Spring Cleaning + Upcoming Posts

Hello! (:
I hope you guys have been enjoying your week!
Anyway, it seems that during this Spring break, I had a random drive to clean my room. 
If you've noticed sometimes, the background to some of my photos aren't pretty. That's because my room is messy and looks like a dinosaur walked in and stomped away everything and yeah. It's just a mess. LOL

Here's what it looked like before:
Not pretty hey? I was honestly skeptical to show you all but yep. LOL
And here's after: 

Well that's that! I added some wall decorations too. My room is small. :/
This wall is particularly important to me, it's the wall of my 'dreams' in a way. The quote "If you can dream it, you can achieve it" really coincided with how I begun with cheer. So hanging my bows there is my major motivation. Really. And a reminder to myself that if that was possible, than everything else is a option too.
And here's my Bed. My stuffed animals are really important to me, even though I'm probably of age to get rid of them. but I like having them around. It's comfortable and sort of nice just to have them to lean on. Almost as if it's a extra cushion. And almost as a protective pillow to come home to for those rough days...

And this is pretty much just where my makeup is stored. LOL
Small drawer because I don't have much!
And my ukulele, which I don't play much of anymore, but I'm definitely looking forward to relearning it all over again.

so yes!
So how about you get into the spring cleaning? It's a good way to welcome the season with a fresh space. It sort of is like a way to renew the area, and give yourself the sense of peace that you might deserve. After all, a cluttered room might just make yourself feel more cluttered. So the spring cleansing is a good way to just welcome the sunlight~

Now here's the good stuff;
UPCOMING POSTS~

Well, this is in large font because it's the important goods.
Upcoming poooosts~!
Yes, if some of you follow my INSTAGRAM, you may see or know that I uploaded a picture of two floral skirt and dress. And I figured I have quite a bit of floral, so I wanted to create a FLORAL themed Spring lookbook; in the blog form. I'm not sure if I could do a video since I don't think I have a tripod or such. XD So I don't know how I'd film myself. Plus, I have no experience much in editing videos.. so believe me that it'll take a LONG time. And I'm not sure if everyone has time.. SO YES. Here's a lil' sneak peak:
So if you're looking forward or want more information on these floral clothing articles, feel free to comment below and let me know. ;) And you'll be the first to know if you follow my TUMBLR, TWITTER, and INSTAGRAM. And follow this blog for the latest updates! <3

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the Easter weekend I guess.

MEOWing selfies!

MEOOOOOW! HELLO! 

I felt kind of cat-like yesterday. xD Well, would you consider it a cat? LOL
I don't know.

Anyway, I was playing around with makeup of course!
It's kind of weird how I absolutely wear barely any makeup to school, yet I play with it so much at home. :3
AHH.



So this is just a short post for selfies. xD 
The-Distressed-Kitty look? XD LOLOL
Anyway, it was fun to play around. I wish i had bigger lids/eyes so i could do more dramatic things without looking like a racooooon. 

AND FINALLY. A silly one for you guys :)



TEE HEE> I really like the floral shirt I'm wearing! <3 It'll be in my next few posts when I show you the clothing article pick up's I've got!

I'll leave it with this! Bye bye everyone! Please follow this blog <3

HG Products & New Phone!

Hey everybody! 
I've realized I haven't really taken a picture of Toby, and I thought it'd be a good time!
He's so cute this morning that I couldn't resist it. 

Anyway, as promised I really did take a pictures of all the HG cosmetics. Well, not all. Just the recent ones that I've been using constantly and some 'test' products.
I would have taken a selfie, but I'm honestly still in my pajamas as I type this. And my hair is still in a bun. It's my lazy day.. SHH!
LOL
Alright!

Lets get started!
First, with the cosmetic products I've been lovin' and it's my HG product. 
CONCEALER.
Being a girl with a raging teenage hormone, a little bit of coverage for those down days couldn't hurt right?

This is the Maybelline Cover Stick in Medium Beige. It's a glide-on type of concealer, and it blends really easy. I'd definitely repurchase this. It just works for me and it does a light-medium coverage for my dark circles and some of acne.

 In addition to this concealer, I also purchased a green concealer by Physicans Formula. For some of those who may not know, this is suppose to CANCEL out the redness. I love it and it's easy to glide as well. And it blends easily and works well with the Maybelline. I place this before I put it on my concealer and it really does reduce the look of redness. For me anyway.  
I purchased both for around 6-7 dollars at my local Walmart, so it's definitely VERY afforadable. :)

And for the face, I have some tinted moisturizers because I was seeking a more light method for days where I want barely anything on. And this is actually my 'test' product: The Cover Girl BB Cream Tinted Moisturizer. And definitely this CG one is not a BB cream. It's more of a tinted moisturizer  I got this in the shade 710 Light-Medium. It is sheer, and evens out my skin tone just slightly

 And here is another tinted moisturizer, this time by Physicans Formula. 
I love this dearly, I think it's my HG tinted moisturizer but it's a little more on a pricey side, I think I paid 16-17 for this. I wish it would come with more product since I do use it quite often. It also is natural. The smell is very lavender like but instantly fades after a couple of minutes. It's light, and does offer a bit of coverage. And evens the skin tone nicely. I would definitely repurchase! And I haven't broken out from this. 


Here is the HG lip products! I forgot to include EOS but y'all should probably check it out! <3
But here is the Cover Girl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in the shade Coral Twist I believe. I love this and it's such a easy and light application. Lovely colour and reasonable price; only paid 8-10 for this. And i would definitely repurchase! It's retractable and lovable. ;D 

Here is another retractable lip, this time by Annabelle Twistup in the shade Bubble. It's a gorgeous colour and surprisingly similar to the Covergirl except less intense and more of a coral colour.
The fatter line is the Annabelle one, :3 Similar in the photo but in real life there's a slight difference.


Here is the eyeliner! :) This is Wet N Wilds H20 proof liquid eyeliner in the shade 881 Ultra Black. It\s my HG eyeliner because it really does last through my oily lids! Definitely a good replacement for the Hard Candy liquid felt tip eyeliner which NEVER seems to be in stock. 


Oh, and I forgot to mention. Just over these past few months I got a new phone. If y'all knew me back than, my phone was the Samsung Nexus S. But now I replaced it with the Samsung Galaxy S3 since my phone broke. And I love Android. <3

I love the blinker light for notifications! <3
These are all my cases! <3 Baha. It's slowly growing.
And here's the comparison to my old phone and to the new one. :) I love android and and yeah.
I know the new S4 is coming out but nontheless, I'm satisfied. :)


Anyway.. this WRAPS IT UP! 

Hope y'all have a great weekend! xo

I'm Alive!

Wow! Hey everyone, notice the new banner? I know everything else like the tabs on my blog require work but as of now, I've been doing things myself and let me tell you... I'm the worst person when it comes to internet loops and tricks. I have no clue what to do with the text links and such. *sad life*
 
 
Anyway, I've been gone for two months! I've just had school preoccupying me. I hope y'all forgive me, it's been quite the busy work-your-butt-off couple of months. Lots of procrastinating but it's literally just struck me how badly I need to start succeeding!
 
But in these months, I've sort of picked up some of my HG (Holy-grail) drug store cosmetic products.
I'm going to photograph them all tonight; I haven't been using my camera much so I'll update you on all of it in the next post. For now, I'll try and upload what I can.

I wanted to write this just to let y'all know this blog ain't dead! <3
I love you guys. LOL
I'll blog a.s.a.p. tomorrow morning!
xo
