Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner - Brown, Review! ♥

Konnichiwa Minna-san! I've got an amazing product to review today, the Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner. I got this from EBay but it was originally imported from Japan, i've heard so many good things about this eyeliner so I really wanted to try it out and review it for you guys! 

The packaging for this is super cute! It's also far easier to open than a lot of Western make-up, no need for scissors. The eyeliner itself is a felt tip liner with an extremely narrow tip, for me i'm personally not a fan of felt tip liners but this one works perfectly to create a sharp line.  


I love this brown shade! It's the exact shade that all brown eyeliners should be, not the weird brown/black combination that they usually are... The formula for this liner is really watery which some people may hate, especially if you prefer gel liners. However I find it really easy to work with and extremely pigmented for a low cost product.


I wore this eyeliner for 12-14 hours a few days ago, this includes going to work and going out later that night. The result was that the liner barely budged throughout the day and definitely didn't smudge.

Overall i'm thoroughly impressed with this, the quality plus the price make for a fantastic product within budget. Even though Dolly Wink is a Japanese brand it can be found easily on EBay and Yesstyle, I would try to aim for EBay though since the postage would be cheaper. 


Thank you very much for reading my review and I hope you stick around for more in the future

Glasgow MCM Comicon 2015 Haul! ♥

Konnichiwa Minna-san!~ Today I have my Comicon Haul for you. Last week was the annual Glasgow MCM Comicon and aside from cosplaying and taking hundreds of pictures for Otakuography, I was looking at all the stalls to see what cute products I could buy 


This is the overall picture of my haul! It's definitely not as big as the previous two years, but I was so busy with taking photographs that buying things only happened when something really caught my eye.


My favourite item from Comicon is definitely my little Oshawott ♥ He's so adorable! My fiance bought him for me when I was getting some air and I was so happy and shocked! Look at his wee face ♥ This was an officially licensed Pokemon product and I believe he was £15, but i'm unsure of which stall was selling him.


While we were walking around CEX who had a massive DVD/Game stand in the center of the hall, were handing out cute little CEX chocolates that taste identical to a Terry's Chocolate Orange. Not brilliant for me, but my fiance loved them!


My favourite purchase of the day is two new Uta no Prince-sama Biscuit Charms!♥ Omg they're the cutest little things in the world... I'm literally obsessed. I have Ranmaru, Masato and Ren all attached to my phone and they look so adorable, they're good quality and a completely licensed product from SAOTOME GAUKEN ♥ They were £4 each from the Japan Centre stall.


This is a super cool Panda Cone from Glico and it's the Giant Caplico Panda - Cookies & Cream flavour. The texture of this is weird and interesting, it's supposed to imitate a ice cream but with chocolate instead of the ice cream ♥. The chocolate is smooth and bubbly kind of like an Aero bar and for me it tastes like a crushed Oreo. This was from the Japan Centre and I think it was £1.50!


These are from the brand Kabaya and they are Pastel Chocolate Cone snacks from the Japan Centre. I'm not overly fond of these sweets, mostly due to the bad quality of chocolate. However most children will like these since the are fun with cure designs, the little pastel marble is a crunchy little biscuit which is quite a fun texture with the chocolate. These were £2.00 and to be honest i'll probably not buy them again, they are very plain and a little cheap tasting. 


These two are basically the same product from the Japan Centre and i had no idea until I got home ♥! These are also by Kabaya. The first is a small packet of chocolate panda biscuits, the white kind of tastes like milk but i'm not 100% sure. The box of pandas are pretty different to the first packet to be honest, as they have a caramel flavouring to them. However I think they taste like a Yankee Candle or something! They're not terrible just a little fragrant ♥ The small packet was 50p and the box was £1.00 from the Japan Centre!


NOM NOM NOM! ♥ I have bought these at every convention for three years, I absolutely love Match Pocky! They taste slightly herbal because of the matcha but mostly they just taste rich and creamy, amazingly addictive. These were bought from the Japan Centre for £2.00 


This is the cutest little wafer/biscuit panda i've every seen! ♥ It tastes like a Blue Riband to me (British biscuit) but the description on the Japan Centre website says it is a milk & white chocolate flavoured wafer. Either way I think it tastes fantastic and I think it was 50p from the Japan Centre stall on the last day of the convention!



This was the weirdest tasting thing of the day... WOW what a flavour! I've bought this Sangaria soft drink before but in the Melon Soda flavour, this is Grape and oh my god does it taste amazing. I would definitely not recommend you to drink it daily (so much sugar) but it needs to be tried at least once. The flavour is traditional artificial grape but the drink almost has a sherbet flavour/texture, it's so tangy and amazing. Highly recommended! This was again bought from the Japan Centre for £2.00.

Hyper Japan & London 2015 Haul! ♥

Konnichiwa Minna-san! I have a very special post to share with you all today, and that is my Hyper Japan & London Haul! 

Last weekend me. my fiancé and our two friends went on a trip all the way down to London for the Hyper Japan convention, which was totally amazing! ♥ So i'm going to start off with the items I bought at Hyper Japan, and then move onto things I bought when I was exploring London !x


Kpop is a complete obsession for me, and as many of you may know I am a STARLIGHT ♥. I adore VIXX with all my heart so I made a few sneaky purchases at the Kpop stall, starting with this dust plug for my phone. It's very simple and made from acrylic but I don't have any VIXX charms hanging from my phone yet, so for me it was a must! ♥ I believe I paid £4 for this, but i'm not too sure.


My second VIXX purchase was these adorable stickers!! ♥ I'm a complete sucker for Kpop stationary, and this was no exception. It has all of the members on little stamps with some quotes beneath some of the pictures, it's far too cute xxx! I paid £5 for these but i've seen them a lot more expensive online.


I LOVE THIS KEYRING ♥ It's everything I want and more... Every member has a full picture of themselves when they were promoting Error and also a group picture as well. UGH! it's just sheer perfection, I know that most of these items are not official and are fan made, but it's so hard to find VIXX products in the UK for a decent price. This keyring was £4


My favourite anime of all time is Uta no Prince-sama ♥! I know that's a little strange and random but it's just so heart warming, light and relaxing. So to go with my other Utapri items (music box, DVD collection, phone charms, keyrings), I thought I would buy a few more things. Starting with Masato on the left! I have nothing with Masa at all and I think he is such a great character in the anime, so I just had to have a little version of him on my keys! ♥ He was £5 I believe.

I got the most adorable little Syo! Look at his little cute face ♥ xxx He's supposed to be a keyring the same as Masa, but i'm a little scared to use him like that because of the ball/chain that's used, i'm scared it'll break. He has a tiny little body and a big bobble head attached with a link, which I think is so sweet! He was £7 from a random stall which I can't remember.


And finally I bought another Ren... ♥ I know I know, obsessed much? But how could you not buy him on a biscuit! It's adorable and such high quality, so I think i'll be keeping him on my phone case along with his other version. He was £6 from the Japan Centre stall. 


I actually didn't buy this G-Dragon bracelet! it was from the Kpop stand but my friend who is a huge fan of G-Dragon and Big Bang bought a pack of these and kindly gave me one !♥ I have no idea how much these are or where else you can buy them, but it's so cute and will even fit on my tiny wrist. 




Moving on to other London purchases! This was a present from my wonderful fiancé when we visited Camden Market on our second day in London. We found this adorable little stall that sold like 40 Alpacasso's, it was so cute, but this little bag caught my eye immediately. I've seen these on various Storenvy shops at ridiculous prices, but this little gem was only £10! xxx! Thank you sweetie for the amazing present 



This was probably my best purchase at the market. I bought this little bag to carry my digital camera around my neck more easily, and also because I spotted the Rilkkuma lanyard so I was sold... Well that's until I saw the price, £1 !!! I could not believe it, I should've bought a few but oh well...  



We went to the Japan Centre in Piccadilly Circus, which was a fantastic experience! There was so much food and so many different varieties of sweets and drinks. I spotted a Ramune a mile away when I was looking in the cooler cabinets and I had to buy the Pokemon edition, i've hand the drink so many times but this one was just all kinds of special! ♥ It was £1.40, and they have an online website which delivers so I will link that at the end of this post for you! xxx




My final purchase of my holiday was again found in Camden Market, there was the most adorable little Japanese/Korean clothing stall somewhere in the heart of the market and I was totally drawn to it. The man had such cute items for sale at low prices so I just had to buy something. I eventually settled on this heavy, silk and lace white dress, it has amazing floral detail all over the body and skirt which I love. The lace overlay also extends past the underskirt which gives a princess effect which I like a lot. This was such a bargain at £8! I almost couldn't believe it xxx 

I would highly recommend going to see Camden Market, and I would definitely say that you should try and go to Hyper Japan at some point! it's so much fun and I got to meet so many nice people!

Cutesy Kink Product Review #1 - Loppy Bunny Shoulder Bag in Pink


Konbanwa Minna-san! I'm sorry I've been on hiatus but now I am back and ready to go!! This weekend I will be attending HYPER JAPAN in London and I am super excited. To go on this trip I wanted to buy a bag I have been crushing on for months, and that is the Loppy Bunny back from Cutesy Kink


Oh My God... ♥ It's so cute!!! This item is basically half bag/half plush toy, which is absolutely amazing. The material is soft and fluffy, kind of like a child's blanket and the quality is actually very impressive with only a few loose threads that could easily be cut. 


The majority of this bag is the plush bunny face at the front, and there is a medium sized pouch at the back to put all your things. I can fit absolutely everything in here that was in my previous shoulder bag, which was actually a lot of things, so for me this bag was perfect and I didn't need to lose any items to make everything fit. 

The zip and bag straps are of medium quality, I feel like they could break if you weren't careful. However this is unlikely if you look after your things. 

I received my bag after 3-4 days by courier and I was also very impressed by the packaging as it kept my product safe.


Overall I think I made a wise investment with this bag and I hope it goes down well at HYPER JAPAN because i'm totally in love with it! I will leave the link below to where you can find it on Cutesy Kink's website, they're fantastic and I highly recommend buying from them based off of their customer service, product quality and prices  




Thank you very much for reading my review and I hope you stick around for more in the future

Gothic Lolita Make Up Look Transformation! ♥

Konbanwa Minna-san! Today is a really short blog post about Gothic Lolita Make-up and I hope you all enjoy it, I really stepped out of my comfort zone for this look since i'm not very good with dark make-up looks. All links to the products I used will be below 


I finally put my Lolita wig to proper use. I bought this from Ebay and posted a review a while ago since I was so pleased. The blouse is from Yesstyle, I bought this around a year and a half ago so i'm unsure if it's still in stock. I'll find one similar and put the link below if anyone is interested. My Circle lenses are from a dear friend of mine Pastel Dreams Shoes and Accessories and they are Naty Swan - Pink ♥ 


For my eye make-up I done a basic smokey eye with a red-ish burgundy shade and a deep black to give more depth and edgy to my make-up, using the Like Angels palette from Make-Up Revolution & Urban Decay's Naked Basics Palette. I layered a brighter metallic red on top of the burgundy to really make the lid colour pop. The eyeliner I used is Urban Decay's Ink for Eyes and it has been very winged out to create a dramatic cat eye, i've also formed a point in the inner corner to bring the whole look together. After this I lined my water line with a black eyeliner from MUA, added mascara from Rimmel and my accent lashes with beading from Bourjois 

For my face make-up I used Skin 79 Diamond Prestige BB Cream with L'Oreal's Studio Secrets Primer beneath it for a smooth finish. Since the make-up was pretty heavy under my eye I decided against concealer. My highlight is from MUA and it's the shade Gold and my blush is from Estee Lauder in Pink Ingenue  


Finally my lip colour is Black Metal Dahlia from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, the inner corners have been shaded in with my MUA black eyeliner to give them more definition 

Thank you very much for reading my tutorial and I hope you stick around for more in the future

Yesstyle Haul & Review #3 - The Denim Skort!

Konnichiwa Minna-san! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ I am back with a new tiny haul and review for Yesstyle.co.uk!


Today I will be reviewing a denim skort which I bought from a brand within Yesstyle, called DABAGIRL, which is a South Korean brand. I have seen their clothing many times throughout my buying history with Yesstyle, but i've never actually purchased anything since they are a little on the expensive side.

However, I put that a side so that I could get the skort of my dreams!! I have been after a denim skort for a few months because I think it'll be amazing for summer (▰˘◡˘▰)... A skort is basically a skirt with shorts attached, and is perfect for girls who aren't very confident in wearing skirts on their own. 


As I imagined, it is completely amazing, and everything I wanted. It looks like a super short mini skirt but you have the added safety of the shorts underneath (in case of any strong breezes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
The fabric is well made and is very soft denim, with a slight stretch to it. I got the size Small, and I am usually a size 6, but this fits me perfectly despite having a slightly larger bum that most girls my size! I would definitely recommend checking the measurements first, otherwise you could have a disaster. 


Thank you for reading my Yesstyle review! if you have any comments or questions then feel free to ask in the section below ヾ(〃^∇^)ノ...

Yesstyle.co.uk Haul! #2 (♥‿♥)

Konnichiwa Minna-san! I've been away for a while and now I have returned with a HAAUUL! Yay. This is my second Yesstyle.co.uk haul I believe and I have been so excited to get this package, so lets get on with it (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧


The first item I bought was this t-shirt, this is unusually plain and monochrome for me but I absolutely adore it! 


On my size 6 frame the top is a little oversized which i'm totally fine with and the quality is amazing for such a cheap product. It's simple, chic and fantastic for summer.



My second item is another top that I have been CRAVING for, this has at least been a 6 month hunt for a top like this. Now that I have it i'm completely and utterly in love, this is the most beautifully fitted and flattering top i've ever worn... 



The material is ribbed with a cut out just above the chest, the fabric is also super soft and easy on the skin. I highly recommend this top, it is of such high quality and it's so easy to wear. 


I have bought these adorable mittens before but in a beige and dark brown colour, they are amazingly warm and convenient since you can still use your phone while wearing them 
(priorities right? O(≧▽≦)O).


Overall I love wearing these purely because of how big and cute they are. They are definitely a must have for any cuties in the Winter months, however I bought them recently because I believe they will double in price later on in the year. They also come in around 4 or 5 colours.



I love fashion glasses of all shapes and sizes, however I have never been able to find gold round glasses anywhere! Luckily... here they are (=∩_∩=)フ xxx



They are wonderfully made using high quality materials, which is a lovely surprise. They feel sturdy enough to not break if they fall or are put in your bag etc, which is always a plus. I love these, they are genuinely the best glasses I have ever bought, both in quality and in style.

Thank you Minna-san, I hope you enjoyed my Yesstyle.co,uk haul, all of my items came in perfect condition with no defects and they were all exactly as shown on the website as well.
