Yesstyle Order! Bbi@ Last Blush Review

Today's post is a review I wanted to do since ages XD Months ago I received some new

and skincare stuff from Yesstyle, but I still didn't got a chance to show you my favorite piece XD

I've got Peripera eyebrow pencil, Etude House tear eye liner & brow mascara, some eyepatches, Canmake brow palette and a new blush

My favorite piece was the blush:

It's the Bbi@ Last Blush in #05 Berry Blossom color

It's almost a perfect dupe of the Candydoll blush in Strawberry Pink!!

A tiiiiny bit more reddish than the Candydoll one but it's really similar

Here's a swatch of both:

Upper stripe is the Candydoll blush

Bottom stripe is the Bbi@ blush:

The Bbi@ one is even more pigmented!

The texture is smooth & silky and you don't need a lot of product to show it up, and with such a cheap price it's the perfect alternative to the Candydoll blush, especially now that it's not produced anymore :/

Here's how it looks on my skin!

It's such an adorable shade of strawberrymilk/barbie pink

full of pigments and vibrant, I only needed two touches (one for each cheek) to get this intensity *A* The texture is super silky too!

Sadly since it's so pigmented it stains a bit if touched, so I totally recommend to combine it with a good setting spray ^^"

I think it should be a staple makeup item for every 2010's gal

So my final review is:

Color: ★★★★★

Texture: ★★★★★

Finish: ★★★★☆

(cuz it's so pigmented that stains if touched)

Price: ★★★★★

Overall: ★★★★★

So do you like this blush? Will you try it? I hope this review was useful :D

Speak to you soon!

Yours, Natsumin~

Gyaru Q&A pt. 2: Makeup version!

ヤッホー~

How are you? I hope you're having a nice gal month until now :D Today I want to share with you my second gal challenge! I really want to contribute to this month's activities so I thought it was time to share this :D I'll quit talking and show you the new challenge, this time all about make up

Let's go!

UP CHALLENGE!

Name:

Natsumin!

Your Style:

Generally gyarukei but my fav substyles are agejo and tsuyome!

Your Makeup Style:

I love every makeup style from gyaru but I try to stick to my EGG fav models makeup from 2009/2010, especially Yumachi and Chie:

Yumachi

Chie

So I prefer to use heavy dramatic lashes combined with light eyeshadow in natural colors, cuz I love to see my eyelashes and eyeliner pop up more than the rest! But when I work or I feel lazy I prefer Okarie's style from 2008:

Okarie

She uses only heavy upper lashes while the rest is quite light and easy (= fast) to do. I love the brown eyeshadow detail in the outer corner of the eye, it makes the lower lashes stand out even without falsies

Your Makeup Reference:

As I said I try to stick to 2009 style, but since one of my fav substyles is agejo, sometimes I like to take inspo from AGEHA :) so my reference generally are my fav models: Chie, Yumachi, Sakurina and Satomin

Satomin

Sakurina

Yumachi

Chie

I love how simple yet outstanding those makeups are! Chie, Yumachi and Satomin like to look more natural and in contrast Sakurina's makeup is so dramatic!

Your Favorite Makeup Brands:

Rn my faves are NYX, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Too Faced and Benefit!

Last year I was a lot into Douglas basic makeup line but they changed the formula and removed my fav concealer T_T so I don't buy from their brand anymore, but it was my fav, sigh

Your Must Have Products:

Surely those!

Make Up For Ever fixing spray: I tried a lot of sprays but this one is the best until now (second place is NYX spray), especially this summer it helped my makeup stay up even in the pool!

NYX Total Control Pro foundation: I love this foundation! It has a high coverage, a must for me, which I had acne during my teenage years that left me some scars ^^" it's good for eyebags too! But beware that imho it has a neutral tone so it can look grey over someone else :/ (like the model on NYX makeup site ^^")

NYX Epic Ink Liner: the tip is really thin and it's a pen so it's the most comfortable eyeliner I ever had :D

CandyDoll Blush: in Strawberry Pink it's a must! There's nothing more gal than bright pink cheeks

YSL Lipstick: I love it in Peachy Light! It's a pinkish orange with a shiny effect :D

Your Favorite Makeup:

Probably this one! This time I was wearing "Le Blush" blush from L'oreal in Nectarine while my eyeshadow is from Naked palette.

I like that it looks so golden :D

Your Last Makeup:

Not my best one for sure XD but it was the last I took a pic of www

I like the eyeliner but I can do the lower line more accurate and I need different false lashes! But I like the eyebrows, I think XD

Others Favorite Makeup:

This makeup from Risa is to die for T___T!! It's really different from what I do usually, I love the black eyeshadow and glitter eyeliner! I want to try it soon!

THIS AINA MAKEUP T____T!!! It's so beautiful, I love the glittery blue eyeshadow and the lower eyelashes/eyeliner is perfection! I want to try it T_T

This Georgiepiyo makeup ;w; it's so cute, I love how her eyes stand out in contrast with pink lips T_T if somebody asks me how a gal makeup should look like, I'd probably show this cuz imho the most important points are really visible!!

Last but not least is this Akichu wonderful eyemake!! I'm so IN LOVE. It's perfect for summer and the beach, and I adore how neat is her eyeliner T_T Also the lenses combined with the blue (eyeliner? eyeshadow? pls tell meeee) makes me think about gorgeous, hawaiian blue seas, it's impossible to not love it

Top 5 Items from your Makeup Collection:

I'm sorry www but I just love my small CandyDoll collection!

Here we have CandyDoll lipglosses (Macaroon Pink, Gelato Glitter), lipsticks (Poodle Pink, Ramune Pink), blushes (Peach Pink, Strawberry Pink), highlight (Cream Beige) and eyeshadow (n.02, grey x red)

Top 5 Items from your Makeup Wishlist:

From left to right:

Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Toffee

Too Faced Peach Pink Lipstick in Peach Beach

SheIn Cloud Nine Palette

SheIn Chill Palette

Your Makeup Storage:

I store most of my products in this Cecil McBee bag! And I use this Ma*rs mirror to do my makeup at home www

I also have a pink organizer for my brushes and tools and I keep some products on the shelves in my bathroom, but since it's still not well organized (read: a big mess) I'll avoid to take a pic www

I don't do anything special to store them, and I'm probably making a mistake XD I just keep them away from light and heat, clean my brushes often (I have a specific brush-sponge for this) and that's all, I think lol

What's in your Makeup Bag:

The makeup bag I always carry in my bag is this Ravijour pouch! It looks small but can contain so much :D I also carry this compact mirror I got as gift from Japan which can stand up alone, which is really useful :D (I also have the lashes case and lenses case from the same series but I forgot to take a pic sorry ww)

And this is what's inside!

Face: NYX "Can't stop Won't Stop" powder + mini kabuki

NYX "Can't stop Won't Stop" concealer

Make Up For Ever fixing spray

Contouring: Maxfactor Pan stick in cool bronze

Canmake Contouring palette

Eyes: NYX Epic Ink Liner

Marc Jacobs mascara

Sephora lash glue

Sephora "Must-Have" Travel palette

Blush: L'oreal "Le Blush" in Nectarine

CandyDoll in Strawberry Pink

Lips: YSL Volupte Shine in Peachy Light

Heart Lipstick from Aliexpress in pink (it has a red lipstick inside a bright pink lipstick to make a bigger lips effect)

And that's it! I hope you liked it! If you want to try here's the template, just copy and paste (you can delete the suggestion between parentheses)!

Mercari/Fril.jp Monotone Haul + JSS Review

Hello!

OMG it's been 10 days since my last post XD I've been through a lot last week but there's one good thing: I got lots of draft www I just hadn't time to finish them until now, sorry ;w; I've got new lenses, skincare mini sizes, magazines and videogames that I want to review :D I can't wait to post them all www

Anyway today's post is about my last Mercari/Fril.jp order that I made thanks to JSS service that I want to review!

If you never used it, here's the link:

Link

What can I say about this service? That I love it! The site is really easy to use and the fee is SO.CHEAP. I've used a lot (and I mean A LOT) of shopping services and this is the cheapest, I can swear. Most of shopping services asks you to pay a minimum of 500yen for EACH item you bid, but this service asks not for 500, but 300 yen as minimum, and not for each item but for THE WHOLE ORDER!! (it is even cheaper if you use auto-bid)

The best for you is to order a bunch of items all together and enjoy your cheapest order ever XD

The storage fee is just 25yen for day/item, starting after 30days of hold (I usually pay 100 LMAO) and packing is free up to 3 ORDERS (not items!!) then it's just 500yen for each order more :D

Also the service is really fast! I ordered on morning, around lunch time, and in the same evening they did it :D so the chances of losing your favorite item are really low. The communication is clear and fast too, they speak a really good english and reply as soon as they can (within 12 hours in my case).

Here you can see how easy is to order:

Once you sign in/log in, click on the order button, then on Auction (manual)

Now you just need to check how many items you want to buy (if more then 1, wait for the page to update so the form can multiply) and fill the form with links, prices etc.

Easy, don't you think? :D

Also they have good shipping prices, maybe thanks to the low packing fee but also the shipping was cheaper than the usual XD I'm not an EMS expert, but I think 6000yen for 4kg shipped with EMS it's a fair price :)

The only con of this service is that, since it's so cheap, they don't offer a "accurate check" service like Buyee or Japonica, they don't check carefully the order when it arrives, they just check if everything is arrived and then proceed to pack them. In fact I got every item inside its original envelope LMAO which I really adore cuz I LOVE japanese stamps and stickers (my collector soul is burning ahahahah)

In the end my vote is ♥♥♥♥♥/5 cuz in value for money this shopping service is the best for me!!

Now let's see what I got!

1. Magazines!

MY SOUL IS BURNING pt.2

you can't imagine how much inspo is in those issues!! Really, if you can, try to get them!! Those are May and June 2009, and we all agree that it was the best year XD

The only problem... is that May issue came like this

WHYYYYYYYY

Why? Why? Why tear a page apart??? It can be just an accident, but the seller should've stated that T____T all my magazines are in pristine conditions, and now this just ruins my whole collection... It makes me so sad also because it will be a problem to make scans with a page like this... SO SAD

But I'm still lucky cuz I got them and they're already my favorite issues after Oct'12 and August'10... So I shouldn't really complain ^^"" I just wish I knew...

This also confirms that JSS doesn't check carefully what arrives, but I can't really blame it for that, cuz they should've, like, flip through the magazine to find out ^^" so this doesn't really change my opinion on the service!

2. Girl's Life DVD

I'M.

SO MUCH.
ON FIREEEEEEEEEEEE

My fangirling is over 9000 (cit) right now!!! This movie was my bible was I was a teen and also the reason I dress agejo XDDD

This movie is... I just... can't XDDDD I'm sorry but everytime I see it I return a teenager and I can't control myself XD

Ok, let's try to review it XD

What can I say? It's the original Girl's Life DVD! The movie we all know and love (If you don't know it, here's IMDb page

)

(And if you never saw it, here's movie with subtitles

)
The DVD contains the movie, a BTS video and the trailer, but no subtitles at all, so keep this in mind if you decide to buy it ^^

I'll leave here the trailer for my fangirling and your delight XD

3. CandyDoll Makeup Pack

I was lucky again and found somebody who was selling this makeup lot for cheap!! Actually everything was packed except the eyeshadow, but since I was helped unpacking my whole order, my friend unboxed the blushes before I could tell him to not do it LMAO

Anyway... they're cute but as Tsuki pointed out those are probably expired... I still don't know what to do, I have to admit that I bought the lot on impulse cuz TSUCHAN but on packages I can't find the expire date so I don't knowwww

Also the lippies are so cute in their packaging, that's also why I don't want to open them www

4. Swimmer Hairbows

Cute and mokomoko, so cheap! I really recommend Swimmer for cute and cheap accessories, they're always sold for a few yen! The pink one is my favorite cuz it's an hairclip but also a brooch ^^

5. Lip Service Suspender Skirt

As you can tell from the title I mostly ordered black/white clothes XD The first thing was this skirt, I saw a lot of suspenders items in my 2009 EGGs so I wanted to try! It's size S and it fits fine, but it's soooo short XD (and that's one of the reasons I like it LMAO)

6. Lip Service Top Set
