Obon Festival #2!

So I attended another Obon Festival once again! This one was the last weekend of July. I don't know why, but I think that Obon Festivals are super fun. 

Below are some pictures that Jessica, Ray, and I took at the Obon Festival: 

 Ray in the white hat, and Hajime in green, at a yogurt place. 

 Cute yogurt place. Too bad it was cash only. 

 Some cakes at a local Korean Market. 

 I thought the children looked so adorable in their Yukatas! 

 The drummer! 

 People dancing. 

 I love lanterns. 

 This little girl in red was wearing converses! So cute! 

 This was really cute, the little girl had a bow of hair! 

I will have to see if I'm going to be able to attend anymore of these Obon Festivals later this year! We had a blast though! :) 

I'm so picky that it's quite ridiculous.

So I painted my nails last week. I don't usually paint my finger nails, because I find that when I doing random things around the office, or at home, my nails have a tendency to chip, even if I put 2 layers of top coat. Which is why I paint my nails on the weekend, and then it lasts all weekend, and come Monday, when it's time for work, I just simply take it off. 

Essie's Really Red: 

 Excuse my messy desk. I was having one of those days. 

This is by far my favorite polish for the summer. It's bright and vibrant, and it only takes 2 coats to have a nice layer. I'm wearing this on my toes right now. I've actually just been reapplying it on my toes for the last couple of weeks. 

I remember when I first bought this polish at TJ Maxx for a mere $2.80! But now I get it for $3 without tax. Which is still not bad, considering that Ulta and Target sell this sucker for $7.79 to $8. Love love love this polish! Get this at Ulta, or at Target, I usually get mines at this tiny little nail supply shop in Westminster. 

By the way, there are only 3 more days to enter my Apothica giveaway!!! :) 

Jewelmint Purchase!

So I recently decided to pick up a piece from Jewelmint because I kept hearing about if from everyone. Basically a lot of youtubers, and bloggers were raving about how amazing their pieces were, so I had to pick up a piece! The good thing is that there are codes sometimes that you can use. I used MAV5 to give me 50% off my first piece. I should have bought something earlier when they had their BOGO Free promo, but I didn't know about that until afterwards.

I have to admit the packaging is very cute! I love the whole blue green box, with black bow.

 A little more about the necklace itself:

 And the necklace:

 I wanted to show you guys how the necklace looks like with flash, because it's so freaking pretty! And the nuggests are different sizes as well. Which is really pretty! 

Here is my video showing you guys the necklace: 

I know I said I was going to do an outfit of the day with the DIY skirt I made, but last weekend was kind of insane. I will try to do the OOTD as soon as I get a chance. Possibly this week, or maybe this weekend! And I will be featuring this necklace as soon as I get a chance. 

Whitening Products Set back

So basically this is what happened: I went to the fair on Friday, so my nose got burnt, and then I went to the beach on Sunday so I got even more tanned. But I'm back on the bandwagon of whitening. I'm hoping to get down to an NC30 by the end of summer. Let's hope that I can get down to that color. As of right now, I think I'm back to NC40, because of my stupidity of not putting on SPF.

So let's do a review of my SPF sunscreen Spray! So I picked this up in May when I went hiking with my friend. I had only used it that one time when we went hiking, and then I used it again when I went to the beach. I did not put sunscreen on my face, because I don't want my face to feel disgusting and sticky. But I did put the spray on my arms, legs, and back. I believe this sunscreen cost a little less than $7 at a grocery store. I'm not crazy about putting sunscreen anywhere on myself, since I usually don't leave my car, or my house that much anyway. I'm usually in a room, or my car, so I don't see the point of going outside as much.

Topcare Sunscreen: 

Ingredients, ETC: 

Unfortunately for me, this weekend was brutal, seeing as how I was in the sun on Friday for 6 hours continually. And then on Sunday I was in the sun for 4 hours. I actually found out that in my car, I had been carrying my sunscreen that is in lotion formula. I think I'm going to use that more often now. Most of my makeup has SPF in it anyway, so I think that's a good sign that at least when I wear makeup, I don't have to worry about applying a layer of sunscreen beneath, or above.

I'm not sure if I would purchase this sunscreen again, because my friend had trouble applying it on herself and myself, she kept pressing down on it, and I told her that she had to press at the very back, but she kept putting her finger near the front. At least when applied it has a cooling affect.
