whew, it's been busy!

In frivolous news, my long-lost (8 years or so) order of Nubar polishes was found!  I now have a bounty of pale nail polish colors - so many that I need to give a lot away, as they overlap unecessarily.

I also bought a bright coral mini nail polish from Ettusais's yearly summer LE collection of mini polishes.  The formula is average, but it's a great way to get polishes to satisfy random polish cravings at ridiculously inexpensive prices (252 yen incl. tax).

I need to edit my polish collection again, as it's overflowing my little nail polish makeup tote.

In general, I need to edit my wardrobe too, and clear out the various documents cluttering up my place.  I should invite friends to come over and help me be disciplined.
Time for a belated spring cleaning.  I'll get started tonight.

macaron sweets at Family Mart

2 for 200 yen; vanilla and strawberry flavors.  I scarfed them down so I haven't a picture to share with you, but I can tell you that they were pretty good!  Just the chewy, crunchy texture that I like.

busy busy

Wow, time is just flying by!  I forgot my phone today.  It's kind of free-ing, but a little worrisome.

Hope everyone is doing well.  My efforts to improve my posture are only half successful.

makeup otaku

Via rougedeluxe.blogspot.com, I came across naotokimu's post on the Jill Stuart Patisserie Collection.

His post is cute and hilarious!  A true makeup otaku.

It makes me wanna buy the upcoming fig tart mix blush compact, although the berry tiramisu looks cute too :P

posture

Corsets are a funny thing - pretty much worn only once or twice in a lifetime these days.

Went for another fitting today; I think I need to lose about 500g in order for the dress to fit better.  Otherwise they'll let it out a bit.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to try a rice porridge/Japanese konyaku diet.  And start walking, etc.

In beauty news, I'm trying out a Tony Moly Floria Nutra-Energy Mask Sheet - I quite like it; a light clean scent, moisturizing but not overly sticky.  We'll see how my skin likes it, but so far so good.  It's been a while since I pampered my skin with a face mask.  Far too long.

100 yen shops

I love the fact that I can get a USB charger for my phone for a mere 100 yen.
