Cotton On Mini Haul

Hi everyone! I just wanted to tell you all that I think I'll be revising my old posts, so they can be more helpful for people looking at them now. My old posts are not the quality of a review that I'd be satisfied with, so if I still have or use the product, I will be revising. 

Now onto the mini haul! Cotton On was having a big sale, so I ordered some things off of the website. This is just a small little haul sort of thing. I believe I ordered them last Wednesday and today is Monday, so the shipping time wasn't too bad. For those of you that don't know, Cotton On is an Australian brand. Most of their clothes are made of well... cotton. I think that the prices are a bit high, but at an outlet, they are pretty wonderful. ($5 dresses!) So, lets get started!
First off, we have some tights. They're just your basic black tights. These were originally $7.95 a pair, but due to the sale, they were $2 a pair. So this is $4 in tights, which in my opinion is a bargain... Since tights rip so easily..



 These are just some basic skinny belts. This set of 3 belts was only $2! The original price was $7.95. 



This is just a basic blue sleeveless top. The name is Katja S/L Shirt in the color Delta Blue. Its darker than it looked on the website, but its okay. This shirt was originally $24.95 but I got it for $5!


This is the Alma Textured Beach Tank in Black, originally priced at $14.95. I purchased it for $2. As you can see, its a see through tank top. Definitely beachwear. I didn't know it was so thin, but thats what happens when you online shop.


Lastly, we have these Eden Eternity Scarves in the colors Black and Gardenia. These were originally $19.95 but I got them for $5 each. I've been looking for these at a good price for a long time so I was really excited to get these. Now I have some scarves for winter!
Thanks for reading this short post!

Summer/Back to School Haul

Hi guys, I know I haven't posted like I said I would, so I'll be posting this compilation sort of thing right now. These are things I've purchased this summer... Yea. Um, my style in clothes has definitely changed, since the last time I made a clothing post. So, lets get started. I apologize in advance for these horrendous pictures, I lost my camera awhile ago... So these are all taken with my phone camera... Also! WE'VE CHANGED OUR URL to http://kawaii-nesss.blogspot.com/  ^.^
So first we have a mint colored sweetheart dress from Forever 21. It was $15.80 and I bought it about a month ago. I've worn it once; to 626 Night Market, which was really fun ^.^ This dress is very light and it has padding in it, which is nice, but I wore a bra under anyways.

In the middle, we have another dress from Forever 21. It's more red than the picture shows. It's very bright and summery. This dress was $14.80. I think it'd be super cute with a belt.

Next we have a high-low dress from Cotton On. This was only $5! It's pretty, but I think I'll need wedges to wear this, since its long.
These shorts are from a store called Fashion New Age, that is nearby where I live. They are high waisted shorts and I have been looking forward to getting a pair, so I'm excited to wear these. They were $10.99.

These shoes are super cute! They are from Marshalls and they were $16.99. I like these because they're a little different from normal flats, since they have the little laces there. And they cover up my ugly Tom's tan so yay ^_^

And last but not least, THE CAT SHIRT! If you know me, you'll know about my obsession with cats. This shirt was from Forever 21 and once I saw it, I was set on purchasing it. To my luck it was $8.80, which isn't too bad. Kitties!!!
Here we have more dresses! The first one is from Cotton On. It's a navy blue dress. Trust me. And it is really flattering, in my opinion. Its got little dots made of fabric all over it, so that gives it texture. If that makes sense... This one was $10.

In the middle, we have a black (trust me again) lace dress which is also from Cotton On. This one was also $10. I just like how soft it is and how the lace isnt obnoxiously visible unless you look closely.

The last dress is a light pink high-low dress I found at TJ-Maxx. It was on clearance for $10 and its really pretty. I think the reason why it was $10 was because there was a small lipstick stain, but it's really inconspicuous and I think I'll be able to get it out. Again, I'll have to wear heels with this... I'm short.
This dress is another one from Forever 21. I saw this about 3 times before I actually bought it, because I fell in love with it but I tried to hold back on buying more dresses. As you can see, I have quite a collection now. This dress is tight fitting, so I got a size up. It has a key print (the keys are velvety), which I love, since I'm in Key Club. I ought to wear it to a meeting and see if anyone gets my sense of humor. Don't worry, it's not actually a club about keys. Uh, anyways. I think the back on this dress is super adorable. Its kind of open but it just makes it cuter. This dress wasn't too bad at $13.80.
Don't worry, this is the last picture. In the upper left hand corner we have a nude colored tank top with a bow pocket (adorable). It's that chiffon style fabric. It's from a store near me called G-Stage and I think they have quite a few locations now. Some of the clothes here are really inexpensive, and some are overpriced, so you have to look around. This tank top was $11.99, which I normally wouldn't think of as a steal, but I'm really in love with it.

The second top is also from G-Stage and it has a bow in the front. It's navy blue (darker than the picture) and it's chiffon in the front and a softer jersey knit type of fabric in the back. This top was $7.99. See what I mean by some prices are good and some aren't as great?

The two makeup items were also purchased today, from Target. The Covergirl Clean powder is the powder I have been using, but since my first one broke and is almost all gone after attempting to salvage every bit, its time for a new one. I got it in the shade 150 Creamy Beige. It was about $6,  but I had a coupon for $1.50 off. The Natureluxe foundation was not something I was planning to buy but it was on clearance for $5, so I thought, why not try it? I had another coupon for $1 off, so yeah... I'm excited to try it and review it for you guys. So far, I've only smelled it. It smells clean, I like it.

So, we've reached the end of this looooong post. Thank you so much if you read through the whole post!

Essence Eyeliner Pen

Hi guys, finally, a new review! So, meet my new favorite eyeliner!
I've been using this one for a while now and it hasn't run out...yet.
So for those of you who don't know about essence, you should. They're pretty reasonably priced for what you get. I did a review on their concealer awhile back, so I apologize for the content, but it's pretty thorough. You can read that here.

On the packaging, it says:
eyeliner pen for a precise line
colour intensive and extra longlasting
smudge-proof
It does pretty much all of this, so nothings really wrong here. The color is dark enough, so that its not grey, thank goodness. If you accidentally rub your eye, it might rub some eyeliner off, but it doesnt smudge around (another thank goodness) and reapplying would fix that right up.

Okay, so for the tip. The tip is pretty thin and its a felt tip, which I really like. I can easily create winged liner. sorry for the blurry photo. 
Before, I was using Stila's Liquid Eyeliner pen, but that was $20. I'd say this is comparable, however, Stila's pen was thinner and the formula was waterproof, while this is not. Another product it is comparable to is the e.l.f. eyeliner pen, however, that dried out so quickly, I never got to do a review on that one!

It lasts pretty well though, and it doesnt flake off. I've worn it all day and it stays pretty well. If you feel the need to reapply though, go ahead.
It doesn't put much of a fight against water, or any liquid, so beware if you sweat. I had to put eyedrops in and it kinda disappeared... Which leads me to another thing I like about this. It comes off easily with water. I remember using the Stila one and taking it off was a pain. If I forgot to remove it before a shower, I would come out looking like a horror movie character, with eyeliner running down my face. I would also need to remove that with makeup remover after. I think that might be good though, since it implies good staying power.
Anyways, this one comes right off with my face soap and water, and it doesnt even stream down my face. When applying it, you can quickly wipe it off with a Q-Tip and everything will be okay. But if it already dried, just put some lotion on the Q-Tip. I really do love this eyeliner

Essence Eyeliner Pen
Rating: 10 out of 10 (best one I've found... still looking forward to trying waterproof version)
Price: $2.99
Where?: Ulta
Repurchase?: Sure!

I've Changed...


Hi Guys!
So here I am, back on the blog. And I did a little updating!

Yea... So I just wanted to go back and tell you guys why I don't use certain products anymore and why my everyday stuff has changed. To be honest, this is a stupid post and something I just felt like writing.

So lets start off with shampoo.
Honestly, the herbal essences was giving me bumps on my head >.< and I was getting sick of the scent. And I didn't think the conditioner was very moisturizing. I find the TRESemme ones to work better and I am so so happy because I had been waiting to try TRESemmes shampoo & conditioner.
I also switched my hairspray because my hairstyle has changed. I don't need extreme, crunchy hold anymore so I switched to something thats definitely lighter. I also stopped using the gel since my hair has grown out so its not as uh flyaway-y?

Next up is Skincare. Not much has changed, just moisturizer... theres no explanation for that because I LOVE the Olay one... It just got expensive...

Alright, now for makeup. I dont really use foundation but I have changed from the Sephora one, since I don't really like that one as much as the Maybelline one. Concealer is the same...  Setting powder changed because the e.l.f. one made me look pale and awkward. I still have it in my drawer... Mascara is same... I also changed my eyeliner since my other one go stolen by my oh-so-lovely (not) sister. Besides, I like the pen application much better. And I wear a lot less makeup on a daily basis, but that is due to laziness~

Thank you for spending time with me today, I appreciate it ^^
I hope I can post more this summer<3 p="">

Hello dears c:
So I have not been here in a very long time. I may be updating old posts so that they can be written with more refined syntax because I see that they are very poor in quality and quite embarassing x)
