009 Loads of stuff.

A while back I posted about ordering a wig. I took some pics in it quite a while ago too but never posted.. so here are a few :)




So I bought it from ebay and it was quite cheap and the shipping was very quick! For those interested; Here's the shop/link.

I was very satisfied with it, even though the colour seems to be a bit more bright than it appears to be in the ebay/stock picture. When using flash you can tell it's fake, but in normal daylight I think, even though it has a very bright colour, it looks quite real. I posted this picture somewhere else a while ago and a lot of people initially thought this was my own hair and that I had dyed it.


It's super voluminous! So if you're looking for a wig with a lot of volume/poofyness, this is the one for you! (I think they sell it in different colours than this one too.) You also get a free wig cap!                                                                                        


So I decked out in mori clothes and took some pics in our autumn garden as you can see :D I really love this wig a lot, it's great quality. Last pic is in a slightly darker room inside.
Took this pic earlier this week.. Practising a bit with my make up :) I actually dyed my hair lighter today and I really like the colour! But I haven't taken any pictures yet... too busy buying and wrapping christmas presents @_@

Talking of Christmas... I probably wont blog until after new years, so for those who read this; I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year! I hope 2012 will be lovely :) ♥

008 Christmas tree!

Today I set up our new christmas tree! It was very excited, I had never done it on my own before.. But it went very well. The kits thought it was very excited too, I had to shoo them away from the tree a thousand and one times, haha.


Here's the finished result! :D I'm quite happy with it although it was hard to divide the lights everywhere @_@
Then I decided to dress up in my maid outfit, since we wanted to put some X-mas greets from the maids of the cafe on our site...






Here's our website; http://www.sparklingpotpourri.com/ Although it's a little un-updated ^^;

I explored my new home town a little more today and found we have a river island, new look, republic, jane norman, topshop & H&M!! I can totally shop here, great :D

007 Vivienne Westwood/ Hervia review

Hi everyone,

It's been a while but here's a little post. It's a review for a bracelet I got at the beginning of August from my boyfriend for my birthday.


This is what it looked like when I got it~ He ordered it for me from Http://http://www.hervia.com/
I was thrilled and I thought it was amazing, I was so happy with it!

But... after a month or so, the bracelet started discolouring... and not a little either :(



It got even worse after that, the whole back is gone coppery now.. as well as the chain and the front and edges. I send Hervia an email about it, since Vivienne Westwood isn't exactly cheap and i'd expect some quality from them.... yet the email I got back said that I could send it back for inspection, but there would be a big chance I wouldn't get it back. What the hell?? I mean, I told them I got it from my boyfriend for a birthday present... It wasn't cheap and... They'll expect me to just send it away like that? Uhm, no. They didn't offer anything in compensation and I was pretty dumbfound by that.

I love Vivienne Westwood and her stuff, but I don't think I'll be buying from them in the future.

006 More gets and a day outdoor :)

Hi everyone!
I Finally ordered some lower lashes from ebay (OwO);; very excited to get them and try them out.. I've been wanting to try them for a long time, but never could find any good cheap ones.. (I don't wanna spend a lot of money and then find out they don't suit me!) but I found some for 2 euros today so I went ahead and ordered them :)

I also bought this :




I got this wig, yay! I was doubting between some other longer ones and brown ones... but I thought this one was cute and won't tangle as easily as a longer one.. and it looks quite natural even though it's a red colour :) I hope it'll be as nice as on the picture!









Today I went to the park with my parents and our doggie, I was a lot of fun and I just love autumn.. so pretty!



I really like mori style, I hope it shows in my outfit of today :)

Hopefully i'll post again soon with my new lashes!

005 New gets and eyebrows~

Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since I posted, but since i'll be moving into my new apartment soon I didn't have very much money to spend on fashion.. :( boo!

But today I could spend a little money and I got some stuff :D

Cute silky scarf from the H&M
Cool stole from H&M :D really love this... thinking about buying the dark brown one aswell >_<




New lipsticks I bought. The one above this one is with flash and without... I think it looks so different!? haha.. Looks much more like the without flash pic, more orange/coral. Luckily, because that was what I was looking for :)
Woohoooo! I bleached my eyebrows!











So yes, I decided after all those years... it was time to finally try and bleach my eyebrows! I was a bit nervous but I just went for it :) and i'm very happy with the results!
Even though my natural hair colour is dirty/dark blonde my eyebrows are very dark and bushy naturally :'( haha.. I didn't mind when my hair was darker but after summer it's almost blonde again (my fringe at least) so yep. Time to lighten up~♥

Crazy eyes, wtf. Before the bleaching!! I was quite nervous to do it..

Hurhur

After bleach :) you can't see too good in the pics, but I'm really happy with the results!      
 


I'm sad to see the summer I didn't really have go, but autumn is also an amazing season and as you can tell my all the colours I bought... I happily invite it! ...Just hope it won't be too much rain, haha.

004 Make up & a little cheat

Hiiii everyone~! ☆

I'm feeling great even though I had a very tiring week =O= did lots of work and cleaning.. ! heh.
Now it's weekend though and it feels great :)

The other day I felt like trying out my make up skills again and do some better gyaru make... So here's the result! Sorry for the dark pics, it was after work so it was already starting to get dark outside.. :(

  
Yeah I could do without the eyebags >_>;; heh. I was pretty happy with how the make up came out though! Looks like huge doll eyes, hehe ♥
I'm thinking about dying my hair again, because the colour is fading and it will continue to do so in summer... No idea what colour though (○A ○);; I love red, but it always washes out so quickly..
Any suggestions from any of you? ♥

As for the title of my post.. I have a little money making cheat for you all :)
If you, like me, love to buy from http://www.asos.com/ and you're from europe (sorry not the UK!) there's a little catch. Usually on online shops I just put in Euro as currency and shop... but here, if you keep it on Brittish pounds it's cheaper! The currency will then be calculated by paypal when you pay... but when you change it on the site itself it changes it but adds more, for taxes and stuff I guess! I saved 5 euros on my last order and even though it sounds like a little.. it's still saved money I can spend on other things! ~☆
I thought it was pretty awesome :)

One last pic of my mug because it shows my make better... don't mind the silly fish mouth ~w~ I like to make faces when I take pics or I just feel boring.

Well, that's all for now! Hope everyone has a great weekend~

003 ~☆ BB cream review~☆

So here's a little review of my first ever BB Cream \(○A ○)\


I'm not a big pink fan, but doesn't the package alone makes you want to buy it? Totally cute ♥
So the brand is SKIN79 and till thus far it's been very nice.

A little intro for those unfamilair with BB cream;

BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm, Blemish Base or Beblesh Balm, is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia.
Originally formulated in Germany, it was initially used by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients protect, soothe and refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post-laser scars, acne and other blemishes.
(Taken from wikipedia)

Basically you use this cream as your foundation. They advertise that since it's moisturising aswell, you won't need to use normal day/night creams anymore either but i still stick to that anyway otherwise i feel dehydrated (=w=);;
I gotta say that it's a very handy product and it feels very smooth on your skin.
It covers blemishes, but if you have serious acne or spots you might want to use some concealer over the BB cream anyway.

The first day I wore it my friend, who didn't knew anything about the me wearing my new cream, studied my face a little and noted "Wow, your skin looks so smooth today! " I went all sparkly and told her about my new wonder cream, haha~☆
So i've been using it over a week now and am very satisfied with it, especially since it's not such an expensive item either ☺!

Price: € 18, 79
Bought at: http://www.bbcreamshop.eu/

002 Personal style..

So here I am, already writing my second post :)!

 The last real shopping spree I had was a week ago when i visited beautiful London~ ♥


Needless to say it was awesome and the shops were even better! :D
Among some of the things I bought there was this cute peter pan collared dress..

Excuse my srz face, just look at the cute dress :D
I've been looking for something like this for a while so i was thrilled when i found it for pretty cheap, hehe.


So lately i've been wanting to wear two styles a lot.. which are Gyaru and vintage style clothing.. A bit of an odd combination i guess?
I've been going for the vintage look a bit more since I can't wear gyaru to my work (unless it's mori style with simple make up).. so it's been more of a off day/weekend thing, but I'm trying to get better and wear it more often :D This blog should help me a little with looking at my own style and how to improve, I hope.



This week I got in my cute vintage dress i ordered from ebay, yay :D it was only 10 euros! can you believe that?! It has retro shoulderpads and everything, ahaha.
I don't have a very good pic right now but this should give you guys a bit of an idea.. also fancy hair :D first time ever for me trying to do rolls..
Wasn't too satisfied with the pics i took, but it was already late and dark out (=w=;;) so that might have had something to do with it.. hopefully some better pics in the future :D


I hate it how shipping can get so expensive... :( I wanted to order some stuff from DreamV's paypal accepting store and the shipping would be 20 dollars!? so much... :(
I also should look into ordering some lower lashes and maybe some extra circle lenses while i'm at it... :B god i'm so good at spending money, it's ridiculous, really..

Can't wait till the weekend! :D

001 First post!

Hello everyone! or... well, no-one yet, I guess since I don't have any followers haha..
Hopefully that'll change soon but for the time being i'll just start blogging away :D
I'll mainly post about clothes and make up like products, because i love buying these things and I might aswell share the love ;)

So here's a very sexy first picture of myself!

Me and my new facemask! It's from Dr.Organic, which can be found at De Tuinen here in Holland. According to the package it's;
  •  Oil absorbing
  • Cell rejuvenating &
  • Detoxifying aswell as nourishing

    Sounds good right?! \(○A ○)\
    The price was 10 euro something so not that expensive since it's 125 ml~
    Also important; it's suitable for vegetarians and Dr. organic is against animal testing ♥
So it felt very good! It also smells absolutely delicious~ and my skin feels very soft and fresh right now.
The only minor down side it has is that it's clay based and i found it a little hard to get everything off in one go (I ended up wetting a cotton pad to take it off with which worked very well).

Today I also bought my very first YSL lipstick!


It's the Rouge pur #147
Describes as Brun noisette, hazelnut
I've been drooling over it for a while now after I first tested it out in a store and i'm sooo happy i finally got it :) will definitely be wearing it a lot! I love this colour because it's not too appearant, yet it looks very stylish :) perfect!




Well that was it for now! Hopefully i'll write more soon :D
