SUMMER FESTIVALS!

In Japan, there are these festivals called "OMATSURI" a summer festival. Many girls wear Yukata's to this event.  a yukata is sorta like a kimono but for the summer. I recently bought one and I will be wearing it in the upcoming local festivals....I will post the whole outfit soon, but for a sneak peak...

stop making me blush =P

What is one make-up product that Japanese girls can't live without??.....ya you'd think it would be false lashes rite? BUT it's not...IT IS actually BLUSH! that is seriously what makes those Japanese girls get that innocent super cute kinda look! I swear....it's truly magic.
The blush colors that are sold in Japan are incredibly different compared to Vancouver. Working at a cosmetic store where I used to play around with all sorts of colors, I'd almost say the color "desire" from NARS comes close (true pink)............BUT not really........................ the blushes are like transparent pigments! though they look like solid pink colors, when you put them on it blends into the skin. The end result: it looks as if we produced that blushed look ourselves! Currently the best rated blush is this one from CANMAKE: approx 8 dollars canadian




 blend both the colors with a blush brush to get a more prismatic look!


teehee!!
