❤My Beauty Diary Aloe Amino Acid Cleanser Review❤

Hello all!

Today I have a wonderful review for you! ^o^

I'll be review the My Beauty Diary Aloe Amino Acid Cleanser (you can purchase this fine item at prettyandcute.com)!

The product has a really light and creamy consistency, meaning it's gentle on your face!  It also foams so it covers a large area with very little product, which I like because when I wash my face I like to get every crevice plus my neck, and I don't want to have to use a ton of my cleanser to do so!

The cleanser comes with a cute and convenient little spatula so you can scoop out the product easily with getting it under your fingernails!  That's very important to me as a person that ALWAYS has long nails. lol  It's just a pain getting stuff stuck under them all the time!

This cleanser is very thorough and effective with cleaning your skin.  But the best part is, it doesn't dry your skin out (like many other cleansers tend to do, yet claim to not do).  My skin always feels soft and smooth, and supple after washing and I don't even have to put on a moisturizer afterward if I don't want to (for instance, when I go to sleep I don't like wearing too many products on my face.  So this cleanser is perfect for people that feel that way as well)

This product not only moisturizes, but it prevents fine lines and wrinkles (prevent now, don't try to get rid of the stubborn wrinkles later.. :/ ) and it stimulates the production of collagen which is also a must for anti-aging!

To the right is my face after a full day (9am -- 8pm) of normal activity (applying makeup, touching my face with my dirty, germy hands, walking in the hot sun, attending sleep-worthy classes, all with hair on my forehead... oiling it up!).
Icky and oily... yes, I know. (T_T)

To the left you can see that you only this tiny amount to thoroughly cleanse your face of dirtiness of the day!

And this is my face after using My Beauty Diary's Aloe Amino Acid Cleanser!  Looks so much better, right?!  My face looks lighter, is no longer oily, but at the same time it looks, feels, and IS hydrated.   ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ

Thanks for reading guys and I hope you enjoyed this review!
Bai bai~ ❤

Success!! (Roma gyaru shopping!) (＾▽＾*)

I was on a mystic quest over the weekend to find an awesome roma gyaru outfit!  And I found it way quicker than I thought I would... took like... 2-3 hours, but like I said.  It was quicker than I thought it would take. lol

These are the new shoes I bought!! :D Only $6.99 at Sears.  I need to buy all my shoes from Sears! lol

I think these are perfect for roma/mori gyaru! ♥ 

This is the outfit I bought!

The shirt was $13.50 from Forever 21

The skirt was $4.50 from Forever 21

Cute, right?  And for such a great deal!  The whole outfit was under $30, which left me with enough money to buy these!!

An apricot essence sheet mask.

And a British flag iPhone 4s case!  I don't have an iPhone 4s, that's actually my iPod touch, lol

but it fit so well I was like "ehh, what the hell... I'll get it anyway."  It was only $2 at Icing, so why wouldn't I get it!?

Errica also bought one of the on-sale British flag items!  Yes, a flask, lol it was also only $2! :D neat, huh?

And I just thought I'd show you guys my makeup for the day.

Yeaaaahh, sorry my picture is sideways, lol

I don't know why my pictures are acting so funky! （￣～￣;） 

 Well, I guess that's it for this entry!

Thanks for reading! (＾▽＾*)

I Know I'm Not Fat But...

Hi!  So I'm sure you know where this is going... xD I wanna lose a few pounds!
It's not that I think I'm fat or anything, because I know I'm not.  However, I would like my body to be tighter and fatter-looking.  You can be thin with a round belly... trust me.  I've seen it happen.

I think I'll looking cuter in gyaru-like clothing, it'll just pull the look together!  I'm not saying chubbier people can't look like gyaru, that's not AT ALL what I'm saying... but because of my height, my thoughts are definitely:  "the smaller, the better."

So first, a little bit about my weight and all that!
Last time I weight myself I weighed:  121 lb (54.8 kg) 
My height is 5' 4"
Last time I checked my BMI it was at 10, I think--which is awesome!

My measurements:

waist:  29inches (approx. 73.5cm)
hips:  35.5inches (approx. 90cm) (I didn't measure around my butt, I measured a bit above that... should I have measured around my butt? o.o) 
bust:  35inches (approx. 89cm)
arms:  9.5inches (approx. 24.5cm)
thighs:  22inches (approx. 56cm)

Those are my measurements!  All I really care about is my stomach though... haha I think everything else looks okay, actually, I'd like my arms to be a weeeee bit smaller too.  Just a wee bit.

And here are some pictures to get an idea of what I'm working with ;D

I think my goal weight is going to be 110lb (49.8kg).
Right now I'm aiming for 115lb (52.16kg), just to see if I'm satisfied with that weight.

Don't worry!  I'm not doing anything unhealthy. lol ...at least I don't think I am. haha
I'm dieting according to what the app says on my ipod touch (the app is called "Lose It", for those that wanna try it out!)  It keeps track of the calories I can eat and such!
To lose 2lb (0.9kg) every week, I can only consume 886 calories a day, I know it doesn't sound like much, but I had no trouble doing it today! :D  And besides, if I exercise, I can eat more!  I burned off almost 400 calories exercising today, so that means I can eat about 400 more calories, if I want!  But it's late, so I'm not gonna. :P

Thanks for reading!! :3

Egg Drop Ramen Pictorial! (^o^)/

Hi everyone!

Today I have something quick and easy to show you! (^o^)/ A simple ramen recipe!
First things, first!
You'll need a pack of your favorite instant ramen!
I chose Indomie brand, and the flavor is chicken curry.  I got this from my local Asian Market.

And now that you've got your ramen!  Put the noodles into a pot of boiling water!

While you're waiting for your ramen to cook, pick out a few vegetables you like and one large egg.

Personally, I like scallions and snow peas in my ramen!  Scallions have a semi-strong flavor, it isn't anything to worry about even if you don't like onions, because scallions don't taste like your typical onion!  I even love putting scallions in my fried rice! (I'm eventually going to do a pictorial on how to do that as well! ^-^)

Rinse your vegetables well.

And chop them up into small pieces.  (I apologize for the picture being so dark!  Forgive me!（ToT)

Make your way back to your noodles, when they're about halfway cooked (or almost completely cooked), pour out some of the water so the flavor won't be too diluted.  But be sure not to pour out too much if you like soupy style ramen (like I do!).

Now, pour the season packages into your pot of noodles, the Indomie brand comes with 3 flavor packets--that's why I love this brand!  I love lots of flavor!

Pour in the vegetables to cooked lightly.

Drop your egg into the pot, you drop the egg in near the end so that it won't get overcooked and hard-boiled, in my opinion, a soft boiled egg tastes much better with ramen!  So I only let the ramen/vegetable/egg combination sit on the stove for a minute, maybe even less!  Don't worry, your egg won't be dangerously undercooked.  Even after you pour your ramen into your bowl, your egg will still be cooking inside.  Be careful not to leave your ramen on the stove for too long.

While the egg cooks a little I whip out the soy sauce and only put about 2 cap-fulls in the ramen... maybe a little more, the measurements aren't concrete.

Now I'm going to heat up half of a chocolate mantou in the microwave to enjoy with my ramen!

And now, get a cup of aloe juice and the meal is complete! 

I hope you enjoyed this pictorial!  And I hope you're wishing for more! (*＾▽＾)／

I Don't Wanna Sound Like A Weeaboo or Anything...( ﾟ,_ゝﾟ)

Every year, in August, Super Target closing down the store at 9 so that everyone that goes to my university can go shop and get everything they need for the upcoming school year.  They play loud music and give away lots of free stuff!

Amongst the free samples was a sample of the Deep Clean Invigorating Foaming Scrub by Neutrogena.  I grabbed a bottle just so that I could a drop to clean my face every night before bed.  I wanted to save all of the awesome My Beauty Diary Aloe Foaming Cleanser for the day time.  
Turns out that was a BIG mistake!!  I used this stuff like.. twice (2 nights) and my face started breaking out!  I didn't know what the problem was, I figured maybe I was eating bad, maybe I wasn't drinking enough water!  ...nothing had changed in my skin routine, other than using the neutrogena cleanser.
It didn't really hit me until Errica told me that her skin was breaking out really bad too and she suspected it was the sample cleanser. This was my face o.o'
I've been doing masks and have been exfoliating since I found out, which was only a few days ago... And my skin has already started to get better!  The only things I've been using are my usual Asian skincare products.  Those things are magical!  Damn American brands. D:<
Okay, okayy... maybe it's not all American brands, but I swear, I'm not using anymore American skincare brands on my face. =.= I don't want this to happen again.

DON'T USE IT!! D:

Bai bai~

Found It!! ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ

If you've read my last couple of posts, then you know that I lost one of my circle lenses yesterday morning. lol But don't worry, the lost one has been recovered!!  ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノthat was meant to sound dramatic :P)
Shockingly, it was in the toothbrush holder.. =_=' I just wanna know how my lens jumped from my finger all the way across the sink into my toothbrush holder.  *sigh* If I would've brushed my teeth last night like I usually do (I was being lazy last night), I would've found it sooner! Damn iiiiiit!  ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ
I guess this is a lesson to you all as well as myself: don't be lazy.

Now my makeup looks complete!!(￣▽￣)ノ

I Have A Wig Review For Youuuu~ ｡◕‿◕｡

I just bought this wig yesterday, but I already know how I feel about it. :P

I wore it majority of the day yesterday and I've been wearing it since 7:30a today!

The wig is from a simple Chinese wig store near campus.  It's synthetic hair, made in China, nothing special or expensive. :) 

It was $39.99, which is pretty cheap for a good wig!  I was happy this wig was so cheap!  It's easy to comb and doesn't tangle very much.  When I combed through it last night, I had no shedding (maybe a string or two, but that's seriously it-I'm sure it's just because the wig is brand new though lol).  It's comfortable on my head and the hair is soft with a lot of body, so it doesn't make my neck and shoulders itch or anything. (*´・ｖ・)

I love the length, it goes to the bottom of my bra strap--not too long, not short at all.  I love it! I especially love the fact that there are bangs/fringe!  So it has that "cute" look that I adore!  I wanted a wig that was straight with a small natural-looking curl, so I could wear it for gyaru and for days when I'm just dressing plainly.

Besides, if I want to curl it, I can just use rollers or something.

Sooo bottom line, I love the wig, it was cheap and is good quality--EXCELLENT BUY!  And this is my first wig, and I think it's good for those who're wig virgins (like myself lol).  You can also watch the review on my gyaru channel (Sun7Bit)! (✿◠‿◠)

And now enjoy these horrible pictures Errica took of me! I wasn't even ready and she was just snapping away!!! 

My legs look so small and short and weird. lol

Bai bai ~♥

(─‿‿─) In Other Newsss..! (─‿‿─)

I bought a wig... *-*
I told myself I'd never get a wig... But Errica just made them look so fun and convenient! lol (and they are! :P)
I figured since I'm going through a "natural hair journey" a wig would be for the best--I won't have to mess with my hair as much (thereby preventing a lot of breakage) and my wig is more suited for gyaru, rather than my frizzy, curly, transitioning hair lol, so this is easier!

This is the picture I took yesterday (the day I bought the wig), I sent it to my friend Tiffany, who reeeeally wanted to see the wig. lol  I also used it to show the ladies on the Black Gyaru of the World facebook group :3  And I got quite a bit of positive feedback, so it was definitely the right choice getting this one.

(My lame purikura lol)

I know, in this picture I'm circle lens-less!  ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡

While putting them in, I dropped one, and it just kind of disappeared into thin air!  I'm crushed.... ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡

I loved my Apple Greens!!

And I wanted to send my pictures in for Gal VIP Magazine today, too! D:

I'm ruined!!!  ...lol kidding, I'm not that dramatic, but I am bummed, I wanted to look awesome for those pictures. :(

Does anyone know if they accept everyone in Gal VIP?  Or do you have to look super duper, supermodel awesome? lol if you do have to look awesome, I might need to work on my wardrobe and buy more lenses before sending in photos. xD

Enjoy this picture of me, twirling in my wig. lol ^o^

World Market Goodies!ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ

Hello Beauties! ^-^

I know it's been quite some time since I've done an entry!  But I have a good reason, I swear! D:  My internet in my apartment has been down =.='  Damn school!! My parents are paying too much money for this foolishness to be happening! >.<

On to the good stuff! ^.^

Errica, Sakshi (a new friend), and I went to the World Market (an awesome market with foods and household things from all over the world!-Primarily China, France, Italy, Japan, Thailand, India and the US).  I bought so many cute snacks! *-*  And I just wanted share them with you guys! Haha

These are like MINT CHOCOLATE PRINGLES!! IT'S AMAZING!!! *-*

I haven't eaten these yet, I wanna wait until I finish the mint chocolate ones. :3

Do you know how hard it is for me to find these?!! The strawberry pocky with strawberry pieces?!! I haven't seen these since like... High school! D: Since like... maybe my junior year in high school!

Nobody knows how happy I was when I found these lol

And these are Italian strawberry yogurt snack cakes, they have a simple flavor, but they taste amazing!

*-* After I went to the World Market with Errica and bought these, I tasted one.  Then a couple days later my boyfriend came to visit me and I bought more when we went together. lol They're that good!

And these I got from the Asian Mart, they're sooo good!  They're lychee jelly candies!  Ever since I drank some lychee juice from the Vietnamese market at home, I've been in love with lychee stuff. xD  But no one else likes them (︶︹︺)  (oh well, more for me!)  I prefer these candies to be refrigerated, but they taste good at room temperature too.  And in the middle of each one there's a little piece of lychee! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ And if you're looking for a sweet, tasty, low calorie snack, these are exactly what you should be getting! They're only $1 and they're only like... 23.6 calories each, or something like that. ;D

These candies are okayy, I just got these because I love jelly, chewy candy and I wanted to try something new.  They are okayy.  They don't taste bad, but they also don't have an extravagant flavor.  They only have a light sweetness to them.  But I still eat them on occasion. 

I also loooove getting aloe juice fromt the Asian market!  It's good, cheap, and so healthy!  I've read that it prevents cancer, diabetes, and fights AIDS! :3

Anywayy... xD
That's all for now! I have a few more entries to write today, but if I put them all on this one entry it'd be waaaaaay too long! lol So there will be more entries up shortly!

Bai bai~
