The two pouches I keep my makeup in. The one on the left is my main hanging + travel pouch from Sephora. I keep this in my closet and switch out makeup into the pouch on the right. The right pouch is smaller and this has my current “daily makeup” in it. I switch out what’s in it regularly especially blushes and lip colors depending on my mood.
Just Purchased…
These 3 items I just bought to test out. It’s a sample pack from Benefit. Only $10 and includes small versions of Benefit’s “That Gal” primer, “The POREfessional PRO” balm, and their “Stay Don’t Stray” eye primer.
I’ve tried the eye primer already as a free sample. I like Urban Decay’s better still. I’m currently using the pore balm. Making sure it doesn’t break me out with daily use. So far seems OK, hard to tell. 
I’ll know when I’m done with the tube. Then I’ll try out “That Gal.” So far I’m not over impressed by either but I’ll give it time.

Everything Lately
Friday, August 12th, 2011 | 57 Comments
I still feel sorta in “away” mode. 
Especially with my blog. It’s not that I don’t have anything to post and looking at the photos I’ve had piling up I thought I’d just go ahead and make one big mega post on a bunch of random things. 
I don’t feel very good at managing my time lately and it ends up causing me a lot of unnecessary stress. So I’m going to think about that as I go into the weekend
Used Mix Style Stuff-
So last week I received my order from using Cin’s Shopping Service! 
I wanted to get my hands on the summer issue of 古着MIXガールズ. I randomly picked up last summer’s issue at a Book Off and it just spurred a new love for me. 
So, to me, this magazine is special and of course difficult as balls to get here in the States. 
I was considering contacting Fujisan.com to start carrying it for subscription (like I did for PopSister) but looks like they consider it as a “book.” Whatever, deal with that some other day!
Cin included a small gift too!!!!! 
A Lowry’s Farm navy blue shopper bag and SWIMMER ear bud accessories! The SWIMMER cat is a cord winder/organizer and the bows snap onto the earbuds. 
VIB Sephora Perk-
Last weekend was double points at Sephora plus a nice freebie kit for VIB members. VIB = I SPEND TOO MUCH YEARLY ON MAKEUP. 
But the perks are nice & lessen the guilt of KNOWING you have a makeup addiction. 
*hysterical laughter*
So this kit had perfume samples, lip & cheek stain, a chemical peel or something, mascara, etc. etc. I was excited to use the NARS makeup primer though!! But in the end it caused me a zit the next day so yeah I’m probably not going to use it again. But anyway, there were some useful items nonetheless. 
Evian Mist Praise-
Then I also bought Evian mist for the first time! So far it’s AMAZING. It shouldn’t be, it’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever purchased and at the same time the greatest! I’ll avoid details but basically I usually don’t have such dry skin in the summer but I do this year and I’ve tried many many things. Using this has had the best results!!
And the very day I started using it Mike asked if I did my makeup differently because it looked so fresh. This was POST-WORK when usually I look… well, like I’ve been wearing makeup for 8 hours! Then the next day too he said my face looked “fresh & happy.”
The reviews of it made me really happy. 
Lots of people who get acne (like me) say it helps. I’m not surprised because I do facial scrubs when I have dry skin because if I don’t the dry skin will clog my pores. This keeps it from drying in the first place. Also others mentioned buying it felt stupid because it’s just water but that they now couldn’t live without it.
Lashes & Falsies Flared-
I tweeted that I needed more natural looking accent lashes for wearing to work/less dramatic days. I ran to CVS and grabbed these on sale yesterday.
I also saw Maybelline’s The Falsies mascara has a new version out! Falsies “Flared!” I’ve been using Falsies as my “non-fiber” mascara choice for over a year now. It comes off easily with makeup remover (I can only use waterproof mascaras) on days I don’t want to deal with strict fiber formulas. I think last November they came out with “Black Drama” version that I bought and loved too. My current tube actually went empty about a month+ ago but I had SO MANY FIBER mascaras at the time I felt guilty buying a replacement tube. But now my Dolly Wink long version is almost out and so is my Beauty Tubes Double Extend mascara.
Big difference is the wand. 
It’s much more voluminous/fat and flexible. I took a quick side by side of the old wand & new wand both on their sides. The original looks like a stick but if you’ve used it you know it’s like this crescent moon shape.
Snap taken when I got home from work today because I tried the new “flared” mascara this morning 
No fake lashes, just mascara 
It doesn’t perform miracles but I’ve always been happy with it. 
I only did one coat today. Usually I do 2 but I didn’t feel like wearing heavy makeup today.
I don’t think I posted about my necklace yet, but I finally bought a new chain for my gold cat charm! The chain is gold-dipped silver Cheaper but still nicer than the $1.50 star necklace I wore 24/7 from Forever21. The gold “wore off” so I had to throw it out. Now I wear this necklace almost every day! 
Tutuanna Sock Surprise
A surprise package from my friend containing socks from Tutuanna among other things! The stamps are Hello Kitty. I often wonder if my post office would let me do this?? I have a feeling they wouldn’t be crazy about doing $20 postage in all stamps but I’ve also never asked. 
I’ve never seen this particular Tokyo guide before but seeing as it’s issue 12 and it’s bi-monthly I’m guessing it’s been in production for about 2 years now. It’s pretty good too! It even lists beauty items like Qtto pressure socks, majorca majolica mascara, and spicy firming gels.
You can view it online too! At Good Luck Trip here.
The Tutuanna socks are really sweet in style with ribbons and sheer with pink polka dots. 
It’s getting cooler again so I should be able to wear them soon. Really love the sheer polka dot version. The ribbon tie ones feel more autumn to me so I’ve been thinking about pairing them with autumn outfits. I like how they’ll add sweetness to a look but I also don’t want to overplay the cuteness so am thinking of ways to wear them with simple looks so they become more of a key detail rather than getting lost in an over-cute-over-kill look. Pardon the ramble. I just had a Starbucks!
Also included was this PA nail deco kit with polish, stickers, jewels, and glitter powders. I’ve never used the glitter powders before. I feel I should give myself a nice pedi with these. I just repainted my nails and finally changed from jade to red. But I’ll probably go back to jade in a week!
OK and that was all the photos I had piling up this week! Not a whole lot but it’s nice to post them and be back to a clean slate.
