Eye Shadow +Pixi by Petra 

After dying my hair darker, I noticed how well it matched a lot of my monotone clothes and added a little bit of an edge, although it is not a bright or striking color. To be honest, at first, I hated the color of my hair because I wanted to keep it red like before, but I have slowly started to like it even more because I can see how it contrasts and defines my face nicely.

As to my outfit, I want to tell you that Sheinside is a great place to find fashionable and unique pieces at a very low price compared to other high end stores. I really recommend it because not only is it fashionable but also has great quality to the fabric they use. For example, the jacket/ cardigan I am wearing is really really warm and the top is very soft and is not see through.

February 2015 Ipsy Subscription Box Review

Ipsy is a monthly makeup and beauty subscription box for $10. It sends you 4 to 5 products, both full and sample size, personalized depending on your preferences. 

This month, I got six products because I accumulated enough points to get an extra freebie, which was the pink bottle or the "mane tamer" cream. I was really surprised by what I got this month because I really liked everything and I thought that everything was quite on point with what I personally prefer using and experimenting with. 

1) Eva NYC Volumizing Spray (1 oz) $3

I used this spray before straigtening my hair and it definitely helped my hair stay moiturized and volumize my hair. I really noticed the difference because my hair is very thin and when I straigten it, it looses al of the little volume it has, but this time it preserved it and helped my hair look better.

2) Mitchell and Peach Fine Radiance Face Oil (10 ml) $22

http://www.mitchellandpeach.com/collection/products_id/15/cPath/0

3) Emite Professional Eye Curler $25

I have to say that I am a little disappointed with this one because it came a little unaligned, but fortunately I was able to bend it enough to straighten the curler. We actually received an email from Ipsy asking if we had received an unaligned curler so that it could be replaced.

So my assumption is that this curler is usually not that great since it bends easily, which could also mean hat it breaks easily too. I wouldn't recommend this curler because of that and because it is pricey.

4) City Color Cosmetics Creamy Lip Stain $5

When I first saw this, I thought that I would hate it as much as I hate wearing lip glosses, but I was wrong. This lip stain is not as sticky as lip glosses. It starts out sticky but eventually dries to a beautiful pink lip stain.

5) BLUSH Cheek Powder Sample

http://www.modelcocosmetics.com/shop/cosmetics/face/face-bronzer-and-blush/blush-cheek-powder

6) FREE Eva NYC Hair Tamer (100 ml) $8

I got this additional product for free because I accumulated enough point to redeem a reward of my choice and I chose this hair cream for 500 points. I was able to get these points through reviews and other tasks on Ipsy.

Glam Bag Value : $63

Urban Outfitters Earrings and Asos Shoes

Outfit 

Earrings +Urban Outfitters 

Top -self made

Flats +ASOS 

Bag-  Ross

When I'm feeling really lazy, I usually wear my loose print pants because they almost feel like pajamas but look ten times more stylish. I really liked how my outfit came out despite my laziness. I think that it helps to dress up nicely to help you feel more energized and positive for the day. At least for me, it does make me feel better if I like what I'm wearing. It kind of gives me a feeling of hope for a good day. 

That is all I have dfor today, hope you have a nice day and always stay positive!

January 2015 Ipsy Makeup Subscription Box

1. Nourish Organic Renewing Eye Cream Sample

    I have been using this product and all I can say is that it does not irritate my eyes like other facial moisturizers. There is  no re freshening feeling but it does moisturize. It also does not have a strong scent and it does not feel heavy. I would recommend it to people with sensitive skin because it is light enough and does not include harsh chemicals for the skin around your eyes.

2. All Over Shadow Brush ($9.99)

   I love this brush because of the color and because of how soft it is. I would really recommend it if you like to apply your eyes shadow with a brush. I can't believe I finally got a make up tool!

3. Malin + Goetz Mojito Lip Balm ($12)

I love this lip balm because it is really easy to apply and very moisturizing. The tip is shaped like a lip gloss applicator and the balm itself is transparent but  has a thick texture almost like a lip gloss.

4. Bella Pierre Shimmer Powder ($14.99)

  Since I am not into loose powder eye shadows, I can't say that I love it. But looking at the price of it, satisfies me enough to feel that it was worth my $10 for Ipsy this month.

5. Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Powder Sample

  This is the product that everyone got in their Ipsy bag. Again, I do not have much to say because I have not used it and am not really attracted to using it.

Overall:

I think that this month's bag was really good because it was worth $36.98 (it costs $10 to subscribe!), and because I loved that they included a make up tool for the first time in my bag and because I really liked the lip balm and the eye moisturizer. I can't really complain about the bag itself either because it is really versatile and I love the colors of it!

Romwe American Flag Crop Top

Top: +Romwe 

Jacket +Forever 21 

Jeans : +Styles For Less 

Lipstick -MAC

 So for this outfit I chose to go with the American flag red color, and black to make it look tougher because I was feeling a little lazy that day and didn't want to give too much thought into my outfit. So I went with simple items that pulled off a great look.

I have to say that my jacket is awesome to style with almost anything, but the only downside is that it is not as warm as I would like it to be. But I am okay with that because I got it for a really low price last year. And for my crop I think that it is versatile and does not necessarily have to be a staple item for the 4th of July. I think that flag prints can be worn any time of the year. You just need to style it to your own taste.

For the makeup, I just have to say that Mac's lipsticks are good overall, but I would like them to be a little more stainless like the ones from Limecrime that stay on your lips and won't annoy you with random lip-stains. But appart from that, I like the color and how long they last.

I think that is all I have to say today, Hope you found this blog interesting or helpful. Sorry that I did not post last week, but am working on new posts for the future!

Asos Flats Review

Top +Choies 

Skirt +Charlotte Russe 

Shoes +ASOS 

Coat- Handmade by my grandma

I purchased these flats from Asos with a 30% discount. They arrived after about a week, and the box was a little open, but luckily nothing was missing.

I am a true size 6, but ordered a 7 because on their measuring charts. The size 6 is a little bit smaller than othershoe  stores, so I went with a bigger size. 

They fit me alright, not too lose nor too tight. But I think that a 6.5 would have been better for me. Sadly they do not handle half sizes. 

Either way thay are pretty comfortable and the soles are perfect for walking everywhere since the soles are quite rubbery and do not slip. 

If you are thinking about purchasing a pair of shoes from Asos, do not go by the number, but by the measurement in their shoe size chart. Measure your own feet to see which size is the best for you. 

I hope you found this review helpful. If you have any questions, suggestions, or anything to say, comment down below in the comments section. I would love te reply.

Forever 21 Blue Jacket Outfit

Jacket +Forever 21 

Top +Styles For Less 

Skort Japan

Tights +Forever 21 

What I love the most about the winter, is different jackets and coats you can wear because I love how cozy and fashionable they can be. 

For this outfit, I really loved the contrast between the white lace of the skort and the black tights. I also liked that I actually matched my outfit by wearing navy blue. 

The only disclaimer is that my hair is not always this nice. It's usually frizzy and dry, but I guess miracles happen. Lol. 

See you soon,

Sheinside Favorite Tribal Moto Jacket Outfit

Jacket +Sheinside StreetFashion 
Pants +Styles For Less 

This Tribal Sleeved Moto Jacket is one of my favorites because of how fashionable it is and because it is very warm and soft in the inside. I think I got this jacket last winter (2013) and I don't think I have seen it on Sheinside this winter, but I think they still have really similar jackets like this that have a really good quality and style.

For some reason, my past few lookbooks have involved blue colored pieces, maybe it's because I relate blue with cold weather? I don't know, but all I can say is that I love it!

Choies Plaid Trousers and Forever 21 Cardigan Outfit

Top: +Choies 
Cardigan: +Forever 21 
Pants: +Choies 

Personally, I love this outfit a lot because I love crop tops and high wasted pants. And I have to confess that I took inspiration from a Beauty blogger named Leanne Lim-Walker. I saw one of her pictures on Instagram (@leannelimwalker) and she was wearing these pants from Choies with a black belt and a bustier. 

I also have noticed that +Choies has been lowering its prices. It is probably because of all of the other competitors such as +Sheinside StreetFashion and +DressLily, who have almost the same clothing and accessory items, but sell them at a much cheaper price. And this is really good because we get to benefit from their competition. 

That is all I have to share for today, hope you found my blog inspiring and/or interesting. You will be seeing more of these kinds blogs in the future, but for the meantime, you can follow me through Instagram and Twitter @mayugirl1 with a ONE at the end!

November 2014 Ipsy Subscription Box Review

Ipsy is a makeup monthly subscription bag for $10. Every month Ipsy sends its subscribers a small makeup bag along with four to five full and sample products that match your preferences. These preferences are different for every person, since you have to complete a survey at the beginning of the process to personalize your Ipsy bags. For example you can choose to mark as favorites eye shadows and facial masks, while leaving off lipsticks and mascaras. Of course this does not mean that you will never get these products, but instead  Ipsy will try to provide you with the product you prefer and sometimes introduce you to products that you thought you would never like, but end up liking (like me).

Also after sending their monthly bags, Ipsy provides their subscribers with special discount coupons for the products of the month!

1. Pixie Dust Oil Roll On Perfume Oil (.29 oz.; $0) http://www.demeterfragrance.com/772733/products/Pixie-Dust.html

2. Elizabeth Mott you're so FINE Eyeliner (0.1 oz.; $17.99)

3. L.A. Colors Chunky Lip Pencil (0.095 oz.; $3.50)

4. Nicole by O.P.I. Nail Polish (0.5 fl. oz.; $5.99)

5. TEMPTU S/B Highlighter (0.1 fl. oz.; $0)

http://temptu.com/

Total Cost: $27.48

I really liked everything in this month's Ipsy. Especially the eyeliner because I was in need of one! And I really liked the smell of the roll on oil perfume, it was definitely a great first experience using this type of perfume. The highlighter and the nail polish are obviously really good, and last but not least, the lip pencil was just okay.

Oct. 2014 Ipsy Subscription Box Review

Ipsy is a $10 monthly subscription bag that sends its subscribers a small makeup bag along with four to five full and sample products that match their preferences. These preferences are defined by the completiom of a survey at the beginning of sign up at Ipsy.com. For example you can choose to mark as favorites eye shadows and facial masks, while leaving off lipsticks and mascaras. Of course this does not mean that you will never get these products, but instead  Ipsy will try to provide you with the product you prefer and sometimes introduce you to products that you thought you would never like, but may end up liking. 

Also after sending their monthly bags, Ipsy provides their subscribers with special discount coupons for the products of the month!

So these are the product that I got this month:

 Patagonia Body Butter Sample.

 This body butter smells really good. It's not strongly scented, but it has a relaxing smell that I personally like. It is really moisturizing and smooth. I would definitely consider purchasing when after I run out of it. 

Purifying Exfoliant Sample

I am not really excited about this because my face is really delicate and every time I try to do something on it, I just break out, but I may try it some time to see how my skin reacts to it. 

Mica Beauty Cosmetics Eye Sadow

I was not really excited about this eye shadow at the beginning because I couldn't see myself using it. But then I discovered how multi purpose this shadow is. It could be used as an eyeliner or lipgloss if you mix it with water or vaseline. I am not sure how that works yet, but I'm definitely very curious to try!

i-Envy by Kiss Lashes

This is the only thing I was really really excited and grateful for because my lashes are done for and I really needed new ones. Also, I needed a new eye lash glue because my old one had dried out because I forgot to put the cap on... Oops!

Starlooks Lipsgloss Sample

I hate lipglosses, so I'm glad that I only got a teeny sample of this. I just don't like the sticky feeling on my lips. But the pink is a really nice natural color. 

The veredict of this month's Ipsy bag is...

Ehh Okay

I received around $18 worth of products for my $10. So it was not that impressive this month. And I also received products that I do not like. So I'm not really happy. 

Sincerely,

Mayu Girl

Sept. 2014 - Ipsy Subscription Box Review

Also after sending their monthly bags, Ipsy provides their subscribers with special discount coupons for the products of the month!

So in the following images, I will show you each product I have, along with its retail price, and calculated price (if the product I received was sample sized).

I loved the color of the lipstick and how smoothly it can be applied. It is not a really pigment, which perfect for those people who don't like bold lips.
 This nail polish is the bomb. It dries pretty quickly and it doesn't smell like nail polish usually smell like. And the color is gorgeous. In love!

Overall I LOVE this month's Ipsy bag. I couldn't have been more satisfied with what I got. Everything is good quality and goes beautifully with my skin. The price that this bag would have cost me is around $50. I can't beleive how much I got with only $10. I truly recommend you to try this monthly subscription because you will not regret it!

Beautiful eye shadow, I loved it!

So overall, the bag I received for the month of August was pretty good. It has the value of around 30 dlls, compared to the $10 I had to pay. I say it was totally worth the try, and I think that you should definitely give it a try. Besides, if you don't like it, you can cancel your subscription, or 'pause' it so that you don't have to get it each month.

Oasap Review

 This is the first time that I have ever made a purchase at +OASAP and I was a little bit disappointed because of the material of the clothes. It is not a soft and comfortable material as clothes on +Choies that are really high quality. I think that the obvious reason is the pricing. While +OASAP has lower quality on the fabric of their clothing than +Choies , it is definitely a lot more cheaper in price. I was really satisfied with the fact that I could get this amazing shirt that I am wearing in the picture, I truly loved it and I think it was definitely worth its price, although it could have a better fabric.

 

I am also pleased witht he fact that +OASAP actually uploaded my picture to their website. If you would like to see I will provide you the link down bellow:

http://www.oasap.com/t-shirts-vests/39158-cat-patchwork-plaid-blouse.html

It is in the bottom left of the page and you just have to click on the right arrow where a video is being displayed and wait for a few seconds for the picture to load!

 

Overall I think that Oasap.com is a good place to purchase casual clothing that is not pricey for your wallet. They were pretty quick in their delivery and you get benefits from buying from them such as points that can be used for your next purchase and discount coupons. I do not think that it's a great place to buy clothing that will have a lot of use because of the quality of the fabric, which I believe would not as last that long. I would recommend sites such as +Choies,@chicwish and +Sheinside StreetFashion (these are my favorites) that are similar to Oasap, but do deliver clothing that will have longer wear

No Breakout Make Up

From left to right: 

- Physicians Formula Natural Look Kit (Foundation, bronzer, and blush)

- Almay Clear Complexion Foundation 300

- Physicians Formula Black Organic Mascara

- Revlon Water Proof Black Eyeliner

- Almay Smart Shade Coral Blush

I think I have finally found the best foundation make up for my face that doesn't clog my pores and make me break out. 

I use both the powder and the liquid foundation and they do not feel heavy nor cakey at all. It looks really natural and feels good on my skin. I definitely recommend it if you've had problems with breaking out or if you just want to prevent acne break outs from wearing make up on your face.

Gelish Nails?

For the first time ever, a good friend of mine did my nails with her +Gelish kit. It was really interesting for me because I had never seen such long process to apply any kind of nail polish, but it was definitely worth it. I don't know the steps required, nor the different types of things needed, but just broadly I can say that she applied a transparent coat, then the color coat, and finally another protective coat. In between each color coat, I had to put my hand below a blue light for the paint to dry on my nails. They came out really shiny and were long lasting compared to regular nail polish.
I only know that +Gelish is like a hybrid between regular nail polish and acrylic nails because of the thick smooth feeling. I hope you find this helpful, thank you for reading, and finally if you would like, please follow:

My Favorite Nail Polish

 

I do not feel like writing today. I think this is self explanatory.

You Will Never Be Lovelier Than You Are Now

We all have those rough days where we feel that we want to give up and break apart. Why do we have to suffer so much? Why do we have to feel like everything is over for us? Why do we have to go through so much? 

We have those days to open our eyes, to wake us up from the thought that everything will last forever. To remind us that what we have; whatever makes us happy, isn't going to be there forever. They are there to remind us that we have to appreciate every second of our lives; including people, nature and ourselves. 

Sometimes people forget that this life is borrowed. We don't have the luxury to live forever. But we do have the luxury to treasure all those memories, smile and know that they will stay in your heart and know that you can be happy again. Because that's the point of living.

 

Seek to be happy each and every day, appreciate those little things, and know that you can be happy, because happiness is a choice after all.

 

"The gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again."

- Achilles from the movie Troy.
