Weather Rant and Eyemazing Cosmetics


Monday January 31, 2011   

OK, I’m posting this, like, 4 hours after writing it! :deco13: I was hitting “post” when Mike came home & was very LET’S GO LET’S GO LET’S! That’ll make sense in the next paragraph :P :arrow:


Shhh I’m so tired of winter precipitation. :rainy: So it’s possibly snowing tonight beginning at 5:00. :drops: I’m on the train right now heading home, by the way. :deco8: Mike and I had planned to go out to Clyde’s tonight for dinner. :hungry: We haven’t been eating out much (part of the resolution was eating out no more than twice a week and even then only cheap places.) Mostly eating out is either to-go at the Italian market or at-the-most dining at cheap Asian bistros. :lol::deco13: Lol. Clyde’s isn’t overtly expensive but it’s nice and I wanna celebrate our taxes been done & submitted! Ok so yeah, WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. sigh. We’ll see what the weather’s like when Mike gets home. I get the feeling he doesn’t even want to go if there are even flurries falling. ぶーーー :cry:

Ah crap, just got a “Severe Weather Alert” email… not looking promising… :angry:

Anyway, so here’s a few snaps from Saturday. SHOULD HAVE JUST EATEN OUT THEN LOL. :deco13: Yeah I’m currently re-obsessed with my maxi dress. I can wear double layer tights and thick thigh high socks underneath it unlike with my jeans. Wearing my Rinka Barefoot Dreams hoodie too. I forget how warm this stays because it’s so thick and fluffy. :up:


:deco10: Coat: Barefoot Dreams [Rinka Edition]
:deco10: Jean Shirt, Boots: Yesstyle.com
:deco10: Dress: random store in Alta
:deco10: Mittens: Blue Moon Blue
:deco10: Bag: Cher :deco11:

Lashes are Jewerich tops with Eyemazing bottoms. :make:

Speaking of Eyemazing, They finally expanded to a cosmetics line. Wow. Pretty late to the game. :?: Dolly Wink and Diamond Lash did that forever ago. :deco13: I’m wondering if maybe Jun was too busy with her Carelance x Chereme line of sleep socks and cellulite rollers? :lol: And the packaging isn’t worth fawning over either. :deco13:


What gives? They charge as much as Dolly Wink. Maybe Dolly Wink has me spoiled on pretty packaging. :!?: Or even their lash packaging because it’s quite lovely. :deco5: This seems a bit too simple and a little reminiscent of dollar store packaging IMO. :?: Maybe they were trying to go for sleek & mature? I guess it’s no more lacking than Diamond Lash’s cosmetics’ packaging, though, DL has a wider selection. And maybe the makeups good???!! :P I haven’t tried any. But I haven’t seen it in magazine tutorials or on blogs either. :;_;: And not much on cosme.net yet either.

But I do like the lash line already and they came out with 3 new versions not too long ago. I’d love to try .006 ones! They’re for adding volume with other lashes. :make: Quite useful and more dramatic than adding on typical accent lashes on top of a full set. I just like the shape of the lashes. ::9:

Eyemazing bottom lashes are my favorite though the styles are extremely (two!) limited, I think Jun makes them really attractive. :deco12: They’re not super dramatic like Diamond Lash’s bottom’s line but somewhat different and less subtle than many of Dolly Wink’s. Blah, I don’t really have a great reason, :angry: I’m just strongly attracted to them! ^_^ Haahaa~~

I almost bought a pair of Jun’s collab sleeping socks from Loft. I decidedly put them back. They would have been my third pair of sleeping socks which I thought was a bit over-doing it, haahaa~ :deco13: Now she has some socks with rolling balls inside that massage your calves, haahaa :deco6:

These are snaps I sneakily took in the store which was hard because this was on display at the registers! Haa!! :deco14:

    hehe when i read “let’s go let’s go” at the top my mind was thinking… “bow chika wow wow” O . O hee

  2. Miranda says:

    Ugh. I know what you mean. I live on the border of DC and Maryland, the weather has just been horrific. I am so over snow. Lol.
    Btw, hello. :)

  3. I’ve been hearing about the crazy weather in Virginia, so it must be just as bad in DC. U.U Stay warm!! You always look so gorgeous in your photos, btw~ Such flawless skin!! :3

    I don’t think anyone can beat Tsubasa’s products.. That woman is on fire!! xD And yeah, I also think her packaging is way better than Eyemazing’s.

    • jenny says:

      Missha BBCream is a life saver for me & my skin XD! I agree, It just seems maybe she’s more involved with the product design too because she always posts pics of her WORKING either going through 100s of lashes or looking at a bunch of makeup inspiration cases.

  4. Mai says:

    I hate this weather because everyone drives 10000x more terrible and the DC area already has one of the worst traffic in the nation ~_~;;

    You look so adorable XD! I love your maxi dress.

    Is there any reason why stores in Japan don’t allow photographs :X?

    • jenny says:

      OMG YESSSSSS! Even when snow is FORECASTED people start driving like there’s already 3 feet of it on the roads IDEK drives me insane!

      I dunno why they don’t allow photos actually. Maybe they fear competing stores will know their prices? Or worry it’ll shy away customers if people are in there taking snaps? Either way nearly EVERY store has a “no photos” sign on it, it’s insane.

  5. Jenii says:

    I agree, the packaging is…lacking.

    Damn it. I’m over this weather. Why couldn’t it all come at once like last year?!! LUMP SUM SNOOOW! I’m over this snow storm/blizzard every other week.

  6. M says:

    CUTEEE :D :D :D :D
    u hve really good skin man

  7. Tori says:

    Awe, I hope the weather doesn’t get TOO terrible by you :( I’m so ready for spring to get here~
    I love your new ‘in motion’ coordinate photos too, they’re so cute & unique! The Eyemazing bottoms look fabulous on you~

  8. zoraida says:

    you look so floofy and cuddlyyyyyyfuwaerjeirs

  9. Courtney says:

    Love the hair and make! This very simple make really suits you, too. :) Maybe I just never noticed before, but it seems like you don’t show us a lot of natural make, more of the ‘Saturday styles’ . :)
    Ah, I bet your Rinka hoodie is cozy now! I’d kill for some moku moku roomwear this winter. :P

  10. Michelle says:

    Your coordinate and make-up look amazing! I wish I could rock eyemazing eyelashes but alas, my eyes are just not cut out for them. Speaking of which, are their cosmetics line any good? I’m a faithful Dolly Wink user so I haven’t been able to try out other gal brands, lol. And before I forget, Candydoll also has a base make-up collection coming out this spring! It’s all Tsu-chan been talking about in her new blog. I’m definitely excited, that’s for sure!

    Hope you have a great week :-)

    • jenny says:

      I don’t know how their cosmetics are, haven’t gotten to try them for myself yet :) Yeah I saw that on her blog! I wonder what the colortone will be like, I use BBCream and the color matches pretty well but I always worry about overseas colors not matching my skintone~ hmm~ hmm

  11. Thao says:

    Weather sounds terrible. Make sure to get your vitamin D when you can! :D

  12. Tasja says:

    I also want sleeping socks that message my calves *-* genius idea! but I doubt if it really works haha

    hmm.. the packaging is not really nice.. but it is the inside that counts :D?

    Also good luck with the weather ~.~ sounds really terrible! I can’t even handle the dutch weather.. which is kinda “fine” just very cold ~.~

    • jenny says:

      Yea I don’t know how much better the socks would work compared to using a roller or even massaging with your hands! I doubt they work as well as massaging with a roller =Y

  13. Linda says:

    i looooove your false eyelashes! :DDD and i’m glad you were able to eat out today!

  14. Magda says:

    LOL@the first comment!! XD

    Hmhmm, the 006 lashes look interesting, but overall nothing too exciting about Junpo’s new releases, harumpf. I guess her fans will buy it anyway! ;)

    • jenny says:

      I was surprised this line wasn’t cheaper than Dolly Wink items. It’s actually 200yen more than Diamond Lash goods so I wonder how the quality is, maybe really good, but doesn’t seem people are clamoring for it.

  15. Ys says:

    Ooh the fuzzy hoodie looks so warm. I wish I had one :) I hope you managed to get out past the snow!

  16. Jing says:

    It’s probably because they are testing the waters. If they find that people are actually interested in their make products then they might go onto investing more in the packaging (just a theory :P). Anyway, I love your maxi dress outfit. You look very cozy in it :)

  17. Alyse says:

    My mums been telling me about the ridic weather rolling through the region ;w; Reminds of that terrible snow storm we had last year around Christmas.. I was almost trapped at work..! Thank goodness I found a taxi driver with snow tires =w=… He vaguely reminded me of Santa too.. LOL

    I hope the weather gets better though..!♥
    Your outfit looks so warm and comfy though ^o^

    Also, those eyelashes look nice.. I like the way they’re divided.. if that makes sense.. ♪

  18. Bianca says:

    YOUR SO DAMN CUTE TT^TT I CANT STANDS IT

    srsly i like come to you blog like its a japanese magazine (BUT BETTUH CUZ I CAN REAL ALL OF IT!) its storming here too btw, they said 18inches but nothing cool ever happens to chicago except that fake earthquake we had last year that no one felt….i mean i dont want a disaster i just feel like im being lied to so milk sales go up…:/

    ME WANT LASHES //steals & runs like hell//

    by the by do you know what style like “Jille, Zipper, Soup, Fudge” fall under?

    • Bianca says:

      it has to have more titles than the umbrella mekas gives youhttp://www.mekas.jp/en/tutorials/132.xhtml#5

    • jenny says:

      Yeah you guys need to start building a SNOW ARK. We’re having THE GREAT MELT today because it was a bit sunny and 50F if you can believe it! What will you guys do DX

      Style? Well I can tell you what the magazines are currently “referring” to themselves as, though it does change depending on their audience. Like CUTiE used to be Independent Street Fashion but it’s now calling itself Oshare Girls magazine, oshare meaning fashionable (amongst other things) because they focus on Shibuya WAY more than they used to back in the day when all the brands they featured were Harajuku based.

      So Jille is “Real Casual” Zipper is “Casual Street” Soup is “Personal Style Magazine (for women in their 20’s)” *lol their words, not mine,* and Fudge calls itself “High Casual Fashion” meaning $$$ fashion house brands.

  19. Nami says:

    I’ve always thought that the “sleeping socks” and those kind of products were pretty interesting. I’ve never tried anything like it though haha.
    I agree, the eyemazing make-up line looks a little too plain. I feel like packaging-wise it doesn’t compete with Dolly Wink at all (Dolly Wink’s packaging is just so cuuuute!). So I guess the product would have to do all the competing, no? Maybe they wanted to keep the packaging simple to focus on the product itself? I don’t know honestly haha but that was just a thought I had..

    • jenny says:

      I have to say I LOVE my sleeping socks. I have the Qtto versions and I swear they keep my legs from swelling the next morning. I do leg massage by hand and with cellulite roller and it makes them quite tighter and no bloating, but by the next morning my legs would be back to normal bloating but these socks actually keep them slim the next day :)

      I agree with you on the packaging, very possible!

  20. Fatiha says:

    Yesh ~ it really is too cold to do anything/go anywhere outside… O_O I’m shivering even though i’m in my house! Lately all I’ve been doing is throwing a bunch of stuff on to keep myself warm!
    Winter does things to you… *sigh*
    The roads are already covered up in snow!! The deck in my back yard is covered with 2-3 ft. of it… I hope it doesn’t break through…

    Stay Warm!!

  21. Lisa says:

    Jenny Kawaii~~~ ^^ that is all~ :] lovely post~

  22. Ham-Cham says:

    ugh big snowstorm here today/tonight….
    hmm maybe no school tomorrow, though? :DDD *hopeful*
    ahh but your makeup~ it’s so… perfect! * Q *
    really like it~ ^ ^

  23. Cindii says:

    Wah yay for getting to go out!! I have yet to do my taxes. Oops. Haha.

    o0oo pretty lashes!

    • jenny says:

      You’ve still got plenty of time! I got my state back already but apparently fed taxes are delayed due to new tax laws so not sure when those will be processed =_=

  24. Veronica says:

    Aw you’re too cute! Yeah the packaging leaves something to be desired. Especially after looking at Maj.Majorca! Whoa! Step it up graphic designers!

  25. Betty says:

    We don’t have crazy snow here but it’s soooo ridiculously cold in Vancouver right now. I just want warm weather and I don’t care if we skip right to Summer!

    Whatever outfits you put together are always so darn cuuute!! I need to figure out how to apply lashes. I dread removing my mascara at night but I want the dolly eye look^-^

    • jenny says:

      I hate removing makeup at all, it’s such a pain in the a$$. I love L’Oreal’s fiber mascara because with warm water they just pull off but I don’t always wear it and wear waterproof (b/c I’m allergic to washable mascaras) instead and having to dab & dab and rub & rub with eye-makeup remover can be tiresome after some long days for sure.

  26. Dana says:

    Jenny where is this awesome store? I go down to DC like once a yr or so and would love to go there. All I have near me is a big Mitsuwa Marketplace and a bookstore unless I trek over to NYC (20 min expensive train ride).

  27. Kayano says:

    Love your new eye make~! ♥
    i also wear Jewerich and Eyemazing lashes

    are you wearing Jewerich #2 and Eyemazing #201?

    you look as beautiful as always ♥

  28. Dana says:

    =) I meant where you took the pic of the sock display. But I am figuring it’s probably japan lol

  29. Sarah says:

    You’re so pretty~
    * A *
    Love your eye make up! I’ve never tried false lashes though.

    • jenny says:

      They take some time to get used to putting on but after a while it becomes easier :D

      • Sarah says:

        Maybe I’ll try falsies some time. But I think I should probably master eyeliner first. Haha. For an 18 year old, I’m such a makeup noob. ( >3>) Same goes for hair styling. I’m horrible at curling my hair. ( > n

  30. rene says:

    The outfit look so comfy and cuteee!
    Your eyes are so doll like with those lashes!

  31. jenny says:

    Why thank you, so nice :P

  32. cin says:

    Ok I’m reading the entries backwards oopssss
    I love the maxi dress cordi! It’s inspiring me to wear mine today ^^ (It’s super windy so maybe I should wear that rather than mini skirts!)

  33. LOL! I go to Clyde’s all the time with my family when I’m home visiting DC. It’s one of my parent’s favorite restaurants and I always get those chicken livers.

    Been a while since I’ve visited girl, good stuff!
