Japonesque Set Bag and Melting lipsticks

I realized I needed a set bag to get myself more organized for school. The Japonesque Set Bag is amazing and it has so many pockets to organize all my bottles. I got this bag at Naimies Beauty Center and its a huge place. I thought Nigels was amazing Naimies is even better I have to admit. They carry all sorts of brands like NARS, MAC, Kryolan and much more.

Japonesque Pro Set Bag
Cost:30
Rating: 5 Stars
Inside the bag it has 2 large pockets on each side of bag.

On the outside of the bag it has 8 pockets. The ones on the side have velcro.
It has two handles and an attachable strap.


This was my first time melting lipsticks and as I thought the best way to melt them is to melt it over a candle on a metal spoon. Well...that wasn't a great idea and it was a huge awful mess.
--So here is my method of melting my lipsticks--
1. Chop off a piece of your lipstick and place it one of the slits of the palette
2. Get a Q-tip cut off one of the ends
3. Use the stick to puncture the lipstick and rub it back and forth. The resistance will cause the lipstick to melt in the slit and it will start to breakdown.
4. Try to spread the lipstick out evenly and voila!!
5. Take the ends of the cotton swab and clean up around the slit =)

Professional Makeup Case

So this week I went to my school and took a little tour. It was really small but interesting you can say. I paid 20 dollars to park in Hollywood just to take a tour at my school freaking ridiculous right? So as I'm walking to my school im actually walking over the Hollywood stars and I was like whoa haha. There was a lot of tourists everywhere. (You know there tourists when they dont watch where they're going they look up when they walk.) So I got a list of things I needed for school and one of the items was an Aluminum Makeup case so I got on YAZMO.COM and got me this case

I fell in love with this case. It's quite big and spacious and I love the sleek black look.

Here it is opened without the trays folded out. As you can see I put my red cherry falsies in already. RED CHERRY EYELASHES AMAZING UPDATE COMING SOON!!

It folds out into 6 trays


This is how big it looks next to me. I'm a small girl so I'm scared once I have all my makeup supplies in it how the hell I'm going to pick it up. It already weighs about 10 lbs by itself.


Nyx Jumbo Pencils in Milk and Slate
Lashes I bought at a korean store
This is some stuff I got down in Fashion District in downtown L.A. There was this store there that sold makeup that the packaging was VERY similar to MAC. They also sold brushes that were about 6 dollars. I was thinking long and hard should I buy it but then I looked closely to the craftsmanship in the brushes and I wasn't very happy so I'll just save up for MAC brushes. I think it will be an invesment for me since I'm going to be a makeup artist.

--Update On My Life--
Lately I've been hanging out with my sister. I have two so im always hanging out with one or the other so I never have time to blog or do Youtube videos anymore. I'm like there little pet that they want to take everywhere lol. My sister Linda and I have been going to all kinds of places like, Chinatown, Koreatown, and Fashion District. Hopefully my sisters will soon feel like they dont have to take me everywhere so I can start doing Youtube videos again =)
