Getting Fit With Hello Kitty

I've always laughed at these but this one I could actually buy if I had the money!

Taking A New Page

I have not posted anything in along time but I think my problem is that make up is not my life. My life is so much more and I think that now I want to share those things with other people, have conversations and share ideas. Of course I might still post about cosmetics but I want to talk about so many other things that are going in my life. I don't want to start a new blog for this, I'm just going to extend this one. I hope it will be enjoyable for me and the readers.

My Asian Inspiration

I know what I want to look like. Here's some samples:



There's no way I can look like that though since I'm not asian. But I can still mimic the clothes, hair and make up.Also asians use different kind of expressions from what I'm used to over in my country. Girls are not cute here, they need to be flaming hot and look like they can punch you. I also think western people have a different kind of view on being hot. Girls look slutty over here! That's why I admire the softness and kindness asian girls can have. I was teased a lot in school for being too kind. I also wish we had school uniforms here. But maybe I will get a chance to use one in cosplay/theme parties.

Sometimes It Hits Me

Don’t you just hate it when there’s so much stuff you want but zero money? It’s like you feel like you can’t live your life to the fullest. I know it’s a sin to rely so much on money but money provides you so much things in life. Especially when you’re not in good terms with your family and don’t have close friends like me! But maybe one of these days things will change…maybe. I’ve been thinking about writing more because maybe I will come up with something other people want to read? Also I blame the fact that everything, I mean everything is so freaking expensive here! More expensive than in most countries. And even though I pay a lot for some sweater it will break easily. So it’s irritating to buy something you like but have no quality. Makes me feel bad when I watch american girls on youtube and how they have so much different kind of clothes and make up even though they live in a state where they have maybe one two seasons… I don’t mean to sound depressing but sometimes it just hits me how stupid it is to live here. So what I’m left with is dreaming. Dreaming of a happier future.

Though I have bought a lot of make up since my last cosmetic related posts so I should do those. And maybe talk more about what direction I want to take.

How To Become More Gyaru

There's some stuff I need to do to become more the way I want to be. I need to start to use more make up so I get more practise. I need to take better care of my appearance and diet. I need to be more considerant of the clothes I buy. There's so much stuff I want to buy online. I wish I had the money. But I know I will do it!

Thing is that I have a buttload of make up so I don't need to waste money on basic stuff. But I keep finding these super cute asian ones online. I wish I didn't have so much western ones so I wouldn't feel bad about getting more.

A New Beginning

I have made a decision.

It doesn't matter what has happened and what will happen.

It doesn't matter if I'm not perfect or good enough for my dreams.

I'm still going to go for them.

It's not anyone elses business what I am.

It's mine

It belongs to me

I know I almost stoppen posting stuff here mostly because I haven't had time to do so but now I will start to do so. And I will talk about more things than just make up. I mean life's so much more than that and if I don't start now, when will I? Before I had more personal blogs but they usually died because that problem I talked about got solved or disappeared... Or I don't know. The point is now I'm gonna try to do things differently. Also adding a nice picture ♥

More Stuff 2 Put On Your Face

So I got some more stuff... Now that I think about it, if I had been more patient I could have been just fine with only one. But.... I just couldn't wait for my new BB Cream to get on the mail so I ended up trying the Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid.

_______________________________________________________

Skin79 Pink Super Plus Blemish Balm BB Cream

Before you even try the product, you have to embrace all the things it provides in only one bottle. The only thing I wasn't looking forewards to was the whitening effect. As a western girl I've learned to admire tanned skin, especially since I live in a country where summers are short. Also since I'm not asian, white skin will and does look unhealthy on me because people over here have very thin skin. This means that all my blood vessels will show even on my face if I'm skinny and fair skinned.

And back to the product itself. I wanted a BB Cream that is good to Oily and Combinated skin since the one I bought before[Lioele BB Cream] is too moisturizing for me at the moment. I can only use it during winter. So I put the Pink Super(Super Pink sounds better) on my face and I had good and bad surprises with it.

Firstly the smell was like an old womans perfume but I could tolerate it. Also it would face away after the BB Cream setteled on my face. Also when I squeezed it out the cream was coming from everywhere. I wonder if other people have this problem?

The good things I noticed were that the coverage was really good and the color evened out my skintone which is kind of reddish. Also even though the Maybelline one is supposed to hide your pores, I think the BB Cream did an even better job at that. Also it looked nice like it didn't need powder.

Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid

I saw the commercial and since I'm so touchy about my pores, so of course I wanted to hide them with this. Also I had seen so many girls rave about it on Youtube and especially this one girl looked so flawless with it.

It didn't have a scent and the color was nice. Though when I applied it to my skin, it ended up looking oily. Powder did fix it a little bit but I wasn't pleased. Also the tiny bumps that I did have on my skin looked bigger and it looked caky. This will propably look better if you have normal skin that is perfect. In other words it's like meant for people who don't need foundation.

So definitely if you still wonder if you should get a BB Cream, just DO IT! It's better, cheaper and in the long run more healthier for your skin.

P.S. About the background. I do have that perfume but it's not my favorite. I just wanted to add some color into the picture.

BB Cream For Oily/Combination Skin

Are you like me and just love BB creams but can't wear one because most are very moisturizing and you happen to have oily/combination skin? Do all asians have dry skin? Are BB creams only for people that are asians?

Thing is that there ARE BB creams for oily/combination skin. You just need to look for them a little more. I'm gonna post a list of the BB creams that I have an interest in. This is for all those people that suffer from oilyness more or less. Note that I have not tried these products. I may buy some of them in the future and have my own say about them but for now, it's only what the market promises.

Japanese Magazines

Asian magazines are so superior to western magazines. Though this might be a taste issue but I feel that you pay for adds instead of the actual stuff. The biggest difference to me is way more pictures. To me, pictures tell so much more than just text. Also I love japanese street style and gyaru. To tell you the truth I don't know what was the point of this post xD

New Maybelline!

Finally, FINALLY the new Pearl shades hit the store over here. So of course I had to get some! These are from the Color Sensational line that at least in my opinion, has given more quality to drug store products. A lot of the colors are very wearable. I like the lip glosses even though I'm a bigger fan of matte products. So I'll talk about the products I got individually.

Color Sensational Pearl Lipstick in "Pearly Pearl"
I have to say that when I saw the actual color, I was a little scared. Luckily it doesn't give you a "corpse look" like a stronger pigmented lipstick propably would have. It compliments your own lip color very well. If you would like a nudy lipstick instead of a lip gloss, this would be for you. Also it's perfect for example your school/work make up bouch.

Color Sensational Cream Gloss in "Nude Pearl"
Before I even tried it on, the lovely scent made me decide that I'm gonna take it. When I put it on for the first time even my husband said: "You smell like America. It's so good and juicy!". I mean if someone who sees you every day compliments on something, it must be making a difference in your appearance! I also like the fact that the color is very pigmented and nude but has tiny sparkles. Very wearable! Also I have to give a huge plus for the applicator.
