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!

essence_allaboutcandies_eyeshadow

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!

essence_lashprincess_volumemascara

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!!

3D Eyeshadow

Miniature palettes of two colors with a brilliant, shimmery sheen!

Kawaii Holiday DIY – How to Sew a Cute Easter Bunny Dress(Zipper method) – Lolita fashion

Yumi King is a Youtuber who frequently posts DIY videos for making your wardrobe cute!  Turn annotations on if they are not showing up by default~

If I had to add anything, my advice would be to fold your edges under TWICE if you try this out yourself, rather than just once as shown sometimes in the videos, and backstitch at the beginning and end of sewing every line as well. n_n

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!

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!
