Nini Monica Japanese Brand blush/face loose powder

I ordered this Japanese brand face powder/ blush

ninimonicablush

ninimonicaquad3tones
I bought the first one to the left, its for neutral skin tones.

In the photos it look so small, but i was surprise to see how big it was.
nini monica compared to a quarter

anyways the face powder comes with this very cute pom pom (see above photos) the powder is loose, sheer, reminds me of Bare Minerals face powder, but instead in different colors such as pink, purple, orange etc...
when used the powder feels very light, not cakey, smooth. the pink and orange adds a little flush tint.

this item makes a cute additional to your makeup collection, it cost me $8.95 free shipping
Not only can the above item can be found on Ebay she has other makeup brands from Korea or japan.

Chinese Makeup?(and Tina's Gifts)

sorry Tina i've been procrasinating about sending these to you, but i might as well take photos of them and so you can get an idea of what you will do with them LOL.


The gold heart shape one is from a chinese brand name called Tailaimei
and the other pallete is from Aily
They both have pretty colors for blush and e.s

(this photo is better quality)

Anyways they all open up to all this, pretty cool how they can be very compact. I havent got a chance to try the quality of the e.s or blush, but somehow they remind me of the 120 pallette...

I'll probably try the colors out with my own pallette(the photos show's Tina's gift, but i have another one also)

Hopefully tina can do a review of em.

Note to Tina, im throwing away the Mascara, because it stinks! so dont be surprise when it arrives and that is missing LOL!

Spicy Tuna Roll

The other day I made Spicy tuna roll (I love to cook) =) yummm

spicy tuna roll
(my cell phone camera is crappy)

If your curious how to make the tuna filling here is a recipe on how to make it.

4 cups sushi rice
4 sheets nori (dried seaweed)
1 Tbsp white sesame seeds
1/2 pound fresh maguro (raw tuna)
1 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp togarashi (chile powder) (I used Sirachi Sauce)

Chop tuna and mix with mayonnaise and togarashi. Put a nori sheet on top of a bamboo mat (makisu). Spread sushi rice on top of the nori sheet. Sprinkle sesame seed on top of the sushi rice. Place the tuna mixture lengthwise on the rice. Roll up the bamboo mat, pressing forward to shape the sushi into a cylinder. Press the bamboo mat firmly and remove it from the sushi. Cut the rolled sushi into bite-sized pieces.

And this video shows you how to roll them inside out =)

Summer Pimples and Clean&Clear

Okay, So its getting into that time of the year, Beautiful Hot Summer, where you can bust out your cute clothes and show a little skin. But one thing that sort of hold you back is those summer pimples...
I recently started breaking out but only because its that time of the month (pms) but I recently picked out this awesome item from Target for about $5.50(it was on sale) I bought it cause the "100% of people in clinical testing showed improvements as early as one day" And it really worked!

Clean and Clear

the product helps reduce the size AND the redness
(i usually pick on my pimple xD its a habit,but after putting the stuff on, i forgot about the pimple, because the pimple stop being irrating and the redness around the pimple reduced)
upon applying the stuff on, it stings a little but it goes away in 1 sec. the stuff smells a little funny, but you know its working because somehow it soothe the pimple, because the pimple was not irrating me anymore. the stuff dont even dry my skin, but the stuff do get dry and i usually just wash it the next day.
This stuff works and Im going to use this stuff whenever i see those pesky pimple on my face!
