Update ♡

Hi lovelies,

As you can see from the title this is a little life update that I will be bringing all of you today. I haven’t had the chance to talk much about myself and my personal life so I guess this will be some bonding time for us (unless you don’t want to bond that’s cool too)…anyway I am originally from Southern  California but I moved up to Northern California to go to college and I have successfully completed my first year. I will soon start school again so that means I will have to lug all my things back up North which is a pain in the butt, both figuratively and literally (7 hour car rides literally hurt your behind). I’m very stressed since I won’t be living in the dorms this year but in my own apartment with a friend which is a completely different ball game and I could dedicate a separate post to just this. I have been frantically running around trying to minimize the things that I pack. I solely want to bring along things that I will actually use and not just things that will take up space. So all in all my life is hectic at the moment and I’m borderline an emotional wreck. So what’s the point of me sharing this with you all? Well my fellow internet friends I’m going to be leaving to my new apartment on the 22^nd of this month and I won’t be posting much if anything after this post. I apologize and hope you all can understand that I am one of those people that suck at packing much less packing up for a move and this will take up most of my time until I am settled in. I’m also very excited to mention that I will be getting a new camera so I will be able to do makeup tutorials now that the picture quality will be a lot better!! I also have a ton of product reviews that I am going to be whipping up so definitely look forward to that. Even though I will be busy with school I will be posting a lot more and I am just so excited for it. I guess that’s all for now, thanks for reading, and next time I talk to you all I will be in Northern California 

Stay kawaii, xoxo Lucy ♡

 

Drugstore Products: Mini Wishlist ♡

Hello lovelies,

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and are ready to take on Monday (I'm not). So today I bring you all a mini wishlist of drugstore makeup products/tools that I have really wanted to get my hands on. I'm definitely someone who enjoys the quality of high end products but drugstore brands have and always will have a special place in my little makeup lovin' heart. This is just a mini wish list because if I had a full sized wishlist we'd be here for days, nobody got time for that. These are just a couple of drugstore goodies that I need to have and try out so without further ado here are my four makeup wants:

1. e.l.f Essential Eyelid Primer - This little baby is only $1 and I have read countless reviews that swear by this primer. Even if this turns out to be a dub I don't mind losing $1.

2. e.l.f Essential Eyeshadow Brush - Another e.l.f product, surprise surprise. Again I have heard many amazing things about this eyeshadow brush both on blogs and YouTube and for a $1 you cannot go wrong.

3. Revlon colorstay foundation - I have used this foundation during my high school days and it didn't go so well. I don't think it was the foundation itself that wasn't great but my skin which was very acne prone and oily that even high end foundations seemed to fail me. My skin still sprouts the usual pimple and I am still a bit oily, but my skin has healed quite nicely compared to how it once was. Revlon is the king of drugstore foundations in my opinion so I want to re-use this bad boy and hope to be wowed by it.

4. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - This particular line from Maybelline has been raved to me by a couple of my close girlfriends so I have really wanted to try this concealer out and see how good it really is.

I know I know, you might be thinking to yourself  what a BORING wishlist as all these products are basics and not a crazy eyeshadow or blush but I believe that having the basics such as foundation, eye primer, concealer, and good brushes are essential in anyone's collection. It would be a bonus if you are able to snatch up such essentials for a cheap price. I will be going out soon and purchasing these items and reporting back to you all as soon as I can.

Thank you so much for reading and have a wonderful week.

Stay kawaii, xoxo Lucy♡

Non-beauty things that I am currently enjoying ♥

Hello my lovely readers,

The month of August is now behind us and I'm always baffled at how quickly this year is coming to an end. There is only four months left of this year, yeah let that sink in. Anyways I didn't post up an August favorites just because I haven't been using any kind of makeup on my face. It has been extremely hot these days and I have just been sticking with my handy dandy Pond's moisturizer and a basic sunscreen. I thought it would be fun if I just shared with you all what non-beauty things I am enjoying. Shall we get started?

The first thing that I have been hooked on is a Korea Drama by the name of Jung Yi, The Goddess of Fire. I have just started watching this and oh my goodness I can't stop watching! This is a 2013 drama that is currently airing in Korea and recounts the true events and life of  a woman named Baek Pa-sun who became the first female potter and porcelain artist in the Joseon Dynasty. I'm not a big fan of historical dramas, to be entirely honest I can never get passed the first episode, but this drama has captivated me in a way that has left me wanting more after every episode. I have grown so attached to all the characters in a matter of a few episodes which is very rare for me to do no matter how good a drama is. The story itself is beautiful and empowering and again just the fact that it is based on real life events makes it all the more memorable. I'm currently on episode 12 and I am fangirling my little heart out! I highly recommend this drama and I might dedicate a whole post to it.

The second non-beauty thing I have been enjoying is another drama, surprise surprise, by the name of A Tale of Two Sisters. This is a drama that is currently airing in Korea on KBS and is 120 episodes long. I'm not usually a big fan of super long dramas like this one because I sometimes feel like the story line gets dragged on for so long that I eventually lose interest. This drama is very family orientated and will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside and is quite dramatic which will not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is mine. This drama follows the story of Choi Se Young who was adopted as a young girl and lives a happy life due to the unconditional love of her adopted family. Her past soon catches up to her as she is reunited with her biological mother and finds herself in constant struggle with her adopted family and family by blood. This drama really is lighthearted and fun and of course heart wrenching in certain moments. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys romance and family centered dramas as you will find your self laughing and crying along with the characters.

Finally I have been really enjoying some of these songs that I will be mentioning, without a doubt they have become my summer anthem and make me want to dance around!

1. Growl - EXO
2. Rum Pum Pum Pum - f(x)
3. Study - Stellar
4. Treasure - Bruno Mars

These are just a couple of things that I have been enjoying and thank you so much for reading! Until next time.

Stay kawaii, xoxo Lucy♡
