Feeling so….posh *ღ~♡~ღ*

(Note: This post is way overdue, as there is not even snow on the ground anymore LMAO. But I’ve been swarmed with busy-ness and stuff and I never really got a chance to edit this post until today…and I definitely couldn’t have it go to waste! Soooo sorry for updating so sparsly. Please enjoy this post and I promise to update more often!)

-------------------------------

Omg it’s been so cold here in Wisconsin lately..snow has been falling everywuurrrr :p

To be honest I really dislike winter.  I hate cold weather. It does horrible things to my body and skin, and before I started taking a multi-vitamin daily I used to get sick like every single day!

But even though I can’t stand winter itself, I love snow! It’s so pretty and fluffy!

Now I must convince panda to have an epic snowball fight with me…even though he’s so strong that one of his snowballs might knock me unconscious. Haha 

The other day my mom and I went to a spa in my town called Urszula’s to get facials done! It’s a European salon that specializes in hair care, nail care, skincare and massage therapy..love, love, love!♥

This was my first time getting a facial, and I will DEFINITELY be going back to get another!My face was incredibly smooth afterwards and my skin looked even toned and hydrated! (which is very hard for me to achieve during the winter) They used some of the best products on my skin, almost all of which were organic.

Also the entire atmosphere of the spa is amazingly comforting and fancy, and the people there are so friendly. Totally loved my experience there!  In my opinion it’s really hard to find a decent spa here in Milwaukee with quality service and really good products, but Urszula’s makes up for that. If I was a rich girl I’d be at the spa every weekend! 

Panda and I also hung out at Alterra’s the day before:

My baby is smiling! I adore his smile.♥

I was so happy I got to spend time with him…my boyfriend started to work long shifts at a new job so we don’t get to see each other as often as we used to.   But when I do see him I cherish every moment of it! I know all of this is leading up to a wonderful life for us together, so I shall continue to be patient. ^_^

We both shared some pretty yummy chai tea lattes at alterra! They are teh bestest.
If I had to rank the places that sell the best chai lattes, it would be:

1 – Panera Bread

2 – Alterra

3 – Starbucks

Yes yes yes! Even though starbucks tops all of these places in coffee, they got nuthin’ on the chai latte from Panera!♥

Also I experimented with a few things and cut one of my wigs all on my own.
This black wig that used to be this length:

I cut to this length!:

I was in shock at how nicely it turned out…I was sure it was going to look just as sloppy and lopsided as can be since I have absolutely NO experience in cutting hair whatsoever. But I was pretty pleased with the results! 

It was actually panda’s suggestion for me to try cutting it! He wanted to see how I’d look in a shorter hairstyle since he’d never seen me in short styles before, and since it was an old wig I figured ‘Well, why not give it a shot?’:

^^back in 2009..before I became ‘gyaru-in-training’ lol!

I actually haven’t worn a short style since 2009, so it was a nice change. And my panda bear loved it. He says that shorter hair on me is sexy and mature.♥

Also doubled my dolly wink lashes..they still weren’t as bold as I thought they’d be, so I’m not sure if I layered them properly or not. =S

Short hair ftw! 

I've been playing around with picnik lately too...usually I don't really care to photoshop my pictures because it creates a deceptive depiction of how I look (even though make-up does the same, but photo-shop does it even worse LOL!), but I do admit that it does make them look so much more polished! c:

So shopped. Obviously. lawlz. c:

I am hungry, cold, sleepy and missing panda as I type this entry. O.o

Time to go fix those emotions one by one! Haha ^_~

What length do you like your hairstyles to be the most? c:

じゃまたね!♥

Dolly Wink lash review~♥

Ugh this blog is so belated. (´Д` ) I hate being busy!!!! lol anyhoo..it took me forevvvvvers but I finally went ahead and bought Tsubasa’s Dolly Wink eyelashes. With her being one of my favorite models I’m like a weird fangirl since I am attempting to try out nearly everything she makes. I’d been holding back on the lashes because of the price, but I found them on Sasa for only $14 and some change, including shipping!

They came in the mail on the same day that panda and I were going to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie (which was sooo good, by the way..even better than the first one!), so I decided to wear them with my look!♥

Top: Forever 21
Skirt: Wet Seal

Purse: My Flat in London

Also was inspired to do a beehive look for my hair..saw it in Ageha so I wanted to try it out too!:

^^Of course it ended up getting flat by the end of the night since I rested my head up against panda during the movie..haha :p

lol I love how happy panda looks in this picture :D

Now about the lashes!
I ended up getting No. 1: Dolly Sweet style, which is the cutest option in my humble opinion. Of course it comes with two pairs, a tube of glue and even instructions as to how to put them on.

These lashes are very light-weight and dolly-ish, hence the name. The hair also feels quite natural as well which is another plus! One thing about them though is that the lash band is super duper long…one of the reasons why I wanted to try them as well. Obviously my eyes are very large and whenever I wear falsies I can never find any that stretch across my entire lash line, which can be frustrating. Others may want to trim these down a bit, but I personally found them just right!

The lash band is also clear, which is also something I love. A clear lash band makes it easier to blend into make-up and the ‘fake-ness’ is not as apparent. Also it seems as if they stay on your eyes for a much longer period of time.

Eyes: Almay intense i-color smokey eye shadow in "Trio for hazels 023"

Face: Revlon Photo Ready Foundation in 'Cappuccino'

Lips: Iman Luxury Lip Shimmer in "Decadent" layered over Covergirl Queen Collection lipstick in "Burgendelicious"

• Light-weight and flexible - Whenever I wear a pair of falsies and I can't feel them on my eyelids at all, I am pretty much immediately in love. That's exactly how these were, they were as light as a feather! They didn't make my lids feel heavy or create that weird "visor shade" type thing that certain types of lashes tend to do. It was easy for me to forget that I had them on at times! They were also very flexible, probably because the lash band itself is quite thin. The great flexibility made it so easy to apply to my eyes!  ヾ（*⌒ヮ⌒*）ゞ

• Long lash band - As many of you can already tell by now, I have some pretty large eyes lol.  Because of this often times I run into the issue of falsies having a lash band that is too short to stretch across my lash line, which is really annoying. >-< One of the reasons I wanted to try Dolly Wink is because the lashes are much longer than usual ones, and even though it still didn't cover my lash line completely, these are the only lashes I've tried that extend as far as they do! The longer band makes my lashes look as if they are applied much better, imo. As I stated before, people who have smaller eyes may want to trim them a bit, but they were fine the way they were for me. 

• Dainty and girlish style - Wearing these seemed to give my eyes a much more innocent and dainty girly look, which I liked a lot actually!♥ The lashes are thicker towards the outer corners of them, which creates a cute little curly flair thingamabob that I simply adore, and that went really well with my eye shape. Tsubasa's make in general is usually very light and dainty, so these are perfect if you are going for a sweet angelic look.

☆彡★彡SAD FACE☆彡★彡

• Not very bold; Doesn’t “pop” - Oh, how this was to my disappointment. =/ I think that, depending on your eye shape, these can be some very bold and dramatic lashes. But for my eyes, besides creating a little curl and flare at the end, they were honestly pretty light and not noticeable in appearance. I wasn't expecting to look exactly like Tsubasa of course, but I was expecting a little bit more of an "oomph".

• Ugh, the glue!! - Ohhhh my gooooodnesss I hated the glue. In my personal opinion, it was horrible! The texture was like a gross cottage cheese type of thing going on, and once it "dried" (which it seemed to be dry once I squeezed it out) it wasn't very sticky at all. I placed the lash on my eye and it fell right back off after I blinked. Dislike!! I tend to wear my lashes for long hours and often with my lenses. When I wear my lenses I also use eye drops, so I need a strong glue that will be able to hold up against moisture. Maybe I just got a bad batch of it, but I certainly won't be using it again..I'll stick to my usual ardell lash grip.

MY RATING (OUT OF 5 HEARTS):

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 1/2

4 ½ hearts

I actually kinda liked my ebay ones a little bit better than these when it comes to appearance because they are much more bold, which is something I want in order to create the look I’m going for. Regardless though I think I would probably buy these again..they’re definitely quality lashes and I prefer more of those than the cheapie ones.

My most favorite thing about these though would of course be the clear and long lash band! It is total and complete love! There are two pairs and I’ve seen so many tutourials about how to layer lashes, so…maybe I will put them to use now in an effort to make these appear much more bold. ♥ 

Have you tried any of the Dolly Wink lashes or products? How do you feel about them? ｡◕‿◕｡
