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.

College Dorm Designer~!

Hey Guys~!

I mentioned recently that I'll be going off to college soon. Honestly the part I'm most excited for is decorating my room. Today I'll be showing you guys three different design ideas I have for my room. Not all of them are realistic, space and cost wise, but I had fun doing this. So let's start~~!

I made two different dorm looks. The one on the left has a more neutral color scheme. I have seen a lot of images of fairy lights under loft beds, and I think it looks super cute. I also like the idea of having a chair or sofa under the bed for a comfy reading/studying area. 

The other one, the one on the right, I think is super cute. I love purple, and I wanted to design a room with pops of purple. I really want that Sailor Moon Luna pillow, ever if it doesn't end up matching my room, cause it's super cute looking. 

I hope you guys enjoyed today's post~! In the comments below let me know which room you like better. Also let me know if you would like to see my dorm once I move in and it's decorated. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

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.

July Favorites 2016~!

Hey Guys~!

Summer is almost-ish over, and that means I'll be going to school soon. To be honest, I've been having mixed feelings about going to school, so I've been trying to enjoy my vacation as much as possible. Today I have some fun things to share with you in my favorites. So let's start~~!

Nail Polish

Essie Snap Happy

One of my favorite reds of all time. The formula is great, and I don't have issues with it chipping.

Video Games

Fire Emblem Awakening

I finally started playing this game, and I'm obsessed. I love the story and the character designs.

Anime

Love Live Sunshine

It just started, but I'm in love with Aqours. My two favorites are  (the one with blue hair in a ponytail) and Mari (the blonde one) and now I can't choose who the cosplay.

Food

Skinny Pop

One of my favorite snacks. It's super tasty and isn't unhealthy.

 

I hope you guys enjoyed this past month's favorites. In the comments below let me know if you would like some college themed posts. I was thinking of showing how I'll be decorating my dorm. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

ConnectiCon 2016 Recap + Opening Up to Y'all~!

Hey Guys~!

I am so sorry for not posting anything recently. I start college in less than a month and haven't had time to myself. Earlier this month I attended ConnectiCon for the first time and I thought I'd tell y'all about my experiences. Also at the end I have a message that I hope you read cause I have something I need to share with you guys. So let's start~~!

On Friday I cosplayed Toujo Nozomi from Love Live in her school uniform. I didn't have much planned that day, so I wandered around the convention hall. Eventually I found my friends, who were also in Love Live, and one of them was dressed as Taiga. I had a shoot outside the convention hall, which was really fun. This really sweet girl watched me shoot, waited for me to be done, and then asked for my photograph. Overall not much happened on Friday, I didn't even buy anything, but it was great seeing everyone.

Saturday was busy. That could be an understatement actually. I cosplayed Nozomi, again, but in her Cyber outfit. Along with my friends we almost had a full group, excluding Nico and Eli. We went to a Love Live meetup, where we took a lot of photos and danced. Because we had almost a full group, we got stopped a lot. A LOT. I even ended up in a few videos.

So basically we either we posing for pictures or sitting down and sleeping. We all decided to get Love Live blind boxes and I got Eli in her China Dress, which is super cute. We had a group shoot, which I still don't have the pictures from :( but we did do our own little shoot afterwards, which came out really nice too.

I was so tired, I didn't think I'd even go on Sunday. But I had to cause it was Dangan Ronpa day~! I wore Touko Fukawa, and my friend joined me as Junko. We went to a Dangan Ronpa meetup, which was so much fun. Everyone was super nice.

Later I had a shoot in the garage by the convention center, and I love how the pictures came out.

Change of subject. There is another reason why I haven't been posting much lately. To be honest, I just haven't been passionate about beauty blogging. I still love makeup, but I'm just not able to constantly be purchasing new products. With me starting college and my new job, I don't know how much free time I'll have. For the past few months, I've been more interested in my other hobbies (cosplay, singing, gaming, video editing, etc.) I have another YouTube channel, where I've been posting videos relating to said hobbies. I also have an Instagram, with mostly my art and cosplay. Because I don't know how active I'll be here, I was wondering if you guys would be interested in following my other accounts.

I hope you guys enjoyed my convention recap~! In the comments below, let me know if you would be interested in my other YouTube channel and my Instagram. I'm open to the idea, and would like to hear from you guys. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.
