Marceline Closet Cosplay

Hi Hi,

Sorry It's been a while but I will now try and catch up on everything that has happened in the last few week. I've been so unorganised and an emotional mess so I really want to get my shit together. 

Here is a closet cosplay I did as soon as I finished my final exam! Marceline the Vampire Queen is one of my favourite characters from Adventure time! 

I ended up using photoshop to edit my skin gray which is cheating but oh well. I had fun doing this mini shoot of Marceline which I will hopefully do properly in the future 

Thanks for looking!

Prom 2014

Hi Hi,

So I recently had my prom and I ended up not having time to make the get ready with me video on youtube. The day was just too busy and I still have 3 exams to study for. 

The thing I was most excited about was this palette from urban decay! It was $54 from Sephora and I usually don't splurge on make up but I wanted something I could use for every occasion and I wanted something that would last me a long time (especially through uni).

It came with samples of each of the primer potions and OMG it makes such a difference to use the potions first before applying the eyeshadow. It's smart on their part but I'm annoyed that I didn't get a full size with this palette like the other ones but oh well. I will buy it once the samples run out!

I really recommend getting this palette for people who want more wearable eyeshadow. I think there's enough variety to create both glamorous and everyday looks! The brush is great and I love the packaging. I would say the downside is the price and the lack of primer potion but I feel like it was worth it. I'm still looking at getting the electric palette which would be more for cosplay then everyday looks!

Swatches of my favourite colours 

Hanna has been doing my hair since we moved to Abu Dhabi and she always does an amazing job! Unfortunately we were running late so I didn't have time for her to really style the curls! I ended up having to do it myself but I think it came out okay though. 

My friends and I went to Emirates Palace first to take picture! 

 We were actually a bit unlucky because the driver of the hummer got the wrong information and was driving us to a completely different place rather than Shangri La. We only noticed when he stopped at a gas station to go to the toilet. We were really confused as to why he would stop when we were already running late. When I asked him what he was doing he was like "I'm just driving around for 2 hours on Yas Island" I was so mad because even after I told him we were supposed to go to Shang he was still arguing with me! 

But once we got there it was all good! The food was nice and they had an awesome photo-booth (though it was only there 1 hour which sucked) We got to take photos of all our class members and teachers which was fun and there was dancing too. 

That was my experience with senior prom!

Drawing a friend *u* and watching J-drama

Hi Hi, 

Today I mostly studied so it was pretty boring!

But I did do a drawing of my friend Nour for her 18th birthday (which was ages ago but I was away when she had her party so I didn't have the chance to give it to her yet) I will be giving it to her before prom though.

 I'm happy that it looks like her though it's not a 100% likeness because I kept changing the drawing whilst I was painting and ended up with a lot of differences. It's close enough that most people will recognise her. 

*details* I completed it in 2 hours and I was aiming for a bit of manga realism but it ended up more on the realism side...

I use water colour paint and pencils and OMG I love these pencils from Faber-Castell!

They are amazing in every way! Definitely worth the cost because you can use them as both colouring pencil and water colour medium. 

Its the medium size set :D Pretty rainbow!!!

J-Drama Review time!

I usually don't watch Japanese dramas (Strangely I prefer Korean tv) but thanks to Stella Lee I started watching Rebound!!!

 All I can say is that I LOVE this show and I've only watched 2 episodes!!!! (I'm limiting myself to 1 or 2 a day because studying....) lol but anyway it's unbelievably relatable (I mean it's about dieting so what's there not to relate to) and it gives you a kind of perspective about weight issues in Japan and their attitudes towards it. I'm obsessed with the main character (she's so loveable and sweet and I want to just hug her)! So I deemed my 1 hour of exercise time, Rebound time too to kill 2 birds with one stone and motivate myself. 

So far I highly recommend it :D (Still have 8 episodes to go!) 

Sorry for the boring post but like I said I didn't do much today. Looking forward to the prom and getting 1 of my exams out of the way in the next 2 weeks.  Might do some sewing in my break this week but I doubt it.

I will also be making a post on my Naked 3 urban decay palette which I got from Sephora recently :D

Ja ne! 

New hair do *u*

Hi Hi,

I went to get my hair unbraided and straightened today! I've had braids for the majority of the year and I was looking forward to seeing how much my hair had grown since I last had it straightened. 

*Before*

*during* Dayum look at that afro XD

*after* 

Super happy with the outcome! It was longer than I expected so I was really excited to try out some hair accessories. 

I love looking at hair styles from Japanese street fashion and I tried to get some inspiration! Here are some images that helped me decide what hairstyle I wanted.

I also had a quick flick through my Zipper Hair Book to get some more inspiration for ways to tie up my hair! 

I am also looking forward to picking a hairstyle for prom (*0*) 

What is your favourite hairstyle? I wish I had longer hair to do more elaborate hair styles but there's been considerable growth so I'm pleased!

Prom (graduation ball) Purchases!! ^u^

Hi Hi,

I wanted to share the items that I bought for my leaver's Ball which is basically the last party the 6th form get before we go off to our doom...aka exams XD 

Anyway, I started off by looking high and low for a dress. I went with my best friends the first time but we were really just messing around, seeing as we didn't have money to really buy anything at the time.

I was trying to find a red dress but i wasn't trying to be too picky because i just wanted to try on a bunch of different dresses....

I loved this dress but it was $500 and I was like helll nooooo! 

In the end I went for the cheapest dress but very pretty XD

So the dress I ended up buying was from Lipsy and it was about $110 which I was really happy about! 

I fell in love with the colour <3

Details *0*

Then I bought my shoes yesterday which were an absolute steal!

Besty Johnsons on super sale! I paid $40 with about %60 price reduction 

Super happy with this purchase though I was a bit suspicious about getting them for such a low price. I did some checking up online just to make sure they weren't fake! Actually they are 1/2 a size to big for me but I loved them so much I still got them, and they were the last pair in the Steve Madden store! 

I also bought this necklace from I am, I just wanted to add some more bling to the look because my dress is a bit on the plain side XD

I will be posting my get ready with me prom look on youtube once I do it! I will also do a room tour video and a what's in my bag video before I leave to move back to Australia!
