Firmoo Glasses {#DBSN62203 C104} Review~!

Hey Guys~!

After I received my glasses I ordered from Firmoo. I thought I'd review them for you guys since it's my first time trying their glasses. I've owned them for a while now, so I hope this review is very informative. Today I'll be reviewing the glasses I received. Quick thank you to Sakuranko, cause I got these glasses through her giveaway. So let's start~~!

Everything arrived in a small package (which I forgot to take a picture of before throwing out.) The inside is bubble wrap to protect everything. I was expecting just the glasses in a cheap plastic case, but I saw this. The case the glasses shipped in is super durable. The pattern is a map, and I think it's super pretty. There also was a little kit to fix the glasses, in case the screws come loose.

CN Direct Wishlist~!

Hey Guys~!

Today I have another fashion wishlist post~! I have heard about the website CN Direct from different blogs and videos. I decided to check it out and I fell in love with a lot of the items offered there. Everything is super inexpensive, which is great if you are looking for basic clothing pieces, and don't have a ton of money. So let's start~~!

G.H. Bass & CO. Zee Bootie Review~!

Hey Guys~!

I am a huge fan of wearing boots. They're really comfy, go with everything, and are super cute. Last summer, I went to an outlet mall and got these boots from Bass. I've bought other shoes from Bass and sometimes they are a hit or miss for me. Today I thought I'd review them, since they are available still on the Bass website. So let's start~~!

The boots came in a regular shoe box. Nothing too exciting here.

The boots are called Zee and they're in the color Mushroom. It's a taupe grey color, and it also comes in black.

The description on the website says the boot is built for cold weather, with a rubber sole and a 2.5" heel. However there is nothing that says the boot is waterproof and there isn't a lot of traction.

They are super comfortable, but I did have to break them in. I didn't get blisters from wearing them, which is great. But when I take them off, sometimes my feet are a bit sore.

I paid around $60 for them, but they now cost $45 on the Bass website. I think both prices are fine, since the boots are really good quality, but I do think you can find an equivalent for less.

Packaging: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡ ♡
Quality: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Comfort: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡
Price: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡
Overall: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡

I really like these boots. They aren't like others that I own, color wise. Besides having to break them in, they are quite comfortable. I do think they are a little pricey, but if you're looking for well made and high quality boots, these are great.

I hope you guys enjoyed today's shoe review~! If you have tried any shoes from Bass, let me know your opinions on them in the comments below. Also, if you want to check these shoes out {click here} to go the the Bass Store. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you guys at my next post.

February Favorites 2016~!

Hey Guys~!

It is that time of the month, the time when I share my monthly favorites~!! February has been insanely busy for me, finishing up school, finishing up my applications for college, and of course flying to China. For the next few months, my favorites posts won't be as long as they normally are, unless I do a haul sometime soon (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ Anyways, it's time to share the monthly favorites. So let's start~~!

Makeup

L'Oreal Miss Manga Rock Mascara

This past month, I've just grown confident in my bare, makeup-less face. Except mascara is necessary. When I don't sleep well, it opens up my eyes. This mascara has been one of my favorites for a while, cause it does lengthen and volumize my lashes.

Dog Dog Wishlist~!

Hey Guys~!

After reading about this store, Dog Dog, from another blog, I've been constantly looking through the clothes on their site. I love how inexpensive everything is, and I don't mind if the stuff sold are knockoffs. Today I'll be sharing my current Dog Dog wishlist. So let's start~~!

Fruity Bag Strawberry

October Favorites 2015~!

Hey Guys~!

It's November, meaning it's almost December, meaning it's almost 2016~!! Sorry for not posting as much content as I normally do, I have been really busy with planning for college. Today I will me sharing my favorites from the month of October. I have some makeup, accessories, and other bits to share with you guys. So let's start~~!

Broken Porcelain Doll Costume {and Makeup Tutorial}~!

Hey Guys~!

Happy Halloween~!! Today I will be showing you my Porcelain Doll costume that I'm wearing to a party with some friends. There will be a makeup tutorial and an O.O.T.D. so if you are last minute with your costumes like me, you have an idea. So let's start~~!

Cute Kawaii Wishlist~!

Hey Guys~!

Recently I came across a store called Cute Kawaii, where they sell Japanese clothing. They asked me to do a wish list post for their store, and cause everything is super cute, I said yes. Today I'll be sharing some of my favorite items from their store. Also, they gave me my own coupon code, so if you wan 10% off of anything you buy from them, use the code "alluringalyssbeauty." So let's start~~!

Picture Day Tips~!

Hey Guys~!

For a lot of things in life, school ID, driver's licences, passports, etc, we need pictures taken. Today I'll be sharing some makeup and fashion tips to help you take the best picture possible. There won't be anything here about angles or lighting, because sometimes you have to take pictures head on. So let's start~~!

Makeup Tip #1: Don't Use Any Foundation or Powder with SPF 20 or Higher

This will cause your face to appear lighter than the rest of your body. It will look like your face doesn't belong to your body, and if you're pale like me you will look like a ghost. Instead, use something with either no SPF or low SPF, that way your face won't reflect light and look too light.

YesStyle Wishlist~!

Hey Guys~!

I've been doing a ton of online shopping for school, and I thought I'd share some of the items I plan on purchasing. Today I'll be sharing clothing from the store YesStyle. I found this site while looking for places to buy Mori Girl fashion, which is one of my favorite clothing style. There will be a lot Mori Fashion in this wishlist, but also a few other things. So let's start~~!

Lace Trim Skirt

Okay, this is just plain adorable. I love lace and bows, and I have a lot of blouses that would look nice with this. Or I'd wear it with an oversized sweater. 

Lace Trim Collar Blouse

Something else with lace~! I think this blouse would be really nice paired with a pleated skirt in another color or some jeans. The collar has a school uniform vibe, which I really like.

Two Toned Cropped Sweater

I am a sweater addict and this one is really comfy looking. I love the striped design and the color scheme. Also I love the cable knitting. I'd wear it with a collared shirt underneath, because I love the look of a collar poking out. 

Lace Trim Plaid Mini Skirt

I always liked plaid, but I'm pretty particular with the design. I like the design and the detailing of the bow and the lace trim really adds to it for me. It gives the plaid pattern and cuter look and I would wear this with a solid colored top. 

Gingham Collar Breakfast Print Shirt

Again, this looks so comfortable. I like the color scheme, the grey with the blue, and I think the print is super cute. I'd wear this with leggings and some boots for a thrown together outfit that is still clean looking and cute. 

Patchwork Shorts

To be honest, I have no clue how I'd coordinate this with anything I own, but I just think it looks super cute. Also these would be really easy to DIY. Anyway I just love all the different patterns and buttons, it adds a whimsical look to the shorts.

I hope you all enjoyed my YesStyle wishlist~! I might buy a few of these, so let me know your opinion on what I should get in the comments below. Or just let me know which ones are your favorites. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

Samantha Vega Sailor Moon Luna Purse Review~!

Hey Guys~!

In my Sailor Moon themed wishlist, {click here} to read it if you haven't yet, and in my Forever21 Haul, {click here} if you haven't watched it yet, I showed this Luna bag from the Samantha Vega collection, which was on AliExpress. This was my first time ordering from AliExpress, so I didn't know what to expect. Today I'll be reviewing the bag as well as my experience with AliExpress. So let's start~~!

My purse came in this heavily taped up box, which was a little dented. I was worried the bag would be damaged inside, but thankfully it wasn't. The bag itself was in a plastic bag, with nothing else to protect it.

To my surprise, inside the bag there were two little gifts. One of them was this mint macaroon coin purse, which is super cute and squishy. The other was this little pouch of potpourri, which smells really nice. I wasn't charged for either of these, so I guess they were just little gifts from the seller.

The bag itself is made out of good quality faux leather with gold accents on the strap, bottom of the bag, and the moon on the front. Both of the rhinestones on the moon where there, which was something I was worried would be missing. There aren't any scratches on the bag, which is also great.

Bottom View

The interior is a durable nylon with a super cute pattern of Luna and Artemis. There are tons of little pockets that make it easy to store your phone, wallet, and whatever else you may need. There is a zipper pocket as well as two little pouches on the other side. There is a thin pocket under the flap, which would be great for a train or bus card.

This is the Samatha Vega tag. It says 'Fulfilled Love. This bag is for a girl who always has fun.'

The strap is adjustable, but I personally like wearing it cross body so it's long.

My one complaint with the bag is that it's hard to close. The snap that is used to close it is sometimes hard to use, especially when it comes to closing it. 

I bought this bag for $36.50 on AliExpress, but sadly the seller I bought it from sold out. There are a ton of this styled bag on AliExpress, but if you want the real one like mine, do your research by reading reviews. The knockoff does cost less, but the details aren't the same as this one. I got free shipping, which was also great because this came from China, and I usually have the pay shipping.

I ordered this on June 28th and I got it on July 8th, when on the website it said it would come between July 13th - July 28th. I was super shocked and because it came early I thought it would be ruin. Thankfully I was wrong and I'm so happy with this bag.

Packaging: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡
Exterior: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Interior: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Quality: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Price: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Shipping: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Overall: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I am more than in love with this bag. I've been wearing it everywhere and getting tons of compliments on it. The quality is amazing and I definitely will be ordering from AliExpress another time soon. If you're a Sailor Moon fan like me, I would recommend getting this. I think this bag is a great way to show your a fan without being too out there. For what I paid, I think it was worth it completely.

I hope you all enjoyed today's review. Share your AliExpress experiences and/or your opinions on this bag in the comments below, I love hearing from you guys. Also, I'm planning a Sailor Moon themed outfit, so look out for that. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

July Favorites 2015~!

Hey Guys~!

It's August, meaning summer is almost over for me. I start school the beginning of September and this is my final year of high school. This past month has been crazy, I've been visiting colleges, at camp, and traveling with my family. Because of all my traveling, I haven't tried a ton of new products, but I've been watching some new anime while driving from place to place. Also I have some food favorites, something new for my favorites posts. So let's start~~!

Makeup 

Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly B.B. Cream: I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup recently. It's super hot where I live, so my only face makeup has been B.B. cream. I really love how easy it is to apply this particular B.B. cream, I usually use my hands and it blends nicely.

Revlon Lipstick in Wink for Pink: I have been loving this lipstick, it's a great natural pink color. The finish is really nice, it has a light shine, which makes my lips look hydrated. I have also used it as a cream blush and it blends nicely.

Nail Polish

Essie Topless and Barefoot: I have been searching for a nude nail polish that I think looks nice on me, and I think I found it. This polish has a pink undertone, which I think looks nice with my skin tone. Also I've been wearing this with a matte top coat, and it looks really cool.

China Glaze Below Deck: I love all shades of purple nail polish, and this one is really unique in my collection. It's a natural grey toned purple and I really like how it goes with everything. You wouldn't think that, but I like the contrast it has with my more colorful outfits. 

Anime

Owari no Seraph Vampire Reign: I am in love with this anime, it is one of the few vampire anime I like. The animation is beautiful and the characters are great. I talked about one of my favorite characters, Shinoa, in a collaboration with Minae, {click here} to read it, and honestly Shinoa is the reason I keep watching it. I heard there will be a second season coming out in October, so I'm super excited. 

Food


Panera Chicken Cobb and Avocado Salad: Okay, I rarely talk about food, but recently I was in New York City and I tried this salad for the first time, and now I'm in love. It's super fresh and I love all the different textures in it. I eat really basic salads, after this though I feel like I need to work more on my salad game.


Meiji Chocorooms: I saw these at H-Mart and the name just intrigued me. They taste like chocolate pocky, but with way more chocolate. For me, they're really rich tasting, and I can only have one or two without feeling sick. But they are amazing, if you love chocolate. I want to see if there are other flavors to try, just for some variety.

I hope you guys enjoyed this past month's favorites~! In the comments, share some of your favorites from July, I love hearing from you guys. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.
