Purikura On The Go!

So since I've been doing absolutely nothing at home, I decided to check out some apps for my iPhone! And I have found two MUST haves for the purikura fans! If you don't know, purikura in Japan are sticker pictures that you can take in a photobooth, and they are fancy machines that look like this:

I have seen these booths in malls and they are absolutely FUN. You take pictures with your friends and decorate them! Cool right? Well I'm sure 99% of you know what purikura pictures are so I'm going to stop, but here is what the pictures out of the machine look like.


 There used to be a store with the machines where I live, but then it closed down T~~T SO I've had to find alternatives! I've already reviewed an app called the Princess Camera in this post HERE but I have two more apps that I think are absolutely PERFECT and wonderful that everyone with an iPhone and loves decorating pics should get :P


The first one is called Girls Camera and the second one is called Rakuga-Cute (楽画cute). I'm going to review Girls Camera first because it's my favorite!

This app is free so keep that in mind!

Okay so basically the app starts off with you can take a picture right then or you can choose to decorate a photo that you've already taken. I've chosen to do the latter. The main menu screen looks like this: 


Then after you've chosen your picture, you decorate it just like you would in the purikura machine! There are stamps, pens, frames and backgrounds that you can use to decorate your picture as cute as you want to ^^ here are some screen caps to show you how awesome it is.


AWESOME RIGHT? And here are a few pictures that I have decorated with this app :) 


What do you think? Isn't is so cute? And its completely FREE! Yes so go download it now iPhone lovers :)

The second app is Rakuga-Cute (楽画cute) and it's basically the same thing, but I had to pay $3.99 USD to unlock the decorations and pens. The actual app is free, but they only give you a few stamps and a few pen colors, etc. I really wanted to see the other things so I sucked it up and paid the 4 bucks to get more!

Its the same concept, where you either choose a pic or take one there and here is the menu screen:


What I love about this app in particular is that it looks like the program in the purikura machines! Like the font, the layout and the style. I'm just a sucker for presentation so because it's presented so well, I just love love it.  Here are some more screen caps that I took for y'all :)



As you can see its basically the same, but look at the layout! If you've been in a purikura machine, doesn't it look exactly the same?? I'm so happy with it and this is definitely an app I would recommend. Here is some pictures that I decorated:


Lol okay ignore my face in those I look horrible, but basically the decorating is so much fun with this app :P

Thats all I have, hope you guys enjoy checking those apps out! Download them if you have an iPhone ^^

Hello hello in summer reds!

What is the cutest print of the summer? Floral! I just love love floral print clothing and its what I've been rockin' all summer. I bought this shirt from Love Culture on sale for $3 USD. Isn't that a steal?! I love the pink and orange flowers blending together to great a perfect balance. Its bright and colorful which is perfect for summer! Its also a high rise so that I stay nice and cool in the heat :) Here's a preview of everything today!




To go along with my summer look I also decided to try out this new Victoria's Secret eyeshadow palette that I bought at the semi annual sale. It was about $10 USD when I got it and its so pretty. Its got a lot of vibrant colors along with some darker colors so that you can blend the two together. Its also SUPER pigmented like seriously, a little goes a long way. I love the quality and the packaging is also super cute. Win!


For this look I used the top two colors on the right (the deep red and the brown) to create this blend of colors that goes perfect with my shirt! I'm not very daring so I'm too afraid to use bright colors, but that's why I love this red so much its only like a tint. You can see it, but from far away it doesn't look so vibrant and gaudy.  


Here's a list of all the makeup I used for my look (and its seriously just copied and pasted from my earlier blog post because well, I use the same face makeup everyday! The only thing thats really different are the eyes and lips ^^; I starred the ones that are key!)

Face:
-KMA foundation powder
-MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Gold Deposit
-Bare Minerals bronzing mineral powder
-Sheercover Duo Concealer

Eyes:
** -Spring Shimmer Eye Kit by Victoria's Secret eyeshadow palette
-Mary Kay mascara
-NYX felt tip pen eyeliner
-Canmake Coloring Eyebrow in Honey Gold
-Dolly Wink eyelashes No.1
-Princess Mimi Sesame grey circle lenses

Lips:
**-NYX Black Label Matte Lipstick in Diva
And more pictures of my look:


 ... I'm totally pulling a Kotobuki Rui face in that first picture... doesn't she always take her pictures like that?? 

Anyways...Very cutesy style! Yes back to my comfort zone. But hey that doesn't mean I can't try a sexy pose with it too :P



 Yep lol I'm lame I only have one 'sexy' face. It looks like I'm about to cry or something. But anyways I hope you enjoyed reading this! Happy summertime ^^

No point.. LOL

Ummm hi? :) 

lol so there is really no point to this post I think. Besides the fact that I tried a few new things today so I'm going to post about them! >w< So here is the outfit for today. Not the girly floral style that I've been wearing lately but today it looked a little chilly so I wanted to wear my long sleeved shirt (even though the fact that I'm not wearing pants defeats that purpose... but who cares! lol) oh but yeah I AM wearing shorts no worries ;)


So other than that, with my makeup today I stacked some lashesss. I really like it cause I had time to get dressed and put on makeup so stacking lashes is fun! and it really makes them nice and thick which is amazinggg. I hate putting on too much mascara so this method is way better!

DOESN'T THIS PICTURE REMIND YOU OF RUI?? JUST A LITTLE??


lol I think its the whole like looking up thing and our bangs XD but yeah i was like omg!

Kay well I guess I'll talk about some life things :) 
In 2 weeks school will be over and I'm going to Thailand! We are going for 3 months~ Such a long time haha. But I'm excited to see my family and I feel like I haven't been in forever even though its only been like what, a year?  My mom has been there like this whole year and she also keeps telling me about how good the shopping is now cause she's finding a lot of stuff haha. She's like yeah I wanna take you to this mall and this mall! I'm really looking forward to that ;P Shoppingggg~~!

I think we are also going to go to Korea this year since Japan's condition is not good :/ I wish there was some way to help them even more, but I guess all we can do is pray and hope for their recovery (and give money of course :O ) but yeah every year we used to go to Japan just to hang out a little but my mom says she is afraid this year and we should go to South Korea instead. I've always wanted to go! Also my friend is there right now on a study abroad program so maybe she can show us around and help us out since I know no Korean LOL (and I doubt the random shoutings I know from dramas will help :P)

Yeah so that's basically it. Thanks to anyone if you read this :)
