November haul.

Hello! I'm with a little haul of what I had gathered up from the month of November.

What I have gotten is this FAKE bull skull head from Cotton On. I always wanted one, but all of them are usually real and very expensive like $40-$100 for it. So when I came across this for $30, I just had to get it right away and I'm just in love with it. And I guess they don't have it anymore, but they have a stag head which is a little similar. Click Here! 

Next few items are from varies of stores. I got this leather jacket from Fuego on sale for $20. Who knew they would have a super cute leather jacket. I unsteadily fell in love with this jacket the moment I saw it.

The next items is from Pacsun and what is nice is that Pacsun at my mall was closing out, so they were having a 60% off sale of the entire store. I got some boyfriend jeans from gypsy warrior for about $20 and before the price was about $60? I believe, but it was a steal the moment I saw it.

I got these floral pants that I was on a hunt for, for a long time. Then there's some necklaces that were under $4-5. Every girl needs some chains to layer up their closet.  

I can't wait to wear these shirts in the summer or the spring when it gets a little warmer!

 Here's some shirts from Forever21. A crop top and a fitted scoop neck burgundy shirt.

It's been awhile... christmas is around the corner

It has been awhile since I've last blogged, but I'm back...hopefully... Wellllllll.. school was kicking my butt. I hate exams and classes that you're unsure of what your current grade is. It just has been a lot of stress as of lately and I've been super busy with work and studying a lot. Like a lot a lot haha.

ANYWAYS, I have bought some stuff over the course of the month of November. I think clothes will be in another post, I had accumulated a lot of cute clothes because of school... yeah. Shopping heals the stress and soul. It's true!! Well here's some of the stuff I had bought!

First off is "Girl Online" by Zoella Sugg. I was sooo excited when Zoella had announced that she was releasing a book, I just had to buy it! And if you are thinking about buying the book, well Zoella has released the first chapter of her book on her facebook and I'll leave a link for you guys to read. First Chapter of "Girl Online". I haven't read too much of it, but I'll write a review of it when I finish the book.

Next item on my list is Colourpop's Lippiestix. I have bought the colors Frida, I heart this, BFF, Creature, Feminist, Bullchic, and Frenchie. 

From left to right, (BFF, Frida, Frenchie, I Heart This, Creature, Femenist, and Bullchic)

So far I have only tried Femenist for a little bit just to test it out and then wiped it off because I had to go to work. But just today I just tried Creature, which is a matte burgundy lippy. I worn it from 11:30am til 6pm-ish. I ate korean barbecue, drank a lot of tea, and it seriously stayed on all day. I didn't really need to reapply at all, it was pigmented by the time I took it off. And around 5pm, I realized that it became stained after awhile. So this product gets an A+ in my book sooo far. I will test out the others eventually... When I do, I'll do another review if my view has change on them.  

Now for the last item for this post is the BH cosmetics brush  

 Sorry it's a little blurry! I just realized it was blurry when I was typing this blog. But these are the rose gold brush set and I have to say! For $20 brush set, they are so soft and quality. I haven't tried them yet(just got them literally today), but I will tomorrow! 

I also bought my mom, some brushes as well for christmas, but shhh... she's doesn't know about them! Sadly, I didn't take a picture of them because it's already wrapped up. So yeahhhh, butttt she had recently bought the Too-Faced christmas-y carousel pack that includes four eyeshadow quads and two brush and bronzer. Since she's still a beginner at makeup and does not own any makeup brush I had bought her a beginner type brush set from Bh cosmetics, which is the pop art brush set. The pop art set includes the basic essentials for beginners or so I believe!

Speaking of christmas, Let's talk gifts! I know it can be really difficult finding gifts for him and her. So I came up with a guide of what to get. (hopefully it will help)

Try to figure out what they are into or what they really need. This should be achieved by the course of time and examining what they guilty pleasure is. 

An example would be my aunt. Over the course of two years or so, I realized she really loves tea. She has two drawers of tea, she orders tea at the restaurant everything, and she drinks ALL the time. So what I had bought her is a vintage tea cups with cute designs that also comes with an assortment of tea. It's perfect, it's what she loves and she can enjoy it in a cute tea cup. 

Another example would be my dad. over the course of time I realized he lovesssss drinking coffee every morning, but all of his tumblers were pretty small size. So for his birthday, which was in June, I bought him a venti size tumbler from starbucks and two coffee bag. Perfect for him! you know why? He has been using that mug literally everyday since I got it for him.

Here's a quickie though! 

for her:

Makeup, Brushes

Eyeshadow palettes 

(ex. lorac skinny palette maybe $15 and very pigmented)

Vintage items, ex. tea cups with saucer plates

(every girl love vintage looking stuff these days!)

bath & body works candles and/or lotion

(we can't resist the scents, I can't even)

Wall Decor

(I know all of us girls love to put cute stuff on our walls)

this might be tough, but

for him:

Tumbler for coffee/tea

hats , ex. beanies, caps

(pacsun? H&M? There's variety out there!) 

Scarf

(guys needs scarves too!)

Inside joke ideas

(give them a laugh, they like it!)

Well that's all that I want to say on this blog! Thanks for reading! <3

October 2014 IPSY bag #beautycandy

Birthday idea: DIY Beauty box

So I was trying to figure what I want to give my friend for her birthday, and it just came to me that I should make her a little personal beauty box. 

How I started was finding a box and I conventiently had this box from my order from urban outfitters. So for the out side of the box I got wrapping paper from my local Fred Meyer and used ribbons to clean up the sloppy work. Then for the inside I used streamers and folded it in a zig zag for a good two hours. And then I stick some stock paper from Joanne's (only about $0.50), then I stick a little information on the stock paper to get it detail about each item I put in the box. 

Now for the items in the box. 

I got my friend, two wet n wild lipsticks, bath bomb, facial treatment, NYX jumbo eye pencil, and two asian sheet mask.
