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.

February Favorites 2015~!

Hey Guys~!

February is over, and hopefully I won't get anymore snow where I live. Seriously, I have to wear giant hiking boots to get to school everyday and I'm almost always ten minutes late to class. Anyways, on a much happier note, today I'll be sharing my February favorites~!! I have some new makeup favorites and a new anime that I'm obsessed with. So let's start~~!

Makeup

Pürminerals 4-in-1 Powder Foundation: Okay, you guys are probably sick of me talking about this, but I just love it. It's the best powder foundation I've ever used and it have build-able coverage. It's paraben-free so it won't irritate the skin and I've just been wearing it everyday. 

L'Oreal Voluminous Miss Manga Mascara: I reviewed this last year and recently I got back into wearing it. I really like the volume this gives my lashes without making them feel heavy and clumpy. I do need to buy the waterproof version soon though for the summer. 

Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue in Coral Crave: I love the Baby Lips and this one I've been wearing a ton. It has menthol in it which really does keep my lips from chapping. The color is a sheer pink and it looks really natural. 

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tints: I'm a huge fan of lip tints when wearing a gradient lip, and these two from Etude House are really nice. The orange one gives my lips a coral tint and the purple one is great for a berry tint. I've been wearing both of them this month and I want to try some of the other colors. 

Skin Care

Pierre F. Super Rich Clay Mask: This may be my new favorite face mask~! It really works well to treat my acne and it doesn't dry out my skin. It has no Parabens, Phalates, Sulfates, or Pegs, which is great if you have sensitive skin.  Also it's one of the few clay masks I've tried that smells really nice. 

Perfume

Daisy by Marc Jacobs: I got this while in Florida last year, and I've been wearing it everyday. It smells amazing and isn't too strong so it's wearable. However it is expensive, so I recommend getting the roller ball version, and not only is it cheaper but more portable too. 

Anime

Tokyo Ghoul: I'd heard about this anime for months, and I finally decided to watch it. And I love it~! Visually it's beautiful, but the main character bothers me, A LOT~!! But Touka is my favorite, she's just perfect <3 I know there is a second season, but once I started it, I wasn't much of a fan. Also my favorite characters don't end up together~!!!

Those were all my favorites from the month of February. I hope you guys had a great month and if you want a review on any of the products shown, let me know in the comments below. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

Winter Vacation + Holiday Haul~!

Hey Guys~!

Sorry for not posting anything this month. I've had tons of projects and exams are coming up too. I'll try to post as much as I can in these last two weeks of January, and when February comes, I promise there will be more content. Anyways, recently I got back from my trip to Florida, and now I'm back home where it's freezing cold ;_; I thought I'd share not only what I got there, but also what I got as holiday presents from my friends and family. I don't celebrate Christmas, but I do exchange gifts. So let's start~~!

I'll start with what I got in Florida. I went into this really cute dollar store and got a few things. First thing I got was this set of three notepads. I love the design and thought the color scheme was super cute. I like having little notebooks like this in my bags in case I need to write something down.

Next thing I got was this compact mirror. The design on the front reminded me of a dress up game I used to play online. What I didn't know when I bought it was that there is a comb inside the mirror that you need to take out in order to open the compact. Also I have no idea who the picture is of inside the mirror...

Lastly from the dollar store I got this really cute squishy key chain. I've seen these on countless websites and at conventions for a ton of money, but I had always wanted one. I found this one there and it's a little green tea cake with little stars and a berry on top. I plan to put it on my bag for school or on a wallet.

At my last trip, I bought a perfume which was Lolita Lempicka. This time I got a different perfume and it was one I'd been looking for, and it is Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I got the 3.4 oz bottle, which was bigger than I thought it would be. It's a floral scent, but it also has light musk scent, which I absolutely love the combination of the two.

And now for my Holiday presents~!! I mostly got money from my family, but I did do a gift exchange with my friend Tiffany, so I thought I'd show you guys what she got me. It's this set of Benefit tinted lip balms and mini tints. I love tinted lip balms, so I'm really excited to try these and review them for you guys.

So that was my mini vacation/holiday haul. If you guys are interested on a review on anything shown, let me know in the comments below and I'll try to work on the review as soon as possible. Thank you guys so much for reading, I hope you had an amazing winter vacation (if you have one), and I'll see you at my next post.
