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
