So I bought this a while back from Imomoko, along with some other stuff for free shipping. It's Kameria's "Sexy Body Hot Slim Cream" which is supposed to burn away body fat through just rubbing the cream on the problem areas. It's meant to be massaged into the skin, where it will heat up and cause your body to release fat. However, here's my experience:
Just before taking a bath about a half hour ago, I decided I'd try the Slim Cream one more time, just to be safe. So I rubbed it on one spot of my leg, massaging for about three minutes. When it didn't heat up, I decided to call it quits and get into my warm bath.
About ten minutes in, a horrible, extreme pain began to spread through my leg, as if it were on fire! Looking down, I saw that my thigh was bright red in the spots where I put the slimming cream. I was in the middle of shaving when this happens...
Bah, who shaves BOTH legs, anyway? :P
I might post later on about giving it away, because my leg is still currently feeling very hot and warm. If I suffer some horrible skin condition, someone else can have it. If not, I'll give it another try. 'Til then, see ya!

Scholl MediQtto Review: Medi Qtto Stockings (Beige) and Spats
Okay, so a few weeks ago, I promised a review of all the Medi Qtto stuff I got from the online sites I've mentioned before in my blog: Imomoko and SaSa. I figured there are enough reviews going around about the thigh-high socks, so I'll just do the spats and stockings. Starting with:
So all I have to do is look at the toes of the socks to know which is Scholl's! (Or I could look at the tag... but that's too easy.)
Anyway, here are some pictures of the stockings when worn:
I lifted up my shorts a bit 'cause there's a line on the stockings, near the top of the thighs.
Didn't show up well.
ANYwho, onward, we march! On to:
Before I say anything, I need to remind everyone to follow the size guide. It's the difference between showing results/change, and nothing happening. Or worse.
Anyway, I can't say much about these. I like them a lot; they're soft, like most nylons/pantyhose/whatever you may call them. However, they look a lot different from the picture on the box, when you think about color. Here's the box, and the actual color:

| The top part is my leg; the lower part is my arm. See the difference? |
It's cool, though. I thought I'd have difficulty figuring out which pair of nylons was my Scholl's and which were normal, but the Scholl's stockings have a little toe area, shown here:

ANYwho, onward, we march! On to:
I like these over the socks. They stay better, and on someone short like me, the top of these goes all the way above my navel. I'm not sure if there's any difference in size, as all of the slimming socks/stockings/etc are for water retention and NOT weight loss. However, I feel more confident because I at least feel like my legs are slimmer. However, the effects are temporary.

I take it back! ~ Hadatuko Slimming Noodles - Chicken
So I just wanted to redo my review on the Hadatuko Slimming Noodles in Chicken (The actual name is Hadatuko BODY STYLING ORIGINS Slimming Noodles). I bought two packs from Sasa.Com, and reviewed the first pack a while ago, saying it was bland and boring.
However, I take that back! They're actually not bad if you prepare them properly. This time, I followed the instructions as much as physically possible. Here's some pictures:
After this, another thing made me happy. The noodles tend to twist around each other (of course), so I was able to actually eat with chopsticks! I was very proud of myself. Anyway, they were surprisingly much better. There are tiny chicken bits and different herbs, adding a lot of flavor. I think last time, I just used too much water.
Anyway, thanks for reading! I'm happy; I think I'm at about 30 page views. Which isn't a lot, but it's a start. Bye!

In between this picture and the next, I just microwaved some water. It called for
200mL, that's about it. Not a lot of water, but trust me, don't use more.

Review Plan for the Week
Ack! I was planning on doing a few more reviews, maybe start talkin' bout ME for once, but, alas.... I have no pictures. D:
It's just not the same without pictures. Am I right?
Anyway, I decided that, instead, I would post a plan for my next few blog entries!
This week: Dr. Scholl MediQtto Socks, Spats and Pantyhose. This is going on all week because, well... I need pictures. And measurements, haha... so I need to start hunting for my iPod, a measuring tape, and a way to wash these things. Hopefully, these will all be included in the future blog entry :)
Anyway, sorry I've been busy. Finally recieved everything from SaSa, as you know... I'm already running out of my candy. I'll probably do another Misc. Review thing this weekend. But, hey, I got to go on a ski trip! (And get horribly burned) I mean, uh, what? Oh, and I got paid, which is good. Not much, but still, I'm a highschooler.
I'm gonna start slowing down by entries because I've gotta start preparing for a future Anime Con (I know, I'm a nerd...) and I want to make my own costume this year. Gonna be an expensive few months. Ouch!
That's all for now. See ya! :)

Last Entry for the Weekend: Stuff I DIDN'T Enjoy
As the title says, I'm reviewing stuff that I had lying around. In fact, I think I'll start with something I just got today.
From SaSa dot com I present...
I hate to say, I had some high hopes for this. I don't understand the calorie count (It says 49 kcal, but that's nearly 4900 calories. Hopefully it's a translation problem), but I love any chicken-flavored food. When I got these noodles, I was scared... I was expecting dry noodles and a seasoning packet, but instead, I got a bag of squishy-ness. Turns out, the noodles are in a plastic bag within the outer bag, and are already wet and slippery. Of course, there's a packet of seasoning included.
Anyway, here are the instructions:
1. Heat the noodles by soaking them in hot water.
2. Mix the seasoning powder into another bowl of hot water
3. Remove the noodles from the hot water and drain well. Put the noodles into the seasoning soup and mix well. Your delicious noodles are ready to serve!
Here's what I did:
1. Put water in a pot on the stove and heated
2. Added noodles
3. While that heated, I placed a small bowl of water in the microwave
4. When the noodles and the water were done, I mixed in the seasoning and threw in the noodles
Then I ate it.
Honestly? I'm not impressed. The noodles are bleach-white, and look a little strange. Then, the noodles didn't pick up much of the seasoning's flavors (Or maybe they weren't that good anyway). I didn't really enjoy these noodles. I'll post pictures next time I try it; I got Braised Beef and Chicken. I'll probably cook Braised Beef next week, so look out for it in my blog.
Next up, I have a hair styling tool that some people seem to love, but I just can't help but get mad at.
Lucky is the brand name. Now, I understand the concept; put your hair in the waved foam curler, roll it up, and then slip the end of the curler into the round hole. However, with my hair... it never seems to stay in place. Here's a picture of the kind I bought:
If you look, mine is bent out of shape and the hole at the end is wide open. I used these maybe... twice? Not sure. They didn't stay, and they didn't give the best results, not to mention the fact that they kept tearing and breaking. I wound up throwing them out, I just couldn't stand waking up to messy half-curled, half-straight hair that was frizzy and just plain bad.
Again, I understand the concept. There's a youtube video that shows the same basic thing, but with fabric instead of foam.
Anyway, I think this is enough for today (I know, two whole things! That's a lot... right?) I'll be back next week. Bye! (Oh, and it's official... I think I have two followers! Rarely have I been so happy)

False Eyelashes! From Pretty and Cute
Alright, so this is pretty much the finish of my last blog about Pretty and Cute's site, and the Fairy Drops BB.
Now... onto the false lashes! (All pictures were taken with a complete and total lack of makeup)
To be honest... of all my false lashes (all four pairs -______-;;) this is definitely my LEAST favorite. I guess I'm weird because I don't like wearing lashes with dried glue on them, so I generally peel off the glue. Well, these lashes are tied around the band (like, the lashes can be felt on the band), so when I tried to peel the glue off, I wound up pulling off two groups of lashes. >:I
Not only that, but the band is flimsy and too thin, and the lashes are obviously fake and just... awkward. Very pretty, but I can never wear these out of my house. Here's a picture:
Now... onto the false lashes! (All pictures were taken with a complete and total lack of makeup)
I'm going to start with one that some might be familiar with:

(I know I'm pink... I got sunburned)
You can see how they'd look rather strange, especially on someone like me. Which is sad, because I was really hoping they'd look more like this:
Maybe it's my American-ness... Either way, I was very disappointed.
Now, next on the list:
Pretty and Cute's own Crystal Band Natural 049
These are my second-favorite lashes, because they're super soft, and the easiest to put on. The lashes go in several directions, and while they're too dramatic for every day use, they're nice enough for special occasions, depending on where you're going and what makeup you're wearing. They bend well, and the lashes are within the band (which is the perfect size, by the way) so I can take off the glue and reuse these as often as I want.
They're very dramatic as well, but look less dolly-like and strange than the Dolly Wink (Dolly-like Dolly Wink lashes? Who woulda thunk it.) They're pretty and blend well with my natural lashes. Definitely good. Besides that, I don't have much to say.
Now here is my absolute FAVORITE PAIR of lashes of these three!
The brand-less Snow White Lashes
Now, I was very confused at first. They showed up like this:
The plastic container is small, and not only contains lashes, but also... a MYSTERIOUS LIQUID. In a tube. With a top. (Don't open it, it smells HORRIBLE and I dunno what it is) Here's a picture of the lashes in action:
They're my favorite 'cause they're soft, and pretty. However, I have one MAJOR complaint:
The band is weird.
I wish I had a picture of it, but oh well. It's not a cylindrical band like most other lashes. Instead, it's a flat piece of black plastic-type material. It doesn't bend well, either, so it's a struggle to make the lashes fit right (If you look on the inner corner of my eye, the band is standing up). Either way, though, they're my longest, yet my most natural-looking. Not sure how that worked out.
Anywho, that's it for this entry! I think later this week, if not next week, I'll do a review on a bunch more stuff. Still haven't finished my first order from SaSa, but I've already ordered more stuff from Imomoko and SaSa alike. Already got my Imomoko stuff, so look out for a quick review of Dr. Scholl MediQtto stockings and socks, as well as other stuff. Bye!

Fairy Drops BB Cream Review: Pretty and Cute
Whoa! Long time no post. Well, I got everything in the mail just a week or two ago (Took forEVER. Glad it finally got here :D thanks SaSa! Also, thanks Pretty and Cute! Their stuff came super fast, like I said. So I'm going to do a really quick review of them and one of the products I bought.
About Pretty and Cute:
Okay, now onto the review!
I'm going to start with a very popular item...
Fairy Drops Candy Bar BB Cream (Light Ochre)
Pros:
Cons:
I usually mix the BB with another, my Innisfree Trouble Care BB (my absolute favorite) and it makes the perfect shade for me. But all by itself, it makes me look... awkward. Not recommended for super light-toned people. Also, the container is relatively small, smaller than my hand, actually.
Overall: 4/5 Stars :D
I'll do another review on some False Eyelashes tomorrow, maybe add in somethin' else. 'til then, thanks for checkin' this out! I'll add pictures later.
About Pretty and Cute:
- They're an American-based company (So SUPER FAST SHIPPING to Residents of the USA)
- They're relatively small, but have great products
- They have stuff SaSa does not. (All the stuff I bought, for example)
Okay, now onto the review!
I'm going to start with a very popular item...
Fairy Drops Candy Bar BB Cream (Light Ochre)
Pros:
- Very liquid-y and smooth
- Comes with a detachable, cleanable sponge
- Great coverage
- Waterproof
Cons:
- Even the lightest shade was too dark for me
- Heavy yellow tint
- Air bubbles can make your BB ooze out of the tip beneath the sponge
- Not a lot of product for such an expensive price

Sasa review
So my stuff from Pretty & Cute came in, and shipping was super fast (They don't lie; if you live in the US, shipping is around four days. Ordered everything Saturday!) and I'm extremely excited.
However... this isn't about that stuff D: I haven't tried any of it yet. But reviews will come soon!
This is actually a review of Sasa, a large and slightly intimidating, but totally amazing site. Their prices are EXTREMELY cheap when compared to other sites, and their shipping isn't bad. Here are my thoughts:
Overall, I like Sasa. I've already ordered from them again, and am waiting for all of that to show up before I order even more (They have food!! I want it). Overall, Sasa is a great website if you're looking for cheap, but brand-name makeup and skincare, and they have many, many brands to choose from. Oh, and they accept paypal. If you become a member, though, the button will not show up; you'll get the option later on while purchasing your products. This confused me, but I figured it out eventually.

Confusing website
Forced to create an account with them after first purchase

Li'l bit about me:
I'm in High School
I'm a navy brat
I do a bit of online shopping
I listen to all kinds of music
I'm stuck between being a girl, and being a young woman (I'm still learning how to use makeup D;)
Anyway, I guess this'll be my blog about what I'm buying online and such. I'll be doing some reviews, though I'm not sure how regularly I'll do it. A few of my blogs might be a bit picture-heavy (just a warning).
