Recent looks + new decoden


 I think I looked so great these past two days!! 

I'm more used to the contact lenses now and I don't think I look weird anymore – on the contrary! Now I feel like my makeup is much more complete and gal

I'm an outfit repeater, you've been warned 



Same as yesterday

M.A.C "Fleshpot"

I've not really been doing a full on nose contour (only highlight) but today I decided to show some commitment ww I really liked it! I missed wearing nose contour on a daily basis!

Imo these looks made me look very mature but I'm really enjoying this onee vibe rn! It's perfect for the office life! 


I did some new decoden!!!! 

Ever since I received my lenses, I've been dying to bling up the travel kit that came with them (with exception of the tweezers and applicator, of course!).

This deco took me about 5 hours to finish but I'm really happy with how it turned out! The only thing is that unfortunately the glue damaged the base of the ribbon cabochon

This project has received some love on Twitter and even Mechiyoro (!!!) liked it! 

No flash

With flash

I almost ran out of rhinestones during this project, so I had to wait until I got new packs to do the lens case. Due to safety reasons, I didn't do a fuller deco on them, and rather kept it more "basic", but still functional. I was feeling a bit insecure because I'm not used to write in decoden, but I ended up enjoying the final result! 


I also got a medicine case to keep my rhinestones organized! I was going crazy with so many little packs that often open up inside my craft box and make a mess, now they're finally organized! 



I wanna do my earbuds next... But I always break them so easily

Mercari Haul!



Hey everyone!
We have a very special post today because last week I received my first Mercari order!!!


I used ZenMarket as my proxy shopping service (I've seen too many bad reviews of Buyee and how pricey they are), and I don't think it was bad, it's just... A lot of taxes. But overall good service.

Here's everything I got:

 Tralala long sleeved shirt
 Tralala folding mirror
  pleather tote bag
  dress

I was supposed to get the June 2008 issue of Koakuma Ageha but unfortunately it was cancelled 

As happy as I am now, I'm afraid this is my first and last Mercari haul, at least for a while. Importing stuff in Brazil was never really easy but it's worst now with new importing laws and taxes. The taxes I had to pay when it arrived (after 3 months) was insane. It'll take me a while to financially recover from the taxes tbh 

Shipping was slow as heck too. Surface shipping is one really bad method and too expensive for what it delivers. My order was shipped in mid April and only arrived in Brazil earlier this month, and now Japan won't even do Surface shipping to Brazil any longer – which means there are only the better, but way more expensive choices now.

Being a gyaru in Brazil is like playing on hard mode. You guys have no idea. 

Upsetting stuff aside, let's get to the fun part! 



The shirt was listed as a sweater but it actually isn't  I like it very much though!

It's off-white (which I like better than white tbh), the sleeves have a cuff on the wrists which make them a lil poof-y, the collar has pearl applications and the back has a lacey see-through fabric with a tiny ribbon.

I really like that Tralala's said "free size" is actually my perfect size and fits really comfortable, at least when it comes to shirts. I'm usually afraid of Japanese clothing that claims to be "one size fits all", but at least Tralala fits me really well. Although my boobs stretch out the graphic print a little 



POINT  The lil black ribbon in the front is made of polka dot tulle! It's SOOO cute!


I now finally have my very own brand mirror!  I wanted either a MA*RS or Tralala mirror, but MA*RS was very pricey. I was lucky to find this one for ¥300.

I feel 100% like a gal now 




I'm gonna be super honest here, I only got this dress because it was super cheap, but I wasn't really sure if it would fit. As it's stretchy, I can wear it, but it's not a perfect fit. I can't lift my arms properly and I definitely need to wear safety shorts underneath. But it's super cute nevertheless, and I like the more onee feel of it 


Now, the star of the show.

I solely agreed with paying that absurd tax because of this bag. Just look at her. LOOK AT HER! 

It's brand new with the tag, and I'm still hesitant of cutting it off wwwwww



This bag is a real dream come true, not to mention it's HUGE  it got two inside pockets and a compartment. I can fit all of my mental health issues inside 



I wish I could buy from Mercari more, but for now, this will be my last order. I'm avoiding international shopping, and the government literally is forcing us to want to buy locally. Not only it's much more expensive to buy from locals here, but there are way less options for plus size people and overall nice looking clothing.

I love Brazil and being Brazilian, but boy... It can suck here sometimes 

On a lighter note, I'm very happy with my new old stuff ww






Best weekend ever + life updates
