Safe, Cheap & Healthy Makeup from Essence

Tuesday, June 9th, 2015

I just discovered the makeup brand Essence today, and while I was drawn to them for the great variety in their eyeshadow palette colors and affordable price, it was like an extra bonus learning that they are among the safer and more health-conscious makeup brands out there!  It was exciting to learn that good, clean products like that are available for an accessible price.

Here is a selection of my most-desired Essence products!

All About Candies Eyeshadow

These palettes come in several colors with different names –
“All About Sunrise,” etc., but OBVIOUSLY the one names “Candies”
with the soft pastel colors is the best one!
$5 is amazing for an eyeshadow palette!!

essence_xxxlshine_lipgloss

XXXL Shine Lipgloss

This is available in so many cute shades of pink!
I am THE BIGGEST fan of glossy, shimmery lips!

essence_allaboutmatt_fixingcompactpowder

All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder

I want this so bad!!
Fixing powder is a luxury I’ve never been able to indulge in,
they’re just too expensive!  This $4 one means I might be able to finally try one!

Lash Princess Volume Mascara

Look at this adorable packaging!!
It would look wonderful on the vanity. <3
!!!AND!!!  Right now, there is a promotion going on where
you can get this mascara for free when you buy $10 worth
of other Essence stuff.
And the other products I’ve linked to here add up perfectly!!

Pretty Pink Sweet Hime Gyaru Shoes!

Sunday, June 7th, 2015

There are a lot of words to describe the styles that these shoes could work for – hime gyaru, sweet hime, casual hime, roma gyaru, hime kaji…  There are likely countless others whose names I haven’t even heard.

But!!  Regardless, here are some sweet pink shoes (and other colors, too!) decorated with dainty bows and comfortable, chunky heels.

Flowery Scalloped Wedge Heels

Omg, those 3D flowers all over the heel (and bows along the back)
are THE CUTEST THING I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE!!

Dainty Bow Wedge Heels

The tiny criss-crossing stitches and bows around the heel are
these shoes’ charm point!!  And of course the bows on the toes, too!

floral wedge sandals

Floral Chiffon Bow Wedge Sandals

The fabric on these sandals actually comes in a LOT of designs –
just clickthrough to the product page to see all of them!
My favorites are the florals, though!  There are these pink ones,
and pink floral on a black background, and a lovely floral
with a princess blue background as well~

Velvety Bow Wedges

Every time I see brown and pink together,
I think of milky chocolately flavors~
The velvet texture of the bows on these is reinforcing that visual!

Kawaii Blouses in Sweet Pastel Colors

Monday, June 1st, 2015

Hello!! ^o^/  My roundup today features the Ebay store Little Chili Shop, which features tons of sweet, pastel clothes!  Today I will go over some blouses in several colors that will be versatile additions to your wardrobe!

Sweet Pastel Pink Blouse

This one is my favorite out of today’s selections!! *o*
The lace at the top, the sweet pink gingham – it’s just the cutest!

kawaiibloouse_blue

Sweet Pastel Blue Blouse

Mysteriously, in the preview photos, there is a big bow
front and center on this blouse, but it is missing in the singular
preview pics.  I honestly don’t know if you get the bow or not!

The color is cute either way, and I am a huge fan
of the ruffled sleeves.

Kawaii Sweet Baby Pastel Tank Top Dress

The nursery theme of this top (or dress) is so cute!!
Those illustrations look vintage!

kawaiiblouse_lavender

Sweet Pastel Lavender Dress

This one features a cute chunky heart and open-shoulder sleeves!!
I like it a lot!!

kawaiiblouse_white

Sweet Sheer Lace Blouse

This one doesn’t feature a pastel color as prominently as the others,
and it makes the floral fabric of its bow and buttons stand out!
I LOVE the sheer lace around the shoulders and collar!!
