Foxy Tails

Hi there! Sorry it's been such a long time since I've posted. There has been a lot of personal things happening for me so I haven't been in the mood for anything at all.

I thought I'd do a quick update after seeing the September issue of Vivi.

Whoever is a fan of Ayumi Hamasaki must recognize this picture..from her Evolution video. See the fox-ish tail? I was so obsessed with that back when the video came out that I bought 2 tails for myself to clip on the side! Everyone thought I was silly, but hey, you learn in highschool.

I bought these at a store in Markville mall like 8 years ago? and I didn't want to throw them out, thinking there might be a use for them some time in the future haha. The white one I would tie onto the side of my jeans while the black one had a clip hidden somewhere in the fur.

And lookie here.... September Vivi

Everyone thought I was crazy...

Hmmmm....should I clip it on one of my bags too? But I'm not sure if it'll look ok with my huge bags, I don't really own smaller bags XD

Let's be clear too, if you don't have anything nice to say about this post, I'd appreciate if you didn't say anything at all.

Weekend Update

My second TESL course is starting tomorrow so I'm not sure when I'll have time to post again.
It's such a beautiful day today but I'm stuck inside doing nothing but playing with my makeup.

I have another long lost eyeshadow I got from my Tokyo trip, the Coffret D'or single eyeshadow in WN-33 that came out last spring/summer.
It's a really deep purple shade that's meant for lining. It has a lot of fine shimmers but doesn't really show up upon application.
I picked it up as an impulse buy in Japan, I didn't want to leave empty handed from one of the drugstores. I've only used it once but didn't like it at the time due to the lack of staying power, but I had to give it a second chance.

I chose this color because the model at the time was using it. I skipped out on the white shadow because I already had my Jill Stuart one.



The shadow is a bit deeper than in the picture, there was too much light in my room.

The first time I used this as a liner, the shadow went everywhere and didn't stay. This time I used a black pencil liner as a base to help it stick and last longer.

I made a pretty thick line with the shadow but it didn't appear too overwhelming when my eyes are opened. It's a nice change from using black all the time.

It's Sunday, I get lazy and didn't do the base makeup nicely which explains the blurring.

With the Coffret D'or Shining Eyeliner in WT-04 for more shimmer.

So that's it for now! Still waiting for my Yes Style package. One of my items was discontinued so I had to call them to replace with something else and now I gotta wait all over again for the item to be in stock.
I also ordered 5 China Glaze polishes from 8ty8beauty and it's almost been a month's wait. They're located in New York so I don't understand why it's still not here. I didn't realize that there was no tracking number until after I placed the order. They didn't e-mail me back to let me know until after it was sent out. $15 shipping and no tracking number? I thought UPS has one. Grrr... Has anyone else ordered from them?

Glamourous March 2010, not a lot of makeup tutorials.

Sweet (March) This issue was a bit on the boring side, didn't find any makeup tutorials. They have a list of top 35 makeup items though.

Vivi March 2010

Some scans of the new Vivi. I already have the April one but haven't looked through it yet.

Seems like this season is all about the nude eyes, time to break out my Lunasol Beige Beige palette more often!

Notice in one of the makeup tutorial pages there's a Maybelline BB base? I wonder if it's gonna be available in North America, unless it already is and I'm just outdated.

I'm so in love with one of the new Coach bags.

Time To Go Out

I found time to update! And eewwweee....I don't like this layout, but I wanted my pictures enlarge-able when clicked on so I had to change it. Haha, and this was the best I could do with my banner picture.
Waiting to go out right now so I just took a picture of what I did. Why are the colors all washed out!? -__-'
I'm almost out of my favourite lipstick (Maquillage PK705) so I changed it up to Lunasol 02 Coral Pink so I can savor the last bits of the Maquillage.

Tried to do a smoke-ish eye with lotsa silver shimmer.
Ayumi Hamasaki on February Vivi, gorgeous as always.
