Colour me cute!

Inspired by a German blog's "kawaii week", I decided to upload some purikura pictures I took over the course of my exchange year in Japan. I don't think I'm as cute as a Japanese girl could be, but for some reason, I often got called "kawaii" nonetheless. (Hehe, so white skin really makes up for seven flaws - if I really only have seven. ^^;) Purikura machines also have an "automatic beautification modus", which means your skin looks more flawless (and a bit scary, like in that Murakami Ryu novel) and your eyes look more pronounced, like the outer rims look blacker. I will spare you one picture where I was wearing blue eyeshadow. ^^;;; Since I couldn't ask all of my friends for their approvement, I "blacked out" their faces. (Although they totally all upload pictures of me on Facebook. -.-) I hope you don't mind. I am, of course, the crazy chick who's on all pictures. xD Plus a random "cute" pic I took w...

Dear readers, first of all, let me assure you that I am not in Japan at the moment. I am not sure if this was clear from my previous posts, but I left Japan last year in September, as my exchange ended then, and am in Germany at the moment. I do, however, have plenty of friends in Japan. My foreign friends have almost all left the country by now, but the Japanese ones can't (and won't) do that so easily. So far, everyone seems safe, as Tokyo wasn't hit as hard as the Touhoku area, but I am still worried a lot about possible new quakes, and also the atom reactors in Fukushima. At the moment, it seems like there is nothing we can do but wait and encourage our friends. I donated to various organizations, although only a bit so far, as I don't have much money on my bank account at the moment, and once my friends tell me the postal system is back to normal, I am planning on sending some food and maybe daily goods or warm clothes over. This is a difficult time, and altho...

Gosh, I so want a pair of these: http://shop.julujewelry.com/product/raincloud-earrings# Wonder if I can make some myself, because 20$ is not very cheap. Hm...

Just a short post on my nails for this "special" day. (Although all I did was go to classes. ^^;) (Took those before I cleaned the excess polish off, sorry!) I used Kiko 248 and stamped Kiko 241 over it with a sponge, then applied different heart stickers and topped everything off with a Kiko glitter polish (270).

Hello folks! I've been absent again, I know, but my really good excuse is, my computer isn't working, my camera (well, Mum's camera) won't produce good pictures (they look fine on the screen, but awfully blurry on my computer! >.<) and I have exams. Expect some longer posts in 2 to 3 weeks - if my Japanese friends don't ALL come at the same time and leave me bsuy showing them through Berlin. xD Since I already have many eye shadows, I have now started to get into lip products. Usually, I just take whatever Lip Smacker appeals to me that morning and leave the house, but now I want to match my lip colour to my eye shadow. As I like purple shadows, I am stocking up on pinks and mauves to go with the looks. So far, I have Lavshuca's Moist Melting Bar in PK-5 and RS-2 and Kate's Rouge Luster in PK-3 on my list. I'd also like one of the(seemingly popular) Coffret d'Or Rouge Glow lipsticks in RS-244 it was, I believe, but that's coming later...

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...
