Colour me cute!

Using Lavshuca's Light Mix Eyes in BU-1, Long Length Mascara and Star Glow Rouge in PK. Excuse the horrible light, I don't know what went wrong there. When I checked the pictures on my camera's screen, they looked clear and bright. >.< featuring not yet healed breakout and Holika Holika's Petit Watery BB Cream - see the wall behind me? That's actually white. (And so is my face. O.o)

Dear fellow bloggers, dear (8) followers, I hope you had a lovely Christmas and will be spending a lovely New Year as well! I have been lazy on updates again, I know, and I'm really sorry, but I was busy. Yeah, that's what they all say. :( Plus, every time I say, write or even just think my skin finally looks better, I get the most horrible breakout! >.< Anyway, I bought some beauty items lately (as gifts to myself, hehe) which I will review when I get them. Even managed to find two dicontinued shades of Majolica Majorca single eyeshadows I've been wanting (light green and aqua blue) and the Lavshuca Dual Prism Eyes in PU-1. Now all I still want is the Color Select quad in PU-1 (I already have PU-2, which replaced PU-1 last year, I think, but I want the older purple one anyway.) If anyone wants to sell theirs, let me know! ;) I do have one eye of the day pic for you from last week, when I really wanted something springish to counteract the coldness and snow he...

Finally a picture of my face! (Finally, she says. *cough*) My skin still looks awful, but better than it did last month. I've been doing dead sea salt masks every other night - they burn like hell, but they're good for your skin. At least I can see an improvement. On the alternate nights, I've been doing sheet masks (Kosé Clearturn ones) which I shall review some other time. And now, pictures! (click to enlarge) The pictures look a bit redder than I do in real life, don't ask me why. Strange lightning, I guess. And please ignore my strange expression, it's hard to find the right angle for pictures. ^^; I was wearing: face: - Missha Perfect Cover M BB Cream in #13 - Alverde Concealer stick with tea tree oil in #01 - Rimmel Stay Matte powder (I forgot the #, but it is the lightest one available, although unfortunately, it has a bit of a yellow tinge. Plus, as much as I like how it really keeps my face matte (I don't know why I look shiny in the pictures...

I used Lavshuca's Eye Color Select palette in Br-1, blusher/highlighter duo in RD-2 and Liquid Rouge in RD-1. Also the loose powder Lucent on one side of my face - I powdered the other half with my usual Majolica Majorca powder to see if there's a difference. Time will tell. My base was the Missha Signature BB Cream sample in #21 I reviewed in the post before this. Also, I filled in my eyebrows with a no-name powder, put black gel-liner by Kate on my upper waterline and white My Color Pencil in white, also by Kate, on my lower waterline. And my beloved Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo, of course. It looks like my cell phone camera has a tendency to tone down red in pictures. The liquid rouge looks redder in real life, my blush disappeared in the picture (I didn't apply that much to begin with, though - living in Japan doesn't mean imitating their way of applying blusher.) Also, my hair started turning red. O.o I tolf you before that I got it dyed, and some ...

I promised you a picture of my new hairstyle last week, remember? Well, here you go! Uwah, I look super tired in the light! I had it cut and also got a treatment, but unfortunately, my hair still looks very frizzy, despite using all the treatment, heat protection and just skipping blow-drying at all. :( Plus, I had it dyed in a really dark colour which looked nearly black on the first day, but now, it is nearly back to my old brownish hue, just looking a bit more reddish. Huh? I should have known that my hair is undyeable, but how this happened when the hair stylist really dyed it is incomprehensible to me. I took a pic with my webcam this time, but the quality isn't much better than my cell phone. The contrast is too high - I'm not that white! And you can't really see my eye make-up, can you? I used Majolica Majorca's single white shadow all over the lid and then Kate's Gel Liner in black, on which I dabbed Anna Sui's single eyeshadow in a glitterish bl...

I am going to a hanabi (Japanese style firework) tonight, so I will put on the yukata I bought in Kyoto (well, let my friend put it on for me ^^;) and wear the furoshiki bag my students gave me yesterday. (What am I doing with my mouth?) I don't look that doll-like usually, my skin got enhanced by the flash and my eye shape by the make-up. xD Still blind from the flash light, btw. ^^;;; I used: face: - Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream # 21 mixed with Sekkisei's sun lotion - Majolica Majorca Pore cover powder (transparent) - Lavshuca Mix Color Cheeks in RD-2 (maybe I need to put on some more?) eyes: - Majolica Majorca single eyeshadow WT963 on my whole eyelid and as a highlighter - Lavshuca Eye Select Color in blue, the colour on the bottom left - Majolica Majorca Jewelling Eye Pencil in blue on my lower lash line (not sure if it wouldn't have looked better without it?) - Kate Gel Eyeliner in black - Kate My Color Pencil in white on my lower waterline Not...

Remember my review of Visée's Blossom Eyes ? I used the palette to create an eye look for a little "party" (at noon ^^;) today. The middle pink does show up nicely when you layer it a bit and pat it on more than wipe. Overall, a subtle, but shimmery look that hoopefully distracts from my dark circles I simply cannot get away with sleep or concealer. Exams, be over soon! (Exam facts: 4 more days, 2 more reports, 3 exams, 1 presentation left.) Sorry for the quality again - I had to do it with my cell phone's flash because without it, my eyes just looked dark. This room's light really is no good, I can't even plug my eyebrows properly in here.

Because everyone does it, I decided to show you a picture of my eye make-up. It's a look I wear a lot lately. (Gosh, my pores are HUGE! ;____;) I am wearing: - Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing Mascara - Lavshuca PK-1 Duo Eyeshadow (pink/purple) on my upper lid - Shiseido's Integrate Pencil Eyes GD871 (gold) on my lower lashline
