[Tutorial] Fawn Makeup~ (Picture Heavy)


Hello~

Halloween just passed and I didn't really have a costume for work...so I just used what I had and did this super cute fawn look that I found on pinterest! xD

I must warn you, I make really weird faces when doing "picture tutorials", haha.
So....click the jump to see more pictures of the finished look (at the very end) and also for my awkward tutorial!

Lolitadressesshop WishList~


Hello all~
I've been recently getting a few sponsored items from Lolitadressesshop and I just wanted to share with you some of my favorite items from their store! (Obviously, I haven't received any of these items since this is a wishlist. lol)

Most of these are dresses or sets that I LOVE.
(P.S. If you click the images, it'll take you to their sales page!)

Lolitadressesshop carries many indie designers on their page as well as their own line. It's nice to see a site carry a large array of products including things from different brands.
You'll see a lot of indie brands on my wishlist from them, haha.


Let me just start with this dress. I think I fell in love with it at first site. It's so elegant and dreamy that I started to drool when I looked at it. It comes in a few different colors (White, lavender, etc) but this black one just spoke to me! It's by no means "expensive" in the Lolita world with it's price tag set at 112.99USD but it's definitely something that I'd have to save up for (and justify to myself LOL)
I still can't get over how absolutely gorgeous this design is. Milu Forest really knows what they're doing with designs.


I know! I just couldn't stay away from this print! The print is based off of swan lake and this piece just EMBODIES swan lake. It really reminds me of a ballerina's dress too. The elegant white really pairs well with this particular cut. This one is a bit cheaper then the first at 105.50USD but it's still a bit up there. Both of the designs have a certain draw to them but I can't imagine having both...but deciding between them would be horrible! Dx I don't know if I'd be able to decide.


Halloween just passed and I realized that I had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that was halloween inspired! I thought this print was ADORABLE with the little ghosts all over. I think the purple ghosts were also a nice touch in the design. Believe it or not...jsk aren't my favorite and I actually prefer full dresses like this where you don't have to layer. It's not because I hate layering..it's just that it takes a lot less pieces to wear something like this then to have a blouse under it, haha.
FLORIDA HEAT IS NO JOKE!
At 82.50USD this dress is pretty cheap for the cute design you'd get!


Here we go with the pink again. This dress was probably the most expensive one out of everything on this list coming in at 138.99 USD. OUCH! But, look at that pink set!
The dress is adorable by itself (and comes in different colors) but the blouse and jsk together in the pink picture is DROOL WORTHY! I'm really all over the place with my likes, haha.


Coming down to a cheaper item, I can't say no to floral crowns and this is definitely reminiscent of those. At only 25.99USD this is definitely affordable and oh so cute. DO YOU SEE THAT LITTLE BIRD?! I really have zero fashion sense when it comes to putting outfits together so I don't know how or what I would wear something like this with...but I would find something! xD


And last but not least, these SUPER CUTE PU Bownot shoes~ Most of my lolita shoes (actually all of them) are white or black so I've been eyeing other colors non-stop and I think pink is perfect. Pink is my favorite color so of course I'd find every way to try and incorporate it into outfits, haha.
These shoes sell for $74.99 USD on their site. I know this isn't considered "pricey" in the lolita world but I'm pretty cheap, haha. These shoes are so adorable though and I can't help but think that they're probably well worth their price tag.

[Review] J.Cat Love Struck Glam Glow Powder Blush 108 (Sweetheart) / 111(Kitten Kisses) / 106 (Snookums)


Hello!

I'm gearing up to be posting a lot so keep an eye out! :D
I recently went on a trip to see my parents and thought I'd stop by at some new beauty stores in Jax.

Beauty Depot has a few locations throughout jacksonville and recently, a friends been posting a lot about their NYX collection! They have the full line there and I've been wanting to grab the eyebrow gel and check out their new lip lines.
Unfortunately...they didn't have the brow gel or the wicked lip like that I was looking for yet....but I didn't get some other cool stuff!

I'm a huge fan of smaller cosmetics companies because the prices are usually a steal and you normally get pretty good quality!

When I saw these blushes, I knew I HAD to have them. CATS! DUH!
I didn't know which shades to get...so I just grabbed 3 that I liked to try them out first.

[Sponsored Review] Lolitadressesshop Cotten Sweet Strawberry Sundae OP Infanta


Hello all!

I bring you a review about my latest addition to my loli closet!
Lolitadressesshop graciously sponsored me this ADORABLE lolita dress and I can't wait to share my experience with you~
Recently I went to my first local loli mett-up since moving (a year ago x__x) and I've been really wanting to expand on my lolita clothing. Most of my stuff is bodyline or from an Indie brand that I've worked with before. Since I'm still relatively new to actually dressing this way, I've been getting very simple basics to get my feet wet~
Hopefully I'll be expanding more soon!

[Review] Mirabella Colour Vinyl Lipstick swatches and review



Here's a post that's a little different from what I normally do~

Mirabella is a brand that I deal with a lot at work and they come out with new collections quarterly. I figured I'd start posting reviews and swatches of them since they're relatively new whenever they come in and it'll help people who are hesitant in buying them! :D

So, to my knowledge, Mirabella is slowly phasing out their normal lipsticks and instead switching to these ones instead. Their starter set is 12 colors ranging from nudes to berries and are paraben and gluten free!

Here's what the site says about them:




The colors I personally own are Glossy Ginger, Rosy Rouge, Metallic Blush and Caramel Creme.


I've yet to put the "10-hour wear" claim to the test since I've never had to wear makeup that long, haha. But it's definitely stayed put for 5 hours with no feathering and only minor re-application.


I feel that the lipsticks vary a but from eachother as far as smoothness goes and some also have hints of shimmer in them but the shimmer doesn't really show up on the lips.
Some of them glide on like butter and others take a quick second to heat slightly from contact to your lips.


Swatches from left to right:
Pink Polish, Glossy Ginger, Rosy Rouge, Caramel Creme, Mulberry Mocha, Cherry Shine, Metallic Blush,Coral Flash, Lavender Lustre, Vintage Vibe, Scarlet Sparkle, Icy Violet

I think most of them are pretty accurate but the last two colors are actually a bit darker then they appear.

Out of the colors I personally own (even though I've tried all of them) my favorites are Glossy Ginger and Rosy Rouge. Out of all the colors, add Icy Violet and Scarlet Sparkle to that list!
Rosy Rouge reminds me of my favorite Shiseido lipstick that I ran out of a long while ago. xD

Hopefully this helps for people who wanted to see swatches!
