Red Lip Tint+ Pink Lip Gloss

Lately, I read a post about 'Ulzzang Gradient Lips' and I really want to achieve this look too, the gradient lips is when the inner of the lips is darker than the outside of the lips (this is what I got from the pictures anways), I actually don't have a lot of money to spend (I want to save up, until I get a job), so I might not buy the 'cute skirt' for now, because I bought some clothes a while ago, and my mum buys me clothes too and there will be sales after Christmas so I can buy one then.

I think if I buy a good quality Red Lip Tint and Pink Lip Gloss, it will cost between eight to ten pounds, its kinda expensive to buy stuff here, I probaly buy it from either Superdrug or Boots, as I have irriated skin and other problems, I don't want to buy cheap makeup and get an reaction.

I also have to purchase some makeup brushes, this is quite important actually, since I'm using a Clinique O2 Powder, it belonged to my mum but she has a different powder and I was using it before, so I think I will use it from now on, it gives a light shimmer and also covers the redness of my skin.

Luckily, for this Ulzzang Gradient Lips, I already have multiple lip balms, so I can save money on buying a new one, in future I might buy a Plum lip tint too~ not sure... we'll see how it goes, my makeup skills aren't great because I don't really wear much, but I am also thinking of getting black liquid eyeliner because it, I like the smokey eye makeup! and I already have dark eyeshadows, dark eyeliner colours (brown, grey (seems of gone missing but I know its here, It still has its wrapper on it :/) and black), I don't wear mascara because I don't like it that much and it also leaves marks on my glasses (I have really poor eyesight --0-0-- (that's meant to be like glasses) :(

Okay, anyways I'm going to go back to finishing my homework and then I'm going to re-arrange all my posters, my friend is also giving me an X Japan one, so I'll have to select a picture for the poster,  my mum has already prepared a really scrummy lunch of curry, rice, goujons (like breaded chicken or pork, today I'm having pork and it's not too hard or chewy), I really like this kind of food, hopefully my mum hasn't made it too spicy, this is one of the reasons why I love Japanese curry, my favourite flavour is the Apple one, it comes in really cute packaging, I think its made for children, that's what I used to eat and I'm going to fill my house with them when I'm older.

~X Japan Fan Cafe~

I'm going to sound like a real fangirl here right now but oh well.

Last year, I went back to Hong Kong and my auntie Victoria (on my mum's side) had cut out places to go in Hong Kong, I noticed one of the advertisements, the logo of 'X' of X Japan was on it, I was like 'Hey, isn't this X Japan?' and my auntie said 'Yes' and she asked if I would like to go.

Of course, I couldn't hold my excitement (I wasn't as big of a fan as I am now) anyways, the little cafe was located in Yuen Long, Hong Kong if I remember correctly, it was hidden away and we got lost (my auntie called the shop owner to get directions), it was fairly dark inside but the walls there were framed photos/concert posters of X Japan, the tables two of them had Yoshiki and hide images, it was really great, sadly I didn't see this until I was walking out of the cafe, I can't remember what I drank, hot chocolate probaly.

The images on each of the tables were so nicely chosen and presented, the owner actually seemed a very shy kind of person, not exactly the stereotypical rocker kind of person, but he did a great job.

The best part was the X logo on the coffee machine, I even think Heath, Sugizo, Toshi, Pata, Yoshiki, Taiji and hide would all be very honoured if they could see it!

I guess this band is old and the members are a lot older than me, but I have a lot of respect for them and I also really enjoy their music, BUT I do like some younger bands (I mean that they are closer to my age) like An Cafe, SuG, Versailles but I also love Gackt... I <3 the song Ghost... it's such a funky song with robot dances but a weird PV, a caretaker mopping glass up? lol

Okay that's it for now~ take care~ check out the next part of Prince&Princess too.

~Today~

Today, I was at my friend's house, her name is Hannah, we had a really good time together, two of my friends also came Gabriela and Toby and we were playing on the guitar, piano and ukulele and well I sang badly to Tears and Endless Rain, shame....I obviously can't sing any of X's songs because Toshi's voice is too good, anyways Hannah liked the songs, I love the piano intro of Endless Rain because it's so beautiful and the lyrics of Tears is like a poem, I think I've said this before? >.<

I eat McDonalds for lunch + Sprite but it's the last day of school before the summer holidays, so I just went kinda crazy, I also had some kinda chocolate and happy hippos, its really yummy~!

I'm a little kid for liking to eat chocolate and chips and burger but I'm gonna stop soon also tomorrow I'm going to have a BBQ with my family, it's gonna be good fun if the rain doesn't spoil it but it's not meant to rain.

Anyways, I'm gonna leave with a song for everyone, 'Born To Be Free' by X Japan, enjoy~!

Take care, enjoy your day and happy summer holidays :D

☆彡1 Year Passing of Taiji Sawada (X Japan member)☆彡

Note: If you don't like sad topics, in a bad mood or don't feel you want to feel unhappy please skip this post. Sorry. ☆⌒(*^-ﾟ)ﾉ~♪see you again♪~ヾ(ﾟ-^*)⌒☆

Death is a sad thing, a lot of songs have been created surrounding this topic but I feel that sometimes, no matter how long a person is gone, the heart, soul and mind will never heal, because the person that is gone, is someone you loved, cared and cherished for~ BUT no matter, how bad you feel, always must remember that person doesn't want you to be sad because there no longer here. Please also remember this is soley just my opinion too.

Well this is post is dedicated to Taiji Sawada, who sadly passed away last year, he had commited suicide after being arrested, he attempted suicide using the bed sheets in his cell, he hung himself, which left him brain dead and on life support, the truth is this is really sad and it makes me feel sad, that even if he did something for being arrested, was attempting suicide really neccessary, his fiancee and mother switched off his life support machine.

I hope he watches over X Japan, when watching the 'Endless Rain' MV, its quite to sad to think two people in that MV are no longer here, I don't say there not part of my life's as they are, I still listen to their music, watch interviews and try to learn more about X Japan, there music can relieve my anger, 'dry my tears with love' and make me laugh with their goofy, shy and kind gentlemans that X Japan are.

Death or losing someone, can really a kill a person, a person can feel lost and lose the feeling of living, instead they feel, they are just there physicially, but not mentally~

Tears by X Japan

This song, the lyrics, it brings so much emotion and depth, this song will touch your heart for sure. The song is composed by Yoshiki. It is a rock ballad but don't be fooled by it's super soft opening at the beginning wait until Toshi opens his mouth, places the microphone to his lips and sings the first few lines 'doko ni yukebaii etc...' you might not know Japanese but carry on listening until you reach it's powerful chorus which is also sung in english parts of it at least, ' Dry Your Tears With Love x2 Loneliness Your Silent Whisper, Fills A River Of Tears etc...' Toshi sings this song in all its glory and does it for six minutes WOW.

Toshi's voice is extremely beautiful, he can sing two octaves higher than an average male singer which allows him to sing even female songs well too, he eases into the high-pitched parts of Tears with ease, compared to other male singers who hit high notes, that I find it extremely uncomfortable and hard to listen too.

BUT Toshi makes it more than okay, more than tolerable, that's one of the reasons why I like X Japan's music because Toshi's voice is special, it's not squealy or high-pitched or you get the point!

This song always brings me to tears, maybe because Yoshiki wrote about his father, maybe because their are fanvids displaying hide pictures/videos in it.

Anyways, other songs of X Japan, that should be recommended too 'Endless Rain' 'Jade' 'Born To Be Free' my favourite songs, the latter two if I remember correctly are English songs, so if your like me who has minimal Japanese language vocabulary or prefer songs with English words, plus Yoshiki has some awesome drumming skills in the opening of Jade. So please check it out and let me know.

WE ARE X~!!! :D
