my special day and some future review products!

 Hi Loves♥

Ive been meaning to blog more often and I always gets obstacles in my way and things do not go smoothly as planned,,, :( Moving to MN and the winters here have been really taking a big toll on my body... cant seems to get adjusted to this extreme cold no matter how warm I dress, no matter how well I eat and take care of myself I seem to get sick T__T I did have AMAZING 3 years Anniversary with Zach on Thurs 1/20th but after that I just started to feel like crap and by Sat I was completely sick and started to have a fever... D:

So we are talking about relocating again somewhere that doesnt have extreme winter but still have 4 seasons :D

 THX everyone for entering in my mini giveaway!! more to come~♥

and here are the 2 winner to my mini mask giveaway~

CinnaBunnie  Selma Zheng 

please email me your info or I will find your contacts since I forgot to ask for email :)

ok back to the topic,, I wanted to share some photos from Thursday~♥

I was super excited mostly cause of this cake lol X3 There is this Japanese library that I go to and I saw an ad for bake goods made by Satomi with photos of her creation and I almost jumped in excitement since the nearest Japanese bakery is in Chicago and thats like 6 hour drive from here so with that said I was super happy that I saw her ad! So that night I wrote her an email and had a cake requested and she was super sweet and told me she would make it anyway I want!! So I requested my favorite strawberry shortcake but with a twist,, Zach LOVES chocolate so I asked her if she could make the inside cream chocolate with strawberry slices :D

She made the cake as I imagined was super happy when I saw this cake! she made everything from scratch with real creme even this choco plate and tasted SO GOOD! ♥

This cake was 7" for only $20! XD

she makes other pastry such as cream puff, eclair, melon pan, matcha cake and more~ I already requested another cake for my moms birthday that is coming up this weekend so I cant wait to have more cake again!! ^__^

If you live in Minneapolis area and would like to order Japanese style pastry you can contact Satomi-san at satominiki@gmail.com you can tell her you heard from Erika :)

another thing I was happy was that Zach surprised me with this rose when I woke up, you have to know Zach he doesnt do typical the buying flowers and candy to make a girl happy I always got suck with gadgets and things that a guy would love to get so this was a surprise since the last time he got me flowers was like 2 years ago lol

He said he ordered baby pink roses instead they sent hot pink roses... lol but it was still pretty~♥

 

For dinner we had a reservation at this French place Chez Daniel since we wanted to try something different and read their rack of lamb was amazing so there we went, our meal was great but the service was not that great our waitress seemed like she was having a bad day and just had an attitude since we sat down but it we just brushed it off :P

sorry the photo quality isnt good below, I didnt want to bring the heavy D90 around so dinner was taken with a point and shoot.... :P 

dinner started with a salad, 

then a strawberry sorbet to cleanse our palette this was super good~ :D

my dinner was Lobster and scallop Risotto with truffles, this was super good but didnt care for those greenery that topped on it

Zach had the rack of lamb, he loved it~very hefty portion so he was happy

oh and the dinner finished off with chocolate covered strawberry so it was a good meal :)

Then another surprise of the day, when we sat down he gave me this and told me to open after dinner~♥ like I told you he NEVER bought me any girly things before which means havent gotten me any jewelry so this was my first from him! shocked!

As he knows me I love bows lol so he thought this was my style~ he was right! simple kawaii bow from Tiffany & Co ♥ said it was weird going to Tiffany and buying this on his own lol

 then after we watched Black Swan with Natalie Portman, I dont think it was a good loving date movie  but sure was good! Her acting and the Cinematography was amazingly done we enjoyed it alot ^__^

some review products you will see in the next few posts, finally get to test out Dolly Wink eyeshadow palette and new contacts to review thanks to Pinkyparadise :)

  

got the palette in 01 in brown since this would be most wearable even though I have way too many browns and neutrals I couldnt resist D: 

 I got Dueba shinny Grey and shiny violet since I liked the shinny turquoise I wanted to see what the other shades looks like as well~ 

and thanks to my Hunnie Rina I get to try out new My Beauty Diary Blooming mask series♥

thanks Love I still havent used them yet but I will sure to make more "me" time and enjoy masks ^__^

well that was it for this post~ 

next up giveaway for KUSOpop and Maihiro

p.s

Im sorry my comment forum with Disqus are messed up it keeps on erasing my comments D:

Im talking to them right now with why this is happening and ultimately I might have to use another service instead... :(

If you have questions you can always ask me on twitter so I can get back to you fast & efficiently♥ I do try to check it once a day~

Thanks for stopping by again Take care~♥

XOXO

Melliesh False eyelash in #01 Doll review + FOTD

Hello Hello♥

Another close ups of Melliesh products with a Melliesh FOTD :D

Thanks to Rina I got to try Melliesh lash in 01 Doll that was on my list to buy~ I also used Melliesh Lip gloss in 05 Honey Apricot and cheek color in 05 kogao that I bought from Apopofkawaii.com

Melliesh are Japanese gyaru cosmetic brand Yui Kanno produced. I was really excited to try her line to see how they are and I am pleased with this line :D Very comparable to other gyaru cosmetic lines such as Dolly Wink and Candy Doll!

Here are their false lash line:

01. Doll 02. Cat 03. Natural 05. Sweet * lower lash 06. Rich *lower lash 

Melliesh false lashes are made out of synthetic material so it does feel coarse so the quality arent as great as Dolly Wink since they are handmade and uses natural hair so compared to Dolly Wink lashes there is a big difference in the quality of Melliesh lashes but what I am very pleased was that it is comfortable! I think with false lashes they should feel completely natural on the eyes so light weight band really helps I forget that I have them on :3

The style of the lashes are pretty as well I didnt cut any off since I wanted a Dolly wing look like how Yui's wearing em :) Depending of how you wear this lash from downwards to upwards you can create natural to drastic pretty looks! 

Melliesh 01 Doll

Melliesh Lip gloss in 05 Honey Apricot

I had hard time choosing the shade since all of their pinky lippies are so pretty but I felt like I already had similar shades so I opted to get 05 since I didnt have peachy nude pink lip gloss, their description for this lip gloss says "Adult kawaii pink beige" so that intrigued me even more so I had to get it XD

Here are Melliesh lip gloss shades: 

01. strawberry milk 02. Baby Doll 03. Nudy beige 04. Juicy orange 05. Honey Apricot 06. Candy pink

Ok so this lip gloss claims what you see are what you get on your lips since they are 2 in 1 meaning lip concealer+ lip shade in one so they are supposed to be very opaque lip glosses so naturally its going to be thick in consistency but what I love about this lip gloss are that the lip gloss itself doesnt feel gross on the lips no greasiness, no unnecessary excessive stickiness, weird taste, and does not makes my lips flake like some lip glosses instead it feels gel like consistency, keeps my lips moist and it goes on thick so it conceals my natural lip shade really well! :) but the downfall to this lip gloss are that its small ... T__T;; 

Melliesh Cheek Color in 05 Kogao Brown (shading shade)

I was in search of contour shade for my really pale skin and since Yui Kanno seems to pretty pale so I wanted to see how this powder finishes, I wanted a shade that looked natural like the color of my natural shaded areas and in the photos looks very promising since I didnt want typical bronzer shade since it said in their description its dark beige shade. 

Here are Melliesh cheek colors shades:

01. Elegant Rose 02. Baby peach 03. Doll Pink 04. Sunset orange 05. Kogao *petite face* brown *shading shade 06. Clear lavender *highlight shade

ok so what I really like about this powder is that its very fine and silky so it blends really well and does not give off chalky unnatural finish but what I felt is that this shade is too orange for me instead of giving off "dark beige" shade it looks orangy-brown which I was really disappointed with :( I was really hoping that it gave off as is color since the shade looks promising but its just looks like unnatural shade on me.. maybe its great contour shade for someone that are alittle bit darker than me like that are in NC25 or over.
