NEW BOOTS~~~ 
 |
And only $20.00 too! I put together an outfit for them today 
 |
Kind of crappy lighting in my new apartment 
Probably doesn’t help that it’s always so cloudy outside! I can’t wait for the weather to start reflecting the season.
So I’ve been doing some crafting again recently! With even more sculpting! These new pieces were heavily influenced by crafts I see for sale on mbok and such 
 |
 |
I’ll probably put them up for sale either later today or tomorrow. There aren’t so many because I wanted to put little details into each of them ♥
I almost forgot, I want to review a webshop I bought from recently! In addition to my usual MAC lashes, I’ve been looking for some cheaper lashes for days when I don’t feel like breaking out my #7’s. So I checked around and finally found out about Jcosme. At first I was a little scared to order from them since they don’t accept Paypal and I hadn’t really heard any reviews. But I decided to just go for it and order a bunch of the “Ethnic Beauty” style lashes. They also have “Gyaru Fashion” lashes that are cute and dramatic!
 |
So those are mine above 
I ordered way too many though so I might sell off a few pairs! I loved ordering from Jcosme though, and they even sent me a bunch of cute nail stickers with my lash order, it was so sweet and unexpected!
 |
Made another MAC order recently as well since I didn’t end up visiting their counter at Nordstrom when I was visiting home. And now that I’m back and taking summer courses (including yoga! but more about that later!) I won’t get the chance for awhile. I decided to order some eyeshadows in Woodwinked and Shroom and more #7 lashes. I seriously love #7’s 
 |
Okay this entry is getting long but I’ll update about progress on my Japan internship and more later! 
It’s been so long since my last update! With the exception of my private post of course, but that one was angsty 
And password locked! So really it was no good to anyone.
Recently I moved into my first apartment though! And I have my first very own bathroom! 
 |
 |
It’s a lot bigger than my dorm room and much easier to live in! Plus my roommates have been nice so far 
So! Here is my new room~
 |
Still a little bare on the walls! I’ll fix that soon though 
 |
It’s pretty spacious, I wish it came with a desk though! For now I just use my laptop on my bed and keep my printer and books on the chest of drawers.
 |
The closet gets a thumbs up from me – wayyy more room for my shoes and clothes in this one! Five points to anyone who can guess what show I was watching 
 |
And the bathroom! I never thought I’d be so excited about a bathroom but apparently having one all to myself makes me extremely pleased. I love all the counter space 
 |
I really have so many hair and face products, trust me that isn’t even the half of it! 
Here is my newest addition~
 |
The Shiseido pureness facial care set with cleanser, toner and lotion. I also invested in the face scrubbing brush!
 |
Hopefully the set works well since it was a little pricey 
I think Shiseido is more simple than other more chemical facial washes so it should turn out well.
That’s all for now, I have so much to catch up on with my blogs though so look for more entries very soon!
Has it really been two weeks since my last update 
I guess I’ve been busier than usual lately! That tends to happen towards the end of the year/semester. I’m sure that when the year ends I’ll be back to updating regularly 
The seminar for my possible internship in Japan is coming up fast! It’s on May first. I need to make sure I get all my documents in before then. Also need to get a new iPhone case as I lost my Rilakkuma one recently when I dropped my phone at a dance I’m thinking of replacing it since the Rilakkuma cases are now available on eBay, or I might get this cute Juicy Couture one~
 |
For now my iPhone doesn’t have a case, but considering that I could have lost the phone as well it makes me happy to at least still have my iPhone 
There’s currently a Beauty Insider 15% off your entire order sale going on at Sephora for anyone who didn’t already know about it! The promo code for it is MADNESS and it ends tomorrow. I was seriously considering some of the cute new tokidoki collab items Sephora has up for sale but decided not to buy.

I finally did a bit of crafting over the weekend and here are the results!
 |
I haven’t been feeling very creative lately but it was nice to do some work with clay after not having made anything for awhile. I have most of the rings above for sale as well as some Liz Lisa items and more at the link below 
Just want to start off this entry with some photos of my new Liz Lisa boots, which are even more amazing in person I’m so glad I bought them when I did – they are now sold out at Liz Lisa’s online shop and Shibuya 109 net shop and seem to be hard to find for a good price anymore.
 |
They came brand new in their box with a duster bag and extra heel plugs in case anything happens to the heels. The bows are also detachable 
 |
I couldn’t wait to coordinate them and so I threw together an outfit with them today I’ll probably have to add a light jacket for awhile until it gets warmer.
 |
I need a tan 
The dress and tank top are from Vanity, the necklace and boots are from Liz Lisa and the skirt is from Sechuna. The necklace originally had a little brooch type charm on it, but I took it off. I might make a separate brooch with it later on~
Also bought some things from MAC this weekend! I decided to try out their foundation again in a different shade, since NW15 was too dark for me even though I was matched to that color. I tried out NC15 in person at the counter and it turned out to be a perfect match!
 |
Ended up buying the foundation, lipglass in Underage, a foundation pump and new #7 lashes. Mine were kind of falling apart after using them daily for awhile. I’m impressed they held up so long though! I’m thinking of ordering these lashes from Daiso next though, you get ten pairs for about $20.00
Here’s the result of my new makeup, I can already see the difference their foundation makes vs. drugstore brand foundations. It definitely has better coverage and stays put much longer.
 |
I’ll leave this entry here since it’s getting a bit long, but tomorrow I’ll update with more new purchases and maybe another outfit
I finished a Bottle Pet order yesterday and really liked how the ‘pet’ Rilakkuma turned out
 |
It’s really really tiny in real life! I love making miniatures 
I went shopping today and picked up some face wash and lotion from Aveeno. I had heard about their new line of redness reducing products and thought they sounded pretty good. Usually I don’t have problems with my skin but during the winter it goes crazy and gets sensitive so I hope this stuff helps 
 |
It’s taking foreverrr for the items I ordered off mBok to arrive at Celga’s warehouse. I wish they would get there already so I could ship them out to myself! I also want to buy some things from MAC soon. I love their lipglasses and really want to pick up the ‘Underage’ shade. It’s a light pink with a little bit of shimmer – sounds perfect I need to get another pair of #7 lashes as well and some mascara. I’ll probably wait until I can pick them up in person at the MAC counter while I’m back home during spring break. There’s no MAC around here so it’s either wait or order online, and their stuff takes awhile to get here when I order it online
Look at all these Angelic Pretty postcards, aren’t they cute? 
 |
I didn’t even realize there were so many different kinds!
I have a new sales post up! Check it out here~

Has anyone seen the new Tarina Tarantino collection at Sephora?
I personally think it looks gorgeous! And there is currently a $500 Sephora spree contest going on at http://ttbeauty.com.
My favorites from the collection include the dollskin cheek blushes as the Carved Rose and Charm colors remind me of some gyaru model’s blush. There are also amazingly cute accessories up, including the multibead stretch bracelet. I want one!!
And now for some Liz Lisa auction finds!
This skirt is from the new Liz Lisa spring 2010 collection and retails for over 6,000yen!
I really like this skirt, the design is so cute. I’m not sure if it’s new for spring, but I think it fits nicely into the current spring looks.
Even though winter is coming to an end, I think this set is a really good deal for only 2,000yen.
I quite like this onepiece, even if it’s not really my style!
This is another spring 2010 item. It’s so cute!
Let me know if you liked these auctions, if you’d like to see more choice auctions, or if you’d like to see choice auctions from other brands!
A couple weeks ago I heard about MAC #7 lashes and, having already tried and tested the quality of MAC lashes, ordered a pair.
The quality of MAC lashes is great – and the price isn’t THAT bad either. They are about $13.00 a pair and you can get free shipping with the code BROW or CAROLINE (valid until Jan 31) at checkout. Honestly I think they are worth the higher price; you get more uses out of them. I wore them today and they make such a difference!
If anyone wants to replicate the look, my makeup routine includes all of the items in the photo below + foundation and optional MAC lashes. I do this pretty much everyday and I think the result is casual but put together.
Face:
Foundation – haven’t picked out a good brand yet
Blush – Too Faced La Vie En Rose
Undereye concealer – Neutrogena 3-in-1 concealer for eyes
Eyes:
Brushes – Sephora Deluxe Antibacterial Brush Set
Primer – Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Lid – Too Faced Milk Chocolate eyeshadow
Upper lid – Too Faced Glamazon eyeshadow
Crease – Too Faced Dirt Bag eyeshadow
Inner eye – Too Faced George & Weezie eyeshadow
Browbone and inner eye – Victoria’s Secret Crystal Ball beauty rush eyeshadow
Liner – Bare Escentuals Buxom Lashliner in Leatherette
Waterline liner – Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
Smokey eye shadow – Any brand eyeshadow in gray (I use L’Oreal)
Mascara – MAC Zoom Lash
False lashes – MAC #7 Lash
Lips:
Gloss – MAC Lipglass in Florabundance
Sparkle gloss – Victoria’s Secret Sugar High beauty rush lip gloss
On a different note, the dollmaker contest is now closed to entries and voting will begin tomorrow morning/afternoon!
I’m sorry to have skipped yesterday’s update! It was the first day of the new semester so I was running around campus pretty much all day. I’m also trying to work out at least 30min – 1 hour a day so even during my free time I wasn’t able to relax. Today has, so far, gone much more smoothly though, with the exception of my textbooks still not being available at the bookstore. I’m going to have to check in again today to see if I can pick them up.
I’m also working on a new layout, and I have some pixel commissions to finish, so instead of drawing up new content I’ve been putting all my time into those things. I’d like to add some new content though so what would everyone like to see more of? Dollmaker items? Adoptables? Brand new content/pages?
At least my Sephora order came yesterday and so I had fun with the palette this morning.
I splurged a bit at Sephora.com today and ended up buying a new makeup palette and some other cute things.
Urban Decay XL Primer Potion + other goodies (set)
I needed more UDPP anyways and this comes with an XL UDPP as well as other cute travel size items for a really good price! As a side note I would recommend UDPP to anyone who has trouble keeping eye makeup in place/keeping it from smudging.
Too Faced Glamour Revolution Palette
I gave my mom my old Sephora blockbuster palette (I only used around 4-5 of the colors) and she helped buy me this new one ♥
Bare Escentuals Buxom Lashliner
Applying cream eyeliner is so much easier than pencil/liquid. This stuff seems really good and supposedly improves lashes.
I love ordering from Sephora because I always end up with a ton of free stuff. This time I chose three mini perfume samples since you get three free samples with every order.
I also got a free shimmer powder pot and brow defining pencil. Got the glitter with the promo code GLITTER and the pencil since my beauty bank had hit 100 points.
I’m really excited to get everything! It should be waiting for me at my dorm by the time I get back. I want to try out the Too Faced palette the most. It’s so cute, and has really great colors! Would anyone be interested in makeup reviews or tutorials?
