This is mostly about makeup.

uiscerosI went to Boston today to find the Adidas store, and goddamn thing is gone. Like, they're turning the building into a bank. Would have been nice if they'd updated their website so I would have known, and not driven an hour and a half (and gotten lost) for no reason. The next closest store is in NYC... four hours away.
On the plus side, I went to Lush, and replenished my stash of Flying Fox shower gel (undoubtedly the best smelling stuff in the world... Jasmine to the nth degree). I do think it's made differently here, because my bottle from Taiwan has a totally different consistency. We'll see how I like it (btw, Lush is EVERYWHERE in Taiwan... weird). I also bought Retread conditioner, which the saleslady recommended for my hair. My hair is an enigma, it's dry and fine (which makes it hard to find a conditioner, because heavy duty ones usually weight my hair down). I've been using an AWESOME conditioner I bought in Taiwan, but it's almost gone. Seriously, that stuff is amazing. Apparently my hair likes products made for Asian hair (I think it's because my hair is a lot finer than typical Caucasian hair).
IN OTHER NEWS...
I'm thinking of doing more 2NE1 eyelooks. I've been looking over the videos, and a lot of them look do-able. Since I can't afford/find a lot of the fashions they wear, makeup is the next best thing :D
Also, I'm pretty sure I found the silver accent lashes CL is wearing in the "Try to Copy Me" video. You know, these ones:
I was certain they had to be Shu Uemura lashes. Shu Uemura cosmetics aren't nearly as popular in the US as they are in Asia, which is sad, since the line has some gorgeous things. The brand's trademark product is their eyelash curler, which is apparently divine. I want one badly. They're also known for their AMAZING false eyelashes. Most of them are non synthetic, and beautiful. There's also a line of fantasy and premium lashes which can be crazy, but also ridiculously gorgeous (I am so so so in love with these lashes.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure these are them. If not, they're a damn good substitute. I'm willing to bet they are though. Anyone remember episode 10 of YG TV? Seung Ho and CL were at Shu Uemura in Tokyo, and picked up a bunch of lashes.
Remember CL holding these up to the camera?
Park Bom and Minji's lashes are pretty natural looking, so they could be anything. Dara wears a particularly pretty pair of lashes here that I'm still trying to find, and CL wears these long feather lashes which are gorgeous (and I also can't find them yet).
I wish I were a Kpop star just so I could wear some of the awesome makeup looks they rock IRL. I would wear these every single day if I could.

Date: 2011-07-07 05:38 am (UTC)this site has something similar to the black feather eyelashes that CL is wearing (not exact match. CL's feather lashes are definitely shorter) http://falseeyelashessite.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=28&products_id=299
^ that site also has lots of other crazy and pretty eyelashes, and a lot of them are shu uemura EXACT DUPES, but waaay cheaper. probably same manufacturer or something.
