Garnier Micellar Cleaning Water ♡ skincare review

It's been quite some time since I last did a review and since the products I want to review are literally piling up, I thought it was about time to hit you with one of my frequently used products today.

Though I really like Korean makeup and skincare products I can't afford to buy all my necessities online and being dependent of things that take more than a month to get here makes me kind of nervous.

This and the fact that I am annoyingly thrifty are reasons why there are a couple of products I am not ashamed of purchasing in local drug stores.

I'm sure there must be differences quality-wise but most of the products I've tried aren't half as bad.

Beside, most of the products available in drug stores these days are from some kind of brand, anyway.

Today's product is what I use to remove my makeup. 

It's the Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleaning Water for dry and sensitive skin.

일기장에게 ♡ Korean notebook haul

I usually try not to talk too much about all the small obsessions I have and about all the little things I adore and can't keep my fingers off, but I can assure you, they are there.

One of these things is the unexplainable excitement that runs through my veins whenever I hold a new, empty notebook, diary or basically any other sort of cased paper to write on in my hands. I love the smell of freshly printed worksheets, newly bought books and new notebooks.

I also really, really like pens so in general, I'm in love with stationery. Especially when it's cute.

That being said, Korea turned into my personal goldmine (actually I mentioned that before in my sticker haul but whatever).

So, before I continue with photos about the day we spent in Gyeongju, I'll share all the notebooks with you, that I bought last summer, on the other side of the world.

Precious Mineral Any Cushion ♡ makeup review

I talked about this product in a lot of other postings regarding makeup and I thought it was about time to finally do the official review on it, so that the veil of secrecy doesn't need to be carried around any longer. 

After I've been rather wary of the cushion foundation trend that took flight last year already and hasn't quite died down yet, I tried it when I was right at the source, last summer in Korea.

What can I say? It turns out my wariness just made me waste time.

I am in love with my new foundation. In case you didn't pick it up from the title yet, I'm talking about Etude House's Precious Mineral Any Cushion in the shade 'light pearl aura'.

Moistfull Aloe Soothing Gel ♡ skincare review

I thought it was time for another review. I have a couple of things still lying around, that I want to do reviews on in the future but since I'm heading for the library to get work done for my term paper in a few, I decided to keep it simple and focus on another skincare product today.

It's one of the things I bought in Korea last summer and since it was almost autumn when we returned and winter isn't fully over either, I didn't have the chance to use it as frequent, because I believe that the product's good points will be at a peak once it gets warmer again.

But since winters are dry and quite harsh to your skin, too, I ended up using it from time to time, anyway.

The product I want to introduce to you today, is the Etude House Moistfull Aloe Soothing Gel.

heart shape tote bag ♡ review

I screwed up my blogging schedule this week again and couldn't bring up a post on Wednesday - sorry about that. This semester's lectures are in their last stage and I only have to manage the next week (and my Japanese written exam on Thursday) until my semester break finally starts. I'll have to write a termpaper and sort out a lot of other stuff but I still look forward to it.

Since I don't want to let you hanging without any posting this week, I decided to write a short little review about the transparent heart shape tote backpack from MoLa_MoLa that I got last October or November already (I'm painfully slow with these, as you see). I ordered it in September from their storenvy shop (click here), when I was in a small shopping mood.

photos from the shop ♡

I was originally looking for a new backpack to use for university, since my old was slowly getting in a state of unmaintainability. Sadly the ordered backpack turned out to be too small for all the things I carry around on a daily basis but I'm still quite happy with the purchase.

Wonder Pore Freshner ♡ skincare review

One of my inofficial new years resolutions that concern my blogging content (inofficial because I already started last year) that I am trying to work on, is, to bring more reviews onto my blog because there certainly more than a handful of products that deserve one and I have a feeling that most of my readers - especially the ones interested in make up and skincare - would enjoy them.

Bringing up one of my favorite products that I brought from Korea (I need to re-order it soon and a couple of other products, too!) I will review the Wonder Pore Freshner from Etude House. I don't remember its price, especially because it was sale when I finally purchased it, but they sell it on their online store for $11.70. You can check it out here, they ship internationally and you have free shipping for orders over $70 (they send discount codes to their customers occassionally, too, so having an account there might be worth it).

마임 MIME Happy Eye Black ♡ circle lens review

It's been forever since I last did a review on circle lenses, so I figured it was about time to use some of the photos I already took back in September/October and finally work out a review on this pair of lenses - especially because I did have a couple of adventures with it.

I bought the MIME Happy Eye - Black when I was on vacation in Seoul.

One of my friends from Germany knew the store we went to and told me how good experiences she had with the store assistant who could even speak English moderately.

Let's say buying circle lens turned into an adventure.

Good Guy BB Cream ♡ makeup review

It has been quite a while since I did my last review and given that I used this product for more than one year, it was about time I come around to say what I think about it.

When I first got into Korean makeup, I ordered a whole bunch of different BB creams I either read about before or found pleasing for the eye, from what I could see on my computer screen.

Finding foundation in my skin tone was always a struggle where I live because I am quite pale and even the lightest shades never quite fit. 

Today I want to introduce and review the product that won the race in my first trial and that I have used for almost two years before getting a new, more suitable solution this summer:

Etude House's Moment st. Good Guy BB Cream.

과자 ♡ my favorite Korean snacks

Triggered by the recent updates from two fellow bloggers, Jessie and Sann who shared their experiences with different monthly subscription boxes for Japanese snacks and because keeping my boyfriend and my brother off the goodies is getting harder with every day, I decided to fastforward things a bit and post something that is related to my summer trip to Korea, though I still haven't got a schedule how I will do the other updates surrounding  this topic... 

My self-dicipline is getting weaker whenever I walk by the coffee table too, so it's probably the best to introduce the snacks I brought from Korea before I've eaten all of them and can't show them anymore later.

sing, sweet nightingale ♡ makeup review

Disney's Cinderella {new movie, old plot} came into the theaters where I live pretty much a month ago and I'm dying to see the movie - honestly. 

I'm still sad that I couldn't watch Big Hero 6 when it was still playing and wait impatiently for its DVD to be released. So this time, I hopefully get myself into a cinema somewhere to enjoy this movie. I watched Disney's animation movie Cinderella from 1950 a billion times when I was a kid, so there is no way around this.

The special someone and I want to go to the cinema together this Friday but I'm afraid it will be out when the new movies come in on Thursday...

essence - one of my personal favorites when it comes to drug store makeup - released a LE to celebrate this movie, too.

just in case ♡ summonflyingtoenail.com review

After my birthday sneaked past silently and next to my slowly starting preparations for the new semester (and the re-exam in Korean) - at least I wish I was doing important things like that - I finally decided on a concept for my JAPAN postings.

But before I'll launch this series I finally want to do the review I've been waiting to do since the moment I ordered the products.

I kid you not.
I was so excited for them to arrive and though it took forever.
It wasn't the stores fault but some trouble the custom office in Germany had.
But after almost 6 weeks they finally arrived - the mobile phone cases I ordered for Christmas from www.summonflyingtoenail.com.

"Should have treated you better" by U-Beat review

So... I wanted to do this review/post since I did my Song Of The Month post but I was so horribly busy with university, I just got no chance to do so.
Finally, after working the whole week end for that strange Social Studies homework I had to do, I have time to do it, before I'll drown in Japanese vocabulary. 

To start with that: I was sad that the song came out so late, I couldn't make it part in the Song Of The Month since I already finished the preparations before...
So I decided to make an extra post since I really believe it is worth it!

{event} 「TADAIMA o(≧▽≦)o OKAERI o(≧▽≦)o」LIVE CAFE TOUR 2012

It has already been more than a week but on November 20th I finally saw AN CAFE again, after they had their comeback in April this year and announced their 3rd WORLD TOUR soon afterwards I was ready to do everything to get me a ticket for their show in Berlin as soon as possible. 
It came out to be their final show in Europe as well which actually just made it even more special!
The end of the story: I had my ticket already in May...? And almost cried of happiness when Neotokyo came back with their expensive VIP upgrade issue. I really was able to get an upgrade as well and so I actually couldn't sleep the days after I bought this because I already was so excited to meet them.

AN CAFE is the band who intodruced me to J-ROCK and Visual Kei and so there are no words to express my innest feelings for them. It's not exactly affection but some kind of deep connection. I'm so grateful towards them... it's unbelievable! 
So to really meet them and thank them personally was one of the most precious things I could imagine!

{make up} REVIEW: E.O.S Ice Blue

Obviously it took me forever to do this review.  Or well - actually just to finally write it now.

But I felt like my blog need something more than just the usually chatter about my everyday life. I always wanted to do some reviews. Here we go with my first one!

E.O.S Ice Blue circle lenses

FACTS:
brand: E.O.S
weight: 100.00grams

diameter:  14.8mm
water content: 38%
base curve: 8.8mm
life span: 1 year disposal

{event} I'm so bad, I'm so late. - LM.C live in Berlin [May, 15]

 CAUTION - TEXT HEAVY ! 

I just realize that more than a month passed since that event.
I feel really bad posting now about it because it really was worth being posted right the next day or at least within the week afterwards...
I try to catch up with all the things I wanted to post about this and the following week now...
I apologize for my delay again... 

.... anyway ! Here we go !
I bought the tickets for this live already in February.
The one for my best friend P*chan - which was a birthday present then - and mine.
I just realized that we didn't made photos together this day, dear...
Shame on us ! 

{★} the agony of choice ...

Heiya !
When I started to prepare YUKULICIOUS I had a bunch of ideas what I want to post then...
Now I can't decide which of the posts I planned I am going to do at first...
So I thought about letting you choose instead of feeling the agony of choice all alone. hehe

There are a bunch of reviews I would like to do.

- about my new lenses (you already see me wearing them in the header)
- about a movie I saw a few days ago - Golden Bomber's Suri Nokoshita Natsu
- about one of my favorite animes so far (I finished watching it last week) - Soul Eater
- about a bunch of false lashes I bought or/and got as a present.
I would like to review all pairs of lashes I have... so I probably end up writing not just one post about that.
