Other giveaways, makeup, outfit, and clothing finds!

Hello everyone ♥ This giveaway stuff is so new and exciting to me xD I'm like, head over heels and going crazy entering new ones and stuff xDDD I think I've only entered under 5 giveaways before and didn't win any but this has made me realize how fun it is :3 Especially seeing the excitement from people who enter!

I'm very grateful for everyone who has participated thus far! Truly, thank you! ♥

If you're curious, the giveaways I have entered are linked to the right underneath my own giveaway as, "Check out these awesome Giveaways by other great bloggers!" I'll be leaving that there from now on if I ever pass by any other giveaways in time that I feel you guys may want to enter as well!

For a quick peek, here are the banners to the giveaways:
Lots of good, quality, and cute stuff! Lovely ladies as well ♥
If not for the Giveaways, check out their blogs. I quite enjoy them :]

Eyes
NYX Eyeshadow in Luxury Reborn
with a dark brown lightly shading the outer half of my eye lid
Winged eyeliner started from the middle of my eyelid
Wearing Ardell Invisiband Eyelashes in Wispies

Cheeks
Orange pink shade, swiped from an eyeshadow palette of oranges and pinks.

Lips
Red liner with deep red liquid lipstick on top from Physician's Formula.
I've had it for a long time though so the name is scratched off.

I felt like I looked like a modern flapper with this whole look xD
My short hair makes me look so mature and older!

Anywho, my new dress that my husband got me!
WEEEEEE! ♥ I'm SO in love with it still ; ___;
It's so airy and comfortable but also see through so I need to wear something underneath it ¬ _¬'

This is one of my other favorite necklaces that a good friend got me a couple years ago ♥
It's beauutiful and light weight because it's made of fabric :3

There's also these cute finds!
I've decided that when I find something I like online, I'll share with you guys :]
$24.80


$24.80

$38.60

I'd wear all this together as an outfit :3
The corset in any color over or under one of the sheer tops and the skirt over the corset on my waist.
The mocha version of the top would look really interesting on tan and darker skin with the waist skirt. It's like a nude illusion. Wearing a long necklace with it would look fantastico :0

I love all these colors because they can look good on pale, tan, or dark skin. They're such bright, happy, and youthful colors! Except for black, of course, LOL. Though the skirt is very elegant and mature. It tones down the bright colors for those who still like that pop but want to look more mature.

However, the price keeps me from buying these, haha xD
I feel like I can find something more within my preferred price in a similar fashion.
Except for the corsets. You don't really find those at lower prices often unless they're not structured as well.
High Low skirts are starting to come in strong so you're likely to see them in stores between $18-$25.
As for the peter pan collared top, that's already becoming popular but I haven't seen any sheer ones in stores just yet but it's likely they'll be the same price, maybe a bit lower depending on where you find it.

AND. OH. LAWDY.
BIG BANG.

SO SMOOOOOTH.
TOP'S VOICE.

Review: Ardell Invisiband Eye Lashes Wispies Black

Durability
These are a little fragile and need some taking care of in order to last longer.

Length + Volume
For comparison, I took a picture of them with my Diamond Lash Glamorous Eye falsies.
The blue line is the same length on both lashes.
Every asian brand lashes that I've bought are longer than the ones I buy here in the US.
This lash has a natural length that covers enough to make an effect. The volume is about the same as the other lashes pictured but since they're different designs, they don't give the same thick appearance.


Design
These are really lovely natural lashes :3 Whether you have nice lashes or thin ones like mine, these blend in really well and add enough depth without overdoing it. Great for day wear!


Comfort
I don't feel them at all when I wear them. They're very light and the band they're attached to is thin.

New Clothes + Outfits



Peach High Low Dress $27
From Love Culture
It's hard to take a picture of the true color but it's beauuutiful!
My husband actually got this dress for me before going into work ; ____;
He's so sweet ♥

Animal Print Top $5, Beige Maxi Skirt $6, Pink Waist Skirt $5
From Goodwill
I was rather satisfied finding these items :]
Normally a top and maxi skirt like that could run between $15-$25
And then the pink skirt is more so a basic piece that I wanted.

I'm pretty positive a short person had that beige skirt cause it was tailored at the hem and it's length is perfect for me xD
Short people, holla!

The top and beige skirt were likely from an older person because the labels are older :0
It really is entertaining how fashion cycles throughout the years with new little twists.

Man, I'm really missing having a proper camera!
It's uncomfortable taking pictures like this xD
Perhaps I just need a new case that I can hold better.
I actually lost the bunny tail to this one ; 3;

Do Want: Diamond Lashes!

I've been obsessing with Diamond Lashes ever since I got Glamorous Eye!
Unlike Glamorous Eye, the ones ones below have an invisible band for the lashes. I'm assuming their more flexible because of that but the designs are still very long and bold!
I hope to collect these three in the future :3

Makeup and Outfit Post

A few people said I reminded them of Snow White, haha!
It's just the color palette x]

Eyes
Eyeshadow was Luxury Reborn by NYC
I love this shade :3 It looks like a normal medium brown but it's actually a subtle shimmering gold and it's perfect for my skin tone. Doesn't look yellow or bright. Just a golden shade :3
Anywho, I used a dark brown eyeshadow to create a darker crease and to add depth.
Once again, wearing Glamorous Eye by Diamond Lash :D

Cheeks
Lightly swiped my brush on the reds and pinks from Manly eyeshadow palette.

Lips
Lined with The Style Soft Stay lip liner in beige with War Paint lip gloss on top in Hot Mess. It's like a red orange color. It's fairly opaque with a thick application.

I want a big mirror like in these dressing rooms xD

There was a new store in our local mall so I had to look into it. (Love Culture)
I liked a few of the items :3
Mainly these!

I really love salmon colors e ___e Pinkish orange stuff.

Kariss FP708 Wig Review

I actually got this wig awhile ago but I can't remember which eBay store I got it from.
Just search up Kariss FP708 Wig and results will pop up.
Just remember to check their reliability and feedback ;3



Type: Synthetic, Full Wig

Style: Wavy

Color: Dark Brown with a slight red undertone

Length: Long, from the tips of the bangs to the tips of the hair it's 28"

Quality: It kind of feels like processed hair. Dryish but at least it doesn't feel like plastic. It sort of shines like plastic but only under direct sunlight though the color kind of makes it look like it's just super shiny hair, haha. When I wore it out someone asked if I was just wearing extensions x] So I guess it's pretty believable :]
It does get messy but you can brush it out. Just don't let it sit and rat up or else you'll be sitting there for awhile brushing it out and pulling out the hairs. Though there is a looot of hair.

Thickness: This has full coverage so your hair won't be peeking through the back. That'll only happen if you don't properly tuck your hair into a wig cap. There's quite a bit of hair and the thickness of the strands themselves are pretty thick and sturdy but don't compare them to real hair. If you part it in the back, it will show through though so part it thoughtfully if you want to style it up or something.

Shape: The hair is flat on top so if you like volume, you'll have to work that in there but it's difficult due to the length and it easily rats up at the bottom. The waves are pretty consistent throughout the wig but there are some parts that are just flat. It's mainly flat around the head and then the rest is wavy.

Wearability: It's a very long wig so it's kind of hard to wear it around with fear of it being pulled right off my head x] It's pretty comfy though but as most wigs, it's still kinda itchy with your hair just sitting in there . ___.


I really enjoy wearing this wig cause it's purdy and dolly :3
I'm thinking about getting the Flaxen Yellow version!
Guess for what?
Possibly a future cosplay of Taiga Aisaka and just for fun :D
(I realize I don't look like Taiga but I lub her and ToraDora ; ____;)
