Collective Haul

In the last few months I only bought things I really wanted. When I reorganized my things I realized that I had few things that I really liked to wear or use on a daily basis. I can feel how I'm changing ^^

I got this bracelet and earring from Accessorize.

 I love the heart shape and the easy style.

I stopped at the MAC store 2 months ago. Since then I'm using these products nearly 5 days a week.

I got the powder blush in Pinch O'Peach, the Blotting Powder in Medium and the lipstick in Speed Dial. I love the blotting powder! It's perfect for summer, when I get oily very soon. This is very long lasting, but I have to take more care to not look cakey. The colour and texture of the blush is wonderful and stays all day. I also like everything about the lipstick.

Last week I received Sana Soy Milk Q10 Essence and Sana Soy Milk Whitening Cream from Adam Beauty.

I love japanese product packaging! 

Sana Soy Milk Q10 Essence:

Luxurious beauty essence quickly sinks into skin without leaving a heavy or sticky feeling behind. Fermented soymilk, CoQ10 and isoflavone moisturize skin for renewed elasticity and suppleness. Upon application, skin feels smoother and healthier with an attractive luster. Can also be used as a makeup base. Best for dry and sensitive skin types. By SANA.

Sana Soy Milk Whitening Cream: 

Lavish face cream treats skin to unparalleled skin whitening and hydrating with arbutin and natural soymilk. Powerful water binders trap moisture close to skin's surface to keep skin supple and hydrated round the clock. After cleansing and toning skin, gently massage cream evenly on skin and pat in until fully absorbed. Colorant and mineral free formula makes it suitable even for sensitive skin types. By SANA.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Germany you are able to get a lot of skin care products in pharmacy stores (like Avene, Vichy, La Roche Posay, Skin Ceuticals etc.). I love to stop by the pharmacy regularly to check them out^^

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream

Last time I saw a japanese girl with flawless skin introducing the above cream to her friends. I was so curious I had to try myself haha. Until now it doesn't break me out. It's parabenfree and contains thermal water from Vichy. It has a pleasant scent and a very nice texture. However it's a very rich cream and maybe more suited for winter. I absolutely adore this cream!

Do you have such products in your pharmacy?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 My first product from Kiehl's is the Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-free Toner for all skin types. It doesn't break me out. Also I like the herbal scent and the fresh feeling on my skin. I can feel how it moisturizes my skin!

 The other one is Esteny Hot Curvy Oilgel by Sana:

Body-slimming oil warms up upon application to boost skin metabolism and break up fat cells by inducing sweating. Chili pepper warms up skin to produce perspiration, while garana seed extract hydrates and conditions skin for a softer and more supple feel. While in the shower, massage Hot Curvy Oil Gel over problem areas, leave on for a few minutes and then rinse off. By SANA.

 I use this body scrub spontaneously. Especially in summer I feel I have to do more for my skin. I can feel instantly the difference. My skin is more smooth and less dry. I think is better than normal body scrub. But I didn't sweat because of it and I think it doesn't break up any fat cells lol. It's just a nice addition to any body skin care.

I'm happy I started using Burt's Bees Lip Balm. Beside the heavy smell of honeycomb, it is amazing how it moisturizes my lips.

I got this L'Oreal Caresse Lipstick in Dating Coral. A very nice peachy and transludent colour. I'm thinking of getting more colours of this range cos it's just perfect for summer!

Got these from H&M a week ago. I'm in love with this pink/salmon colour *v*!! 

Recent Hauls ^-^~

Recently I got some packages I ordered awhile ago and want to share with you what I got ^^~

From sasa

I used their free shipping promotion to get some things I really wanted to try for long
The expedited shipping was really fast!

Lunasol Skin Modeling Eyes in Beige Orange and Canmake stuff :3

I received my apopofkawaii haul not so long ago. And finally have the time to do a post about it. It came with a kawaii christmas packaging. (^-^)

Here is what I got <3 (even with present like last time -> the Helly Kitty oil blotting paper)

I have to say that I ordered this time cos Nicola had a sale on her blog with Lunasol palettes. It was a good deal, but I came too late for my first choice. But had luck with this palette too :3

The Skin Modeling Eyes in Beige Orange. I love the packaging ('-')"

What they say on the website:

What eye makeup makes the skin look most beautiful?
This four-color eyeshadow set is LUNASOL´s answer to that question.
We have created the ultimate combination of beige-based colors in which coloration, glow and clarity are all elaborately calculated.
Shadows stand out and dimensions are added to your eyes as you apply each subtle glow in sequence.
Brush the Modeling Highlight lightly onto your eyelid to finish off and the highlight instantly blends into your skin, causing the skin to glow with its own inherent beauty.
Lucent Color Pigments that radiate color when exposed to light make it possible for every skin type to look beautiful.
Skin Modeling Eyes imparts a dramatic appearance to your eyes and purifies your facial expression.
The Eye Shadow that only LUNASOL could create has now been realized.

Yup, this is my first Lunasol palette... so I made lots of pics sorry! lol (;^;)"

You can't see how glittery it is actually on the previous pics. So I made one with flash too.

Swatches... also an EOTD with this will be onward this post :3

I so love this palette... I wanted colours I could use for everyday make-up and found a really good one. Also it was not that orange than I thought. So it lightens your eyes and give them a warm colour too. The lightes shade is really shimmery xD I know why ppl like Lunasol so much now (^-^) This will be not my last palette from Lunasol for sure :< !

Got two new Canmake Nudy Glow Rouge in Sugar Milk Tea and Honey Latte.

Swatches... from left Sugar Milk Tea and Honey Latte.

Got also from Canmake the Cream Cheek in Cream Nut. I wanted this shade cos I didn't want to be always pink. I also thought this could be a good shading colour. But that purpose the results are not that optimal. So I will look around for a better shading colour. Any recommendations? (;^;) Also the size is very small for a blush. But I think this is quite usual for japanese make-up. But that's okay for me cos I have problems to finish the products anyway.

Swatches:

From Canmake again... the Eyeshadow Base. Honestly this is my first eyeshadow base (>-<) *blush* So I don't have anything I could compare with. Any recommendations on good eyeshadow bases?

It is creamy and has a very fair colour <3

Also got the Canmake Slim Browliner in Light Brown cos I wanted to lighten my hair a bit more and hence I need more lighter brows I wanted to try this :3 Again it is a very small pen.

Swatches:

And at last from Majolica Majorca the Artistic Nails (Jewelling Line) in purple. Well... I didn't know that this one is so lucent and have a very fine applicatior. I guess it is for subtelties? Also I don't know yet how to use it... so again any good ideas? (´-`)

 

And my first EOTD (>-<) I'm sorry if it looks strange lol (;^;)" It's actually really hard to do a good photo! So my respect for other beauty bloggers out there xD

Without flash:

With flash:

Finished :3 I know it's nothing special and not perfect at all. It's just my everyday look (>-<)" and I probably used too much products that you can't even see anyway XD

Happy xmas holidays! (^-^)

First entry, Candy Doll lipstick in Ramune Pink and randomness :)

Hello everyone :)

I have been thinking about blogging for a long time... and finally it's time!

But actually I didn't know with what to start with. So I decided to just make an random post at first lol

Lately I have been into beauty related stuffs especially from asian brands. I bought some make up from HERE and want to share some pictures of it. Btw I love this shop. It's a great way to get hands on some Candy doll and Canmake stuffs directly from Japan.

I was specially curious about the new Candy Doll lipstick in Ramune Pink. Basically because I'm such a Tsubasa fangirl and I just love here promotion pics for it XD The lipstick has a really nice nudy pink color and goes on very smoothly.

I also got the Lipgloss in Strawberry Milk to layer it with the lipstick.

The applicator is in sponge type and the formular is not sticky. With both you can really get the soft pink lips many gyaru models have.

Ramune Pink and Strawberry Milk

Last Monday I tried out Japanese Curry by Yumeko. It took me 2 hours to finish cooking but it was worth the effort. Perhaps it took so long for me because I cut so many carrots and potatos just to follow her instructions to froze it. So next time I will have it a lot easier for sure XD

Please visit her site for the recipe :)

I left out some of the ingredience such like instant coffee and Worcestershire sauce... The packages of instant coffee are so large and I don't drink coffee at home so I decided to try without it. And concerning the Worcestershire sauce... I just don't know what it is (T_T). Perhaps that is the reason why my picture looks different compared to hers. But I was so happy to find S&B curry powder in the store... but when I opened it, it wasn't powder but a whole piece. So I threw everything in lol

It tasted so good! We tried it with Udong noodles too and it was even better (*_*) 

I told some friends that they will find some pictures of me on my blog too. I'm wearing here some Circle lenses that I bought during my trip to China this summer. I like them but my bf said they are freaky and I look like an alien lol

I hope you had a great weekend! (^_^)
