Forever 21

On the 1st weekend of October, my mother and I traveled 2 hours to shop at this huge mall called Carrefour Laval. I'd been there once over the summer and hadn't managed to do all the stores during the short stop, so I really wanted to go back.

One shop I hadn't had the chance to go to on my first visit was Forever 21. I'd heard many things about this store but since there aren't any out here, I had never been to one.

I just got one thing to say:

IT'S LIKE MY BRAIN EXPLODED WITH AWESOMENESS!

Forever 21 has officially become my "go to" store for gyaru/gal inspired clothing.

The place reminded me of Japan so much!!

In the mist of running all over the place and being overly excited, I took a few pictures. In NO WAY these pictures give Forever 21 its true justice. 2 floors with million possibilities of clothes coordinates!!


I ended up not buying any clothes, because I knew if I started trying stuff on, I would have spent over 200$ in that store alone. So instead, I contented myself with some make-up related goods. SO CHEAP! SO AWESOME! SO GIRLY!! Totally me. I'm in love, it's official.

This is what I purchased...

Yes. 2 sets of brushes.

And no, I haven't used them yet. They're so pretty I don't want to dirty them!


My very 1st pair of false lashes!!!

I'll be reviewing these once I have an occasion to wear them. Gotta make it special!!

Have you ever been to Forever 21?

What's Your Number?

What's Your Number?

Suteisi rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Romantic comedy starring Anna Farris and Chris Evans. It's based on Karyn Bosnak's book 20 Times a Lady. The movie was released on September 30th, 2011. "Ally Darling, who thinks she will always be single, looks back at her past ex-boyfriends to find the best one."

Basically, Ally (Anna Farris) is looking for the one man she will be spending the rest of her life with. Due to certain circumstances (which you will find out about in the beginning of the movie), she wants to find that man into one of her exes, so she asks for Colin's (Chris Evans, who is Ally's neighbor) help into finding them.

I really wasn't expecting much when going in to see that movie. One of my girl friend and I decided to have a girls night out, dinner, pedicure and then a movie. So we picked What's Your Number? since it seemed to be light and funny, we didn't want to be getting into anything too deep and serious.

I was pleasantly surprised! I had my doubts regarding Anna Farris. She was pretty good, she had most of the funny lines of course, but her character is very easy to relate to! Only little hitch was through out the ENTIRE film, every time there was a close-up shot on Anna Farris' face, I couldn't help but ask myself what the hell happened to her upper lip? Totally unexistant!! It bothered me the whole movie... Other than that she was fine!

And I have nothing (zero, niet, nada!) bad to say about Chris Evans. The man is a good. I'm sorry Ryan Reynolds, Chris has officially taken your spot at the top! Ever since I saw him in Captain America, I asked myself why had I never paid more attention to this man. He's PERFECT! Literally. /end of celebrity crush.

I recommend this movie to every ladies!! Go see it, it was great!

LANDS OF Eden

4th shot is my favorite, but I'm really liking the first one also. The 1st shot was released as a spoiler for the fashion brand, and there were many questions as to whom the young woman was. Of course there were many speculations, but with a few hints, some dedicated fans found out it was Ayu. In that shot you can see the woman is wearing a red ribbon bracelet on her right arm, this is something Ayu has been doing for quite sometime now. She wears a red bracelet as a sign that she's always connected with her fan club "Team Ayu" and her fans. I don't like her lips in the 2nd shot, but this seems to be a very popular "trend" in Japan right now, I've seen several models with the same "duck lips" expression that is enhanced with make-up.

This seems to be a unisex brand. You can view part of their collection on the website. I could easily see myself shopping there, it seems to be a brand aimed at women their 20s. Not too many bright colors as I've liked recently, but you'll rarely see bright colors for Fall/Winter Collections. LANDS of Eden advertisements.



There was a grand opening event recently, JUNO and Ayu were both there for the press!


They look like they have good chemistry!


What do you think of this new brand? Think "LANDS OF Eden" is a bit too cheesy or you like it? What about the modeling shots of Ayu and JUNO together?

September Gets

It's October already! Time flies~ I did a little more shopping in September than I did in August! Gearing up for the winter once again...

But first!! One of my favorite looks right now...

This is a new tank top I got recently, paired with skinny jeans, a short cardi/vest and a long necklace, I had my look to go out with some friends 2 weeks ago!

Tank top in question! I got a green and a pink one. I'll definitely be going back to get more of different colors, they're super long and so comfortable! I'm in love~

Other things I purchases at Joshua Perets last month: 3 long sleeve tops!

Which one is your favorite? I really like the red one, with the designs all around it's funky!

And then I got these at Ardene! My first time ever buying clothes there. I remember when they only ever carried cheap jewelries.

Cutest slippers ever!

PJ bottoms! I love me some colors~

And then 2 tops for work!



Have you been shopping for the winter season lately??

Ayu produces false eyelashes too!

I had been playing with the idea of trying out fake eyelashes for some time, probably just as long as I've been thinking about colored circle lenses. To me, they go together, but I probably won't be trying them together at the same time for the first time. Or should I?

It seems DollyWink have been very popular with western gals, so I was just about ready to order a pair or two online, when news of Ayu releasing her very on false eyelashes came out! (Yeah, yeah I know, I posted about Ayu already once this week, but what do you want me to say? This is how it works with her, she releases everything practically all at the same time! And I can't help but talk about it! It's Ayu AND make-up related.)


There are three (3) lines: Natural Days, Gorgeous Days and Royal Days, ranging from natural volume to more dramatic. Within each line there will be 12 different types of lashes.

The price is 1,480 yen per pack and each pack contains 3 sets of lashes!

1,480 yen! That's totally reasonable, don't you think?

Honestly I don't know why she waited so long to do this.

Natural Days no. 1

Natural Days no. 2

Natural Days no. 3
Natural Days Bottom no. 1

Gorgeous Days no. 4

Gorgeous Days no. 5

Gorgeous Days no. 6

Gorgeous Days Bottom no. 2

Royal Days no. 7

Royal Days no. 8

Royal Days no. 9

Royal Days Bottom no. 3

My favorite ones out of the bunch: Naturals Days no.1, Gorgeous Days no.6 and Royals Days no.7. Personally I don't care for bottom lashes so I'll be leaving these out for now.

These have been on sell at mu-mo since September 22nd, and they will be sold all over Japan starting September 30th. I haven't managed to figure out a way to order them from mu-mo.net yet (they have an international website affiliated with Tenso which gives you an address in Japan so that you may order from Japanese online websites that don't ship internationally), but you can view all of them here on the Japanese website here. If you guys know how to get your hands on these, please let me know!! I'd really like to order two or three pairs to try them out!

Until next time~~~



Note: If you want to use the pictures included in this blog entry, please make sure to credit and don't remove my blog tag. I took the time to put them all together from mu-mo. It was a bit time consuming... Thank you very much!

What do you think of these lashes? Will the fact that Ayu produced them herself, influence you into buying them? Or are false eyelashes not your thing? Tell me what you think!
