August Favorites 2016 and My Instagram~!

Hey Guys~!

This is my first post in my university room~!! Yes, I'm now in college, and I'm really excited to start something new, in a new city. I'm not sure how often I'll be able to post, that will depend on my schedule (which I won't know till a few weeks of school have passed and I get used to everything.) Anyways today I'm sharing my favorites from the past month. So let's start~~!

Wait, I have something else to share with you guys. This past year I started an Instagram for my cosplay. I've contemplated sharing it with you guys, since I get more personal there, but I finally feel ready. So please check it out, {My Instagram} to keep up with my crazy college/cosplay life.

Makeup

NYX Tinted Brow Mascara

I'd never tried this type of product for my brows before, but now I'm in love with it. It not only keeps my brows in place, but it also fills them in with one step.

Revlon Balm Stain in Honey

I've tried this product in bolder colors, and now I finally have a more natural one. It's a pink toned nude, which I like. And I find it moisturizing too, which makes it super easy to wear.

Nail Polish

Essie Parka Perfect

It's a really nice blue-ish grey and I love it. I've been wearing it the past week and it's a really nice color. I do wish I had a top coat to wear with it, cause it kind of chips easily.

TV Shows / Anime

Miraculous Ladybug

Honestly wasn't expecting to like it, but I love this show way too much now. I kind of want to cosplay Ladybug/Marinette, but I don't know when I'll do that.

Danganronpa 3

I've been looking forward to this since it was announced like a year ago. It is so great, even though all my favorite characters have been dying, and I have so many cosplays I want to do from this.

I hope you guys enjoyed this past month's favorites~! If you want to keep up with me, please follow me on Instagram (I'm planning a giveaway over there just saying σ(≧ε≦ｏ) ) In the comments below, let me know what you've been liking. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

November Favorites 2015~!

Hey Guys~!

Sorry that this month I didn't post all that much. I had something planned to go up a few days ago, but my cat was sick and I had to take her to the vet. She's alright now, but last week I was busy taking care of her and going to the vet. Today I'll be sharing my monthly favorites with you from November. I have a variety of things to share with you all. So let's start~~!

Here's a picture of my cat for you guys <33

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~~!

Favorite Autumn Nail Polishes~!

Hey Guys~!

It is autumn, possibly my favorite season, and I love painting my nails, which is a given based on my nail art tutorials. Today I decided to share an updated version of my favorite autumn nail polishes. I tried to have a variety of colors and finishes here, so there would be something for everyone. So let's start~~!

Kiss Gel Dress Review~!

Hey Guys~!

Today I have a review for a product I've never tried before, nail strips. If you don't know what they are, basically they are strips for your nails that come in tons of colors and designs. I've heard mixed reviews on them, and my friend gave me a set for my birthday. Now I'll be sharing what I think of them for you guys. So let's start~~!

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.

April Favorites 2015~!

Hey Guys~!

April was a crazy month for me, Anime Boston and planning for college have been the major events going on. Now it is May, and with my birthday and final exams coming up I feel like I can't catch a break. Anyways, today I'll be sharing my monthly favorites with you guys. I have some new favorites to tell you guys about. So let's start~~! 

*✯。.: Makeup :.。✯*

Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly B.B. Cream

With it finally getting warmer, I've gotten back into wearing B.B. Creams. My favorite one is from Holika Holika, and it has really nice coverage. Also it has SPF which protects my skin from the sun.

Milani Bella Eyes in Bella Taupe and Bella White

I've been wearing these two shadows together, white on the lid and taupe in the crease. It is my everyday look, and it always turns out looking great. 

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp 

 I got this a while ago, and now it is one of my rediscovered favorites. This color is a natural red toned nude color, and surprisingly I've been enjoying the matte formula. 

*✯。.: Nail Polish :.。✯*

Essie's Petal Pusher

I got my nails painted this color at the salon this month, and now I really want to buy it. It's a cool toned grey color with purple undertones. This color is really wearable, and it lasted a really long time without chipping.

*✯。.: Skin Care :.。✯*

Simple Replenishing Moisturizer

I decided that it was time to try a new moisturizer, and since I like this company's makeup wipes,  I bought their moisturizer. It feels really lightweight and has no artificial fragrances or dyes. 

*✯。.: Perfume :.。✯*

Daisy by Marc Jacobs

This has become my everyday perfume, and now I have it in a roller ball so I can carry it around. I just love how it smells and even the roller ball has cute packaging. 

*✯。.: Anime :.。✯*

Nisekoi Season 2

 I was so excited to see this anime got another season. So far I've been really enjoying it, and I think the animation looks so much prettier. I'm hoping this season will get farther into the plot, but we'l have to wait and see. 

I hope you guys enjoyed hearing about my favorites from this past month. Please share some of your favorites with me in the comments below, I'd love to hear about what you guys are loving. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

March Favorites 2015~!

Hey Guys~!

After a month full of lip product reviews, maybe I'll do another set of themed reviews? I really enjoyed comparing them all this month and I'd like to try that too with other makeup or skin care products. Anyways it's April, and officially spring, so now it's time for my monthly favorites. So let's start~~!

Makeup

Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate: I've been obsessed this month from trying different lip colors, but this one from Korres is one of my favorites. It's a really nice jelly texture and the color is a nice pink tint. It makes my lips feel really moisturized and I just love it. 

Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara: This mascara is coming back into my life, and I just love it. I used to wear this mascara in middle school and recently I've gotten back into it. It gives my lashes length and volume, without looking too dramatic. It's a great everyday mascara.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette: I haven't been super into eyeshadow this month, but when I wear it I've been using this palette. The colors are all nice neutrals and are super blend-able, making it really easy to create a variety of looks. 

Jewelry and Accessories

Bow Necklace from Forever21: I love simple necklaces like this one for everyday. It's a gold bow, and you know I'm obsessed with anything with a bow or has a bow on it. I have gotten multiple compliments on this necklace, and it's easy to wear with anything. 

Bunny Ear Sunglasses: Another thing with a bow~!! These sunglasses are super cute and I've been carrying them around in my purse so I can throw them on whenever it's sunny. I'll definitely wear them more often in the summer, but for now they are here to remind me warm weather is coming. 

Nail Polish

Essie Nail Polish in For the Twirl of It: This is the month of Essie nail polishes. I wore this one at the beginning of the month, and I'd forgotten how much I love it. The duo chrome looks really interesting, especially if you wear a matte top coat over it. 

Essie Nail Polish in Coat Azure: I have a lot of blue nail polish, and this one is just the perfect blue. It's not too crazy and looks really nice. It isn't a super bold blue, so I really think anyone can wear it. 

Anime

Mirrai Nikki: I just started this anime at the end of the month, but I can tell I'll really like it. I enjoy psychological horror anime and Mirrai Nikki, or Future Diary, is a great representation of the genre. 

Those were my favorites from the month of March. Share some of your favorites in the comments below, I'd love to hear them. Also I'll be going to Anime Boston this weekend, and I have a super special announcement for you guys, so stay tuned on all the details. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

Favorite Pastel Nail Polishes for Spring~!

Hey Guys~!

Spring is creeping up, soon hopefully, and I'm already starting to change up my makeup and wardrobe for the warmer months. Today I'll be sharing my favorite pastel nail polishes that I think are great for spring. I love pastel anything, and nail polish is no exception. If you want a review on any of the polishes, since this is just my favorite colors, please let me know in the comments. So let's start~~!

OPI's You're Such a Budapest

I love lilac/lavender nails~! I think they can look casual but also classy in a way. This one is my favorite polish from that color family. It's a cool toned lavender and I often get my nails this color at the salon. It as a really nice shine too. 

Essie's Bikini So Teeny

I've worn this polish so many times it's crazy. It's a periwinkle blue with a slight shimmer. Wearing it does make my nails pop, and it really looks nice with any outfit. Also it's a great polish for a pedicure. 

OPI's Gargantuan Green Grape

Pastel green is one of my favorite colors ever, and this polish is perfect to achieve that color on your nails. It is really wearable, which you wouldn't think when you see a green nail polish, but seriously this is the best green polish ever~!!

Confetti's Margarita Senorita

Yellow polish is always hard to find, but this one is really nice. It's a neutral toned pale yellow and it's really great to wear on its own or for nail art. 

Revlon's Strawberry Cream

Surprisingly I don't own a lot of pink polish, but this one is a great pastel pink. It isn't super pale, so if you have a warmer skin tone, this color will look nice on you too. Also, totally unrelated, this polish is scented like strawberries~!!

Those were some of my favorite pastel nail polished for spring~!! I hope you all enjoyed seeing a variety of different colors too. If you guys have tried out any of these polishes or want a review on the formula, let me know your opinions in the comments below. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.
