Facebook page | BD presents | 22 in Japan

SO I finally did it! I made a facebook page! If you like my makeup, photos and stuff, please like my page! *(*´∀｀*)☆ I'll upload stuff there faster than on blogger!

I'm turning 22 soon! I must say this year has been super fast x.x I'm leaving for Japan tomorrow already, but I luckily got to have a small birthday party/dinner with my family yesterday and also got some presents from some of my friends!

Issey Miyaki Florale perfume

Love this perfume! I've not been so fond of the other Issey Miyake for women as I thought they smelled exactly like the ones for men ._. But this one (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Nicki Minaj mac lipstick and Two Faced pink lipstick.

 I love the design of the Two Faced lipstick! Super girly and cute ;D

Urban Decay Naked Palette 2

Lovely colors! I'm missing some natural pretty eyeshadows in a smaller palette than my 88 coastal scents. So this palette is perfect!

From my family I mostly got cash presents and in yen as well! Awesome hehe.. And my sweet sister and cousin bought me another mac lipstick and a huge lolipop container full of small lollipops lol! Naaw I'm gonna miss them so much （；へ：）

☆彡　　★彡　　☆彡　　★彡

And as mentioned.. It's already tomorrow I'm leaving for Japan! I'm curious how my 22nd year will turn out. I feel a bit old already when thinking I'll be 22 soon and I don't feel like I've achieved what I wanted XD but hopefully I'll still have enough time in the future!

It's not so long ago that I went to Japan the last time, but it still feels like ages ago! I'm sure this time will be totally different! I have a few goals for this time, especially when looking at my photos from last year in Japan.. So.. with my new camera I hope to improve my photography skills in Japan! Last time was really inspiring, so I hope I'll have the same passion for photography as last time.

And wow I'm rambling a lot haha! But I have sooo many mixed feelings about going to Japan this time! Luckily, I'll be traveling with my friend Maria who shares most of my feelings, though she might be a bit more positive than me (who is really paranoid lol)

And I'll end it all with a photo from Japan last year to lighten this post up a bit haha

This. Brings back awesome and hilarious memories!!

MAC makeup | Lightroom | Photoshoot Teaser

My family just came home from a trip to America, and they bought me some stuff yay! (some per request lol)

Embarrassingly this is actually my ever first MAC makeup! (I'm so way behind) So I'm pretty excited! A lot of my friends are mac fans and users so I've been considering getting some for a long time. But I'm glad I finally got some!

 Blush: Solar Ray

Lipstick: Please Me & Russian Red

And I asked my sister to get me this Maybelline master precise eyeliner as well. I've always been using either liquid, gel or coal liner, but after trying this (and seeing a lot of the gals using it hehe) I tried it and fell in love with the easiness of applying this product! It dries fast and stays on really nicely!

Here I'm wearing the Maybelline eyeliner, Solar Ray blush (mac) and Please Me lipstick (mac)

(and my new hair in process)

Closeup: I really love this color already!! It's a matte natural pink color and stays on all day without staining and needing to be reapplied too often (I only reapplied once and after drinking and eating it was still nice and vivid). It doesn't dry out your lips either. 5 stars from here haha!! Totally love this!

Adobe Lightroom 4

It's no secret I've been using Photoshop for editing my pictures XD However all my photographer friends are using Lightroom and recommended my trying it instead since everything is easier.. So.. I finally tried!! And I'm already in love!! It's SO much easier and you can edit your photos WAY faster! What did I waster my time with in photoshop all these.. years!? Wow I feel like I just discovered the evolution in editing haha! (so slow)

SO I tried editing a photo from the Queen of Hearts makeup set I did. I really like the result hehe and it was really much easier to do than in photoshop!

And I mentioned last time I was going to do a small photoshoot right?? Well..  

Here's a small teaser!!

And that was all from this time!

Thanks for looking!
