How I`m doing lately~ (and new shoessss)

Well, not so good, but I am working hard on getting back to better health and mental state.

I have Princess Mimi lenses in Sesame Gray, Green Apple AND Brown! I love them all! I want to do a review with nice photos on my green eyes, but always forget...  `OTL

Also, I ordered some Jeffrey Campbell shoes recently:

Mary Roks in Nude, from http://www.solestruck.com/

Tick in Grainy Leather, also from http://www.solestruck.com/
I ordered those two pairs together to get free shipping and they already arrived in Poland, but were stopped at customs.... I hope I don`t have to pay some ridiculous amount of tax and customs on them! I want to try them on already! D:

And then, by miracle, I found Mildred in white paint in my size at http://www.plumforpollyapparel.com/
I was wondering about getting some Jeffrey Campbell shoes for the longest time (maybe over a year now). And finally seeing the gorgeous Cherri rock their shoes like there`s no tomorrow and the fabulous Miss Mitsu getting a couple pairs, and also discovering the unbelieveable magical being, JC shoe collector, Asami, I was pushed over the thin line between WANT and BUY! XD

So first I got the 2 pairs from solestruck, that are now in customs. And yesterday I saw the ah-may-zing Mildred Paint in White at Plum for Polly and ordered them!!! (it`s a secret, so shhh...) They were just shipped yesterday. I hope I can avoid customs with this pair! 

I mean, just look at this coordinate with those shoes on Asami - after I saw the photos I felt I MUST have those shoes! XD I hope they arrive fast! I will post photos and impressions!
I will also do my best to post the circle lens reviews. 
Although I am not in my best health recently, I will try.
Thank you for staying with my blog!
Love you all!

~ song of the week ~

Isn`t the sound of this music the most soothing thing you`ve heard this year? I found it at this amazing blog: http://spikesandsequins.com!

And one more:

By a cool artists group from Warsaw, Poland, called Projekt Warszawiak. Kind of a retro Warsaw tragic love story! Great music and video!
Hugs to all of You.

Haul from http://www.adambeauty.com/

Hello! I got my lovely order from http://www.adambeauty.com/ today, yaaay! Here's what I got.

The shipping options are either courier or standart sign on delivery shipping, which is a flat rate of 2$.  

I got: Blanchir Superior Cream Soap (125g), Blanchir Superior White Deep Clear Conditioner (special set with miniatures!), HADARABO whitening-moisturising face mask, JUJU AQUAMOIST Hyaluronic Acid Whitening & Moisture Milk, JUJU AQUAMOIST prime Q10 moisturising toner and B&C Makemania Curvy Lip Liquid lip gloss! :D I am already a fan of the Blanchir Superior line and I really recommend it for people who want moisturising but also whitening (removing blemishes faster) and anti-acne care, becasue I think it really works for acne! :D Then I got some more moisturising toners/lotions and sheet masks. And I really liked the red version of the lipgloss, so I got clear one too!! 


Moisturising toner with miniatures! Also ordered a full size face washing cream soap, which I loooove~ You can see it in the photo above, next to this set. I really like this product. And the whole series! If you have a chance, try it!

The lip gloss and Hadalabo sheet masks. :D

************************************************************

Talking about the B&C Makemania lipgloss - I really like it! But I am really crazy about lip glosses. :D This one has hyaluronic acid, grape seed oil and other moisturizing, good for your lips ingriedients! :D The other one I had was see through red, this one is clear with pearl colored sparkles, keeps lips moisturised and looking like vinyl-shiny. I like it (and the red one) on it's own (feel moisturising) and over lipstick.

How shiny is it? :D
Sorry for the hiatus. :D What did you buy recently?

What I bought today & random photos (tragic story and food included)

Hello~
So, Since I have nothing else to write about and I went shopping today, take a look at what I bought!

River Island!
River Island Canvas Flap Satchel, I was looking at it online at ASOS and I saw it today at the RI store - their accessories are really cute! Also House of Holland suspender tights... dun dun DUNNN!!!! Which ripped when I was trying them on at home!!!!!!! COME ONNNNNNNNN!!!! Super fail!!!!!!!!! The sheer part is really delicate, NOW I KNOW. :/ Be carefull guys.... (T_T) Good thing I got to buy them cheap, there was a promotion "send a text message and get a 10% off code", which I did and saved some money. But still... *pout*
The third things in an owl necklace. 
It is big and see through, with amber like coloring!

Hey owl!

And then I wanted to get the BODY SHOP room scent spray andmaybe some shower gel, I ended up with those things:
Also bought two shower gels, one is a new line from BODY SHOP, "earth lovers" a 100% biodegradable and healthy shower gel (there are a couple smells, but the "cucumber & mint" smelled best to me! 200ml, 22pln) Also I really like the room scent in Green Tea and Lemon, but the spray was sold out (gasp), so I bought the aroma oil to mix in with candles :D Next time I`ll get the scented candle, I really like this smell, recommended!! :D


The two products on the right are from a polish brand called ORGANIQUE. I found out about it when my mom got this exact shower gel as an Xmas present, I was staying home for the holidays and used this shower jelly and wow, I really loved it!! Now the brand specializes in SPA-like skin care, think organic solid soaps, shea butters, bath and shower goods, natural scrubs, etc. The shower jelly I got is for anti aging and dry skin and the are no parabens, silicones, peg-s, parafins or derivates, synthetics, detergents or artificial colors in it! The ingriedients are mostly argan oil, grape oil, rice protein and pearl powder. It smells soooo nice, like grapes and lemon and leaves skin feeling clean and soft! It is really rather addictive, so I`ll defnitely be back at the ORGANIQUE stand to buy more (they are in PROMENADA shopping center in Warsaw). I also got a tiny bar of a natural soap - it also smells like grapes (I think most their cosmetics have the same smell) and is really nice. I cannot use "normal" soap, it dries out my skin too much. I use a baby-soap for washing hands, and now also this. They also have solid shampoo and natural scrubs with salts and stuff, everything looks super tempting!!! (*_*)
I think this brand is kinda like polish version of LUSH. :) Which we don`t have here, what a shame.

And finally, I bought this cat brush, to brush my cat and have less of his hair flying around!
And the cat himself. 
sometimes he is so cute, sometimes he drives me mad!! (O_o)


And then some korean food I had with a friend. Omnomnomnom...
I had sundubu chige, spicy soup with fresh tofu and vegetables. 
Ans he had a bibimbap in the hot ceramic bowl, it`s also yummy!
Also I got excited and said "Hey, can I take a photo of our food first? Yay!" and the waiter laughed at me!!! D: Scandalous! Not in a mean way, he just found it funny I guess, but still... Hey waiter, no tip for u! :P

Diamond Lashes collection & shot reviews

Sooo!! Recently I ordered some Diamond Lashes (btw, their website is perfect, user friendly and pretty!) with the help of the lovely D~tan of sEpia memory blog, and she helped me get Original series: Fairy eye (the most popular type I think, Kanako wears it too) and Gorgeous eye lashes and from Pure series: Girly eye lashes.

My new lashes! Opened it right away, hohhoho~
And I thought it is a good oportunity to say a little bit more about Diamond lashes and show the ones from my stash :) So first I'll introduce the new ones, I haven't worn them yet of course, but I'll do my best to post photos and thought soon. But here are the new ones!

\(*^__^*)/\(*^__^*)/ Diamond Lashes - Pure Series - Girly eye lashes

from Diamond Lashes website, shown on gorgeous Yamamoto Yuuki:
They are from Pure series, whish is supposed to be "natural", so we will see, but in the box they look quite dramatic for natural lashes, more dramatic than in this photo. Still, they are super soft and light, Diamond Lashes are really killer. :)

\(*^__^*)/\(*^__^*)/ Next , Diamond Lashes - Original series - Fairy eye lashes, which are one of the most popular lashes in Japan now, Kanako and Romihi from EGG magazine wear it, soo many people swear by those lashes... I cannot wait to wear them! I thought the Original Series Diamond Lashes look quite dramatic in photos of just the lashes, but in real life they look like... just... wow, perfect. They are not too long or crazy, don't look plasticy or too heavy of fake, but still have enough volume and style and make eyes look stunning... And they are so soft and light and I seriously just forget I have fake lashes on when I wear Original series lashes! :D
EDIT: WORE THOSE TWICE - looooooooove them!!!

And a pic from website:
Again, the stick photo is a bit different from the lashes in person, they are more natural in person, I'd say, so don't be scared of them! Fabulous, must buy!!!

And two pics of those on my eyes, I love them



\(*^__^*)/\(*^__^*)/ And then, Diamond Lashes - Original series - Gorgeous eye lashes

Website photo:
They do look likethe promo pic, except there is no thick lash band, it is clear and soft. The lashes are really  long though - I think they will create a super cute dolle effect with tare-me (dropy eyes), because the longest strands will face down and then curl up again, how cute.... <3 But they are super long! (O_o)

********************************
But, those are the new shiny lashes I haven't worn yet. Below are Diamond Lashes I already have and wore, so they will also come with EOTD photos and reviews later! Yay? :) I ma so bad with taking photos and posting good reviews, but I`ll try, I promise!

Diamond Lash - Volume Series - Celeb eye lashes
They are super light and soft and wearing them is like a dream. But they are veeery long and dramatic, my male friends ALWAYS comment about it when I wear them. ("Oh! What's with the lashes!!! Tonight you DID DO MAKEUP, whoa..." and so on... :P But it was also like "Tonight your eyes look very kawaii", so... who cares? :P Aah, men... if only they knew what they are talking about, I'd care, but in case of lashes, they have no idea. ;)) But they do look rather dramatic:
I think they are perfect for a full-on gyaru look though!


Diamond Lashes - Lady Glamorous series -Princess eye lashes (bottom lashes)
It is hard to glue them on correctly, they always seem to face down and look weird. Plus the longest pieces and too long and heavy, but I found that if I cut off the last one or two pieces, they work perfectly, even with makeup that`s not really strong, just add some eyeliner of shadow on your bottom lid and they blend in nicely. Overall, nice lashes, mostly for stronger looks, but if you cut off the longest pieces, they are fine for natural looks too!

 Diamond Lashes - Original series - Dolly eye lashes, promo photo:
Sooo, at first I was like, what's the deal with those, they don't have much volume or lenght, they are only a tiny bit longer than my own lashes, they look too natural!! I couldn't see the fake lashes at all. :/ But after feeling dissappointed, but still trying them a couple times, I understood what's nice about them. They are natural, but that makes they sooo easy to wear with natural looks - thin eyeliner, light eyeshadow and those curled up = pretty! :) So now I like them, if I only want  to a little bit extra, I wear those. For example sometimes wearing lashes just makes me happy, but I don't want everyone to be shocked, (example saturday mornings, when I teach japanese, my students should focus on japanese, not my makeup), I wear those. Nice, but definitely not for you if you want a dramatic look or your lashes are already super longs and thick. :)

Real photo:
my complete Diamond Lash stash 8DDDDDDDDDDD

 You can see the "drama level" difference between Dolly, Fairy and Celeb. Like I wrote above, Dolly is extremely natural. Fairy is fabulous, but still looks natural and is just perfect. While Celeb is definitely nowhere near natural, but oh so fabulousss.... but I guess, not for everyday? :)



& Greetings and bye bye from my silly cat:
He just finished texting someone aparently, hey, get your own phone, cat! :P

MAC Champale paint pots & other shopping :)

1月の3回目の投稿、ぎりぎり間に合う!笑


Phew! Had a busy week! Also had my younger sister sleeping over at my place on friday and saturday, that was fun! On friday after my work, we went to MAC so I could get the Champale collection paint pots I wanted! :D I didn't get a second lip gelee, because I already spent enough money on paintpots and one eyeshadow that day, but they still ahve them in stock, so I can get one later. :D Anyway, I wanted to post about those paintposts, photos, swatches and some initial thoughts!

 What I got: MAC Champale collection Paint Pots in colors: Vintage Selection, Let me pop and Dangerous Cuvee. But I always think the name is Let me Poop, ha! So stupid!!!! I didn't get Chilled on Ice, cecause it looked too golden and I didn't really like the color so much. I try to persuade myself that is money saving. XD As if I didn't just spend so much on 3 other paint pots, hhhhaaa------




let me poop  pop / retarded

And the paint pots in the jars. :) 
There is a lot of products in each jar! 
One costs around 70pln in Poland! D:

Vintage Selection in a pale beige color, universal and lovely!

Let me Pop is a copperish, orange-ish golden color, really lovely and warm and would add to warm shades of makeup! :)

Dangerous Cuvee is a metallic gray, would be perfect with cold toned eyeshadows!

In jars they don't look that sparkly. Now onto the swatches!

Swatches in natural light (no sun). They are shiny, but not overly sparkly, I am used to waaaay more sparkle & shine, so to me it is really moderate! More than glitter or shimmer, they just reflect the light andadd more depth, I dunno. I didn't really know what to expect, as I never had any paint poits from MAC before, so I'm on unknown territory here. Hmm, I bet they will look way more shimmery in sunlight though!

Swatches with flash - more shine! v(*___*)v Loves it.
On their own they do not stand out that much, pigmentation is moderate, but it does create a lovely, delicate effect! They can be worn alone or as eyeshadow base, and I wore them for 3 days already and as eye shadow base they work PERFECT. Nothing creases and the colors you apply to your eyelid stay vibrant and true all day long. It also adds some depth, with the delicate shimmer coming through from under your eyeshadows. :) They are hard, but they "melt" under my finger and the application to eyelid is very smooth, and in a second they dry up and stay on your eyelid all day. That's great. :)

Ingredients if someone's interested.

Also one FOTD, I wear neutral makeup like this for daily look. If I feel like it I just add more black eyeliner, lashes or glitter, but generally, I'm not a morning person, so that's as much as I'm willing to do before leaving for work. :P I used the Vintage Selection paint pot and my new MAC Tempting eyeshadow! :DD
before lipgloss so lips are yucky, sorry (T_T)



And I also bought 2 more things. L'Occitane's famous hand cream (around 27pln for 30ml) and a room/wardrobe scent from Body Shop, in Green Tea & Lemon, also around 27pln. (Don't remember). Smells really nice, not artificial and fake~ I also want to use it more in some places, to make my cat not walk there - cats hate citrus fruit smell. 8D *evil genius* lol
And that is all for now!
I also got MAC eye shadow in Tempting, but I will make a separate post about it, because I have completed a lovely neutrals/browns quad palette from MAC, so I'll show You all that. That is all, take care!!
