Three days with more then three-thousand japanese and anime-fans is enought to kill you. Good thing I´m one of them. I survied and arrived whole to my sweet home.
UppCon is the biggest convention within the japanese popculture in Sweden. And you really feel that. This year (which also was my first time there) they had it in the middle of the winter. I stood for two hours and waited to come in, in below 0 degress. It was cold, but I´m glad I did.
There where so many people in that place that I couldn´t belive my eyes. Everywhere I turned my eyes there where more people. And cosplayers, this is the paradise for swedish cosplayers. Next year (yes, I have already made up my mind), I´m going cosplay all three days. I can´t describe how normal I felt the first day, wearing jeans and and shirt. It felt to normal, and I usually don´t dress normaly as other people do (I like stange clothes).
My advise for people who want to go there. Don´t miss the shows. There´s lolita fashion show, cosplay show (show of your cosplay), cosplay-skits, AMV-contest and live conserts (this year Y.M.C.K., Supreme Machine...). And for gods sake: don´t forget to cosplay and if you find something fun to buy, do buy it. It is always fun. Don´t forget to have the camera ready.
One more thing: drink lots of water, eat and sleep. It´s always good for you.

Tips For Choosing Pink Wedding Dresses 3-bridal
Nice Wedding
Increasingly, brides are turning to colored wedding dresses
on their special day. After all, it is not just Queen Victoria's prerogative to go against the wedding tradition of her day when she walked down the aisle in a white gown, at a time when brides wore color on their special day!
Fortunately for pink-loving brides-to-be, the various shades of pink are the new white in the wedding industry. It helps to have these practical tips when choosing from among many pink wedding dresses
just so you can be stylish on your wedding day.
Expand your Pink Horizons
Often, we think of pink as Barbie's color. And when images of Barbie and Teresa in fuchsia pink wedding dresses being married to their equally plastic boyfriends come to mind, you might just cringe at the thought. After all, pink is more commonly associated with cute flower girls and clueless bridesmaids, not the brides themselves!
However, you must realize that pink, like all other combination colors, have many shades and hues to it. You can choose from among them depending on your personal preferences, of course.
Attractive shades of pink include shocking, pink, dark pink and bright pink, all of which can make your dress stand out most becomingly. You can also choose middle shades like carnation pink and cherry blossom pink when you want to tone it down a little. For the lightest shade of pink, go for baby pink and pale pink.
Keep in mind, however, that these are just some of the pink shades to choose from. Other exotic hues include rose pink, shell pink, pearl pink, champagne pink, iridescent pink, blush pink, fuchsia pink and even mauve and magenta.
Always remember to ask for samples of the cloth as you want to be sure that's exactly the pink you are looking for in your final list of pink wedding dresses. And don't let the opinions of others saying that the palest of pinks are the most bride-like of them all. Just so long as you don't appear snotty or trashy, you should be fine.
Complement Your Pink
When you have chosen the right pink wedding dresses (yes, this is assuming you will fall in love with pink that you will have two dresses in the ultra-feminine color), it's time to move on to color complementation. You want your pink dress to be echoed in the wedding entourage's attire and in the wedding motif.
Fortunately, you can match pink quite easily with other colors. After all, it is a combination of white with other colors (think red, rose, magenta and orange) that should make color coordinating an easy task. With that being said, you can complement pink with colors like ivory, champagne, silver, white and black, lavender, chocolate, turquoise, sage green, and even some yellow shades.
Truly, when you walk down the aisle towards your loved one and waltz with him in your pink wedding dresses, you are fulfilling the dreams of countless little girls playing with their Barbie dolls. Come to think of it, you were once a little girl, too, and you are just fulfilling your dreams!

Latest haul..
What I got during my last minute shopping before New Years Eve but forgot to post it hehe
Got them on sale.. I love reading makeup books!!
click to zoom
I love the Buckwheat Loose powder! I use it to set my Skinfood BB Creams. It really keeps oil at bay. I only retouch during lunchtime using the Lemon pact powder. The smell's also nice too!
Fanny Serrano gel eyeliner & their slanted eyeliner brush
Tested the eyeliner at the back of my hand, when I got home I tried to run water on it to check if it easily smudges.. I'm quite impressed! Its really waterproof!
Their eyeliner brush is also good! The slanted brush makes eyeliner application a breeze. I like this better compared to my Elianto eyeliner brush which has a rounded brush..

After hearing so many good reviews on GT and my friends, I decided to try this.. At last a foundation that really matches my skintone! =)
