Hiiii! I'm in a real hurry to meet up a friend, but here's a quick video update! Can't believe it's been like 2years since I made a videopost..


Anw, have a nice weekend everyone!! LOVE!

Organizing!

Hello!

Today I havn't been up to anything special. Just sitting here enjoying the last hours of this Sunday. Though I'm really excited to get back to school tomorrow!

I also did some economic organizing.. or at least I tried by writing down everything I bought this month. I usually don't do this but lately I came to realize that it's a lot easier to plan the coming month if I do. This will deffinately be a regular thing for me..

Last friday I had my first gel nail art class. It was so much fun, I can't wait until next friday! I also got most of the tools and materials I ordered. So happy we get a real discount through school, or else I would never afford it. Also got a UV lamp so I can practice at home as well. 

But I won't talk more about nails today.. I was just thinking about uploading some pictures I took the other day when I had a lazy day at home.. seems that those lazy days results in me taking a lot of pictures of myself.. lol.

Also find some pictures that I was supposed to upload a million years ago, but never did.. I don't remembered what I did that day, but I do remembered I had a hard time deciding on which one of the tops I should wear. I ended up with the outfit at the right.

Now I have to go back to my economic organizing, haha. I just thought it might be easier putting everything into the computer because I'm really bad keeping track of all these papers and documents and stuff that's laying around. And everytime you need them you have to turn the whole room upside down before you find them. Usually turns out they were very much visible from the really start, haha.

See you!

Pixie dust!!

Hello everyone!

As you know I'm having a hard time coming up with things to blog about.. but since my friend Sofia suggested I could just blog about whatever I do everyday I figured that's what I'm gonna do.. or keep on doing. 

Though I haven't been up to anything that exciting lately.. haha.

I usually wake up around noon these days.. for no reason actually.. I can't tell if it's because I'm extremely lazy or if I'm really exhausted. Maybe both xD

Last week, however, I decided to have a little spa time for my contacts because I realized some of them could really need some care after not being used in a long while. So after I cleaned out every single case and filled them with new liquid I also washed and rubbed every single lens so they're fresh and clean for use at any time.

You may think I'm usually not keeping them clean or change the liquid, but that's not the case, haha. It's just that when you have so many pairs to choose from but still have some favorites, you usually end up using those you like the most and then forget about the others for a long time (at least I do). That's when they end up not getting taken care of or getting the liquid changed - which actually has to be done every now and then even if they're stored in their cases all the time. I don't know why but the liquid tends to get thick and cloudy (?) after a while even if you cleaned the lenses and changed liquid just before you store them. 

Someone else had this "problem"?

Anyway they're super fresh now - as good as new^^

I also tried out some new things lately that I thought about sharing with you guys..

You may already seen or tried out this kind of tattoos before but for me it was the first time and I really liked it^^ They start out with transfering the design you want to the skin with some kind of inked paper.. I may sound totally lost about this - and in fact I am since I haven't got any real tattoos either. Anyway, when it's there they simply fill in all the contures with some glue and then they spread PIXIE DUST all over it :D The result is so cute and you don't even have to worry about it coming off in the shower (as long as you don't rub it too hard). First I though the glue was similar to eyelash glue, haha... but apparently not because it lasts so much longer. It actually stays on for about 2 weeks if you're careful with it!

This was just a sample they did in a restaurant so they only had small motives at the time, but I'd love to try out something bigger if I get the oppurtunity. Obviously it's nothing I would pay for if there's no special event, but still I think it was fun and cute. And you can get it with rhinestones too!!^^

The second thing is this facial cream from Sulwhasso I got as a present from a Korean friend who came to Japan on a bussiness trip last week. I didn't expect him to buy something for me so that was a really sweet gesture^^
It's a firming cream so it's basically for restoring healthy looking skin. I can't say I have seen any differences yet, but maybe I will, we'll see ;) It contains ginseng, honey, licorice and citrus extracts so at least it smells nice^^

From tomorrow I'm also taking nail art classes in school and hell yeah I'm excited! I wanted to take this class last year but since I figured it'd be better to take interior related classes (which is my major after all) I simply just let go of the nails. Though now, when I've taken all the interior classes I wanted I decided to give it a go. I really hope I can improve, so wish me luck!^
^

I wanna blog so bad lately but my brain refuses to give me any good ideas of what's interesting blogging about and what's not. I had a morikata post that I started on a while ago but it doesn't feel up to date anymore...

My mum was here for my graduation a couple of weeks ago. To bad I wasn't able to graduate since I failed my graduation project. So now I have to stay in school for another 6months. I guess that's pretty mych all that's new at the moment and it feels so boring now that my mum has gone back home. 

I'm trying to entertain myself doing new nails but I cannot seem to come up with any nice designs for them.. gaah, haha. But I guess I'll upload some pictures of them when they're done anw.

So I guess this was just a quick update on how bored I am right now, lol. I wanna go back to regularly blogging again, it's been ages.

Review - Vassen Vanila shake

Hello everybody! It's been a while since I did a review (or even a post) so I'm gonna upload one for you now :3

Some weeks ago I got contacted by Loveshoppingholics.com and got the chance to do a sponsored review for them! Since it's my first sponsorship ever it made me really happy and I'm also glad to be able to do a review for such a cute site!

Anyway. 

The lenses I got to review are from the Vassen Vanila shake series - brown color. They came in this super cute little box along with a sweet message card and a lens case. And this was all wrapped up in a cute gift bag.. which I unfortunately don't have any picture of (>__<)

 

Well, on to the review.. swooooosh....

So these lenses are from Korea, like many other cute and funny lenses. They come in five different colors - pink, blue, gray, green and then least but not last, the color I've made this review from - brown.

Direct link to all colors at loveshoppingholics website here ---> Vanila Shake

These lenses comes in prescription from 0.00 to -8.00 for brown and gray color. Green, blue and pink are only available in 0.00 at the moment but I really hope they'll get them in other prescriptions because I have -1.75 and really would love to try out some of the other colors too!

I really like the color of these lenses. Eventhough they're "brown" they still have a slight mixture of blue and I think this makes them more interesting - though I actually expected them to be browner than they actually are. Also the black outline is kinda rough which makes the lenses look smoother and not so intense against the white part of the eye.

About blending for the inner line, I think that they're blending quite well. But this could be because the mixture of blue and brown looks really similar to the color close to the pupil of my own eyes. Still it looks much more "natural" than I thought when I first saw the picture of them. Besides that the design really edgy and really catches ones eye. 

Natural, but still someting extra may be a good way to explain them?

I've been wearing these lenses almost everyday since I got them because I love them so much. I tried them out both with heavy and lighter makeup as well as with no makeup at all.. and the truth is I think they look good in all three cases. Also they're not too big, but still has a good enlargement effect.
Another good thing is that they're really comfy! I know it's not recommended to wear contacts for too many hours a day, but they're actually so comfy I forget that I'm wearing them at all. Once I caught myself waking up still wearing them.. but trust me, I usually tke my contacts out before going to bed since I know it can damage your eyes really bad if you don't.. or wear them for too long.. been there, done that ;P haha.

And last, but deffinately not least I want to THANK loveshoppingholics.com so much for giving me the opportunity to make this review and I hope you all liked it. Also feel free to use the discount code in the sidebar ;)

Fever :(

You might have noticed a slight change in the layout? That's because I'm thinkng of getting a new one.. including header ofc ;) But til the time I make a new header I'll just leave it as it is...

Have been awfully busy with finals in school and will be busy until the end of this week. Then I hope it'll finally slow down again. And just because I can't - I caught a cold and fever.. hope I'll get better until tomorrow because I really have to go to school!

I haven't been taking so much pictures lately either, but I had some at my instagram :)

Water leak, new year's plans and two outfits^^

It's been quite a while since the last entry and I have been busy as always. And today I woke up to realize it's raining in my kitchen! Haha. Apparently the guy who lives two floors above me left the water on and also had mountains of trash in his kitchen causing that the apartment below got a huge (and dirty) water leak all over the place.. and this leak spread all the way to my kitchen two floors down.. though, when I saw what the apartment above looked like after the leak I was really happy that it was only the ceiling over my sink that was leaking. But I still wasn't really happy about the security company ringing my doorbell 4 times between 1AM and 3AM.

Last of all the guy who caused the whole circus came down and apologized. I was surprised when I saw the pictures of his dirty apartment because ha was a good looking guy in nice suit and neat hairstyle... but I guess you can be a pig anyway. Looked like he had been collecting trash since last year and now I'm getting a bit worried about roaches...eew...

Anywaaaay.....

Two weeks ago I got a job so I've been working a lot but I had some time off during Christmas so I had the chance to celebrate a calm Christmas eve (yes, swedish people celebrate on Christmas eve, not Christmas day^^) with Jonna since neither of us could go home to Sweden this year. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from Christmas except these of hair and outfit for the day. 

I couldn't sleep the day before so I got up really early and decided to try out a new updo^^ It was such a long time ago since I dolled up like this so I though Christmas eve would be a perfect day to do something extra!

Below you can see how the hairdo looks in detail. It's pretty easy actually. Just a high ponytail shaped into a suji mori. But it took a lot of time (;___;)

Outfit;
Shirt: Skinny Lip
Skirt: GinaTricot
Belt: Yumetenbou
Stockings: Yumetenbou (I think?!)
Boots: Nissen.jp

The next outfit is what I wore today. I had to deliver a late Christmas present for my friend and I was just going out for a short while so I just put it up into a fake bob and topped it with a hat.. though the hairstyle didn't show that much since it was basically covered by it xD

Maybe this outfit would have been better for Christmas than the other one, but I didn't get the clothes delivered until after Christmas so that's why..

All the items are from Yumetenbou exept from the boots and the hat :3

I really love the cardigan and the leggings!!

Some detail shots of my new favorites...

 

So now I'm trying to figure out what to wear for the count down tomorrow during drinking my coffee.. I'm usually not so found of New Year's eve at all, but I'm really looking forward to go to Jonna's place and just have a nice time with my friends. We're all so busy lately we barely get the chance to meet up. 

I was invited to come celebrate the new year with my co-workers at the place where I work and bring my friends there, but I still don't know. I guess it depends on what we feel like tomorrow. 

Anyway I hope you're all doing something fun tomorrow and I'm wishing you all the best and..

A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sofia&Kiwi in Japan +StarCafe event

Hey everyone!

I bet you wonder where I've been gone to the past few weeks. Mostly I've been busy with school and I take every single chance I get to work on the posts I have been talking about writing. Though - to be honest - I'm kinda stuck right now..

But anyway.. Sofia and Kiwi had a trip to Japan again this year so we decided to meet up for some chatting and purikura. My classmate Itoh joined us as well and I had a really great time.. too bad we only had time to meet once. But that's still better than not at all :3

Here are some of the purikuras we took that night. And since Halloween was around the corner there was a lot of Halloween themed stickers to use for decorating^^

In one of the booths we had to pick a group name but we couldn't come up with anything that was short enough to fit the limited amount of characters.. that's when I came up with this random "Mumumu" ...don't ask xD

 

Too bad I didn't take so many pictures.. kinda try not to use my phone camera too much since it's so bad quality, but at least I managed to snap this photo of Sofia, Kiwi and Itoh at the game center^^

 

And this picture is actually stolen from Sofia's facebook :3 (hope you don't mind sweetie:*)

This is such an offshot of me... I overslept for school so I ended up just wrapping my hair into a dango, then I was off to school all day and me and Itoh had to hurry a lot after coming back from it so I didn't had any time to do anything about it (;___;) at least I was wearing makeup.. could have been worse^^ lol

Well well. After the purikura we went to see some other Swedes at another izakaya but didn't stay for too long since Sofia and Kiwi had to head back to the hotel (which was actually rediculously close to my house!). Me and Itoh followed them half way back before we headed off to StarCafe to see some friends. It was Itoh's first time at StarCafe and she seemed a little bit nervous at first but got along with everybody just fine, which made me happy too :3

All girls lined up^^ Sorry for the crappy cell phone quality (;___;)

Actually these are the people I hang out with mostly nowadays and this week I finally had enough time to go watch a live AND take part in the uchiage (afterparty) afterwards. 

It was a StarCafe event so the bands playing were mostly bands that includes the bar staff. Anti feminism, Hagakure, Jack'you and Shedia was a few of the bands that played. 

I really enjoyed the live and it was really nice to finally see my friends perform^^ Though I was a little bit scared by all the crushed glass, fire and blood during Anti feminism, haha.

The uchiage was so much fun too! The place was crowded but the more the merrier ;)
Here's some pictures I took that night.. again with crappy quality so please forgive me :(

So that's a few things that I've been up to besides school. Speaking of school.. I really don't want to think about how busy I'm gonna be from like next week until graduation. But I'll do my best to keep everything up!

Hope you're all doing well and don't catch a cold.. me myself am in the risk zone I think.. it's so hard deciding on outfits when the weather and temperature goes up and down like a jojo.

Take care now, see you soon!

Lens review: i.Fairy Rose Pink

So, here comes the other lens review I prepared^^

These lenses are also from I.Fairy (Rose series, color: Pink) that I ordered from ISZO.

Even though they're the exact same size as the Trinity grey lenses they actually look a lot bigger irl! I really like the pattern but I have to admit they'd look much better on dark colored eyes since they're kinda 'sharp'. But still they're very pretty and really catch peoples attention ;) They also work great with heavier makeup!

As my eyes are getting better and better I barely have any problems at all with these lenses. They're super comfy most of the times so I can't complain about them! Happy costumer, haha :)

 

So this is how they look with and without flash :) Actually I expected them to give me more of that "derp" look that some contacts with sharp prints can do. But they don't do so much which make me happy! Though they will always look a little bit displaced since my eyes are so light colored.

So here goes my ratings for these lenses:

Enlargement:

★★★★★

Color and blending:

★★★★☆

Comfort:

★★★★☆

Over all:

★★★★☆

So.. another pretty short review but they're overall great lenses so I can't say so much about them except from what's already been said^^ Hope you enjoyed it anyway^^

Quick update

Hey everyone!
I'm not gonna upload any pictures or anything like that today. Just wanted to inform you about that I'm currently working on another review and also a new post for "Morikata - top to toe". I have a lot of new readers and this "Morikata..." may be new to you guys. Though it's a veeeeery long time since I made the first post about it - and that's down to one post only actually. Feel a little bit ashamed about it.
But recently I feel inspirated to make more posts for it and I really want it to become a routine for the blog.

I took a look at the previous post (you can find it here) and really feel it could be much better than that so I'm working on it. I'm working on this tips and trix post about eyelashes right now but it seems to take longer than I first expected so please hold on for it. It's in progress so I hope it won't take too long before it's ready to be published.


I hope you're all doing good. I have been enjoying a looong weekend, but unfortunately I have to get back to school and reality tomorrow. Hope you had a nice weekend as well :)

See you soon!!

Good night!
