last Sunday was another Lolita meet-up and for that day we decided on a motto-meet-up for the first time. The motto was Ero which I like a lot and it was a dream of mine to wear it for a long time. And I was finally able to realize it. One thing we noticed was that when we have a meet-up the food is always a main part of it. This time it was a barbecue we had in one of the members cozy garden and it was really nice and tasty. Thank you again for the great hospitality.
Of course we also took some pictures but inside the light wasn't that good but we still made the best out of it. This one was acutally taken when I put off my shoes and didn't even notice that our photographer pulled the trigger. Ironically it is my fave picture of the day.
Finallyyyyy~ the second half of my cosmetic order arrived. Well, it was just a lipstick and two tear liners but I've been waiting like forever.
The lipstick from 'Etude House' has a really smooth texture making it easy to apply it but since it's such a strong color you have to be careful not to look like an alarm signal. And isn't the design lovely?!
These are the two tear liners from 'Holika Holika'. I wonder if it is true that they're waterproof but since I'll go party this weekend it's a good way of testing that. Again I got lots of samples but the sheet mask is definitely the most useful thing there.
Oh yeah by the way I tested the eggpore set from Tony Moly and I have to say I'm really disappointed. Maybe my pores are too small or whatever I don't know but the only thing that works is the peeling effect but there are no signs of removed blackheads. So if you ever think of buying it - DON'T! Rather choose the nose patch.

Yaaay yesterday my long awaited order with Korean cosmetics finally arrived after the long wait of 15 days.
Originally I was only looking for a cleaning gel to fight my blackheads on the nose but then I ended up buying not only the egg pore from 'Tony Moly' but also an eyeliner from 'Lioele' and eyeshadow from 'Etude House'. I was really happy that the package did not only contain my ordered products but also a lot of different samples.
I already tried the chin pack and whitening cream which I can recommend to you even though as an european I don't really need any more whitening but the cream makes the skin look really smooth like a porcelain puppet. The chin pack is also nice and useful but it smells kinda weird.
What I can not recommend is the lip tint from 'Etude House'. You have to smear something jelly like on your lips which applies color to them after a few seconds but you still have leftovers of the jelly which you have to rub off. The color doesn't look that nice either.
Now here we have the egg pore set. The eggs look big but the cream is only in the upper part of it. It also says you could grow little plants in it when it's empty but I doubt that you can grow anything in there except cress or one daisy.
This is the Cupcake eye shadow (Menu 3) from 'Etude House'. Isn't it cute? I'm planning to use it tomorrow but it looks really beautiful and shimmers a lot although you can't see it on this picture.
And I'm really pleased with the champagne colored eyeliner from 'Lioele'. It is really smooth and you don't have to use force to apply it like you have to with these "hard" eyeliners which need ages to get useable after you bought them.
it's time for a new post. Yesterday was such a fun evening. It was really really great. I met my friend Jana and also her friend Mina in Stuttgart to go for some nice dinner. We decided to visit a Tapas restaurant where I ordered meatballs with tomato sauce, olive cream with bread and potato tortillias with sweet pepper sausages - yummy! After enjoying the good food we went to our favourite lounge '5' for some super AWESOME cocktails.
First I had a Cosmopolitan and I tell ya I've never had such a good one ever. When we thought of what to order next, the DJ who stood right next to us recommended a cocktail called 'America'. Since there was raw egg white in there I never would've ordered it myself but then I thought why don't give it a try. Well... I have to say this is the best cocktail I ever had! There is nothing that can compare against it, really.
Here are some pictures of our great evening:
That's the 'America'. Doesn't look special right, but the taste....
today I'd like to introduce you my favorite composer. I've got a lot of soundtrack and there are some composer I like most because they always do a good job. Music inspires me a lot, especially instrumental music since it has so many different facets. When I was in my early teens I used to write a lot of stories while listening to the music best suited for the mood I wanted to express which made writing it down a lot easier.
1. Yuki Kajiura
is a Japanese composer and music producer. She was in charge for the music used in several popular anime for example the Kara no Kyoukai movies, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Tsubasa Chronicle, Aqquarian Age or Madlax. She also assisted Toshihiko Sahashi for the Gundam Seed/ Destiny works and formed 2007 the great band Kalafina ♡ (absolutely my favourite band).
Kajiura spend her childhood in Germany but returned to Japan as she went to college there.
My personal opinion is the Kara no Kyoukai movies were definitely her best project and I never get tired of listening to these 7 soundtracks.
The first album 'Seventh Heaven' from Kalafina is also based on these movies since they provided the vocals for the music.
2. Hiroyuki Sawano
is a japanese composer and musician best known for his work on many anime (Soul Link, Ao no Exorcist, Guilty Crown) but also TV series, and movies.
He started playing the piano when he was in elementary school and began to study composition at 17.
Even though I was highly disappointed in Guilty Crown but the music is sooo~ awesome because Sawano likes to use not only instruments but also electric sounds and that makes a great match. He also worked together with Mika Kobayashi who lend her voice to songs like 'Me & Creed' or 'βίος'.
There is still someone missing and of course it can't be no other than
3. Joe Hisaishi
is a composer and director known for over 100 film scores and solo albums. His real name is Mamoru Fujisawa. I guess there is nothing more to say since a lot of you should know the Studio Ghibli Movies.
it's time for a new post. Yesterday the summer came finally back and my friend and I went to Europe Park to enjoy ourselves. We went there by car and on the way there we had to overcome 2 traffic jams but in the end we still arrived early enough. Well since it was monday one thinks that there won't be a lot people because it's a normal workday BUT we were totally wrong. It was so full of people from all around europe like lithuania, ireland, france and of course germany.
That meant we had to wait a lot to get on the rides we wanted to but still it was so much fun we didn't care at all since even the waiting time was enjoyable because they put a lot of work in entertaining us with great surroundings like walking through caves with lots of lights and shining gems, music and so on.
We managed to take on 7 rides altogether like 'Euro-Mir' and 'Eurosat' which are one of my fave rides even though it was a little hard on me in the beginning since I'm afraid of heights but I get used to it after a short time and anyway I don't care since I just wanna ride it and have lots of fun.
This year a new rollercoaster 'Wodan' completely made out of wood was opened and of course we wanted to try it. It was freakin' AWESOME I tell ya! So if you're going to visit the amusement park next time make sure to go there first because we had to wait 70 minutes already.
Wodan
After eating we chose a more calm ride: The pirates of Batavia. It is a really beautiful ride where you sit in a boat floating through a huge cave with a sky full of stars and on both sides there are all kinds of sceneries with pirates.
Drink up me hearties yo-ho :D
Since it was quiet hot that day our last ride was a nice roller coaster with water called 'Poseudon'.
our after-shower
At the end of this ride a picture is taken while your boat will drive almost 90° downwards into the water. The result of the picture was that I was screaming and looked like I had seen some ghost who wanted to murder me.
I've never been so tired and I still had 2 1/2 hours to drive until reaching home but luckily the trip back went smoothly without any interference.
