oday I received the top I ordered from Swivelle two day ago. This is the second time I'm ordering from Swivelle and as usual, excellent and speedy customer service. I didn't expect to receive it today at all! Usually other livejournal blogshops will mail the items out 1-3 days after payment, but Swivelle is different (: Out of the many blogshops I've made purchases from, they definitely emerge top for quality service!



I love how they hand-write my name on the card. It makes me feel so loved and special as a customer! ♥ Will definitely purchase from their future collections! I got the Tracy-Reese Inspired Knitwear in Nautical Blue after much consideration since I was really tempted to get it in Candy Red too!



I really love their self-manufactured label (I bought the Eve of Love Frock in Grape Sherbet previously, which is their own label as well). The quality of this knitted top is amazing, as stated in the description! It's really soft and comfortable. This is one of the best purchases I've ever bought online. It's super versatile and can be matched with anything for different looks and occassion. Definitely a worthy investment (: I've always liked striped tops, but was afraid horizontal stripes might make me look fatter than usual, so I bought this top without hesitation, because it isn't easy to come across a top with vertical stripes (which gives the illusion of a slimming effect)! Mad love for this top, it's definitely going to be my most-worn top in the future!

I have so much to write about! But due to school work, I kept procrastinating blogging and all I wanted to blog about snow-balled, so I decided to only write down the more recent events T_T If I have time, I would definitely write about my first trip to a flea market and the awesome deals I got! Hence for now, I would just blog about 18th Birthday and diamond lash review.

My 18th birthday was the first birthday I've spent with friends (partially). Usually I just spend the entire day at home, or with my family (eg. dinner and cake). This year, my friends and I went to a kbox, and it was a great time, if not for my hurting tooth ): Didn't snap any photos cause kbox has poor lighting OTL

After being scolded by my dad during pick-up, we went to Momoya for their dinner buffet. $32/adult! My sis was treating, but it was so expensive my heart kinda ached. But the food was super good! I ordered plates, after plates of sashimi!





Tako, Salmon, three other fish, and amaebi (sweet shrimp)! I love amaebi the most because it's so sweet and fresh! I kept finishing it, and my parents were complaining that I eat too fast, so I got an entire platter all to myself! *muahahaha!*



Doesn't it look so tantalizing? OMG, looking at it, I'm hungry again :/



Their tempura was so-so. I only ate one ebi and that was about it. Oily food fills me fast in buffer, so... AVOID!



*nom nom*



I must eat tofu for every single japanese buffet I go to!



Their cold cha soba was EXTREMELY good, their hot one was so-so.



My ice-cream buffet cake, after the buffet! *dies* I gained three kg after my birthday /sad



Thank you all for your gifts! :3

I received quite a lot of make-up products this birthday (speaks volume), so I decided to try out Josie's gift to me first.



Products I'm using today!



She got me Too Faced Glamour to Go Fairy Edition (I love pretty packagings and fairies!). It was a compact with 8 different shades of eyeshadows, one lip gloss/cream, a blusher, and a bronzer. I tried out contouring today, but imho, I think it's quite fail, so don't flame me about it, LOL! Everybody's learning each day!



Super excited to try out Diamond Lashes (Glamour Eyes) for the first time, heard wonderful raves about it online! I initially got it for Josie, but I think it's too drama for her eyes, so I'm keeping it and using it for myself. Best decision in my life. This pair of lashes are indeed the best I've ever used. NO KIDDING!



Cute case to keep them inside after using!

The lashes came pre-glued, and the glue used was good! I didn't need to apply my own coat of glue to apply them at all! Holding power was awesome. To show how drama these wonderful lashes are, I wore them only on one eye. See the difference?



I usually don't show photos while I'm still incomplete with make-up (cause usually I conceal for the second time) cause of my horrible dark eye circles. Please don't focus on them, the lashes are the main star in that photo!

FYI: I'm wearing clear contacts.

See how drama these lashes are? Perfect for any occassion as it doesn't feel heavy at all, and still looks rather natural! I usually don't cut lashes cause I think it's a shame, but the truth is, I have no idea how to cut it without making it look like crap.

MY VERDICT ON DIAMOND LASH (GLAMOUR EYES)
Affordability: 4/5 - It's $22.90 for 5 pairs! I got this off a pre-order spree, and I really think it's worth it because they look so gorgeous! Moreover, compared to other Japanese brands which only comes with 2 pairs for around the same price, I think this is super worth it!
Easily obtained?: 2/5 - NO! Not at all. It's difficult to purchase online without getting conned of shipping fees etc. I should have begged a friend overseas in Japan to get me more!
Ease of usage: 4.5/5 - Comes pre-glued and easily fit the shape of my eye, without cutting!
Dramatic and Length: 5/5 - Look at the photos, need I say more?
Re-purchase?: A BIG BIG YES! I'll stock them up the next time I come across them.

Final: 4.5 / 5

I'm super happy that I've found the perfect lashes! THE SEARCH IS OVER!

FOTD;
