Larme vol 20 ♥ Scans, Tutorials, Trends



Hello there! This week's post is mainly focused on Larme vol. 20 that I have received in the mail lately (I got it with the help of Miyu Shop, her shopping service from France is great).

This volume is beautiful and inspired me a lot. It features different takes on Larme and is also very versatile (but not too general like I've found volume 19). A great introduction to what we should expect in spring!

I scanned highlights from every article, and I'll note some of my favorite trends and looks ♥




♥♥♥

One of the first pages is a commercial to the Anna Sui Rouge that I reviewed last time.






The main theme this time, as also written on the cover, is "Blue Valentine". It features the story of a couple which is romantic but also sad.



 My favorite looks:

(TREND! wide, loose pants, muted colors, those shoes by Honey Salon (TREND! Leopard print)

This picture pretty much sums up Larme in my opinion: pink girly, pheromone fetish and mature vintage:



The next article is about Larme looks and transition from winter to spring.

 (loose and girly) Mai Shiraishi in Romantic Girly


Yui Kanno in Dream Casual

Risa Nakamura in Pheromone Fetish ()

(TREND! Long, transparent skirt) 

Make-up and hair (I'm obsessed with the 60's Ye-Ye vibe)
(TREND! sixties-inspired)

Monaca Nishi in loose grunge 

(Monaca has always been hair goals but this time I just adore her make-up look. The nude eye and strong blush – this look is great on her)

Maria Kurotaki in Pin-up dolly

(soooo Katie!)

♥ 

Mai is really growing on me in her 99 questions article

Trend! 60's Bardot hair 



Risa and Monaca show their best Make-up products and techniques:


TREND! red and burgundy eyeshadow


Knits! Personally I'm deep in the warm-Israeli-spring mood, but this spread has some great looks 

TREND: black&soft pink


how cute is Monaca here ; ^ ;


Winter coordinates! There were plenty, but I collected my absolute favorites.

dark looks


sweet looks


Risa serving black lace queen again




I really like Rina Matsuno. She's so young but there's something mature and edgy about her look. I really love her long black hair, which you don't see much in Larme.






Bangs arrange magic!



TREND: fluffy, airy, light bangs.


TREND! Multiple small ribbons as hair accessory.


The swankiss spread was super sweet this time




A peek to E hyphen gallery bonbon's new look, directed by Risa. I personally can't wait for the 
collection to be out. I want to definitely purchase something from the first collection!



Mon lily's spread was magical and dreamy

And lastly, Risa in leopard. Yummy


This is it for this volume! Hope you find the scans helpful and inspirational! Personally I'm getting a bit tired of the sweet but poisonous black&pink look, and looking forward for wearing more loose, sophisticated looks this spring.
♥♥♥

Other than that I got to wear this look this week:


The camisole and over-shirt are my grandma's. she wore it to my parents' wedding so it's dear to me 
(there's also a maxi skirt with pearl buttons that comes with it… ). The little bag was also given to me from her. Those pants (!!) though are my latest obsession. Got them at Zara for the ridiculous price of 6 Euro.

I was also listening to lots of Brigitte Bardot. She's truly goals after watching a short documentary, I tried her iconic look. The pics are bad but I like the vibe haha


♥♥♥

That's it for this week! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. Have a lovely weekend and here's 
some BB for when you want to feel like a sexy bunny:

Anna Sui Creme Rouge Review ♥ Paris Fashion Week & more


Happy Friday! this week I received the Anna Sui blush I was writing about last time, so here's the review as promised! Coming up are also highlights from Paris Fashion Week. 

It was a slow and hard week for me, but I also managed to dress up a lot. I guess being so bummed, my only way out was to get out of bed and put make up on haha. so there are also quite a few outfits.

anyway here's the Review! ♥



♥♥♥

I got the blush from Asos (Link) for 28 euros, in the shade 302 Poppy. It's featured in this mesmerizing commercial which is a collab between Anna Sui and Larme. (Risaaa!!)


I was in need for a good, bold blush so I was really excited about receiving this one. the packaging is classic Anna Sui and gorgeous.


 (the shade in real life is a bit less orange)

The top part is actually a violet sponge applicator.


the product is creamy and dense, and it smells like roses. the fragrance is quite strong but I don't mind. the applicator is really easy to use, especially in order to achieve the signature Larme look. the Formula and the applicator also make the blush very build-able, and the amount you apply is easy to control and blend.

before
after
I applied mostly on the cheeks, and a bit on the nose and chin. I really struggle to show blush on camera without looking like a clown, but I think this one is quite visible, despite the harsh light and many filters :)

all in all I am very pleased with the product and super glad I got it!

♥♥♥
