What would you like to see more of?

I just added a poll to the top of my sidebar.  If you have time, I'd be most appreciative if you could fill it out for me.  :)  I want to focus on making the blog better this summer, and part of that means listening to you and posting what you want to see.
I added four answers and then "other" to choose from- if you select "other", please just comment on this post or any other and let me know what it is you have in mind.

Question: Makeup for My Birthday?

Hey guys, I apologize for not having a new makeup-related post up this morning, but I do have a question for you all.  I've been in a bit of a makeup rut the last week or so.  I just don't know what kinds of looks to do lately, so I end up either pairing random colors together or using purples which, for me, is nothing different.
My birthday is this Saturday and I want to do something pretty but put-together.  That doesn't sound too hard, I know, but seeing how I've been lately it could be a challenge!  If you guys have any EOTDs, LOTDs, tutorials, or anything on a makeup look you'd recommend, please let me know.
Thanks so much!

Coastal Scents Brushes: Thoughts?

I'd love to hear any advice/thoughts you have on Coastal Scents' line of brushes.  I've done a lot of researching on youtube and various blogs recently, and so far they seem to be pretty decent (Especially for the low price tag).  These are the brushes that are in my "cart":

All photos from coastalscents.com

Small pencil crease black/silver

I've been wanting a pencil crease brush for the longest time.  I thought my Sonia Kashuk crease brush was it, but after washing it, it's just not pointed enough.

Synthetic deluxe crease brush

I have my MAC 224 crease brush already, but this one looks shorter and more compact.  I'm hoping it will blend faster than my 224.

White angled liner brush

MakeupbyTiffanyD on youtube recommended this one for making that perfect line with eyeliner.

Silver duo fiber stippling brush

I want a duo fiber stippling brush so badly for that "airbrush" effect!

Synthetic angle blush and define brush

I wanted one I saw on youtube reviews that was an 'italian badger angle blush brush', but couldn't find it on Coastal Scents.  This one got decent reviews on the webpage.

Pink kabuki brush

I read positive reviews on this one, too- that it's super soft and fluffy.  And pink!

These all together come to only about $30, but I'm still hesitant to place my order.  So if you have any recommendations on other brushes I should get, or ones I've listed here that I shouldn't get, please do let me know!  Thanks so much.  

NOTD: 10 Nail Lacquer Spring Awakening

This is possibly my most favorite nail polish right now, and I'm not even saying that because I received it as a gift.  The other light purple I have in my collection is one from The Icing, and it's lighter than this and is muted.  This isn't too "bright and bold", but it's definitely not muted.  Spring Awakening is a gorgeous purple creme with blue undertones (I apologize for not being better at describing nail polishes- it's a weakness of mine).

10 Professional Nail Lacquer is a fairly new line that is sold exclusively at CVS stores.  I think they are considered a "higher, more professional quality" line compared to another new brand of nail polishes only at CVS, Confetti.  10 Professional Nail Lacquer retails for $3.99 a bottle, and Confetti for $1.99.

The application of this color was great.  I haven't tried any of the others since I don't have a CVS within range, so I can't speak for the rest of the line.  However, if you can access these, I'd recommend this shade for an affordable, beautiful nail polish!

Speaking of CVS, I'm so so excited to go to Chicago (I've mentioned it before I think but I'm starting school at Columbia College this fall).  There is a CVS within walking distance from me, I'm pretty sure! I did a store search and there are several in Chicago, and the one I'm thinking of in particular should be just down the street and around the corner from where my school is located.  Awesome!

(LOL, who ever thought someone would be so excited to go to a CVS?)

I'm also happy to be near a MAC counter, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, etc etc etc.  One thing I dislike about living in the Midwest is the lack of available shopping.  If it's not in the town you live in, it's probably not within a couple hundred miles.  I grew up and spent most of my life in California (We just moved out here a couple of years ago), so I'm really not used to "towns"!

Anyway, sorry about the rant.  I do have a question for anyone who can answer.  I've been meaning to use this Neutrogena $3.00 off coupon I have, and I'm interested in either the Healthy Skin Enhancer tinted moisturizer, or the Healthy Skin Glow Sheers.  

Has anyone used either of these?  Would you recommend one or the other, or should I skip both?  

Thanks so much!  Hope you all had a great weekend.

Question: Foundation/Tinted Moisturizer

What is a good, light drugstore foundation?
Preferably under $10.  I really don't like wearing foundation like I mentioned in my previous post, but I need more coverage since I'm suffering from some acne scarring.  If you have recommendations of good tinted moisturizers that aren't super super sheer, I'd love to hear those too!
I really want to try:
Wet 'n' Wild Intuitive Blend Shade-Adjusting Foundation/Primer (Or WnW Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer- I heard it's a thicker TM),
Revlon Colorstay Active Foundation, 
Jane Sheer Skin Perfecting Foundation (Or Jane Nearly Foundation Tinted Moisturizer- I read it's good for those of us with pinker undertones),
Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Foundation (Or Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer),

Thanks for your input, all.  :)

hiusongelmia

Vihdoinkin pääsin koulusta! Vaihdoin aika kiiresti bikinit päälle ja tulin terassille ottamaan aurinkoa kone mukanani. Otin pari hehkeetä kuvaa webillä ihan muutama minuutti sit :D




Kesä♥ Tosin muistin taas miks en ikinä ota aurinkoa kotona. Täällä on niin pirusti kaikenlaisia ötököitä, kun tossa on tota metsää vieressä! Äskenkin sain sätkyn, kun jättimäiskokoinen kimalainen tuli surraamaan mun naaman eteen. Ja muurahaisia vaan kuhisee jaloissa. Kohta jostakin varmaan hyppää vielä tarantella niskaan.. Plus mun tietokoneen näyttö tulee koko ajan täyteen siitepölyä :D Onneks en oo allerginen sille..

Kuitenkin, kuten jo aiemmin kirjoitin mulla on kauheet kriisit mun hiusten kanssa tällä hetkellä! Mulla olis eri vaihtoehtoa millaiset hiukset haluaisin, auttakaa mua päättämään.

1. Ruskeat/tummanruskeat hiukset ilman etuhiuksia

Tää on ollut mun hiusihanteena jo pitkään, mutta mun mielestä se toimii parhaiten vaan tosi pitkissä hiuksissa. Se onkin se ongelma nyt, kun mun hiukset on nyt lyhyemmät kuin aiemmin. Mut uudistusta olisi siis se, että värjäisin tummemmalla ruskealla. Ei kuitenkaan mustalla, kuten vaikka Barbie Xulla tossa kuvassa, sillä en usko, että musta sopii mulle kun mun iho on ihan liian vaalea.

2. Ruskeet hiukset, joihin vaaleampia raitoja ja etuhiukset

Niissä olis inspiraation Kumickeyn hiukset, vaikka noi ei ihan väriltä oo ehkä sitä mitä meinaisin, mutta suurin piirtein. Ja sitten laittaisin hiukset just tällä tavalla.

3. Vai pidänkö samanvärisenä ruskeena kuin nyt on, mutta leikkaan etuhiukset? Jolloin mun hiukset oli suunnilleen sellaiset kuin viime kesänäkin.

4. Tai jatkanko vaan lisäkkeiden kanssa ja pidän ihan samanlaiset hiukset kuin ennenkin?

Tällä hetkellä ehkä ite oon eniten kallistumassa tuohon kakkosvaihtoehtoon, sillä mun omien hiuksien pituus ei riitä siihen, että tuo ykkösvaihtoehto näyttäis hyvälle. Mutta kertokaa mielipiteenne mitä kannattais teidän mielestä tehdä!

Nyt meen laittamaan ruokaa~


4minute's new music video♥ One of my favourite bands!

Translation: Right now I'm sunbathing outside on our terrace with my laptop! All kind of bugs are bullying me.. I hate them a lot. Well, I'm having a big crisis with my hair. What should I do?
1. Dye my hair with darker brown and keep my hair without bangs
2. Dye some lighter strips and cut bangs so my hair would remind hair of Kumickey
3. Keep my current hair colour but cut bangs
4. Still use my dead extensions and have same hair as before
Help me to choice! For a long time my ideal hair has been the choice number one. But I think it looks good only with super long hair and now my hair isn't that long anymore. At the moment I think the 2nd choice would be the best. What do you think?

♡new items⌒♡+ﾟ

HELLO!+｡:.ﾟ(〃∇〃)*+☆
a photo of my new items was so horrible so i decided to show the items better in new entry～(´∀｀)ﾉ


baseball jacket style hoodie （*^ ω ^*）i really have only few hoodies and they are useful at this season when it's so cold.. so that's why i bought it ! (*゜∀゜*)


hoodie from back （◎ゝ∀・）ﾉ


ugg style winter boots (・∀・) i already had two pair of them: brown and pink. i wanted to have also sand brown ones because they fit better with many clothes (=゜ω゜)ノ


legwarmers with cute pom-poms (^з^)! i'll use them with onepiece and stockings at winter. not with jeans like in photo...


i'm going through exam week at the moment and it makes me so tired and stressed ヽ(*｀Д´)ノ this is how i relieve my distress; mint domino cookies ! (*´▽｀*)ノ゛♥ but i'm already going to win! 3 exams passed, 2 still left~

゜。☆゜* QUESTION FOR YOU AGAIN *゜☆。゜
would you prefer a layout with lighter colours? like pink, light pink and white together?

or is this layout with strong colours hot pink and black OK? (°▽ °;)

♡so much randomness⌒♡+ﾟ

this entry will be just little random things (￣▽￣；) i hate doing entries like this 'cause they look messy.. but anyway~

1. i have never thought nails with lots of stuff like diamonds and other parts are inconvenient.. and i have wondered why ppl are always like 'how you can do anything with those nails???!!!!'

but seriously i think this nails must be quite inconvenient (◎o◎)! look at that HUGE heart diamond.. and the key...

..and the big hairy pompom thing (*゜д゜*)! srsly how she can do anything with that XD

really inconvenient but i still think it's very very cute O(≧∇≦)o ~♥ haha

nails are Koakuma Ageha's model's~

2. last weekend it snowed a lot here ! ヾ(＠⌒▽⌒＠)ノ♥ this is the view from my window~(>ω<*) but now almost all had melted~

my school ＼(^O^)／ btw, my weekend wa very boring.. Tung should have come here but he got ill (;_;)

3. i have become pretty good at making vietnamese food yay~ (´ω｀*) this is one of my favs, fried beef and cabbage ヽ(^◇^*)/ if you know some good vietnam food recipes pls send me 8D~

i also have some questions for you..

4. i tried putting my hair like this, bangs off~

look older than usually? +ﾟ(*′▽｀）ﾟ+.

what do you think? is this hairstyle better than with bangs? cute little girl or mature look? （≧ω≦）

5. a question about make-up~ tell me which one looks better on me, number 1 or 2? the difference is that 1st have eyeliner on the bottom, 2nd have only brown eyeshadow. i think 1st makes eye look bigger, but 2nd makes bottom lashes look more longer (･ω･)

with flash~

6. last question.. which entries you prefer a) entries of me, happenings in life, my style etc.. or b) entries of brands, models, cute and fashionable things~ ? and should i make more 'short' entries which may be little useless or long entries with lot of things like this?

baibai (=゜ω゜)ノ
