Daiso Haul #1~! Make Up, Bath Bomb & More~ ♡

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Hello everyone~! (=゚ω゚)ノ



Today I decided that, since I've been shopping at Daiso for a year now, I should make a post about a few of the cool things I regularly buy from there and also some cool things I find there and buy randomly~! Because it'd be fun to share my experience with you all so you know what Daiso is like and some of the cool stuff you too can find there~ ♡

 ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

For those of you who don't know what Daiso is, it is a large store chain that originated in Japan~! ☆〜(ゝ。∂) It sells a wide variety of items from macha tea to make up wipes and ear muffs to toy guns~! Probably the greatest thing about this store though, is that everything is only $2.80~! (It various around the world due to conversion differences between the worth of each countries dollar I think but in Australia, it's $2.80) ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

I go to Daiso.. More than I probably should~! Although it's cheap, it quickly stacks up to be a somewhat expensive trip sometimes~ (⌒-⌒; ) I have 5 Daiso stores around where I live (Melbounre eastern suburbs) so temptation to go is always somewhat high and getting to one is pretty easy~! (^◇^)When I got into the Melbourne CBD, there are 3 stores~! When I go to my best friends house, there is a store 10 minutes away at Chadstone~! (≧∇≦) So lucky for me, Daiso has not only become a store I can shop at to buy cute accessories, but also a place where I can get necessities and groceries~! ☆彡

Anyway, let's get started on the first of my many Daiso hauls to come~! ヾ(@⌒0⌒@)ノ

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

1. Powder Foundation~ ♡


Ever sincere first time I visited Daiso last year in August, I have been buying and using this powder~! (^ω^) It comes in a variety of skin tones and is very good quality make up for only $2.80~ 



It comes as a compact with a sponge, but I prefer to use that sponge for my liquid foundation, and use a brush for my powder~ (^◇^;)

2. Blush~ ♡


I only just bought this particular blush this time around and so far I'm surprised as to how much I like it~! (o^^o) I'd previously been using another blush from Daison but with a brush, this one however, comes in a compact with a sponge~!



I didn't think it's be any good when I realized it wasn't a brush but it's actually great~! ヽ(;▽;)ノ 

I do still prefer the brush, but I can deal with this sponge one until next time~ Plus the compact is adorable so that helps~! (^◇^)

3. Ear Muffs~ ♡


Every since I saw these gorgeous things hanging up on the mirror in my best friend's room, I have wanted these~! (((o(*゚▽゚*)o))) As I am going to Japan soon and my flight leaves in the chilly Melbournian evening, I've been trying to put a warm yet perfectly cute outfit to wear~! And these seriously complete it~ ☆彡


They're warm, they're fairly flexible, they're pink and fluffy, really they're just perfect for cute cold weather coords~! ヾ(@⌒ー⌒@)ノ

4. 3D Deco Stickers~ ♡


Another thing I also noticed in my gorgeous best friend's room was that the one thing in her room that's dark (Like in mine, it's the TV) was brightened up with cute 3-Dinentional stickers of cakes, lollies, ice cream a and more~! *・゜゚・*:.。..。.:*・'(*゚▽゚*)'・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*  I'd been trying to make my TV blend with my room for years so I just had to replicate her brilliant idea~! ☆〜(ゝ。∂)



The packets come with 5 different cute 3D deco stickers that are all adorable~! The backs have a peel off thing before it gets sticky, like a bandaid~! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ



I've completely covered my TV with them~! ヽ(;▽;)ノ

5. Make Up Wipes~ ♡



I wear make up a lot so of coarse I have to be readily stocked up with these glorious inventions~! 


This pack comes as one but contains 2 separate packs inside with 35 wipes in each~! To make this even better, they're actually great at removing make up~! (^_^)☆

6. Car Bath Bomb~ ♡ (My favourite buy)


I just died when I saw these in the store~! This is the first time I've noticed them in Daiso and I just had to have it because I love baths and cute cars~! ヾ(@⌒ー⌒@)ノ 


Unsure what it is~? It's a bath bomb (It is a ball that fizzes up and makes your bath smell pretty~!) that fizzles up and inside is a little toy car~! o(^▽^)o Cute, huh~!



It is orange scented but not flavoured~ Yes I tasted it, for science~! (^◇^;) And upon first glance, it looks like a regular bath bomb~! 



I originally got it for my boy friend, so we watched it fizzle together~! (=´∀`)人(´∀`=)


There are 3 different colour cars you can get~! And we got~~~



き〜!Yellow~! 


He is so cute~ (o^^o)

7. Falsies~ ♡



It's no secret that I'm a huge falsie fan~! But with a cosplay coming up of which is in need of bottom lashes, I actually had to have these~! And if you're curious as to which cosplay I am using these for, here's a very obvious hint~

It's Sailor Moon~! Hehe~ ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆


I hate putting on bottom lashes but these look and feel easy to apply~! The packaging is great too~

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

So, that wraps up my first Daiso Haul blog post~! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ If you have any questions about any of these items, want to know if Daiso sells something in particular or want me to reword a product from there, feel free to leave a comment and I'll do my best to help~! ♡

 ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it~! ☆〜(ゝ。∂)
See you next time~! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ♡

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu in Sydney, Australia~! ♡

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Hello everyone~! 

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

On the 23rd of March, I lived the most amazing day of my life~ It was the day of Kyary's performance in Sydney~! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・✧*:・✧ It was so wonderful, so I thought I'd share the story of my experience~ ♡


☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

It all started on Saturday the 22nd of March at 6am~! I had to get up really early so that I could drive with my mum from my home in Melbourne to Sydney~ We left at 7:30am~ I was drinking Fanta all day trying to stay awake with sure~!

 

We stopped a few times to have a look in some towns~! First we stopped at Glen Rowan, where Ned Kelly was shot in his last stand~! Pamyu got a photo from the car~

 

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

We got to Sydney at 5:30pm~! The roads were fucking terrible~ But the hotel was lovely~! It was under a kilometer awei from The Roundhouse, which is where Kyary was performing~ ♡


 I'd never been to Sydney before, so I was nervous as to how people there would look at me~ But no one seemed too bothered by it~! So I felt confident~ This is what I wore:


That night, we had Subway for dinner~! 


 Pamyu and I got extra pickles~! Pickles are the best~

The man working there told me that I looked like Sailor Moon~! It was cute~ I guess I can see where he was coming from~ Maybe~! 

 

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

 I found out on twitter on Saturday that Kyary was gonna be on Sunrise on Sunday at 10am, so I went to sleep pretty early so that I could get up early and get ready to go there early~ I got up at 6am again~! 

 

I was so excited to be going to Sunrise to see Kyary~ I kept crying because I was both happy and really nervous~ But I managed to get dressed and ready, and was there by 9am~! This was my outfit that I made specifically for the concert, but I wore it for Sunrise too~ (=゚ω゚)ノ I made the outfit that Kyary wore for her live perfmamce at Budokan in 2012 when she flew over the stage and crowd as a fairy~! ♡

 

I made it all myself, including the wings and bow~! It didn't take long~ Only 3 days~! It is my favourite Kyary costume / cosplay that I've made~! I love it~ ♡

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

 I didn't plan to go with anyone, so it was just me and Pamyu~ I was nervous so i held her tight~! But it turned out that I had nothing to worry about~! I made friends right away~! A girl named Natasha and a boy named Yass came up to me for photos, then we became friends and even met up later for the concert~ Later at the window I made even more friends~ Nick, Annalisa and Tamsin~! They were all lovely~ We all were pressed right up against the glass of the studios too so we were front row to Kyary~!


We waited at the glass for about 40 minutes, and then finally.. Kyary appeared~!!



Her and her dancers performed Fashion Monster 3 times~ We couldn't hear it very much, but we sang along~! During this time, a member Sunrise came out to the plaza and told us that the loudest, craziest and best dressed fans would win prizes~! So we all went crazy, singing, yelling, dancing and going all out for Kyary~! ♡
 
☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

After the performance, everyone rushed for the doors because Kyary would be coming out of them later~ As I was walking to them with my new friends, the lady from Sunrise approached me and gave me a CD~ At first I was confused~! But I was then told I had one for being one of the loudest, craziest and best dressed fans~! I almost burst into tears~ Then I noticed that IT WAS SIGNED BY KYARY~! So it was even harder to hold back tears but I did it~! 

After I got the CD, lots of people wanted photos, including my friends~! I got photos with the other winner too~ Doesn't he look fantastic~!?


I also caught up with people who know me from Instagram, Cameron and Micheal~!


Yass photo bombed the photo of me and Cameron~!
Then, I waited with Yass and my friend who also came up (but by plane) from Melbourne, Sam, for Kyary~!

 

Me and my friend from Melbourne, Sam~ He's an admin of my KPPAUS page~!

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

 She came out probably half an hour after the performances finished~ Kyary was surrounded by fans and a few security guards from Channel 7 as well as her manager~ There were people everywhere at the door so I was at the back~ Kyary walked past me~ But then she stopped at the road, so I ran around the crowd and onto the road and that is when it happened~~~

I MET KYARY~!! ♡



I quickly held out Pamyu and a marker and asked her to sign her, please~! She looked me in the eyes the whole time, and after I asked her this she nodded to me and said yes~! My heart beat even faster~! She took Pamyu and the marker and held them, but then her manager said no~ ;; BUT I WAS STILL SO HAPPY~! I got to speak to her and she held my darling Mameshipamyupamyu~ ♡

After that, they got into a big van~ Then I felt like fainting because I was so overwhelmed with joy~ My friend Catherine came up to me and showed me a photo that she'd taken of me and Kyary talking~! I almost cried~ It felt like a dream~ I was still holding back tears~ But then when I called my mum to ask her to pick me up, I burst into tears when I was telling her what had happened~! 

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

On my wei back to the hotel, I tweeted the picture Catherine had taken of us to Kyary~ Then when i got back to the hotel I met up with my best friend Chelsea and Ben~! They stayed at the same hotel as me so we could go to the concert all together~ 

While I was with them getting ready to go, I noticed that I had quite a few notifications on twitter so I thought that I'd better check it~ Then, to my surprise, Kyary had retweeted the photo and replied to me~! Again~! I had to hold back tears again~



After a little celebration, it was time for us to go to the concert and wait in line for hours~!


 ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

6 hours to be exact~ We got to the venue at 1pm and doors were at 7pm~ We met up with Nick who I met that morning there too~

 

It was a long wait but it was eventful~! I was interviewed by Matt from SBSPopAsia about meeting Kyary~ 

 http://distilleryimage7.ak.instagram.com/9207d782b26011e3971b1206230541af_8.jpg

Then we were videoed in line waiting~ And then again with a group of other Kyary cosplayers~ 


I also got to meet a few more people who I met through Instagram~! including my dear friend Jack (pockypolice/jean_got_the_booty) and the darling GurpleDino~  


While I was in line, I started getting a lot of notifications all of a sudden again~ This time, the Official Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (In English) had shared my tweet about winning the signed CD from Channel 7's Sunrise and being interviewed by SBSPopAsia~! 


This day just kept getting better and better~ ♡

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

As soon as the doors opened, I ran straight to the merch stand but noticed there was a Pamyurin bunny mascot that you could have photos with~! So I got a photo with it, bought merch, then went to the crowd in front of the stage~! 


We were so close~! Ben was already there waiting, as well as my friend Isaac~! Chelsea doesn't like crowds so unfortunately she couldn't stand with us~ ;; Isaac helped us to get 2 people away from the stage~! Thank you Isaac~
 

Isaac is flipping the bird~ 

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

We waited for an hour in the crowd before Kyary came on stage~! She came on to Nandacollection in her super cute and colourful outfit of fur~! She performed Invader Invader and Mi, then read a note to us that she'd written in English~! 


It was so cute listening to her speak English~ She ended her note by telling us that she was about to perform a song that she hadn't performed before~! It was Family Party~! The song for the new Crayon Shin Chan movie~! 

After that, she performed Ninjari Bang Bang, Kyary An and Furisodeshon

She then went off stage to change costumes~ A blue rabbit took to that stage at that time and danced around to RGB~!

When Kyary returned, she was wearing the pink dress that looks like a melting icecream~! It was great~ Pamyu Pamyu Revolution was playing too~! She then went on to sing Mottai Night Land, Sungoi Aura, Kura Kura,


 Super Happy Scooter, Yume no Hajima Ring Ring, 


Saigo no Icecream and Tsukema Tsukeru~!



Then it was time for another costume change~ While she was gone, a clip from Season 2 of TV John! played on the screen~! It was funny~ Like all of TV John! is~!

She returned to Kyary no March in a black dress which was really pretty~ She then sang Cherry Bon Bon (It is my favourite to watch the dancers dancing, the dance is kind of funny to me~!), 


PONPONPON (My favourite song) and then finally, FASHION MONSTER~!

It was obvious that there would be an encore, but it was a lot cuter than what I expected~! Kyary came out wearing small gray koala ears instead of her big pink rabbit ears~! And she points to them and says "I am a koala~!" And everyone screamed because of how adorable it was~! 


She performed CANDY CANDY and then lastly, Chanchakachanchan~ 


I started crying when she walked off stage~ It was such an amazing concert~! I hadn't been to a concert like it before because I usually only go to hardcore or metalcore gigs, but I can say it is in my top 3 of all the many shows I've been too~!

Before CANDY CANDY and Chanchakachanchan, Kyary had a photo taken of her and her dancers in front of the crowd~ I was too short to get in, but I reached just high enough for Pamyu to get in~!

Clearer photo~ Pamyu The Mameshiba is famous~! 
 

 ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

After the show, Isaac and Chelsea looked for the gems that I'd lost off my wings while I spoke to my boss man, Neko and his girl friend, Meow~!I was very grateful for their help with finding my gems~ My wings didn't get as fucked up as I thought they were going to~! But I did get my hair extension ripped out by someone~ But all was worth it for Kyary~!

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

I bought a lot of merchandise~ I only spent $80~! 


☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

The next day I won another CD too, but this one was from SBSPopAsia for Kyaryfy-ing myself~! It will be coming in the mail~ 

 
☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆ 

The only negative about the weekend, was being away from my darling boy friend~!




Told him I'd include him in this, hehe~♡

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Thank you to everyone I met and saw at the concert and throughout my day~! I would call it a perfect day not only because of Kyary but because of you too~  Thank you to Sunrise/Chanel 7 for the signed CD~ Thank you to SBSPopAsia for interviewing me and for the CD prize~ Thank you to the official Kyary Pamyu Pamyu page for sharing my tweet about winning the signed CD~

Thank you all, so very much~! ♡

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆
