Body Shop

So I went to town on thursday and decided to go into body shop since I wanted to get their new bronzer for a while~ and here it is~

it's from the Honey Bronze collection and I got in shade 02, fair matte

They only have 3 colours and all of them look quite light so I asked the lady working there which one should I get, and no.2 was the answer~ it blends super nice and is light, but I can barely see it, maybe 03 would be a better choice after all... want to try it out a bit more first thought~

they had a lot of different promotions on that day, once of which was "spend £19 and get a free gift worth £21" yeah I'm a sucker for such things and I lost right away xD to go up to 19 (the bronzer was £13) I got the  Vitamin E cream cleanser, I already had the mini size and I love it~ It cleans my face super well, leaving it soft, moisturised and smelling nice~ 

and here is my free gift~ mascara, black pencil liner and make-up remover

I tried their make-up remover before and hate it; works same as water + stings eyes horribly ><

but I wanted to try out a new mascara and a spare eyeliner is always good xD haven't tried them yet but my mum used the mascara and it was really nice~ we usually use the volumizing ones with huge, thick brushes, this one is very thin and long, therefore good for length. It gave her long and define lashes with good separation, but little volume, depends what look you like really~

And lastly there was 30% off on your purchase... if you have the body shop card, which I don't have. So I got it and the 30% covered it's cost xD

here it is~

it does cost £5, so it's best to get it when a sale is on, but it's really a great investment if you buy often at body shop! it gives you 10% off every time plus with each purchase they stamp it and you get free gifts! pretty cool~

on another make-up note~ Bubzbeauty finally released her brushes! They are available in her shop~

I really don't have any good brushes, most of the time I use my fingers + crappy ebay brushes, so I was extremely excited for this, they are supposed to be high quality but affordable prices~

I ordered the Basic Set

It includes a powder brush, multi retractable brush, dual cover brush, dual eyes brush and an angled liner.

I'm super excited to get them xD For some reason I was sure the set includes the HD flawless brush... but it doesn't >_< I might order it next time if I'm satisfied with those brushes~ 

Hope you enjoyed~ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ

Oh dear~ Every day I wanna make a post but something comes up, I'm busy all day and have no time >_< I'm currently looking for a work experience in a pharmacy, to help me with getting my work placement next year, but no luck so far >< continue tomorrow~ ofc my printer had to die on me in the middle of printing my CV XD

But what I wanted to write about is Sunday's outing to London~ On thursday (25th) it's been 6 months that I'm with my bf~ (how did this time go so fast!! o_O), it was raining that day and I was feeling sick, so decided to move it to Sunday (since there was a plan for the evening already~)

So my look for the day~

excuse my super flat hair xD it wasn't cooperating, to balance it out my take on the Mode hair scarf thing~ 

and my outfit~ also Mode inspired, my sweater really should be shorter thought, it was cutting off my legs

I wanna wear maxi all the time now xD it's just soooo comfy xD 

Caught by the sudden rain we run into Japan centre where I got new Jelly and some melon pan (it's on sale for 99p now cause of the 35th anniversary!) 

first time getting Jelly~ I've been slowly getting into Mode lately, I kinda feel with reaching 20 I should become a bit more mature, also with my style~
but Mana's show probably also influenced me xD check out kawaii dotto I~ it's great ^__^

Once we got out of Japan Centre, the rain was gone and didn't come back all day (thought it was a bit windy and cloudy at times), so we headed to St. James park and spend there all day before the cinema.

Also I got my late bday/anniversary(?) gift ^__^ 

a panda! haha I love pandas, this one is quite the regular size(a bit bigger than a book maybe?) I want a whole pyramid from small to huge~ xD 

Evangelion! kyaa~ I bought 1.11 on Hyper and was going to get this one soon ^__^ now just waiting for them to finally get the 3rd part out ^_^

And the final is the main event xD going to cinema to see Inbetweeners movie! 

Getting to Angel was quite a pain, since Nothern line was closed, but by pure luck we met Nana at King's Cross and we took the bus together ^_^ waited for a bit for everyone to arrive and went in... to find out there are only 4 seats left in the front row (note there was 6 of us). What to do next? Decided to leave the cinema and search for another screening somewhere close. Chose Camden and somehow managed to get in on time xD the cinema turned out to be tiny and uncomfortable and we were sat in the front row xD Didn't really bother me thought~ once the movie started I completely forgot about our position~

I heard some mixed comments on the movie, but I loved it! It was great, epic and amazing! yeah it was extremely stupid and ridiculous but that's exactly what this series is about~ (and I watched the whole 3 seasons the week before). It was very funny, slightly disturbing at times (with more nakedness than I expected) but extremely enjoyable~  

Afterwards we headed quickly to McD's and home (well me and Alex, I know the rest spend there good 2 hours talking xD shame I don't live in London and have to always hurry for the train >_<). I need more time with my unicorns! and people are going back to school or leaving for uni now, omg I miss everyone already! >o<  

And that's about it for today~ A bit hurried cause I wanna go sleep and I'm busy again tomorrow xD
Hope you enjoyed (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ

Blue dip dye~

Decided to make a small post on my hair, in case anyone is interested~ xD I love the blue but it is suuuuch a pain~ I had it for 3 weeks now, and dyed the ends 3 times already xD 

this is the dye I use, the colour is Atlantic Blue

first dye~  

wasn't perfect i admit xD  I used 4 hair bands to mark how far I want to have the dye and  applied with a glove~ 

the colour after only 3 washes 

during dying, wrapped the finished parts in tin foil~ parted my hair in 6 parts this time

and pretty blue again~ 

and onto the colour fading/ washing out~ 

new, only rinsed the dye off

1 wash

slightly faded but still blue

2 washes 

light blue, still nice but not vibrant~ 

3 washes

starting to look nasty and uneven, with tints of green everywhere

4 washes

very light green-blue 

and then I dyed it again xD but I seriously think with more washes the colour would be gone completely. My hair just doesn't want to hold any colour. I did it red in the past and within 3 washes it was mostly gone, and soon turned into a darker blonde~ 

I'm a perfectionist and I can't stand it being faded, so I re-dye it every time I go to London xD the dye is nice on your hair thought and it doesn't seem to damage it any further~ after 3  dyes I used up maybe 1/3 or less (as you can see in the photo on top). Will continue doing this for a while...until I get bored (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ

3rd time round~ I run out of tinfoil xD got advised on twitter by a few people to use cling film instead~ did a pretty good job I think. this time I did it in tiny sections, going over the previous colour, but it was freaking time consuming xD 

back to perfect, deep blue~ 

tada~

eh~ why wont it just stay like this xD

hope you enjoyed~ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ

Princess Mimi (Bambi) Sesame Grey and King Size Barbie Brown Review

So as I promised ages ago, a circle lens post with reviews! Just gonna do my two favourite pairs~ since the others are only 14.0 mm which is becoming history now with bigger and bigger diameters.

King Size Barbie Brown

Brand: EOS 

Diameter: 14.5 mm

Water Content: 38%

Base Curve: 8.6 mm

Life span: 1 year disposal 

excuse I'm gonna use quite old photo's 

This are the lenses Sakurina promotes and I got them when I was obsessed with her ^_^

Colour / Design: 10/10 I personally adore them. The inner part of my eye is brown so it blends perfectly. They are very similar to Geo Angels, just bigger with a thicker ring (the Super Angel's are even more alike). The thick black ring is my favourite, it's very bold and gives the perfect dolly look. Also the colour is a very true, pretty brown. Nothing I can possibly complain about~ 

Comfort: 10/10 Most of my lenses are very comfortable, but EOS are by far my fav. I can wear them for hours and hours with no discomfort (unless something get's stuck to the surface, then it hurts like a bitch xD). They are also thinner than Geo lenses, allowing more air to get in and preventing dryness. 

Enlargement: 9/10 They are 14.5 mm which is quite big, it gives a dolly effect without looking creepy. (more comparison photos below) 

Overall: 10/10 This are my favourite lenses of all times~ They are super dolly, yet look natural and blend perfectly with my own colour. Will have to get a new pair soon as it's almost a year now. 

Here are some other photo's with this lenses 1, 2, 3, 4

Princess Mimi (Bambi) in Sesame Grey 

Brand: EOS 

Diameter: 15 mm

Water Content: 38%

Base Curve: 8.7 mm

Life span: 1 year disposal 

Everyone's new favourite lenses by Tsubasa~ xD 

slightly odd cause I forgot to use mascara on lower lashes xD only fixed it on the train

Colour / Design: 8/10 The design is quite pretty, with the thick ring and spikes, also there is a gold inner ring allowing a better blend with the natural eye colour. It's also all made of dots that form the colour. The gap inside is quite large, showing a lot of the natural colour. The colour is a very nice light grey, which shows great, even thought the lens on its own looks quite transparent. 

Comfort: 9/10 Similar as with my other Geo lenses, I find them very comfortable but with a tendency to become slightly dry. They are quite thick so they feel a bit "heavier" than EOS lenses. But I wore then for 15 hours straight and except for feeling dry by that time I had no need to take them out. 

Enlargement: 10/10 They are massive! I looks freaky in half of the photo's xD Fist time I wore them I had to pile on a ton of black to balance it out since my lashes weren't dramatic enough xD Thanks to the size they are extremely doll-like. I actually struggled a bit with putting them in at first since they are so big, but it's a matter of practice and getting used to a different style. 

Overall: 8/10 I like them a lot since they give a very dolly look but it's also very fake. They can look quite freaky due to the size. I personally don't think grey suits me very well, it's a bit strange on me~ I prefer warm colours, and I'm considering getting them in brown, but I read that they are quite red and not sure how it will look (or maybe I should finally try green lenses! but I just don't like green in general and always avoid it xD).

And some comparison photo's

Left: Barbie Brown

Right: Princess Mimi 

you can see the size difference here~ 

Left: Barbie Brown

Right: no lens

hahaha, so this is how tiny my iris really is xD without lenses I always look tired and bored >_< 

also my natural colour is described as hazel, they are brown on the inside, but a dirty green on the outside... i just call in poo in the grass xD I real don't like them xD 

Left: Barbie Brown

Right: Geo Blue Wing (14.0 mm)

You can see how much of a different effect a black ring gives~ and the extra 0.5mm ^^

Hope you enjoyed~ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ

Cosplay

Just a random little post~
Some of you might already know I am planning to cosplay on the coming Expo in October. I cosplayed maybe twice in the past (thought only one can be called a proper cosplay I'd think~)

Anyway I am cosplaying as Vocaloid Miku in Matryoshka

and a fanart I love~

so yes I an the blue hair one and Michelle will be Gumi (green~) 

It seems like quite a straightforward costume, but it proved to be more challenging than expected so far xD but I finally got the jacket/sweatshirt

haha in pjs xD 

pretty decent~ was super hard to find something matching the original art >< got the adidas logo on back front but I can live with that I think xD 

Ordered new contacts since my Blue Wings are just too small. It's the I.Fairy Super Crystal Blue 15mm, they are quite massive, but should work perfectly for the cosplay~ Now waiting for it to arrive.

Need to get the gloves next~ Michelle suggested leather, but finding cheap ones on ebay is freaking impossible with my tiny hands xD (why are they all M/L! I need a XS/S), probably gonna get riding gloves, since they are cheap and come in all sizes and colours~

The choice with bottom is quite wide, since you can't see it in the video, we were planning with Michelle to both get matching converse in different colour, but not sure how that's working now xD hoping to get blue ones now~ cause I really dont like green and red (which we originally proposed to match the outfit). Probably gonna wear shorts as always, since I don't rly like skirts xD  

Was gonna order the wig soon, but my friend told me she has one and doesn't want it anymore~ So I can buy it muuuch cheaper than ebay~ and it looks pretty good ^__^ 

photo of the wig she sent me~

hope you don't mind me posting it xD 

Going onto next cosplay plans (which knowing life might never happen, or will greatly depend on the success of this one~). I was thinking how to do a cosplay I want and get the chance to re-use the wig, since that's usually the main expense~ aaaand~

Touwa Erio z Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko xD

 I absolutely adoooore her character (thought the anime itself wasn't as good as it could be~), but yes she has long blue hair not twin tails, like the Miku wig. Solution!

In one episode Erio has twintails! gonna do her normal costume, get ribbons for the hair and here it is~ 

I do feel my legs are too fat thought ;___; 

Coming up next~ Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt! haha~ I freaking love this anime 

Stocking is my fav character thought, and I always wanna cosplay her, even thought Panty would be easier~

but then I found this:

omg this cosplay is aaaaamazing! and looking at it I decided... actually I want to do Panty~ would save the wig problem (thought I rly dont see how my hair can be made to be so awesome and anime like~) 

some nice fanart~

and an actual, real image from the series xD

Panty rock~

I also have a few other characters in mind, but that's it for now xD Excuse the total randomness, I felt like putting my thoughts and plans down so I don't forget. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ

OMG! XD

OMG omg! Has it really been so long since I posted!?! o__O I'm soooo sorry, I lost a follower! (*´Д`)  I'm soooorry! I was defeated by my laziness o_O totally~

So much happened in the last month and there is so much to write that I just cant get to it xD and I kinda gave up~ xD I was also getting ready to write a huge post, but then the riots started and I lost all my spirit xD

So what was it, what was it~ u see, my memory is super bad xD I already forgot most of it... 

I've been to 2 gigs! 

First was GACKT with YFC, aaaaages ago xD despite my initial scepticism it was pretty damn awesome! spend the whole day "queuing" with Nana and Lily... thought we actually spend most of the time in coffee shops and around Camden xD I think over the years I came to love the queue more than the gig itself xD but the gig was absolutely epic, managed to get a place in the second row. The place was quite full but the crowd wasnt pushing as badly as at some gigs, so me and Nana had our little dancing space xD Gackt and YFC gave an amazing performance, including all those weird yet epic dances xD I wasn't sure what to think about Jon as the second main vocal, but it worked out surprisingly well~ In the end I thought it was well worth the £50... but I wouldn't pay again xD

with Gigi visiting the queue (left), and Laura at Diru~

oh god my fringe is doing the splitting thing now >< 

To balance out my loss of money for Gackt I got a free ticket for Dir en Grey xD wasn't planning to go at all, but can you say no to a free ticket? xD I wasn't sure if it will work since the riots started that week, but it all ended well~ The gig was pretty good, but I do somehow feel too old for this xD or it's more like I have grown out of this, I'm sure I would consider it totally epicly awesome few years back but now I just don't care for jrock and vk as much, and crazy moshing and jumping doesn't give me as much joy as it used to~

As always I enjoyed my queuing time greatly xD Spend most of the time chatting with Laura, which I didn't see in a while (we only see each other in those queue's! this need to be fixed >3<), but also was happy to see and chat with many people I don't see so often... or see all the time xP

I'm sure I wont be going to Versailles gig, but as it comes out to be a sunday I will definitively come and visit people~

Oh and as you can see on the photos I finally got my hair dip dyed BLUE! yay~ I'm super happy with it (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ even thought the colour fades and washes out super quick and I have an urge to re-dye it every two washes xD 

I tend to wear my hair in a bun almost every single day xD so much easier~ 

photo from the day of the first exhibition visit

On other things I have been to see the Murakami exhibition (like years ago now...), which was aaaamzing, but also extremely awkward xD In the end I went to see it two times~! I was planning to have a separate post on this one, but it died along the way~ I will make an attempt soon xD 

my favourite piece of the exhibition~ Nurse Ko2

life size figure! omg I want to own her! *o*

What else, what else~ Oh! The day after Dir en Grey I went to my friends bday party~ yeah I was pretty much dying, my head was still pounding and much more sleep was required. I felt a bit too old within mostly 17-year old's (looking like they are in mid-twenties o_O what's with those teenagers!), but it was a lot of fun, I soon woke up from my gig hangover and enjoyed it more than I expected to~ ^__^

my eyes were killing me so no lashes/contacts = hideous face xD 

but HAPPY BDAY GEN! hope you enjoyed it~ xD 

yeah my life is so boring I have nothing better to do than edit photos...

On more recent events, I finally went to Thorpe park with a small group of friends last week. I have never been before and was super excited! It was as epic as I have expcted~ can't wait to go again xD (planning a trip with family sometime soon). We met Waterloo 9.30, but somehow only reached Thorpe just before 12 >< need to organise ourselves better next time xD

MADE IT INSIDE! XD

the 6 of us finally heading in~

As expected spent most of the day queuing xD Went for Colossus first... it was not a good choice at all xD stood good 2 hours in the queue and the ride wasn't that good, and super rough for a first~ >< 

We only cared for roller coasters ^__^ ...thought went for one kiddie ride as well xD the queues were so mental that through most of the day we went on 3 rides... and then on 4 in the last hour before closing, since people were leaving.

with my lovely Nana-chan

my hair was ridiculously frizzy from the rides xD had to braid it later~

Saw The Ride was totally the best ride there! omg it was soooo epic! xD We went twice~ and they have ride filming on that, LOL me and Lily, best faces EVER! xD I always look totally unimpressed... not sure why, but my expression is... no expression, I just can't change my face xD it was sooo hilarious on the video's, I look paralysed and Lily sitting next to me is totally terrified screaming all the way xD 

second best ride is Nemesis Inferno, also got to go twice xD Just wish we had time to also go for Stealth~ next time, next time!

And some random photo's xD

yeah... don't even ask, we just took super close ups of each other faces... but I kinda like it xD

as always in the queue... everyone is looking super retarded xD 

at least the weather was pretty nice~ 

Hope you enjoyed this random ramble~ I promise to post some more randomness soon (maybe even today, cause I have something in mind) 

Also as you can see there is a new blog design and all~ not perfect, let's say it's temporary, need some better photos~

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ
