I think I need some excitement in my life judging from the kind of things I do nowadays. I ordered some mineral makeup samples just so I could try out the blue-eyeshadow-overkill Lil Mayar look. Lil Mayar is the protagonist in a new anime called Ergo Proxy by manglobe. She's a typical goth and has intense navy blue colour surrounding the outline of the entire eye.

Okay, so I did the best I could. I think I need better quality foam head applicators. The ones I used were too rough and tended to rub a bit of colour off the areas that I'd already applied on. Mmm, the makeup smelled nice..

I don't wear makeup at all so, the mops got a bit of a shock when she turned around to see large dark panda like circles over my eyes. My brother who didn't say anything for a while finally decided what to think of it: disgusting.

I thought it was okay though. Even though the colour came out to be darker than I expected. Very gothic-looking.

I also got a gray pvc bag wrapped parcel in the mail a few days later. I thought it looked very... threatening. Like a bomb, to put that more specifically.

Okay, so it couldn't have been a bomb because I was expecting it. The very much delayed (release date pushed back from 19/04 to 31/05) Final Fantasy XII First Press Edition Original Soundtrack! Hurrah!

I did think, how impulsive of myself, since the soundtrack wasn't composed by Nobuo Uematsu.
Oh what the heck! It's still FF and all these years of painfully watching the first press editions sell out must have left deeper a scar than I'd thought.

They generously stuffed nice green paper inside the box...

And there was an advertisement pamphlet of some sort plus the invoice inside the box... Cool...

The OSTs all bubble wrapped nicely!

Well, cdjapan says "Special case, 28 page booklet, super picture labeled discs" included in the first press edition so, well, at least this is how it looks like on the outside! I'm not ripping open the plastic just yet so you gotta wait.
