黒と金の開かない鍵

Hey Y'all

I've been drowning myself in otome games. My favorite one this past week is

黒と金の開かない鍵
kuro to kin no akanai kagi



Here's the PV introduction to the game


http://little-cheese.jp/black-gold/


The story revolves around the heroin Kanade Katagiri who you will be playing. She is a hikikomori and never leaves her room. one day she convinced herself with the help of a certain weird onnichan to leave the room and get a haircut and the story goes from there. Kanade meets 4 different men (including the brother, i love anime incest!) and there's where the game diverses into the 4 different routes with the different male leads.

*hikikomori* one who locks themselves away from society. sometimes to extreme degree of isolation


Kanade Katagiri
(after her transformation from a hikikomori to a cutie)



The Male Characters


Sonomura Ikuto (the brother)
the annoying little brother that was Kanade's caretaker while she was a hikikomori
*spoiler* the bad ending route can be a little hard to take for some.






Konno Chihiro (the teacher)
the fierce scary teacher that had a adorable side.
and the MEGANE character in the game!
I cant say no to megane~~~~




Sudou Yukio (the former classmate)
Kanade's classmate from her previous school who she had a crush on. she met him again after she had her transformation and he hit on her while she was on her way home.
i love his character, i think he's soo cute but a little boring.




Hasui Toomomi (the hairstylist)
The creepy hairstylist that cut her hair against her will but turned her life around.
He's the stylish one of the bunch and the one with the soft sweet personality aka the gentlemen.
but if you take the bad ending route, things get pretty ugly.





Those who dare venture this game, beware it comes with a certain disclaimer.
This game is 18+ adult with bad ending routes as well as a strong theme of Yandere with the boys.
But overall i enjoyed the game, i have yet to finish all routes yet but i'm getting there.

*Yandere* :A fictional character who fits the contrasting archetype of being loving and gentle and able to suddenly switch to brutal, psychotropic or deranged behavior.




Everyone should starting playing otome games! it helps with your Japanese language and it gives you the satisfaction of having a 2D boyfriend! *melts*

Product Review

Recently, i've started using products from this skincare line "B.LIV".
I was super excited when i recieved the package from them.
Its my first time using their products and i'm always pump to try out new skincare products.

I've been suffering from terrible acne outbreaks lately,
probably because of the weather and the old hormones going crazy.

So i got 4 products that were specifically for blemish/acne prone skin.

.

.

.

SPOTS GOT SHOT

Price: USD 25
Size: 15ml

Main function: blemish & Spot therapy + Oil Control

Description: Spots Got Shot diminishes blemishes from your face, and soothes your aggravated skin to ensure marks leave without a trace. It soaks up excess sebum, to prevent future problems, and removes dead skin cells, to leave you looking vibrant and well.

Review: When i recieved the products, i took a liking to the fact that it dispenses through a nozzle tip and that's a germ free way to use the product without having my fingers dig around the product.

The product didn't cause any skin irrations and felt very light on my skin. which is something
very important to all girls to use products that are light and easy on the skin.
It has a slight rubbery medicated scent to it which i'm not complaining about since its a blemich spot serum.

The product works very well when the acne/pimple isn't big and scary. It works well
when its a clogged pore or a small acne. It cleared up the acne, and after 2days the redness was gone.

Rating: 3/5

.

.

NO SPOTS BYE DOTS

Price: USD 32
Size: 130ml

Main function: Cleansing + exfoliating + blemish preventing

Description: No Spots, Bye Dots deep-cleanses blemish-prone skin, by exfoliating unhealthy dead cell layers and revealing the pristine ones within. It helps flush out bacteria and lays down a protective layer, so that blemishes steer clear of your face forever.

Review: The product get dispensed with a pump and with this product one pump is sufficient for the whole face. Once again, i want to stress on using a light product. This product is in clear gel form which means its light on the skin. It has a slight peach smell to it and i love it!
A gel cleanser is the best for preventing and assisting in curing exsisting acnes.

I've been using this for a month plus now and i'm loving it. It helped with my exsiting irrating acnes clear up which is hard to come by for a cleanser and i'm not breaking out as much as before. It isn't drying on my skin which is a big plus!

Rating: 4/5
Only downside is the price, 32USD is pretty pricey but it can be pretty long-lasting.

.

.

KICK SPOTS OUT

Price: USD32
Size: 6pcs

Main Function: blemish therapy + oil control + soothing

Description: Kick Spots Out clarifies blemish-prone skin, and eliminates irritation-causing factors to prevent future complications. It controls your oil-production to prevent shiny skin, and provides ample moisturization from within.

Review: Its a drape over mask, so its very easy to use.
Its big enough to cover any face shape i believe. The smell is a little medicated and i like that for acne masks.
The serum was definitely enough to massage in the face before or after draping over my face.

This mask is incredible on my skin, i had a really inflammed acne and a few small acnes on my face and after just 1 use, it swelled down alot and the small ones healed up. It feels very
refreshing after i washed my face after using the mask.

I'm swearing by this mask now whenever i get a breakout, loving it.

Rating: 5/5
I really do love this mask. but again, the price is steep for masks. but i still buy because it works for me.

.

.

QUENCH ME

Price: USD38
Size: 45ml

Main Functions: moisture replenishing & retaining + cell revitalizing

Description: Quench Me lavishes your face with moisturizing and cell revitalizing nutrients, which pamper your skin and supplies it with much-needed invigoration. The gel moisture-retaining properties keep hydration locked-in, and restores vitality to your tired skin - leaving you a supple, recharged and healthy complexion.

Review: This is also pump dispensing product. The smell is light but not sweet, which can be nice depending on personal preference. i like my moisturizer smelling light and slightly sweet.

One thing that i really take in mind with moisturizers is how they feel on my skin once applied.
I love it when its light and not sticky and it feels like i'm not wearing anything.
Which is especially important in the mornings when i need to put my makeup on, and i dont want to feel like i already having layers on my skin even before makeup.

This product fits my bill perfectly! Its super light and not sticky, goes into your skin almost immediately and i don't feel like i have moisturizer on.
But other than the fact that its super light and fresh on my skin, it works average as a moisturizer. does the basic work but doesn't go the extra mile.

Rate: 3/5

.

.

.Review Overall:

Products: I really enjoyed the clean and light aspect of all products, which works really well on my skin. i realized my acnes clears up faster and didnt have the burden of living with shitty acnes.

However, the only downside i can think of is the price range. they can be pretty pricey for some but on the other hand B.Liv ships worldwide for free. so no matter where you are, you dont have to pay exorbitant prices for shipping.

B.Liv believes in going green as well, which is something i definitely support. No testing on animals and to top that off i received a B.Liv recycle bag along with the products.
You can choose to take a recycle bag instead of the regular plastic packaging~ save the earth.

Lastly, B.LIV is offering free samples of Off with those heads, 3ml to the first 50 readers.

MJ chapter 26: The porcelain Doll complextion

Being a big Majolica Majorca fan, i couldnt not get
the latest Chapter 26's face products while i was in Tokyo!

I didnt think that the Chapter 26 face products would
be brought to Singapore as well~~
So now i've got 2sets of the fabulous face products !!
(i'm sharing with my mom...she keeps coming over to my room to use it i just gave her my other set)

=====================================================

Chapter 26: She was a Doll Volume 2!
Previously it was how to get that Dolly eyes with the MJ mascaras and eye shadow palette
now lets make sure we have that DOLLY PORCELAIN complexion!


Yanny pass me this adorable Majolica Majorca pouch!
I'm so loving it! Its now my new makeup pouch along with my Tokyo Disneyland's Alice in Wonderland mirror~~










SKIN LINGERIE PORE COVER
$20.90
Available in Watsons store Islandwise


Many of you guys ask me about my foundation and makeup base. well here's what i'm using!
the SKIN LINGERIE PORE COVER from Majolica Majorca.
its the reformulation and new version of the Skin Lingerie (OD control)


Why i choose this over so many other products?

Reason: I've got really bad combination skin. my T-zone area gets oily really quickly and your face just becomes unsightly shiny due to the oil.
This is why: So the SKIN LINGERIE PORE COVER has a fresh and lasting finish with Sebum Catching Powder which aids oil control.

Reason: I've got uneven skin and large pores, as with many girls. We all need a primer/makeup base to even out our skin and to hide those unsightly pores.
This is why: The SKIN LINGERIE PORE COVER evens out complextion and on top of that gives us a Porcelain-like complextion with Putty Silicon Base.


Reason: with my unholy sleeping habits, i have been struck by the gods of "dull skin".
my face looks really tired and dull without makeup.
This is why: The SKIN LINGERIE PORE COVER conceals imperfections and also gives a GLOW to skin with Bright up Pearl.

One more: SPF!
Everyone! woman or man needs to have sunscreen! The SKIN LINGERIE PORE COVER also has a SPF 20 protection!

This is a makeup primer/base that will appeal to girls with large pores, tired skin and Oily T-zone.
It really helps to conceal those ugly pores and keeps the oil at bay.






SKIN REMAKER PORE COVER
$29.50
Avaialable in Watsons store Islandwise



And here's the Foundation powder that's in my makeup pouch!
I cant say no to Majolica's foundation especially with this new SKIN REMAKER PORE COVER
its the new version of the Skin Remaker Powder Foundation.


Why i love this foundation
This foundation is soooo smooth and it sits on your skin so well.
Application is really easy because its sooo smooth.
The reason for the satin smooth and radiant skin is thanks to the Satin Powder ingredient.

Oil control component to keep that oil away~
A fresh face that lasts all day with the Sebum Catching Powder.
which in my opinion is soo crtitical for girls with oily skin.


And of course we all want the Doll like Porcelain skin!
Making sure the pores and imperfections concealed with a smooth finish, the SKIN REMAKER PORE COVER has the "imperfections correcting" ingredient Putty Silicon Powder to ensure a Doll like Porcelain Skin!


and as with the skin remaker pore cover, the SKIN REMAKER PORE COVER
also includes SPF 18 to protect our skin.


Avialable in 4 colors:
(Beige Ocre 10/ Beige Ocre 20/ Ocre 10/ Ocre 20)




SKIN REMAKER PORE COVER
Limited Edition Case
$12.90 Avaialable in Watsons store Islandwise


Majolica Majorca is out with a new Compact case!
This time is a metallic Black case~
I am in love with the metallic black! its sooo pretty!


=============================================================

I used the Skin Lingerie Pore Cover for my makeup base
and the Skin Remaker Pore cover as my foundation for the MYnT photoshoot.

Majolica Majorca Chapter 26: She Was A Doll Mascara

Majolica Majorca
Chapter 26: She Was A Doll
and this chapter introduces us to the Dolly Look



~~This chapter introduces a new mascara & mascara base~~


Lash Enamel Glamor Volume On
&
Lash Bone Black Fiber On(mascara base)


As we know MJ releases new, improved and better mascaras everytime and this time round we have a base primer and a mascara.
I was honestly excited to try this 2 mascaras because of the theme Dolly Eyes, i knew it was going to be amazing and i couldnt wait to get my hands on it and test it out.
And it didnt disappoint for sure.

Let's break it down.



Lash Enamel Glamor Volume On

Packaging:

The designs didn't stray too much, one look and you know its a Majolica Majorca mascara.
The tube is black with gold trimmings and as usual the cap is emblem in gold with MJ's logo.
All in all, the packaging is gorgeous and girls would definitely carry this mascara around.

Application:
This mascara is BLACK! i absolutely love it!!
One application is all you need for that thick black long doll-like lashes
"Amazed" is a understatement to how awesomely black this mascara is.
It surpassed all other mascaras that i've used (and trust me.. its ALOT) with a big margin.

My lashes were pretty much done and ready to go by the 1st coating.
In fact, i only needed 1 coat and i was ready to leave~!


Conditioning & Treatment:

One other great thing about this mascara is that it treats, nourishes and conditions your lash.
with its ingredients containing Vitamin E and Macadamia Ternifolia Nut Oil,
the mascara conditions your lash to have it lush and soft.

Lasting Power:
The mascara holds very well and lasts all day.
It resists sweat and tears very effectively and my mascara stayed on pretty without running at all.
So being curse with oily-skin, i'm more than pleased about the lasting power of this mascara.

Comb
The comb is double-sided for 2 different application methods and effects.

For long and thick doll lashes:
use the side with "Thin Teeth" to add volume to each individual lash perfectly. It also gives an eyeliner effect.

To Add more volume:
use the side with "Wide Teeth" for more mascara fluid to be deposited on the lashes. It also separates each and every lash perfectly. This finish is like fake lashes!


Price & Availibility:
Retail price: $25.90
major WATSONS stores islandwide

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NOTE: Available from 8th February 2010~~~~~~~~~~

_______________________________________________________________


Lash Bone Fiber On
Mascara base that coats each individual lash for maximum length, thickness, definition and density

Packaging
The tube is gold with trimmings while the cap is white.
I love this packaging, the color compliments so beautifully and its soo elegant and princess-like.
The MJ logo emblem on the top just completes this royal touch.
Very MJ~ *2thumbs up*~


Application
What i love about this base primer is the Jet-Black Fibre invented by Shiseido
what it does is it builds length, density and thickness to your lash by building length from the end of your eyelashes.

and whats best is its semi-black and the "fiber-like hair" is black so theres no need for too much mascara on top of this once you've applied this base primer mascara.

This base mascara really gives you that extra "ummpph" you need for your lash! **note: Fiber mascaras are fibres that attach to the end of your lashes and build length from the end**


Conditioning & Treatment:
Just like the Glamor On mascara, this also had nourishing and conditioning ingredients like Vit E and Macadamia Nut Oil for smooth and soft lashes.
I think its really important to always have your lashes protected and MJ covers that beautifully.


Price & Availibility:
Retail price: $24.50
major WATSONS stores islandwide

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NOTE: Available from 8th February 2010~~~~~~~~~~

_______________________________________________________________________

Here's my lashes with just 1 coating of the mascaras~
I'm so amazed by the length and density of my lashes~ Amazed is really an understatement to how much i love this mascara!!

(without flash)

(With flash)

This is the perfect combination for dramatic, long, thick doll-like lashes.
Both lashes works beautifully on its own.
But if you want those "Look at me" eyes that screams "omg! look at her, she's looks like a doll"
『ねぇ～見て！あの子人形さん見たい～～」
use both together and i sure you the guys will be falling all over you

I hope you enjoyed this review as much as i did trying on and amazing myself with these mascaras~
Go get your MJ chapter 26 mascaras from 8th February 2010

Looking for a blusher that gives the

GYARU BRONZE GLOW??



I found a budget conscious, easy application blusher that would give you exactly that!!


___________________________________________________________



I'm gonna do a Product Review today on one of the drugstore brands.
SILKYGIRL





Product: Silky Girl Blusher in 04 Honeywood

Price: $9.90

Avialable: Watsons, Guardians. (island wide singapore)

Website: http://www.silkycosmetics.com/face5.html

________________________________________________________

Overview

Color: Medium Brown orange, can be passed off as a bronzer but not overall bronzer

Matte or shimmery: its slight shimmery but its not noticeable.

Pigment level: VERY VERY pigmented.

Lasting power: Stays on all day. one application is enough to last at least 8hours

_________________________________________________________________



Super blush for budget wary shoppers!
stays on all day with only one application to last you through the whole day.

This blusher is almost the exact same shade as the model's picture above.
But, one thing to take note of is
the blusher is very pigmented and should be applied with a light hand.



Application method: Use a blush brush and pump the blusher on to your cheeks.
most probably its gonna be very harsh and heavy looking.
so buff it out and blend it nicely to give a more natural sun kissed glow.

The brush that comes with the blusher works fine but its best to apply this blush with
a bigger blush brush.
(i'm using Coastal Scents Large face paddle brush, you can watch my review here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5LUpsxcvzw)


_______________________________________________________


Overall Review.

Wonderful Drugstore Budget concsious Blusher that lasts all day and
is super pigmented which means just a little product will go a long way.

Perfect drugstore good blusher for those who wants a "dupe" or cheaper alternative to the usual MAC, NARS blushers.

Its a great blusher for those who wants to mimic that amazing glow that shibuya girls seems to have.
Just remember to pair it up with a highlighter to give your face that extra glow.

The texture is amazing on your skin, just remember to blend and buff and it'll look incredible.

Only drawback is the lack of shimmer in the blusher. would be so much better if the shimmer power was more.


Rating: ★★★★ 4 stars
Budget-friendly, long lasting, super pigmented and for the pretty brownish orange color.
