Hey cutie ♡ 你好小可爱! I’m back with one of my favourite posts to write – my recent gets! This will be very short and sweet because I have to get ready for work soon~

Hey cutie! How are you? ♡ Yep, a bit of a late night post for me but I’m currently going through all of my makeup and accessories to see what things need replacing… And it turns out, there’s quite a lot (￣▽￣*)ゞ I’m going to buy everything slowly though and doing lots of research beforehand, but here are the other things that I bought recently ♡
These are my dream lower lashes – I used to wear them all of the time back in maybe 2014, but haven’t been able to find them again until now! So you’ll be seeing me wear these a lot in future!
April sheet mask roundup ☆
ad – post includes items given to me from Masktime ♡
Hey cutie! How are you? ♡ I received a lovely pack of sheet masks from the ever-so-wonderful 
Masktime 
(who you might have seen me mention a lot over on this blog) so I thought I’d do a lil’ sheet mask roundup for this month.
Here’s my unboxing that I did over on my tiktok! 
Spring Gets ☆ Liz Lisa, Popteen + Hello Kitty!
Hey cutie! How are you? ♡ It’s officially been over a year since the UK went into lockdown and since I started doing online shopping to fill the void („ಡωಡ„) I’ve been having a really stressful week but yesterday my package from Japan arrived which really cheered me up! Here’s what I bought ♡
Sheet Masks + A New Self Care Routine!
Hey cutie! How are you? A couple of posts ago I mentioned that I haven’t been doing very well because I find myself constantly exhausted. This made me feel really down because I didn’t have the energy to do the things that I enjoy on the weekends (making YouTube videos, dressing up, etc etc). Lately, however, I’ve been trying to pick myself up again by remembering to take breaks at work, and wearing sheet masks in the evenings/weekends again! The sheet masks I want to talk about in this post were kindly given to me by MaskTime – who I absolutely ADORE – and I’ll also write some quick bullet points about each mask with pros and cons!
That Time I Hiked Up Mt Fuji (Kind Of)
Hey cutie! How are you today? So the other weekend my husband and I climbed up Mt Fuji!!!!!
Haha, just kidding.
Yes, unfortunately, because of lockdown we have to put our Japan and South Korean travel plans on hold… But thank goodness Arigato Japan exists because we were able to go on a virtual tour of Mt Fuji with them! It was incredibly educational; Jordan, our guide, was so knowledgeable and incredibly patient (and I’m surprised he didn’t look at me strangely as I was basically a burrito in a blanket haha).
(BTW – I guess this is kind of a “gifted” post????? We did our tour for free in return to do a survey buuuut I wanted to write this blog post so I don’t know what the technicalities are for that haha soz).
Recent GETS, casual winter co*de and D&D gift swap!
Hey cutie! How’re you? My eczema has been really bad this past week so I haven’t been able to wear any makeup 😭 so I’ve decided that I’m not going to doll up until Christmas day (as I’d be so upset if I had a flare up on Christmas morning!)
Anyway, today I had a little meet up in the park with my friends where we exchanged our secret santa gifts. We play D&d every week so decided to do a D&d theme!
Recent GETS! A/W Himekaji Haul!
Hey cutie! How are you? This is just going to be a super quick post today because I want to share with you my recent himekaji haul. If you haven’t seen it, I wrote in a previous post that I want to persue my dreams of being a himekaji gyaru and my goal this winter is to be cute and fluffy! So I decided that I needed to buy some new things to get me through the winter, but I made sure that each item is super versatile and can be worn in many ways (because I can’t afford to get an entirely new Liz Lisa wardrobe *sobs*).
Otsukai Review! Super Gals Merchandise
I am so happy I could cry – I finally have my hands on some Gals merchandise! Gals (aka Super Gals) is my gyaru bible and as soon as I saw Mihona Fuji, the creator of the manga, tweet that there would be a pop-up store to celebrate the manga’s return I knew I had to get my hands on some of the merchandise. It wasn’t until I found out about Otsukai, an online proxy service, that my dreams of getting them would come true! This would be the first time I’ve used a proxy service so I thought I’d write a little blog post about it and to spread the good word. So here’s my Otsukai review!
The Best Sheet Mask Subscription Box For K-Beauty Lovers!
Ad – pr sample, read my disclaimer for more information.
Every Wednesday (for the past year or so) I’ve dedicated to spending a couple of hours in the evening chilling out with a sheet mask. The routine isn’t simply just to improve my skin but also my mental health, and it gives me something to look forward to during the work week! Over the past month or so I’ve been going through Mask Time’s “Glow Setter” subscription box, and here’s my review of all of the sheet masks I tried (and why it’s perfect for Korean beauty and skincare lovers!).
Kawaii Box Review: Kawaii Birthday Home Party (+ Giveaway!)
Ad – this post includes gifted items. Read my disclaimer for more info.
Did you know it’s been 6 years since Kawaii Box first launched? They’ve been shipping monthly boxes ever since, full to the brim with kawaii goodies straight from Japan and so this month’s box is all about having a kawaii birthday party at home. I’ve been really looking forward to this one as they have an exclusive Kawaii Box handbag included, which has a super cute pattern on it, so here’s my review! (And there’s also a giveaway for you at the bottom of the post…)
Papillon Magazine Vol 2: Gal’s Guide to Gyaru!
Yaaay the second issue of Papillon magazine has now been released, this time it’s all about helping beginners get into the world of gyaru (a topic especially close to my heart)! The gyaru community has been eagerly anticipating this moment after a very successful first volume, so let’s have a tiny peek on what’s inside…
Shining Bright: Lashine False Lashes Review!
ad – contains gifted items. Read my disclaimer for more info
Lashes are a huge part of the gyaru makeup, although sadly they are harder to get your hands on nowadays (well, ones that are dramatic for our gyaru looks in any case!). I’ve been trying my best to experiment with non-branded ones, so I was really intrigued by what they had at Lashine and decided to give them a go. So here’s my review on the false lashes I received!
Moments with Molang
*ad: includes gifted items. Read my disclaimer for more info.
Lockdown is… Kind of lonely. I keep caving in and buying unnecessary things just so that I have something to look forward to, but I really do miss hanging out with my friends. Luckily Molang sent me a lil’ plushie to keep me company, and while it’s not the same as having bubble tea with my favourites, oh my gosh I love it so much! It is so squishy and soft and I haven’t stopped cuddling it since. I decided to do an outfit inspired by this kawaii character (after having so much fun doing a Cinnamoroll-inspired one last year).
Hydration, Baby! Why this Sheet Mask Works Wonders for Eczema
*ad: this post contains gifted items. Read my disclaimer for more info
My skin has been AWFUL lately. Over the weekend I started to develop a lot of dry/crackling patches, which I’ve been trying to keep at bay with a lot of moisturiser. This is the main reason why I was so eager to try this Missha Mascure Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask (they don’t make the names simple, do they?) as it specialises in those with problem skin (specifically dry skin).
I received this sheet mask as a gift from MaskTime, which was included within the “Glow Setter” subscription box. I have both bought and received masks from MaskTime in the past, and I’m 100% honest when I say that they are my go-to company for buying Korean masks. They are a small business based in the UK which makes it incredibly convenient for me and also provide amazing service! Anyway, onto the mask review…
