Treat Yo' Self & Cosplay Update!

Hey guys! I'm so, so, so, SO, SOOOOOO sorry I feel off the face of the Earth again. Truth is, not a whole lot of fun and exciting things have been happening! I spent my entire winter break at home hanging out and relaxing with family. I also took an online class, so that pretty much took up all my free time.


BUT! It's a new year, a new semester, and a new, more blog devoted Kenzie! I promise I'll be updating a lot more in the future!!! A big thank you to the people that have still checked in on the daily to see if there's been new posts. You guys rock!

SO HERE'S THE UPDATES!

I just got back up to school and decided to have a TREAT YO' SELF day with my friend! (DISCLAIMER: Before splurging on the few things in this bag, I was a responsible adult and bought my textbooks for the semester and groceries. Because, as sad as it is, you can't live on expensive makeup.) We went out, had lunch, and went to Ulta. The wonderful makeup wonderland.
I LOVE ULTA. This has been a recent development. Normally, I just threw on some mascara for makeup and called it a day, but now, I LOVE doing my makeup. It has become a recent hobby. Mostly because of a Youtuber named Bunny, AKA Grav3yardgirl. Her videos are amusing, interesting, and informative! If you're just getting into makeup, or just want to get some advice on product, she's GREAT at actually giving in-depth reviews!! Check em out here

Anywho! The first thing I bought was more of a necessity rather than a treat yo self splurge, but it's new tweezers! 
Like a goober, I forgot to pack my awesome tweezers that I love so much...So, unless I want woolly mammoths for eyebrows, I NEEDED a pair of tweezers. The second thing I bought was kind of a splurge...
It's winter y'all. My lips have deeper cracks than the Grand Canyon. Now when I say I've tried everything to help moisturize my lips, I mean EVERYTHING. I just can't seem to find anything that would help. Perusing around Ulta, I remembered there was some blush by Too Faced that I wanted to look at, but ended up finding this instead. 
I am absolutely impressed with this lip balm! Normally, other lip balms tend to make my lips crack more and I have to consantly apply and reapply the balms. But not this! It's like one and done! 
 Seriously! This stuff is amazing! If you have dried cracked lips I definitely recommend this balm!



Too Faced "La Crème" Lip Balm - $22 








That was my splurge of the day! Not much, but it was a treat! 

The second treat was Taylor Swift's new album 1989. I was hoping to get the deluxe edition for Christmas, but no luck :/ I'm just glad to finally have a copy! Don't care who you are, love her or hate her, the girl has good and catchy songs :3


Another treat yo' self was from a far today. Since I'm back at school, I have to wait months to be able to visit my favorite comic book store back home :( BUT my amazing fiancé is back home and able to make runs for me! Today he ran over to our local store and picked up a newly released POP! figure that I've been wanting for a LONG time!! 


Isn't she CUTE!?!?!

Am I a lucky girl or what!? He fought through lunch time traffic and parked 5 stores down (because the comic book store was having a Magic the Gathering tournament today) JUST to get me this POP! Now THAT is true love :D Over the break, we also picked up Discord! HE'S HUGE!

Pretty soon, we'll have ALL the Pony POPs! These are some of my most favorite things to collect :3

My last stop of the day was to the bestest store of all...


That's right, I went to Hobby Lobby for exactly what you think. The Chuckie Finster cosplay I've been promising! 

Better late than never, right you guys??? Sorry it took so long, but as you're reading this, know that I'm working on it right now, and I'll have a tutorial posted by tomorrow!! It should be fairly simple and quick to throw together! I'll have step by step pictures to make up for the long wait.
