forever 21 shopping haul 2

Picked up a few of the items here on impulse because I figured I might as well try and max out the shipping for it. I shared it with a friend so I think I spent about 80 bucks here. Btw, if you are going to shop, use Ebates! It gives you cashbacks for your shopping. (Put my email: megoostafashion@gmail.com as the referral please :))





The graphic on this is quite tumblr-ish and I don't have any short sleeved graphic crop tees in my closet so I decided to add this to my cart. Well, for the price, I think this shirt is not worth buying. The quality of the shirt isn't good at all. The cotton is soft but rather thin and feels cheap. So it is rather expensive for a shirt. It also looks rather oversized on me, maybe because I'm skinny? So now it looks very casual for me. I paired it with denim shorts or a floral skirt. 



Does anyone else find leggings at forever21 to be quite pricey? They are at least $19 here and $13 online after conversion. Some of their leggings are really pretty though and I gotta say that their floral ones are always very nice! These would look great with graphic tees and boots like how the model is wearing it. I wouldn't really go with crop tops and leggings though unless you are wearing seamless underwear. Still, I think it would look weird at the crotch if you don't cover it with a long shirt or tunic. 





Picked up this kimono because it is relatively cheap but I didn't like how the model photos didn't show how it looked like with the kimono untied. It is actually still quite cute with or without the tie so this was a good buy. I love it so much paired with my iwearsin lace crop top and denim shorts plus my fringe bag from wetseal. What a perfect combination! I love how everything is so light and flowy as well because you don't want to be wearing so many layers during summer, do you. 



So, I don't really wear or use sunglasses, so I was kinda unsure about these but they turned out to be really pretty and they suit me so I'm good. The colours are not too vibrant, but just nice and the heart shaped accent at the corner of the shades are really cute too. A great pickup for summer to wear to the beach or pool! Just don't lose them!






The reason behind this buy is probably stupid, and maybe why I spend so much as well. Got this because I don't have any black graphic tees in my wardrobe. This top still feels quite cheap but I think it is better than the polaroid tee. 






Picked this up like a month ago when it was still festival season so it would have been great for that time but the fringe and daisies are still cute for spring and summer! The whole shirt is made of raw edges so it feels kinda fragile. The straps are quite thin as well. Again, the cotton is really bad but still wearable. The arm holes are actually quite big (I folded them in the picture) so they would be nice to wear with a patterned bralette or a caged top for that flirty peek-a-boo effect.







Well, needless to say, I'd get this dress because it has an open back which I can wear with my caged crop tops. The prints on these are super cute too. I was debating between this one and the watercolour daisy dress but I think the prints on these are way cuter so I didn't get the watercolour daisy one. This dress is made of rayon and well worth the money. It is very pretty and just the right size as well. Totally in love with the prints!

Real vs Fake Adidas Superstar/Stan Smith

I've wanted to do this post for a long time, ever since I started on my crazy collection of Adidas Superstars. I mean, I think I make quite a credible source because at one point, I owned 14 pairs of Superstars and Stan Smiths. I will be migrating my Superstar collection post over to this blog over the coming days so that you can read up on where I got them. I'm not sure if these shoes are still as popular and wanted now because I am sort of out of the loop but if you are looking to get yourself a pair of Superstars or Stan Smiths, these are a few pointers to look out for in identifying if what you are buying is real or fake. Take note that these features are mostly applicable to recent releases only. Old models and Superstar 80s are slightly different. Then again, old models are not sold in stores anymore so if you find brand new pairs elsewhere, you should be cautious.  I owned a a few pairs of fake Superstars before I purchased my first original pair from the Adidas

Arctic Fox Hair Dye Review on Dark Unbleached Hair

I've been meaning to try Arctic Fox's hair dyes for a couple of years but never got around to it because I feared it wouldn't show up on dark hair. It's been coming up more and more on Instagram again so I did some research and apparently Purple Rain, Aquamarine and Poseidon do show up on dark hair. So that's what I purchased! These retail for $7.99 (4 fl oz) or $13.99 (8 fl oz) on the Arctic Fox website but I got mine off Amazon .  Arctic Fox hair dyes are vegan and cruelty free. They also do not contain harsh chemicals like peroxides, ammonia and PPD. These are semi-permanent and they contain conditioning agents which means you can use these dyes as often as you want to without damaging your hair. Semi-permanent hair dyes only coat your hair so it will fade with each wash. The bottle claims that it can last up to 40 washes. These smell like grape candy so it is such a treat to use them. The instructions to use this is pretty simple. 1. Shampoo and w

Lonely Planet/Atomic Makeup Silky Matte Liquid Lipstick Swatches & Review

Lipstick swatches are one of my favorite things to do so I gathered my Lonely Planet Cosmetics liquid lipsticks and did a swatch and review in my latest YouTube video. Earlier on this year, Lonely Planet Cosmetics announced that they were going to hold their anniversary sale as well as closeout sale because they were going to shift their headquarters to New York and rebrand to Atomic Makeup. So when the sale came around, everything was 50% off. Their liquid lipsticks were typically $15 for 8ml so they were marked down to $7.50 and some of them were even $5. The sale lasted a really long time and I ended up placing 3 separate orders with 24 shades altogether. I think they had a massive range of 35 colors but honestly, their color range isn't very impressive. It is filled with your typical reds, pinks, nudes and browns with a handful of bolder shades. Another thing I noticed when I swatched these is how inaccurate some of the shades have been represented. I remember reading a re
