In the mood for experiments ♥

L'Oréal Renewal Lash Serum
We got ourselves the L'Oréal Renewal Lash Serum!


This has been all the rave recently and here we're off to some experimenting! Here's a photo (pardon the quality- my camera battery's been faulty recently and all I have left is my iPhone) before the daily routine started:

Before

It was recommended to be used on lashes day and night for 28 consecutive days for visible results. The first few days were kinda heart-wrenching for me. I don't know if it was the product or just that I incurred a heightened sense of awareness with the state of my eyelashes after I started using this, but I noticed that I was losing more eyelashes than usual :(

I kept telling myself it was just that I didn't notice the rate I lose my eyelashes before. In any case, I stuck to using the product almost daily (I kinda missed out on using the product on certain nights). I figured the worst case scenario would just be that I would have bare eyelids in the end (likened to Madarosis @_@) but nobody has complained of that yet.. and I'm actually beginning to see a slight improvement in the length of my lashes after 1 week!

I'm sadly known amongst friends for my ridiculously short, almost non-existent lower eyelashes (see above photo) but my lower eyelashes are actually kinda visible now- especially helps when putting mascara on the lower lashes :D

I'll keep to using the product and perhaps post a photo or two to keep track of the results. I've always been kinda skeptical about such things- I mean, wouldn't everyone now have access to pretty eyes after this? >_<

Something else that I've just started trying out! Finally bought the Scholl MediQtto Sleeping Hoisery. All the rave in Japan (300000 pairs were sold last September!).


大石 参月 (Oishi Mitsuki) from 『ViVi』 uses it too! ♥


Initial usage was great~ I actually felt like blood was finally going to my legs after a long day shopping around town @_@ I never had this feeling before! On top of that it's supposed to relieve leg dropsy too so it really helps that my legs doesn't look all swollen the next morning *touched* *_*



One of the listed positive effects that made me laugh really hard was this:

安眠を促すラベンダーカラー。


The lavender colour of the socks (actually) facilitates sound sleep! Now how is that going to happen when I'm actually not staring at the socks whilst sleeping? LOL.

Anyway the socks have been great! Here's hoping I'm going to get slimmer legs after this with all the reduction of swelling and all that >_<

つけまつ毛〈eyelashes〉

This post is going to be dedicated to none other than eyelashes. So it seems that girls in Japan have an obsession with "falsies"(faux eyelashes), and charisma-models of Popteen etc. are coming up with their own line of lashes in collaboration.

First and foremost, We'll like to intro one of our all time favourite brand of lashes, "Dolly Wink". A collaboration of the famous Tsubasa Masuwaka (ex. Popteen charisma model) x Koji Japan.

This collection cosists of:

♥No.1 Dolly Sweet Upper Lashes
♥No.2 Sweet Girly Upper Lashes
♥No.3 Natural Girly Upper Lashes
♥No.4 Feminine Style Upper Lashes
♥No.5 Real Nude Bottom Lashes
♥N0.6 Baby Cute Bottom Lashes
♥No.7 Vivid Pop Bottom Lashes
♥No.8 Pure Little Bottom Lashes

♥Liquid Eyeliner in both Black and Brown
♥Pencil Eyeliner in both Black and Brown
♥Eyelash Fix
♥Eyelash Case

Personal favourites of ours are No.1 & 2 of the collection, though the rest are pretty awesome. If you're looking for some cool bottom lashes, try out No.6. The eyelash case is such a bonus don't you think? Such a cute way to carry your lashes around safely.

Following the footsteps of Tsu-chan are Popteen current model Kanno Yui and graduate Kohayashi Jun.
