Dyed Hair, OOTD , Coloful French Manicures and Korean Dramas!

5:52 PM

Hey guys!

I dyed my hair for the first time last Tuesday because I just wanted to try something new. I really liked the way my hair looks when the sun hits it because it turns into a medium golden brown so I went for something not too dramatic but enough for me to satisfy my craving for change ahaha! I actually picked out this color because one of my favorite people to watch on youtube is Lilisimply ♥

Please excuse my frizzy hair XD

My mom helped me because I am a total noob at this stuff ahaha and my hair is so long that it would been hard to do on my own. I like the way it came out! It's a subtle difference but whatever, I think it looks good! I had a good experience with this hair dye! LOVE the conditioner it comes with btw; made my hair SILKYYY! I also like the serum it came with :] I was concerned that it would kill my already dry, brittle hair even more but it's fine! It didn't make it worse than it was to begin with!

I haven't painted my nails in awhile so I wanted to try out the colorful tips/color blocking trend :D Not trying to toot my own horn or anything but I think they came out pretty nice! The left hand was not fun to paint as usual since I'm a righty -__- I used Wet N Wild's "I Need a Refreshment" and Missha's "PP03".

I thought it might be fun to share my recently watched/currently watching Korean Drama list for all my fellow KDrama fans!

Big - currently watching

I Do, I Do- currently watching

Queen In Hyun's Man- finished today! Such a cute ending :sniffles:

Love Rain- finished. Cute ending the rest of the drama was ehh

Rooftop Price- finished. It was ok. I skipped through a lot of scenes to get to the cute/funny ones

That's all for now! Thanks for reading and I hope you guys have a happy week!

elf mineral primer

Eye Primers (Etude House, Urban Decay, NYX, ELF) Comparison and Mini Reviews

1:07 PM

I have been wanting to do a battle of the eye primers ( that I have owned/currently own and tested the heck out of) because I personally have very oily eyelids and really wanted to find a good one. I can't put any kind of eye makeup on without a good primer! If any of you guys have the same problem as me I hope you find this primer comparison helpful! To save this post from being boring and making it easier to read, I have added little charts for each product!

I don't have the ELF Mineral Eye shadow primer anymore because I didn't like it and gave it to my cousin. It was really liquid-y and really did not help my eyeliner not slide and smudge everywhere. It couldn't combat my oiliness effectively :(

The reason that the Proof 10 and Urban Decay got 4 1/2 stars is because sometimes I do find that after 8 hours or so, you can kind of see the oilies peeking through the shadows (as gross as that sounds). It isn't super noticeable but I can definitely tell! The important part is VERY minimal smudging happens :D Also, with the proof 10 you have really blend it out because it can sometimes make your lids feel stiff. I like them both better than the NYX HD because the smell isn't overwhelming at all. The NYX HD worked THE best for me but the smell is just nastttyyyyy!

Hope that helped you take the first step in solving your oily lid problems ahahaha I know I'm very happy that I found eye primers that work very well for me. I really didn't compare the vibrancy claims because I'm not as concerned about that as I am with keeping my eye products stay put. Personally, I think they all do a good job in making them appear more vibrant! If you are more curious about that you can definitely Google it :]! Thanks for reading guys!

american eagle haul

Clothes & Accessories Haulage!

6:19 PM

Hey guys!

For those who live in the states, you will know that this past weekend was Memorial Weekend. There were tons of awesome sales going on and of course, I couldn't resit picking up some goodies

I didn't go crazy and didn't buy that much, just things I needed or got a good deal on!

The first store I bought stuff at was actually the Cosmetic Company Outlet where I picked up the MAC Chromographic Pencil in NC25/30 because it's so hard to find a good peach pencil and I missed out on this when it was released as limited edition. Glad I did though because I got it for way cheaper mwahaha!

Next I got some accessories from American Eagle because they were on sale for $5 each anndd BOGO 1/2 off so well yeah, hard to pass up.

I also got corduroy pants for work. Its a business casual environment so I try to stray away from jeans.

Next store was FOREVER 21! Surprise ahaha it really is my favorite store.

I got a pretty lace shoulder dress. It's so cutee! I need some more dresses since I only have 1... ahaha

Lastly I just got a boring long skirt :] Kind of reminds me of a school girl skirt.

That is all! I have been really busy looking for new jobs and such so I have finished taking all the pics of the eye primer comparison, I just need to throw it together. I usually like to put a lot of thought and time into reviews like that so bare with me! Thanks for readingg! :D Hope you enjoyed my little haulage!
