Haru's Random Thoughts: Missed Posting!

Hey Everyone!

It's been crazily busy with the sudden turn of events. So busy that I cannot even construct a decent review. And I am very well aware of my backlogs. Which is tons! 

Work had been really crazy since the start of this year, and for the past month, I've been working on 10-12 hours a day. Boo, no overtime pay. 

Then again, I'm also preoccupied with tons of non-work related stuff, which I can easily summarize in the following photos (all thanks to my iPhone. I don't have to bring that heavy camera around):

Majolica Majorca: Blood On Review

Hello! How have you been guys today? Right now, I'm feeling under the weather but with deadlines to keep, I can't just lay down and rest.  Besides, I'm on my vacation leave for 2 days next week. Woo!

Despite of me being under the weather, I had to put something on my face to make me look less sickly and tired, and more healthy. The item I shall be reviewing today is something I went crazy purchasing over. Imagine, I bought 4 of these items (while most, I have given away).

Majolica Majorca released a limited edition line last year. Apart from their usual mascara (Lash King) releases and a perfume, one of them was the Blood On lip and cheek tint. I heard a lot of good reviews, and I noticed how fast (considering the price) this went off the shelves of Majolica Majorca. So I got myself convinced to grab hold of one (plus three).

Charming packaging, isn't it?

Daiso/Saizen: Charcoal Face Mask Review

Prepare to be grossed out with today's post! *evil laugh*

I normally have crazes over certain products in any given period of time. I think I mentioned that I used to have a tint craze, milky tint craze, lippies that change color craze, facial wash craze, eye cream craze, make-up remover craze and concealer craze. But did I mention that I also underwent a blackhead remover craze?

Oh yes. I did. And one of my purchases was Saizen's (Daiso's) Charcoal Face Mask.

Majolica Majorca: Lash Expander Frame Plus Review

Hello! As of this writing, it's 2:35 AM of Nov. 4. Yeah, writing a review way too early for the next day. That's how dedicated I am. Kidding aside, I really can't sleep and what better way to spend my time but to catch up with backlogs. I know I've been posting so many random thoughts lately. I guess there's just a lot of things in my mind.

On to the review!

Mascaras intrigued me. How can some paint on the eyelash make any difference at all? I can understand concealers, eyeshadows, blushes and lip colors... But mascaras?

Until I met Majolica Majorca's Lash Expander Frame Plus.

And I even bought it less the price. Bonus!

Anime Review: Sword Art Online (SAO)

Hi everyone! Thanks to the vacation, I've been getting enough sleep. :)

Lately, I've watched anime again and I got so hooked! Thanks to my hubby for downloading me Sword Art Online.

Album Review: Today is a Beautiful Day by supercell

So here is my first Album Review and I will be reviewing supercell's second album 'Today Is A Beautiful Day' now this isn't a new album- in fact it was released last March 16, 2011 but keep in mind it doesn't matter how old or new a song or an album is because good music is good music no matter what the age.

Daiso/Saizen: Strap Minigloss - Rose

I just LOVE going to Saizen. Saizen (Daiso in Japan) is this huge mini-mart/convenience store that has all items cost at P85 (roughly $2.04). Think of it as a dollar store in the US. A lot of nifty stuff are sold in there that ranges from school supplies, toys and party favors, house decors and fixes, kitchen-related stuff (sometimes pans too!), food, accessories, and the like. It's very interesting to go there since you really don't know what to expect, and knowing Japanese, they are very creative and innovative.



But I won't be talking about the store today, but my cosmetic find there. Yes, they sell skin care and cosmetics too.

 Isn't it darn cute?

Shu Uemura: Depsea Moisture Replenishing Eye Gel Review

No, I have not overlooked the misspelled "Depsea". It says so in the packaging! See?

Now do you believe me?
