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
