Punky Colour: FLAME//review

Hi guys! Today I'll be reviewing something I just bought today! Crazy I know!

Recently my red ombre was fading and it was bringing me down because I love bright colors in my hair. So after work I popped by a Shoppers and bought Punky Colour. I debated whether I wanted a warm red/pink red/or purple red but finally decided on the true red called 'Flame'

I left it in for half an hour and it's gorgeous! Super easy to use and super thick so it didn't run all over the place. I didn't notice any staining in my bathtub nor on the counters. Super easy to clean up and only 12 dollars for a tub.
What I love most about dying my hair now is that it's ombre and I only need to do the tips. Sooo low maintenance.
I'll be definitely using this again in between salon appointments and I don't feel any damage done to my already abused hair haha.
I just wish it was a truer red. It came out a hiiiint of orange. Still, can't complain.

Color Accuracy: 4/5
Ease of Use: 5/5
Price: 4.5/5 [I'm super cheap Asian. I hate shelling out money for myself. :C]

 

[BEFORE: with flash[

[AFTER: without flash]
I was bad. I didn't take both pics without flash. But I didn't retouch the photos/alter the color at all!

This is truly how vibrant it came out!
So happy. I can't wait to see it in the sunlight.

It's been hectic these past few days!

School started again and the new year is full of new friends and new experiences!
I made it my New Years' resolution to be more friendly and outgoing and a more loving girlfriend.

Here are a few photos from my new camera!
The things I experienced in these photos were [in no particular order]... a homemade takoyaki party with my classmates from 3D at my school!
A very drunk New Years.
A photoshoot on a rainy day.
A dear friend's birthday lunch downtown.
A very drunk night with some classmates from VFS in which I found the Mystery Machine and took pics with my cosplay friends.
And various other things!

Boyfraaaan and I. <3

 During the photoshoot we got soaked. My hair is looking a little messy because of the rain haha.

 New year's soba with my classmates Eiki and Maria! 

 Eiki cooking takoyaki.
Seriously we were all so full it was awful haha

 These actually aren't my nails. They're my friend's nails.
My guy friend's nails.

His hands are so graceful it makes me sick.

 I bought 3 new revlon polishes in coral pink, mint, and midnight blue. I couldn't resist trying them out ASAP...
On my guy friend's nails ha ha ha

My Kimchi Bambi Blue lenses finally came a week ago!
A review will be coming soon!

My friend got me some goodies and they're all absolutely stunning.
I haven't had a chance to look through all of it yet.

Me wearing said lashes and Kimchi Bambi Blue lenses! I love them. So gyaru and so totally new to me.

 This phone case was commissioned by me from Anna Chen of jelly-anna.com
It's so cute and definitely what I wanted. It's so over the top and glamorous imo
The boyfriend thinks it's ridiculous but what does he know? HAHA
Thanks so much Anna! <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But yeah it's been great this new year and I can't wait to see what it brings!

But I can't lie, lately it's been snowing like crazy and I'm already eagerly looking forward to spring.

Here's some items I'd like to get for the new season.

A lace overlay skirt. In pink would be gorgeous but I have no idea where I could get this! I found it on tumblr.

;____;

I've been wanting a white chiffon top for at least 2 years now.

AAAND I bought white ankle socks with lace trim so I can finally coord my black 99 JC's with spring clothes!

Reviews on revlon polish

Kimchi Bambi Blue

I leave you with a hilarious photo I took and photoshopped. My one friend in the driver's window took the photo and before we could take another pic my camera ran out of batteries. So I took a photo of him in cosplay and photoshopped him in.

/solution

You can tell we were all pretty drunk.

Holiday Spirit!// Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner review// life snaps

Hi guys! How is everybody's Christmas?
I hope it was wonderful regardless of religion!
I know our family still celebrates!

As for me, I've been busy shopping and taking some time off for myself. Reading some of my favorite books.
My boyfriend and I recently had our 2 year anniversary so we spent a whole day together and had a nice dinner at White Spot!
I'm planning a couples shoot too, so more on that when it actually happens! :3

Also I got new hair done recently. Dark auburn all over except for a bright red ombre at the bottom.
LOVE!

I'll just post some pics and leave you all with well wishes!

 Friend's dog who lives nearby! He's out of the province for schooling so the bf and I dropped by the house to wish his mum a happy birthday!

 The place where I work is magical HAHA

I leave you guys with this song I've been listening to recently! It suits the holidays perfectly in my opinion.

[why does leopard print suit christm-]
ENOUGH QUESTIONS, GOODBYE

I think it's the general sense of 'up to no good' and the red lips and smokey eyes that makes me think of the holiday nights ;D

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

eeeeverywhere you go!

Sorry again for the kinda hiatus to anyone who...checks...this blog...orz
I've been really busy with school! We were set up in groups of 6-7 people to do a small 3D animated film. We had to make everything ourselves and it was super fun and challenging!
In the end there were a few complications so it doesn't look the most polished, but I believe that you can really see our effort here as a result in the animation!


I'll upload the video when we have the time to upload it to a hosting site! Right now all of the group members, including me are super burnt out. |

Also I've been working part time during the holidays to hustle up some cash for gifts and traveling expenses.
I work at Godiva and it's craaaaaazy nowadays. Everyone wants chocolate zzzz


Another thing going on was something called eBay! orz||| I recently got an account and I just couldn't resist some of the things being sold. As well as Sasa having a Black Friday online sale, I managed to amass quite a haul.
WHAT I BOUGHT: and not all of it has arrived so I will try to do a mass review when I receive everything.

= Dolly Wink Liquid Liner
= Marciano Shane Dress // in color INK
= EBAY Black lace shorts
= Kimchi Bambi Blue contact lenses
= EBAY Purple long wig for cosplay

Also the boyfriend and I got a chance to go shopping together today and for me that was really fun and sweet of him to volunteer. He hates shopping. He absolutely loathes it.
But the fact that he spent so long in H&M trying things on and putting up with me dithering around looking for clothes for him meant a lot to me.
Also he bought me two sweaters for Christmas that he MADE me pick out because he doesn't know what's in my closet.
Then again, neither do I...

In the end, I bought a nice vest for him to spice up his casual outfits a bit more and it really looks good on him! He also bought some straighter cut jeans as opposed to his looser ones.
I think he's embracing his more fashionable side : D


Here's some picture spam! Sorry for low quality, guys! I'm asking for a nice camera for Christmas so that it inspires me to take more artsy pics and blog more!

Why yes I am standing on the edge of the bathtub. /NO REGRETS

The boyfriend trying on various things per my request.  He looks so good though!

The neighborhood cat. It is so gorgeous but won't let you pet it. Just approaches you and comes really close rofl

Dolly Wink no. 2 review// what I've been wearing recently

Hey readers! [very small amount I know orz|||]
I'm at school right now and needing a bit of downtime from working so I thought I'd do another post!

I received the limited edition set of Tsubasa eyelashes because my friend showed me a website called AdamBeauty . If you don't know, they sell their Dolly Wink lashes for a super affordable price. I paid 15ish dollar for a no.2/no.6 set and limited edition eyelash case.  The case is SO useful. I can fit almost all of my lashes in there.

As for the no.2 lashes....well I was sort of disappointed. Maybe I was too used to the stiffer band, but it was quite difficult to put on, and I'd like to say I'm pretty adept at putting lashes on after almost 3 years of using them.

They were however super comfortable because of said flimsy lash band.

BUT I also noticed how much I had to cut to make them fit my eyes. /SOB
So it was kind of a waste.  Oh well.
I will probably not repurchase.
Here's a pic of me wearing the set together when I had a 'gyaru' day out with a friend of mine. A saleslady in Costa Blanca complimented me on my lashes so all was well >w<
I've even had a few girls compliment me when I wear them out clubbing.

Also what do you guys think about the hair style? I tried the twists on the side /mock braids. Kinda hostess-y? I think it'd be good for nights out. A new way to do hair that's not up or down but in-between?

Another thing I've been doing is using lip products again.  Usually because of school and my schedule I just slap on lip balm and go and also because my glosses/lippies are scattered around the house lol...
So I took a go at finding them. It was a fun game of hide and seek and except for my one MAC ltd edition lippy, I think I've found them all!

My favorite go-to has been Etude House's lip tint in red. It moisturizes, isn't sticky at all, delivers a punch of color, and tingles, as it claims it has plumping properties. Since it already has a good color delivery, I like to layer it over my red lipsticks to keep my lips smooth and amp it up a bit. I don't see any plumping when I wear it, but summer or winter, it's one of my favorites to wear when I'm feeling brave.

I might not be able to update as [in]frequently now because school is getting reaaaally crazy aaaaaaaand I got a part time job!

That's right!

I'll be working at Godiva at Metrotown for the holiday season!
Hopefully they like me enough to keep me on for the rest of the year, because that would be great.
I'll start training in the next week or two, but until then, I gotta shop for work outfit. :>

Later!

Happy November!

Ahhh I missed blogging about Halloween but that's okay because I had fun despite not going trick-or-treating like I usually do!

[I might be too old, but I can usually pass for younger so I think it's okay. I'm still a kid at heart u___u]

This year I was in school working, but since the teacher had a 'sick' day we decided to catch up on assignments, order pizza, and play Amnesia.  If you don't game a lot or listen to gamers talk, you wouldn't know Amnesia probably since it was released by an indie game studio.

Here's a funny video to explain what it's like to play. :D

I chickened out after the first 5 minutes when things are just moving on their own! Q___Q omg all the guys manned up and played despite being scared. The worst feel is when you turn a corner and one of the monsters is right in front of you. AHHHH
You can't fight/hurt them. You can only run. And you generally run slower than them.

It's so scary and perfect for Halloween!

Recently I've been in a few shoots because a lot of my friends are photographers and they need models. "Models" lol.  SO here are a few pics I especially liked that my friends took!

Also pictured here is Kathy who is the sweetest thing! <3

Next up in a Halloween themed dance that a local anime club was hosting.  It was super fun and really nice to see friends again that I hadn't seen since summer.

I was also in a hair photoshoot because a very close friend of mine was graduating salon school!
It was definitely an experience and I got to have my hair tortured lol but the result was awesome!



Sorry I haven't been blogging lately guys! All my spare time has been going to school!
I'll try to do some more reviews for you guys!
