Majolica Majorca All Night Compact (78) 
I’m feeling pretty great still! Though at night I could really use a humidifier. I’ve had 2 in the past but they both broke so I’m a bit gun-shy about picking up another, but I probably should. Unfortunately Mike has relapsed. He had the same flu, just before me. Then today at work I found out A LOT of people have had the same virus I had!! It’s a really nasty one! Took them days & days to recover too 
Hopefully he’ll feel up to going out Saturday. We agreed no more night travels (too rough on the system.) Went out last night to finally go pick up magazines and grab a quick dinner. The snow has kept me from getting out there in some time. Though I’m really missing Pinky. 
I got Ageha, Popteen, and SCawaii. I really need something non-gal related but nothing appeals to me enough. I know if I buy Vivi I’ll barely flip through it. Wasteful. I still need to find my Pinky replacement I guess. When PopSister comes out it’ll be a bit different, but not by much, LOL. We’ll see~ everything seems too OL, mote-kei, or rock for me right now~ 
I wanted to talk about some makeup I recently got with my Yesstyle order! I finally got my hands on the Majolica Majorca All Night Compact! It’s nice! 
It can be used as a highlighter to match up with my blush! I’ve been looking for something like the Candy Doll Highlighter powder. I haven’t found much in makeup stores. Most highlighters are golden and liquid it seems. But this (though I know, it’s a Japanese brand too) works pretty well! It’s like a semi-translucent, pink powder that’s a bit shimmery but not too much! Not to mention the case is gorgeous. Majolica Majorca stuff always is. 
I just put it on my cheeks. I don’t put highlighter on my nose EVER because I’ve got a big, more than noticeable nose as it is, LOL, so skip that make step if you’re following Japanese magazine tutorials & you don’t have a cute button nose. 
Tori had sent some shimmering powder for Valentine’s Day. It’s white and looked like maybe that could be used as a highlighter. However it’s too glittery for a highlighter. BUT, I have to say it’s the best damn glitter powder I’ve ever tried! 
Some shimmering powders are too subtle, you know? When you want something really fun! But others are TOO glittery with giant glitter chunks hanging off your face. This is seriously a “twinkling” powder~! Enough to notice you’re sparkling but not overkill like you’re going to a rave!
OK~ now I leave you with a camwhoring balloon-loving pic! 
Taken last night. GOD I LOVE BALLOON! LOL
It felt good to get dressed for myself after weeks or either being stuck indoors, or only going to work and back which is not dressing for “myself.” I think camwhoring serves a greater good for girls’ self-esteem. I think it’s often seen as a vain thing, but I think it can really boost a person’s confidence in themselves! I’m being serious! 
I think there’s this confusing mantra where we want every woman to feel pretty but not express it openly because that’s tasteless vanity? Hummmm~ food for thought~ 
I wish more girls would post even more photos of themselves. 
It’s a nice way to connect with the blogger too~~!! 
I always like seeing a lot of pics though. Maybe I’m biased, haahaa!

No Wig, No Life (99)
A few weeks ago I posted this video~~ It’s about how the use of “fashion wigs” has gone up 207% in 2009! They got many girls to remove their wigs in public. They also did a comparison in the amount of time it took to get one’s hair ready. As you can see below the full wig took 4 minutes while curling ones hair took 31 minutes!

*sorry, embedding was disabled*
Seriously!? Wigs are a freakin’ time-saver!? I never thought of it that way! 
And I started thinking, what if I really did buy a wig? For fun!? For cam whoring? For actually wearing??!!! For putting on 7am on Saturday morning when Mike wants to “do a Starbucks run” that morphs into us being out for hours on end at stores and cafes~~!! Because that happens A LOT. At night too. When I think we’re not going out and I remove all my make and my hair is crap we suddenly decide to do random date night and I end up going out looking like a soccer mom. To at least have perfect hair would be AMAZING~! 
I feel bad too because I think the wig kinda looks better
Many girls choose for the wig-parts instead. Like clip-in extensions or hair bun pieces. This girl is using hair bun piece, but I love how HUGE of a fan her friend must be of Wakatsuki Chinatsu! She even looks like her with the full nude make going on & decked out in W
C! Hahahah, すごい～～～ so cute!
Under the “read more” there are a lot of photos (50+) so beware if you’re on your phone or something~~

My Style Muses (57)
As much as I love fashion magazines, when it comes to the models that actually “inspire” me I look more at their blogs for looks rather than what they’re wearing in a photo shoot. I’m just more interested in what THEY choose to wear out!! Some models really do stick to their magazine’s style, but some tend to gravitate towards a more relaxed version of what you’d see them wearing in magazines. Or maybe they prefer one style more often than you’d guess from the magazine spreads. I’m rambling. 
Anyway~ 
I wanted to do a picture post! Mostly of Popteen models but some others thrown in. Of girls daily wear outfits and not magazine photoshoots! 
Also, for the model blogs I follow DAILY you can find the links in my LINKS SECTION.
Before I post model pictures, these are from the SNAP BOMBER section of Popteen. I scanned these in last week before I got sick, haahaa! Just gals’ outfits that were submitted. Usually they’re super tiny photos on the bottom of the page. I find these SO inspiring because they’re everyday girls rocking the styles and it seems attainable seeing these girls pull it off! It’s one of my favorite sections of Popteen. I want to start scanning these in more often and sharing them~
