My next project

So there's these sunglasses from Marialia.com that I have been obsessing over for almost two years now, no joke! They're $160 (for black, other colors are $172) and unfortunately I just haven't had the extra funds laying around for these:
Aren't they beautiful?

Every time I look at them I die a little inside.
So I was thinking a few days ago, umm why can't I make them myself? I can glue rhinestones too! But the problem is, the Swarovski crystals they use are so bloody expensive! So I have some black rhinestones that aren't Swarovski, but they're still pretty sparkly! I did have to order more of them though and they are only $1 for 1000 of them on ebay. I also found the heart sunglasses on ebay for super cheap! I think they were less than $2! The glasses and the rhinestones are both coming from China so it's going to be at least 2 weeks before I can start :(
But I'm super excited to try this and see how they look!

Updates & Blog Whores

I may be new here but .....what is up with these girls on this website that only care about getting blog followers? Is it really such a big deal? I don't know about you, but I'd rather someone follow my blog because they like it, not to just get followers on their own blogs.
The reason I'm saying this is because I've been getting emails lately from bloggers letting me know that if I follow their blog, they will follow mine. One of the blogs was written completely in German. I don't even speak German.
Of course it's nice to have subscribers, but what is the point of having subscribers if they don't even really like your blog? I follow quite a few blogs, and they're all about stuff I am interested in and genuinely like!
So I am really starting to like this blogging thing. Yeah, I'm a little late in the game and yeah, I only have two followers, but it's still fun :)  It's kind of like a journal of sorts, a journal of stuff I like! I can't wait to get more posts up, I have so much to talk about which is funny because I'm pretty quiet in RL and I have very few friends. But I do prefer it that way and I like being alone than being around a group of people!
So hopefully in a few days I'll have more posts, I am super busy with school right now. It's my last week and I have final exams :(  Back to my studying (boooo!) 
Ciao for now! <3

It's the final countdown!

Ooooh I have so much work to do! Its my last week of school and being the procrastinator that I am, I am trying to make up some work I haven't finished! I only waited until midnight to start....but I have 9 hours until class so I thought I'd make a quick post to let my (nonexistent) followers know I have more stuff coming up soon :)
Hope everyone has a fantastic Memorial Day weekend!!!!

Lens Review: iFairy Kirei Green

Another pair of iFairy lenses! My favorites for comfort!
Lens: iFairy Kirei
Color: Green/Aqua
Diameter: 16mm
From:  Uniqso

I have nothing bad to say about these lenses. They are amazingly comfortable, I can't even feel them in my eyes. The color is...just WOW! It's green, but more of a gorgeous blue-green color. And it blends so nicely with my light eyes! There is a very prevalent "halo effect", where you can see the whites of my eyes through the lens when I look to the side or look up. It's really cool!


Really cool halo effect on these!

 Only thing is...eye makeup/eyeliner/mascara or fake lashes is kinda a must with these. The huge diameter coupled with the thick black limbal ring is very dramatic and looks totally alien-like with no eye makeup! Sometimes I don't always wear eyeliner on my bottom lash line, but with these I have to. False lashes also help balance out the look! They are gorgeous though, and I get so many compliments when I wear these! Definitely one of my favorites!

Deco Nails!

This is something I've totally been wanting to do for a long time! Ever since I made my phone case and I started seeing all the amazing deco 3-D nail designs that are so popular in Asia! I had ordered some small roses a while ago for my phone case, they didn't arrive in time so I didn't use them. They came in the mail today and I thought they would be so perfect for some nail art. ^_^
This is what my nails looked like this morning. Those are the eBay nails, I thought
they looked better as just an "accent" nail!
So I got on YouTube because I had seen tutorials on making things out of acrylic, like roses and bows. It took me a while but I finally started to get it! They looked like crap at first lol.
I used one of my dual form molds to make them on so
they would be curved and stay on my nail better!

I made about 40 of these before they started looking decent!
You can tell which ones I made first, and which ones I made last :)


Then I painted my nails with my nail art polishes. I've never been very good at this but it's ok because I was covering them up with stuff anyway. :D
I ended up painting over that deformed heart on my middle finger hehehe

I am not very good at this part LOL!!


Next, I added the bows, roses, and couldn't forget the rhinestones!! I think they are pretty cute for my first attempt at this! I used nail glue but I'm wondering if I should have used craft glue for this? It would have been easier if I made the nails, then put them on, but I already had nails on my fingers so I just painted them like that!




UPDATE: Omg these things are so freaking annoying! They keep getting tangled in my hair LOL!! But so cute!

Too Faced Primed & Poreless Powder

I have found my perfect foundation routine! I also wanted to break up some of these circle lens posts LOL!! Soooo...I felt like I should make a post about my newest discovery. Well it's not completely brand new. I have been using this for a month now, just to make sure I love it. The Too Faced Primed & Poreless powder. This does come in a liquid form also, but I wanted the powder because I wanted something to wear over my bb cream to set it. Originally I would wear my bb cream (either Skin79 Orange or Lioele Triple the Solution) and then my MAC Studiofix. It was nice, but sometimes it was just too heavy! I live in very humid heat and I would rather have something lighter on my face!


I saw this product at my local Ulta while stalking the Too Faced section. I do love Too Faced cosmetics, especially their little square box palettes! I only have Romantic Eye but I use it all the time and the other ones are beautiful too! I also have a few individual eyeshadows (Magic Mushroom=Ah-may-zing!) and Their Amazing face liquid foundation and pressed powder foundation. I haven't worn the foundation in quite a while because I prefer my bb cream :(
Anyways it was $28 and the packaging was gorgeous, naturally, as everything in the Too Faced line is. On the packaging it states that it can be used alone, under foundation, or over foundation as a setting powder. I wasn't blessed with great skin unfortunately, so I rarely go without foundation or bb cream. My pores aren't like huge, but they're definitely visible to me. So I put this on my face before bb cream/after moisturizer and I swear my pores disappeared lol. After I put my bb cream, of course you couldn't see it but it did act as a pretty OK base. What blew me away was the way it looked over my bb cream/foundation. It turned my skin instantly matte and it just looked airbrushed. It is super pretty! I didn't even need that much, just a light veil over my t-zone. You do have to be careful not to use too much of this. It can look powdery and white if you use too much.
So I absolutely love the way this set my bb cream/foundation. I'm not sure how it looks on dark skin, I am a pretty pale chick! It is translucent but it can make me look even lighter. Sometimes I will use a little blush and bronzer under it and it still looks great. I think the amount of product you get could be a little more for the price, but I can tell this stuff will be lasting me a very long time.
I wish I had a better camera but once I get the memory card (or a USB cable) for my digi cam I will be able to take much better pics and I promise to update this!

I have a review coming of these lenses.
