Does anyone have a makeup remover they recommend? My eyes keep getting red after I remove my makeup because the garnier micellar water isn’t great at removing heavy layers of mascara and I have to scrub. I even tried the dual phase blue one, but it just doesn’t really work. I know people use balms, but those seem so greasy? Let me know what you use!
I’m finally feeling a bit better so after work today we went to the farmers market in our neighborhood and went to eat afterwards!
I wore a cute amekaji outfit but I sweat through it immediately so I changed and didn’t grab a photo. We got some veggies, honey, hummus, and a few other goodies!
My package from iherb came too. I needed supplements there for my migraines but I found out they sell Korean makeup and skincare so I grabbed a few other things. I find cica to be really soothing on my acne prone skin. I’m gonna try the mask now but wait a few weeks on the toner since i just added niacinimide and want to see how that works for me first.
It’s finally here!!! (✿ ♥‿♥) Boxed set of every episode of super gals! I am SO HAPPY
Ran is why I have my hair done with the red streak and now I have the DVDs to watch any time as long as DVD players work xD
I am so happy to have found it for sale for a reasonable price, it’s immediately going on display with my super gals stuff
You may have noticed I only posted one day from the con so far ðŸ˜
I am very sick, something has been wrong with me since I returned from Japan and I don’t know what it is yet. I wrote it off as allergies but continued getting worse for the full month.
The urgent care doctors said I should have called emergency services when I was sick in Japan when this began, but I didn’t realize my symptoms warranted that. I need a neurology evaluation now and I’m kind of scared. Wait times for a specialist in the US can be months, and I can’t survive that long with this headache. Even once I get an appointment I’ll have to wait even longer for the scans and follow up.
They gave me a shot of medication today and I hope that will solve the headache for good, but it hasn’t yet.
I’m really worried but hoping it will all be okay.
My pre ordered tamagotchi arrived today!
I preordered this tamagotchi while I was in Japan and sort of forgot about it until I got the shipping notification this week xD it has Memetchi on the shell so I needed to have it.
It is a much needed happy surprise since I have been sick on and off all of July. I chocked it up to allergies, but saw my specialist when my face and eye were partially swollen a few days ago and he said I’ve been fighting a sinus infection all month. At least I have antibiotics now.
Today I got my first full size furby in the mail (✿◠‿◠)
I saw one in action at the anime con this weekend and I was very happy that I could still find one online.
I didn’t pay over retail price, but I was a little disappointed that mine came with. Clearance sticker clearly marked out, because this was from a third party Walmart seller. Other than that, opening the furby was a magical experience. The inside even becomes a backdrop set for the furby. They really put a lot of thought into it, and I wish other companies would put this much creativity into their packaging, even for something like makeup
My outfit was partially suggested by Alta, Tamiko recommended the app to me and I’ve been having fun with it. If you wanna friend me I’m Rae Melody there too! It’s kinda cool having a jumping off point for outfits.
I’ve been feeling simultaneously drained and hyper recently. I have a bunch of creative ideas but work/life is also draining me, so I haven’t even gotten around to uploading Japan photos yet. I have to get some off my camera first.
I’ve been looking at amekaji inspo images and I have some DIY ideas inspired by that, but with my own ideas mixed in too. I like the shapes and general ideas of the outfits, but the color schemes don’t feel like me, so I wanna make stuff that suits me.
After my trip, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I can use inspo from the past and make it work with items that are currently available to me. Part of the reason I really like old school is bc gals were using what they had and incorporating that into gal looks and eventually setting the trends that way. They weren’t always using brands made for gals or following trends, they were doing their own thing and eventually those ideas became trends. So I wanna take inspo from that vibe of being creative with what’s accessible to you and bringing your own ideas.
I’ve become a lot stronger of a person over the past year-ish and I feel like my style is stronger because of it. I wanna keep refining it and keep getting in touch with my true self through fashion ~ ~
Beforehand we went to Walmart bc I tanned enough to need a different foundation. I was trying to use concealer mixed with liquid bronzer everywhere but my face doesn’t like liquid makeup all over like that so I just got a few shades down in powder instead. I also got this lip oil I’ve been eyeing for a little while since mine is almost empty
lol can you believe that’s my tan shade? My natural skin tone is so light! I may go just a littleeeee bit darker and just add bronzer, but I don’t feel like tanning like I used to. I just wanna tan a little now and then for fun.
I also really wanted to go to find these shoes. LOVE. I obv can’t wear these for extended periods of time bc of my feet and ankle issues but they weren’t super expensive so I don’t mind. Don’t they look just like the kind of thing a 1999 gal would have?? I will probably wear them for seated meets and parties xD
