new: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Recovery Complex

My Estee Lauder eye cream arrived! :D OMG, the delivery was so fast! It only took 3 days! :o Amazing.

Anywhoo... here`s what it looks like! The box is pretty light mint blue kind of color and there is a leaflet in many languages and a spatula. There`s 15ml cream in the cute dark brown jar, and it`s filled to the top! :D

See how small the jar is... I think it`s cute :D

The cream is light yellow beige and gel consistency.

I can`t get ovet how huge the leaflet is compared to the cream jar, lol!

I will be using the cream from now on so I`ll review it later, but here`s the leaflet info in english for you. :) 

Oh, btw, I got a job!! A regular 9 to 5 desk job and I am so happy, I will have more income and more regular day rythm, yay! But back to topic. I hope this cream will help moisture and prevent wrinkles and somehow make my dark under eye cirlces less visible and puffy. After work when I`m on the train I can feel my skin around the eyes being pulled, eugh, not a pleasant feeling... so help that Estee Lauder! ;D

What eye cream do you use??

☆朝バナナダイエット☆ banana for breakfast diet!

You ask what is 朝バナナダイエット? It's a very simple diet that took Japan by storm! The idea is, you eat a banana or two (or as many as you like), chewing well and drink a big glass of water for breakfast everyday (or for dinner if you want to). Banana is easily digested, has vitamins and is healthy, but it has little calories and the banana + water make you feel full, so it gives you all the energy you need in the morning and the satisfaction you ate breakfast. Also you get the healthy habit of eating breakfast at the same time everyday and it's a diet easy to follow.

For example, I never eat breakfast in the morning, just because I can't eat early, I'm this kind of person who is almost sick at the thought of food just after I wake up. Just coffe and that's it. But even for me, eating a banana is super easy! :3 If you feel like you need to eat a big breakfast thoguh, you can always eat the banana as dinner at 6-7pm. Simple!

Also the diet stresses no stress attitude and just relax, eat your banana, drink lots of water during the day too, be happy, sleep well, etc. And results will show! : ) Of course exersice will help, but just getting the healthy habit of regular small meals will help too.

There is also a cute website in many languages and a book for the diet with a cute character, called Asa Banako (朝バナ子), too cute~ And wallpapers for download:

The diet works for me in a way that it gives me satisfation that my eating habits are more regular and I eat breakfast, so I'm not starving myself 'till 1pm and then I don't over eat in the evening xD
When I was in Japan I also did the tofu diet (make one meal a day mostly about tofu) and cabbage diet, and I must say they are all delicious and easy to follow diets and they really work and help save moeny too. :) Unfortunately, in Poland, I can't buy fresh tofu, so I make my own tofu at home! But it's not enough to eat it everyday, so I just eat tofu because I love it, and do asa-banana diet! :3 It's also very easy to do this diet at work, eating a banana in office is non mesy and fast.
Are you on a diet of any kind? Which one and how's it going? :D

random FOTD and notes

I got to host an event yesterday and I was on stage in front of 200+ people and it was lots of fun! I don`t get stressed out by situations like this at this, especially when I know what I`m talking about, and this time I knew for sure. xD

Anyway, I wore fake lashes of course, the cross&volume type from eBay (what a deal!! 3$ for 10 pairs! And I love them!), Missha Oriental Herbs BB cream and Visee A-2 eyeshadow palette and MAC Azalea Blossom blush! :D My hair is no longer purple luckily, as the dye that caused the accident wasn`t permanent, phew!!

I ordered Estee Lauder`s Advanced Night Repair Eye Recovery Complex eye cream. I was promising myself a good eye cream for a while and decided to go with this one. I hope it works for me! You can read more about it here. We used to have this cream at home already and I liked it, but it was a long time ago and I this time bought my own. I mostly hope it will moisturize and help the dark circles which are really bad some days and help prevent wrinkles. I don`t want wrinkles yet!! D: I almost want to cry when I see girls my age (25) or younger with wrinkles from tanning or smoking or whatnot.

Other notes: The Vitacreme B12 cream is really working soo good imo!! It brightened my blemishes and after acne red marks and I really feel happier about my skin! Get it!!  I need to buy a gel eyeliner and eyeliner brush, can you recomend sth good? Also, Hadabisei sheet masks (blue and red) are really nice! lalalalalaaa

Keep your fingers crossed for me please, as I have one thing I really want to go well today!!!!!

PS. If you have free time read this page, I`ve been enjoying it lately~

want: Vivi 2010.05 issue!

So I've just ordered two JELLY issues, may Happie Nuts, Blenda and SCawaii, but... turns out I want even more magazines now! I want the new Vivi with hamasaki Ayumi on the cover!

Not only is it full of gorgeous spring clothes, but they also throw in this cuuuute little bag as a present!

ZOMG, that's adoribssss <33 8D

And they have my favourite Vivi model Marie all over this issue this time~ I love Marie! :D She looks great in her new hair color! She looks great in anything actually. 8D I love those fringe open toe boots! (*_*)

That's character!

So yeah, I think I will be definitely getting this one way or another. And the second magazine I really want to buy, mostly in hopes to be shocked and amazed, is EGG Beauty, Spring 2010 issue! It comes out 2 times a year and is mostly full of super detailed makeup instructions. And not just some makeup, crazy EGG gyaru makeup, that will take you like 2 hours and make you look like... well, like egg gyarus look! xD

With Kanako grinning like The Cheshire Cat on the cover lol

Ah, what's inside, curious & got to know! 8D

*and now back to work*

new: Sigma brushes

Other than the Viva Glam lipsticks I am sticking to my no (cosmetics) buy march, yay! But since I buy a lot of things online, orders from February are still arriving! This actually arrived a good couple days ago, but I was a bit busy, so I'm writing now.
I ordered the Face Kit Brushes from Sigma makeup. Honestly I think doing your makeup with brushes makes a HUGE difference! So it's worth investing in them, especially because they can last you years if you take good care of them. Anywhoo... I had just a random mix of some brushes from everywhere, and I thought it's time to start getting a nice collection! And actually I was only interested in face brushes now, honestly. So I got the face kit. Here's how it arrived:

very nicely packed and had leaflets about all their brushes

The Face Kit consists of:

- SS150 big powder brush

- SS190 flat liquid foundation brush

- SS 187 Duo Fiber brush (for foundations, blushes, etc. also called Skunk brush)

- SS168 Angled blush Brush

- SS194 Concealer Brush

I also got an eyeshadow brush as an extra gift, the promotion is still on their website, everyone gets it.

They really came in great packaging and they looked great. I won't make a full review just yet, because I've only been using them for a week or so, but so far I think they are rather good value for the money - not expensive at all. I am rarely using the concealer brush, because when I'm using concealer I just pat it into my skin with my fingers and the foundation flat brush is a bit small. I also have Missha flat foundation brush and it's a bit bigger, I dunno I guess I got used to it. Smaller one takes more time. I like the big size and softness of the powder brush, use it everyday! I also love loooove the angled blush brush! It's natural goat bristles and it's angled so it fits face's curves perfectly and is soooo soft and applies just a little bit of blush, so you can do a really super natural blush with this one. Of course you can apply more too if you want, I'm saying, it's practically impossible to harm yourself with this brush! If I could only get one brush, I would get this one! The duo fiber brush is really great for stippling on foundation. I was curious about stippling brushes for a while now and I got this one, tested it and now I'm thinking about getting another stippling brush! I like this one too, but I think it should be more dense!  The extra gift brush is very soft and cute, I like it.

Now there are some repeating complains in reviews, so I'll tell you how the brushes were for me. The ones I got don't shed a lot, except the big powder brush.... it sheds 4-6 hairs eveytime I use it and it's irritating as I'm finishing makeup with a bit of powder and I have to pick those brush hair of my face... D: But I guess, it will stop soon..? The other brushes don't shed at all. I washed them and the Duo Fibre brush bled a bit - when I washed it (with baby shampoo) and squeezed it to drain the water, it was gray, like the black bristles were losing color... :o So I dunno, this probably shouldn't be happening, but I like the Skunk brush a lot anyway! The stippling method really looks nice and it's so good for cream and powder blushes as well, because the white bristles are so soft. :D

So, that is my kind od initial impressions review. If you have any questions hit me and if you have those or other Sigma brushes (or other brushes), what would you recommend? Or what I should I stay away from?

You can buy those brushes here:



BTW, I ordered 2 x JELLY, Happie Nuts, Scawaii and BLENDA. XDDD Cured addiction my a**, lol.
