Omg i finally have internet!!
i moved into my apartment 2 days ago and i didnt get any internet till today. Had to rely on my iphone to check emails [but i couldnt reply. its just too hard to type on it XD..so for those waiting on replies from me..uh gimmie a few more days].
But yes! the main point is, i have finally found and moved into an apartment!The removalists unpacked most of the boxes but there is still a lot of organising which i have to do myself. T-T
My apartment is above a mall which has a MAC store XD
Picked up some new items yesterday [had to get to know my SA heehee]
From the “All Ages, All Races, All Sexes” collection
I NEED to have my brows perfectly done each day else i’d feel like the day is going to be crap. Are you the same?
I asked this question on twitter yesterday and it seems i am not alone. heehee
Trying out this brow set gel, will let you guys know if its any good!
I dont usually buy lippies but i was drawn to these [Thanks to Pink for enabling me with photos on her blog]
Lipstick in “Equality”
Lipstick in “Myself”
I’ll post swatches in my next post! I have been really busy during the day and its hard to do swatches with just a lamp [in sunlight its a lot better]
I’m thinking of picking up the lipglosses in this range as well. XD What say you?
Also picked up some lashes a while ago
Yes its the ones i forgot to buy back in Japan which comes with the chocolate case for storing the falsies
Luckily they sell them here in Hong Kong too [i bought it in SASA]
Still on beauty recommendations but not quite what you think…I’ve got something to suggest to you XD
If there is an ikea near you, go NOW to get one of these
Its about USD$10 and is EXCELLENT for putting makeup on. Its perfect for maintaining your brows or drawing eyeliner on. Esp if you have bad eyesight and cant see anything when you take your glasses off to put makeup on [like me XD somedays i dont wear contact lenses]
I have it attached to my table and i put it really close to my face when i am using it XD
It has a normal mirror on one side and a magnifying one on the other side.
Oh and i totally want you guys to get this for your hair XD
I bought this in Japan so i have no idea if they sell it elsewhere. I assume they do as i have seen it featured in Taiwanese magazines as well. Put some in your hair the night before and the next day, your hair will be smooth, silky and GORGEOUS. I stopped using it briefly because i got lazy and i could definetely see the difference. So now i am back on it again XD
EDIT: i totally forgot to say what it is hahah its hair serum! you use it AFTER you dried your hair. And AFTER leave in hair conditioner [if you use that]
Its not really cold in Hong Kong but been wearing my new beanies around as i need to dye my hair [roots totally showing!]
Both from Liz Lisa. I couldnt decide which one to buy and since Studio Alta in Ikebukurou Tokyo was having a sale, i bought both hahaha
A bit of food porn for Wuzzy [cos you know i always put something in for you]
Mish is totally addicted to this drink and told me to try it. I really like it too! Its not too sweet and very coconut-ty.
In a previous post, i wrote about a factory outlet the girls took me too. I have recieved a few emails and comments asking me the location so i asked around and here is the map!
I cant read this map XD so uh you might need to ask someone who can hahaha
Thanks to Miss Rachel H for translating the following
“Lai chi kok MTR station exit 1, near the bus terminus & near Cheung Sha Wan Plaza / Mall phase 1, and it’s on the corner of cheun sun steet (the horizontal one)in a building called sun cheung.”
And in news of my own..i started work on a new iphone cover
Dont mind the masking tape with black marker words underneath it, i am just using it as a guide XD
I’ll post pics when i finish it ^^
Hope you are all doing well
XOXO yumeko
OMG You guys already got All Races in HK! I’m in UK and nothing here yet =( I think we have to wait a few more weeks/months, but I was looking at Pink’s pictures and she is making me want to get the lippies too.
You sound like you’re having so much fun~~~ Good luck with all of the unpacking and settling in! I know one of the most tedious parts of moving is unpacking, but make sure to get lots of rest!! ^___^
The lipstick in “Equality” looks like the perfect nude shade that I am looking for @___@ Because of you, I’ll go and visit MAC on Saturday ^o^
I haven’t exactly tried doing anything with my brows at all, despite being a make-up lover D: Does it really make a huge difference in terms of your overall look? And uhm…I don’t know how to *hides in shame* >___<
I am liking the beanies too, very cute! XD And thank God you have internet already!! ^_^
I want the chocolate case!! LOL
hmmm still not sure if i am into MAC lippies but you know that now you have mentioned it too, i will HAVE to look at them at duty free!!!
Yume, is that a leave in conditioner? Dang, I want me some LUX stuff!
Liz Lisa beanies!!! *squeals*
Hope you finish organizing your apartment soon
Can’t wait to see your finished iphone case!
I will definitely hoard on falsies when I visit HK
I love your phone cover, you are very creative! I can’t wait to see the final product 
haha, I heart those lashes. I found out that I’m obsessed with falsies lately and I don’t want the natural falsies, I want this kind of fancy fancy falsies…
LUX is a die for, for me. I’m hoping that i will be available in my local drugstore soon… hoping!
yeeeha, your iphone case is gonna be bling—-ingggggggg (echo)
Adorable Haul!! I love the sparkleees!
hey yumeko, hope everything goes well for you!!
weee~~
)
))
the ikea mirror is totally calling me to buy it right now!!!
thanks for sharing!!
hahaha. n happy unpacking your stuffs!
hope you are getting use to the new place right now!
take care!! <3
I have a magnifying mirror too, it’s more handy than putting on makeup while having your face nearly stuck to the mirror :p
Great haul. I’m liking that lipstick in “Myself”, I have to go check it out. I wasn’t impressed when I first saw this collection. Maybe I should give it a second chance. =)
I can’t wait to see your iphone cover all finished! Lux is the best, I love that shampoo and cond.
Again, it’d be SO dangerous for me to live that close to a MAC store. Though I hate going into the one here as the girls are kind of snooty so they tend to turn me off buying anything anyway… still. I haven’t tried any MAC lippies yet but those look nice! Especially for nude lippies.
The lashes are cute!! Falsies still scare me but Yasumi keeps telling me that if I start using them the fear will go away haha. They are pretty pricey here though!
They sell Lux here (but not all the treatments) so I will have to look for that… I am still using Tsubaki (I switched to a salon brand here but my hair did not appreciate it very much).
The Liz Lisa toques are SO CUTE. I love and covet the pink one. I love wearing them, even though here that usually means it is pretty cold XD
Can’t wait to see your new iPhone case! I never would have thought of using a stencil, haha.
The mirror.. wow amazing! But sadly there is NO ikea in Slovenia, so bleh
I feel we are missing like LOTS of things and stores…
The bling bling thing… I really can’t wait it to be done, do you have any tips and tricks with decoden?
*drools at your latest haul*
Haha, this is so weird, but I can read that map and kinda know where it is xD it’s sort of on the way to the airport right?
This is totally unfair!I immediately ran out to my nearest store after seeing Pink’s post, but every single MAC I’ve gone to has sold out on “Myself” they only have “Equality” left and it’s too much like concealer on my lips! I’ll have to try the Pro store tomorrow >.<
I'd really like to see how those lashes look on you!I've never owned a pair like that!
How are you liking HK girlie?
Wow! So lucky to be living over a mall with a Mac store! (: I see that your going to love it there. ^^ Definitely keep us updated.
<333
I always enjoy reading your post….everything are just so interesting….XOXO
Damn you lucky girl! Above a MAC store? aaargh *envious*
That mirror is sooo good! you can turn and twist it all the way?
I love the beanies! They are so cute! And your iPhone case will be so bomb!
–Ciara<3
Great post! Have fun organizing! It can be a fun project at times hehe.
I’m new to brow products but I am starting to feel the need to have them groomed. Any recommendations on brow setting gels/waxes? I’ve tried Anastasia wax and some ELF products but they aren’t working…can’t wait to hear what you think of the MAC product =)
They have apartments above the malls? It must be really tempting to go shopping now! lol I love how you make your own phone case decorations, I wish I was that creative! Can’t wait to see how it is when you’re all done :]
OHH!! i have an iphone too! is that how you get the font to be so nicely done? Can you take more pictures of you making it? it’s awesome.
Yay internet!!
OMG. I totally need a mirror like that!!
Whoa you live above a MALL?! Dang woman! That’s like temptation city! LOL! That kinda cool too! Nice lippie picks! I’m glad that the MAC in HK isn’t as bad as JP!
And so hear you on the brows!! Just got mine waxed yesterday! I can only self upkeep them for so long. LOL!
Those are some cute beenies! And dang that iPhone case is looking good! Your so good! I don’t have the patience or hand eye coordination for that stuff! LOL!
Mmmm… Drink porn for me?! Purple rice?! Sounds interesting!
So nice haul! Lovely lipsticks!
the MAC Equality lippie looks really pretty, i cant wait for you to swatch it ^_^ Have fun unpacking Yumeko! xoxo *.*
“My apartment is above a mall which has a MAC store XD”
Was this part of the requirements you gave? =D
Lux is from Unilever, which is all over the world. With all kinds of products. So is that the shampoo or conditioner? I’m always looking for better stuff to use, especially since the texture of my hair has changed.
Yay for getting a place of your own!
Hello yumeko!
I took a picture of the style but haven’t uploaded it yet, I will do it this weekend! ^_^
I love the chocolate lashes you got though!
And I loveeeee the homemade purple rice stuff my mommy makes, it’s the best!
And you are so talented! I would not have the patience to bling out my phone case o_O!
i’m digging the iPhone case. i wish i was as crafty as you! can’t wait to see the final product. ;D
thank you so much!~ i’ll post pics when i finish it soon!!
i’m looking forward to it! =)
i love reading about your adventures in HK. it’s my favorite place on earth.
at least they unpacked most of the boxes for u!!! XD
and….such a temptation to stay in a place..where, MAC is just sooo NEAR to u!!! HAHAHA!!!
im not sure if singapore have that, Hair Styling goods that u recommend…i need to hunt for it in singapore…(-_-”) my hair been getting out of control this week! argghhh~
ahh yumeko i always love ur hauls! the hair serum looks amazing! i hope my local mitsuwa has it so i can try it
and i LOVEEEEE liz lisa! wish they would sell online though…
I *love* those lipstick colors! I’m not so much of stick-type person, I often prefer creams or glosses, but I’m always up for those nude colors!
And please do let us know what you think of the brow gel! I’m on the look out for one, but holding off on buying until I can get my brows properly done.
lol you live above a mac store… that’s a big giveaway to where you live!
The translation of the map is roughly
Lai chi kok MTR station exit 1, near the bus terminus & near Cheung Sha Wan Plaza / Mall phase 1, and it’s on the corner of cheun sun steet (the horizontal one)in a building called sun cheung.
hahah is that so? its ok, there are so many apartments here, i dont think i’ll have any stalkers heehee
thanks for the translation! i will post it on my entry! thank you <3
I wanna try the lux hair serum!! Do they sell it in sasa.com?n thanks for recommending the mirror,I think that’s exactly what I need because I’m taking times off contacts XD

Yay for having internet and moving it to your new apartment. I agress, it’s sp hard to type on a touch screen phone. I’m just not use to it. Love your Mac hauls and Ikea mirror:) I bought the lipstick in Equality too. I want to check out the Myself lippy now. Can’t wait to see the swatches. The Lux hair conditioner sounds interest. I wonder it sells on the U.S.

<3 miss you
I’ve missed being on the internet and seeing all your posts while I was on holiday in the Philippines.
love the post, as usual.
Just wondering, do you have a Tumblr? Because I’m loving mine: probably going to post on there for now on.
i dont have tumblr and i cant figure out how to comment on urs? XD?!? i missed u though!!!!!
Hihi,
I love reading your posts and was wondering would you consider doing a tutorial on how you crystallized ur iphone cover??;) Thanks!
hi there, i’ll try if i have time to do another cover. in the meantime , you can check out a previous tutorial ^^ http://bittenbefore.com/tokyolife/2009/03/04/deco-cosme/ hope this helps
Thanks, Yumeko!
haha, I think a lot of people ended up getting Myself after seeing Pink’s post! I know I want to go to MAC and get the lipglass, since I don’t wear lipstick as often as I want to…
ooooh, I like that mirror! I wonder if the US IKEAs sell them…I’ll have to look for it the next time I go to IKEA
can’t wait to see your finished blingy case!
