Sigh. Re-ment is not what it used to be. I used to really enjoy all the series they came out with, nearly purchasing every series they made. However this year the series have been a bit naff, as the Brits would say. I do like the Hello Kitty stuff, so far there have been three series of minis but that is nothing compared to the 12 or so Disney minis and furniture that Re-ment has released in 2009.

This was my slowest Re-ment year of all time and since Megahouse is no longer making minis I’m a bit down about collecting right now. For certain if I collected Disney stuff (especially Mickey Mouse) I would be thrilled to no end how Re-ment has tackled that merchandising. How they keep coming up with new Disney series is mind-boggling.

Ahhh the madness of the season is nearly over so it seemed like a good time for me to re-cap some of the kawaii things I got for Christmas.

This was a stocking stuffer for me, a great set of STILA mini lip glazes. These are so sweet and portable and have yummy flavors too. My faves are the pearly and sparkly colors.

This great beauty kit is from POPBeauty and is much more vibrant than it looks in this photo. This is a treasure trove of festive colors ready made for parties and the winter months. You get five eye shadow/liners, two shades of bronzer, two shades of face powder, a multi-hued shimmer palette and eight lip colors, all in a velvet covered box.  It is called Cabaret Bouquet and was on sale at ULTA.

Another great make-up kit this one is from Pixi Beauty. I mean it has a little twee fairy on the box! All the colors are shimmery and sweet. You can get this right in Target and it was on sale to boot. You can also get it online at pixibeauty.com.

My sister-in-law was kind enough to get me this adorable Bare Minerals Sweet Obsession mineral powder eye kit. The smaller size jars come in a little foil candy cups. Arrragghhh – cute overload! So yummy I want to eat them!

Since I get cold tootsies in the winter (yes, even in Florida, what can I say, I am a big baby!) I looked for a pair of faux fur lined boots online and came up with these which were sent overnight from endless.com and arrived on my doorstep on the 24th. I’ve barely taken them off since. Except to put on these:

These are called Chastity Sweater Slippers and were $18 at Target. They are completely faux fur lined and delicious on cold toesies.

Hope your Christmas was loaded with kawaii goodies and joyful happiness. Remember to hit all the After Christmas sales too!

I’ve been away from the kawaii a bit so I have lots to catch up on. You’ll be seeing me more regular-like from now on.

Happy Kawaii New Year!

Just letting you kawaii folks know that I will be taking a little posting break through the end of November. I’ve been busy with work, family and getting ready for the holidays. I promise to post in December once I get everything squared away. It will definitely be a very kawaii Christmas. I plan on doing my Amy Brown Faerie tree as usual plus the traidtional tree, my Barbie tree and some super sweet Hello Kitty decorations as well. More on that in the next few days!

I love to find cute little games to mess with when I need to waste some time. I always think, ugh, I shouldn’t really be wasting any time – I should be doing something really important like saving the rainforest, cleaning the house, working  etc. But sometimes I just want to play a little and I have found some pretty darn kawaii games out there to do just that.

My new time-waster is a game I found on Facebook called SuperPoke! Pets. I am not really sure what a super poke is or what it has to do with keeping a little animated pet but they are super kawaii and I was able to adopt a Dragon!

My dragon’s name is Myridion and here is a snapshot of him in his new Spooky Bedroom Habitat.

Isn’t he the cutest?

You can adopt a bunch of different pets from a panda to sheep to little piggie. Then you spend time decorating your “habitat” and caring for your pet in a Tamagotchi-type fashion. You feed your pet, clean it, tickle it and arrange playdates with friends on Facebook who also have pets. I’m pretty sure there isn’t much else to do except spend more and more silver points on cooler stuff for your habitats and do some gardening. At least that’s what I’ve discovered so far. There may be more to it – they have a very active forum but I haven’t checked it out yet.
