I finally got my new camera last week when my parents came to visit me. Hopefully this means that I will post more often. The camera I bought is the Nikon D7100 and so far I think it has been a very good upgrade. You can definitely tell that D7100 is less of an "entry level" camera because it has a lot of functions and buttons that my previous D5100 lacked. I know that may not make a whole lot of sense but when I first tried out the camera I was expecting to be able to know how to use it pretty easily since I had owned a DSLR before but I was surprised to find out that I didn't know the functions of many of the buttons. I read a good chunk of the manual so I could learn the functions of all the buttons on the camera. As for the camera itself, of course it is great. The images are really sharp even though I am not using the best lens. I am actually glad that I chose to upgrade the time that I did because I found out that recently Nikon announced the release of the D5300 which I figure would decrease the price of my previous D5100 even more since it would be an even older model. Anyways, I might do an actual review of the D7100 when I get around to using it some more. But as for now, I'm gonna post a couple of pictures I took with it over the last week. 

I bought some beauty product recently and thought it would be a good idea to do a review because I think they turned out to be interesting buys. They both happen to be eyeliners because eyeliner is one of the beauty items I use the most.

 This is elf's cream eyeliner in midnight. This is actually only 3 dollars which makes it an amazing purchase. As you might expect, the packaging and brush are not the best quality but the product itself is very good. It stays on for a long period of time and it is hard to smudge. The consistency is good and it goes on very easily. This is the first time I've bought an elf product and it has made a very good impression on me.

The next product is L'oreal's carbon black Lineur Intense. This actually a repurchase for me. I bought this one or two years ago and it has stayed pretty much the same. It has a good applicator that is easy to use but it is very easy to smudge. I find that it doesn't last me the whole day a lot of the times.

I hope that this review was short and helpful!

I'm just gonna do a mini review of some stuff I bought recently in hopes that it might help someone. The first one is Urban Decay's Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in the color Glam Rock:

I bought this to put in the corner of my eyes to get the "tear drop" effect. The liner actually comes in several collars such as gold, pink, blue,etc. I bought the silver one because it seemed the most practical though I was tempted to buy the pink one because it looked so darn pretty. It comes in a pretty good size (7.5 ml)  and does its job pretty well by packing a lot of glitter in a sweep. The only complain I have is the fact that it comes of a little bit too easily. The corner of the eye is pretty sensitive and if I find myself rubbing it a lot, most of the glitter will come off. It's also a little bit on the pricier side at 18 dollars but overall I find it worth the price.

The next two items I bought at Yesstyle. I don't frequently shop at Yesstyle but they were/are having free shipping for the month and I found a couple of items on big sale after waiting a while and I thought they were worth it.
The first one is Etude House Precious Mineral Bright Fit BB Cream:

I originally wasn't planning on buying this BB Cream but I found out that the site was having it on sale for 14 dollars and I thought it was worth it especially because of the free shipping. It is supposed to be whitening, anti wrinkle, and anti-darkening and it also has SPF 30 added. It comes in four shades and I chose the lightest one ( Light Beige) because I'm really fair skinned. I think it matches my skin tone pretty well and I see no apparent signs of whitening but maybe it's because I am so pale lol. I am a little too young to be using anti-wrinkle products but one of the benefits of wearing BB Cream is that it possesses multiple effects that are good for the skin and I guess it's always good to start early. It doesn't smell like sunscreen at all but rather has a pretty good scent. I think that it also offers a good amount of coverage without being heavy or cakey. One of the best aspects is the fact that it comes in 60 g or 2 oz which is twice the amount of normal foundations here in the US. Overall, I would definitely recommend this.  

The next item I got is a pair of nude/beige colored boots:

I have purchased shoes from Yesstyle before and their quality is not the best ( but not cheap either). So I was surprised to find that these shoes seemed to have a pretty good quality. They also have a very soft and warm lining which I was not expecting. I have not worn them out yet so I can't tell you anything about the comfort bit they seem comfortable. I also think that their color and style are simple but very practical and beautiful. I am about a size 5.5  in the US and these are a size 36 which according to Yesstyle converts to a size 6. In most brands a size 6 is too big for me but these shoes fit pretty well.

It took almost two weeks for the items that I got from Yesstyle to arrive although they were shipped on the same day that I ordered. The previous time I had ordered from them, I had selected express shipping and it took only about 3 days to arrive after it was shipped. This time I had standard shipping and it took 9 business days for my shipment to arrive. But I guess that's what you get for ordering with free shipping and thankfully all  the items arrived in pretty good condition.

Anyways, I hope that the reviews were helpful!
