Beauty Rants

Dolly Wink Lashes :)
I recently dyed my hair to chocolate brown last month because I honestly don't like the upkeep of light brown hair. Sometimes I want to buy a nice cute little wig to pull off a look or at least make myself feel like I have a full head of hair, literally.

Its been a long long longggg time since I have worn makeup on a regular/daily basis. I miss looking pretty or made up but gosh am I so lazy for it. When I look back at all my old pictures and think about my high school days; I wonder how I ever woke up and get all made, and not be late to school! *sighs* haha. Now I'm just slow applying anything from eyeliner to doing my hair. ;p

That being said, I been looking at a lot of beauty products that I've been wanting. One being the falsies from DollyWink by Tsubasa Masuwaka (pictured above). Shes like flawless but I'm not trying to be her. However, I do like to look all dolled up and might I say, FALSIES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.


I also want try this Super Bablesh Balm (bb) cream by SKIN79. I'm feeling old and I've realized over the years I have age spots and just spots in general from who knows where!

I came across this website called birchbox.com and I want to apply for a membership. I'm not a fashionista so I thought it'd be awesome to get cute lil samples of makeup and beauty products in a box every month for 10 bucks. Seems like it would be fun to get a surprise every month.

Ahhh but alas... I'm not going to be able to go out much. I just thought I'd be fun to talk about makeup and beauty stuff. I wish I had the money to buy all the things I've wanted but I don't. I always end up buying stuff that is probably not versatile for me. Lately I purchased a duffel bag -second one this year, and I don't even travel or go anywhere. Another example is just building a whole new desktop PC and not going to really be able to use it because it will be in my bedroom instead of the living room where I will be 80% of the time. Boohoo. This is why I will never be an accountant or a finance major; it just doesn't add up. xD

Sephora Makeup Order


I recently received for my birthday Philosophys New Tinted Moisturizer from my sister and honestly, it didn't really go with my skin. I have dry skin so it made my skin look terrible so I returned it and order other stuff online! 5 items, around 50 bucks. Not so bad. Everything was on sale. I'm excited but my cameras broken without a battery charger too! I took this photo before it crapped out.
List of items from Sephora:
  • Sephora Concealer Palette - This is not powder concealer but actually creamy. It comes with a cute little brush. I believe it was 8 dollars.
  • Sephora Liquid Eyeliner in 02 brown was sold for 5 bucks, originally 10 dollars. Its a brush tip thats thin for easy precise lining. (THIS IS NOT A FELT TIP BRUSH!) $5.00 on sephora.com
  • Sephora Base Primer. Honestly, I feel this base primer is too greasy. It doesn't feel like SmashBox's Photo Finish primers where the texture is silky. This one feels like a lotion. Although it feels greasy, it gives off a matte finish. $8.00 on sephora.com
  • Anastasia Highlighting Brow Kit. To me, is beautiful. The baked brow powder is very pigmented and naturally looking. The tones are neutral. It doesn't have a red/warm undertone like some brow powders do. The highlighting powders are frosty in my opinion but glides on sheer. This kit is versatile as it can be used as an eyeshadow rather than just a brow kit. They work well wet or dry application. In stores these go for about $38.00 but on sephora.com its only $20.00
  • Stila collectible travel palette #3 (Trendsetting in Tokyo) is a cute combination of colors. Its a steal for only $10. I like the convertible cheek/lip color (Sakura) because its almost like a sweet pink look. The convertible color is gel based and it gives a baby/barbie doll color. The black eyeshadow (Peace) is pigment black with little black glints of glitter. The blue(Shibuya) is a matte royal blue color. Pink (Kawaii) eyeshadow is a shimmer sweet pink. Then theres Sake a champagne shimmer shadow. I honestly bought this for the convertible color and possibly Sake Champagne shadow.

This isn't a review or anything. Just wanted to share what i bought! Sorry no swatches. D:
