It's been a while... (Warning: Image heavy o(´^｀)o)

Man it's been such a long time since I updated this thing! :0

To be honest, I really did not want to go this long on my blog without posting ANYthing at ALL. =/ But you know how the trials of life just keep you busy, tired and/or unmotivated sometimes. :(

So much has happened since my last post that I pretty much just forgot about pink-choco-doll, and even though I'd here people telling me that I needed to post more, I just didn't have a chance to do so because of...well, life.

And for that, I am very sorry. :'((

But I wanna start the new year off right by just giving a little update and  a recap of my life and events during the past couple of months starting with October. :)

Saturday's Code + make! xD

On saturday panda and I spent the entire day together! It was teh awesome-ness.

I had soooo much fun. I swear whenever I am with my panda bear, everything is just peachy!
I decided to go for a sassy gyaru look since we were going to a restaurant later that night:

(sorry for the darkness >.<)
Top: Dots
Shorts: Target
Leggings: Can't remember :(
Shoes: Target

My make-up was pretty daring too, since I've been starting to layer my lashes!! They've been looking so much better since I started this.
I first layered them for this look a while back:

Tried it a second time and it turned out even better!  :

(pictures edited with picnik lol xD)

Face: Fashion Fair Foundation + Concealer stick in "Pure Brown"
Eye shadow: Milani Baked Eye Shadow in "606 - Drenched in Gold"
Eye liner:  Maybelline New York Eye Studio Lasting drama Gel eyeliner in "Blackest Black" with Hard Candy Walk the Line Glitter eyeliner in "dream girl"
Top lashes: Ebay!
Bottom lashes: Diamond Lash Series 2: No. 5 Princess Eye

Lip color: MAC lipglass in "Pink Poodle"  layered with random glittery pink forever 21 lip gloss :p

Me and panda went to Botanas Mexican Restaurant in Milwaukee for our date.♥

No one's smile is as mischievous as his! 


Panda got a huge burrito while I ordered 3 yummy tacos:

These were so EFFIN good. I regret nothing. 

By the time we got back it was dark out, so panda took a photo of me gazing upon the beautiful city lights:

I am totally at peace when he and I have days like this. I know it's all mushy but I seriously don't know what I'd do without him. He is my best friend, someone who has been there for me when no one else has...I couldn't ask for anyone better. ♡＾▽＾♡




Tomorrow I'll be going to a modeling casting, and I'm excited yet nervous. <=/ Though I love the idea of modeling, I realize that I'm definitely not the most gorgeous chip off the 'ole block, lol. Anyway, I will go and hope for the best outcome! Wish me luck, my lovelies♥♥♥

My panda bear and I~♥

WARNING: This is a very mushy gushy lovey dovey post, in celebration of Valentine's day. So if you don't like that stuff...you are really going to hate this! haha :p

-----------------------------------------

Valentine's day is here! And I get to celebrate for the second year in a row!! 

Something that I thought would never ever happen to someone like me.

I used to be a true "Ugly Betty" back in middle school and part of high school, lol. I was just sure I'd never ever find anyone who wanted to be with me or could even love me.

But then my panda came along and changed all that!♥

Gifts I got from my babe: pink monkey plushie, sweet card, yummy chocolate, cool picture frame and a beautiful red rose. And he even treated me out to a movie too! d=(´▽｀)=b

I love the cute little pink monkey plushie...I fall asleep holding it close to me every single night.♥

Now that I'm with someone I love, it's like I see love everywhere. haha 

Heart shaped celery that I found in my soup the other day ｡◕‿◕｡

Coconut cupcakes that spell out "LOVE"! :3

 Heart shaped cookies I made at work..these were incredibly yummy!

The story of how my boyfriend and I met is so crazy, almost like out of a movie. To this day it's still kinda hard to believe.

We were both introduced to one another via this website. 

(An asian website, but somehow we both found each other instead of asian folks! haha)
Anyhoo, we introduced ourselves to each other on that site. At that time I had no clue what he looked like, because he had a character from Naruto as his avatar. :p

Then we'd both gravitated to facebook. We'd messaged one another from time to time, but nothing more. I found out that he was actually the same race as I was, which was surprising considering the original site we met on was mainly asians of course. xD

Then one day he passed by me in his car as I stood on the bus stop near my house, preparing to go to work.
I hadn't known he'd passed me until I got home and he'd sent a message on facebook saying, "I saw a girl earlier who looked just like you. Weird."
One thing led to another and we ended up exchanging numbers and then meeting in person! :D

We both hit it off very well instantly, and attraction grew quickly!
We'd spend hours and hours out on our dates usually.
We even spent the entire day with each other on one of our dates..twelve full hours. That was the longest I'd ever spent hanging out with anyone. It was truly amazing, and the most fun I'd had in a really long time.
At the end of that night, he kissed me. ♥

Turns out that he had been living only 10 minutes away from me for the past 6 years, and his job was right around the corner from my house...and the bus stop that I'd stood at for the past two years.
(Yes, I am super car-less. haha)
Yet our paths had never crossed until that glorious day.♥

Both of us suffered a lot emotionally before meeting one another, but every since we've been together we've been so much happier. We've been through a lot together already, which lets me know that he'll always be here for me, as I will with him.
Our relationship has been a reminder to me that good things in life will come, in their due time. ^_~

WTF I look like a such a man here....щ(゜ロ゜щ)

I can't believe we've lasted a year and almost 3 months already...I've never met anyone like him before. He's my best friend and he means the world to me. The first and only guy I've ever fallen in love with! I'm so happy that we've come this far...and I hope to go even further. ヽ(○´∀`)ﾉ♪

Huge teddy bear that he bought me one time..I named him Mr. Rudero. :D

My love sleeping so peacefully♥

I am happy that I don't have to be forever alone and bitter on V-day anymore...or any day, for that matter..because I finally have someone to share life with. At last! ♥

Dolly Wink lash review~♥

Ugh this blog is so belated. (´Д` ) I hate being busy!!!! lol anyhoo..it took me forevvvvvers but I finally went ahead and bought Tsubasa’s Dolly Wink eyelashes. With her being one of my favorite models I’m like a weird fangirl since I am attempting to try out nearly everything she makes. I’d been holding back on the lashes because of the price, but I found them on Sasa for only $14 and some change, including shipping!

They came in the mail on the same day that panda and I were going to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie (which was sooo good, by the way..even better than the first one!), so I decided to wear them with my look!♥

Top: Forever 21
Skirt: Wet Seal

Purse: My Flat in London

Also was inspired to do a beehive look for my hair..saw it in Ageha so I wanted to try it out too!:

^^Of course it ended up getting flat by the end of the night since I rested my head up against panda during the movie..haha :p

lol I love how happy panda looks in this picture :D

Now about the lashes!
I ended up getting No. 1: Dolly Sweet style, which is the cutest option in my humble opinion. Of course it comes with two pairs, a tube of glue and even instructions as to how to put them on.

These lashes are very light-weight and dolly-ish, hence the name. The hair also feels quite natural as well which is another plus! One thing about them though is that the lash band is super duper long…one of the reasons why I wanted to try them as well. Obviously my eyes are very large and whenever I wear falsies I can never find any that stretch across my entire lash line, which can be frustrating. Others may want to trim these down a bit, but I personally found them just right!

The lash band is also clear, which is also something I love. A clear lash band makes it easier to blend into make-up and the ‘fake-ness’ is not as apparent. Also it seems as if they stay on your eyes for a much longer period of time.

Eyes: Almay intense i-color smokey eye shadow in "Trio for hazels 023"

Face: Revlon Photo Ready Foundation in 'Cappuccino'

Lips: Iman Luxury Lip Shimmer in "Decadent" layered over Covergirl Queen Collection lipstick in "Burgendelicious"

☆彡★彡HAPPY FACE☆彡★彡 

• Light-weight and flexible - Whenever I wear a pair of falsies and I can't feel them on my eyelids at all, I am pretty much immediately in love. That's exactly how these were, they were as light as a feather! They didn't make my lids feel heavy or create that weird "visor shade" type thing that certain types of lashes tend to do. It was easy for me to forget that I had them on at times! They were also very flexible, probably because the lash band itself is quite thin. The great flexibility made it so easy to apply to my eyes!  ヾ（*⌒ヮ⌒*）ゞ

• Long lash band - As many of you can already tell by now, I have some pretty large eyes lol.  Because of this often times I run into the issue of falsies having a lash band that is too short to stretch across my lash line, which is really annoying. >-< One of the reasons I wanted to try Dolly Wink is because the lashes are much longer than usual ones, and even though it still didn't cover my lash line completely, these are the only lashes I've tried that extend as far as they do! The longer band makes my lashes look as if they are applied much better, imo. As I stated before, people who have smaller eyes may want to trim them a bit, but they were fine the way they were for me. 

• Dainty and girlish style - Wearing these seemed to give my eyes a much more innocent and dainty girly look, which I liked a lot actually!♥ The lashes are thicker towards the outer corners of them, which creates a cute little curly flair thingamabob that I simply adore, and that went really well with my eye shape. Tsubasa's make in general is usually very light and dainty, so these are perfect if you are going for a sweet angelic look.

☆彡★彡SAD FACE☆彡★彡

• Not very bold; Doesn’t “pop” - Oh, how this was to my disappointment. =/ I think that, depending on your eye shape, these can be some very bold and dramatic lashes. But for my eyes, besides creating a little curl and flare at the end, they were honestly pretty light and not noticeable in appearance. I wasn't expecting to look exactly like Tsubasa of course, but I was expecting a little bit more of an "oomph".

• Ugh, the glue!! - Ohhhh my gooooodnesss I hated the glue. In my personal opinion, it was horrible! The texture was like a gross cottage cheese type of thing going on, and once it "dried" (which it seemed to be dry once I squeezed it out) it wasn't very sticky at all. I placed the lash on my eye and it fell right back off after I blinked. Dislike!! I tend to wear my lashes for long hours and often with my lenses. When I wear my lenses I also use eye drops, so I need a strong glue that will be able to hold up against moisture. Maybe I just got a bad batch of it, but I certainly won't be using it again..I'll stick to my usual ardell lash grip.

MY RATING (OUT OF 5 HEARTS):

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 1/2

4 ½ hearts

I actually kinda liked my ebay ones a little bit better than these when it comes to appearance because they are much more bold, which is something I want in order to create the look I’m going for. Regardless though I think I would probably buy these again..they’re definitely quality lashes and I prefer more of those than the cheapie ones.

My most favorite thing about these though would of course be the clear and long lash band! It is total and complete love! There are two pairs and I’ve seen so many tutourials about how to layer lashes, so…maybe I will put them to use now in an effort to make these appear much more bold. ♥ 

Have you tried any of the Dolly Wink lashes or products? How do you feel about them? ｡◕‿◕｡
