My Lucky Star Somnus Bracelet

Hello! Time for another review, sort of! I recently purchased a My Lucky Star Somnus Bracelet off a Singaporean website. I watched the drama ages ago and I have always loved the bracelet in the drama, which at some point in my life, i wanted to buy one, BUT the prices were so expensive then I never got a chance to. :(  until finally, i thought about it again and decided to google around for it. It was quite hard to find actually, a lot of them were either no international shipping or too expensive. I actually came upon a blogspot selling it for around $12 but the post was 2 years ago, so I seriously doubt they are still selling it :/  so i kept searching and searching until i came upon this one website that sold the bracelet for around $5. Combined with the horrible shipping price of about $3, which made my total to be around 8, I got the bracelet shipped to me in about 2-3 weeks.  this is what it looks like the build of the bracelet is quite sturdy ...

Review: Pain de Me French Macarons with Almonds

Hello, doing another review today! So today it will be on food. I bought this at Marukai (japanese market) a couple weeks back but never got to type up the review. These are Pain de Me, 12 French macarons with almonds. apparently, they are imported from france...not sure about that.  I got them on 'sale' for $9, making them 75 cents a piece. whoot...  I personally have not tried macarons EVER in my life, so i wanted to see what the hype about it was all about. the price seemed reasonable, as i heard it was around $1-2 a piece at stores? not sure.  6 flavors, 2 of each  chocolate, raspberry, vanilla, coffee, lemon, pistachio.  sorry about the pics, i actually tried a bunch already until i realized i forgot to take pics!  this is how they look. they're actually a LOT smaller than i thought. i'd say its probably bigger than a quarter?  back of the box showing the ingredients used and nutrition facts.  apparently, it is 157...

REVIEW: DAISO CHARCOAL PORE CARE PACK

Hello! It has been a while since my last review and so today I will do a review on Daiso's charcoal pore care pack.  I have seen many many charcoal face mask reviews that people have bought at Daiso and i was sooo looking forward to buying that and testing it out, but my Daiso did not offer it. I am very disappointed :( but i guess this pore care pack will do!  This is a picture of how it looks. sorry for the bad image, i actually had a better image but i dont know what happened to it!  This is made in korea and comes in a box of 4 for $1.50. that is about 40 cents for one sheet, which i feel is reasonable. before, i used to buy these off amazon from a seller in korea and it cost me nearly 70 cents a sheet because of shipping and all, so i felt that this is really cheap.  Instructions:  1. wet nose after washing. it is hard to paste on dried skin. do not directly wet the pack as it may weaken effect. 2. remove transparent sheet by dried hand....
