My Valentine's & Review~

It has been around 2 weeks since Valentine's but this is my late post as always =D!
First off, I was able to take photos with Rilakkuma at the party at Japan LA, and I got free stuff!! My boyfriend was a bit freaked out though since he's not use to seeing lolita style ^3^~

Here are some photo overload of the weekend, including the party..Rilakkuma stuff I bought and got for free..some camwhores...and of course my Valentine's Day truffles I made myself for my boyfriend ♥
























NEXT ♥ I will give my promised reviews of the Nars Blush, Lip gloss, and Make Up Forever Mist & Fix!


NARS ORGASM BLUSH


The past few weeks I have been trying out this blush and so far it has done a wonderful job of making me look more healthy and less dead. I love the peachy tones and it is a bit glittery which is fine with me...as long as it doesn't go all over my face and make me look dirty.

I would say the color of this blush is able to build upon if you use a little at a time. For some reason every blush I use does not show up in photographs! When you scroll down later you will notice my blush but it doesn't look very strong. DON'T BE DECEIVED. I had to slather on a bunch of blush just for it to show up on camera!! Anyways a bit off topic, but yes, the blush has a nice color and just don't use too much! I also really like that it stays on my face and doesn't complete fade~~

MY RATING: 8/10 (I have not yet found the ultimate blush I love but this one does a great job in keeping me satisfied)


NARS ORGASM LIP GLOSS



I just want to say I like this lip gloss. Just like the blush it is peachy gold toned and it might seem a bit sticky but it glides on the lips just fine! The downside is I have to wear lipstick or I look a bit dead. That just might be me though because I'm use to wearing lipsticks. Personally I don't think the price is worth it but it is pretty to have. The staying power like most lip glosses isn't very long~All it takes for it to come off is running to class and gulping a bunch of water down and most of it has been rubbed off. It isn't the lip gloss's problem..it's just that almost every lip gloss is like that.

The photos of me wearing this lip gloss will be down there along with the Orgasm blush. (It's basically the same photo) I wear this lip gloss over Chanel's Rouge Allure Boudoir~A very pretty hot pink shade and it becomes more toned down with the peachy color of Orgasm.

My Rating: 7/10 (Very flattering and left me satisfied as well but I just don't understand the hype of Nars..and it's pricey..but I like it ♥)



MAKE UP FOREVER MIX AND FIX


My makeup always comes off. ALWAYS. I hate having to touch up so often because my skin is extremely oily at times even if it is combination skin. I feel that powder makes me look more clean and not so shiny...so I have been looking for a solution.

I have tried oil control primers, creams, etc but I haven't found them to work very well. Then I read a bunch of wonderful reviews about Mix & Fix and decided to buy a small bottle and give it a try!

I LOVE IT. It works quite well because usually after one class..just ONE class, I am oily already and need to powder. This spray leaves me looking non oily and keeps my makeup on for a great amount of time. If I touch my face though, I will think it feels a bit oily but once I stare in the mirror, I can't tell at all!
That is why I think this is wonderful~~~Especially for those days where I have class from morning till late afternoon~

The cons is that the spray is hard to distribute it evenly over the face and sometimes I feel like a bunch of liquid just got thrown at me. After it dries though I feel ok and then just to be safe I pat my face with loose powder to set the spray. Also this makeup fix spray probably won't keep my skin perfect for hours but it does greatly reduce my oiliness. It would probably work really well for someone with skin not as oily as mine. Overall though, I really enjoyed this bottle and I will for sure purchase a new one after this runs out. I can have one less worry about my face now =]

MY RATING: 9/10 ♥ ♥ ♥


Scroll down for photos of me wearing Nars Orgasm blush & Lip gloss~I'm not sure which photo is easier to see the color but um..enjoy? ^3^

Oh Packages how I love you♥

So Long Story short~My boyfriend wanted to get me something I wanted for Valentine's Day and I want a surprise but NoOoOo~~so he ended up paying for one of the things I ordered online since Free shipping on orders over $100! I ordered on Saturday and the seller shipped it on Monday so I was really happy that I received it today!!!

Anyways I'm totally going to go broke because I'm about to order more circle lenses with my lovely friends since we all have this addiction going on!

So here are the items I ordered, and they are all winter items even though it is spring?? But, I can't help it T^T!! Everything was just sooo extremely Kawaii♥♥♥ so I must have it and save it for winter =D~~Simple as that!




This was the lovely brown set my boyfriend got for me ^_^!! Too bad it's not surprising since I ordered it and he just paid for this set =___="...maybe I should make him wrap it up and give it to me on Valentine's Day just so I feel like I received a gift....




AISH. I just want to say I LOVE Pink...so even though the brown looks better I NEEDED to get this set. I think there is something about me purchasing the same EXACT item...except in different colors ^_^..hee♥




MORE PINK!! This is a winter sweater also by Liz Lisa♥ I was planning to wear this on Saturday to the Rilakkuma Valentine's Party but then I'm sure there are a lot of other girls that are into Japanese fashion and probably have this shirt...so sadly I'll have to find something more unique to wear T^T~otherwise I love the quality and the pretty bows ♥


As for my previous hauls~I haven't had time to exactly try them on or try the makeup items for a long period of time.The stuff I have tried was the Nars Lip gloss, the blush, and Make Up Forever Mist & Fix. I will review my haul further after a more long term use =]

One of these days~I'll be sure to take a clear photo and show the effects. For now, I do love the blush! It can be a little bit too much for my taste at times since sometimes I put too much on at once. Otherwise the blush is pretty and flattering to even my tanned skin! The lip gloss was pretty but it's quite expensive ^^"~~

Something I do love though is etude brand lip gloss and blush! I have been using them for a while and it's pretty and pink!! The light pink blush and gloss both give off a cutesy look when applied♥

I use Strawberry Milk Peach Water Gloss & Moonlight Shimmer Pink Blush♥






Oh yeah~the only sweater I managed to snap a photo in was my Bunny sweater without the hood♥ I also want to share the new leopard bag I got^_^ I ♥ it!! Very big and soft and useful!




I love how big it is~and it doesn't get dirty easy!!


The Bunny sweater I snapped while on the way to eat Korean BBQ~

Lastly~Just because I'm already posting a bunch of photos~ here are my most recent natural eyelash purchase ♥

P.S: MY SUITE MATE SECRETLY SNEAKED HER PUPPY INTO OUR DORM AND WE LOVE HER&hearts







Sorry for the Long Post! ^3^

AII~~BUSY!!

I haven't updated for a while but this little break was much shorter than my previous breaks =D!

Last week was just really crazy with my school work and week of welcome! I helped out to pass out fliers and other things for my club and it was a miracle how I managed to pass my quizzes and speeches and other stuff with how much procrastination I have been doing!

I also got all the stuff I ordered which is just wonderful =D! The hat and all the shirts I ordered were wonderful quality and the makeup wasn't bad. If I have more time I'll review it but, I haven't used them long enough to tell how good they are.

Besides all that, last week I got SCAMMED!!!! T^T IT WAS SO WALLETBREAKING!!! I was trying to be nice because I felt sorry for the bastard but what did he do??? HE TOOK MY MONEY FOR A STUPID COMPANY CALLED MTS CIRCULATION LLC >=O!!! He was like on drugs too apparently because of how much he was shaking! He even tried to make me and my suite mates feel guilty because he supposedly needed only "3 more" subscriptions. What was really stupid of me was that I couldn't see all the obvious signs of scamming even though they were like in my face! Also that stupid subscription of cosmo magazine was like $50 something for 2 years!! It's a rip off and I will never receive those subscriptions TT^TT!!! I also found it really dumb that this has been happening for the past few days and the school didn't report it!! They didn't send a freaken e-mail at all until me and my friend went and told them about our case. If they have emailed earlier, I'm positive less people would've been scammed...including me.

Well, what's been done has been done~ I can't really do anything about it but at least I know I became more aware. Next time someone comes up to me before they get the sentence out, I will say, "NO. NOT INTERESTED." If they say, "I want to go to Italy..." My friend and I will tell them to screw it and go to an Italian Restaurant and play pretend =__=!!! I feel a bit better after ranting about this problem to like every person I see ^_^ and also I went home and cried to my parents and then told my aunt and I got money =D! Still, that $50 something will never come back to me and I could have bought this Liz Lisa shirt I wanted!

Anyways, enough of ranting~here are some photos:

The sephora haul ♥ with lots of samples!


The Nars Fashion Icon set~Everything Orgasm =D


Kei went and got me my Seventeen magazine from Mitsuwa and it came with these cute One piece sockies!! I remember always seeing this character at Family Mart ^3^



My three Bunny sweaters~I wish the white and gray sweater was a bit longer~then it would be perfect >_< as for the other one~I loveee it!





By the way~I also hanged out with my friend Mika ♥ and we camwhored a lot on webcam o_O"


My everyday Vinegar with my Rilakkuma coaster ^3^

Last of all...The Week Of Welcome~Me in Action!! These were taken by Jay, our club photographer...and I realized my face is really ROUND T^T Also the tank top shirt the president threw over my hoodie made me look quite Round too =__=...*sigh* If only I had a mirror to look at then...









Okie~that was a bunch of photos~at least I didn't make them large ^^..if you want to see large just click on it..I think that should work???

That should conclude this post~I will go try my best and finish up my readings...try to lose some weight and keep a weight loss journal hopefully...

I hope I can keep No Procrastination Modes On and find a job before my parents come back from Taiwan in a month >_< Also I will enjoy my end of the week with Welcome Party, Valentine's Day weekend and if you happen to go to Cal State Long Beach~~ I will be at Brotman Hall on February 14th to give FREE HUGS with the TSA club =D and it is from 11 am-2 pm although I'll probably leave by 2 ^_^"


Bye Bye♥
