A'PIEU Full of Color Eyeshadow Palette Doraemon Edition MONO BEST Swatches and Review☆

Hello!

A couple of days ago I got my A'PIEU Doraemon eyeshadow palette I ordered from ebay (mainly because of the cute packaging and glittery shades--) and I decided to do a swatch & review for you all! 

Sorry about the bad lighting in these photos... At this time of year we have like 3 hours of natural light here in Finland, so both of these pictures are taken in artificial light. I tired to photoshop the colors to look more genuine but natural light would have still been the best.. 

So the eyeshadow case has the same Doraemon picture on the lid as the cardborad box and it's just so cute! I also love all the shades, since cold toned eyeshadows don't really suit my pasty skin color and 

blue-green eyes. So these warm colors really are my cup of tea! They are also neutral enough, but still fun!

                       1. A cream-colored shimmery shadow (which you can hardly see since I'm so damn                                                        white)

                       2. A matte warm brown.

                       3. Almost a glittery version of the shade 2, but slightly more orange tinted

                       4. Looks like a nude color in the upper picture, but actually it's a matte peach color!

                       5. Very glittery rosey-pink

                       6. Very glittery, bright orange

                       7. Glittery light brown

                       8. A dark brown with some glitter

I don't really have experience with any extremely good (=expensive) eyeshadows, so the quality is what I'm used to: Very good and enough for me, but not perfect. The matte shadows are a bit chalky and none of the colors are very vibrant, but hey that's what I'm used so it doesn't bother me! I personally really like this palette and it's quite inexpensive too, so the quality is pretty much what I expected! I have no complaints, since I mainly bought it for the glittery shades and they are soooooo sparkly I'm so happy (♥ω♥ ) ~♪

See you again soon!

Playing With Gyaru-makeup☆

Hello everyone!

I've been sick with a flu for the last few days and didn't go to school today because of it, so I decided to make use of that time-- For a long time I've been wanting to try out proper Gyaru makeup just for fun so I decided to finally do it! Gyaru is my favorite style but I've never felt that the makeup style suits me.. I had my pretty unfortunate Gyaru phase when I was 15 I think, but after that I haven't really touched the style in anyway. Of course I've been following the Gyaru style online just like I did back then, since I love it, and I've been learning more and more about the makeup style. So I decided to put my skills to a test!

Please try to ignore my uncombed hair (I'm even still wearing my pyjamas--), but I'm really happy with how the makeup turned out! This is the first time I've been able to do a gyaru makeup that I feel actually suits me! I'm even thinking of doing a tutorial for this, (I really enjoy making tutorials) so please tell me if you'd be interested in one! Here's a closeup of the makeup:

I don't know what happened with my eyeliner on the left eye, so please ignore that too-- The top lashes I'm using are Dolly Wink's nro. 3 and the lower lashes are from ebay! And my lenses are my super old Princess Mimi Sesame Grays. These are definitely my favorite dolly lenses, and since they're loved by many many gal's they're perfect for Gyaru! I only noticed how my right eyelash is attached to my own lashes and oh damn that looks bad................... At least the makeup looks good with my eyes open!

And that's all! See you again soon! I'm thinking of doing an Ebay loot post again next, but I'm waiting for a few packages to arrive.

Recent ebay purchases☆

Hello everyone!

Ever since I figured how to combine my bank account with paypal, I've been going down a very slippery slope... Like many other people I love ordering things from internet, and what would be better than ebay, since you can find amazing things for a small price! So I've ordered quite a bit of stuff and thought I'd make a sort of 'loot' blogpost with what I have bought☆ Just a warning, this post is gonna be a little picture heavy!

So here's all the things! As you may see, I've already used some of the products, since for example, I have had the Baby Choux primer for over a month now-- Now let's continue on to the short reviews!

Dolly Wink No. 2 - Sweet Girly false eyelashes! I'm a pretty cheap person to be honest, so I hardly ever have the balls to buy genuine Dolly Winks (I prefer ordering those 3$/5 pairs type of lashes). But I've owned one package of Dolly Winks before, and I have to say; they really are worth the ~12$! Dolly Winks are always so soft and very durable! I've had my first Dolly Winks for like 5 years and they're still in a relatively good quality, especially since I rarely use falsies. I've wanted to try the No. 2 lashes for a while now, so I decided to pamper myself after making some money at a facebook cosplay fleemarket.

Off-brand Cherry hair bow! I love the use of cherries in fashion, so I just had to order one of these for those days when I feel like looking cute! The quality of it is pretty good, but I can't expect high quality for something I payed 1€ for-- so the cheap prize shows, but I don't mind it!

Yin Yang Choker! I love chokers and rarely use any kind of other jewelry, so I wanted to add a new choker to my collection (of one other choker)! The quality is very good considering I payed 80 cents for it and I really love the design!

ETUDE HOUSE Baby Choux Base in Mint Choux! I'm very pale so naturally any redness on my face looks ten times worse than if I was tanned.. But this product solved my problem! Etude House is one of my favorite makeup brands, because of the good quality and cheap prize, so I decided to see if they had a green tinted primer. And they did! This primer smells amazing and really helps to cover any redness from my face! It's amazing how good this product is, considering it cost me ~8€. 10/10 would recommend!

ETUDE HOUSE Cupcake All Over Color in Strawberry Chiffon Cake! I wanted to get a cream blush and ended up going with Etude House again, because of the cheap price! (Also I'm weak for super cute packaging--) And this product smells so amazing..! The scent reminds me off strawberry ice cream and I just love it! The color is a lovely pink and even though this product is sort of a 'tint' (you can use it as lipstick or eyeshadow too) it really works very well as a blush! The pigment is nice, but nothing too bright and you can really build layers of it up to get the color and pigment you want. As a lip color it doesn't really suit me though, but I don't care since I ordered it for a blush! This product cost about 7€ so again, very cheap!

ETUDE HOUSE Styling Eyeliner in Black! This was actually an accidental purchase-- I was looking for a thin liquid eyeliner for a cheap prize and went with Etude House, but unfortunately the packaging of this product is so so similar to their liquid eyeliner! So I accidentally bought a pencil type eyeliner.. I didn't really mind, because this was only a little over 3€ and since I use a pencil eyeliner to fill in my waterline anyway, this product came handy after all! 

CANMAKE Four Shiny Eyes eyeshadow in Mandarin Chocolat! This is something I've wanted for ages! I looove anything glittery and sparkly and nothing that I know is sparklier than CANMAKE's eyeshadows! But since I am very stingy with my own money, I've never dared to buy one of their palettes... But since I made some money selling stuff on facebook, I really wanted to treat myself with one of their palettes finally! They're not even too expensive (this was about 13€) but like I said, I'm stingy-- But I absolutely loooove this palette and can't wait to buy more CANMAKE products!

ETUDE HOUSE Tear Drop liner in #1 White Tear! Like I said, I love glitter and have been really looking for a nice glitter eyeliner to use to highlight the inner corners of my eyes and this product is just perfect! It has fine little glitter particles in it that sparkle so magically when light hits them! This is definitely one of my favorite makeup products right now!

Lower Eyelash-falsies assortment! I was so amazed when I was browsing falsies on ebay and ran into this! This is one of the best things I've seen and an essential every cosplayer could use! It has 10 pairs of lower false eyelashes and each pair is different which is perfect for achieving the correct eyeshape and look for cosplays, since for some cosplays you might need natural ones, and for some spiky ones for example. This cost only 3$ which is amazingly cheap! I haven't yet used these, but they feel nice and soft!

So that's all of my spendings for now! Hope you enjoyed reading this post and if you have something to ask, please comment below this post!☆
