Ridiculous Amount of Pictures... and Lacome's Berry Bold Review!

Hi there! It's been a while~ How is everyone? (: I've been so busy with school since, and I work 5 days a week... so I have no time off...

My birthday was May 10th, so I am 22 now... |||orz I'll have to make a small birthday post later! (:

Anyways... when you guys are trying your best to look nice, how much makeup do you wear? This is usually what I use when I have time and try to look my best!



Normal days are usually just circle lenses, and mascara. Sometimes I'll put on blush or a little eyeliner under my top waterline.

Also.... preview of what is to come... it's gonna be a massive post, lol. (:

~Christine's Features~

I was featured on Sayoko's blog Aristocratic Rose a while ago... I just found the post through my LJ messages a while ago... you can look here if you'd like! (:

A while ago, I was also in an interview about lolita fashion for a Chinese news channel at PMX. :3

LANCÔME's Berry Bold Juicy Tube Lipgloss

So I have to say that I absolutely adore this lipgloss! It is easily one of my favorites!

You can find it here!

Color: 5/5 

So ridiculously vibrant and pretty! You only need one layer to see a tremendous impact!

Glossy Effect: 5/5

You seriously cannot ask for more! I had a few guys mention how red and shiny my lips were lol. (:

Staying Power: 3/5 

Like most glosses... you're gonna have to reapply pretty often if you eat and do normal stuff...

Fragrance: 5/5

Smells so pretty!! People ask me what perfume I'm wearing, ahha. Kinda strong, so those who are sensitive... you may want to try a sample first! I really have always liked Lancome's glosses though. (:

Smoothness: 5/5

Goes on smoothly and doesn't really become sticky unless your lips get really dry...This neither really hydrates nor dehydrates you lips. I feel like it's really just on top of your lips... so if you have moisturized lips and put on chapstick before... it's great!

 

Swatch. 

   

Before~ 

   

After!

Pretty amazing, and gorgeous effect... right?! :D For $18... it's pretty worth it!! I love love love it!

Tsubasa Changed her Hair Color~~

From her official blog: http://ameblo.jp/ameblo-tsubasa

Before~

After!

What do you think? I always liked her with light hair better!!! She's gorgeous either way though! 

Tama chan and I went to Gaja in Torrance~
 
It's known for being an okonomiyaki place. :3 Here's Tama chan expertly flipping over his okonomiyaki~

 

See how neat mine is (left) compared to Tama chan's (right)... XD It was soooooooo yummy and fun!!! It was my first time having okonomiyaki~ I was pretty excited. (: But I was sooo impatient because it smelled so yummy! I can't wait to come back to try the monjayaki though! (´･ω･`)

 
I didn't finish all of mine so I gave it to Tama chan... and joked that it didn't have enough mayo for his liking... so he put on a ton more and ate it... ^^;;;

 

I don't know why the picture turned out pink... but okay, lol... this wasn't a good parfait. The cream puffs and eclairs were still frozen on the inside and tasted like freezer burn...

I also went to Vien Dong on Brookhurst with a few friends from school and later went back with Tama chan and Cynthia~

 
There aren't many places with bun rieu and this place had some pretty good stuff!! Their bun bo hue was also good too... but obviously I prefer my mom's~ It does comfort me when I'm home sick though. ^^ Would definitely recommend this place to my friends!

 Then we went to Tebo Tebo Tea Lounge after... both times! C: I really like this place too! It's always really packed though and is pretty family friendly! Their drinks are great too! :D

 
Moonlight mango~

 
Yuuta kun acting like an aho. ;p

 
The Jazzcat brick toast! I like their toppings a lot!! It's really fun, creative, well-decorated, and yummy... but the toast is a little dry... but overall, I would get it again. (:

 
Jolly Ranger~ Love it!!

My favorite drink has to be the Sticky Mess though... since it's an avocado shake with condensed milk!! Very popular amongst Vietnamese and Filipinos I think! (: They were pretty popular when I worked at Goldilocks anyways.

 
Tokyo Table's brick toast!! Super soft, flavorful... and delicious!! I love the taste of honey!! Their toast is just the perfect texture~ I went with Lizzie and forgot to take a picture of the rest of our food... fail. DX

Present from Tama chan~ Crunky, Strawberry version~Different texture from the "Crunch" bar in the U.S. because it's pretty soft and malleable!

 Tiffy from HimeStyle made some cookies for me and Kelly~
 
She's an amazing baker!! ^^ She mixed white, milk, and dark chocolate chips to give it a very unique taste that was so out of this world~

Presents from Chris~

I lost my Chocomint gold star at ALA... ): So Chris got me another star to replace it! It's so cute!! ^^ I wish I knew who made it so I could give her credit! It's adorable and has a lot of details. :3

Chris also got me a Chess Chocolate bag!!! It's the one I wanted!! (:

What could this be? :O
 

!!!

 The Chess Chocolate Bracelet that I wanted! :O

 
(: Also shoes. The very last thing to complete my Chess Chocolate outfit for the meet this weekend!! <3 I can't wait! (:

Lol, Chris just really wants me to wear lolita badly~~~ Ahhhh, can't wait for the meet this weekend! <3

My co-workers went to Japan so they brought us back stuff! (:

Yuki san didn't have time to do much since he had a lot of things to do in Japan so he told his son to go buy Kelly (from Himestyle, I think we all know that I work with her at Misasa now lol) and me stuff from Disney, lol.

(: Cute watch with Minnie on it!! <3

Kelly and I both got an adorable Minnie coin purse too! :3


Look! It has a tail! ;3; So cute!

From Manny~

Candy Doll lipglosses!!! I got the new Juicy Cherry, and Milky Orange! I haven't tried the Juicy Cherry yet... but definitely some stuff to review. (: It'll be summer soon, so I am hoping to be able to do a lot of reviews! ^^


A cute Liz Lisa notepad!!! I don't want to open and use it!! Too cute!!


What's inside?


   

Pretty Liz Lisa hair pins!!! ^^ Uwaaaa, I was so happy to get this! (: I love hair clips, but I'm terrified of losing them lol.

Other things I got or Bought~

Bags from my lover, Jelly Bean~ Or Kelly, lol.


Cetaphil facial cleanser... :/
I heard great things about it from a lot of people, but it really dries out my face, so I only use it once a day now... :/ I may just stop using it all together since my acne has acted up a ton since I have been using it.


I was using the Tsubaki Damage Care shampoo and conditioner preemptively since I planned on dying my hair soon! Even though my hair has been pretty healthy and soft... it got even SOFTER! And it smells amazing! I love this! (:


I have really horrible blackheads so I decided to try the Pore Peeling Tsururi... D: I have tried it 3 times now, and it doesn't really do anything for me at all except for maybe temporarily lightening my nose for a few hours (lolwat?)...


Since using Cetaphil, my face has become really dry and flakey so I've been trying out face masks. (:


From Chu san~ :3 It's a pen with a lot of colors!! It's so cute!! (:


And my momma knows how much I love Dolly Wink and fake lashes so she bought me the new #10 Sweet Cat to try!... (she also bought it for me again later, lol, so I have 2, but I really want to try #9 Natural Dolly!)


From the boyfriend! (: He knows I snack a lot, lol. Probably why I gained 15 lbs. ;___;


SUPER cute Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma charms! They light up... so cute, huh? ^^ Yuuta says when Rilakkuma lights it, it looks like he's a god or, in kenja mode (wiseman mode), lol....


Daiso opened up in Irvine right by Irvine Mitsuwa so I have been going there a lot since most things are only $1.50 and super cute! :3
A cute bento, a mirror, and pocky from Daiso from Yuuta kun! <3

I should hurry and get back to making bentos. ^^

 
I also bought a lash case from Daiso since my little Dolly Wink one doesn't keep it organized. It's a lot more light pink in person, but it looks lavender from the bad lighting in my place. XD I will take a picture of the inside because it's really nice! :3

And... wow... that was so long and wordy!!! Thanks for sticking with me and looking! ^^ See you guys again soon~~~!!! Hopefully in full throttle because summer is coming soon!
