HARAJUKU LOVERS FRAGRANCE: LOVE




Have you heard of the Harajuku Lovers Fragrance by Gwen StafaniIf not, it is this marvellous perfume that smells quite radiant. The fragrance is not too watered down to the point it is a body spray, and it didn't give me that headache that other perfumes do. I just hate that feeling, that is why I am very picky when it comes to perfume. I want a stronger smell that body mist doesn't offer and one that won't leave me feeling nauseous.That's why I got really lucky when I picked 'Love' because I wasn't exactly sure how it smelled or how strong it was. I know how stupid right? Since I got this at Ross there were no samples or testers to choose from so I had to buy this at my own risk. In the end it turned out to be quite the positive experience.


In the collection there are five dolls. Their names from left to right:
LOVE, LITTLE ANGEL, MUSIC, BABY, AND G. Gwen has other versions of the same doll as well. One of them is like a summer theme and the dolls are strutting bikinis and tan skin. The one I have is LOVE and it smells really nice. I haven't tried any of the others but if LOVE smells good I'm sure the others smell just as good. Below is my rating of the HARAJUKU FRAGRANCE called LOVE.   
DESIGN: 
___________
cute appearance, well-made, unique design, and trendy. Really, what's not to love? 


Quantity: 
___________
unfortunately there is not a lot of perfume that is supplied with this fragrance. With a price of $30.00USD this perfume may not be what your looking for. It does have a small quantity, but if used on special occasions it could last a long time. That's what I do and I bought this at least a year ago and I still have juice. However, if used regularly it will not last very long. 


PRICE: 
_________
I bought this fragrance at Ross for exactly $30.00USD. In my opinion thirty dollars is about average for a perfume but there are some places online that are selling this perfume for a little under thirty dollars. It depends where you search. Ebay would be a great site to search for bargains. Also be aware that their is a smaller size than the original, which is 10ml, the original amount is 30ml. So if you think your getting a good price check that before buying. Like I said before, I bought this at least a year ago so the price probably went down. 

OVERALL: 
______________
overall this is a good perfume, It's not to strong and its not to light. If you are the type of person that prefers strong perfume I wouldn't recommend this to you because it's more in-between. Despite the quantity that is supplied with this perfume the design and price make up for it.

UWAJIMAYA equals LOVE




Uwajimaya is the store my friends and I went to in Portland. Everything in that store is asian, no joke. It's like a Safeway but with asian food.I wish they had a Uwajimaya where I lived, I would go to it everyday just to buy asian sweets. Just like the Poke'mon phrase: I gotta buy em all, Uwajimaya! 

What I got

The long wrapper in the middle is actually a GIANT POCKY.My friend bought a box of giant pocky and gave me one, I was like, "YOSH!" I have to admit they are mighty fun to eat. They are a lot longer and thicker than the original. Which means double the awesomeness. 

Isn't it cute? I think it had containers of Jello in it but I'm not exactly sure if it did or not. 


So much PockyYou can see the big boxes of Pocky on top, they were huge


Don't you just love Hello Kitty!I thought this was the cutest thing, I didn't buy any though since they looked similar to the candy called Strawberry Puffs


I had no idea what this was but the packaging made it look tempting

My Mini Haul



The other day I went to the Portland Mall and picked up some cute items: blush, Hello Kitty candy, and a ring. Two of the items I snagged were from Forever 21 and the other from Sanrio. 



In Forever 21 I bought this adorable floral ring, it was $2.80 with no tax!
I had to snatch this ring since it was so adorable, I love the pink color as well as the design. I have been buying a lot of things with flowers lately so when I seen this I couldn't resist not to say no. 

 The bronzer  had small sparkles in it and looked abosolutely adorable but when I put it on, to my dismay, looked similar to a bronzer I previously owned. How sad, huh?Oh well, at least the price was reasonable, right?

 In Sanrio they have just about anything thats Hello Kitty. Unfortunately the store was small. I wasn't too bummed considering the fact that the prices, as usual, were over priced.A tiny plush key chain there is around seven dollars! But I couldn't live without buying anything from there so I decided to get this cute looking lollipop. I hope it tastes as good as it looks, I still haven't opened it yet but until then I'm savoring it!But besides that, that is my mini Haul. ~
