I know most people post gift guides, but since I'm a selfish beyotch, Imma posting stuff on my wish list...hehe...
1) Anything from the PONY Effect makeup line.
If you're into Asian skincare/makeup, you probably know who Pony is. If not, this is her YouTube Channel.
I just adore her, and have been meaning to try her makeup line, which I heard is just amazing.

PS One of her most famous makeup tutorials:
2) Nintendo NES Classic Edition
My husband and I actually went to several stores the day this came out but all of them sold out so quickly. (There were peeps who lined up overnight.)
Thanks, Nintendo, for producing, like, only 20 of these. We have been on the hunt since, but alas, no luck. (I refuse to pay the inflated prices on Ebay.) Fingers crossed, you guys.

3) Olympus PEN-F camera I do love my 5-yr-old Canon S95, but yeah...5 years old. (Unfortunately, I just can't handle the bulk of a DSLR, so mirrorless cameras are what I'm looking for.)

4) "The Book of Haps" and "Yokes" by Kate Davies
Because I just want to knit all the things from these books.
5) A Kamaka ukulele
If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know how I love to play the ukulele (although not quite good yet). This is the one I've been wanting for years. If if it's good enough for Jake Shimabukuro, it's good enough for me:D
Amazing selections; the PONY Effect make-up palette is beautiful and I love the idea of having a personal gift guide or Wish list. Also, that Kamaka Ukulele is just awesome.
All the stuff on my wish list posts are usually things that I want for myself, anyway! I kinda wanted that Nintendo too. I know a bar in San Francisco that has one in their "game room" and it was so fun playing old school games (and Duck Hunt) on it!
I hope at least a few of these end up under your Christmas tree Emmy! We were at Urban Outfitters over the weekend shopping for a white elephant gift and saw that they carry the Nintendo NES Classic Edition. Good luck tracking one down!
Whattttt?! Nintendo brought back the classic?! I NEED to look for it! Try looking at Panasonic cameras, Emmy, they have window but not bulky. I am using one myself. DSLR seems to be all the rage for bloggers but like you I can't stand how bulky it is.
I have just bought myself a few things already, haha. I hope you get some of these excellent gifts for Christmas, Emmy. That TSwift tutorial is spot on. Just goes to show that you can look any way you want with makeup, lol. What a transformation! <3 /Madison
Emmy, you are too funny! LOL I've heard about that classic Nintendo and how popular it has been. I hope you get everything. http://www.averysweetblog.com/
I have to admit I didn't know who Pony was, but will definitely check her out. I'm after a Shiseido foundation, but will probably get that myself, I wouldn't want Santa to mess the shade.. :D
Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
I know a lot of people don't like wearing leggings as pants. I'm not one of those people. (I do have a rule that the top has to be long enough to cover your butt. Otherwise, I don't know what you're trying to advertise....you know what I'm saying?) old sweater from Hot Topic and leggings from Aritzia, Vans slip ons Are you a leggings fan?
I've been a huge fan of Lois Van Baarle, or simply known as Loish , for awhile now. She's an amazing Dutch digital artist who has worked for Lego, Guerrilla Games and Coca-Cola.I just started supporting her on Patreon , where she shares a lot of tutorials and more art work:) Her work has been such an inspiration...something about her art work just speaks to me, probably because she was influenced a lot growing up by The Little Mermaid, and that is one of my all-time favourite Disney films! I constantly turn to her two books, The Art of Loish and The Sketchbook of Loish. She also has a third one coming out soon:) Here are samples of her works (from her website ): Even though I'm a traditional artist and Loish's work is digital, I tend to do do a lot of studies of her works, mainly in my art journal:) I did this with watercolour, colour pencils and aquapastels from the Jane Davenport line. same as above:) I've decided to dabble with digital art, using an old draw
