Trip to Sephora


Hey girls! ^__^ It's been awhile since I've posted; I've been busy with studying for exams and working~ ;A; But, I had some time to stop by Sephora the other day and spend some of the gift card money I have

Firstly, I've had a problem with my foundation for the longest time! I have really dry skin and every foundation that I use flakes up and makes it look so obvious and horrible. D: I looked for a super moisturizing foundation that would cover-up, but look like I'm not wearing anything. The lady offered to me a tinted moisturizer! It. Is. Perfect! :3 Here's what I bought:


It's super moisturizing, and also makes my skin look peachy and glowy! :D It was $21.

I also bought a few lashes for $8 each.

The first one is called "Elegant" and the second one is called "Flair". I actually am not super satisfied with these lashes! The band is very flexible, which is good, but I feel it's just too fragile. Here you can see:


They are very natural-looking and light-weight, I even forget they are there~ :O
Here's how they look!

Elegant
Flair
For those that like super light-weight natural looking lashes, these are for you! I like a more visible lash though. You can purchase them here! Thanks for reading

Mini Charlotte Russe Haul

Hello all! <3 Today I went shopping and this was my coord:

Jeans: Almost Famous
Top: Charlotte Russe
Wedge Boots: Charlotte Russe
Necklace: Forever 21
Here's some detail shots:



If you don't shop at Charlotte Russe, you should! :P They have a wide selection of budget-friendly clothes for all styles. They have many gyaru-friendly pieces :3 Here's a few things that I bought!

1. Cute summery dress. I know it's not summer yet, but I'm going on vacation to a hot place in the springtime, so I'll need some floaty minidresses ^__^ This one has frills on the bust, which helps small-chested girls like me. T__T
 2. Gold starry dress. Another minidress for my vacation. This would've been nice to wear during the holidays!
3. A plain button-down. Actually, I bought this at Hollister! Every girl needs a simple button-down in their wardrobe. They're a great basic that can be used to create many classy and put-together outfits.
4. A tribal print off-the-shoulder top. This isn't really my style, but I bought it anyways because I liked the colors, and it would be perfect for my vacation :D It's a very summery and vibrant light-weight top.


I also bought some accessories! Right now, Charlotte Russe is having an accessory sale, 2 for $10!

1. Simple fedora hat.
 2. Unique jewellery.
 I loved the earrings, they are FIERCE! :D Look at how big they are :O

Thanks to anyone who is reading! I really really appreciate all my readers~I know I'm not the best at this, but thank you all for reading & giving me support ^__^

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a Bear

^ I don't know what's up with that title lol~ xD Today I went to Macy's and discovered that they were having a one day sale! :O When I went there a few weeks ago, I fell in love with this fuzzy hooded vest. I didn't buy it because it was $50. But today when I went again, guess how much it was? $19.99! :DD <3 I had to buy it.
Soooo cute! :3 It's so fuzzy and has pom pom balls and bear ears (hence the title lol). It's so warm and cuddly~ Anyways, for some of you, it may not be too late to go to Macy's! They have great deals right now~ Hurry hurry!

Recent Buys

Hello! Happy Sunday! Hope you enjoyed your weekend~  I'm just going to share some things I purchased yesterday!

Firstly, I went thrift shopping at Plato's Closet again haha~ I bought this sweater, which is originally from Forever 21. It cost $8!

I also bought this pink plaid dress, which was originally from Victoria's Secret's clothing line, PINK.


At first I was a bit iffy about it, but it quickly grew on me! On the back, there's a cute rhinestone decor. I really love the ruffled bottom; it's so cute!It cost $14.

After Plato's, I went to Forever 21 in search of a bronze-colored necklace. This is what I picked out from their 30% off sale. Everyone head to Forever 21! :O


Close up:


It was about $9! If you like this necklace, you can purchase it here if you don't live near a Forever 21!

Thrifty Buys

Happy friday!This is just going to be a short post about a couple things I bought from the thrift store today. Actually, about half the clothes I own are thrifted! ha~

Firstly, I bought these shoes for $14.

(They look a bit worn out, but aren't really that bad!)
They are from the brand Xhilaration, whose products can normally be found at Target stores here in the U.S.! Normally, I'm not a fan of pointed-toed shoes, but the studs really just captured my heart. :3 I think, however, that I bought them a size too small, because it makes my toes look like this:

I really don't like flats that show the lines of my toes like that. They only had one pair though! The shoes are a bit tight/uncomfortable on my feet, but I suppose they're okay.

Anyways, I bought some jewelery, including this adorable Rilakkuma ring!

(pancakes lol~)
Also, I bought a pearl necklace and a cute monkey necklace. :3


Finally, I purchased this bracelet with a doggie on it! I don't normally wear bracelets very much, but I thought it was cute. I love the bow on it!

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Yilu Ponytail Hair Extension Review

Hello! This is a bit of a late post. My Yilu ponytail extensions came about a week ago. They cost $7.99 with FREE shipping! :D

Here's the product info:
  • Brand: Yilu
  • Color: #1B (black)
  • Hair type: Synthetic
  • Style: Clip-on
  • Texture/length: Straight/long
Like I've stated before, I originally ordered 2 because I thought that they would be thin. However, I was surprised at the thickness! It was a really full ponytail. ^__^ Very soft too, and it didn't look synthetic at all. Some camwhore pics:



Not very good pics; I look messy after a long day at school!

There are 2 downsides to this ponytail. Firstly, it seems to tangle a bit easily, and it's not very easy to brush! I guess it's okay, but I was surprised that it tangled so easily while being so soft!

Secondly, the securing clip is not very secure. xD I know it's only there for a little extra support, but I would've liked if it at least snapped down. Observe:


In conclusion, the pro's and con's to this ponytail weigh about equally. It's a good ponytail, but you probably shouldn't excercise or jump around in them! In general I like them~
