Princess Anne Hairstyle^^

My latest tutorial on my channel^^ I've been watching 49 Days(49일) and in that drama the actress, Suh Ji Hye had this type of hairstyle and I was inspired to create a video showing how I did it^^. The base of the hairstyle is a Princess Ann braid. Basically it is two french braids and then combined into one braid. which creates this:
So, usually this is combined into a regular braid but I decided to go for a fishtail braid because I think those braids flatter me more.
I also filmed a video for my channel~^^ Here is is

So, here is my video from my channel. If you are still curious, my youtube is under soobin725. I do beauty related videos.This is my last tutorial with my long hair because I got my hair cut today~ Yay! Here is a picture of my new haircut:

Diamonds Are a Girls Bestfriend

I love jewelry. I have so much jewelry that I find myself not wearing often which is sad, but I was rummaging through my collection recently and I found that I have a rather unique collection of animal rings. Most of them are from Forever21 which is my favorite place to buy my rings from.
Here are the Animal Rings:
So, of course as you can see, I don't have many. Some of these are probably familiar because three of them were purchased from Forever21.
Here is the Lion ring I got from Forever21. This was either $3 or $4. I forgot, but I do know that this ring is still available in the stores. I saw it not too long ago^^
It has small crystals encrusted into the lions face which gives it a very unique touch to it. Its pretty heavy in weight but still wearable. It hasn't left a green mark on my finger so thats a plus.
Here is a close up of my Owl ring^^ I loveeeee this ring~ This was either a christmas or birthday gift from my sister so I don't know where or how much it was.
This ring has soooo much detail in it. As you can see from the picture, the feather scales are all carved into the ring and goes all throughout the rings design. Whoever this designer was, I give your a plus plus PLUS for the amazing detailing.
SOOOO here is the cheetah ring^^ I was really happy when I found this at Forever21. I literally found only a couple of these there. It was almost like this was being hidden hahaha. I'm thinking this was $4.80. Pretty good price considering that this one was also really detailed. It has green rinestones as eyes and its designed to look like the cheetah is wrapped around my finger. I thought that was really clever^^
Here is the close up of the bird ring. It is also a wrap ring. There was silver design with clear crystals but I thought the gold with the multo colored crytals looked prettier^^ This has a lot of detail into it as well.

So that was a peak into my jewelry collection/style. I have a ring obsession now~ hahah but its not overboard.

I make Teddy Bears^^

Hello!
So, I love to make things and I started off making hair pins and little simple things but now, I like to make more interesting things. Last summer was when I picked up crocheting. My mom taught me how to knit when I was younger but I was never taught how to crochet, so I decided to learn. Crocheting is kind of difficult for me because being a lefty (I'm left-handed^^)makes crocheting a lot more complicated than it really is. When I read a pattern, it gets confusing because everything is basically backwards. BUT, though it may get hard at times, I still find it very enjoyable. I don't crochet the typical scarf. I crochet animal dolls~^^
Tehee~ I loveeeee it. It's called Amigurumi (編みぐるみ) which means crocheted or knitted toy, in japanese. I started learning out of a book, but you can also find patterns online. Here are some examples:

star wars amigurumi~!! SO CUTE

HARRY POTTER<3
MARIO 1UP's~!!



As you can see, I am clearly a nerd hahaha, anyways, aren't they adorable~? I've made some but they are not as cute as these.
Here are the ones that I've made so far:

tehee~ I made him because I'm a Leo. His name is Lionel^^

I made these during chrismas time as presents for my family^^ I was too lazy to make their limbs.  tehee<3
 
I hope one day to make a shop. We'll see~^^

Fresh Meat! (not literally, of course) ^^

Dear readers,

Hello~!^^ I've been gone from the youtube scene for a while now huh? Well, college has been pretty busy. Lots of things to finish up before the summer. YAY~ its almost here. I have exactly one week left of school and then its FINALS. I'm kind of freaking out already! It is already the end of my freshman year in college? what?! Time goes by sooooooo quickly. I'm excited for next semester, but also pretty afraid. I'm majoring in acting so its going to be really mind boggling, but I hope to go as far as I can.

Thats it for todays ranting,

I love these Lashes~^^

So, I was having fun last friday with my false lashes and decided to put some on. I have fallen in love (again) with my Sonia Kashuk demi-lashes.  They are these:
They are perfect if you are looking for a more natural look with eye-popping lashes~ I did a simple look with these on:

These are some shots of my face makeup that I did with these lashes~^^ They really bring out my eyes and make them more doe-eyed. Tehee~<3 LOVE IT

The glue that I used was Revlons Precision Adhesive, and I must say, that eyelash glue really keeps the lashes on all~~~~~~~~ day. I had trouble peeling the lashes off after. It was on very securely. I must advise to remove the eyelashes with some makeup remover on a q-tip and then it will start to lift of your lid. That way, you will not have to experience painful tugging on your lids.
Overall, the lashes are very pretty for a pretty, natural look.

MODEL Model model~

Dear my readers,
So, this is a very random post about modeling. I've always wanted to model and walk on runways, but sadly, being only 5'5" doesn't cut it. So sad~ I know. BUT, I've done my fair share of modeling I guess. Of course not professional modeling, but just at-home photoshoots and random picture taking I guess~^^
Here are a few of my "photoshoots" that I wanted to share with you all:
This was after I was experimenting with my halloween makeup. I was praticing the Geisha look that Michelle Phan did for her halloween tutorial. So, this was my working look. I like that angle of my face. Like all models, I have a particular angle that I like to take pictures of. I know that sounds funny, but honestly, I like this angle better than the other angle heheheh^^

Now, this was taken during my freshman year in highschool. I was playing around wearing my moms heels and then I decided to put my leg on the towel hanger hahaha. Again, the same angle. I looks a little wierd because my arm looks non-existent but at least this isn't a professional photoshoot, other wise, like on ANTM, one of the judges would say that I look like an amputee T-T Overall, this is one of my favorite pictures.
Voila~! This is another favorite of mine. This was taken spontaneously after I drew a mask on my face using cream liner~ HAHA. Its Loreal H.I.P. Cream liner, by the way. This was my senior picture by the way. My school would let the seniors turn in any picture of themselves for their senior picture in the yearbook. Its a way to express our own styles and artistic ways~ This was taken by by sister by the way^^

I have more, but so far, I will let you all see these. In my life, not only does beauty and skincare matter. I like to apply them to my amateur modeling~^^
