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! 
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
Yesterday I wrote that I did some crafting, and here are the results 
Everything is currently for sale here ♥
 |
I’m starting to use less ‘whip cream’ aka silicone in my crafts and doing more actual sculpting. When I started out I never used silicone and lately I realized I would like to get back to the artistic element of jewelry making Plus I really hate the fumes that silicone gives off as it’s drying. It’s fine when it’s dry but before that it’s not pleasant, to say the least!
 |
Also made a necklace with a little bear as the cork I hand painted the face! I used E-6000 glue to keep the bear attached and I have to say, it’s the best glue I’ve ever used. It dries quick enough and when it’s dry it’s extremely strong! I’d definitely recommend it for crafting.
I’m thinking of selling this Tralala cutsew to help pay for my Celga shipping invoice~
 |
Is there any interest? I paid about $40.00 for it so I’m looking to get about that much for it. Leave a comment or contact me if you’re interested 
So now that spring break has started, I’ll probably just laze around this weekend 
I need to tidy my room before I leave on Monday though. I hate coming back home to a mess! My dorm room is really tiny though so it shouldn’t take too long. What do you all have planned for spring break 
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.

On a different note, the dollmaker contest is now closed to entries and voting will begin tomorrow morning/afternoon!
My Dekoden.com order arrived yesterday! Shipping was very fast. It was also pretty expensive though. But they packaged it wonderfully. Everything came bubble wrapped in a small box and packaged individually. The only thing disappointing about the order was that the pink pearls were definitely not the shade of pink I wanted. But I’m sure that was my fault since I probably selected the wrong pink color from the drop down menu.
I had to go to class shortly after receiving everything, but I came straight home afterwards to deco my phone! I decided to deco directly onto the phone, even though I had bought a pink silicone/plastic back for decoing purposes. I like the look of it more when it’s directly on the phone. If I want to redo it later I’ll just take the pieces off and put the case over it. Anyways, here’s the finished result!
I really love it, and the glue I bought from the website seems pretty strong so far and didn’t make a mess. I think I would recommend it! I’ll definitely be ordering from dekoden again ♥
Edit: I’d definitely recommend SuperX2 glue, it held up for months until I finally decided to change up the look!
