Crazy new years sale in Tokyo!

And so I'm back from my one week trip to Fukuoka and Tsuyama! It had a great time and as soon as I manage to organize the pictures me and my bf took I'm gonna write more about it, so look forward to some beautiful photos ^^

Anyhow since new years just passed it means one big thing for the shopaholics in Japan, the crazy new years sale! And it really is crazy, with the yen being as cheap as it is you can buy loads of stuff without it burning holes in your wallet. Just as last year I headed into the shopping spree together with my partner in crime Johanna. This year I skipped the fukubukuro's (the lucky bags you can buy at stores that cost around 1万(600kr) but contains random clothes for about 4 times that money. I'd rather buy stuff I really want and this year I wasn't that interested in clothes anyhow. I already had some things in mind that I needed so I went on a hunt for that instead, and this is what I got away with, all from 109~

My old sunglasses had gotten a lot of scratches on them so I got these ones from MA＊RS 

I have two dresses that's a bit too "revealing" for my tastes so I bought this (actually the shirt version of this dress, couldn't find pic) to have under, and it still looks great!

I'm not really a fan of  F&V's clothes and accessories and to be honest I never thought I wold own a hat like this model, but after trying it on it actually looked really good when I have my hair loose and ruffled, it will go great with some outfits. 

Yay a new makeup bag from MA＊RS , outgrew my old one ages ago but I've just been to lazy to buy a new one... 

Also got two pairs of spring/summer shoes that I guessed no one wanted anymore, I really don't mind if it's still in fashion or not, it goes well with my clothes and were super comfy, that's enough for me. 

A while ago I came across a new years time sale while browsing Rakuten and got stuff for so dirt cheap it's almost crazy, can't wait to get it next week!

Now I can start pretending that I look forward to school starting again on wednesday, wihooo...

Until later~

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~

A dolled up blog!

New design on the blog~ Yes, I finally managed to make it look more appealing, and no I have not made the design, I found the blog of a very talented person who used to make these, sadly she has quit now  http://itkupilli-cutencool.blogspot.jp

But anyhow, I've been thinking for a long time about what direction this blog should take. There's really not that much going on around me and several times I've been thinking if I should start write more about fashion and styling instead, kind of like an inspirational blog. And yes, I've decided to go with the latter. Of course I'll write about other stuff as well but I feel I need to have a theme for this blog if I'm gonna be motivated to write in it. I would like to be able to update it every one or two weeks, but we'll see.

Right now I'm sitting around waiting for an important letter to be delivered since I of course missed the delivery yesterday -__- I hate having to wait for these things since I can't go anywhere. But once I get that letter I can finally send in all papers to the technical college! Like, FINALLY, all this paperwork have been stressing me out so much, and I still can't relax since I don't know if I can get study support for this school, which means if I can't get that I won't have the proper aid to enter this school, and it's totally up to a special study council in my country to approve this school, scary…

Also I went to Sea Paradise in Hakkejima this past saturday, it was so much fun! I went there with my bf and a friend of ours so the company was great, it was the first time in at least 4 years that I rode a roller coaster, and it was the biggest one I had tried yet, think I felt like I was gonna die at least 3 times during that ride haha. I don't really like roller coasters so I don't know why I always end up riding them… Anyhow I'm gonna post pics later!

I don't know why against my better knowing I always end up buying this cheap crappy make up, just because it's CHEAP. So Last night I ordered this mascara from Rakuten, Lancome Doll Eyes.

I've heard good things about it so I hope I will like it! Also gonna get myself a new eye liner since my current one stays on for about 30min...

And yay finally the letter arrived ^___^ Time to get down to business with paper work!

Take care!
