日焼け止め ~①~ Sunscreen and UVA/UVB protection ~①~

今日は ☆ Hello my dears!

Since it is getting warmer and more sunny (and I am 26 years old and thinking about wrinkle protection), I am thinking more and more about sun protection! I actually never really liked tanning or tanned, never used a tanning bed and knowing what damage it can cause never plan to. But walking outside in the city, hands, arms, face, feet, our skin is exposed to sun. And I don`t want to get wrinkles or blemishes from sun! So, I decided to buy two new sun screens, both from Shiseido`s Anessa sun care line - official website here (very cute and animated).

I bought two:
1. 美白 UV プロテクター / Shiseido Anessa Whitening UV Protector (60ml) 
             from Strawberrynet.com, SPF32・PA+++
2. パーフェクトパーリーサンスクリーンAA / Shiseido Anessa Perfect Pearly Sunscreen AA (25ml) 
              from Ichibankao.com, SPF50+・PA+++

I read the reviews at cosme.net too, here are reviews for Anessa Whitening UV Protector and here the reviews for Anessa Perfect Pearly Sunscreen AA.

I am curious about how they will perform! Also very curious about the "pearly" one! I hope it doesn`t turn my face into a disco-ball~ ;P Plan to use them on my face, neck and decolte, hands and feet! :D For the whole body I can use a different sunscreen, that is more oily or whatever, but for face/hands/top of feet I need something that dries quickly and is also good under makeup! So... we`ll see how this performs! <3

This the TV commercials:

So cute!

And older one:

Tsuchiya Anna is so cool~~ (*0*)

Anyway, I ordered those online, so I am waiting for them to arrive.
In the meantime, I`d like to ask you, what do you think of tanning, sun protection, which are your favorite sunscreens or if you maybe love tanning and tanning beds and don`t give a hoot about sun protection? I`m just curious and want to chat about that, so please drop me a comment! (^0^*) Don`t get me wrong, healthy tan and dark skin looks lovely, but I hate sun caused blemishes and rash and wrinkles and other problems, so that`s why I want to use strong sun protection! To keep my skin young and healthy longer! I will adjust the tone of my face by using darker foundation in summer, but underneath, my skin will be untouched by sun! :D
Tell me about your ideas about tanning, sunscreens and all that. I think sun care is more about health than beauty.... Watch this video:

Some great polish music

Now, time for a cosmetics/skin care unrelated entry!

Recently this music video and song blew my mind, and my friends participated in creating the video, wow! 

Brodka - Krzyżowka Dnia (crossword of the day)

I also really like this video, by another polish band, D4D:

D4D - Love is dangerous

How do you like those songs and videos??? I LOVE THEM! :D

Polish music has a lot of pretty terrible artists, really bad and I don't even listen to polish radio, but some artists/songs are amazing. I can introduce more if you want me to! :D

And just 2 snaps from life

a place I really like <3

after work drink with my bff 

WANT! MAC Cham-pale collection

Video from temptalia.com, oooh, I love most things from this collection! I hope I have time to visit MAC soon!! :D They will be coming out with a super bright colors collection too around the same time, but I am more drawn to the nude, sparkly colors. I really want a bright red and pink lipstick though, sth like Russian Red and Girl about Town. Yesterday I went to a rock live for my friends` band and wore Obsessive Compulsive Lip Tar in Anime on my lips 8D Topped with Dazzleglass in Sugarrimmed! :D
/Super tired and no energy for a longer, better post, sorry & goodnight!

Also, I don`t even have an iPhone, but words cannot describe how much I love this deko Rilakkuma iPhone case... (*_*)

I love Rilakkuma... :3

RANDOM: Music I'm enjoying lately & Diamond LASH: Celeb lashes EOTD

 Last night I wore Diamond Lashes in Celeb lash! :DDDDD I love them sooooo light and soft! :D But very long and people instantly recognize you are wearing fake lashes, but honestly, sometimes you just want to slap on fabulous lashes on your face, right? :D I loooove them. :)

And far away.

My cat is getting huge. Maybe I got a tiger or some mix instead of a cat? :o

Since I"m busy, only this and music I can't stop listening to lately:3

Also, this tutorial video is amazing...!

Inspiration photo collage

Because I"m just in between one work and another, will be on a stage speaking to a mic again tonigh, lol. Fun times, cool beans. In the meantime, inspiration!!!!!! Styles I like a lot recently!
Also, my LAZY OAF order arrived! Yay.

Hmm, first of all I need to buy wellies for all this melting snow.
Then maybe UGGs and them definitely Jeffrey Campbell shoes, so hot!
And oversized knit onepieces, preferably gathered with a belt, Ena style! :D

Wayfayer like black rim glasses, boots and booties with fur elements, hats, scarves, big rings! Knee and over-knee length socks! :D Want!!!
I want rings like Yoon and Verbal have in this AWESOME 'Cherry Bomg" remake video! Do you know where I can get some like that? (EDIT: I found it, it's Verbal's and Yoon's brand AMBUSH! Oh yeah, want: http://www.ambushdesign.com/shop/skullambbones/index.php)


Oh, I LOVE anything Verbal touches, way since Lisa & m-flo days! <333333

Gareth Pugh Spring/Summer 2011 Womenswear VIDEO

How awesome is Gareth Pugh?!


Coolness!

FOTD, BLENDA and Saki Namba inspired!

So yesterday after work I felt like moderately active, so I cleaned my whole apartament (even scrubbed the bathroom floor!!lol), worked out (and if you want some crazy pain in your butt try doing this:

OMG, this woman is insane!!! XD Of course I wasn't able to do all the excercises, but I tried and then I did her other videos too. And gave myself a sore butt. XD Anyways.

After cleaning the apartament and doing pilates for 40 minutes, with my crazy cat (oh, did I write it here, I got a cat! :D) jumping all over me thinking I"m playing with him, I cut my bangs and today in the morning the good active mood was still ON and I put in my new circle lens (reviews coming up!) and even fake lashes, gave myself nice makeup and went to work! :D
So here's the FOTD!

Makeup is: face Missha Perfect Ciover bb cream in #21 mixed with some Revlon Photo-ready foundation (don't remember the color) and Missha powder to finish it. Then Revlon blush in #6 (orange, maybe naming here is different, cause I bought it in Japan, sorry).

Fake lashes are lashes like this, cheap from eBay, cut, so I only use the ends with more volume! Eyeshadow is MAC's Retrospeck and Woodwinked on Canmake Shimagelic Eyes #Sugar Milk Tea as base. The lipstick is MAC Viva Glad Cindi Lauper! :D

And the lens are GEO Wing in brown/olive (naming is different?). Without flash it looks more natural and I really like them! :D Good for green eyes too! :D

And since it is very cold, I wear a hat! It's a cheap H&M pink hat with a H&M feather accessory I added on a whim. :) What is your autumn style??

BTW, it is really autumn here in Poland now!

And presenting my cat, his sleeping positiong is... very strange... xDD His name is Noko. :D

Some recent shopping and music I like!

Hello!
Sorry for not writing much - last two weeks at work were rather busy (workign saturdays too!!) and I went out more and more as well, and generally I have a lot going on right now xD I will be moving to my own apartament for the summer this saturday! Yay, can't wait. *^^* I did some shopping and will write reviews when everything arrives and I use it a couple times.

From Ichibankao.com I got:

Candydoll Cheek Color Peach Pink / ¥1900 JPY

I saw reviews on blogs, and I don't have wnything light like this one yet, so I went ahead and got it! (I already have those Canmake blushes for a while now and I really like them, especially the pink one!) I was of course super tempted to get some fake lashes too, but recently I rarely wear fakies and I have tons of them at home and the yen / polish zloty rate is ridiculous (!!!) so I passed on lashes this time.... Next time though... ;D

Kose Visee Blackish Forming Eyes / ¥1900 JPY

in B-4, violet! I already have Visee Brilliance Forming Eyes in A-2 - I just had to get it after seeing it in JELLY so much, and I like it a lot, all the colors are great and it's affordable and good quality! And I'vee been wantig a purple eyeshadow for a while now. (you can search my blog for older reviews, the A-2 palette review is here too, with photos ^^)

Rohto Lycee eyedrops for Contact Lens / ¥1100 JPY

I am on accutane-like acne treatment, and my eyes are what's killing me most, they are so dry, makes me want to scratch them out (Y^Y') Even when I wake up in the morning they are dry and won't open.... So uncomfortable... I have some regulat eye drops with hyaluronic acid (Hyal-Drop from Bausch&Lomb), but I think those will work better. Oh, and I am not wearing lenses of course. I wore them once in a while before, but I got a bigger medicine dose and the dryness is terrible. D:

From eBay I got this Weleda Skin Food cream, which is great according to this blog: http://whitneycummings.tumblr.com/ (the entry is here)xD She is rather hilarious.
 

But back to the cream. The paraben-free and all natural ingriedients slogan convinced me! And my skin is dry (thank accutane! :P) and Embryolisse cream is nice (not moisturising enough for me currently though) and so hard to buy here... it's made in France, why can't it be distributed in Poland, UK, Germany, etc? Weleda Skin Food cream is also 75ml and cost me about 13$usd from eBay, from UK seller. I will test it and let you all know how it works. If I like it maybe I will try more Weleda products, looks like a nice skin care brand!
 
Active Ingredients:
Weleda Skin Food contains:Water, Sunflower Seed Oil, Lanolin, Sweet Almond oil, Alcohol, Beeswax, Glyceryl Linoleate, Hydrolyzed Beeswax, Viola Tricolor extract, Rosemary Leaf extract, Chamomile extract, Calendula extract, Cholesterol, Fragrance, Limonene*, Linalool*, Geraniol*, Citral*, Coumarin* (*from natural essential oils).


*****      *****     ******   *******
 
I also bought a blouse, button up knee lenght skirt and a white floral print maxi dress, all from ZARA. I will try to post photos of all that when I get back home today. Tried taking photos from ZARA website, but it's not working at all on this computer.

Also, one of my more casual work outfits:

Don't worry, I am wearing black shorts and this is not my room. xD I wore the high heeled black sandals from 2 entries earlier with this and a big gray Gilfy bag. :D My workplace is pretty lax about how I dress anyway, but I try to keep it simple and cute and OL appropriate. xD I love that jacket though, it is from VERO MODA. :) Leggins are Vivienne Westwood and the white top under H&M, white top on top, I don't know, maybe from Korea? Don't remember. :) It was such a comfortable coordinate! It's getting hot, close to around 30C here in Poland this week! :D

 
***** ***** ****** *******
Also, some music I like a lot recently! Try listening to Ratatat and Miike Snow! I love both bands! I am also listening to SIA's new album, We are born.


Other nice tunes:

Sunday Girl and Diplo!

And:

Kid Cudi & Ratatat

***** ***** ****** *******
So, 'm moving on saturday, so next post will be from another place I guess! Wish me good luck! Have a great day everyone! <33333333333 Take care girls :)
PS. Also, to the person who asked me a stupid question at my formspring - hilarious. xDDD I will not gratify such stupid questions with an answer, tadah! None of your business anyway, geez, trolls everywhere! ;)

video: omgomg!! Asahi made a ganguro video!! xD

Ahhh, I love Asahi and her tutorials!! This time in response to many requests, she did ganguro gal makeup, which is crazy xD It`s such an old style, but it`s still fun to watch :D


zomg <33

Tiny Sephora and Canmake haul *^^* Canmake Cream Cheek intro

Hi guys! (Czesc Gosia ;D)

Yesterday a small letter arrived from Japan and inside were my 2 Canmake cream blushers! I ordered colors #1 and #4 from ichibankao and as always they arrived safe and quickly. And since I went to Warsaw to meet up with my dear girl friends and get updates yesterday♡, I bought a lipstick brush at Sephora too. It`s not retractable, but it is very soft and looks well made, all black and sleek and it was affordable - 25pln only (8,45usd)! I will look for a retractable lipstick brush too at another time, yesterday I also went to look at drug stores (none) and INGLOT too, but it was 65pln. I didn`t even go to MAC, because it would be even more expensive I guess... I wasn`t ready to spend this much on a lip brush, since first I want to see if I will even use it regularly; If I do, I will invest in a good retractable one I can carry around too. BTW, the shop girls in Sephora were so nice yesterday, I`m impressed. Good service is 60% of success. ;) 

BTW, they are having this promotion on Sephora makeup in march - with a purchase over 59pln you get a 10pln discount (Sephora brand items only). I also got a tester (smoothing primer), I used this once and quite liked it when I had mixed skin, but I`m not sure if it will work for my dry skin now..? And I`m not a big fan of this silicone-y film feeling on skin neither. D: Here`s my tiny haul:

My VW hand towel is a nice background, eh? ; )

Ichibankao also sent me a generous sample of Kanebo Blanchir Superior cream soap, yay! Whitening face cleanser, how did they know the things I want to invest in next are 1) a good eye cream 2) whitening skin care? lol (And I mean invest, I`m looking into Estee Lauder eye creams and serums, got to save up!) The Blanchir Superior soap is super creamy and foams up like crazy, the foam feels really soft and nice and when I washed it of my face was literally squeaky clean. Also feels like 15ml will go a long way! So, thank You ichibankao, I`ll enjoy it. ^^ Who doesn`t love freebies and testers! ☆

My EOTD yesterday! I cut up volume-type lashes and glued on 3 cut up pieces on outer corner of each eye. I used MAC gel eyeliner, Rimmel sexy curves mascara, Visee palette in A-2 and CHANEL ombre d`eau in white as my base. On brows, KATE eyebrow palette, BiBo eyebrow pencil and Palty eyebrow mascara. ^^ Missha Oriental Herbs BB cream and MAC select moisture cover in NC20, no powder (skin too dry and the bb cream has a powdery finish alredy)

I think I will make a separate entry about the blushes, they are so cute! The diamond-like polished boxed are cute and light, the blushes look sparkly (#1 the pink one is not as sparkly as #4 the orange one). They are cream blushes, but after applying and massaging into skin they turn into powder consistency. They spread easily and sparkle delicately, it just looks like a natural flush, healthy... and the orange color is a challenge! xD I also think they would work great as eyeshadows and lipstick because they are creamy yet powdery after application! (I applied the pink one to my lips, it was 100% covering and matte, such a pretty baby pink color too~ I topped it with a KATE pink sparkly gloss and wow, was I surprised :o Looked so nice! And stayed on really well too.)

Canmake cream cheek #4 and #1.

BTW, I have a new phone, Samsung Avila, it came free with my 2y contract. ^^* It`s a touch screen phone (plays music well and you can watch movies on it too). I`m still getting used to it, but it has a triple screen so I had to use all my favorite JELLY girls as wallpaper! :D

Recently I`m on a big Kato Miliyah kick, looove her voice, lyrics and fashion style! ☆　マジで可愛い過ぎますね♡ If you don`t know her, here`s a sample:

INGLOT shop in NYC!?

OMG, so I didn`t even know about it, but Inglot, which is a really well known (in Poland) Polish cosmetics brand, opened a big store in NYC! I don`t really know much about the cosmetics, because I haven`t used them in a couple years, but I looove their nail polishes! You must try their nail products, cheap and really good :)
I actually went to their store at a big shopping center in Warsaw recently and looked around curious, soooo many products to chose from it`s almost overwhelming. Everything is out for people to try though, arranged by product and color, the women in the store I visited were helpful too...! but the woman who assisted me, her makeup was hmm.... not my taste. Imagine guidette kind of tan/black hair/makeup, zomg no thank you! xD please change to more professional looking people :o lol!
Anyway, lots of highly pigmented colors, give it a try I guess! ;) 

Here`s a nice tour of the shop from youtube from EnKore Makeup chanel!



Maybe I should try more Inglot products! Try their nail polish, it`s really good. And just generally proud of a polish company making international career! Yay! Apparently the brand is pretty popular in Dubai and Australia! :o They have 60 boutiques all around the world.

my favorite "creative makeup" youtuber

Ah! The magical land of youtube videos, helping you understand anything you are not sure about or just providing silly entertainment for years now! ;D There are also soooo many interesting makeup chanels too, like the lovely pros of Pixiwoo or super collectors like Fuzzkitie, but my favorite makeup video uploader of all times is MANWOMANFILM!

Her videos are like a trip to happy-land for me :D Her makeup is also amazing, sooo creative and colorful! Her videos are beautifully edited and she it so funny and pretty too. :3 Definitely not every day looks for me, but amazing none the less. Also, music in her videos tends to be awesome... and she just uploaded a new video, so look and subscribe and gimme a high five for recomending it to You. xD

Hamsters, they be cute ;D (my favorite video by Her is probably the "flight attendant" (love m-flo!) and "conservative") Enjoy!

BTW, I just made homemade tofu, yum yum. If you are wondering how, here are good instructions.
