No Breakout Make Up

- 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. 

Love, MayuGirl

Pike's Peak Restaurant Review

ties, arizona, phoenix, restaurant, food, ties, roof ties, pikes peak
(If you enter this restaurant wearing a tie tie, they will cut it and hang it on the roof of the restaurant!)
 
This Pike's Peak Restaurant was pretty interesting because if its rustic feeling and décor. It is really unique and memorable. I was impressed by the amount of ties that have been cut; they cover the whole roof and there are so many different types of ties, from ugly and old to really elegant and new.
 
So I had a steak salad for lunch because I thought that everything on the menu that was not a salad was kind of heavy for my appetite. I thought that the meat was okay, but what I really enjoyed was the cheese on it. I think it is called blue cheese, I am not sure. I just know the I really liked it. 

The place overall was really rustic and interestig. Definitely a place to visit. The only thing I didn't like was that our table wiggled and that there were a lot of flies flying around (ugh!)

Divergent Movie Review

Kate Winslet, Divergent, Divergent Movie, Wnslet, triology, Shailene Woodley, Shailene, Woodley, Theo James, Zoë Kravitz, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q, Mekhi Phifer, Jai Courtney, Miles Teller,
 
 
 Although the setting of the movie was quite similar to The Hunger Games, I thought that Divergent was an overall interesting and fun movie to watch (specially Theo James who plays the role of Four <3 lol ) I like the fact that in some parts it confuses you between whether it's the characters' mind or reality. I also like the combination between action and romance without making it too much of a chick flick.
The part that I thought was really bad, was the ending, I thought that the movie was building up to  a strong ending, but honestly it ended abruptly and everyone was suddenly saved without much  complexity to it. It was basically pretty simple and disappointing.
The only reason I would watch it again is to watch Theo and maybe some others too haha.
 
Overall I would give this movie a 4 out of five
 
I hope you find this short review helpful,
Love Mayu Girl

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:

Choose the Best Prom Dress For You!

prom, macy's, long dress, prom dress, formal dress, juniors dress, dance, dress, tips, fashion, mayugirl, mayu girl, diy, jcpenney, jcp, prom girl, chic, lookbook, how to, fashion guru, make up

1. COLOR

a) Compliment your skin tone:

• If you have light skin: go for silver, violet, ivory, aqua, or peach. 
• If you have medium skin: go for purple, pink, red, navy, or green. 
• If you have dark skin: go for turquoise, orange, blue, fuchsia, golden, or forest. 

b) It has to be different from your hair color (if you plan on having your hair down it will look too much of the same color) 

2. LENGTH

•If you are short: go for long dresses that will give the illusion of longer legs. 
•If you are tall: go for high low dresses that will compliment your height.

3. DECOR

• Small back or shoulders: choose decor on the straps, back, or shoulders. 
Wide back or shoulders: choose decor at the waist or bottom to give a proportionate look. 
Small bust: Decor on top. 
Large bust: Decor at waist or bottom. 

4. STRAPS!
If you ar planning on wearing a strapless dress, make shure that it doesnt slide down by jumping and walking around the dressing room. 

5. COMFORT
Pick a dress that best suits your body, that you like, and that you feel most comfortable in because all these aspects will affect your confidence level. 

I hope that you find these tips helpful. The most important thing is that you enjoy youself and choose something that you really like, and feel beautiful and confident in!

Thank you for reading! With much live, MayuGirl

Choies' Clothing Review

 
choies, fashion, mayu girl, lookbook, charlotte russe, forever 21
In case you have never heard of Choies, Choies is an online clothing shop that has a wide variety of things for sale that are unique and fashionable. It is one of my favorite websites to purchase clothes from because the sizes are pretty much petit because of the fact that it is designed for Asian people.

It is interesting to read some of the reviews because there are a lot of complaints about how short the dresses are and that they are not dresses, but rather peplum style top. I totally disagree with them because for me, they are the perfect length. And I also can't understand why would those people decide to purchase those clothes if the measurements are posted right below in a description box of each item!

In other news... I wanted to recognize that @Choies has the best crop tops ever. As I mentioned before, they have really unique designs and they are really well priced. Plus, there's always free shipping and you even get points for purchasing items (Those points count as discounts for future purchases). And if you're a first time buyer, you could even get $15 dollars discounted from your purchase.

For my first purchase, I bought some cool round sunglasses that were $5, so I basically got them for free. Teehee...

Lunch at Outback Steakhouse


Simply Grilled Mahi

Ahi with Vegetable and Rice Sides

I went to the Outback Steakhouse restaurant today, and I was really satisfied with their service, regardless of the fact that the house was packed. The food was really good and satisfying. I really liked that their menu is really varied and that the portions are the perfect size for one person. It also has several dishes under 600 calories for people who want a healthier meal. 

Just because it's called Steak House, doesn't mean that they only serve stake. They have fish, chicken, soups and salads; like any other restaurant. But let me just say, that their steak is amazing (or maybe it's the fact that meat is my favorite kind of protein, I don't know)

Overall, it is a great place to indulge your meat cravings, while having a healthy portion of protein accompanied by veggies and rice. 

Thank you for reading!
 Love MayuGirl.
