Ok so I have only been using it for just under 3 weeks.

But my skin has made so much progress!! I have awful awful skin.. I have been going to a dermatologist for 8 years and have been put on every acne medication under the sun ^^; but I'm still battling.

A recently blood test has shown I have way too many white blood cells (double the highest amount which is concidered healthy), so I'm going into hospital to have a CAT scan >< But I'm hoping this will find the underlaying problem of my skin for all these years. (I've had acne since i was 9 years old. I'm 20 now. Over half my life!!)

So, 11 years of acne.. You can just imagine the amount of scarring this will create

and I still have lots of active acne so the scarring is just buildnig up and up

But, with the use of clarisonic, anddd especially with cleansing oil, my skin has been the smoothest it ever has.. at least as long as i can remember. My skin with make up now just looks like I never had acne.. if i get a good enough but natural enough BB cream/foundation with enough coverage but not cakey.

Needles to say, i am so.. so so relieved.. and happy. I still get acne, but mostly only small pimples.

Ok here is a photo!

Ok so, as you can see... veeeeryyy bad scarring... but it's only to be expected as I've had acne for 11 years. But my skin is just so much less bumpy, im really reeally reaallly happy. No other facial brush or cleanser has given me these results. I still break out on my jaw line and neck, and i often get small tiny pimples if i forget to wear SPF, but, as you can see, the pimples have turnt into red/brown scars, which means I still can't show the public my bare face, but it's just so so so much easier to cover now.. I just look like I have normal teenager acne rather than horrid cystic acne with reeaaaallly lumpy skin.

And I am so so so pleased with the shu uemura cleansing oil (the pink one, fresh) as I noticed it made the scars a little less red. (A little XD)

For only under a months use, to never have seen so much improvement in 11 years.. worth every penny.. I have tried a few cleansing oils, but they're just too.. oily. I didn't want to fork out the money for shu uemura, but i was drawn by the LE packaging LOL glad i did!! It's really different from other cheaper ones i have tried.

But the clarisonic is very easy to be too rough on even when you try your best to be gentle

it can leave your skin very sore if you don't pay sooo much attention when using. But I noticed how it has made my Shiseido skincare more affective. My skincare has no AHAs or any alchohol, acids, clearing agents in, because my skin has always just been too senstive for it. It is more calming and soothing. I have noticed since the clarisonic, it has moisturised my skin more, soothed it more. Red lumps now hurt less and react faster to the skincare.

If you are too rough with the clarisonic too, it makes your skin scaley! You have to hardley press your face while using. I did have pretty bad initial breakouts for the first 2 weeks. Then, after the 2 week mark, dramatic improvement.

The photos don't look like there's much change, but in texture, there really, really really is. Before, all those red marks where bumpy acne. every single one. Now they;re smooth scars.

After my skin is completley cleared, and I find out what is wrong with my blood (very scared, was crying when the doctor told me on the phone I have to go to a new hospital to a blood specialist ><), which i have a feeling, my skin will be completley acne free soon, I will get laser treatment or which ever is best for the scar removal.

I have bad acne on my back and chest too. My chest is actually clearing because I use the clarisonic there too XD it's so amazing! No other exfoliator has done this more me. So, I want to get the clarisonic plus so I can use it on my back, too!

You can also see that I have bad dark circles, because the medicine makes my skin very very thin, dry, flakey, I have the same problem on my legs... so uneven! I'm hoping to be taken off medication if my skin clears up so much

I will most more updates in another month! I take photos of my skin everyday, so I can persnoally see the progress ^^

Ok i guess this image is very very very blurry lol But now BB cream just goes on soooo much smoother im so happy!! Here i was actually wearing lancomes tint foundation but hey ^^

I've been looking for a good eyebrow pencil for ages. I've tried sooo many drugstore brands, and dolly wink (too orange!), so Now i'm looking in higher end brands!

I found alooovely one from Clinque. The main issue was the colour with the drugstore brands (all too dark), and they'd often look cakey.

This one is soo fine and smoooth, looks amazing! Better than expected. Was hard to choose between dior and clinque, but I thought I'll go for the cheaper option first, and if i still didnt like it, then would look to brands like dior, YSL etc.

The colour is perfect for blondes, a nice ashey tone that isn't too dark but really defines my brows without being SUPER obvious

Bad photos, my camera broke!

But as you can see i dont have many eyebrows :P I don't over pluck them or anything, they're just not very existant. lol so much better with the pencil!

so happy :D

The stupid rain has limited what I can do, but good thing as I was then indoors for the mail man.

I have a huuuge taobao order with lots of liz lisa replicas im sooo happy with. But I have no where to hang clothes to take photos of them ><

Butt

I popped into Shu Uemura, I never really take much notice of their products. I'm only ever interested in the cleansing oil, but I've been no the edge about getting one for so long, trying samples of cheaper alternatives etc.. But the spring displays... so so so beautiful.. I told my boyfriend about it, and he insisted I should get it. (As I have him a sample of cleansing oils to remove camo paint, which he wears everyday in the army. He liked shu uemura most LOL because he didn't feel greasy after so he didn't bother using another cleanser. Lazey men -.- but only oil based cleansers remove camo paint properly)

Such beautiful packaging.. I've never had a sample of the pink cleansing oil. as they apparently never have those samples in stock, so this is my first time trying this cleansing oil in particular. LOVE it! And the best pattern.

SOO FREAKING EXPENCIVE THOUGH! My boyfriend put money into my bank account to buy it, and he said don't bother looking at the price, just pay for it. But when the man at the counter said "That'll be £56.50, please." I almost had a heart attack.

Well the samples lasted a long time so I hope this will! :P

Cute betsey Johnson necklace! Bad photo. But the shark was so charming, had to have!

There's a korean fashion store in Convent garden. I was warey incase they're just selling cheap chinese clothes for more expencive, for the sake of the gimmick, but Convent garden is a pretty legit place and the clothes seem well made. So, I also bought a looovely coat. Korean fashion so cute! The korean ladies where very nice too. Spoke about pop groups XD they were shocked I know about korean makeup and music. hehehe!

But I can't take a photo. Need a clothes rack or something~!

I was very ill on my brithday. I caught tonsillitis! I had a horrible fever, body aches, and of course, swollen tonsils! XD Not fun. So I basically cancled all brithday plans with family, and moped, felt sorry for my self in bed with a microwave meal and soup. LOL

But to make my self feel better, I decided to head down to boots and look at their eco brushes. Buttt then I saw a special deal on YSL...

I had a sample of the mascara a while ago when I bought the lipstick. I don't know why but I didn't try it until my brithday when I was bored in bed. And i was amazed. I HAAD to have it.

I found out it wasn't water proof when I had to have a blood test (ON MY BDAY ARGHGHGH) and I cried like a baby. ahaha. I'm terrified of blood tests. I swear you can feel a coldness in your arm from where the blood leaves T_T oh feeling queezy just typing about it~~~ ANYWAY

They had a deal.. buy 2 items, one to be mascara, get £10 on your boots card!! O_O usually you have to spend £250 to get £10 on your boots card!! (The boots store card give you cash points, £0.04 for every £1 you spend.)

So, I wanted to try the new lip product too! Their glossy stain.

Ok so let me get the long weird french names ^^

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain Lip in shade 18   A milky pink how could i not!?

Effet Faux Cils Shocking Indecent Volume Mascara I got it in black green, even though the sample is black. Hoping it will make my natural eyecolour look less dull.

Such an interesting texture... I actually read bad reviews about this shade in particular, but amazig reviews about the other glosses. This shade does not leave a stain. It's too pale to. BUT it how ever, does actually give me the most amazing milky pink lips which i LOVE LOVE LOVE with an AMAZING texture that lasts super long~~!

I may have to go get the hotter pink shade.. as that'll leave a stain ^^ But I don't care too much. I think those with little pigmentation in their lips will have a stain affect from this shade, but anyone with even a bit of pigmentation, no stain XD

Haven't tried it out yet as I just recently got the MJ MJ mascara, so in 3 months time I'll be using this one up. The sales advisor opened the bottle ifront of me, and I thought that's when the 3 months time bomb ticks down, but it's actually when you start applying it to your eyes.. phew!   Can you see the slight green shade? It's almost metalic. Will be interesting to see how this applies.

Lancome have a similar offer, £15 for 2 purchases but one has to be the visionnaire..

Some of my hauled items from my brithday order came too, my boyfriend ordered em back ups of my shiseido skincare! One more to come, a product I haven't tried before from shiseido so i'm excited for that. (The pore cooling essence)

And my new dolly wink lashes. I've been loyal to the 01 and lower lashes 05 but I decided to try new styles now. XD

And finally a case to keep them in. They're so easy to lose without good storage!

I got to see my boyfriend after many months appart, as he's in the army. It was only for the weekend, but it was lovely. He took me to a new japanese restaurant ran by a family from osaka! So their specialty was fried dishes like okonomiyaki, teppanyaki, yakisoba etc. It was great! And we looked in House of Fraiser.. I didn't know they stocked clarisonics!

After puppy eye-ing it for a while, my boyfriend bought me one! SO HAPPY I have been wanting one for over a year.

I've heared mixed reviews about them, but a lot of people who's blogs I follow swear by them. So!!

I've been using it everyday since the 5th. Twice a day.

My skin got really bad at first.. sooo many breakout! I have very very bad acne. (I'm on my 3rd treatment of accutane) but people warned of the initial breakouts. Today, I woke up with flatter skin, and the texture has improved a little. Just a little but that's good enough for me!! My breakouts are stilly pretty bad, but an improvement since the 5th. Got high hopes for this little gadget!

I hope to get the deep pore brush soon. (They didn;t stock that brush head.)

I also went to the drugstore. I keep checking for revlon colourburst lipcolour, as everyone raves about them.. England didn't stock any till last week! So happy to finally try one. I got cotton candy colour. It's pigmented enough to show up over my red lips. LOVE~

After seeing everbluec's drugstore haul, I really wanted to try some brushes. Barry M released a new range of brushes in drug stores recently. They're all very colourful and eyecatching, and quite reasonably priced.

But RUBBISH! So hard and stiff~~! Shouldn't have bothered. (Maybe I'm spoilt as my first ever 2 brushes were from shiseido, so i'm used to department store quality?) But it actually hurts my cheeks a bit. It, like, pricks the skin. Ouch!

The angled brush is OK it was cheap (£2~?) I bought it to try and do my eyebrows with, as I recently had them shaped but now they're quite thin, and I'm not really too sure how to do eyebrows generally, someone recomended a brush and eyeshadow. It was reealllyy hard to find a good colour. I wanted like, a dark ashey blonde colour, as I don't like brown, which the lady drew on for me. So i bought gold. LOL it's not too bad, you can't see it's metalic on the face.

Here's my fugly thin eyebrows! They're better than my old messey eyebrows, but i think the thin eyebrows look doesn't suit me.

In the photo the eyebrow colour actually looks pretty good! It seemed darker in person. Or maybe I'm just not yet used to it.

Here's half eaten okonomiyaki. Yum!

Left was kimchi, prawn and bacon with all the sauces and fish flakes on. I was too scared to try all that, mine is on the right, chicken and asparagus with cheese. But the toppings where actually good! Next time ^^

It's my brithday next wednesday, So my parents let me order some things in advanced and they shipped earlier than expected. Yay!

Shiseido is the only skincare that doesn't make my hideous acne worse. It doesn't help the acne, but it helps me not be oily and soothes it. It's expencive. XD but OMG sasa had the gel moisturiser and cleanser for only a 3rd of the price I usually pay! I paid £11 for the moisturiser, and £10 for the cleanser, when I usually pay £33 for the moisturiser, and £23 for the cleanser. SUCH A GOOD DEAL~~~ Shame they didn't have the mattyfing moisturiser or toner.. I only use the gel moisturiser in winter. Good to stock anyway!

Some MBD maks~ I've been wanted to try the earl grey tea one since release. So like a year ago?? Lol glad to finally get a box! I don't know why i didn't try the chocolate one >< stupid me.

The essential hair line I always hear raves about, so I wanted to try. Lately I've loved hair oils and leave in treatments, and they seem to last longer, so I thought I'd add it into the cart. IT DOESN'T SMELL GOOD LIKE PEOPLE SAY! So sad. I can't smell it at all! It doesn't smell bad, it just doesn't smell! I'm a fan for strong scents ahaha so this makes me sad.

The silk whitia I've heard some good reviews about on youtube, and the eye masks where buy one get one free, so good time to try! The accutane medicine has made my undereyes veeery dry. Can't wait to slap these on!

And a funky bath salt. Rose and grape! What an awesome sounding combo, my 2 fav scents!!

I've been trying different skincare but always go back to shiseido pureness. I've went through 3 full sized sets and 1 mini set of these potions now! The cleansers last for ever so I actually still have 3 cleansers. I dont know why i bought more. Purely because it was cheap ahaha

As you can see I need to get some more toner and moisturiser :P  onto the 4th set!

Shiseido pureness is just light hydration, without oilyness, with a little bit of anti imflamitory. (But not much.) It doesn't help acne but it's the best i've had so far ^^ for my over sensitive but acne prone, dry horrible flaky skin.

I've been trying to keep to the rule about throwing away your mascara after 3 months of using it.. It's really tough! Becuase even though we use mascara everyday it doesn't run out. But we have to take care of our eyes, so..

Switching from dolly wink long toooo

Majolica majorca!

I tried it for the firs time today, and I have a few black blotches under my eyes.. So not so good so far.. lengthens like a pro, though!!#

Girls, what's your favourite eye cream?? I'm still having troubles looking for one...!!

I got sent a pair of lenses to review from  www.geocolouredlenses.com!!  Very happy!

I made a video to review them, hope you can understand my accent!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFtJekEHQFQ&context=C4222141ADvjVQa1PpcFPOrWE75ez5q0nHcLHTItOqBP-dI-0OqVw=

They're really natural, everyone said "Wow I didn't realise how blue your eyes are!" PFF ahaha!

Excuse my messy brows! And the ginger is from dolly wink.. not natrually ginger! AHAA

But the lenses go with any make up! So I'm very happy.

I'm really hating the benzoyl peroxide cream.. I'm waiting to go on my 4th treatment of accutane so this is a must before -__- soo lame!

Anyway, I dyed my hair pink! Do any of you know about Camden market in London? It's where punky gothy cybery all those funky people go. I got a tub of hair dye! It's semi pernament. I love it but it was very un even! my frindge came out very pink, the rest less so. I covered my face because it looked a bit out of place. It's hard to think of make up to suit pink hair..

hehe. I like the parts where it's only tinted slightly pink.. reminds me of haribo milk bottles SO GOOD XD

I lately got a concealer from candy doll, as I haven't had a concealer in years.

It's pretty boring packaging but it looks nice next to all my other candy doll and dolly wink make up.

The concealer is very thick. It conceals pimples nice, but it's a bit too drying for my under eyes, i think.. Will stick to YSL highlighter for under eyes!

I like the doe foot applicator, clever! But as you can see it covers ok.  Pretty pleased. Will try other concealers before I re purchase.

It's my birthday on the 11th of April So my parents let me do some itnernet shopping.. best stress treatment EVER!!!!

I ordered some Liz lisa replicas from taobao, and some face masks. can't waaiit! And some new dolly wink lashes.

Here's my latest painting

It's about online identity etc. I'm trying to show it in a good way, as people usually shun people who play games and interact a lot online! My teacher didn't like it, because he strnogly believes you can't have friends online, and that games are unhealthy.. blah.. I really hate this course. I can't wait to go to university.. I'm studying CGI and animation!! I got into eevery university I applied to ^^ But a lot of the "better" universities feel cold and snobby.. still not sure which to chose.. The place I feel most comfortable at or the place that is considered the best? Oh well! I have a while until I have to decide.

Well, that's all for me! I should have some birthday haul posts soon~~ hehehe cant wait XD

These arrived todayy :D

I was debating a long time whether to bother with trying the lipstick. But it was sold out for a while on Adam beauty, when it got back in stock i bought it without thinking about it... ^^;

The powder is very fine and provides no coverage but a lovely matte finish. I like using this ontop of my BB creames as it doesn't cake or settle into my fine lines/pores. No scent. This is the powder without the shimmer in, wish I bought the one with shimmer, I might do later..

The lipstick is DARK! Well, darker than all the promotion images! I was expecting a baby pale pink and it's pretty dark! It looks nice on the lips and creates the image tsubasa always wears over lip concealer, but alone, it gives a deep colour.

It's exactly the same shade as my YSL lipstick on the lips..

The YSL shade looks a bit paler here..

But as you can see they're almost the same. Candy doll on the left, YSL 107 on the right. The candy doll is just one swipe, the YSL is 4.

So, candy doll has a better texture IMO than YSL. Ysl slips and slides on the lips and doesn't cover the lips. It's tooo buttery. And it's heavily scented. Candy doll sits on the lips nicer and isn't sceneted

I like the YSL scent but im mad at it because i've found a better dupe cheaper! But ofc the packaging is soo much prettier XD i'd rather whip out the YSL on the train to retouch. *vain* lol

Like my DS i (badly) decorated? LOL

You can see i got glue everywhere ahaha

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH

I AM SO MAD.

I wanted to curl my hair without heat.. so i went to go buy some hair rollers... I thought i'd be smart and buy them from the £1 store! to save money.

THEY WERE MADE WITH

REAL

VELCRO.

ARHGHFGH I COULDNT GET THEM OUT MY HAIR!!! I had to RIP my hair to get them out!! it took 3 hours, it was SOOO FREAKING PAINFUL! I cried so much. So many clumps of hair fell out. I tried using oils and such to get the rollers out, but they just wouldn't. It was like.. SUPER strong velcro, not the easy to take out kind from real rollers.

So.. I had to get my hair cut for the first time iin 3 years. So so sad. T_T (I'd cut it my self the years before)

It looks OK, but i just don't like my short hair. Bleh.

I'm smiling but I'm dead inside. =( LOL

As soon as I got home, i ordered extensions. ahaha. But they came in 22 inch long... super long. It looks strange against my short hair. I must learn how to put them in right or order more? I don't know. Blah. sooo sad.

Anyway, this morning, My dolly wink and Hadanomy collagen mist in the cute heart shaped bottle arrived!

Really love the eyeshadow so far! Recently I have only been into neutral colours.. I used to love really colourful eyes before. I've been using Bourjois trio eyeshadows for my neutral pallete but I like dolly wink a lot more. It blends on more smooth and is warmer in tone. I wish it was more shimmery lol might have to buy a MJMJpallete for a shimmery neutral i think ^^;

I bought the hadanomy mist because it said it's rose scented ahaha. I LOVE ROSE! It smells a little of roses. It's a neat facial spray!

I also ordered lots of Missha and skinfood BB creams! I've been using kiss me BB creams lately but I want to try some more suited for my skin. I got 12 samples of 4 different kinfs of BB creams from skinfood~ the Platinum grape one, cactus, aloe and mushroom. Really like the cactus algae one so far! And the real compelte Missha BB cream.  You get a lot of product in the samples!

I have been inactive lately because of so many university intrerviews. I got into all my top choices! Yay! I'm going to study CGI!

Anyway Sasa had a offer for only a $30 order to qualify for free shipping. YAY usually it's $100. There's another one this weekend hoping my mum will let me order some victory prizes for getting into uni ahaha

So for $30 I ordered some candy doll cosmetics!

I have a candy doll blusher in peach pink already, I use it everyday, I loove it, so I thought i'd try some others! The super pink blusher and cool toned highlighter =) and their lipgloss in macaroon pink.

They're wonderful but OH WOW THE PINK IS SO PIGMENTED. Barely touching it with my blusher brush gives me too much product! The highligheter and peach pink i usually have tp swipe a few times.

Hope I can get the biege highlighter and orange soon! Though I don't think I'd wear the orange too often. Orange used to be my favourite blush before, though

2 swipes of the highlighte and peach pink, one light swipe of the bright pink. They're not shimmery in person it's just my scales. LOL The highlighter is supposed to be shimmery but i don't really see it. *blind*

Also got a new pair of circle lenses! I really wanted some green ones even though I have green eyes. You can see my paler green eyes in the middle ahaha. No flase lashes so my makeup looks very boring. Also not enjoying the dolly wink mascara compared to kiss me.

They're geo angel colour in green. Love them! I bought them in London. They're a little more epxencive than online, but only by £3. Worth the instant shipping :P lol
