Lili-san by Dorothy Kouwenberg


Hi Everyone!

Wow this week has been pretty exhausting. Even right now I feel super tired but I must write this post because I just finished to re-read this wonderful book and I feel pretty happy to share my feelings with you. This book is really special to me for several reasons. But sincerely I should write this review a long time  ago. But like I finished to read this wonderful baby today I decided that this must be the day for ublish the review. This book is a very peaceful and relaxing book that treats first about friends and loyalty and has place in that period after the World War II and probably is the first book that I read situated in that period.

This book was very relaxing for me and even when I started this book several years ago. Like I just started to re-read two days ago. I feel I missed a lot of stuff and many things were a surprise again for me. Why this book is som important to me? Because has been the first book where I collaborate, but not like writer.

About this book~

REVIEW

I am not sure If this could be called a review because today I want share my feelings about this book. First I have this amazing main character called Lili Katsuki that is a really wonderful person that is working in this place that is like a base of American soldiers in Japan after WWII and is very interesting because this is not my type of book but the narrative was so sweet and involving and we start to see how she interacts with her only friend there for the start of this book.

The main character is a person that really cares about others and really love it helps to others from the bottom of her heart and that is kind, sweet and she is selfless. Now during the book I started how this bilingual woman like is Lili-san is working at an japanese hospital translating important documents. And how even when her past is pretty sad due the death of her parents during the the WWII she is super strong abd very sweet. I feel a pretty nostalgical to this point because the author of this lovely book that was Dorothy Kouwenberg passed away two years ago and I don´t know how to express my feeling after finish this lovely story about love and friendship. And I feel touched again for this book. 

RATING



Like I mentioned before I had the privilege to cooperate with the author of this amazing book. I want mention that this book was a personal local project of the author but in anyway I feel blessed because I am a book lover and i had the ooportunity to cooperate. 
You can read other book from this amazing author.


This wonderful author passed away two years ago. And for that reason I can write with property about that the books are the proof that me magic exists.


I was contacted several years ago for use one the photos from one of my reviews for the edition for the cover. And I felt so honoured that day. I feel so happy now like that day because this book is really lovely. The author was working in this personal project and I was contacted by the Cover Designer and I feel really blessed. My only request was the credit to me and one paperback. I received the paperback several months later.

So yeah... I am the girl on the Cover~(^○^)オ
The designer used one of my photos for design the cover.♡


Here one of my favorite quotes from this beautiful book:

"Loss and dissapointment are inevitables, Lili-san. Accept both with grace"

Miyu Brown Circle Lenses Review


Hi Everyone!

My first review of circle lenses for this year is for the great web store of circle lenses Klenspop. And I must confess that this store has one of my favorite models of circle lenses to amazing prices. I am a person that always is purchasing with a budget and that is the reason because I love it this web store too. Because offers always the best price in circlelens. I received a pair of this plano circle lens Miyu Brown Circle Lenses and I choose this design because is more for an ulzzang look. I received this pair of lenses for review purposes but all the opinions expressed in this review are based in my own opinion with this product.

If you want know how care the circle lenses
I want invite you to read my post

I received the circle lenses in this box~

Both Plano~

(◞ꈍ∇ꈍ)

Pattern~



¤ Design/Pattern + Color: This design is pretty natural. Just a brown hallo with shape of star. Ahd this design basically has two shades a soft brown and a medium brown. Like I have light eyes the color looks like a halo around my iris. And I love it how the color blends with my natural eyes.

¤ Comfort: 100% Comfortable I feel like I am not using nothing.

¤ Enlargement: Provides a good enlargement but super natural. I guess this is the perfect diameter If you are looking more big eyes but looking super natural for a ulzzang look.

¤ Overall: I love it these circle lenses first because are super comfortable. The design I was a big worried because like the clor is light brown and with this super natural desig probably can made my eyes a little dull how happened with other light brown designs. Iw as expecting a more dark color but the color is not more dark beyon of a medium brown but the effect makes the eyes looks pretty innocent and pretty. I love it that and even when the diameter is 14.5 mm the looks is very natural. I recommend these lenses If you are looking for a natural design for a ulzzang or day makeup I guess is perfect.

¤ Rating: ★★★★★

Etude House Play 101 Stick Brush


Hi Everyone!

I am here today with a review about a product that was a great discovery in my recent purchases. Like some of you know the brushes are a must have in my daily makeup routine. I love it the sponges but I love it a bit more the makeup brushes. The reason is because are more durable and more easy to maintain clean for use in my face. And using the appropiate you can create a clean and perfect makeup. I´ve always be in favor to use any good makeup brush but since the last months of the last eyar I found that some korean brands has very good prices for their makeup brushes so I though could be great start to try some makeup brushes from korean brands and the same time I test the quality and start a new collection. So I decided start with this the Etude House Play 101 Stick Brush.

I received the brush inside this plastic bag.

Back Side of Bag~

This is a foundation brush~◝₍⁽⁺⁰꒳⁰⁾₎◜

Etude House Play 101 Stick Brush


PROs and CONs

PROs
- Great price.
- Supper affordable.
- Very small and easy to carry.
- Super soft brush bristles.
- The design is cute.

CONs
- On many countries you only can buy this product online.


Conclusions

Like always in all my reviews about brushes I share all my opinions here in conclusions this product is super affordable just $8 in many online stores and you can find this at many relatable sellers on eBay. Second this brush is not very long just around 10 cm of lenght and I was that is cool because I always want have more place to put my brushes so that is great. And in case that you need put this in a makeup bag for carry to travel or something like that this is pretty small. This is more small than my hand. 

The bristles are super but believe me ultra soft and probably that is one the best things about this brush, because you have the change of blends and put a great and very uniform layer of foundation on your skin. And other great fact about this brush is that you don´t waste product due the sintetyc fiber. I gues this is a great invest and sincerely I want try other brushes from Etude House. 100 Recommended!

RATING
★★★★★

ETUDE HOUSE Proof 10 Eye Primer


Hi Everyone!

I am here today with a new review of a korean product from my favorite brand Etude House and I am talking today about ETUDE HOUSE Proof 10 Eye Primer. This product is a must have for me now and sincerely I am not sure how I lived without this product in my life. This year I want complete my makeup collection in a more organizated way than the last year. And that is one the reasons because I didn´t publish my korean favorite products of 2016  because I purchased products without a orden. But this year I want complete all the steps for a complete makeup and skin care routine. I started with eye primer. In previous years I was using a local band of eye primer. But since a long time I have an eye over this primer and I decided I needed use this primer after read great reviews.

Ingredients~

ETUDE HOUSE Proof 10 Eye Primer
I really like the packaging is simple but cute~


🎀 Packaging + Price: I really like the packaging I can´t say that is super pretty because I guess is cute but no more. The price is great considering the quality of this product. This product is around to $5 to $8 USD with free shipping in many online stores.

Swatch~
I love it how the product disapears into the skin~

Before and After the ETUDE HOUSE Proof 10 Eye Primer
using the same eyeshadow color~

PROs and CONs

🎀 PROs
- Lightweight texture.
- Affordable price.
- Waterproof.
- Cute and simple packaging.
- Helps to prolong the duration of my eyeshadow.
- Improves and increases the color of the eyeshadow.

🎀 CONs
- On many countries you only can buy this product online.

Conclusions

I am surprised bu for good. Because I don´t used a lot of eyeshadows because my problem always was: Oh that eyeshadow is very low pigmented and that purple eyeshadow is a proof of one of them. So when I started to use this product I started to see how my eye makeup started to long more and the makeup looks more clean and I really love it that effect. See how clearly the color of the eyeshadow  looks more intense is something that make me really happy. (~‾⌣‾)~

This product has a great price and you can find this product from eBay for around $5  and wow that is a great price sincerely. Because this contains 10 grams but I really use a very tiny amount of product in each eye. I love it because looks creamy but is pretty lightweight and clear so is great because I can use this eye primer with any eyeshadow color. This product  full all the expectations from a primer. Increases the color, It makes the eyeshadows have a long duration. The most amazing is that this product is waterproof so I decided test this using this before go to the pool. And I was shocked because after several hours in the pool my eyemakeup was still there and that is great so this is definitely a must have. I recommend this product to 100% If you are looking for one eye primer. I want repurchase this product.


RATING
★★★★

I hope you enjoyed this review. Definitely one if my favorite korean products
This primer is a jewel from Etude House (*≧▽≦)

Happy day!

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell


Hi Everyone!

I am super tired because today I removed with my mom all the Christmas decorations and I am not so well of health so I feel very tired. But recently I finished with this book that I had on my bookshelf and I haven´t finished because I don´t know that book I guess wasn´t the appropiate for me. I was really excited when I bought this book because I consider myself a fangirl with respect books. I know how is ship two of my favorite characters, I know terms like OTP or Canon and stuff like that proper of a fangirl.

So I was a bit excited because this book is about a girl that is a really fangirl and writes fanfiction. Even when now I am not an avid reader of fanfiction was a season of my life that I read tons of fanfics I was obsessed with them. So I tought was a good decision read this book.


Genre: Young Adult  / Contemporary / Romance

About this book

A coming-of-age tale of fan fiction, family and first love. 

Cath is a Simon Snow fan.

Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan...

But for Cath, being a fan is her life—and she’s really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it’s what got them through their mother leaving.

Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.

Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can’t let go. She doesn’t want to.

Now that they’re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn’t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words... And she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s loving and fragile and has never really been alone.

For Cath, the question is: Can she do this?

Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? Writing her own stories?

And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?


REVIEW "SPOILERS FREE"

I started this book with the best feelings I have great expectatives because I watch and read so many good reviews about this book. But I felt a great dissapointing when I found this book was even more boring than others YA Books. The center in this story is Cath a girl that is starting her first year at College and well she has her twin sister Wren and they made almost everything together but in College everything changes and well she knows a boy and she likes write a fanfiction. The story is not deep or complicated in theory that is everything in this book.

Cath loves write a fanfiction that is like a gay version of Harry Potter and sincerely for me was one the worst points about this book because I am not sure If is because I am very old for find the gay situations interesting but the story inside this book (the Cath fic) about Simon Snow and Baz was a completely loss of my time sincerely I was almost dying reading that because was super but really super slow. This book is unnecesary long and I am not going to re read this book never. Like always this is my personal opinion about this book not all the books that I read I found that are amazing and this is one of them. I am sorry but I can´t recommend this book. The cover is pretty and could be an amazing story but was everything super boring.

RATING
★☆☆☆☆


And this book has cute illustrations about each Characters~  ヾ(*⌒ヮ⌒*)ゞ

This was my book review for today I am working for my next book review~
Happy day~(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚

AmandaDress

"Advertorial Post"


Hi Everyone!

Today I am here with a new post about wonderful dresses. this year is the year people. The year of my prom and I am now really in my senior year. I hope everything ends this year respect to my career. I need put more effort form myself because this year ends. I can´t be a College Student forever and this year that is going to change. But I need to start too looking dresses and wow is very hard try to looking between so many wonderful dresses. I am taking my time because is very hard fine the right dress for everything.


I guess the beige is a nice color for me. Even when I was expecting something black probably I am not always going to use black. Just for one event but I prefer beige in long dresses. I really love it this store bcause I can find  a great variety of dresses and of course great prices. Find a dress in a good price is very important for me because I don´t have a huge budget either.


The long dresses are a must have for a prom. And today I decided share three of my favorite long dresses from this store called AmandaDress. I must admit that with this last dress I am not fan about the color but I really like how the simple the design is. Probably that is because was one of my choices. Has been rpetty hard for me decide about dresses. So I want to know in the comments what are you looking in a prom dress? I hope this post can be useful to you and I want invite you to visit this great store.
