The Chaotic Brilliance

 

It's already January!
January has turned out as I have feared - it's cold outside (-25 °C) and I'm busy.
In addition to my studies, I'm working half-time. We have one course in school in which we have to be prepared to be on call up to 50 hours in a row for one assignment..... which is pretty insane. Luckily that task was really interesting, and I got away with only 24 hours.

Christmas went past like always, spent it with family.
 

Nails for Christmas:

 

For the New Year:

 

(I didn't get better pictures, the nails were already so ruined and fixed so many times that ombre was gone and snowflakes were not looking like snowflakes anymore.....)

~☆~
 

Before Christmas, I bought present to myself:

Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup setting spray!
- review -

De-Slick claims to "weightlessly control oil, deflect surface shine and keep skin looking beautifully matte".

I have already mentioned that my skin is oily, thus makeup doesn't stay put.
This product is really good - my makeup stays on miraculously well!
My makeup looked good even after a match of floorball, so this can tolerate even sweating.
I like how this takes powdery look away. The finish is just amazing. The mist feels light on skin, not sticky or tight, just like there's nothing extra.

However, honestly speaking, the spray doesn't help to get rid of shine completely.
My face still starts to shine, but the shine is postponed and minor.
I really like the product a lot, and would like to love it, but oil control isn't that great. There indeed is some but it's not enough. I'm still going to use this since this helps my makeup to stay put (I have looong workdays) and see what's going to happen. At first I suspected that this caused breakouts, but I continued using this and more breakouts didn't emerge. So, after all, I'm quite happy with this product, it's not awesome, but still helps so much.

My christmas presents were mainly useful stuff that I had wished for,
but some surprises also, like this:

Avon pink bronzing pearls from my sister!
This is my first blush of this kind, i have always loved pearl blushes~ Color is lovely too~

And Avon perfume. 

I have to confess that this is my first perfume ever (okay, I had a Snoopy perfume when I was a child...). I prefer mild fragrances, so this is just perfect. Elegant, not too overwhelming.

~☆~

We tried making okonomiyaki!

Since we happened to have some kimchi, those ended up as kimchi okonomiyaki.
Instead of iron plate we obviously used regular frying pan:

 

So yummy!♥
Sadly we didn't have neither bonito flakes nor mayonnaise (and no hashioki..).
But we had real Japanese okonomiyaki sauce at least!

~☆~

I have a weird feeling that something is wrong, but I don't know what that something might be.
 

 

bye!★

Purchases from Tokyo

I personally like reading shopping hauls of other people,
but if these aren't your thing you can just skip the following~

 

 Starting with little things I bought in Harajuku:
 

Nail stickers are from Wego and the lunch box is Swimmer,
the accessories from some random stores

Lace under shorts.
I already had one shorts, but these were longer and better material ♥

Cute socks from the same shop as the shorts

Lace panel shirt
(which looks better when weared :"""D I should post a picture sometime)

 Manga is so cheap in Japan, a new book cost like 400 yen (3 euros),
and in Book-off you can find secondhand manga for 100 yen (75 cents). A big difference compared to what you have to pay in Finland.

But of course these prices are for manga in Japanese.

 

Hirunaka no ryusei 2-4. These series are one of my favourites, so much doki-doki!!♥
and Arisa 1, mystery shoujo by Natsumi Ando


My purchases from Matsumoto Kiyoshi:
 

Sweet Sweet Make Up Base Brush On Bright CC - 01 Light
Rosette Cleaning Foam Acne Clear
Ettusais BB Mineral white #10
Creer Beaute Sailor Moon Stick Liquid Eyeliner (Black)

The color of Ettusais Mineral White BB is so perfect♥
It's a great bb, gives you that "your skin, but better"-look, the finish is very nice. It stays on relatively well too, but a miracle is needed to keep makeup staying fully on my face...
 

What I got playing gachapon:

My Melody and lovely Yuu from Magical Angel Creamy Mami ♥♥♥

Sailor moon strap

I got Makoto at the first attempt!!!!♥
 

Second hand clothes from Shimokitazawa:

Ignore the fact that my shoes doesn't match with the dress

Only magazine I bought:

 

When I start, there is no end of cd hauling.
I had to restrain myself and so I bought only following 12:

Billy: Babies, Good bye
 William
Marigold
Hana shounen baddies: Breed
Guniw Tools: Dazzle
Pierrot: Finale

I'm so happy that I finally got the albums of Billy and Baddies that were missing from my collection ;___; Those guys really have developed as time has passed ;___;
Oh I love them so much~~
 

Gazette: Dainihon itan geishateki noumiso gyaku kaiten zekkyou ongenshuu
Madara
Disorder
Kagrra,: San
Buck-tick: Taboo
Kat-tun: Queen of pirates

Most of these are from Pure sound and Book-off.
It was like circle closing when I get my hands on Madara, because Ruder and Anata no tame no kono inochi have been one of my favourite songs for so long♥

Oh but even though I bought this many cds I didn't spend too much money.
The cheapest one was 100 yen (0,75e), whilst the most expensive one was about 2300 yen (17e).

I could have bought even more but well...
I'm crying especially after those cheap cds of Kat-tun which I left in Book-off ;__;

~

That was that.
In conclusion, there was so much interesting things and I could have bought so much more stuff, but just didn't need all of them...
Still, a bitter advice: when in Tokyo, shop in a way that you don't have to regret that you didn't! 



bye!★

Kids Who Wanted To Fly In The Sky

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

 

Hello~

First things first:

Those who follow me in Instagram might already know
about how one of my biggest dreams is finally coming true;
 

I'm going to Japan!!!

 

It's only about 40 days left until trip!! I'm so excited!!!!
I have so much plans, but because the time is limited, I will be content with implementing only a tiny portion of them. I won't see the cherry blossoms but maybe some beautiful fall colors.
I just simply can't wait!!!
The trip is between my exams but really, who cares about exams, yolo!!

∗ﾟ~ ☆ ~ﾟ∗ ☸ ∗ﾟ~ ☆ ~ﾟ∗ 
 

Once again, I bought some skin care stuff...

Mizon Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule - with the package

 
Mizon Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule and yeah, it contains snail mucus, 80% of the ampoule is snail secretion filtrate, which is quite awesome. I never thought that I would buy products with snail mucus, but well, good reviews led me again...
I have suffered from acne for a long time. Currently my skin condition is better than ever, but redness and vestiges have remained. I bought this to help my skin to regenerate. This also claims to be moisturizing, nutritious and to improve the elasticity of skin.
 

Mizon Snail Recovery Gel 

I bought Mizon Snail recovery Gel to complement the routine with the Mizon Ampoule. The snail line of Mizon contains six different products from cream to bb cream. I picked these two because of the best reviews.

Both products have no special smell - so you don't have to be afraid of "snail smell". :D Both ampoule and gel absorb very well and won't leave your face unpleasantly sticky, just a bit.

So far I haven't noticed any miraculous changes, since I have been using this only a few days. But I think my skin feels more hydrated and maybe looks more even, nevertheless. 
 

And the samples I received, haven't tried them yet.

 

I have been trying to look for a good makeup remover for my waterproof mascara. Only by reading reviews I wasn't sure what would really be good; I didn't want to waste money on bad stuff while trying to find a both gentle and effective makeup remover. It's important to not to scrub your thin and delicate eye skin, so a gentle remover would be a must. This far I have been using mostly Eucerin Dermatoclean Gentle Cleansing Milk.

 

Searching for makeup removers, I came across the idea of removing makeup with oil - baby oil, olive oil, almond oil etc etc! So I went to a grocery store and grabbed a jar of coconut oil:

 

 

The oil has really mild smell. I put a little amount of oil in two wet cotton pads, placed them on my eyes, let it be for a while and it clean my mascara up with little effort. Only a little amount is needed to remove the mascara, so the jar will last long. I haven't tried to remove my entire makeup with coconut oil, because I'm afraid of my pores getting clogged... By the way, mascara I'm using is False Lash Effect waterproof By MaxFactor.

According to various sources on internet, coconut oil is a beauty multitasker. In addition to makeup removing, you can use it as eye cream, body moisturizer, hair treatment, teeth whitener and so forth. It's also antibacterial, anti-aging and what's best: all natural.

I tried to use it to calm my scalp (I don't know what's wrong with it, my scalp is very sensitive and it's itchy and gets oily easily... :/ gotta change my shampoo maybe ), and it helped a little. At the same time I applied it on my hair and left it on for a couple of hours, then washed it away. It made my hair a bit glossier. 
Coconut oil is very good body moisturizer, but after applying, skin is oily for a long time...
I tried to whiten my teeth with it but couldn't keep it in my mouth because I started to sneeze. :D It also felt somehow uncomfortable?
I personally would use coconut oil in cooking, because even though it's vegetable oil it contains satured fat, which will clog your arteries - so, don't eat it!!

 

 I love coconut flavor by the way♥

Let's continue:

Etude House Stay Up Foundation Ivory

 

My first foundation ever, I have came this far only using bb creams! It's Etude House Stay Up Foundation, the Ivory option. The bottle was surprisingly small, only 25g. The color was perfect (pale with yellow undertones), SPF of 30 is nice and cover was ok. The finish was smooth and perfect at first, but started to look bad after a couple of hours, this didn't stay on my face very well -___- I think I still can use this, but since I'm not a fan, I won't repurchase.

Some recent outfits:

 

By the way, I made some changes in my blog - header, background, layout and stuff.
What do you think?
Even though I was fond of my earlier header, I felt that it was time to change it. My profile pic was also like 6 years old. :'''D
 

What else?

MUSTIKOITA! I really like picking berries♥

 



This was so interesting but I couldn't get in, since the hut was related to a guest I hadn't started.... Soooo disappointing!

 

Online bookstore thought that it's not good for me to read manga,

so they sent me books about Swedish culture and war instead.

 

 

Oh and Dragon Ball is life.

bye!★

Dreamy Dream Baby The World is Yours

I'm back from Hungary!

 

Our trip started by going to Helsinki by Onnibussi at night. Cheap, but not so comfortable, none of us slept well. Then to the airport, flight to Budapest. We stayed in Budapest to the next day,
wandering around the city and its tourist attractions.

On the second evening we took a bus to Sümeg and arrived to the vineyard when it was completely dark. Being completely clueless about the environment, it was awesome to go out to sunshine in the next morning and see the awesome place, full of heady scents of flowers.
 

So, on the day three, we explored Sümeg and its castle.

I had a nice view for doing my makeup at mornings

A church in Sümeg where we went to get some empowering experiences with free Wi-Fi.

Since it is a vineyard, they make wine there and have their own wine cellar. The wine was good!

On the day four, we went to Tapolca to meet the grandparents of my friend. They are the owners of the vineyard where we were staying. Despite the fact that we didn't have a common language, they were so sweet~

From there, we went to climb to a volcano. There are many (luckily inactive) volcanoes in the area.
The slope was quite steep which made climbing hard on some points + it was a hot day and I was wearing a dress which was very smart of me...
 

In Tapolca, there was also an underground lake were went for a row with tiny boats.
It was so cool, though I kept hitting my head on the ceiling.....
 

Later on the same day we went to the other vineyard, owned by the parents of my friend. There we played Kuningaskyykkä and enjoyed gulyás with pogácsa. And the wine, of course.
 

Gulyás was made in a traditional bogrács

Pogácsa, made by the sweet grandmother

On the fifth day we slept long and then went to Keszthely. There some of us went swimming in Balaton, which is a super huge lake. Water was so warm but since I didn't have any swimwear I only watched. 

 

On the sixth day we took train to Sopron, where my friend's aunt lives.
From there, we took a train to Austria, Vienna, on the seventh day.

We were sightseeing and couldn't avoid Eurovision, which was held just on same day we were there....
 

Hundertwasserhaus!
Guniw tools made the music video of Tone there! I knew that it was in made in Vienna but I didn't expect to find the place. Hundertwasserhaus is a popular tourist attraction though, so I guess finding it was inevitable....

And the eight day was a day to travel home.

In conclusion,  it was such an awesome journey. Ice cream everyday and a lot of new experiences.
It wasn't real tourist season yet so we were basically only tourists in many places. People were so hospitable and travelling with frieds was so much fun~
Only thing I regret is that I didn't do any shopping, when everything was so cheap in Hungary and there were so many interesting shopping places in Vienna
(but I guess my company wasn't that much into shopping, so...).
 

★゜・。。・゜゜・。。・゜☆゜・。。・゜゜・。。・゜★

Again, let's see my newest makeup purchases (before the trip):

Innisfree No-sebum Mineral Pact, It's skin Baby Face Pore Powder
and Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Pop Oh! Orange

I bought It's skin Baby face.powder simply because I wanted to try it. It's nice but nothing impressive, works well with Baby Face bb, but not with others... It hides pores but the finish isn't good.

 

I expected Baby Lips Oh!Orange to be even more orange so I was a little disappointed. I like the colour though, it gives your lips fresh mellow look.

I like the Innisfree loose powder, but purchased the pact version because I thought that pact would be more practical to bring along than loose powder. The pact also has a handy mirror; this far I have used the mirror more than the powder itself.


Tomorrow it's the first day of my summer job... I'm slowly getting nervous....

bye!★
