Japan-day 2013

Yesterday I went to Japan-day. An annual fair for Japanese culture that takes place at the Rhein-promenade in Duesseldorf every year.
I was wearing my yukata again but this time with another obi and a more flattering hairstyle than last year. XD

This is my favorite pic of me that day

I picked up Chrissi in the morning and we went to Duesseldorf together. There we meet Alina and her husband Brandon at the mainstation, where I helped Alina to put on her yukata.

Alina and me at the station's toilet

After that we went to eat something. We wanted to go to nainwa but there was such a long waiting-line that we decided to go to another restaurant.

After lunch we went to the Promenade where the Japan-day took place.
Shortly after we arrived there the wether went bad and it was raining and it was so cold and windy. ;__;
We walked the promenade and searched for Ina who we found at the end of the Promenade but sadly we had only a few minutes together.

After being outside in the to cold for a while we decided to go to starbucks to have some coffee and get warm again.

After that we went back to the Promenade because it was allready evening and a gyaru-meetup was going to take place then.
On the meetup we met a lot of nice people. I was very happy to see Jessica again, even if it was only for short.

Of course I took pictures over the day. I really wanted to take more pictures but the weather conditions were so bad that everyone looked shitty after a while. ;__;
You find all of my pics in my photography-gallery. If you are in one of the pictures and want a high-res-copy just email me or drop a line on facebook!

New extensions and birthday-party-outfit

Since I had to take out my tape-extensions some time ago, I bought some new clip in extensions.

I think the tape extensions have been a good way to get a good result for the low budget I spend on it. The tape-method is good because there was really no damage on my hair after wearing them for tree months but on the other hand they are really care intensive because it is hard to get foam in-between the rows while washing and you have to renew some strand every now and then (but this is very easy and fast). Sadly the hairquality was not so good (the hair was from ebay), this is why it did last "only" three months.
Away from that I found out that I really don't want to spent like 1-2hours every time I wash my hair and that I in fact don't really wear my hair open for work and stuff so for me, it is not really worth it to have extremly long hair every day.

That is why I bought clip in extensions again. I wanted some good quality hair so I boght it from www.rapunzelofsweeden.de because I have read a lot of good feedbacks and reviews about them.
I decided for a full set of 110g of european hair type, 50cm in length, color #24. They also sell indian hair but I had indian hair before and I always had the feeling that it was thicker and more stiff then my own hair so I figured that the european hair would match my own hair structure better.

The website has an easy structure, provides all informations needed and the ordering process is very easy. The shipping happend very fast and this is what the packaging looked like:

The hair itself was packed in a special plastic packaging and I got some haircare-testers as present:

The set contains of 7 pieces: 1x 4clip-piece, 2x 3clip-piece, 2x 2clip-piece and 2x 1clip-piece:

And a closeup so you can see the colour and structure:

I was very lucky with the color since it matches my haircolor really good.
(If you want to order from them and are not sure of the color you can order a ring of testing-strands and send it back after you figured the right color)
My first impression of the hair is that it is really nice and smooth and a bit thinner than I'm used to from the indian hair. Of course the quality will only fully show after some using, washing and styling.

The first time I wore out my new extensions was my birthday party that took part at my grandparents garden last week.
I did a big barbecue party for all my friends.^^

Of course I bought some new clothes for it. XD So here you can see my outfit for the party:

I tried the neko-mimi hairstyle for the first time and I really liked it on me.^^

On saturday I went to the pirate-themed meetup by my circle Velvet. I will post about it asap!!^^

Catching up: new cosmetics and recents pics

I have not posted for such a long time.
But it didn't really happen so much. Just work, work and again work... ;__;

But I have bought some new cosmetics recently:

This is my new Dior BB-Cream. I had one from Estee Lauder before but this one is much better since the color is much lighter and it is more moisturizing.

For birthday I got some new perfume and eyeshadow:

And here some recent pictures:

Carnival, gal-meet and some gets...

So last weekend was Carnival here in my region. It is celebrated every year in febuary over one weekend with a lot of parties and parades!

This year my costume was cheshire cat^^

I really like this costume so I will probably wear it again at Halloween^^

Some weeks ago there was the international gyaru winter meetup. I went there with Ina and we had a lot of fun meeting all the cute gals there. I was really happy to see all the people which I come to meet so rarely like the dutch girls from hyper and my sweet name-sister Jessica.

Somehow I got only very few pics of the day but here they are:

my outfit for the meet

one of the puris I took with Jessica

As you can see in all of the pics in this post I finaly have some new hair-exensions! *__*

Until now I alsways used clip in extensions but now I have some permanent ones and I love them so much, they are fixed with a kind of glue tape. Maybe I will do a review about that if some of you are intrested...

And last but not least I went shopping again last week, this is what I got:

Recent cosmetic buys

Recent buys

This month was really stressfull for me since there was a lot to do at work. But now I am on holiday and I want to show you what I gifted myself with for the hard work.^^

 

Of course I got the new iPhone 5 when it was released. <3

 

 

My last iPhone 4 was in white but this time I have choosen the black one since I like the monocrome style of it.

I really love the new design and size and for me also siri is a new thing since it was not avaliable on iphone 4.

 

Of course as soon as I got it I also orderd some nice cases for it.

These are the two I bought from strapya-world:

 

 

I also bought some boots from ugg and a cardigan from guess

 

 

 

I also bought the new mascara from benefit and since my mac tinted moisturizer is tending to be empty soon I also bought some BB cream from Estee Lauder. I never used BB cream before but my first expression is quite good. I think I will maybe review it in comparasion with the mac moisturizer.

 

 

Tomorrow I will put some new colour in my hair and on saturday I will attend a meetup in Dortmund.

I'm very excited to get to now some other gals from this region.^^

Dolly wink limited set and Candy Doll new items at Ichibankao!

Ichibankao now offers a Limited set of Dolly Wink eyelashes:

(pic links to buying-page)

The price for the set is 2250JPY including international basic shipping.

In generall I can always highly recomend Dolly Wink lashes, since they are my favorite ones.

I think the price is not the best offer but okay and I think it is a really good thing for people who don't allready have a huge collection of lashes and want to try some and for those who had eyes on the lashcase anyway...

Ichibankao now also stocked the new base makup line from Candydoll:

(Pic links to buying-page)

The prices are 2600JPY for the base, 3100JPY for the foundation, 1950JPY for the concealer and 2850JPY for the compact powder.

Well I didn't try it myself so far and there are not many reviews arround jet but since the reviews for the older loose face powders I read were not that good, it seemed to be very dry and so I think these might be dry, too.

Also I don't like the packaging. I agree to the opinion of a lot of other bloggers that it looks very cheep.

Currently I'm thinking about getting some of the Diamond make face products as soon as my actual ones are used up...

Shopping again XDD

Today I went to D-dorf again with Nina.

I bought a cool skirt that is really perfect for boho-gyaru-style:

 

And I went to MAC and I really couldn't resist the new limited Pigment-eyeshadow stack.

 

  

The pics at the MAC onlineshop didn't really atract me but when I saw them in real I really fell in love!
