Christmas Nakayoshi

I've only bought Japanese fashion magazines before, but decided to order a manga one. I have no regrets even though I can't read it....yet. It also came with a comic calendar which I think is really cute and cool idea. Most calendars will just be thrown away because let's face it, they're boring! But now I have one year of my life in a comic book form! How neat is that? I will post pictures of the calendar later~

I can't believe I found this!

This page somehow is still up. Since I'm too tired to make a new blog I might as well continue in here. I haven't been as much to make up lately, but I'm sure when I'm not posting about beauty, it will be related to Asian culture one way or the other. Though no one better not shoot me if there is a post that has nothing to do with beauty or Asia!

Anyway has anyone else seen these new Tamagochi's? They're so adorable and kawaii! I think they're called Tamagochi P but I have no idea why. Is it because it's generation P? Or because they're princesses? I'm dying to get a White one but they're expensive and still only in Japanese. I think I'll wait till they are in English so I will understand what is going on with my pet :D

I moved

So if you want to follow my new blog that is about my life in general too but I'm going to do make up reviews etc. too, visit http://kisu-chu.livejournal.com/

Reviews Ahead!

My friend is in Korea right now and she is going to bring me some products which I am excited to use and review! Before she left she even gave me this BB Cream I haven't come across before. Haven't tried it yet since it's summer and my skin is very oily. It looks really cool so I'm wondering if anyone has tried it yet. I will post a picture later!

BTW I'm thinking about getting bangs like that girl in the picture. Kawaii?

Know Your Skin

This is a... suggestion to all of you people who do makeup reviews. I guess this could be helpful for anyone who uses makeup or skincare in general.

When you review a product, you should know your skin type. If you don't, it wouldn't hurt to see a cosmetologist to get an official opinion on that. It will help you tremendously the next time you have to choose a product for yourself. My skin type for example, changes with the time of the year because the climate change between summer and winter is so dramatic. I use oily to combination skin products during summer and products for normal to dry skin during winter. It sucks because I have to use more money than someone who has the same skin type all year long.

But that was not my point here. Thing is that I read reviews, watch them on Youtube and sometimes I do wonder if the product that got the bad review is truly that bad. I came across once more a video where a girl first complains how dry her skin is and then says a product was bad for her because it was so very drying. Funny thing is that the problem is not in the product that is made for oily skin, it's in the user.

I know I can't change the world but I wish that more people would be more aware of this and would not give false reviews about products that aren't meant for them. Thank you.

My Cutest Powder

I was looking for an affordable powder from the Asian brands and this one really caught my eye. Most powders I see are round so this looked very different. I love the pink package and the product is really good on my skin. Sometimes maybe too "sandy looking" if put too much but other than that an excellent product. I highly recommend to anyone's make up collection.

Queen Concealer

I love shopping online. Where I live pretty much the 10 different kind of stores that sell make up have pretty much the same stuff. The products are lame and packaging is so boring I wonder who even buys that stuff unless it's an emergency.



So I bought this Holika Holika Dark Circle Stealer Eye Corrector. It was $12 so it's VERY affordable. Cheaper than the cheapest I could find here. And this one actually WORKS!!! It's the perfect color for my skin and is light even though it conceals well. It's perfect. There's no other way to describe it. Just makes me think how I bought with my graduation money a $60 Joe Blasco eye concealer that doesn't work as well and the shade is too dark for me.

Makes me wonder how much money could have I saved in the last 10 years if I had bought Korean cosmetics...

Holika Holika

I have a new love in the Korean make up brands. Holika Holika is everything I've wanted. I love the witch theme. A lot of their products have cats on them(total love!) and look really nice. I only have one product so far but I was so happy about it that I bet all their stuff is amazing(still have to wait and see). So here's the BB Cream I ordered from eBay. It's called the Clearing Petit BB Cream (blue). It's meant for oily skin which is a blessing. Right now it's summer over here and my skin can't stand dry/normal skin products. Most BB Creams out there are for dryer skin to prevent wrinkles so I felt that I have to buy normal department store foundations for summer. I still have my Biotherm one but I find that normal foundations don't give much coverage. This BB Cream has solved that. At first I felt like it was too covering but after I left it dry and put some blush on I looked like a person with really good skin. I couldn't be happier.

New Layout

I'm sure most of you can see that my blog has changed drastically. I really felt like the old one needed to go and I wanted to get something more cuter. I hope you all enjoy it(I do a lot).

I'm The Only Girl Gamer

I have to admit this side of myself. Yes I play games and probably should spend more time with girls! This side of me has grown even more after I met my husband. Also my best friend plays games but she kinda gets away with it since she is Asian. Recently we got a Xbox 360 (so happy) and Kinect for it. I love playing Adventurers and Dance Central. My husband has a Playstation 3(I bought him a new one for his birthday since it broke) and we both have PSP's and Nintendo DS's.

I used to play only computer games since my parents wouldn't allow me to have a game console. This changed a lot when I met my husband who bought me a DS and PSP. Thing is that my mom plays games too but talks bad about my husband playing games. The difference is that my mom enjoys Facebook games(which I think are the low cast of social games). I'm curious to hear what is YOUR mother or father hypocritical about?

Anyway if someone is interested in what I play etc. please leave a comment!

Summer Make Up Bag

Here's my make up bag right now. I bought it today from a shop called Day. It's made by Fluff. There was other ones too but for some reason I really wanted that one. I normally wouldn't have got something like that but I really liked it because it is edgy and has attitude. Also I love the pin up girl thing and leopard print has been huge for some time.

So now to the actual products:

Maybelline The One By One Volume Express in "brown"? (are they all brown?)
GOSH Intense Lip Colour in "301"
Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in "Nude Delight"
Ziaja Lip Balm in "Orange Butter"
GOSH Lip Gloss in "0083"
Skin79 BB Cream in "VIP Gold Collection"
Maybelline Dream Touch Cream Blush in "Peach"
The Body Shop Facial Blotting Tissue in "Tea Tree Oil"
Diesel Perfume in "Fuel for Life"

EXTRA! Ziaja is a cosmetic brand I came accross when I went to this shopping mall I hadn't been to before. It's a really great, affordable brand with great product lines. Do check out!

Booby Lifting

I'm on the chubbier side, I'm not gonna lie. Thing is that my boobs are even bigger, like way too big. Also not big in the nice, round and firm way. More like long and weird looking. And did I mention big? So anyway my husband bought me this coupon for a one time boob lighting treatment that I went to three days ago. I was really hoping to get a little smaller boobs. Thing is that I went there and the person put this big plastic "bra" on my boobs and then started changing the pressure inside them.

So for 45 minutes I was watching my boobs go up and down. I'm just kidding, I really was just relaxing and reading Cosmopolitan. It felt weird but not bad. More than anything, it was very relaxing and tiring. The worker said that this is because the different liquids inside my breasts started moving etc. Even though there wasn't a dramatic difference(also the worker said I need to do like at least 5 to really see the lift) there was definite changes. The skin on my breasts was a lot smoother. Where I have some strech marks the skin got so nice and I can barely see the strech marks. Also me and my husband are taking some before/after pictures(which I'm not gonna post, I hope everyone understands why) and they have went more up! I'm so excited! I went there today too and I'm gonna do 3 more next week. Can't wait for the final look!

The French Way

Here's a book for anyone who wants to lose weight or just want to learn to appreciate natural food. I haven't read it all yet but I'm over half way and it has helped me with portion sizes. It seems to be a huge problem for me that I need a lot of SMALL meals in a day. I like it more if I eat a lot but only once or twice a day. But of course this is not healthy. Check out this book <3

What Products I Use Before Bed

Hair:

• I haven't been doing this in a while but since my hair seems to be so damaged(and my hair keeps FALLING OFF) I've decided to start using Schwarzkopf's BC line Hair Growth Regime. It's in a small box and has a little funnel? or tube that makes it easier to get it to the scalp where it's needed. I think I would have to use this daily for a week or two to see the difference.




• Next is Avon's Advanced Techniques (Professional Hair Care) Intense Repair that is meant to put on your hair for the night. This works well since for some reason I use shampoo and conditioner for very dry/damaged hair and it still won't do the trick. So I think this helps the hair a little more. You have to wash it out in the morning. It feels weird though when you're laying in bed and your hair feels all greasy but at least it works.

Body:

• So the first thing is my H&M Body Lotion Hello Kitty Fruity Sorbet. It smells like these Pez candies I used to lose so much when I was a kid that I had to get this. This would be too light for me to use during winter but right now my skin isn't screaming for ultimate moisture. So definite buy when your skin doesn't demand much and you want to smell amazing!




• This one does not work for me at all. I use it still anyway since I bought it but I don't see results. Maybe If I had smaller boobs to begin with, it might work. Anyway Avon's Solutions Body Liquid Bra...not worth the money.




• Avon's Foot Works Foot Cream is just something I'm using since it smells divine. Vanilla with brown sugar is like one of the best smells I can think of. I wish I had more of these since I'm running out!




• This product I got on a sale and let me tell you, IT WORKS! Avon's Anew Clinical Trilaser Cellulite Corrector is really good and even better when you buy it on sale. It only needs one night to do the work for you and I was so shocked when I saw the difference for the first time.




• The last step is something I do now since it's summer to get some color for my skin. Right now it has been rainy and cold for few weeks(sunlight is not common over here even during summer!). I just got kind of annoyed last time because people could really see the lines where I had applied more product. So I just need to be more careful next time. But for someone who is on a budget, do try Dove's Summer Glow Body Lotion.

I'm going to do a post about my face cleaning routine later.

Been Busy

I haven't made a blog entry in a while because of school and looking for a job etc. but now I'm going to have more time+stuff to blog about! So I'm just gonna get started with that and I hope it will be enjoyable!

Bling Camera

So my dad dropped off a camera. And I totally decorated it with stickers that I have.

Self-tanning Products I Use

I've been using some self tanning lotions. The weather got so cold and cloudy suddenly that tanning outside hasn't been an option. Also I don't think it's healthy to use tanning beds.

So the ones I have are from Avon, Dove and Lumene. I tried to get as cheap stuff as I could that would still be good. I'll post some pictures of the products when my dad drops off a new camera for me tomorrow.

On my face I use Avon, Lancome and Oriflame tinted moisturizers.

Cuteness=Bad?

Before I go to my actual post I want to ask if anyone knows if there's specific purikura books or do people make them themselves?

Anyway on with the post. I knew my Rock&Roll phase was going to last only for a bit and now I'm again, head over heels into Gyary. I really like the more schoolgirl kind of look, I just don't know if I'm old enough to pull off a look like that. Well what does other people's opinions matter anyway? I should be abl e to dress the way I want right? I wish I could actually feel like that.
It's a sin to look cute over here. I think I mentioned this in an earlier post but I'm gonna talk about it again. I think cute is feminine and it makes me feel good. It's just that since I'm not asian or a foreigner in my country, there's no excuse to why I would be wearing cute stuff. Unless there's of course somenthing wrong with me.

Style Change For Summer

For the strangest reason that I can't explain, I'm really into rock fashion right now. I just bought today a pair of earrings that have tiny crosses on them and a black make up bag. I have to say it hasw kind of been on the bottom for some time but never got as strong as it is right now. I really want to get some rock type bag and band shirts... Also I bought Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara (red one) and it really makes your eyelashes long but not thick. I'm thinking I might have been happier with Maybelline's The One by One Mascara. I had the Falsies one before and I really liked it.

Wedding Cake

I want those two on top of my wedding cake when the time comes(again) ^_____^
