Purikura On The Go!

So since I've been doing absolutely nothing at home, I decided to check out some apps for my iPhone! And I have found two MUST haves for the purikura fans! If you don't know, purikura in Japan are sticker pictures that you can take in a photobooth, and they are fancy machines that look like this:

I have seen these booths in malls and they are absolutely FUN. You take pictures with your friends and decorate them! Cool right? Well I'm sure 99% of you know what purikura pictures are so I'm going to stop, but here is what the pictures out of the machine look like.

 There used to be a store with the machines where I live, but then it closed down T~~T SO I've had to find alternatives! I've already reviewed an app called the Princess Camera in this post HERE but I have two more apps that I think are absolutely PERFECT and wonderful that everyone with an iPhone and loves decorating pics should get :P

The first one is called Girls Camera and the second one is called Rakuga-Cute (楽画cute). I'm going to review Girls Camera first because it's my favorite!

This app is free so keep that in mind!

Okay so basically the app starts off with you can take a picture right then or you can choose to decorate a photo that you've already taken. I've chosen to do the latter. The main menu screen looks like this: 

Then after you've chosen your picture, you decorate it just like you would in the purikura machine! There are stamps, pens, frames and backgrounds that you can use to decorate your picture as cute as you want to ^^ here are some screen caps to show you how awesome it is.

AWESOME RIGHT? And here are a few pictures that I have decorated with this app :) 

What do you think? Isn't is so cute? And its completely FREE! Yes so go download it now iPhone lovers :)

The second app is Rakuga-Cute (楽画cute) and it's basically the same thing, but I had to pay $3.99 USD to unlock the decorations and pens. The actual app is free, but they only give you a few stamps and a few pen colors, etc. I really wanted to see the other things so I sucked it up and paid the 4 bucks to get more!

Its the same concept, where you either choose a pic or take one there and here is the menu screen:

What I love about this app in particular is that it looks like the program in the purikura machines! Like the font, the layout and the style. I'm just a sucker for presentation so because it's presented so well, I just love love it.  Here are some more screen caps that I took for y'all :)

As you can see its basically the same, but look at the layout! If you've been in a purikura machine, doesn't it look exactly the same?? I'm so happy with it and this is definitely an app I would recommend. Here is some pictures that I decorated:

Lol okay ignore my face in those I look horrible, but basically the decorating is so much fun with this app :P

Thats all I have, hope you guys enjoy checking those apps out! Download them if you have an iPhone ^^

Better late than never ^^;

Around this time last year (summertime, that is) I started really writing in this blog. I'm so sad that so far it seems that its been at the back of my mind lately and I haven't really taken the time to write in it. QQ probably no one even cares about or remembers me anymore.

BUT better late than never right?

I just took a trip to California last week and stayed for only 6 days. While I was there though I managed to snag up a few things! Mostly we were at the beach (which I will post pictures of later ^^) but we spent a few days in the city. I went to Little Tokyo! It was so cute and I've been there before but have never bought anything. There are so many makeup stores and stores with cute little Japanese things. I love love loved it!

The first thing I bought was a NYX eyeliner. I've been looking for a good liquid eyeliner ever since I ran out of the Dolly Wink one that I love and unfortunately used up :( I've tried many things from the E.L.F felt pen and liquid liner, Maybelline's Stiletto eyeliner, to NARS' eyeliner, but nothing has satisfied me! And I don't want to shell out 20 bucks for another Dollywink (even though I probably could have bought it for the money that I spent on the others that I've tried LOL). Anyway... I bought this one and I think its pretty good! It was $7.99 USD and its a waterproof, felt tip pen, liquid eyeliner. Its not very waterproof though... not at all actually. And when I take it off the residue is blue! How weird. But other wise it glides on pretty well which is really the winning factor for me. And its thick and doesn't look watery (unlike the Maybelline's stiletto and E.L.F liquid eyeliner). This is the eyeliner:

(omg please ignore the hair on my floor... gross lmfao)

The only other makeup product that I bought was a pair of Dolly Wink eyelashes No. 1. Of course everyone knows what these look like by now hopefully... lol but here they are anyway:

These are my favorite lashes I have ever worn! So soft and long and pretty... I just love them so much even though they are HELLA expensive. I bought these for $14.99 USD which is the cheapest I've ever seen them. Which is still a lot. You get 2 pairs though so thats at least a little better.

I did do a makeup look with these two products so here it is:

(This is like the only HD picture btw lol it was hard to get a good one so the rest are just self cams from my phone heehee)

For the eyes, I used the Naked palette from Urban Decay which is yes, the best eyeshadow palette in the whole entire world lol. The colors I used were Half Baked, Smog, and Darkhorse. I used half baked as the base and on the inner corner of the eyes, then smog on top of that and to blend, then darkhorse for the crease and along the bottom and outer corners.

Here's a closer look!

And here is a list of the other products that I used for my whole look (sorry that I don't have pictures!)

Face:
-KMA foundation powder
-MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Gold Deposit
-Bare Minerals bronzing mineral powder
-Sheercover Duo Concealer

Eyes:
-Naked by Urban Decay eyeshadow palette
-Mary Kay mascara
-NYX felt tip pen eyeliner
-Canmake Coloring Eyebrow in Honey Gold
-Dolly Wink eyelashes No.1
-Dolly Wink eyelashes No.5
-Princess Mimi Sesame grey circle lenses

Lips:
-Sephora Matte Lipstick in Matte Cherry Rose
-Sephora Ultra Shine lip gloss in Fresh Peach shimmery

And here are more pictures of the look:

Yes those were my "I'm trying to be sexy faces" hahaha. Now here's a smiley one :)

What do you think of the look? I was inspired by the new Happie Nuts magazine that I bought. Its for September 2012 ^^

I was blown away by how pretty and sexy Sayoko Ozaki looked omg she is so awesome! Here are some pictures of her that I love:

She's so pretty omg *_* I don't know if I can pull off the sexy look in real life though loool I come off as way too cutesy >w<

Okay thats it! I hope someone reads this lol.

Nails! and some new products~

Here's something new, I'm not saving the best for last! It's first this time ^^ Here are my new nails this time~

I got the painting (color and flowers) done at a nail salon, but I put the deco items myself! Hehe I think I'm going to say the big bow on the middle nail is like my signature now, because I LOVE having a bow on that nail lol :)

Recently, I bought this new eyelash from Daiso just to try out because well, Daiso is sorta cheap and I just wanted to see what the quality was like! Surprisingly, I even saw Popteen (or maybe it was Egg) using Daiso brand eyelashes haha.

 Yeah overall, I give this a 3/5 because I mean, its usable, but I don't think I would recommend it unless you super needed eyelashes. Like I did. LOL another reason why I bought this was because I ruined the ones I was using and I didn't have any more! We aren't going to go to the place were I usually get them for a few days so just had to buy something for the meantime haha.

I also bought this eyelash glue from the department store. Its called Lash Meister its a Japanese brand. I really like the glue, it holds well but I don't like colored eyelash glue. I prefer them to be invisible because I mess up so much :/ Anyways, so its like a dip jar like this:

And you apply the glue onto your eyelid like you would a liquid eyeliner. And then you put the eyelashes on top and voila! But I don't know I find this process very messy, and I would rather just put the glue on the eyelash first xD

Next thing is a lip liner from Gino McCray that I bought from Beauty Buffet. I've been really wanting a lip liner for a while to try out that fuller lips look that I've seen so many YouTube beauty gurus doing! I bought an orange shade to go with the lipstick I normally wear.

So the result of all of that? Here it is!

 Do I look any different? LOL idk. So anyways some more shots cause well.. yeah  :P

On a side note, I think I can pull of "cute" way better than "sexy" xD But I want to do both :(

Thanks for reading!

Yay for BIG eyes :D

So I used different lashes when doing my makeup today. I'm not sure what this is inspired by... maybe just onee-gyaru style in general? Its a little more black then how I usually do my makeup I think. What do you think?

I just bought these bottom lashes, and ugh I hate this brand, but they are really cheap so I bought them... plus I ran out of bottom lashes and was desperate hahaha. But on the bright side, now I know that I like these type of bottom lashes! I'll be on the lookout for similar ones.

Now on to some face shots. I kind of hated the way I looked today though I'm not sure why! Normally I would be all over taking pictures but I only took a few and they pretty much all look the same :/ I like how they made my eyes look like freakishly big though! Especially in the last picture (the phone one)

I really think this would go better with long hair, just because all of the sexy models out there have long hair! Onee-gyaru style is really suited with those gorgeous long locks. I should have put my extensions in but oh well :(

Another shot with a crappy phone cam! I like these pictures better though bahahaha crappy quality pics=instant photoshop! :P And look, see?? Don't my eyes look bigger in this one? LOL

Also, yay! I bought some new necklaces. I really wanted the ones with the long chains that almost go down to the belt area and these were perfect! I got them both at Forever21 here in Thailand- the first one was about 7$USD and the second was on sale for about 3$USD.

I don't have a picture of me with them on but they are about this length on me:

The other day, my mom and I tried out a new restaurant/cafe called Caffe Pascucci. It's Italian hehe. I don't really eat Italian often, but this place was pretty good. It had the most delicious looking espresso drinks!! I didn't know what to pick! So I ended up getting this caramel one.

 Looks good, right?? :D It was delicious!

For main course we had this pesto penne thing and a tuna salad (yeah don't know how um Italian that salad was but oh well!) lol. Yummmm~

Also, I went to Bangkok on May 8th and saw BEAST/B2ST!!

lol yeah JKJK I only saw the poster because their concert was on the 9th and I couldn't stay in Bangkok :( Oh well... hahaha I'm not really passionate about seeing anyone unless its TVXQ. (Yes and by TVXQ i mean any of the 5 of them :D)

...I feel like my blog has gotten really boring lately haha. I don't have the energy to go shopping as much lately! Boo what's wrong with me? :( So, please enjoy some pretty pictures of gals~

(taken from various Tumblrs)

AH i want to get better at makeup and lose weight so I can look half as good as these gals!! -must get better must get better must get better must get better!!!- GRRR okay i'm going to work extra hard!! 

As always, thanks for reading :)
