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
I forgot how expensive shipping from Japan can be when you buy boots. Guess how much it will cost me.
$88.00 But I want my boots so I’m forking it over. Was planning on buying from MAC when I got home but I don’t see that happening now. At least there’s only one more day until spring break 
I only have math tomorrow though so it won’t be a long day at all. I kind of already feel like I’m on break actually, which is probably why I crafted a bit today
I’m going to be making some deco’d mini hats soon since I was commissioned to make a couple, so I’ve been getting the materials and clay pieces together for them. If they turn out especially cute I might start making some for my shop 
I’m getting really bored of my fall clothes, but I liked my outfit today so here’s a snap of it~
 |
I think I need to clean my mirror 
It’s probably hard to tell, but the boots have a pretty high heel. One of my new years resolutions was to learn to walk in heels and these boots were the first heels I learned to walk in! I really love to wear heels now – they make almost any outfit look classier 
I finished the website layout for my sister and her husband yesterday and I guess it turned out okay? They like it a lot so I guess that’s all that matters 
It’s much different than my usual style since their business is going to be a sort of club with a cafe and gaming so of course my usual stuff wouldn’t fly haha Anyways when the website is all done I’ll post a link to it so you all can check it out!
Do you ever just daydream about the things you’d buy if you had more money? I’m sure most of you do Well, I made a little list:
1. Liz Lisa denim skirt in light blue & floral necklace in white
2. MAC lashes & lipglass & mascara
3. Spring dresses
It’s a bit shorter than I expected so maybe I’ll be able to afford it all sometime soon What are some of the things on your wishlist?
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!
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!
I just made an order with Dekoden! I’m so excited, I’ve wanted to order from them for a long time. I was finally inspired enough to just go ahead and order after seeing this deco.
It looks simple enough that I can deco my iphone without it being too distracting or inconvenient. But it’s also really really cute. I basically just bought a bunch of polymer clay roses in pink and white, some swarovski crystals in pink and white, and some flat back pearls in pink and white. I could have bought the deco set on Strapya, but it would have been about $50.00, while my Dekoden order was $40, even with shipping included, and I’ll be receiving many more deco items. So I’m just going to recreate the look with the materials I bought. I’ll post pictures when it’s done!
Some other things I’m waiting to receive in the mail include the Viva la Juicy gift set I ordered online and some fake eyelashes and eyelash glue I bought from MAC’s online store.
Last thing, I’m selling off one of my amigurumis, is anyone interested? She’s 8cm tall. I’m looking to get around $19.00 + shipping, but I’m completely open to offers/trades! (UPDATE – SOLD)
