New Years Sparkle! (new year same ol' late me)

Forever tardy to the party, here's my New Years look!

I decided to reign in the new year with a very glittery and golden

"halo eye" and "glitter tears" to match!  Can't forget about the star

of the show, my highlight~  I finally got to really use my bolt balm

from Elektra cosmetics ♥

RUNDOWN  

* I ♥ Makeup - Naked Chocolate , Golden Bar palettes
* Too Faced - Chocolate Bon Bons
* Milani amore matte lip creme - Beautiful
* Cherry Blossom #805
* Diamond Lash - sweet eye
--- Glitters ---
* Elektra Cosmetics - Bolt Balm in "Midas Touch"

* Nyx glitter - Red
* fine gold craft glitter - Michaels

I think it's safe to say this actually turned out how I envisioned it.
It was fun and pretty simple actually.  I love glitter y'all I want to
wear it everyday!  Maybe not the glitter lips though, I was so afraid
I'd ingest the glitter!
(* ´;艸;)゛

To create this New Years look I used my new brushes that I got

for Christmas!

Galaxy Unicorn Brushes

     The back of the packaging labels each brush.  The hairs have a cool pattern on the top and the handles are so cute! TT  I find it adorable the box says "no unicorns were hurt in the making of this product" lol.  Performance wise, I really like the blush brush.  I believe I used the flat brush to apply my foundation and it did a nice job.  The eyeshadow brush is a bit big for what I was trying to do, but I will try using it again.

I on Beauty Oval Brushes

     I feel like I can't even express how much I love these brushes!  They performed SO well, I was initially shocked at how my makeup turned out.  I've achieved the "airbrushed" look maybe once before but, my God, these brushes make it easy.  That's what I enjoyed about these brushes; application, blending and setting makeup becomes a dream~♥  Usually I spend so much time blending out my concealer but not anymore!  It's like my makeup melted away into seamless coverage.  Plus they're extremely soft!

 And to think I was about to switch foundations, but I think my
brushes may have made a big difference.

Speaking of Christmas gifts~ I've been spoiled~~~

Kieli is the sweetest and I don't deserve such whole-hearted kindness, I can't say thank you enough! Thank you thank you!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
It's been a while since I shared gets with y'all~

 Both are from Forever21 and I got them so cheap!  Both were $7!
The sweater is super duper soft and baby pink.  The blouse looks
odd in the picture above, but it's a dusty rose color.

     As I grow older, I'm noticing changes in my style.  Pieces I usually wouldn't go for are increasingly making my closet their home lol  I'm excited to see how I'll incorporate my changing style into Gyaru.  (I'm not letting Gyaru go!)  I'm also eager know in what other ways I'll change this year.  Is there anything you're excited for with the start of this brand new year?

Until next time,

♡VLOG: Kawaii Market @Kawaii NOLA♡

Hello Cuties~
(๑•з•)))⋆*♡*⋆ฺ=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞
I've finally gotten around to editing the footage
from the Kawaii Market event from last week!
I'll embed the video at the end of this post.

The Kawaii Market was being hosted by none other
than, Kawaii NOLA!  I mentioned before that it's been
forever since Alice in I visited their shop.
They've even changed locations!  However it's still
on Magazine street.

The event was 2 days and ran from 10am to 4pm.
I caught them on the second day between 11am - 12pm.
I was being a little (read a lot) awkward but I made my
way through each table, greeting the creators while
observing (and filming) their art / items.

There were two artists present "A Strange Bohemian"
and "Spooky in the Square".  Both were lovely and I got
to speak with them for a bit.  I was really drawn to the
latter shop.  S.Larson's art concept was very creepy cute
with voodoo dolls, crocodiles, and skeletons.

Lots of nice jewelry shops were present as well!
"Faerie Things" and "Sweetly Inedible" caught my
attention the most.  The set up by "Faerie Things"
was so colorful, I couldn't wait to reach their table!
Their craft style reminds me of Peco Club and tutuHA
meets Lisa Frank lol idk how to explain it but I
love it ♥

Let's not forget the glitz and glam of the day :
"Elektra Cosmetics".
As soon as I made it to their table they asked
"Are you a glitter fan?"  I said yes of course lol
Elektra's table even had a sample glitter bar!!!
Their Bolt Balm pots were on display for anyone to
play in~  I swatched all 3 at the bar aaand a few of
their other glitters.  Elektra Cosmetics is located in New
Orleans and I'm definitely purchasing more in the future.

Here's my face from that day :

Cannot wait to use this bad boy!!

I got the Barbie earrings! It made me think of

Peco Club style ♥ I already put the keychain to use!

I hope I'm not forgetting anything . . .
Anyway, I'm super tired and have work tomorrow ;;
Here's the vlog!  Enjoy!
