White Lid Autumn Eyes! Chillin' out!

Today I had to go to UNIQLO with my sister, Haruka, to get some for Fall, I did this look for that.

3 kinds of brown eyeshadow on the crease and put only white on the lid. And to highlight eyes, Nude color lips and not loud cloth are wanted (nude or camel also better)!
This makeup doesn't really take you much time and so easy that you'd like it for this season.



Please keep reading<3

*After applying any eyeshadow base you have, take Champagne by NYX on the pencil brush and go into the crease. Place this around the inner corner of your crease.

*On the same brush, take L'OREAL dark gold beige e/s under ivory color on the pallet. Apply this onto the middle of your crease and blend out well for next color.





*Apply reddish light brown to the outer corner of the crease. Use wide fluffy brush (clean one) to fix harsh line if there is.
Also apply this under lower lash line. Intensify it especially the outer corner of your eyes. This fades out near the inner corner.

*Line right above the upper lash line with white pencil by VIVO.





*Take pearl brown also by VIVO to line both above the white line and underneath lower lash line.

*Smudge the brown with the angle brush. Under lower lash line, make sure to make it look dark and blend it up with reddish brown applied earlier.

*Add mascara. I would recommend you to use Long gel mascara by KATE. Since it is totally gel, liquid type, it NEVER makes any clump on your lashes. Lash comb is very fine and lengthens your lash so well! So even if you applied it too much, you wouldn't get any mass :D
Place the lash comb slantingly and move it outward so that your eyelashes at the outer corner look even longer as if you are wearing fake ones.

Look I didn't get any clump on my eyelashes from mascara even though I applied it a lot to make it longer.
I don't think I'd use any other mascara than this anymore!








*Take Barely there e/s by NYX and the wide fluffy brush to put on brow bones and the inner corner.
and You're done!

Japanese Hot Dinner-Takoyaki!

Last night, we made Yakoyaki by ourselves for dinner! Takoyaki s a popular Japanese dumpling made of batter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, ponzu, mayonnaise, green laver (aonori), and katsuobushi (fish shavings). (By http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takoyaki)
Ta-da! This is Takoyaki. Looks yummy, huh? ;) They really are delicious! Sauce and mayonnaise on.
Mmm <3 These pictures make me hungry again lol.
My mom pouring dumpling paste into the Takoyaki pan.
It's supposed to be octopus but we also used shrimp. And add more vegetables.
After a couple of minutes, turn all of these over with some thin sticks.








It looks like this.
Yayay yaayy<3 Oagh!! Yum... wait another a few minutes... :9 mmm..









Dane!! We mainly had them with Dashi (a fish broth) but sauce and mayonnaise one was for sure great! (At the top of this page)

Amazing Present from My Guy, Jan!

As his vacation started in Tokyo on 16th Sep, Jan, my boyfriend, gave me such a wonderful gift from Frankfurt.


Oh my godddd!!!!!!! ..........
This totally got me speechless for a while because it says HOT DIAMOND!!!!
I screamed and kept asking him "ARE YOU SUREEEEEE????????" lol



Yes, this is very very very first diamond in my life!
And it's in a tiny cute box made of wood.
He's been giving me so many things as surprise present, including tickets for Germany. But this time was so insane! xD I thought this is an ultimate one O////O*
To be honest, these things sometimes make me wonder what I AM giving him. I know it's not a present or stuff that he wants or would be happy with if he got. But presenting is also important/significant item to show her/his feeling to the other. And right now I don't have work that I get paid from..so I always end up making him paying for every meal at a restaurant. ....It's like I'm totally depending on him. Am I wrong?

He loves me and so do I.
But I haven't done anything yet for him. I just feel this. It's getting hard for me to take his present lately because of it. Is this ok thing? or What should I do??

Japanese Dish for dinner-Eggplant in Perilla Sauce

Eggplant in Perilla Sauce is one of my favorite dish that my mother makes. I am sure you all would like it once you taste it.. :) Though my bf who is German tried it for the first time, he liked it!
This is so easy to cook that you can try it right nowwww. Here's the recipe..

♥Ingredients
 ♥ 6 eggplants 1/2 cut (3 for 1 serving)
1/2 cup of Japanese White Soup Stock
1/4-1/3 cup of Green Perilla dressing.
1/3 cup of water to dilute
Salad oil to fry eggplant

♥Method
♥Heat salad oil in a deep pot on high heat. Put 5 or 6 eggplants at once into the pot until softened and repeat this for all eggplants. Bring them out of pot and put them on kitchen paper to let the excess oil soak in the paper for seconds.
Prepare pure perilla dressing and Japanese white soup stock to mix up. It comes to taste very thick and strong so pour some water in order to dilute this soup. But make sure to keep them strong taste for eggplants.
Put eggplants into this soup right after putting them on kitchen paper. Leave them in the soup. Continue all these steps: fry, put them on kitchen paper, and soak them in the soup. 
Ta-da! You're done. Serve immediately. Either put 3 of them on a small dish or 1 big dish all together. Please try this out.

The day I become more girl!!

Today was the day I become more girl!! With Can-Be-Boyish Look with Feminine Eyes (http://meggyupmode.blogspot.com/2010/09/can-be-boyish-look-with-feminine-eyes.html), I used Honey Pump Gloss Neo by Majolica Majorca.

MAJOLICA MAJORCA usually has good products that bring out girls' original beauty, femininity like the tender mellow atmosphere women have, and make her look kissable. Check their website.. :)
http://www.shiseido.co.jp/mj/index.html
For eyeshadow, I did Can-Be-Boyish Look with Feminine Eyes (5 posts before).After finishing eyes, put concealer which is for both on skin and on lips by PALGANTONG.
*Apply the middle color onto your lips thinly with your finger. Adjust the color to your skin tone with foundation puff or other fluffy sponge.

*Ok, then take Honey Pump Gloss Neo PK143 all over the lips. Apply it a bit more at the bottom of your lower lip, which is gonna look the gel can drop off xD.

*And then apply any kind of Pink rose color on your cheek.
This look would make "him" wanna hug you♥♥♥♥♥

Nordic/Winter Makeup #1

As you know, every one's crazy about Nordic, Military, Leopard, Good Girl this Fall and Winter. Then I did makeup that would be matching this season. This is the first one, which means I'll do more later.
Cold eyes suit Winter..
Since Khaki's been also in fashion, I'm wearing a khaki gillet.

♥Nordic♥
What is called "Snow girl" has been in trend in the world right now. Typical warm look cloth such as knit and fur is layered. Add unique accessories like trekking shoes and leg warmer to go mountain girl!
For town use, mannish items are useful. Black Taylor jacket, short pants, and knee/thigh high boots would be cool with Nordic items.
We need to be careful not to go dowdy/unsophisticated look from too much Nordic items.

As for this makeup, it's super easy! I was just arranging some colors and they were getting like Winter look :D Please read this through!







*As always, apply any eyeshadow base you have and take shimmery white by BYS on the pencil brush. You can substitute "Gesso" by MAC.
Apply into the crease til it gets white white..






*Take gray by REVLON on the same brush to apply on the both side of the lid. Keep the middle of your lid off any color for now. (Sorry, in this right pic it looks all silver on my lid )Substitute "Idol Eyes" by MAC.
 

*Go Metallics pallet by BYS for Blue. Substitute "Fresh Water" by MAC. Dab it on the middle of the lid until it gets colored well.

*Take ash dark blue by KATE and place it over the other blue. It strengthens blues so well!












*Apply the gray e/s by REVLON on the both side of lower lashline keeping the center off for blue.
*Fill in the waterline with black eyeliner you have and add mascara. Now you're done!

Thanks so much for reading til the end!

Rihanna in "Love The Way You Lie" inspired look

Once I saw the video-Eminem ft. Rihanna "Love The Way You Lie"- it caught my eyes and made me wanna do her look right away.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U
And as far as I see in the clip, she doesn't have color gradation on her lids and I thought super high level makeup technique which I really don't have yet may not be needed. I do wish I had even similar color eyeshadow that she's on..but I made it creating very close one though lightning can change its real look.

Main color is going to be dark purple with some gold bronze shimmer on the middle of the crease.
Every time I do makeup, I always end up wishing if I were a Caucasian girl so bad haha I've been always wondering why I'm not one since I was 13 or 14 lol

Anyhow this is what I've done! :D
This time I wrote substitution by MAC in case you don't have products I used.
If you're interested in how I did this, please keep reading it! Hope I don't bore you.
Let's go tutorial <3

*After applying any eyeshadow base you have, take dark gray brown by KATE on the flat brush. You can substitute "Club" by MAC if you have. Apply this all over your crease to shape oval. Due to lightning this looks like shiny black but it's grayish brown with shimmer.

*Go to metallic ash purple by BYS on the same brush. You can substitute "Seedy Pearl" by MAC. Put this on the same place where you applied 1st color dabbing it. This really makes the similar look that Rihanna has on the video!








If you want to make it more purple, add shiny violet by BYS. Or substitute "Shock-a-holic" by MAC. Please be careful as you place it because it's very pigmented, which changes the look from what Rihanna wears.

*Add lashes and fix the look by using black liquid e/l by FASIO. Like I said in last posts, make it as thin as possible.

*Take an angle brush with  black e/s by BYS (Any black e/s works). Apply to the outer corner of the lid and smudge the black line and blend it out.

*For lower lash lines, apply again the metallic ash purple underneath waterline. And around the outer corner, put the black one above on the end of purple.
*Pat gold bronze e/s by KATE on the center of the crease. Substitute "Gorgeous Gold" by MAC.


*Take light beige on the fluffy brush to apply on the brow bone and the inner corner as a highlight. Substitute "Vanilla" by MAC.
*Add black mascara and fill in waterlines with black e/l by FASIO.
You're done! It's easy, isn't it?

Thanks so much for reading this!
