sweating like a pig

what's been going on in the month of june (thank goodness it's pretty much over!):
got these goody spin pins. all i've been wearing lately is a bun because my hair is at that awkward length between short and long. these work great and look better than a jaw clip!
finally got a bike! i've been wanting a cruiser for a while, but every time a good one pops up on craigslist, it gets sold. got this baby for $40, but i need to get it fixed. can't wait!!!
omnomnomnom yummy beef steak and egg sandwich from new bambu. i ate one today and wanted another earlier T_T
top: american eagle outfitters, shorts: forever 21
i dunno, but it feels weird when older people complement what i wear. like these shorts. hmm.

currently wearing NYC's French White Tip and American Apparel's Summer Peach.

hey....wtf

top: american eagle, tap shorts: american apparel
finally, a perfect and simple pair of high waisted shorts! i feel so american apparel in this picture lol. wanting to get these shorts in tan and blue as well and saw that they increased the price by $2. it's not much, but it's like hey....wtf.

lol i accidentally grabbed the tester at american apparel. this is one of their new lacquers in summer peach. can't wait to try it out.
top: forever21, shorts: h&m
wore this to my friend's 21st birthday. really into stripes, cropped tops, and high waisted shorts right now, as typical as it is. i'm glad that it's trendy and available right now.

here's my good friend kha and his boypren eric. eric definitely made the fun night with so many that's-what-she-said's.

flauta love

cardigan: hand me down from aunt, tank & shorts: forever21, flats: urbanoutfitters
omg i want the cheese flautas from la fiesta in berkeley so bad! all that gooey, warm cheese in that crunchy tortilla!!!
definitely inspired by Lena's cutie french! i got a vivi in a different language but with the same cover just to have the cover and then got the japanese version -_-

bodysuit: urbanoutfitters, belt: thrifted, skirt: forever21
i hate it when i lose my mom in a store and she doesn't turn on her cellphone. i walked around target 5 times -_-

needed a new moisturizer and sunblock because my eucerin redness relief lotion wasn't cutting it. my oiliness has come back (damn summer) so i got this clinique gel moisturizer. i like how it's lightweight and how i only need so little of it! this sunblock is also a step up: spf 30, doesn't leave me with a sticky feeling, and doesn't have that sunblock smell.

go to

yay so glad the pain/suckiness of getting wisdom teeth taken out is over! i will miss the pros of my week hibernation: staying indoors away from the sun and not eating anything because of the nausea from the pain pills.
cardigan, jeggings, & flats: urbanoutfitters, tank: forever21
my go-to outfit! i'm sad i can't wear these jeggings anymore, it's too hot!

dress: thrifted, romper (underneath) & flats: urbanoutfitters
i think this is my go to pose. lol.
rompers are great slips! they give coverage and no flashing underwear! the only thing is taking it off to go to the bathroom!

sorry about my bleh feet! the colors i'm wearing right now: China Glaze's Peachy Keen and OPI's What's With The Cattitude? they're so summer! the China Glaze one dries darker than the bottle which is a bummer because i like light pastel colors. every time i look at my toes, i think of Shrek. lol.

more makeup

on a makeup rush...the boypren is not going to like this : [
got mac's nuance after seeing a very pretty picture of it online. it's a pretty peachy-pink. also got a free gift because the seller shipped it out after a few days. so considerate! i would never have thought of purple lip gloss, but i actually like it!
wearing the blush and both lip glosses!
cardigan & sneakers: urbanoutfitters, top: thrifted, jeans: forever21

also got another pair of my favorite sneakers in the whole wide world (>_<)! my old ones had a hole and the water was soaking through it
checked out Beauty 360 at my nearest CVS and i'm in love! it's like a Sephora with a lot of unknown beauty brands and excellent customer service! i never get greeted or helped at all at Sephora. got an angled blush brush for contouring and this Jack Black lip balm. it smells like lemon starbursts and has spf 25 : ] my rosebud salve hasn't been cutting it.
finally bought mac's peachstock on a whim after wanting it for awhile but convincing myself not to get it. i'm glad i got it because it's great and the packaging is so cute : ]. it is similar to the wet n wild lipstick i posted before, but it's more pink and applies waaaayyy better.
and here's how OPI's Coney Island Cotton Candy looks like with 4 coats. not as nude as i hope it would be, but it's still nice : ]

gee, i'm on a roll here

blogging on my new laptop, thus the influx of posts. yay for having own computer and not having to use the family desktop! : ]went nail polish shopping yesterday and i'm very very happy because of it. my friend told me that there was this place that sold super cheap nail polishes, so i had to check it out. i couldn't believe it was true: $4 for OPIs, $2.75 for China Glazes, and $3 for Essies OMG! they're normally $6-8 each so it was such a good deal! now i need a nail polish rack for my growing collection : ]
OPI's Panda-Monium Pink, What's With the Cattitude? (from the Shrek Forever After collection :]), and Coney Island Cotton Candy
Essie's Fed Up, Tart Deco, and Mint Candy Apple
China Glaze's Peachy Keen from the Up & Away Collection
China Glaze's Re-Fresh Mint might look similar to Essie's Mint Candy Apple, but the Essie one has a bluer hue.

strawberry head!

been wearing green lately...
jacket: urbanoutfitters, top: oldnavy
jackets & umbrella: h&m, jeggings: urbanoutfitters, boots: target
wanted to try another way of curling hair without using heat so decided to try out these strawberry curlers!!!
heehee strawberry head. i bought them from this seller on ebay because it was the cheapest (*cheapo heehee). they do work. the day after i slept with them on, i had very curly hair. i didn't have a good night's sleep though. i also think that my hair doesn't hold curls well without heat. either way, i think it's better than frying my hair : ]

getting this out of the way...

i was eyeing the new lipsticks from wet n wild awhile back and finally bought them because they were bogo half off and because someone on youtube said 900 was a dupe for mac's peachstock. i'm glad these were cheap ($2.99) because they suck! they are not creamy at all, compared to the raving other people have said about them. they're hard to apply, are hard to blend, and just bad in general. my nyx lipsticks are heaven compared to these! and they were cheaper! rawr! i just wish the 900BP worked because the color is a pretty peachy nude.
