EOTD + Alima Pure E/S Review + Love Package from UK

Hello my beautiful readers!

Hope everyone is doing well! I'll be starting school this coming Monday & I'm really excited :) I'll be taking 3 fashion classes in our fashion program. WHOO HOO!

Anyways, aside from school...I've been busy & sick all this summer which stinks butt, but I'm all better now. But yeah, so today I woke up with a nice surprise :) I recently had a swap with fellow blogger/ friend, Lydia Kim :) She got me soo much, it's crazy! & I can't believe it got to me within a week. Anyways, I'll be sending your package this monday! Sorry, it's a bit late...just didn't have time this week =/ But yeah, I loved everything since you guys probably know that I'm such a lipstick junkie ^_^

everything came in good condition except for only 1 MUA eye shadow that shattered, so I had to throw it away. But everything else was great :D I'm so pleased!!!

Anyways, thank you so much, Lydia <3 you're the sweetest!!!

Ok, so moving on, here's my EOTD from yesterday. I'm also wearing colored contact lenses from lensmarketplace.com I got the Adore Bi-tone gray. & no! they're not circle lenses hehe!

Also, here's my upcoming post :) just giving you guys a quick sneak peek! What do you guys think?

-----------------------------------------------

Alima Pure Cosmetic's sent me 4 samples of their eye shadows a month ago & I haven't really been able to review them until now. Anyways, here are the swatches:

here are the sample jars

Here are the swatches with different finishes

- Jacquard is a matte creme colored eye shadow with tiny flecks of gold

- Brocade is a matte gray (not sky blue as it shows on the picture)

- Tulle is a frost gold color

- Velvet is a matte deep purple

Overall: The colors were really great & pigmented. However, the only difficult thing about using loose pigments is the fact that their would be more fallout that pressed shadows. But the great thing about Alima Pure eye shadows is that it's not only mineral but also uses natural ingredients, which is always great. They have variety of colors and finishes. They also have a nice variety of colors & finishes for blushes, which I would love to try. Also, they offer sample sizes just like the ones I got and sell them for only $1 so if you weren't sure about the brand and want to give their eye shadows a try, then, go ahead & visit http://alimapure.com

OOTD ft. Layered Skirt from Asoya.com

Hello there my beautiful readers! Sorry I've been MIA for a while now =/ I actually just recovered from food poisoning, cold & a slight fever -_-" Crazy right? I guess this summer just isn't my summer. I mean I hate summer but all the other summers in the past didn't make me feel this way. Tough luck! Anyways, I'm all better now & blogging again. I've missed out on so much, it's insane! hehe! Anyways, I shot these pictures last Sunday, of course! and I'm barely posting them for all of you to see. So hope you guys like it :) Btw, these pictures were shot by my little sister! (She told me to credit her! lmao)

FOTD & newly dyed hair ;)

- Plain V-Neck Tee (White)

- Layered Denim Skirt 

-Cut-out Footless Tights

-Mid calf, Open toed Wedges

So, this outfit wasn't really inspired by anything in particular, I just felt like putting it all together & see how it would turn out :) And, I guess, the turn out was pretty good right? What do you guys think?

Anyways, you are all probably wondering where I got this super cute skirt right? Well, I got this skirt at http://asoya.com It is a free size so since it fits me, I'm sure it'll also fit someone who's about a sixe XS-M. I'm somewhere in between that I guess.

The material used on this skirt is a light denim. It has a 4 layer pattern & a fully functional front zipper. The waist has elastic bands which means, it is very stretchy. It can be worn high waist or just exactly on the waist depending on your size &/or your preference. It is very comfortable & easy to wash, which is another reason why I love it. It was also sewn very good, as there were no loose strands hanging around.

Anyways, aside from this review, I have actually done an OOTD VIDEO wearing everything on this post. However, due to unfortunate circumstances, it was erased =/ So, I have to re-shoot that video all over again sometime before this week ends. & I'll make sure to post it up :)


FTC: The skirt was sent to me by http://asoya.com for review purposes only. I am NOT getting paid to do this review. Everything in this post is 100% of my own honest opinion.
