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.

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!

My week in Israel ♥ Outfits, Meetings, New buys

Hey everyone! ♥ I'm back from a crazy week in Israel. Today's post is a bit of a personal update. 

My "vacation" was crazy busy and I wish I had taken more pics. One of the highlights was my meeting with Einav♥, a fellow Larme lover from Israel and Senpai, and also Mayu♥ the sparkly gyaru princess.

♥♥♥

I've met Einav at the mall and the first thing we've done is shopping! I was broke so I couldn't buy anything, but it was lots of fun helping Navi shop. I've seen so many pretty and Larme-able pieces, it's such a shame there's no Forever21 in my area here in Germany. 

Of course we took tons of selfies. Navi's outfit was to die for and her make-up is always gorgeous ♥ I look so pale and dull next to her lol

top: Liz Lisa
skirt: used to be my mom's
shoes: ASOS

♥♥♥

after we sat and read my volume of Larme 18 together, Mayu joined us ♥ it's my second time meeting both Einav and Mayu and it was lots of fun just sitting and talking about Jfashion and the different communities in Israel. We went to Oban Koban, an amazing Japanese restaurant in Tel-Aviv. Mayu and I shared some delicious Ramen ♥

I miss them already ; 3 ; 

♥♥♥

later this week I finally got my hair done haha. I went to a new hairdresser named Sagi Dahari in Tel-Aviv and HE IS GODLIKE. I've never been happier with my hair. He is seriously extremely talented. If any of you are from Israel, GO GET YOUR HAIR DONE BY THIS GUY. It's expensive, but worth every single Shekel. I've shown him a pic of Risa for reference and he liked her so much haha.

♥♥♥

the rest of the week was full of meetings, great food and family. I didn't shop much, but I did get this one dress from a boutique named YANGA in Israel. They sell cute, girly clothes. I wore it this week.

undershirt: H&M

dress: YANGA

shoes: ASOS

♥♥♥

Last but not least, I've visited ASOS (I shouldn't have haha) and saw they were selling this Anna Sui Rouge, advertised by Risa x Larme. My Risa admiration obsession was too much and I immediately ordered it in the shade Poppy. Trying to get the stock image from Asos I realized it's already sold out, so I feel double lucky! the commercial is just divine:

It should arrive on Monday... I'll totally include a review of it next week.

♥♥♥

That's it for this week! for next week I'll prepare something more informative. As always, some cute music. This time my girl Grimes. Obsessed with her new album.

Swankiss Dreamy Book ♥ Review, Scans and Tutorials

Hi there! How was everyone's week? This post will be about the Swankiss Dreamy Book I've got lately.

Swankiss is one of my favorite brands. I don't really see myself pulling off the full OTT Swankiss look, but the dream-come-true feel of this brand really inspires me. For me it's about girls making their own rules and living freely.  The silhouettes and motifs also remind me of the character Mikako from Gokinjo Monogatari, which is my favorite manga!

The Book looks more like a magazine, and comes with this sweet tote bag. Saaya Hayashida, the brand's producer, has filled the book with useful tutorials and inspirational content. 

♥♥♥

The first few pages feature Nakamura Risa, which is delightful ♥ I love her bitter-sweet look with the elaborate Swankiss attire.

breathtaking double spread

♥♥♥

It goes on reviewing some of Swankiss' past collections:

Yui kanno in Strawberry cream soda (strawberry motifs!)

Sayaka Kanda in Fairytale Princess (I just love her black hair and edgy look with Swankiss)

Monaca Nishi (she's growing on me lately) in fallin' love love

Sayaka Kanda and Risa Nakamura's collaboration pieces

And this precious Risa paper doll stole my heart... ♥

♥♥♥

The next part features Saaya Hayashida, Swankiss' producer. Lots of tutorials and guides on how to become the perfect Swankiss girl.

♥Hairstyles for various lengths♥

♥Makeup looks♥

♥Nail collections! Major inspiration♥

♥♥♥

The book has lots of content I didn't cover, so I really recommend ordering it if your'e a Swankiss fan. I just wish it would feature Hikapu, which is a shop staff girl at Swankiss. I love her to death! as said the book also comes with this sweet tote bag ♥ you can find it on Otakumode.com

that's it for the review!

♥♥♥

This week was kinda boring, but I went to town to do some shopping <3 the next week I'm gonna spend in my home country, Israel, and hopefully I'll meet my friends Einav and Mayu who are also into JFashion. can't wait to see these cuties ; o ; 

♥This week's casual look:♥

Bag+shoes are from asos

And the finds! This cardigan is heaven and was only 15 Euros. Everything is from Tally Weijl

♥♥♥

That's it for this week! Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what you think <3
