makeup.

I tried a different way of applying eye makeup. :D

Now, I don't consider myself at all good with applying makeup - I haven't even found a foundation that suits my skin colour - but I do like to play around with it. I thought perhaps I'd go for a 'cute' kind of look, because I don't think I've been thought of as 'cute' for a long time. xD 

Of course, the level of cuteness is subjective, but for someone whose makeup skill is 0/10, I think I did okay.

Really I just wanted an excuse to pretty myself up and try on the dress I bought from Bodyline whilst on my travels. Alas my lack of camera/photographer/adequate lighting makes for really crappy shots, but hey, selca can hardly be considered art anyway, right?

That pic up there. ^ I gave it my best shot, I really did.

Sadly cuteness is not something that comes naturally to me. However, looking dorky, creepy or spaced out...do.

Maybe one day when I perfect my technique I can start doing tutorials and things, but until then you can have lots of pics of my ugly mug. :3

Oh, and I did these glasses myself. Got a pair of old 3D glasses I know I'll never use again (call me old-fashioned, but I can't stand 3D movies) and popped the lenses out. Cover with glue and sprinkle a bag of seed beads over it, and voila! A funky new pair of glasses to (maybe) wear (someday).

Maybe I'll try adding other things next time, like bigger beads or other ornaments.

shibuya, meiji-jingu, harajuku.

Although my waifu is somewhat averse to shopping for girly things, he indulged me and took me shopping in Harajuku and Shibuya. Of course, we also took a quiet walk around Yoyogi park (albeit a very small part of it) and Meiji-jingu.

birthday.

Ah, it's been a while since my last post. I had honestly intended to do a birthday post, and then a Christmas one, yet New Year's eve is upon us now... It's time to catch up!

My birthday fell on a Sunday this year. Traditionally, whatever happens to me on the 27th of November tends to be rather unpleasant. I did not even enjoy my 21st! However this year I was quite content. My waifu took me out to dinner and wasted $200 on our stomachs. D:

This was my dessert - a chocolate caramel torte with hazelnut cream and a miniature espresso milkshake. SO GOOD.

A few days later, I received something wonderful in the mail from my princess, Lullaby~

I am so in love with this gift wrap. I actually couldn't bring myself to discard it, so I kept it~ 

Anyway...the contents of this beautifully wrapped package?

Ta-da~

A tiered cupcake stand! Funnily enough I had been wanting to get one of these for a while now. Ah, Lullaby, how can you read my heart so well? |D

A little while after that, I received yet another generous parcel! This time it was from Nocturne and Requiem! When I unwrapped the packaging I really wanted to squeal >u<

This Bodyline number is officially my first proper lolita outfit.

I'm a big fan of wa-lolita. How did you guys know? *A* (Am I that easy to read?)

Sadly, I couldn't get a proper full-body shot with my short arms...but above is a picture of me trying. 

And of course, there's one with my face in it. :3

Thank you so much guys! Love you lots~
