Unboxing and styling | Heir of Glee Tees

I'm so excited and happy about this purchase! So if you of Heir of Glee, a NYC based artist and gyaru, she has been selling her designs on tee shirts and stuff and I needed getting one of her designs! I should have gotten one of the chokers she used to make to go with the tee but that's okay. Anyway onto the box!
So here is the packaging. It's so nice and neat and love that it's not in a big ass box. It comes with her business card, a cute hand written note one her own stationary and the shirt!

JUST LOOK AT THE CUTE NOTE!! (≧∇≦)
The fabric feels like a combination of neoprene aka scuba material and a silky cotton which is AMAZING 💖 The design is really cool and didn't fade at all on the first wash! Super high quality comfy tee. 

And here's how I styled it: 

Fun fact: I did 2 other outfits and took all the pictures and made this post and then my phone deleted everything on itself by accident during an IPhone restore 😓

It's been a while!

Wow. I haven't posted in about 2 months but I have been saving pictures and projects and footage the whole time I swear haha. Anyway, I'm just glad i'm starting this year off on a good start one blog post at a time! I've been working hard in my studies and at work and I'll tell you right now, IT'S PAYING OFF! Not only do I have a B average, but my bank account is poppin' even with my Sephora addiction going rampant. SOOOOO here's what I've been doing lately in a nutshell!

End of October
Halloween I went to school as Baby Spice which strangely was a hard decision because I was NOT in the Halloween spirit so I couldn't make up my minnndddd. But it was between Scary or Baby spice and I probably could have pulled off Mel's look better but I still felt really cute. For ACTUAL Halloween, I was Bulma from Dragon Ball Z and I was so happy cause the security guards and my co-workers knew who I was. ^u^ I might re-do the dress and wear it to a con but idk bout that...

Best outfit + face of the month

November
I spent some time working hard and rewarding myself by spending time with my hs mains and my inkling babe Selena for ramen for Black Friday and on free days from work. I also went to a casual lolita swap meet at a friend's house sadly I came SUPER late so I didn't get to do much but I did stay long enough for my friend Kiara to give me some cute knee highs and the white cat dress which fits like a god damn glove <3 I also love the look I did in the Chinese button up and slightly geisha inspired hair. For thanksgiving, I spent time at Sammy's and slept over for like 3 days and I took a glamor shot in my onesie ☺️




December
All of December my makeup was poppin something fierce?! Ohh Yess and I have spending alarming amounts of money on makeup to point where I'm only 2-4 trips away from the highest rewards card at Sephora, VIB ROUGE. Anyway December is more of a selfie dump 😅


This year has been a interesting roller coaster and a half man. It definitely feels like there were 2 parts to this year and it got a bit crazy in my personal life but I'm moving into the new year on better notes. 
Bye bye 2015. 
See you on my next post 😘 -Erica

Thrift shop visit

I went to the thrift shop today for the first time in like months and I only bought cute red stuff. Weird, right?


First of is this rugby jersey I found with the adidas tag in tact! I wish I had found a soccer jersey since my brother and I are pretty into it now but that's okay. If I don't keep it I can totally sell it so it's great no matter what I do with it!😁


Next is this cute lady bug looking sweater. It could be a really cute accent for a Lolita coord  so it was worth it for 2.99$



New is my favorite find in a long time. My brother and I have been complaining about the strange disappearance of all out dishes and silverware so I got a cute Halloween pumpkin mug! It's gonna be my fave once I clean it. 

And here's my OOTD

I hope you liked this little haul! I'll see you soon 💋

Geocoloeredlens.com Review

Hey sweeties, I almost never do reviews especially for lenses so I decided to switch it up a bit.
To my disappointment, change might not have been a good thing.
There were a lot of complications with my order.  I ordered black lenses along with 2 other lenses in a combo pack August 16th and it took until August 28th to tell me they were discontinued. They let pick a new lenses but those were out of stock and would take another 1-2 weeks for them to get the lenses. By then I was aggravated to all hell.(。-_-。) I pick yet another lens and my order confirmed on September 2th. I FINALLY got my package Sept 25th and I had some hope still left that these lenses would be nice. 

 

All of the packaging looked nice standard and they gave me a cute little macaron case thingy (*^_^*) I got 3 lenses:

 
Geo Cherry Holic Green YH-303
Geo Luna Violet CM-721
Geo Starmish Brown XKP-304

At first I felt like these were a little too opaque but after trying them with some makeup and lashes, it reminded me of Seri-chan. Now, I kinda love them. I just wish in natural light it was a little less of a reddish brown.

I would use these if I do my Raven cosplay again because when I had originally done it I had lenses similar to these and I think one was defective because I couldn't put them in my eyes without some sort of pain and crying. It actually kinda happened to this one too idk how but I can still wear them. One is just a little blurry in the corner of my eye.  Of all of them I wanted this one to be more opaque and less natural 😒 but either way they aren't large enough and don't don't suit the purpose I bought them for. I'm giving it an average rating cause they are bearable and feel like regular lenses but aesthetically, it didn't blow me out of the water.

  At first I really didn't like how reptile-y I looked in them but with makeup it's a bit nicer and a little spoopy 😈 I wanted a more natural look with these which again, I didn't get but it still looks good and still serves its purpose. 

Selfies in each! 
Lol surprise selfie when I got my iPhone 6s

I hope you enjoyed this review and I'll see you later! 💋

Pink Ribbon Sweater DIY

Hey hunnie bunnies! Since I've been trying for a more cute style I brought this cute sweater from the thrift store for a DIY! I think I'm gonna be doing more sewing and DIY stuff since I think it's easier to document the process.


I hope you enjoyed this simple little project! If you try it out, comment the link to tag me on Instagram @juusanyearoldmind

Recent makeup + updates


Hehe yep. Selfie dump. It's been a really good month for my eyebrows 😂 I've been feeling really good about work and keeping my life and sanity together and all of that. I'm getting back into YouTubeing a bit more regularly and sewing as well. My next post will be about the recent sweater DIY I did. If you have me on Facebook then you'll have seen it already. But yeah just a little update to say I'm not dead :)
