E R I K A

Went cray cray again and bought make up! I didn't buy a lot this time but I did receive tons of freebies because of first order campaign and when you reach a certain amount of purchase. I did get the Pink x Skull limited edition palette and other stuff from the line because I thought I still don't have those colors and they're limited edition so I MUST HAVE! Anyways, Here are all the stuff I got! I'm gonna do a review on the palette with the lip tint soon!

I went crazy and bought a lot from BH Cosmetics! They didn't ship to Japan before but now that they do I bought like A LOT from 'em! I bought tons for my friends rather than for me 'coz you know, SALE! They won't even know the palettes I bought 'em were so cheap 'coz it looked expensive! Lol. And I mean, the quality is amazing (Based on the ALL the reviews I've seen)! I've never thought good quality make up could be so affordable! Most of the palettes I bought were 50%-70% off. The expensive looking brush I bought were only $15.00! Tons of coupons! Shipping is not so expensive unlike Colourpop which btw, I missed their free international shipping promo so that sucked! and they have 7% cashback on ebates so I was like, 'I'm gonna spend all my birthday money on make up!' And so I did and I even bought tons for my friends aswell! This year's Christmas presents and their birthdays for the next year are covered! (I'm a cheap friend, I'm sorry! I'm poor!) Anyways, Here are all the stuff I bought which I'm going to do a review in the future~ and by future I mean tomorrow!


This came first and it took 12 days to arrive.. I bought a lot of 'Pride, Prejudice and Zombies' palette because they we're on sale for $6.50 so I bought tons for my friends! Although, I didn't get one for me 'coz I thought I already have all the colors on my other palettes and I got a free eyeliner! Shipping didn't cost me much 'coz I've been using 'VALPAK' coupon code so on my $60+ worth of purchase, I get $15 off so that almost cover the amount of shipping.

MY NEW BABY!!! OMG!!! I'm sooo HAPPY! I have the best husband ever! He bought me a Dyson for a birthday present! Because I've wanted this since it released but it was worth ¥104,544 at that time! So expensive! But they're on sale at the moment and Dyson V8 Absolute Extra dropped its price to ¥78,408. I dunno the difference between Absolute Extra and Absolute except for the color I guess? Absolute Extra has some 'extra' color (blue) to it I guess while Absolute is just plain 'ol titanium and maybe because they don't sell Absolute Extras in stores but their official site only. I decided I just wanted the Absolute because of the color but it still retails to ¥104,544 on their official site. So we 'researched' at kakaku.com and found that Yamada Denki sells these for ¥70,720 plus 5 years warranty!!! So we went to Yamada Denki yesterday and it's retailed for ¥72,800 so I asked the guy selling these, 'Should I just get this at the Yamada Denki site because it's only retailed for ¥70,720 there?' And his like, 'I'll go look into it ma'am'. He comes back and says, 'We'll give it to you for ¥70,720 plus 5 years warranty'. And I'm SOLD!!! That's a tip right there if you're here in Japan. Tell 'em you found it somewhere cheaper and then they'll sell it to you for that price and even give you points! You can actually buy stuff from points so you could save those and they don't expire. I've tried doing that at Biccamera and Yamada Denki and it works. I know, I'm cheap! I'm sorry! But if you could get it slightly cheaper, why not right?

It's nicely placed beside our washing machine but I wonder?

I've thought of placing it here 'coz it would be a lot easier to take out..

But I didn't want it to be seen when you enter the room? See it's not visible!

Anyway, I love this vacuum! This is the best purchase we've done for the year! Lol. It's perfect for our small 2 storey home! While I do think V6 is perfect for those who live in apartments. So yeah, Dyson's the best! Although there are a lot of cheaper 'dupes' for this vacuum. NOTHING BEATS DYSON! Atleast for me! Hehe..

Aaand I'm not done yet! I wanted to include what happened yesterday. Since Nitori (Japanese Home Stuff Store) is just right in front of Yamada Denki I thought I'd just drop by and get a few stuff for the house and then I saw this!

For only ¥1,990 I grabbed it instead of buying online, plus it seemed very sturdy! I dropped their tester and it didn't crack at all but when I got home and tore the plastic cover open, this is what it looked like..

'Thank you my darlings! I love you two so sooo much! Thank you Papa for everything!'

Wow! It's been a while since I've done a review! And I kinda miss it! So today, I'm gonna review what my friend bought me as a birthday present and one I've been wanting since March is this Natural Trend Gel Nail Set! It's from Rakuten and I figured since Rakuten ship internationally.. why not make a review about it so if one of you guys might be interested, you could go buy it? Here's the shop link. So yeah, here goes the review!

However, you can change the color of your LED! Although the only variations are a white and a hot pink one. They changed the LEDs included in the set 'coz I remember they used to include a 6W mini LED with a variety of colors. Now they only offer white and hot pink and they upgraded the LED from 6W to 15W. It means less waiting time for your nails to dry!

I have this on me for about a week and there may be a little chip but it still looks good! Nail polish won't even last a week on me plus the hassle of drying your nails with nail polish. I don't get that hassle from gel! The hassle of removing it though? I guess that's one of the cons of gel! Hahaha..
