Look What I Got!

Here's me with the two cd's (hehe, I'm in pj's!)
You might not know this, but I actually have a love for Visual Kei, which is a style of Japanese music. I love it so much that pretty much 95% of the songs in my mp3 are specifically visual kei. I don't know what it is, but the music, fashion style, and just the connection between the audience and the bands, everything about vkei just draws me in. Yep, I've got a ton of posters for various bands on my wall!

That's why when I won these two Alice Nine CD's from Kawaii Kawaii Sugoi Blog, I was happy beyond words. Although I don't really listen to that band much anymore(became mainstream), I still stay faithful to them because Alice Nine was the first that really got me hooked to Visual Kei. You could say that it changed my whole perspective on life.


That was just a little something I wanted to share to you guys, since I feel really lonely being the only one in my school interested in vkei. Just trying to spread the love. :)

Anyways, here's what else I got:



Got these in 3 Separate swaps:
-Kose Esprique Precious Liquid Eyecolor Stylish in BL900 (omg, gorgeous! I have to show you sometime!)
-NARS Orgasm Illuminator Sample (first NARS product!)

-benefit BADgal lash Mini Mascara
-Lancome Le Secret Sample Eye Powder (holy crap, best color EVER!!! Scroll down for swatch)

-MAC Pink Opal Sample
-MAC Quick Frost Sample
-MAC Pink Pigment Sample (IDK the name)
I love MAC, but I can never afford it! Luckily, pigment samples are a lot cheaper and you get to experiment with more colors. :)



Also, I stopped by Chinatown last week and discovered a tiny store that sold phone straps for insanely cheap. I got 4 for $5, what a steal! If you didn't know already, I have an obsession with kawaii phone straps and my collection is always expanding!


As promised, here's Lancome Le Secret (layered over stila smudge pot violet):


and what is looks like in light:


AMAZING RIGHT? It's sort of like a mermaid kind of color, you get what I mean?
Wow, I think I might even buy the full product in the future!

I haven't experimented this with other colors yet, but I'm looking forward to it. xD

Have a great weekend everybody! It's difficult to blog when I also have 3 tests next week, homework, and fencing practice 3 times a week, but I'm trying!

Some Goodies I Received in the Mail~

I'm a bit late posting this, but on Saturday, I was so excited to get 2 packages in the mail! The first one was from Cheryl: Oh to be a Muse. It included 4 sweet ELF products and my favorite of the bunch, a double finger HOPE ring! Thanks a bunch, Cheryl! ^_^

Also in the mail, was a book called Such a Pretty Girl. I found out about it on swaptree and had to have it! If you don't know, swaptree is an awesome website where you can trade your books/cds/dvds for the ones you want. It's so cool, and free too!

Thanks for reading!

I won Hilda's Giveaway! + Clothing Haul

I'm so happy, I won Hilda's giveaway from her blog, Tip on Nails, and I got to pick my favorite konad plate. I chose M77, the designs are so cute and pretty!




Bummer, I wish I could try them on my nails, but I don't have a stamper or scraper! T_T

Onto the haul...



Last Saturday, I dropped by the Century 21 store in Long Island (3 floors of shopping heaven!) and bought this super cute top and dress (pic below). I instantly fell in love with this top at first sight! It's so cute and elegant at the same time. The design reminds me of the old Victorian Era style of clothing, which I totally love!




This is such a cute dress, too bad it's only meant to be used for sleeping! I was a bit hesitant to buy this a first because of the price, but super cute sewing print and perfect little yoyos tempted me!

Thanks for reading!
