<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Verdict:</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
I feel like this BB cream holds true to what it claims to do to your skin. Upon application, It already starts to hide my imperfections (fine lines, blemishes, uneven skin tone). There's no unpleasant smell either. It's pretty thick and a little really really does go a long way. My skin doesn't feel oily but neither does it dry out. It actually gives my skin that healthy dewy look. I also have dry patches on my face and it doesn't aggravate it at all. </span></center>

Price:✦✦✦✧✧ (It's a bit pricey, but that's to be expected from a good asian BB cream)</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
Coverage:✦✦✦✦✦ (I gave it a perfect score because it does cover VERY well. )</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">

Application:✦✦✦✦✦ (Easy application)</span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">

Fragrance:✦✦✦✦✧ (Non-fragrant but still has that "makeup smell" to it. Very tolerable)</span></center>

<br /></div>
I finally got to meet Murakami Haruki one on one! I knew he had a home here in Hawaii and recently discovered he had an office at my university as well. I had no idea it was in the building I frequent the most!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
When I finally found his room, there was a trashcan wedged in-between the door frame and the door with a paper hanging outside stating that it was indeed Haruki himself. It also noted that photography or recording wasn't allowed but students and teachers were welcome to come in without any appointment. I squealed with joy and started to get nervous.<br />
<br />
I was about to knock and then through the crack of the door, I saw someone already sitting there. "Dammit! I gotta come back later" I told my friend, Jeff who was with me for moral support, haha. We waited a good 30 minutes before it was too late and I had to go to my last class.<br />
<br />
While I was in my class, I kept thinking "Meh, I'll just get it some other time..." and then a miracle happened! Some students that were interested in the JET program were free to leave early because of a meeting that was being held at the same time. I wasn't really interested in JET but saw it as my opportunity to go see Mr. Murakami! So, I left.<br />
<br />
Students were all still in class, so it was the perfect opportunity. I was so nervous but sucked it up and went. NO REGRETS! I'm usually very shy when it comes to people I adore. But, I went for it.<br />
<br />
I knocked and I heard a, "haaaai?"<br />
<br />
I went in and there he was sitting at his desk. "Konnichiwa" he said and I in turn greeted him the same. Because I was so starstruck already and was afraid of offending him with my poor Japanese, I quickly asked, "あの、英語でいいですか?” (May I use English?) and he smiled "Oh, of course."<br />
<br />
His office was surprisingly small with no decorations. All there was was his desk with a computer, his chair, another chair which I sat on and behind me, a bookshelf. The room was pretty much the size of a broom closet. His window was huge though, overlooking the building's courtyard.<br />
<br />
We did a bit of small talk and then I asked if he could sign two books I had with me. One was for me and the other was for my bff, Monica (who was at work at the time). I handed Monica's first which was the Japanese version of "The Elephant Vanishes". Then I handed my book and he asked "And what's your name?" I tried to say with my best pronounciation, "JU-VVVEEEE" but then when I saw his pen go up after writing 'J' and 'U', as I thought, he heard "Judy"<br />
<br />
I was thinking, "ahh, oh well. I don't want to interrupt him...but wait, this is for ME! WHO'S JUDY?! HURRY SAY SOMETHING!" and with a quick "あ、あの。。。" I told him that my name was spelt wrong.<br />
<br />
We ended up exchanging a lot of "Juvy" "??Julie??" "JEW-VEE" "??Ju...dy??" until I pronounced the V with a Japanese accent and held up a peace sign to act as a V. He paused, smiled and corrected his spelling mistake.<br />
<br />
"It's a very unusual name, isn't it?" he said<br />
"yeah..."<br />
<br />
We began talking more about my name and then he then pulled out his planner and asked me for my full name. He wrote it down slowly and then said "There. I'll remember you."<br />
<br />
I thanked him, shook his hand and left.<br />
<br />
*____________________________* I was sooooooo starstruck and happy!<br />

I'm back with another video (damn I'm on a roll!)<br />
This time it's my FIRST makeup tutorial! It's a quick one actually, inspired by one of my favorite idols in k-pop. Have you guessed it yet? It's Amber of f(x)! And since I still have my blonde hair, I figured I should give it a go. Just in time for Halloween too haha.<br />

I absolutely adore her makeup in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKS12iGFyEA">Pinocchio (Danger) MV</a>, it's definitely my kind of style. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video :) The only thing I'm upset about is that the most important part in the video, the eyeliner part, is missing because I wasn't aware my camera shut off! BOO. Well, I hope you enjoy anyway! And please, enjoy my no make-up face as well! hahaha~<br />
<br />
p.s. I'm not really good at makeup, I just do whatever I feel like looks good to me lol.<br />

(pic heavy)This past week has been a rather boyish one for me. Come to think of it, I was actually always comfortable with being and acting like a tomboy since I was little (thanks to growing up with my brother who I have always seen as a role model and the countless of anime and video games where I wished to be the male leads). Don't get me wrong, I love the girly style too and well, I am definitely a girl, but I do honestly feel that with my weird-ass personality, boyish fits in well with me.<br />
<br />
I was always envious of the girls with slender arms and legs with feminine hands (*cough cough, like <a href="http://monrabu.blogspot.com/">Monica</a>*) and even though I'm short in height, I lack in slender features. T_____T<br />
<br />
Well, I've been told I'd make a pretty boy. There was also one time in Japan when I wasn't even intentionally dressing up boyish, another Japanese male called me an <i>ikemen</i>. It's good to know I'd at least make an attractive boy. :3<br />

Okay so now we're at our friend's (Lance) VERY oshare place in town. Just chilled, played some beer pong, danced around in the living room (while Lance was on his set) and pretty much re-lived my younger days haha. It was much needed after a stressful week <3 p="p"><!--3--><!--3--><!--3--></3></div>

Lastly, how appropriate to mention a girl who is both gorgeous as a girl but effing hot dressed in her tomboy style: f(x)'s Amber. I recently got the famous Gerlan Jean's Leopard Lip varsity jacket in that she sported in their MV 'Pinocchio'. I remember being in total love with that jacket the first time I saw it and now I have one for my own! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What great timing that I have short blonde hair, because now it's inspired me to do a makeup tutorial on Amber's makeup in that MV. It's so simple but I love the look. Hope to get that up soon! What do you guys think?</div>

Gonna really miss her. She seriously is one of my closest friends that DEFINITELY understands me like no other. Out of the 3 months she was back, we finally got to take purikura together. A lot of the puri we take consist of many inside jokes. So, don't mind if you don't get what the hell we write on our puri. We don't make sense. :)<br />

We left one of our purikura on the wall of purikuras at Funpix~ I wish we brought colorful pens but oh well. Oh, and also added in shameless plugs lol.GROOVY JUVYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11646734280210054565noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280139574622557410.post-50289855572152973732012-08-23T10:33:00.001+09:002012-08-23T10:33:01.891+09:00Suggestions, anyone?Hey all! It certainly has been a while. I didn't realize how crazy August was going to be. A couple of weeks ago I was working 40 hours a week plus summer school so I pretty much had...no life. Then after that, I only had one week of "vacation" before I started fall semester this past Monday.<br />
<br />
Along with being busy, I just had a bunch of things on my mind that need to get sorted out soon but I've been thinking about what to blog about for this upcoming weekend (a REAL post this time). I kind of have an idea of what I want to blog about, but I was wondering what you all would like to see?<br />
<br />
Reviews? What kind? Photo posts? Fashion posts? Anything at all, let me know ;) Or even if you have any questions!<br />
<br />
Looking forward to hearing from you all <3 p="p"></3>GROOVY JUVYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11646734280210054565noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280139574622557410.post-51643157829979259822012-07-19T11:44:00.000+09:002012-07-19T13:19:02.848+09:00JUVY&MONI 2NE1 cover of Lonely<br />

IT WAS SO HOT IN HAWAII TODAY! It reached up to the 90's (Fahrenheit) which we're not too used to in Hawaii, it's usually just in the high 80's.

Decided to do a quick outfit of the day post featuring <a href="http://www.pinksugarichigo.com/">Janis</a>! We were just running errands so our outfits are pretty casual (well, mine is anyway. <a href="http://www.pinksugarichigo.com/">Janis</a> is always glamourous!) Did our outfit shots and then we switched clothes towards the end. It was... interesting. This post focuses mainly on my outfit (sorry, you're gonna have to ask <a href="http://www.pinksugarichigo.com/">Janis</a> yourself if you're wondering where she got her stuff!). </div>

HEY ALL. So, some big news. I finally have a domain name, thanks to my bff, <a href="http://www.pinksugarichigo.com/">Janis</a>! She bought it as my birthday gift. When it came down to thinking of a domain name, the obvious choice would've been OALIMAY, but I don't know... as much as I really liked that name because it was just a backwards spelling of my last name, something didn't sit right with me. I then thought of just making it my full name: www.juvyyamilao.com I actually felt a bit silly typing that, but I kind of just wanted to make my own name known rather than an alias. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, <a href="http://www.pinksugarichigo.com/">Janis </a>came up with a good point: to make something catchy and easy to remember. For those of you who knew me from way back when, I've been known as "Groovy Juvy". I'd say I was using that name since 2000 until 2007. I thought, why not? I felt comfortable with it and I think it's easy to remember. What do you think? Well, too late now, it's already set in stone. Haha. I'd love to hear opinions anyway!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

What's gonna happen now? A NEW LAYOUT of course!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Finally! A new vid. I was a bit too excited about this brush. I'm amazed at how well my foundation looks when I used this wonderful gift from the heavens. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
I'll probably be making a tutorial on how I use the stippling brush a little later on :)GROOVY JUVYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11646734280210054565noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280139574622557410.post-80026139079775614142012-04-08T06:25:00.000+09:002012-04-08T06:26:17.299+09:00Hello, Ethan.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I said I wanted to blog again because I'm currently out of a job and not going to school, but this little guy is the reason why I've become busy once again. Welcome to my nephew, Ethan Elijah! Born on April 1st to my brother and sister-in-law.<br />

He's my first nephew so that makes me a first time auntie! I already fell in love with him right at the moment my sisinlaw told me she was pregnant. I came home right on time. <3 Auntie loves you so so so much Ethan!GROOVY JUVYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11646734280210054565noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280139574622557410.post-61606772370873337022012-03-28T06:26:00.000+09:002012-03-28T06:26:20.387+09:00outfit post (dec 2011 - march 2012)Just a couple of random selects of what I wore taken off of my instagram.<br />

ALOHA. It's been about 2 weeks since coming back to Hawaii from Japan. I have to say that I got back into the swing of things right away. It's like I never left. Then again, one year isn't THAT long when you think about it. I'm still trying to get adjusted to the time though. My sleeping patterns are way off.<br />
<br />
My last day in Japan was a bittersweet one. It snowed the last day, which was surprising because the weather as of late at the time was mostly sunny and rainy. I felt like it was Kyoto's farewell gift to me.<br />

This was taken right before I went through security check at Kansai International Airport. Me with my my Japanese friend and my German friend. I really wasn't expecting anyone to come see me off so this was such a BIG surprise. They also gave me farewell presents. They also helped me out A LOT. I don't travel alone often so I'm not too familiar with airport procedures, rules and whatnot. I was expecting to pay the excess weight for my luggage but my Japanese friends were able to configure around my things where it JUST hit the borderline of the weight limit. I didn't have to pay anything!<br />

After going through security, I hopped on the escalator going down to enter our gates and as I was going down I could see my friends. Before I disappeared from sight we were all blowing kisses to each other and at the very end I flashed a "shaka". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There more things that happened during my flight back to Hawaii but I won't bore you with details. I'll just leave off with saying that I'm glad I got to study abroad. It really opened my mind and heart to new things about the world, people and most of all myself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Looking down at Japan while our plane was flying away from it, I silently whispered "bye bye, Japan" to myself. Thank you for everything Japan, till we meet again <3<br />
<br />
NOW that I'm back home though I plan on revamping up my blog and catching up on a lot of posts! I first need to buy a new external harddrive, there is absolutely no more space in my computer to do any editing of pictures or videos so I hope to buy that some time soon! Till then, thank you to my loyal followers ! </div>GROOVY JUVYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11646734280210054565noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280139574622557410.post-63870704671346940332012-02-08T17:22:00.001+09:002012-02-08T17:22:18.498+09:00one more month left!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

December 29, 2011<br />
<br />
The day after their arrival to Kyoto, I decided to take these two on their first shopping adventure! Being that Kyoto isn't like the major cities such as Tokyo or Osaka, there are only 2 main shopping areas. I luckily live right in the middle within walking distance of these two areas.<br />
<br />
I first brought them to <i>Shijo</i> and <i>Sanjo </i>where they had the major stores and malls like <a href="http://www.opa-club.com/kawaramachi/">OPA</a>, <a href="http://www.loft.co.jp/shoplist/kyoto">Loft</a>, <a href="http://www.round1.co.jp/shop/tenpo/kyoto-kawaramachi.html">Round 1</a>, among others.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>We greeted our day with having a mini photoshoot in my room displaying our outfits for that day.<br />
<br />
Then around early afternoon, started on our journey towards Shijo.<br />
<br />
We spent most of our time going through every floor in OPA (pretty much like Kyoto's 109) and also walking through the "shopping tunnel", Teramachi.<br />
<br />
I felt excited for <a href="http://pinksugarichigo.com/">Janis</a> and <a href="http://classyjuicebox.blogspot.com/">Lani</a> seeing them get excited seeing their favorite gyaru brands in OPA. Even more excitement as we went to the various street side stores and endless 300yen cute shops.<br />
<br />
The phrase of the day was pretty much "BRACE YOURSELF". Haha.<br />
<br />
We ended our day eating at my favorite <i>donburi-ya, </i><a href="http://www.yayoiken.com/tenpo/kyoto.html">Yayoiken</a>. I call it a donburi-ya because it's one of those 24-hour affordable-eatstop where you pay at the machine before sitting, a place to get a quick bite to eat, but you don't get that donburi-ya feel with Yayoiken and also not to mention endless bowls of free rice!<br />
<br />
The food also comes to you freshly cooked, still sizzling!<br />
<br />
Phew okay, I'm talking too much about food. ^____^<br />
<br />
That night Janis and I ended up staying up till the early hours of the morning while Lani fell asleep first while uploading pics from our funfilled day.<br />
<br />
NOW ON TO THE PICS AND VIDEO FROM THAT DAY~<br />

The day finally came! My two best friends (<a href="http://pinksugarichigo.com/">pinksugarichigo</a> & <a href="http://classyjuicebox.blogspot.com/">eat juice</a>) were coming to visit me in Japan! It's been 3 years since we last hung out and what better place to reunite in than Japan? We've been planning this little reunion ever since my arrival in Kyoto.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They flew in at around 4:30pm and I was on an express train headed to Kansai International Airport! I was 30 minutes late and also very nervous and excited at the same time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I arrived at the airport and I started on my search for those two gals. When I finally found them we all ran to each other and greeted each other with high pitched squeals and hugs. We even started tearing and almost started crying but we retained our composure! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next thing to do was: HEAD BACK TO KYOTO!</div>

<span class="fullpost">We got on the Haruka Express train which goes directly to Kyoto. I can't really remember what time we arrived back in Kyoto, but I wanna say around 7pm. I only live about 10 minutes walking away from the station so it was a piece of cake!... if they didn't have their luggage with them! It was a struggle but we eventually made it to my place.</span></div>

<b>Why I bought it:</b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
During the summer my skin started acting up ESPECIALLY on my face. It was the worst time EVER, to the point where I cried myself to sleep every night. I'm all healed now and I'll save my skin-disaster story for another post. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
My skin was red, itchy and very flaky. I know I probably shouldn't have been using makeup on my face that time anyway but I was desperate to cover up the redness. I've read reviews on how this miracle BB cream covers redness and also moisturizes and stays moisturized throughout the day. Some people even claimed it healed their skin. Desperately seeking some kind of makeup cure, I bought it.</div>

<b>The product:</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
This product comes in 4 shades. No. 13 (milky beige), 21 (light beige), 23 (natural beige), and 31 (golden beige). I got mine in No. 23. At the store though, I only saw No. 21 & 23.</div>

<b>The verdict:</b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
When i tried it at the store I was sold but when I tried it on the next morning I realized it was a bit too heavy for me and the florally fragrance that I thought was nice and light smelling was a bit too strong for me.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
This is just me however. I did like how it blended well with my skin tone but as for coverage, it was like other BB creams I have tried in the past. Did it cover up my redness? Yeah, it did a little but all in all I honestly would rather stick to Maybelline's BB Mineral Mousse (my review on it <a href="http://oalimay.blogspot.com/2011/08/maybelline-pure-bb-mineral-mousse.html">here</a>).<br />
<br />
I bought this product during the summer time and I've only used it a couple of times. I am planning on trying this product out longer after my Maybelline BB Mineral Mousse runs out. ~<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><u>UPDATE (02/08/2012)</u></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">So I gave this BB cream another chance! And I have to say I've grown to like it. The floral scent doesn't bother as much and actually, a little bit of this product goes a long way. I do start off with a primer before putting this product on. I also found that this goes on smoother (for me) when applied using my fingers rather than a brush or a sponge. </span></div>GROOVY JUVYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11646734280210054565noreply@blogger.com7
