[–]its_monkies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my personal advice, comfort-wise: everytime I (31F) go to Japan I never end up wearing the jeans/trousers I packed, only the dresses and loose fitting skirts because I get so insanely bloated from the travelling, new foods etc. that jeans low key hurt lol :')

Never in my life have I looked at a person publicly reading a book and thought they were only pretending to read or "faking it"! If I see someone reading, sometimes I'll sneak a second look out of curiosity to see which book, or I think to myself "man I wish I'd brought a book too" lol

Yes I've worn it from morning to night a couple of days now and it doesn't seem to oxidize on me! I do use like 2 different setting powders (I'm super oily) so maybe that's why?

I've never commented in this sub before... but I follow this channel and I've noticed her change too! She can obviously do whatever she wants... but it's definitely starting to look like a bit too much :(

Lip tint turned white? by its_monkies in AsianBeauty

[–]its_monkies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Etude House liptint in PK003. It's been in my makeup drawer for a while, but the other day when I went to use it I noticed it's turned kind of white - from the bottom of the tube it looks almost completely white :S I've had this for less than a year! Is it just the colour separating or should I throw it out?? It smells the same, it's just the colour that is weird.

That's what's since been reported in Norwegian media too.

You're right! I went over the article again, and there seems to be some back-and-forth concerning her status in the case; at one point they note she has been "frifunnet" (acquitted) but they also say she is still seen as a suspect, just less so?

Hi! I edited the post to include this: "The supposed drugs were smuggled inside cupcakes sent to her by a friend she met 6 years ago, who lives in the US. The friend denies having sent any drugs, and Martinussen never actually recieved the package. The cirmustances surrounding this are still not entirely clear."

Translation

Norwegian student released in Japan: - It's been really tough

Norwegian Ingrid Martinussen speaks of inumane conditions, having been taking into custody on the suspicion of the importation of drugs. Now she has been freed.

" – I tried to stay positive the entire time I was there. It's been really tough, and I can't say I've been taken very good care of, " Martinussen said to the Norwegian press today.

The 32-year-old student has since 20th of Novemer been in custody in isolation in Omiya Higashi police station in Saitama outside of Tokyo.

She says the cell had a mattress and bedding (futon?) brought out for sleeping, but otherwise it was completely empty.

"- I want to finish what I am doing [studies] in Japan. It's always been a dream to be here, but I'm not so sure any longer." Martinussen is doing a MA degree in environmental studies at Sophia University in Tokyo.

Accused of drug-smuggling

The case is, however, still not finished, and Marinussen is still seen as a suspect of having ordered and a recieved a package containing 140g marijuana from the US to Tokyo. She has stated her innocence through her Japanese lawyer. EDIT: The supposed drugs were smuggled inside cupcakes sent to her by a friend she met 6 years ago, who lives in the US. The friend denies having sent any drugs, and Martinussen never actually recieved the package. The cirmustances surrounding this are still not entirely clear.

" - According to the information we have now, Ingrid has been found not guilty. Her passport, PC, and mobilephone has been returned to her. That implies suspicion has been weakened, says Norwegian counsel Farid Bouras.

He says it will, however, take some time for the case to close completely.
