Meeting with other Gurus!

Hey my lovlies!

So its been a little while..>.< Im sorry! Its recently been spring break and i've been so busy doing many things! I met up with two gurus from YouTube who are also from the UK and we had soo much fun! Both girls are so lovely and unique in their own way, they were both so much fun! My newest update video says it all though, it will be in the sidebar if you want to watch it! ^_^
What have you guys been up to recently? =)

<3

This is a picture of Kelly (YouTube name KellyXSunshineDrops) and I at my hometown, we went shopping for the day and bought some really cute things! n_n My nost recent update video explains everything! She also drew me a gorgeous picture of me! She is so talented and cute!! Thank you Kelly!

Also, i met with Jessica who is also on YouTube (DazzleDust08), and I visited her home town and we also went shopping and we went to the cinema to see the film 'Remember Me'. Have any of you guys seen it? =) It stars Robert Pattinson!(For all of hs fans!) haha~ XD

<3

This is us, and also a picture here in the cinema:

^_^

We had a huge popcorn but couldnt finish it all! >.<
Jessica is so friendly, cute and down to earth! She is also soo easy to get on with! I felt nervous before meeting, and i felt perfectly fine within a few minutes! hehe! Both of these gorgeous girlies are so lovely!

If you havent visited their YouTube pages yet, please do!

A little while a go as well i posted a video inspired by an Ulzzang look, i never got round to posting a blog post about it.. Sorry about that! But basically this is the look:



I love earmuffs! They are such a cute accessory! Not that i can wear them in the spring and summer seasons hehe.. XD




I LOVE this look and i have started wearing it every day! But for my eyes i do a different design every day! Yes every day! I have been pretty creative with my make up and this look... I base my eyeshadow colours on my mood or by what colour clothes i wear. (All thanks to the costal scents palette!) I will be doing a few more tutorials on eyeshadow looks inspired by the Ulzzang look! ^_^ Do you guys like it? And also because i wear my make up like this every day... does that make me an Ulzzang? =)

I really like the contacts too, i think they are a nice effect but of course i dont wear them every day!


~ ~ ~


Again, as you probably all know i have had my hair cut and im loving it! The thing is i havent taken any pictures of it so i cant post them... But i've had lots of people say they like it and it makes me so happy to know that! Thank you every one!


~ ~ ~


Ahh I passed over 1000 subbies on YouTube.. WOW! O.o What can i say! I am so shocked so many people like to watch my videos! I've been on YouTube for about 5 months now so i am very happy and so grateful i reached 1000 so fast, its an amazing feeling knowing i have so many supporters, there are so many wonderful people on YouTube, and i must say i have learnt so much and i think YouTube has changed my life! (As crazy as that sounds) Obviously not in a dramatic way... But I've learnt so many things from people, its a place to really understand people from all over the world! And i've met so many people with similar interests and so manykind people who are really supporting me closely, there are too many to name! But you know who you are and i love you to bits! ^_^ <3

I have so many more exciting ideas for videos coming up so i really look forward to having time to get them recorded!


~ ~ ~


One more thing also, in my last post i was having worries about what do do about choosing the right uni, and in the end i did decide on the University i want to go to ^_^ Im happy all the decision making is over! For personal reasons im not going to say the university.. Sorry guys!

I hope every one is well!
All the best!
Much Love,
Alice

So i think Spring has finally arrived in England... Well there have been a few sunny days, but more so rain and coldness still... Ohh i really dislike English weather seriously T-T I love the sun and heat the most, i'm a summer girl! And I live in a country where both Spring and Summer seem to last only 3-4 months out of the twelve! If that... ~_~

I did do a Spring look inspired by all the lovely colours of spring though! ^_^ if you haven't seen it already you can see it in the sidebar!

~ ~ ~

I'm really happy to say all my accessories have arrived for my next make up look, i really can't want to create it and show you all so i hope you will enjoy it! I hope for it to be up sometime this week/next weekend. =)


~ ~ ~


I also bought a new dress recently which i absolutely LOVE! So i might do a video on 'going out' looks or outfits =) What do you think?

Oh, speaking of new things, i also have a new mobile phone ^_^ I love it! Some of you may recognise it from somewhere...



Yes, its a Samsung Genio Touch! I love mobile phones... How sad of me... -_-; but i think they complete a persons style, thats why i had to have this baby! Its small and cute and it comes in PINK!! PInk! ♥ Wowiee!! ^___^
I saw it on the drama 'You're Beautiful' and fell in love with it so i had to have it...

Even 2PM are endorsed it! O.o


Wooooooow..!~~ I love 2PM ^_^ I love so many K-Pop groups... ♥


~ ~ ~


Ok... One last thing, exams are approaching fast! Nooo! >.< So i have a lot of revision to do before then... I may be a little busy, but i will try not to let it affect my videos and things. =)

I also have to choose the university i want to go to now, all of them have replied to me and i have to choose which one i will go to out of my two favourites, its such a difficult choice... Because i love them both, but there are pros and cons for both... What do i do? T-T Any advice?


Hope all of you are doing well!
Take care and enjoy Spring to the fullest!
Much love for you all!

P.S: Oh and a big BIG thanks to all you who commented on my last post about my fear of doing the presentation! Your kind words really helps me to do my best at the presentation! You have filled me with confidence, i cant thank you enough, you've really helped me! I will let you all know how it goes! ^_^
*Hugs!*

Phobias...

Hello everyone!

So i dont know about you... But i know i have a really bad phobia, i think its called 'Glossophobia' which means you have the fear of public speaking. I know for a fact i have this!!

I have a presentation which is coming up faster than i can imagine and i am not prepared at all! Ok so its next friday, however i haven't even made the presentation yet because every time i sit at the computer and get motivated to do it i just want to cry because of how scared i am of doing this presentation! T-T

I know so many people are scared of standing in front of people and talking, but there are going to be so many people there, and i am not a confident person when it comes to talking in front of people... I know that might sound a bit strange because i am on Youtube so i can't possibly be shy, but talking to a camera is a lot easier than having all eyes staring at you expecting a good presentation... Oh my god i am so scared guys!! T-T
Does any one have any advice how i can conquer my fear of this?? Has any one ever been in this situation?

The presentation has to be around 15- 30 minutes, thats one hell of a long one! Its about a topic which i chose, so i guess im confident in that respect. Its actually about Japanese schooling and the reason for underachievement. I had to write a 6000 word essay on it and now this... -_-;

I hope maybe you guys could give me some words of wisdom! ^_^

~ ~ ~

On youtube i have posted my newest video which is my 500 subscribers giveaway!! (if its not there yet, it will be very soon!) And im so happy to have reacherd over 500 yey! So i hope you will check it out!!

Here are the prizes for you people who want a closer look!
The girls prize: Plus Japanese goodies! ^_^



The boys prize: Plus Japanese sweeties too!


~ ~ ~

Also as for the giveaway on my blog for all my lovely followers, i am just waiting for the giveaway prizes to arrive as i had to order them =)

I hope every one is having a wonderful week, unlike me full of panic and fear for next week!
I am also getting my grades tomorrow for the January exams i did... Im so nervous!! >.<

Much Love everyone!

Most recent update: You're Beautiful, make up and Twitter!

Hey girlies! ♥

Thank you for reading! Hehe!~

So recently with school i have been really motivated to do all my school work because as a reward i treat myself to watching the drama 'Youre Beautiful'! Unfortunately i have almost finished it now... =( I dont ever want it to end! Im praying there is a Season two!! ^__^



If you haven't seen this drama yet i DEFINITELY recommend you watch it! n_n Trust me, its not to be missed! I am in love with it! <3

So its basically about these guys, and girl:


From left to right: Kang Shin Woo, Hyung Tae Kyung, Go Mi Nam (girl), Jeremy.

Its about the girl (Go Mi Nyu) pretending to be her brother (because he is in hospital) and entering the band Ajell. She is only there for a limited time however, until her brother can join. Sorry i cant explain it well!

Aren't they so good looking? The guys i mean, i am soo for Shin Woo! I must say i loved all the guys in this, but Shin Woo is my favourite.. <3 Why does it have to be the good guys that treat the girl so nicely that get turned away... It makes me feel so sad...
But this story has endless excitement, twists, turns and love. It will make you addicted to it completely!

If you've seen it, what do you think? =) And whos your favourite character?

I'm thinking when i finish this drama im going to miss it too much... Does any one have an recommendations of more amazing dramas similar to this one or Hana Yori Dango? (Japanese version of Boys Over Flowers) These two dramas are my all time favourites...


~ ~ ~


I'm thinking because i almost have 20 followers that i might have a mini giveaway just to say thank you! ^_^ What do you think? It will only be mini, like some little cute things to give away, but im just so appreciative, i dont know how to repay you all!

Also, on Youtube im thinking of having a contest if i reach 500 subbies, i already have an idea for the prize too ^_^ Hehe!~


~ ~ ~


I now have Twitter ^_^ that i actually use hehe!
I update regularly!

http://twitter.com/alicechan9


~ ~ ~


I hope to do another make up tutorial on Youtube soon as i seem to be lacking them these days!
I have so many requests to get through! ^_^ But i love requests hehe!


~ ~ ~


I also have a new favourite product!!

Its Max Factor Masterpiece High Definition Mascara:



it is simply AMAZING for natural looking eyes. You know me right? I'm a 'natural' make up person, so i love my subtle looks! This mascara is perfect!! The brush is not really a brush, it is like little soft plastic 'spikes' (haha!~ XD) so this mascara does not clump at all! Even if you try its impossible to make your lashes clump and thats why i love it so much! It applies the mascara evenly creating subtle, natural looking lashes. Amazing!

Each one of these is worth around £8-£10, and i got 4 from ebay for £7.50! I feel so lucky!! n_n A very good deal! Hehe!~


So yeah, thats my update for now! Might just watch another episode of You're Beautiful before sleeping ;) hehe!

Take care every one!
And again, thank you for taking your time to read my blog, it means a lot! ^_^
o(^_^)o *hugs!*
Much Love,
Alice

Back To School...

Hello every one!

So i've just had half term which is a week long holiday (for those who live out side of the UK) and it was so lovely to be able to rest and have a lovely chilling week to spend with my family and catch up with all the shopping and fun i miss out on when im busy studying at school! And i actually do study at school, quite hard because i like to get everything done at school then i can and come home to relax after a hard days work with a nice hot cut of tea and biscuits or cake (what a treat! ^_^)!! hehe!

The first day back wasn't too bad, but it will be so much more exciting when i get to uni, i am really disliking A Levels! Do any of you guys do A Levels? If you do let me know how you find it! >.< It is so hard, im struggling through but I know to achieve my dream i have to go through these hard moments, and its all for the good of my future so thats what motivates me to work hard at school. =)

It was snowing again this weekend, and i had to walk through it to get to work this past weekend! I am really fed up of the cold weather these days! English winters are severely cold and for a very long time too! I am really REALLY looking forward to spring when it becomes warm again!! ^_^

~~~

Ok, something so random i know, but i really love the song 'Koe wo kikasete' and i have for a while now, but i find it is a very uplifting song and it always puts a smile on my face when im feeling down =) Same as all you guys who take the time to read and comment on my blog or youtube, it really means a lot to me! I love you girlies! <3 n_n
Dont you just love Big Bang? =P

~~~

I also have a new make up look i've been loving! ^___^ When i get round to it i will make a video about it on Youtube, its a really natural and flawless look and i think its perfect for everyone!! Especially those people who dont really need or like to wear make up much. It really enhances your naturally beautiful features, and gives your face a realy gorgeous glow! n_n

~~~

I just want to thank every one so much who has read this! You have no idea how much it means to me that you take your tiime to do so becuase i never thought any one would be interested in anything i have to say.
Between my sisters i am the completely odd one out! So my two sisters (older and younger) are really close and are interested in the same things where as me, i am in to so many different things to i find it nice just to express my feelings and interests through my Youtube videos and blog. =)

Thank you girls! Your all so wonderful!

So thats my little chat today, just a catch up really as i've been pretty busy recently! I hope to be uploading some pictures next time, i know a big block of text looks really bad and totally unmotivates you to read! I apologise! >.<

Take care every one and enjoy the rest of your week!
Much Love,
Alice

Finally!

Hey everyone!

So a bit in to my personal life then! Something big for me has happened!

...

My braces are finally off! ^_^ Yey im so happy!! Just before Valentines Day =)

I had them since October 2008 so a year and 3 months! Its not that long i suppose compared to other people who had them on for longer. But im very thankful to be able to smile nicely again =D

Who ever is reading this, have you ever had braces? And how was your experience? I'd like to hear if anyone has had them! =)

I think it will be easier to talk in my Youtube videos now hehe!


~ ~ ~


Anyway, in other news! I've got round to uploading my Valentines Day make up tutorial video! I really need to get my jewelry for Valentines Day up! But I've been so busy recently! I have a lot of course work which i neglected whilst i was revising for January exams so now its come back to haunt me! >.<

The look is something like this: Its sweet, subtle (which is what guys prefer ;) ) and cute!



The winged liner creates that sophisticated look, gives your eyes a bit more shape and makes it interesting. Its thin applied as close to my upper lash line as possible making it subtle.
Also, you cant see it well in the photo, but next to the eyeliner on my right eye (your right) is a little heart! This is optional for the look but it is really cute! n_n

If any one has Youtube and would like to show me their Valentines Day look for this year leave a comment! ^_^


~ ~ ~


I will also be quite busy this weekend as my boyfriend Kenny will be coming over to my small town and it will be so nice to see him again! When we live so far apart its such an experience to see each other again... <3 It seems like forever, he works full time and i have school so its sometimes difficult to find the time, but when we do its so lovely ^_^ even if it is only for a weekend =) Anything is better than nothing of course!! It will be Valentines Day soon! What do you all have planned? n_n

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and hope your all looking forward to Valentines Day!
Much Love,
Alice
