Review: Etude House High Cheeks Bling me Prism Look at My Eyes in Noon Sun #RD303

Here's one of the items I got from the Etude House in Harajuku!  I never really took an interest in their eye shadows until these ones came out.  They seem to be more pigmented and glittery than their other eye shadows, which is why I was attracted to them!  It wasn't broken when I got it, not sure what happened (my purse probably), but it's definitely still usable

I got pictures of it in the sun, with flash, and indoor lighting

And a wet and dry swatch with flash and without

Isn't it pretty?? =D I want to try the other colors!

Diary: Ramblings and Plans

I really love blogging and modeling.  Lately, I think they have become my main passions.  Well of course still fashion, and obviously Japan, since that's where I want to pursue modeling and blog about the most.  I'm considering looking into some modeling agencies in Japan sooner rather than later, so I'm going to really try to better myself this summer, starting with losing some weight!  I've already started exercising every day a few days ago, so I have to keep it up!

I've been inspired by Dakota Rose, Taylor R, and ArisuCookie so much lately!  And missing Japan a lot too.  I feel like I'm just waiting to start my dreams.  Everything that I want to do can't happen until I can go to Japan, which requires graduating, lots of money, school applications or job options, getting rid of so much of my stuff, and for modeling, my body has to be the best it can be.  Learning Japanese is on that list too DX 

Ahhhh there's just so many little things I have to do first...

~♡❤♡ ♡❤♡ ♡❤♡~

Anyway, for my blog now, I was thinking about doing a tour of my closet, because I finally have a walk in closet big enough to hold all my clothes!  Plus that's motivation for me to finish cleaning it...

I'm also considering starting to do a little bit of vlogging, but I don't want to start a youtube (aka whole other social media to pay attention to, work on, and get followers for).  Plus I know very little about video editing, and I'm sure when life starts to get busy and stressful again, I won't be able to keep up as easily as I can with just blogging.  I might just post them on here, if I do.  Still not sure if I want to though.  I might test it out for the closet tour post.

One other post I'm thinking of starting up is an occasional music post for those times I go on a new music searching binge through Youtube

Aaaand my best friend Arianna is coming to visit me tomorrow!!  She went home to her family for the summer, so that's where she's been.  She'll be going to Hong Kong for the rest of the summer in less than 10 days, so I'm so glad I'll get to see her before she leaves!  We're planning on both wearing cat-themed outfits, since we both have a lot of cat-themed clothes and accessories, and I'll definitely do a blog post about it!

And last but not least, I've been working on an Amazon wishlist since my birthday is coming up on August 4th, and now I'm gonna shamelessly post it here =D

Look of the Day: Liz Lisa and Red Lips

It's 90 degrees today, so I thought a nice cool Liz Lisa dress would be a good idea!  Necklace is Angelic Pretty.  The lips were inspired from this Youtube video by Taylor R.  I would have worn more makeup, but it was soooo hot, I'm surprised the lips lasted this long!  Pictures taken by Takeru ❤ It was super windy and hot, and we had to dodge cicadas DX

Blog: Japan Day 5 Part 1: Vintage Stores in Koenji

I took a little break from my Japan blog posts because of the bunch of modeling I've been up to lately, and I didn't have wifi at home, but I do now! =D

♡❤♡❤♡❤♡

On this day, we were really feeling the time limit start to affect what we wanted to do =/  I'm going to try to post links to the stores' websites/Instagram pages if I follow or can find them, sort of like a Koenji shopping guide!

We began by trying a type of ramen made with milk that is one of Takeru's favorites at a place called Ramen Manpuku (ラーメン万福).  Actually the first message he ever sent me on Line was a picture of this ramen and him telling me about it XD So I was really excited to finally try it (even though it sounded so strange).  It was so good!  I think it's my favorite ramen so far.

I just did a google search of this place to see if they had a website or anything (they do not) and found that RocketNews24 (really cool blog/news about Japan) did an article about it!  I'm surprised since I wasn't able to find out much about it online, and according to Takeru, it's not a super popular place except for with ramen fanatics.

After we ate, we rushed through the vintage clothing stores.  We spent some time in the first store called Comyu, and talked to the girl who works there, and she goes to the school that I want to go to!  The store is so cute and has a lot of Gunne Sax dresses!

Then this store I follow on Instagram! I didn't even realize when I went there until after XD I can't find if they have a website though...

[Instagram]

And here's another one that I didn't realize I followed on Instagram already when I went inside.  They had sooooo many Gunne Sax dresses in this one!  It's called Aileen by GrogGrog

This one I couldn't find a website for, but they have a Facebook page.  It's so bright and colorful!

[Facebook]

This one is called Tatouage by Zool.  I didn't get a chance to go inside unfortunately DX But you guys better believe next time/when I live in Tokyo, I'm gonna explore and blog so hard and in detail about everything I can find here!

[Instagram]

And last but not least, the shop I had been planning to go to ever since I discovered it by accident on Instagram a while ago, Fizz! It's actually right above Tatouage. They have a huge, beautiful selection of Gunne Sax dresses!  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to buy any at that time.  They were pricier ones, but for good reason as they were the nicest dresses, good condition, and well taken care of!  I will definitely be visiting this store in the future :D

Ok, next post from spring break will be a few more random pictures from Koenji and around Tokyo, and my love hotel trip ;D Also, be expecting my Look of the Day post from my time in Japan

Happy Monday Promoter!

Soooo guess what guys?!?!? I entered a contest on Happy Monday's Instagram page to be a promoter  for their clothes and I actually won!!!  I've entered sooo many contests like these, but this is the first time I've ever won!!

This is their original post:

So I guess I'll get one of the tops in the picture, and then also a code to share?  And of course I'll also take super cute pix wearing it and do a post about it here!  XD

Here's their announcement post:

Colorfulkittendolly is me!!  I like the way they hid the winners, like a surprise by tagging them so you have to tap the screen to see  XD

 I've contacted them with my information and I'm currently waiting for their response!  And I'm already putting together outfits in my head!

Review: Jill Stuart Cherry Shell Nail Polish

I've been meaning to review this forever!  This was a gift to me from my Japanese friend two years ago at the end of my study abroad as a birthday/going away gift.  It's the only Jill Stuart item I currently own, and I believe you can only get it in Japan.  The color is called Cherry Shell

The color is absolutely perfect, my favorite shade of pink!  It also dries surprisingly fast

Blog: Yesterday with Friends

Just a little post about my day yesterday.  I was thinking about leaving my camera at home, but I'm so glad I didn't!

First of all, we spotted a very photogenic rabbit eating lunch! It let me get so close without running away

After that, we went to go play badminton (original plan was tennis, but rain....)

There was a sudden downpour while we were inside, so when we went outside after the rain, there were a few soaked cicadas hanging onto leaves.  At least they cant fly in your face when they're wet XP  Very unpopular opinion I'm sure, but I actually like the cicadas!  You only get to see them like this every 17 years!  They're annoying when they fly like right at my face, but I don't mind if they land on me nicely, or if I pick one up and let it crawl on me.  They are a bit loud, but it doesn't bother me that much

Then after the rain, while we were deciding what to eat, there was a rainbow!

Wet cicadas, photogenic bunny, and perfect rainbow.  Glad I brought my camera!
