Lancome Doll Eyes mascara and KENT AIRHEDZ brush review

Sooo, a really long time ago I said I would do a review on the Doll Eyes mascara that I had bought, and now I finally came around to do so.



To begin with, I must say that this is a very defining mascara, it doesn't thicken your lashes much but it is good at giving them length and separating them, kind of helping in creating that dolly look. It might thicken up if you ad many layers, but to be honest even though I have a really good make up remover it's kind of hell trying to wash only one layer of mascara off completely. I feel that if I add more I will end up with no lashes at all in the end -_- I'd say if you want thicker lashes to doll it up even more, add some false lashes or another thickening mascara that washes off easier.
However I really do like it, it stays on all day, doesn't smudge much around the eyes (which is often a big problem for me when it comes to mascaras). And it looks awesome on my bottom lashes, almost like falsies. I'd say the negative could be the lashes sometimes comes off as looking a bit "stiff"? If I compare to some Max Factor mascaras I've used in the past I said the gave a "softer" look.

On a scale from 1-10 I'd say I give this a 7. And here a couple of pictures of how it looks while applied (only one layer).



Today I also received my long awaited KENT AIRHEADZ maxi detangling brush. I can not describe how happy I am to finally have a nice brush again, I really liked my old one so I've holden on to it for far too long, making it really uncomfortable to use in the end. 
This new brush was described to be perfectly fit for people with long, messy thick hair, which describes my hair to 100%, especially when it's newly washed. The brush looks like this:


The spikes are really far apart and very rounded and soft so it does indeed feels very nice when you brush your hair with this. Even though I've only tried it on dry hair so far I must say it does what it promises and glides through the hair effortlessly, not tugging at the hair at all. Also the grip is very nice so it lies nicely in your hand.
Since I haven't tried it on wet hair yet I'll give it 9 of 10, but I'm pretty sure it will do a great job.

Now I'll soon be off internet for a week since I'm traveling to Kyûshu and Okayama tomorrow, it's gonna be so much fun! And of course I'll take lots of pictures to post later^^.

Until next time, take care~

Classes have ended, time for a happy post!

Whoa, finished last "final test" for the semester today. I have a pretty strong feeling I will have to retake this class though due to extreme lack of motivation -__- But at least now I have tried my best at the tests so I'll find out tomorrow. And tomorrow night we are having kind of a class gathering since some people won't come back for next semester, even though we ended up just being 5 people plus our teacher lol. To say it feels a bit weird to go out drinking with your teacher is an understatement, but I think it will be fun.
BUT, I still have one test left, the japanese test for the technical college on saturday, have no idea how that will turn out but I will do my best!

In the last post I wrote that I was gonna post some of my "recent" gets, and so I will. I just say God bless the wonderfully cheap yen.

Fell in love with this CECIL McBEE bracelet the second I saw it, since it was so cheap I hope it won't break right away ><

I don't know when was the last time I bought a more "classy"
eau de toilette (like 5 years? xD), this one is Koda Kumi's LOVE NOTE, and it smells wonderful and the fragrance actually stays on for +3hours.

Got this ring as an early christmas present from my bf, owls! <3<3

Boots from INGNIS, I know my feet will hurt like hell for the first week or so, as is the case with all hard shaped boots… But I really like how they fit great with all my outfits!

Saw this in the same shop as the owl-ring, and decided to come back there a few days later to buy it haha.

 
Got these ones from a ridiculously cheap sale, finally I own a pair of nice black pumps! (even though they look blue in the photo…)

A dress for like 70kr from Forever 21, can't wait for summer when I'll get to wear it!

And Toy Story is on TV tonight, boy will I watch it! I haven't seen it for probably 10 years or so but I love it so much. Wonder if I can choose the english language option for this one, if not it will be awesome japanese practice.

So until next time~

Hakone and Sea Paradise!

Wow it's already the middle of December! Not that you could have guessed it judging from the weather though, today it was thunder and raining hard. The good thing is the daylight lasts much longer compared to Sweden where it's dark most of the time during winter…

Anyhow thought I should post some pictures from my adventures in Hakone and at Sea Paradise!

First out is Hakone
Mt Fuji!

 
Hot spring





 
Black eggs boiled in the hot spring


Next up Sea Paradise



 
Got to do some fishing haha


 
Also we got to eat the fishes we had caught, yummie!

 
Santa has changed his job a bit...


Both these trips were so much fun! Just being able to relax and enjoy the day with friends and loved ones. It's too bad Sea Paradise is so far away from where I live or I would definitely go there more often.

Also the yen is crazy low right now compared to the krona so I'll post some pictures of some recent gets next time, so stay tuned folks!

Selling stuff!

OK, so I have a couple of items in really good condition that I wanna sell, mostly because I need to make space in my most.

First up is a Cecil McBEE coat, it's pretty much as new and really comfy, and unexpectedly warm. I can't find a size written so I guess it's free size, but it's a tight fit model.



Second item is a Liz Lisa bag, had it for about 6 months, also very good condition, only the golden color on the metal have become a bit silver'ish in some places.
