Progress DIY: Crystal Heart Sunglasses

I am now 18! I'm officially an adult! How exciting!

My birthday was just this past week and I want to make a post about it, but I have to take pictures of my presents still. In the meantime I wanted to share with you guys my latest DIY project, my Crystal Heart Sunglasses.

I bought these sunglasses and 1,000 AB rhinestones on eBay for a super cheap price! I absolutely love these AB rhinestones because they change colors depending on the light! 

It took me about 90 minutes to glue the rhinestones on the glasses with industrial glue. I had to stop after awhile because the fumes were giving me a headache and I wasn't wearing a mask. 

I still need to add more rhinestones on both sides of the glasses to complete it.

 

OOTD: California Winter

This winter hasn't been that cold here in sunny California, but lately it's been getting colder and colder and it even started raining just a couple of days ago! Believe it or not, a lot of parents didn't even let their kids drive to school or any where because of the extreme wind and rain conditions we experienced. To act so rashly about the rain is normal for us Southern Californians (most of us have never even seen snow before), but I'm pretty sure all of you guys living in the East Coast or even in other countries with extreme winter conditions would be laughing if you saw how we handle ourselves with just a little rainstorm.

On a fashion note, this is one of the outfits I wore to school leading up to those cold rainy days.

Dress: Urban Outfitters

Military Jacket: Windsor

Tights: Target

Boots: Cathy Jean

Tips On How To Shop Online

Believe it or not, a lot of people have asked me "how do you online shop" or "how do you find all these cute things online" or "it's so hard for me to buy clothes online." In this post I will lay out the basic steps of online shopping and hopefully answer these questions as well.

#1 Measure Yourself!

This is a very important step because you need to buy clothes or shoes that actually fit you! Get a measuring tape and measure your bust, waist, hips, and feet. Know your height, shoe, dress,shirt,and pants size in both American,European and in cm. This will come in handy in the future!

#2 Material

You don't want to spend a lot of money on clothes and find out later that it's made out of super cheap material. Always try to look up what material the clothes are made out of. If you don't know what type of material it is, look it up. Contact the seller if you need to.

#3 Look Around

If you see something that you like, but it's too expensive, look around at different online stores or maybe wait for it to go on sale. If it's "one of a kind" or something you've never seen before and you have to have it, then just buy it!

#4  Look at Shipping Prices

Some stores offer free shipping if you buy a certain amount from their store (sometimes $50, but depends on the store). Individually owned stores offer bundle shipping, which means that shipping is a lot cheaper if you buy more than 1 item from their store.

#5 Tax

Most big named online companies (Forever 21, Nasty Gal, Urban Outfitters, etc..) charge tax, so just remember that shipping and tax prices can make your order a lot more expensive. Individually owned stores on Etsy, Storenvy and even eBay, don't charge tax which is another reason why I love those websites a lot.

#6 Safe

Make sure that whatever website you're using is safe! If you are not sure if it is safe or not, do not buy from them! Look up reviews on any store before you buy from them! (I learned my lesson!)

#7 Payment

Check to see what kind of payment the website is asking for. Ex: Paypal, AmEx, MasterCard, Visa...
Most websites only except Paypal nowadays which is a safer alternative than just typing your credit card number in any website.

# 8 Search

Go to different websites and type in something that you like or interests you! You might make amazing discoveries this way!

                    Remember: BE SAFE when shopping online!

I've been wanting to do a giveaway for AGES, and today I finally got the chance to do it! The more followers I get, the more giveaways I will do and the better they will be! ^_^

I bought these tights on ebay a while ago and sadly they are too small on me. They fit perfectly on my legs and everything,but they're just to short on me (I'm about 5'7,so around 170 cm). If you are shorter than me, you can probably fit into these tights.
I HAVE NEVER WORN THESE TIGHTS OTHER THAN TRYING THEM ON!

Here is how you can enter this giveaway:

Giveaway ends on August 30th!

Red Cherry Lashes Review!!

I never heard of Red Cherry before until I was watching one of Beckii Cruel's makeup videos. She said that she uses lashes called Red Cherry and I knew that I just HAD to get a pair.
(For those of you who don't know who Beckii Cruel is, she is a 18 year old British girl who got famous in Japan from YouTube. Here's a link to her blog)

I bought the Red Cherry #747L from ebay. They are huge eyelashes, so I probably wouldn't wear them on a regular basis, but they are perfect for certain makeup looks, costumes/cosplay, videos, etc.

Before

After 

I absolutely love this lashes!! Red Cherry uses 100% human hair, so they look more natural than synthetic lashes and last a lot longer (up to 20 uses)! They are super affordable too!

Comfort: 10/10
Volume: 8/10
Length: 10/10
Realistic: 8/10
Price:10/10
Overall: 10/10


I would definitely recommend Red Cherry Lashes!

What Have I Been Up To?

I've been very busy lately! I went to two birthday parties for my cousins in one weekend, started summer school at my local university, and joined a gym! I'm even thinking about going to ballet camp 4 days a week!

Summer school is very tiring, but it will be worth it in the end when I don't have to take chemistry next year! I'll just work super hard and try to get a good grade! 

*Sigh* Well anyway, here are some pictures I took from the birthday parties I went to.
