Mi maquillaje al pasar las semanas ✿ Few weeks of make-up

Bueno, mi agenda está más poblada que nunca. Hasta ahora no me pude ni sentar a escribir en el blog. Pero como ya no hace bien tenerlo tan abandonado, por lo menos les quiero mostrar el make-up de los eventos que tanto me llenaron todos los huecos en mi planner (⊙_☉)

14 de Junio

Con la Hibiki Kim que también es la más kawaii del planeta. Nos vestimos para ver a Mr. Yan. SI, *EL* MR YAN. Todavía tengo que escribir sobre eso. Fue bizarro. Fin.

(」・ω・)」Make-up point (」・ω・)NO TIENE. HACER MAKE-UP RÁPIDO. LLEGAMOS TARDE OFGJSBDDS

Algún día de Junio (?)


(」・ω・)」Make-up point (」・ω・)
Wow. Maquillaje demasiado natural. ¿QUÉ ME PASA DIOS? Hacía rato que no me veía el rostro (?) 

19 de Junio
Salida con mi amiga Minu que festejaba su cumple.


(」・ω・)」Make-up point (」・ω・)
Algo cat-eye-ish pero que no se pase de la raya.

22 de Junio
Sesión de fotos para Rocking (Rocking Hollywood Fotografía). Maquillaje por Bárbara Rex. Ya verán los resultados, mwehehe. Por ahora, tengan la selfie:

 (」・ω・)」Make-up point (」・ω・)
El outfit que iba con este maquillaje era todo negro, así que el punto clave fue resaltar los ojos en algún color estridente. Bárbara se pasó con este smokey-eye en azul que hizo!

25 de Junio
Hice un maquillaje inspi'Elsa (de Frozen) en su versión coronación (es decir el atuendo y peinado que nadie asocia con Elsa)

 (」・ω・)」Make-up point (」・ω・)
LET IT GO, LET IT GOOO

1 de Julio
Con la Natalia Feliú genial total de la vida hicimos una sesión de fotos cuya temática es secreta (?) pero que va a quedar INCREÍBLE! Make-up por Cecilia.

 (」・ω・)」Make-up point (」・ω・)
Las gemas a lo Sailor Mercury, y las trenzas que llaman al combate.

9 de Julio
Me sentía algo creepy así que me clavé unos cuernitos y saqué fotos. Estrenando CLs nuevos! Wujú



 (」・ω・)」Make-up point (」・ω・)
La oscuridad en detalles sutiles, como la ropa, los cuernitos y los labios.

11 de Julio
Sesión con Cami Tapia. Selfie sacada durante la misma. La temática era romántica y vintage! Macarena  Garbocci se pasó con el maquillaje!!
 (」・ω・)」Make-up point (」・ω・)
Un cat-eye, maquillaje que casi parece que ni está ahí (a pesar de que sí lo está y muy bien hecho) + red lips para darle una onda Taylor Swift.

Espero luego de este desvergonzado spam de selfies tener updates de verdad para ustedes. Mis sentidas disculpas.

A new beginning

Hi!

If you usually visit the blog, you will notice a big, sad "RE-LOCATION" post now occupies what once was Kiwivanilla.

For whatever reason, I've changed names. It's not as dramatic as I make it sound, though. I took this opportunity to spiffy everything up with nicer graphics and a less-crumpled layout. Let me know what you think! <3 And please change your links to:


To commemorate this fresh start, here are some selfies from the other day. I was preparing a make-up tutorial, and of course took pictures.

By the way, if there are any video editing programs that you might recommend for a Mac user, please let me know! ( ´ ▽ ` )

OK, now I'll leave you alone with my face.








And of course, after all that fooling around with the Instax Mini 8 and using it as a photo prop, here is an actual picture taken with that camera!

Cat Ears and Actual Kittens | Orejas de Gato y Gatitos

Woah, slacking off blog duty again!

I'm really sorry you guys. All I have to update with are a few old-ish (month-old) pictures :c

I haven't been really going out except a few lunches with family. But that's about it. I have missed probably every event I ever wanted to go to this December ;_;

But as you know I will graduate by the end of the month. So yeah, go me. Go college. So much study. wow.

Wow, otra vez olvidándome del blog!

Mil perdones, gente. Lo único que tengo para actualizar son unas pocas selfies que ya tienen un mes :c


No estuve ni viendo la luz del sol, con la excepción de un par de salidas con mi familia. Pero eso fue todo. Me perdí de todos los eventos a los que quería ir en Diciembre ;_;


Pero bueno, como ya saben, voy a estar graduada para fin de mes. Vamos Abi. Vamos la facultad. Cuanto estudio. wow.



Last month I did a cute coordinate wearing these kitty ears. This is the product from Taobao in case you want to buy them! They come in a combination of gold or silver, pearls or little faux diamonds.

El mes paso armé un coordinado usando estas orejitas de gato. Acá está el link al producto de Taobao en caso de que quieran comprarlas! Vienen en una combinación de dorado o plateado, y perlas o diamantitos.




And because I was wearing cat ears, I grabbed my feline resident and included her in a picture!

Y como estaba usando orejitas de gato, invité a la felina presente a que salga en una foto!



Maggie (the cat) was adopted from a shelter by my boyfriend in June. And thus began the story of how I became a cat person.

She's an adorable calico with chimera-like markings. She eats a lot and meows in the morning.

Maggie (la gata) fue adoptada de un refugio local por mi novio en junio. Y de repente me pasé al bando gato.

Es una tricolor bellísima con rasgos como de quimera. Come como un cerdo y hace "miau" por la mañana.


She also knows exactly when I'm taking pictures of her. So she always looks dramatic.

It's amazing how much happiness this little kitty has brought us! Once we can settle down, move somewhere and know we can stay there, we'll adopt many more cats, I'm sure. They all deserve a chance to be loved and have a warm and happy home.

(so adopt, please don't buy)

I'm hearing Maggie stirring up trouble in the bedroom. So I better go check. I hope you can bear with me a little longer until I can blog freely again! c:

Thank you for all your lovely blog comments, and I will return them soon! ;_; promise!

Ella sabe exactamente cuándo le estoy sacando fotos. Siempre me pone caras dramáticas.

Es increíble toda la alegría que nos trajo esta kitten! Una vez que podamos mudarnos a algún lugar y saber que esa va a ser nuestra residencia permanente, vamos a adoptar muchos más gatitos, seguro. Todos merecen una oportunidad para recibir amor y tener un hogar calentito y feliz.


(así que adopten, no compren)


Ya la escucho a Maggie rompiendo cosas en el dormitorio, así que mejor me voy a fijar. Espero que me puedan soportar un ratito más hasta que pueda volver a bloggear libremente c:


Y gracias por todos sus hermosos comentarios! Los voy a devolver en cuanto pueda! ;_; promesa!

Gyaru Jewel-like Make-up, ganbare!

Well, my entry titles are sounding like Pokémon episode names lately.

Yesterday I was having the worst hair day ever in the history of times. My fringe was parted at the middle and just didn't want to cooperate.

Did I give up? No!! I grabbed a curler and turned it around. And when I was done with my hair (two years later), I thought it might also be a good time to practice some make-up.


Well, all the bling came much, much later. (thank you LINE Camera)

I got a quick reminder of how hard gyaru make-up actually is. Which is why I have such an undying respect for all the fashionable gals that work hard every day to perfect this style!

This, too, goes for every girl that spends hours thinking up outfits, trying make-up, doing her nails, no matter what subculture she considers herself to be a part of. I'm proud of you all!

But it's also totally OK to have those days in which you really don't even feel like combing your hair.

My personal advice is - whenever you feel like that, it's the best moment to pamper yourself! And take some selfies.



Just one or two selfies.


Or three... or four... or a million selfies...

LIZ LISA Ribbon Dress
Dolly Wink No 14 Lower Lashes (cut in half)

I feel like all those hours practicing make-up are slowly making me better! But if you have any con-crit or suggestions about my make-up style, please let me know!

Right now, I feel like going out with this style... but I have to stay and cram for my final exams, so I can't D:

Little Tokyo, L.A. Haul & Fairytale Boutique - Kawaii and Lolita haul, LIZ LISA Special Collection 2013 Mook

Hi everyone! Long time no see! お久しぶり!

I promised I wouldn't start a blog post like that ever again. But this time, I kinda have to.

Hope you've been fine. Me? Busy with college, mostly, but also took a time-out from boring routine to have a little vacation!

May have missed a class or two but eh, it's all good. God, I really want this semester to be over...

I went to Orlando, FL, Los Angeles, CA and Disneyland. Yayyyy! So happy!

So today I'm blogging about Little Tokyo in LA. Which, of course, was my favorite part <3 So I'll be going over what I bought there!

To be this far into a post and still no picture is an outrage. So let's get started.

 A sneak-preview of my haul!

Overall, I found Little Tokyo to be a paradise. I only wanted to go because I knew about Fairytale Boutique, but didn't quite imagine what I was going to find there.

Much to my surprise, it was Japan heaven, full of Daiso-like goodies, origami paper, traditional cutlery, Japanese food, kawaii galore, make-up and clothes.



I wish I could live nearer places like this!

First part of the haul: make-up!! From various Japanese make-up shops. I was so in shock I forgot to even take pictures. I was teary-eyed like "OMG I never thought I'd see all of this again mommmyyyyy ;____;"

They sold everything, from eyelashes, blush, Dolly Wink, some Canmake, Palty hair dyes... pinch me.

(So cheap, but look so cute!)

(Diamond Dolly 17. I thought these were a good deal. On sale and including Lash Fix! Yay!)

(Dolly Wink Eyebrow Mascara 1 Milk Tea, exactly the one I wanted! *insert success kid*)

And this was just serendipity! I totally never expected Japanese import stores to appear everywhere while searching for Fairytale Boutique. I know this is kind of what one should expect of a Japan Town. But I'm a hillbilly OK.

Then!!! I finally found Fairytale Boutique. And I bought everything ;_; *happy tears*


I have to really congratulate the shopkeepers! They were really nice and also threw in a lot of gifts in my bag! Including those amazing Automatic Honey Halloween pins you see above, as well as a postcard, a bookmark, candy, Automatic Honey stickers, and Fairytale Boutique pins.

Now I get to show off my shopping! <3


The new LIZ LISA & My Melody Special Collection 2013 Mook. When I saw this, I remembered why LL is one of my favorite brands. And it came with the cutest reversible tote bag, too!



Yes! It has a My Mero side and a LIZ LISA side.


Inside, the mook featured the LL girls (LIZ LISA staff from shops across Japan), and Reina Triendl, who had her own section, of course. I really like Reina as the face of LL - she's so perfect!

But hat's off to all the LL shop staff that work so hard and are so fashionable!! 






A big trend in nails was "Maerchen" (メルへン), which means fairytale in German. 


I have to admit, I loved the little gifts just as much as I love what I bought, lol. They really outdid themselves!


Automatic Honey's Orion's Spell cat stickers. In love with these illustrations!

But of course, the best for the last!! There is a tiny little thing that I also bought @ the Fairytale Boutique.


Angelic Pretty's Triple Tart! GET!!!

This was a print that I fell in love with the instant I looked at it. It just looks so yummy and delectable in real life! What with all the whipped cream, burnt merengue and berries!


AP's custom lace makes me cry happy pink tears. That's how badly smitten this has got me.



Some print close-ups, and that's it! I hope you enjoyed my haul! <3

Almost forgot! Just outside Fairytale Boutique there's a cosplay and costume store with some purikura machines in it! Here's the purikura I took, featuring the future kawaii girls, my two little sisters!


I'm well behind with reading all of your beautiful blogs but just leave me a comment and I'll get right to it! :3 of course, if we share interests I will follow you back!

Thank you for reading and commenting, kiwis! Just to have to visiting this blog makes me infinitely happy! Please stay tuned for my next update!
