Can't wait for the secret reveal!!

Tomorrow is the big day for LUSH because they are launching EMOTIONAL BRILLIANCE!!
I heard about this from Amber and Sarah when I visited them in store the other day. (there is a post about that from a few days ago if you want to read about it.)

What is EMOTIONAL BRILLIANCE?? What is so secret about it??

Apparently it is a whole new range of products from LUSH that is so different from the products they had.

I just got this invitation card for Saturday and I had to ask what it was about but they wouldn't tell! Of course, it is a secret.

It seems like it has a concept of tailor-made just for you. And there would be 30 new products!

WHAT IS ITTT!!!????

So when I came home I did a bit of research online and found out some amazing photos and reviews about it.
But I am not telling here! Because it will be revealed I public tomorrow anyway!!!

It will be released on 21st July all over the world. That means Australia and New Zealand Gets the product first!! How cool is that?! Now finally everyone is jealous of us, down under.

So I am going to go to my local LISH tomorrow I see the release of the new line on a special display and to experience all the fun!

Stay informed here to find out more about it!!

Good night! Have a lovely weekend!

Yui

June favorite time!!

FINALLY the video is uploaded and available on YouTube. Phew!

It went after 5 attemps of uploading and, boy, it was a loooong day. (Actually it took 2 days.)

I apologize for the late June video. I really feel bad about this so I am so glad that it is finally there.
When I make the favorite videos, they tend to be long because I kidna review them at the same time, but not too much in details.
If the products deserve a full attention, like it is an amazing or very poor products, I would make a video dedicated more to the products.

Now, it is July and I am excited about so many things!
A lot of new products are coming out in July. And there are some stuff I have been trying out and I think there will be a BIG July fav. video!

Oh, oh, I got a package from Sigma today.
Sigma sent out my order and it got to my home (apparently) a while ago but it was sent back to my local post office and someone left the note (again apparently). But I seriously got nothing and have been emailing Sigma asking what is taking so long.
Well, turned out to be that they had it since 20th June. So more than 6 weeks, it had been sitting for 5 weeks waiting for me to pick up while I had no idea where it was .

So! Sorry, Sigma! It was not your fault all along!
And I got my package and photos and reviews are going to be posted separately on this blog as I try them out.

Hope you enjoy the video. Good night!

Love,

Yui

Lushy girls

Hi, long time no post! I knowwww. I have been making my June fav. video and a video about soap but my hard drive failed and I lost my data! I am so sad. :( you cannot trust your machines.

But there was something to smile about!! Today I met two awesome girls at LUSH!!

A new kiosk opened at my local shopping center and I am so happy! Now the shopping center smells good when I come in. :)

I have been loving my toothy tabs from LUSH because they are delicious!
Well, they are not yummy to be honest with you. They taste kinda funny on the tongue but if leaves my mouth and tongue so fresh and so sweet! I know it is not really making sense but it uses essential oils and you know these oils aren't going to taste good, right? But they smell so GOOD! So it makes a funny sensation while/after using them. It feels a bit uncomfortable to chew and break the tablets that taste weird but after the torture of the essential oils, my mouth is lovely and it smells like a rosy Turkish delight! And I think I do not have the gross morning breath either. I have used it a few times only but I never noticed the usual yucky feeling in the morning. (I am pretty sure you all know what it is like. )
This innovative, interesting product cost only $4. Yay, inexpensive LUSH!

They have DIRTY, which is a typical minty scent, Breath of God,which is sandal wood and vanilla, Ultrablast, which contains wasabi, even though you won't taste it, CHOO CHOO I love you, which is rosy one that I have.
They had some other flavors but I forgot. :P

Also I looooove Ro's argan body conditioner! It also smells kinda rosy and yummy. This is not a super sweet smell but kinda sweet like your mom is in your memory. When you were a kid, didn't you wonder why your mom smelled so sweet? I did.
So it smells gentle and sweet with a bit of rose in it.
How to use it is also interesting because you are supposed to put this on and leave it for a while and wash off, just like your hair conditioner. You can leave it on if you want to. I tried to leave it on today and I think the scent lingers a lit longer.

What I like about this is simply the smell and how gentle it is!!! This conditioner is a bit oily when you put it on your hands but the moisturizing effect does not last super long either. It is probably because I am used to what the hand creams and body moisturizers which contains silicone feel like.
Silicone are great sealant, so it does not let the moisture go, and safe to use on human skin, but LUSH is trying to make it all natural if possible, so they use the minimum amount of synthetic stuff. So when I look at the ingredients, this skin conditioner does not have silicone. I don't think it is super necessary but it is nice to have silicone free moisturizer, of course.

My favorite at the moment, even though I do not own it... I just go into LUSH store and get this all over my hands!!

Texture is very rich and it is very very VERY moisturizing. It leaves some kind of residue, but it is not too slimy.

It is a very pale pinkish nude colored cream. Kinda feels like jelly feeling. It is not runny.

I wish this came in a smaller half-sized jar or something because it is a bit pricey and all the LUSH stuff is fresh so I am not sure if I can use the whole jar within USE-BY date.

Pretty girls at LUSH!

Sarah, me and Amber.

Thanks to their friend for taking our photo. :)

We, girls know that black makes women look sexy. :P

Have a good night!

Love,

Accessory haul time!

Accessory haul!!

So here I was at Diva store, and I picked up these awesome items for amazing prices!!

All of them for $16. I love a big bargain, who doesn't??
My fave fave favorite thing is my accessory organizer. This thing is really neat!
I will upload a photo of it with all the jewelry in it tomorrow.
My jewelry and accessories are looking like crammed food in ziploc bags now.
Yikes!
Finally they found a better place to rest. :)

I am working on this project to compare drugstore makeup wipes. Hopefully I will make some videos when I have some time. What do you think?
Let me know which is your favorite makeup wipes!

Everyone loves a good bargain.

Hi makeup lovers!!
So I went shopping to DFO in Homebush today.
Here is OOTD.

My dress is from a thrift shop in Japan.
Jacket: Probably g.u. but could be from UNIQLO.
Socks: All day socks.
Shoes: Converse high cut with cute skulls.
Bag: Tote bag from Kanjani eight concert 2011.
Headphone: Domo-Kun headphone from Easter showbag.
Necklace: Necklace from exhibition of Salvador Dali.

I bought makeup, shoes and some random stuff, and I will show you once I have a time to photograph.

I got rained on again today. Apparently the weather does not like me very much. But the bus drivers of the busses I caught were all very nice. Those little things can make your day, really. When you talk to nice people, you feel nice too. That's very important. So I want to be the person that someone talks to and feel nice from. You can't do that 24-7 but you can always try and some days you are are the person. You make yourself happy when you make other people happy too.

Good night, have a sweet dreams!
Yui.

REMINGTON Curls Curls Curls review + May Favorite video

Thanks and welcome, makeup lovers!!

It is pouring outside today. It was very nice and sunny when I was getting ready for work so there was no thoughts of taking an umbrella with me to work... (Although my boyfriend took his brand-new compact umbrella with him that he just got yesterday from my friend as a gift.) So when I was coming home, it was raining and I just got wet. A LOT.

It is not far away from where I work at all, it is just like 5 blocks away so I always walk to work. But this distance was long enough to make me soaked!

MY HAIR!!!! EWWWWWWWWW!!!!

I just styled it just the way I loved with this new hair curling iron this morning, now my hair looked worse than wet dog with dread-lock-y hair.

I dried my hair and changed wet clothes, now I am wrapped in a blanket sipping a herbal tea, but I suspect that this event is making my cold come back, which I recovered from just yesterday. I hope my immune system is not that bad. *hope hope*

So let's talk about the actual products!

Here the review and favorite video. 

Wonder Curl eyelash curler review

So, I really wanted to do the review video for this product because I loved it.
But that's not all.
Because I thought it was dangerous.
I know it is not really making sense. But it is like a laser hair removal. You can expect a great result but there is a risk.

The bottom line; JUST BE CAREFUL.
Yes, it is that easy. It is the same with your normal eyelash curlers.


Do you remember the first time you encountered the idea of putting eyeliner on waterline? I thought it was cool but it was scary at the same time. It might cause some kind of problem in the distant future(mayyybe), some ophthalmologist are worried too, but people love the effect and people will keep doing it.
This eyelash curler is nothing compare to putting a lot of chemical stuff in your eyes, but it might come with a little bit of pain, so I decided that it is fair to put a warning too.

FIRST POST

Hi everyone! Welcome to my beauty blog!

I had been thinking of starting a separate blog about beauty related things but I also knew that it would be much harder to maintain all the blogs that I have. (I also have another Japanese beauty blog and a Japanese general blog, both separate)

So I will keep things simple.
This is mainly for the swatch pictures.
The reviews will be posted on my YouTube channel (ChewyMakeup) but swatches are harder on videos so I always wanted a blog where I can simply post some swatch photos.
I will also try to make some comments about the product when I am reviewing them but you don't want to read the same thing to what I say in the video so I won't just keep blabbering the same thing over and over again. So please keep this in mind that this blog is going to be more like to provide supportive information to my video channel.

Thanks again and see you soon!

Yui
