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
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.
