As Yellow As Minions

My little sister said that every toy store that she's gone to were out of stock with their Minion (from Despicable Me 2) paraphernalia.  Aww shucks...

But guess what?  I have Minion complexion on my clothing!  Specifically my shorts.  And I am in love with them!  Bright colored shorts are definitely summertime staple.  ^_^

Pastel Coordinates
Pastel sweater from Esprit, yellow shorts from Esprit, mint green studded flats from Nine West, and colorful stack bracelet from Forever 21.
I love this shimmery pastel sweater from Esprit.  It would be great for Guam's cooler weather-
which is not until the next five months  ^^;;

Vivid Coordinates
Royal blue top from Everblue, yellow shorts from Esprit, black studded flats from Nine West, and faux sapphire earrings from Le Fleur 
I think I should have fixed my inside shirt XD  Anyway what I love about this blouse-
and is very unlikely of me- are the golden skull buttons.  I didn't know until after
the purchase but I warmed up to them.

K-Palette 1 Hour Tattoo Eyeliner Review

♥I love you, everyone!♥

It's nearly 12 o'clock and why in the world am I still awake?  I'm a teacher who's gotta get up early tomorrow, for crying out loud!  But here I am.  And it's all because I love y'all.

I promised a review, hence, I give you a review. :P

So.....

Yes!  Review!

K-Palette 1 Hour Tattoo Eyeliner Review


What it claims:
Designed to stay smudge-proof and tear-resistant throughout busy days and nights, this cutting edge formula applies smoothly and dries quickly, producing a weightless, lasting finish that is predictably worry-free.  Packaged with K-Palette's patented micro-fiber brush for precise application.*
It also claims: 

  • Smudge-proof and tear-resistant formula
  • One of Japan's top selling eyeliner
  • Easy to use for quick morning touch-ups and dramatic evening looks
  • Patented micro-fibre brush for precise control
  • Does not penetrate your skin
  • Sensitive eyes safe
  • No reapplication required, Stays on until you are ready to take it off
  • Removed by warm water, No makeup remover required*


Color:  
5/5  It's a good, solid black color.  It may not be the darkest ink out there, but it does the job well!

Formula Consistency:
5/5  I like how the ink doesn't flake as much as Dolly Wink's liquid eyeliner.  The formula is light but thick enough.  One swipe is all you need, unless you're aiming for a darker hue.  The formula glides smoothly, too, and does not skip.

Ease of Removal:
5/5  Very easy to remove with warm water or make-up remover.  

Brush:
5/5  The brush is amazing!  It gives very beautiful, calligraphic precision.  I can make thick or thin lines with ease.  And because it is a pen type, there is more control!

Tenacity/Lasting Power:
3/5  It is a great eyeliner!  It remains tenacious with water and gentle rubbing.  However, I am taking off 2 points.  Why?  Because if they claim to be a "24-Hour Tattoo," they better be truthful.  And unfortunately, it would not last me 24 hours.  It fades overtime due to sweat, sebum, tears in the corner of my eyes, or with eye drops.  Hence, touch-up is required.  Other bloggers say that it lasts them, but I guess Guam climate is the ultimate test. :)

Swatch: Observe the thick and thin lines it creates.  The color is good, too.
Test #1: Does not budge by splashing it with water.
Test #2: Removes really easily when rubbing while wet.
Test #3: When dry, if you rub gently, it will not come off.
But with a lot more elbow grease, it will rub off.
Test #4: Since I do use eyedrops and tear from time to time, I tested the eyeliner
with contact lens solution.  It will not come off by just splashing it, but comes off
very, very easily when rubbed.

Other Concerns:
  I got my K-Paletter eyeliner in Japan so I don't know how readily available it is in your nation.  It is available in many online stores but may be pricey depending on the store you shop from.  For example, it is just about $20 in Shoppingholics.com but Sasa.com sells it for only $15.70.  
  I really like it!  And personally I think it is a better buy than Dolly Wink.  I would repurchase it if I find a more reasonably priced one.  It's great, too, when you're on the go!  I would rate it 4/5!





Look of the Day

With Dolly Wink No.10 Sweet Cat false eyelashes.



I like this angle- makes my nose look taller :)

Pardon the background >.<  There's a lot of construction
happening lately, and the best lighting I have is from the
sun.  But yay! for sunny days!  It's been awfully rainy.

I wanted to do a Snow White look because pin-up make-up focuses on eyelining a lot.  But my friend said I look like Alice in Wonderland.  That totally changed how I was seeing this...  Oh well...
But iPhone does my look justice.  Yay!

Rainy Days and Clothes

We could afford to be silly, so my sister and I decided to hold a little fashion photo op.  Nothing fancy, but definitely warm/rainy weather wear and still cute.

...Well, at least to me!  :P


Blouse from Landmark Department Store (Philippines).

So, yeah, I am slouching.  But my shoes are cute.


What I like about this graphic tee is the red color
selection against the black and white.  Shirt from
Everblue, Skinny Jeans from Landmark Department
Store (Philippines), and Shoes from Nine West.

☀Summer Outfit☀

It's positively SUMMER!
☀

And the Guam heat has been quite oppressive.  And although I don't often wear shorts, it's become a need.  Here's my fashion idea for these coming summery days! ^^

Shirt and shorts from Esprit de Corps.  Moccasins
from Nine West.
Tip: You don't have to pay a pretty penny for
brand names.  Chance up on a sale!  Oftentimes,
I'd rather own brand name clothes because the fabric
and stitching are better and more durable.


Necklace from Macy's on sale for less than $10!

Easy nail design to match my outfit!  I'll have a quick tutorial
for you guys one of these days.

Spring/Summer Fashion

^0^ H i   e v e r y o n e!

Sometimes, I feel absolutely silly saying that I have anything affiliated with the four seasons.  You know, Guam has only two: rainy and dry.  Then, there isn't much of a difference in the fashion between the two, except you can wear sweaters in the rainy season because the dry season is becoming smoldering hot, especially within these recent years.  Global warming is REAL, yo! O.o

But, in saying all that---  a girl can dream, no?  I would really want to see spring and fall again someday :)  But I can live without winter...  I'm quite sure of that!

Maxi dresses are so summery ^___^  If you want to
appear instantly elongated and taller, an empire
waist maxi is the way to go.

My summer staple: hats and braids.  The white batwings blouse is
 reminiscent of spring because of the delicate floral details.

Floral details


Yup!  That is all.  :)  I hope this inspires you for the warm days to come.

Dolly Wink False Eyelashes No. 11 Pure Sweet Review

You wanna be dolly-kawaii?

I've never worn falsies in my entire life, knowing that it would make my make-up routine more complicated  :P  You know, I already take that long in front of the mirror, and my father may kick my butt if I stay any longer (Hehehe...  my father wouldn't do that, but you know!  He's a guy.  He no understand these things.)

But I checked out Shoppingholics because I really like Dolly Wink and since Tsubasa Masukawa released a new line, I thought, "Why not?"  It'd be for review purposes to help other ladies out there who would be considering these false lashes.

Package came after 2 weeks from Malaysia (since there are no direct
flights to Guam, the package went to California first. Hence, the wait).

Tsubasa is so chio here!  Can I be chio
like her?  :D

Nicely curled~

Pros:
  • Hair looks natural
  • Not shiny
  • Lightweight
  • Nicely curled
  • Quite comfortable, even if I were only a newbie ^o^
  • Glue lasts all night, but bring a tube just in case!
Cons:
  • May be too dramatic for everyday wear if you are new to falsies.
  • Separated hair can look unnatural
    • UPDATE: But they are some of the most natural-looking out there

Ja-jang!  My eyelashes will now make any heart a-flutter.  XD

How do you like my dress?  It's only 15 dollars!  Whee~

Wanted my nails to match my lips :)

Btw, I just wanted to tell you a story about this lip color.  I went to Macy's, in mind that I would get the most fantastic lip color I have ever seen.  Since fuschia is so in, I chose this color ^__^  I was beyond happy with my purchase :D  But when I came home and my mother saw me with it, she was horrified! She was watching some scary beans of a documentary about make-up addiction.  She thought I was on my way to becoming a tacky lady with bright green eyeshadow and a saggy face >.<  Anyway, thus my last purchase of make-up for the month.  *sigh*  Life is fantastic like this :D

Things of Yesterday

Yesterday was a good day and I spent it with the fam-bam!  Awesome!

But I didn't want to spend $$, though!  T___T  But there was this cute sweater in the window, and, and, and... I felt because I bought my coworker's baby a pretty little dress, I should buy myself one, too!
Just keedeeng!  ^o^  I didn't feel that way, but I thought the sweater and the dress were too cute to pass up.  So, here they are :)
ごめん for the bleeding red color >.<

Uber cute detail!  This is why~ T^T  I shall
call this my "Scrapbook Sweater" :p


Becoming more fond of those Geo Mimi Cafe's


OOTD on Saturday:
Ah... dress and boots~  In the tropics!♡
Cheeeezu! ✌
 I eventually wore the new dress and sweater combo for church on Sunday with my camel-colored boots.  >.< Boots are my super likes!  -___- meh...  I'm not this materialistic, really...
