Random Doll Updates:

I’m emailing four bloggers with interview questions from the people who submitted to the “Tell me about your blog” to get it started. I also e-mailed those who did not make the requirements that I listed (pictures or language). Those who haven’t gotten an e-mail, I’ll get to you I promise. Possibly next month. Since it’s bimonthly this is a slow process.

Previous giveaway: Anku won the previous giveaway and her goodies were sent today :stepup:

I promised I’d be doing another giveaway soon. So I’ve decided to get it set-up this week so I don’t have to worry doing it during my packing and planning week next week.

This one is a small one and no alpaca. Sorry! I will have an alpaca giveaway next if possible  :stepup:

Giveaway includes:

:butterfly: Kyary Pyamu Pyamu produced Harajuku Doll Eyemazing Lashes. (link)

:butterfly: Tokyo Girls Collection only Girly Bear mascot themed purple bow phone strap

:butterfly: Bihada Ichizoku face mask

Close-up of the cute phone strap. It’s taped and I want the winner to be able to open it. But you can see how cute it is inside.

note: I know Kyary Pyamu Pyamu isn’t gal, and I don’t care. Honestly these lashes have a wonderful doll quality that I liked over the other Eyemazing lashes.

How to enter

I am sponsored by PinkyParadise for contact lens, but I bought this pair myself. I also reordered 3 more months of them with my own money. Why? Because they’re amazing.

If reading is bothersome just click this link to PinkyParadise which is the only on-line supplier of Hana 30 days and enjoy these amazing contacts. Use code “universaldoll” for a free gift  :up: Because this is going to be a long post. I ramble when I’m happy  :worries:

Hana 30 Days come like regular medical contacts. You just peel and use. No soaking. No silly glass jars. Their water content is 45%. Other circle lens: 35%. More water = more comfort!

I’ve been wearing circle lens for several years and regular contacts for eons yet until I found Hana 30 days IcEye Brown I was sacrificing one thing for another. For example: comfort for enlargement, lack of enlargement for comfort, lack of natural eye for enlargement, if it was a natural eye it wasn’t as enlarged. :mad:

I have to say first, Hana 30 days are THE MOST COMFORTABLE LENS I’VE EVER TRIED. That includes circle or regular Acuvue type lens. I have seriously road tested these lens, too. I wore them on a 10 hour flight. I got serious allergies and still wore them. I wore them with and without make-up.

:stepup: My eyes did not dry out on the flight. *insert shocked face*
:stepup: I did not have to remove my contacts and wear glasses because my allergies were terrible. *insert super shocked face* I usually always have to do this. Even with regular contacts.

Never with any other daily contact lens Acuvue/Freshlook/Circle Lens have I had to think “Oooo yeah I also need to remove my contact lens” because by the end of the night they’re bothering me. :mad:

With Hana 30 days IcEye Brown I have to remind myself to take them out at 2 in the morning. I can easily wear them for 12+ hours. No eyedrops. Just wear and forget. On my flight day to Rome I wore these for 15+ hours with a little nap and my eyes were still a-okay.

They have a wonderful gradation that blends well with all colors of eyes. I love eye enlargement, but I don’t want them to look too fake.

 

Heavier make-up style with the Liz Lisa “Dolly Eye” uppers and Diamond Lash “Baby” lowers. Mega macro in my eye.

Last day of the giveaway! EDIT: Now closed! Anku won and was notified :up:

 

As the title says: sets of nails I’ve been getting as it turns to Fall. I’ll be updating individual nail sets soon when I go to Japan in two weeks for one month. Hopefully reviewing a new nail place or two while I’m there. :up:

I haven’t done actual French nails in so long and I forgot how much I do like their classic look. I really love the bordeaux/wine trend lately. It makes me happy to have wine nails that match with shoes and hats I also have in wine.

French nails also grow out nicely, 3-4 weeks later they look newish because the acrylic with a nude polish and my natural nail color are similar.  :up: A lady thought they looked new after she complimented me on my 3 week old nails. They were getting busted up close, but far away = brand new! :upheart:

Macro why do you show up my nails so nice, but also show up my dry hands not so nice :sage:

During my stay in Hiroshima I decided to walk back from Hiroshima Parco to my hotel instead of taking the train. I found some nighttime haunts on my way and took pictures. My camera isn’t the best at night, and the rain made that more of a pickle. Sorry! :worries:

Some of these places are hostess or sex clubs, but these places are everywhere in Japan so do not think of Hiroshima any different. I just ended up taking these photos in Hiroshima when many of these shots could be in Tokyo, Osaka or elsewhere.
