perfecting the arch

What does it take to create that perfect arch? Is it your brush, the natural shape of your eyebrows, or maybe you are already gifted with having a very plentiful brow.  Whatever your answer may be, I have recently discovered the perfect product for my eyebrows! If you have ever have the pleasure of visiting Japan, you must check out ranKing ranQueen store. 

ranKing ranQueen in Shibuya 

They carry all the top ranking beauty products that you can think of.  The two products I bought were an eyebrow pencil and a liquid eyeliner.

What I love about the eyebrow pencil is that it has both pencil and liquid contents...and yes it's waterproof!! Because it comes with both pencil and liquid, it helps to create a more natural look!  And creating that perfect arch has never been easier!

What's your secret weapon?  If you care to share, we would love to know!!

Japan Fashion Haul!

Last week I had the lovely excuse of going to Tokyo/Saitama for work and decided to hop onto an earlier train to go shopping for a couple of hours. I was walking around in my suit and though it was such a pain to try on clothes, I still did it!

I think I even wrinkled my crisp new white blouse in the process BUT it was totally worth it! 

This is my FIRST JAPAN HAUL! (post)

(pardon moi, for the awful layout!)

The highlight of this haul is my recent discovery of this boutique brand called E hyphen world gallery.(link to online store) Little did I know that they have stores in Hong Kong and Singapore too! The prices for their pieces are incredibly reasonable considering how well they are made. 

e hyphen world gallery:

mint green off-the-shoulder knit - perfect slouch (that's always my battle with off-the-should garments). 

coral neon stripped top with the cute small pocket has buttons on the sleeves and it zips up in the back! love the detailing - I will definitely do an outfit post on this one.

NOW for some candy -- ARM CANDY that is!

3 coin

These shoes were only 315 yen! that:s about 4 dollars usd! cute hey?

Let me know what your recent great purchases are!

fashion feed JAPAN!

Change is scary....good or bad it makes your heart skip a beat.

that has been doing a lot these days because I recently quit my job to find new and better opportunities! Mostly to get out of the suburbs to move toward fashion central a.k.a TOKYO! I can't disclose what kind of interview I went to but this was the outfit I wore:

stud shirt/ #Zara
puff skirt/ #club monaco
pumps/ #Christian Louboutin
jewelry/ #H&M

My inspiration? 

Well here is where I'm going to give you the current 

fashion feed in Japan:

studs, studs and more studs!

You find them on t-shirts, ripped-jeans, blouses, shorts, shoes, sandals you name it!!! It's awesome! Why? Because I love that rocker-chic look, if I was to describe my fashion style, that would be the closest word.

If YOU had to describe your fashion style in one word, WHAT WOULD IT BE???
