DaTuRa at Sapporo Collection 2015

I'm so excited to post this since DaTuRa is one of my new very favorite onee brands! 

Sapporo Collection is a fashion show like the Kobe and Kansai Collection shows that started around Japan to showcase fashion outside of the main city center of Tokyo. The first show was back in 2007, but I only heard of it this year because of DaTuRa's appearance in it! Also, I don't think it's quite as famous as Kobe Collection (which I have heard of before) or maybe it's because it happens later in the season? 

Anyway!

I'm so happy that they chose DaTuRa to represent gal/onee style at this show. Like the other shows, there was a wide range of brands showing, but DaTuRa definitely stood out among them.

First adorable model of the show!

Style Icon: Rady Shop Staff

I always liked doing these kind of posts, so here is the first one!

Lately I have fallen in love with modern agejo onee brand Rady (which you can see from where I posted recently about their shoes!) and have also fallen in love with the gorgeous girls who make up Rady's shop staff! Their staff blog is a great source of inspiration and the best place to see each of the girls in action!

I love how although Rady's brand concept and look is very pulled together, all of the shop staff bring their own personalities to their individual coordinates. Here are some of my favorite looks!

 

Rady casual setups are seriously some of the best. I know they are usually labeled as "room wear," but the Rady girls make them seem like perfectly fine - and stylish! - outfits to wear anywhere!

HG: L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation

 

Taking a moment to do a quick post about this AMAZING new foundation I just bought the other day! I thought I had liked the Revlon Colorstay 24-Hour foundation I posted about back in November, but this beats it 1,000,000x over! Here is the description from L'Oreal's website:

 

"Achieve a matte finish that won’t fall flat with this air-light, longwearing liquid formula. Lightweight and creamy, foundation goes on smooth with a demi-matte finish that lasts up to 24 hours—hiding imperfections for a smooth, clear complexion."

 

I can definitely say this is 100% true! As someone with annoying oily skin, it's important that I don't look shiny by the middle of the day. Even though the Revlon Colorstay foundation did a good job, I still had to do some minor touch-ups... With Infallible Pro-Matte, I don't have to worry at all!

 

I noticed right away that the consistency of this foundation is much different from any I've used before. Even though it's a "liquid," it has a thicker, almost powder-like texture, kind of like paint or stage makeup, but it still goes on smoothly with my foundation sponge. The secret to staying matte is in this consistency, I think! The coverage is really awesome too - I don't have to cake it on to get a nice finish that's matte but not powdery.

 

Anyway, I definitely recommend this foundation to anyone with an oily complexion who wants true all-day coverage without the need for touch-ups! I hope they never stop making this, because it's my new holy grail of drugstore foundation.
