✧ Sephora Cinderella Collection ✧

Okay, I bought this collection this past September and I have no idea why it's taken me so long to take pictures of it. I guess I kept forgetting. Anyway, I haven't messed with palette much yet, but the other day I wore "Rococo" and "Chateau".

On to the photos!

♥ Clothes ♥

Obviously I LOVE buying clothes, but I think these might be my favorite ones so far, besides my new everyday purse!

From Target: Faux Leather Jacket and a Lilac Shoulder Bag
The jacket was $40 which is pretty cheap for most faux leather jackets that I've seen. And this looks so good with a dress (I wore it yesterday) and I bet it will look just as nice with a skirt!
And I really only got the bag because it was on clearance for $12.50 and it was the last one in my Target, so I couldn't resist~

Within in the next week I will probably buy a dress or two from there also (of course I couldn't find stock photos online), but I'm clearly gonna post them here if I do because I'm kind of obsessed with this.

Detail pictures:

I love the "quilted" pattern on this! Pretty sure that's 90% why I got it.

Love, love, LOVE this color~

✧ Beauty Products ✧

Bought some beauty products yesterday that I'm pretty excited about!

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation
Wow, the foundation photographed dark, but it's really not. Can't wait to see these two on my face! :3

Revlon Nail Polish in "Vintage" and Sinful Colors Nail Polish in "Cinderella"
You just can't pass up polishes that are $2 or on clearance!

Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner
I'm super happy to start using this again! It made my hair so soft~

Alrighty, that's all for now!

✧ Favorite Games of All Time ✧

So for the lack of a better post, I'm making another list! This time featuring 5 games that I absolutely adore and will play over and over.
(Okay I tried for 5 but it didn't work haha)

No. 7 - BioShock
Probably the only game that truly surprised me with its ending.
Also, the whole idea of it is so out there, I love it.
I haven't replayed it yet, but I'm going to soon.

No. 6 - SSX3
I got this game not long after I got my PS2 and I played this game, ALL THE TIME.
It's just so fun, and I liked buying different outfits for the characters. Though I never played as any guys haha.
But my favorite character was Kaori because she was adorable, and had the cutest outfits! (which makes sense, since she is Japanese)

No. 5 - Beyond Good & Evil
Another game I loved, that I'm pretty sure took me a while to finish, just because I was like 10 or 12, and it was actually pretty challenging. I really liked the whole "taking photos" part of it, and I thought that was something different, since all I really played was Pokemon, KH, FF, etc.
I'm really excited about the HD remake, but I haven't had a chance to download it on my Xbox.
I really love Jade, and her green lipstick. (seriously, I used to want it)

No. 4 - Assassin's Creed
Okay, I love all the AC games, but Brotherhood is definitely top because Ezio is my favorite, and he was pretty great in this one. I was sad by how short it was (along with Revelations) but there's nothing I can do about that, I guess haha.
AC3 is definitely really close to this one in my favorites.

No. 3 - Pokemon
Obviously, I love Pokemon - but Crystal is definitely my #1 in the series.
I really, really, REALLY wish it had gotten a remake with HeartGold and SoulSilver just because I no longer have this game or my GameBoy Color (it was stolen out of my parents' car and this game was in it)
I love the starters (Totodile was my favorite for a long time) and Suicune is my favorite legendary.
Plus this was the first game you could choose a female character and I thought she was awesome.
Oh and the fact that you could go back to Kanto? Beautiful. I wish they had kept that in some of the future games. (that would definitely make getting every Pokemon in your Pokedex A LOT easier)

No. 2 - Final Fantasy
My first FF game ever, was X. And it is still my favorite to this very day. I can actually quote some of the lines in it. I honestly probably never would have played this if it weren't for the No. 1 game on my list, and this is why it is No. 2 because they're really about equal.
Yeah, Tidus is kind of dumb as hell but that's not all there is to this game. I love the entire story line, the characters, the music, the world, everything.
Nothing will stop this game from being one of my top favorites.
(unless I actually get around to playing VII, but X will still be special)

No. 1 - Kingdom Hearts
This game was my "gateway" game. Pretty sure, it was my first "true" RPG, as my PS2 was my first console aside from handhelds, and it introduced me to FFX (Tidus was on Destiny Islands, and my friend and I thought his pants were ridiculous, so while reading the log where it says the original game he's from, I was like "hm, I should play this and find out why his outfit is so absurd" - thus my obsession began)
I honestly didn't really care about what I was doing in games before this one. I ran around doing whatever I was supposed to do, not bothering with side stuff (though this didn't have much side stuff going on). I dunno, after this game, I started playing all others differently, I paid attention more I guess.
But god, this story is amazing, and playing all the others and seeing how everything ties together just blows my mind.
Honestly, this is the only game series that I would go out and buy a new system for.
Oh, Birth by Sleep is on PSP? Let me just go get one.
Oh now KH3D is on the 3DS? Lemme get one of those too.
And if KH3 is ever released, and it's exclusive to the PS3? Well guess what, it looks like I'll be buying one of those as well.
Like seriously, no other game is as close to my heart as this one is, and I can't even really explain why. I love everything about it.
Oh, and KH2 or BBS are my tops in the series.


I hope you all enjoyed my list!
What are your favorite games of all time?

2013 - Top 3 Nintendo Games

I tried to make this a Top 5 but I could only find 3 games that interested me :c

No. 3 - Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Release Date: 2013?
I never played whatever one(s) came before this, but I really need to play more Mario games because I really love them.

No. 2 - Animal Crossing
Release Date: 5-1-2013
Excited for this because I wasn't allowed to have a GameCube so I never played these before but they look so fun and cute! Pretty excited for this one.

No. 1 - Pokemon X/Y
Release Date: 10-31-2013
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THESE
Pokemon has been my favorite for a long time, and they're finally gonna be in 3D!!
I'm probably going to get X because I like that legendary better.
Pretty sure that I'm also going to choose Fennekin as my starter because 1. I don't think I've chosen a fire starter since Gold and Silver or Ruby and Sapphire, 2. it's the cutest! (they're all pretty cute actually)

~*~*~*~

Let me know if there's any other Nintendo games! I couldn't find a very good list of them.

Ebay: Most Wanted

These are just a few of the things on my ebay wishlist that I really want.
The rest of my list consists of: tights, wigs, makeup, skirts, and cosplay stuff.


I have been looking at Lightning wigs for a LONG time and this one has been the only one that looks like it's really nice quality and is actually the right shade of pink.
I want it so much T~T


I want this so much! It's adorable.
This is also the only one I found that doesn't look "cheap".


Okay, obviously I'm obsessed with lucky cats and pink so this phone case is absolutely PERFECT.
I'm hopefully gonna but it within the next week.


I have been dying over this controller ever since I saw someone (who I'm now friends with) selling it one etsy but with pearls and rhinestones on it. I really want my own to do that with, omg.


Yes, yes, I know that this 99.9% most likely a bootleg, but I don't care.
It's my favorite season, besides S, and I wanna rewatch it over and over.


Strawberries and mangoes are my favorite fruits and I absolutely died over this pillow. They also make a red one but I think the pink is much cuter.
But this post made me see that the shipping is kind of a rip-off with this seller. Definitely gonna look for another one.


Yes... Lucky cats again. This time featuring Hello Kitty!
I want to get the white one and the pink one. ^o^

~*~*~*~

What kind of stuff are you guys wanting right now?

2013 - Top 5 Xbox Games

Quite a few people I follow have made a "top 5 games their looking forward to" post, and I decided to jump on the band wagon and do the same!
Except I'm probably going to do more than one, as there were too many Xbox games coming out and there's a few Nintendo games I want. So yay for separate lists!

Anyway, onwards!
(release dates are taken from GameStop.com)

No. 5 - Dead Pool
Release Date: 12-31-2013
This game looks great, and it's probably going to be hilarious.
I don't really know anything else about it because there hasn't been any new footage (that I know of).

Release Date: 4-1-2013
Okay, I love fighting games and super heroes so it's fucking awesome that they made this.
Plus, look at Harley Quinn, hot damn.

No. 3 - Devil May Cry
Release Date: 1-15-2013
I haven't played all the DMC games, but I really like what I have played and I think this game looks amazing. People bitching need to calm down, yes they changed his look but hey guess what!
It's a prequel
Get it now?

Release Date: 3-26-2013
I am so upset that they pushed this back yet again.
It was supposed to be coming out in February but I found out a week ago that, no, it's March.
I'm really excited for this because I loved the first two games.
But I'm also nervous because I dunno if they're gonna try to make it connected to the others, and then the whole world in the sky, and the weird time travel type thing.
I just hope they didn't try to make it too much and then that's all there is.

Release Date: 2013
I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THIS
I CAN NOT WAIT. I NEED AN EXACT DATE ASAP.
After XIII-2, I knew there was going to be another continuation due to the ending, but I did not think it was going to be just Lightning.
I'm really curious to see what the story is going to be and how it unfolds, because the trailer doesn't give much at all.
OH AND CAN HOPE PLEASE GTFO
I hate him so much. Plus, people need to stop shipping LightxHope.
Just stop.
Anyway, I'm a HUGE Final Fantasy fan, and I don't care how many people shit on the XIII arc, these have been some of my favorite ones.
AH THIS IS SO EXCITING

~*~*~*~

What games are you guys looking forward to?

Stuff I Bought Yesterday

I bought some things when I got paid yesterday, and I really regret it, but oh well, nothing I can do now.


Black, red/cream chevron, and dark mint skirts - Target $19.99 each
The only problem I have with them is the length (not used to it at all) and the fact that they all came with the same thin brown belt. I wish each style had come with a different belt. Especially since there's 5 different ones, did they really think that a person would want 5 belts that are exactly the same!?


(this was supposed to be horizontal)
But yay for Totoro and Team Rocket shirts!
I immediately cut the necks out after this photo.

And last, I bought some belly button rings and 2g silicone tunnels, since Spencer's has BOGO 50% off
I'm sad I missed out on the BOGO $1


I'm currently wearing the pink one ^o^

OH I FORGOT
I also bought hair dye


I didn't need developer but I couldn't pass up getting it for 99 cents!
I also bought some Frizz Control drops that are supposed to make your hair shiny too (also on sale for $1.99) and a Deep Conditioner pack for 99 cents






Forever 21 Purchase

So last Christmas (2011) and for my last birthday (2012), I received $25 F21 gift cards and today I finally used them!


My order had free shipping (as it was over $50) and I only had to pay $5 with my own money (order was $52-something + $3-something tax)
I'm really excited and nervous for this order because I love getting new necklaces but I'm scared the skirts, belt, and tights won't fit me.

Oh well, fingers crossed!

Victorian Disco

Around the same time that I bought the lip products in my previous post, I received my order from Victorian Disco. I was quite nervous about this order, having read some bad reviews on their service and a couple of iffy comments on their facebook.
Despite this, I went ahead and ordered because the collection I bought was being discontinued, therefore being ridiculously cheap (I believe each pot was $3)
Of course I purchased their Sailor Scouts inspired colors!
Here are some pictures:

Recent Makeup Buys

I've bought quite a bit of makeup in the last two weeks or so (mostly lip products) and I think I'm done for a while, so I thought it was time to make this post.
