Hello gals!
I want to warn you about the kumimakiko or makiko online shop!!
They sold me a replica that was broken, stained and with bad sewing!!
Please reblog this message to warn all gals to NOT buy from this shop.
Read more about it in my blogpost here:

♡ thought…
….i was moving, but i guess not. between work, home life, art, etc, i’m way too busy to maintain a full on blog. i will continue to post here for now~ hullo, person!
from l to r; colorburst, super lustrous & moon drops~
absolutely in ♥ w/revlon lipstick. normally chanel or dior has my ♡ but seriously, revlon’s gorgeous formulas and mad ridiculous line of shades is simply amazing for the price & availability.
from l to r; ♥ #070 Soft Nude, #240 Sandalwood Beige, #613 Just Enough Buff, #120 Apricot Fantasy, #668 Primrose, #430 Softsilver Rose, #674 Coral Berry, #702 Blase Apricot & #704 Peach Silk.
their moon drops line (green tubes on the far light) are INCREDIBLY bright, pigmented & packs a punch to your face. “blase apricot” ironically, is one of the flashiest corals i’ve ever seen while “peach silk” has a little less of a red undertone and more of a pink making it slightly more wearable for every day use at work or errands. my favourite coral shade is definitely “coral berry” from their lustrous line as it’s 101% appropriate for daily use & reminds me of that gorgeous orange-pink combo they use for the j.crew catalouge models ♥ their shades come in “creme” or “pearl” although even the creme shades still may have a shimmer or two depending on the colour. i LOVE their nudes and neutrals to death. “soft nude” is the only shade i’ve snagged from their colorburst collection & despite the very light, chalky colour, it feels lightweight, silky and applies smooth.
normally at wal-mart or target, their lustrous line is around $4-6 a pop while drugstores tend to charge a standard $8.99 or so. however i would recommend checking swatches online as US drugstores don’t have samples. also, revlon’s colour previews on their website & even the sticker at the bottom of the tubes are NOT accurate. at all. “blase apricot” is presented as a neutral, peach-brown but trust me, it’s near fluorescent! thankfully the caps have a little window but it’s difficult to tell just by peeking in…. ♥
a-freakin-mazing. ♥
i highly, highly, highly recommend picking up chanel’s vitalumiere aqua perfecting make-up. as opposed to using primer, concealer, foundation & powder, this relatively new formula is like a second skin eliminating the need for multiple products. both foundation & a tinted lotion in one, its extremely gentle and spring water-like mineral texture applies easily with fingers & smooths out pores, fine lines and blemishes. after getting a quick colour match at macy’s, i’ve been using it since sunday with simply amazing results: a gorgeous, matte finish throughout the entire day, rain, humidity & all.
combined with blush, mascara and a quick fix of lip colour, this is totally going to simplify my work-morning make up routine ♥♥ sooo worth the $$!
maury show taping ♥
to celebrate my birthday last week, we finally went to see the maury show live (in person). for those unfamiliar or not residing in the US, the maury show is the epitome of the american way: tons of random debauchery, ignorance and of course, lie detector/DNA test madness. it’s not so much an actual talk show as it is a circus-like madhouse of idiotic ranting and screaming. sadly, it happens to be the highlight of my morning while getting ready for work every weekday (lol).
i ordered tickets a month or so for free in advance and received them about a week before the taping. located in downtown Stamford, CT, its location was literally right off of I-95 so it was quite easy to find. since the show was early friday morning, we rented a cheap motel room about nine minutes away for convenience sake.
despite reserving a seat, technically the tickets were still first come first serve, so we arrived around 8am (doors opened at about 9am). thankfully we did leave early as there was already quite a line of 100+ people out the door!
after patiently waiting, we made it through the initial bag check/metal detectors & were seated in a waiting lounge with several flat screen tv’s airing classic maury moments. ;;;
around 10:15 or so, we were led to the set’s entrance and called in 50 at a time. (charlie & i were numbers 140-141). thankfully we actually made it in as afterward, we noticed a good number of people didn’t make the cut. charlie & i found great seats in the back so we could easily see everything around us.
for those thinking about scoring free tickets, do know, this is NOT a quiet event to attend: before briefing the audience on proper behavior, they pumped us up with blazing club music, dancing and general rowdy fun.
while it was glaringly obvious that the show is definitely meant to egg on & instigate the guests, i can 101% assure you, it’s real. oh my. is it real. despite the producers/directors having directional cards in hand to arouse anger in the more quiet guests, most of the people on the show were incredibly obnoxious/loud and generally.. insane. (one woman was STILL yelling so loud back stage that she had to be escorted out.) being in the audience also had its fair share of responsibilities: we were prepped beforehand on when exactly to stand, yell, cheer and boo. however the excitement of being there was honestly enough for most of us to jump to our feet every 2.5 seconds.
maury is exactly the same in person as on tv. if not even more hilarious between guests.
sadly since we were a little behind schedule, there was no time for pictures with the audience as he usually does.
(can you find us? HINT: next to the tallest guy in the room. lmao)
overall, it was an incredibly fun experience. ♥ i would honestly recommend it.. sure some consider the show sheer exploitation/trashiness, but as far as i’m considered, ya’all can keep your housewives/sex in the city/jersey shore & i’ll hit up 800-MAURY anytime~ it was an unforgettable birthday!
bday haul~ ♥
So, Friday was my birthday. Thankfully I had the weekend off & had a blast. We scored tickets to see the Maury Show live (more on that later) in Stamford Fri morning and it was so worth the troublesome NYC traffic~ ♥
Even though my bro had to head back home to Japan the week before last, he surprised me by leaving an awesome haul of cosmetics & gifts for my bday!
August’s issues of steady. & Sweet magazines came with adorable バッグINバッグ style pouches~ These are incredibly handy for stashing things in my purse on the go. He also grabbed two 7-11 brand exclusive ParaDo items: an eyemake palette (GN01) & a lip rouge (BE07). I’m totally amazed by the surprisingly high quality as I could almost swear the lip rouge was NARS or MAC. (☆▽☆)
Also, I winded up with goodies from Sephora thanks to the giftcard he purchased for me: I’ve been DYING to grab NARS bronzing palette which includes their award winning blush, highlighter and Laguna bronzer. As a bonus goodie I also decided to try PACIFICA’s new coconut scented bronzing lotion which is as delicious smelling as it sounds.
A huge thanks to my brother for the wonderful gifts~ ♥ I have to admit he was pretty brave to wonder into the cosmetics section ;;;;
