as a onepiece & notice how it looks on Shizuka. Pretty short, right? 

 

But I don't have a problem with short dresses.

 

Well, here it is on me...

I swear there's AT LEAST an extra half-inch or something on Shizuka's that doesn't make it this hoochie short because I'm only 160cm (5'3"), unless Shizuka is a midget, but that's not even the worst part!

 

Here is the back, purely for the lulz...

｡ﾟﾟ(」｡≧□≦)」＜ﾉヾヵャ□才〜ッ！！！

 

 Yea, that's why it's listed as a tank top, haha!

I definitely WON'T be wearing this as a onepiece  ☆⌒(＞。≪)
