[03] // L'Miusa Haul + JP Phones in NA +SNAPS


LOVE LOVE LOVE these two looks from April's Jelly edition! I'm so jelly!!

I also fell in love with this pair of sneakers! (pink) So fun and bright~ m@u@m
 
       So finally here is a review about the Y! Taiwan order that arrived a few days ago. I ordered from the TW brand, L'Miusa. The item quality is a lot higher than i expected ^^ Tops and dresses range roughly from $12-15 CAD (on average, 1100円)VERY inexpensive! They have a lot of good pieces to use as basics in an outfit. Unfortunately they only ship within Taiwan and do not process oversees orders as far as i know. Customer service is pretty good as well, they skyped me quickly for any concerns.

[Comments] This is probably one of my favorite pieces. The fitting is very nice and the front part hangs well like it should. The fabric is thin but comfortable and easy to slip on.

[Sizing] M~L
[Comments] This onesize one piece is a bit bigger than i expected. The fabric, however, is ultra soft and stretchy! The one piece is intentionally worn off the shoulder and should be bigger however i just found for my own size that it is is awkwardly big for me. Besides the fitting, it is generally a nice piece.



[Rating] ****/*****
[Sizing] XS
[Comments] These are SUPER short shorts. If a little puffier, i'd say they belong in the bloomers category rather than shorts. These work well if worn under dresses or one pieces...it adds a very cute but simple touch to the outfit. The only thing is that i really does fit XS. I recommend for those who are pant size 24/25 and under.

[Comments] A simple cotton shirt. Comfy and good fitting.

[Comments] This is actually two seperate pieces. The material of the top is a bit transparent so they included a white tank top as a set. The quality is very good! I was surprised that after trying it on it looked very similiar to the model. Hangs very well on the body and has a very light polka dot pattern which blends in well. My favorite item out of the order.

[Comments]Simple cotton leggings. Very comfortable and easy to slip on. Great to match with a long T-shirt/onepiece and a pair of boots ^^ Downside was that the reindeer pattern was upside down. I don;t think it was intentional haha.

OVERALL: ****/*****
It's in comparison to H&M quality of clothes. Definately a lot higher than i expected for the price you pay. Great customer service. Fast shipment to my relatives. Only one item went OOS with my order :3 Will definately have some real snaps later on of me wearing some ^^

{Japanese Cell Phones}







Cecil McBee? Pinky Girls? CocoLuLu? Whyy....I'm so jelly!!!!!! <33
I heard a lot of people talking about Japanese cell phones being on their wish list. I'm sure many fashion fanatics are in love with the different unique styles and designs that JP phones have to offer.  Oddly speaking, many people who want these phones aren't even living in Japan. I'll give you a breakdown on the usage of these phones outside Japan...specifically in North America.

People have designed ways to unlock these cell phones and make them usable in other countries. There are 2 different unlock types. The first type of phone is one that is programmed within to unlock its features. The second type (more common) are ones that use hypersims/inex sim cards etc that are to be inserted ontop of your own sim card. Unlocking allows for usage of features such as calling, texting, camera, video etc. Each phone varies in number of features that are able to unlock. Some phones are able to do almost all while others...only basic calling and camera. Texting is used as "SMS" format. Currently there is no way to input MP3 ringtones without going to Japan. Some phones won't even allow you to input a midi file. A lot of features in general are uncompatible to your own network. Phones generally sell for $550-950 brand new in other coutries (Canada, US, China, Korea).

In Canada, the two main providers (basically the same company) are Rogers and Fido which carry sim cards. They are also, i believe, the best network for signal. So those of you thinking about getting a Japanese phone with a WIND mobile company....give up. Chances of losing signal or not getting any are very high with a company who has few towers.

6 reasons why you should not use a JP phone unless you're in Japan
  1. Reception is a bitch.
  2. Expensive (Phone + Hypersim card)
  3. Limited features....more like no features
  4. Texting by each button [there are no word filters/look-ups]
  5. No custom ringtones
  6. Downloading MP3 songs [for listening purpose] takes a long process
6 reasons why you should use a JP phone
  1. They look cool
  2. They look cool
  3. They look cool
  4. They look cool
  5. They look cool
  6. They look cool
Had i debated with myself longer about this....i would have definately not bought one....>>




..........i only recently changed to an IPhone4 "orz Life is so much easier now.

{QUICK SNAP}

Definately 'just for fun' haha.... i have my hair tied up btw. My friend Wei said the jackets were hilarious.

{Q&A}
Your dog is super cute! :O What kind is he?
He is a lhasa Apso ^^ Just a reminder of how fluffy he is---->
I have a question tho about the fake eyelashes, do you curl your real lashes with the fakes one??
Hey good eye!~ A lot of people don't really notice that...or at least i've been told. I've tried curling my natural ones before and i didn't see much difference. When i used a curler, eyelashes often turn into an 90-degrees right shaped "L". Didn't fancy that look much. I also tried with a heat curler and ....ehh felt it looked unnatural. Ironic right? xD; Leaving my natural ones as is actually gave my eye a little shadow effect = larger haha...imo

Also, thanks for the comments on the previous post ^^ Much appreciated and love to hear what you guys think as well <3

[02] // {VUITTON BABYxMAGIC SHOW} Lash Review + Adjustment Bureau +SNAPS


This is Vuitton Baby!! Three years old and love him to death! Such a smart fluffy too~
You will probably see more photos of him than me in this blog wahaha ^^ Q___Q He's so fluffy... wahaha


{EYEMAZING x MELLIESH}

I absolutely LOVE these lashes!! I've been a long time user of Eyemazing but the combination of Eyemazing and Melliesh is great ^^ I gives such a big effect on the eye...

These lashes are constantly promoted in Popteen/Popsister magazines etc.




Without Lashes/Mascara


With Lashes & Mascara



The best thing about the Melliesh #06 Bottom lashes are that they are made to be cut in half and applied to the outer corners of the eye. Therefore, even though there are '2 sets' of lashes, it becomes 4 sets! They are natural and easy to apply. The lash line is not thick in comparison to Princess Lee (will talk discuss in future) lashes and feels very nice.
The Eyemazing No. 001 are always my favorite top lashes. You wouldn't believe how many times i've reused these! They feel so natural and are super durable! These lashes lasted me 31 days of daily wear^^ Every day for 31 days. I wanted to test out how long i can use these and for me it was suprised each day that it could keep its quality. This photo of me wearing them are of the 31st time~ One pack includes 3 sets which in turn i use for about 3 months!! Either i'm SUPER careful or they are just that amazing. 
Oh Matt Damon <3 ^^ I always enjoy his movies. I never saw the commercial for the Adjustment Bureau....even after watching it haha. I didn't know what the movie was about or of the other actors and walked in with my boyfriend with a certain level of expectation. To my surprise, seeing as i didn't know the storyline, the first 30-40 minutes were quite puzzling. Everything seemed...so normal. Where was the action? The mystery? The Matt DamonNESS? Yes, it was missing. Then BAM! It all came together and indeed i was satisfied. This is THE MOST i've seen Matt Damon sweat for a girl. It was pretty good, ***/*****.

I know when i review a movie i'm pretty critical about it since movies are big for me and my family. Please don't be offended from my reviews. No jokes, i watch an average of 7 per week. More than likely you can name a movie [english, chinese, japanese, korean and sometimes Russian] and the chances that i've also watched it are about 3/4. Mostly English though. No lies, try me!
WARNING SPOILERS-----
My first thought after watching the movie was wow... true love! But if you think about it...if you reeaaally think about it. To give up your chances of being President of USA, your career, her career, her DREAMS all for your side of the love? Just to recap in the beginning he only spent a few minutes with her in the mens washroom which was enough  to compel him to give up everything. Ok, true love you say, destiny you say i'll give it to you. That's probably the only thing that put me off a bit and made it less believable. Maybe some more scenes of them actually falling in love would have made it realistic. Other than that i think the story was pretty well put together given the amount of time they have to squish into a viewing. Matt Damon, fine acting as usual you awsome you.
