Bleach | Rangiku Matsumoto Funko Pop!


Part of the birthday pressies I received this year was this Rangiku Matsumoto Funko Pop! my friend sent me. I know everyone has an opinion when it comes to Funkos, they love them or hate them. I honestly like them, I wouldn't collect all of them but, I like having a couple. Especially when it comes to characters I love as much as I love Rangiku. We share a past, hehe. IYKYK.

I love it because last year he also sent me something Matsumoto & Hitsugaya related. I'm slowly bulding a Bleach collection thanks to him, haha. Taichou knows~ ♡

I won't mention the presentation that much because we are already familiar with how the boxes look.


Here are the other characters that came out when Rangiku was released. I need Gin now so they can be together!!

She is perfect! I love all the details on her despite her size. Her necklace, Haineko and her lieutenant badge.

I love her characteristic mole and the fact that she has eyelashes, they make her prettier and a little flirty in a way.


This might be a very short post but, I'm way too happy to have her and I wanted to share. I'd defo get a Hitsugaya too, Ran wants her boys with her!
Now that I'm sharing her, I'm gonna include a pic of a Rangiku plush I got last year cuz I don't think I ever showed her around here. She was pre-owned and arrived in a very bad condition. But now she's happily living here along with my other few Bleach goodies.

See you next time~! πŸ’‹

LURE | Sweet Aura Mini Perfume | πŸ¦‹

This will be a very short post to show you this cute mini perfume that was gifted to me after buying some makeup last month. 

It's the Sweet Aura perfume from LURE. It is definitely a sweet scent and those are my favorites. It has sweet notes of pink pepper, black currant, Turkish rose, and gladiolus with a touch of French nougat and amber. 

To me, it's a very feminine and delicious scent, perfect for Spring but, I'd wear it all year round.

Its 20ml presentation is perfect to carry around with you, I don't really know if they have a bigger version tho. I've been loving it and wearing it often.

See you next time~! πŸ’‹

Fear Street Movies πŸ”ͺ

I don't know how popular these movies are but I recently found them. It was thanks to their latest one, Prom Queen that I got curious and decided to watch the other 3 which are a trilogy. 

The stories are based on books by R.L. Stine's: Fear Street Part One: 1994, Fear Street Part Two: 1978 and Fear Street Part Three: 1666, they're teen slasher movies with a paranormal story and they are all connected, but they show the story from different moments in time.

The story is about teenagers who try to break the curse of their town, ShadySide that has been going for hundreds of years. These movies were released back in 2021 and apparently, many people liked them.

I can see why tho, They're fun, not too long and honestly? I watched them three days in a row because I wanted to see what would happen next. The first two were my favorites, but I also enjoyed the last one. 

Effects aren't bad and even tho it's not scary, it's a little gory. The story doesn't feel slow and you get to like some of the characters. It also has some unexpected plot twists; plus, since they are based on different decades, I loved to see how the vibes changed depending on the time.

Now let's talk about Fear Street: Prom Queen, the one that introduced me to Fear Street.

This one was released in May 2025 and it's the classic teen prom slasher movie and I think it could be the first part of their next triology series. I've read mixed opinions on this one and, after watching the other 3, I kinda get why but, I have to say I enjoyed it. I liked the vibe since the story is set in the 80's and yes, it is gory too but the scenes are not that difficult to watch cuz they are not super realistic, it also has some funny situations. The story is a little predictable, we have the popular girls VS the "weird" girl competing to become Prom Queen. There's a mystery killer and that's where the action starts. I couldn't help to think about Carrie while watching it. 

Was it the best movie ever? Nope, but it wasn't bad either. I would totally recommend it if you like classic slasher movies from the 80's.


Loved to see some of the promotional posters resembling the Carrie and Halloween movie posters.

All in all, I enjoyed them, they have this classic slasher films nostalgia thing going on and that is something I always like. I would recommend it for fun. I'm probably going to watch the next movies they release so, yeah. 

Let me know if you've watched them or if you're planning to!
See you next time~!!πŸ’‹πŸ”ͺ

MakeUp Revolution London | Pout Bomb Lip Plumper Gloss πŸ’‹


I'm a sucker for plumping lippies and I recentyl got this plumper gloss from Make Up Revolution. This is a brand my mom used to buy a lot in Spain and she kept telling me how good they were so, I was convinced. 


It is the Pout Bomb Lip Plumper Gloss in the shade "Kiss", it is a neutral, almost nude kind of color. They are described as high-shine lip glosses and contain Vitamin E. And yes, it has a very glossy finish, the formula is a tiniy bit sticky and it has a sublte minty scent.


I have to say that it is not as pigmented as I thought it'd be, I guess it's expected since it's a gloss and not a liquid lipstick. It's still nice to apply on top of other lippies to add that glossy finish.

The applicator is slighty thicker than others I have and I love it! It covers my lips better.

The color here doesn't look as sheer as it is once applied on the lips.

Not my most flattering photos but, here we have the lips without & with the gloss. 

As for the plumping part, I'm not really sure if it does make my lips look fuller, what I did notice is that it fills in the lines on the lips, making them look smoother, I like that. Plus, the tingling feeling it gives you is more like a minty one, it's not as bad and strong as other lippies I've tried that make your lips feel as if you just rubbed something spicy on them.


This gloss is pretty similar to the ones I showed you in an other post a while ago, I guess I always gravitate to these shades without even noticing it. I'm gonna include some pics with swatches so you can see the 3 of them together.

They look very, very similar when you see them like this.

Here you can see the difference between the shades. I actually thought this one would be a little more like the Revlon one.

All in all, this product wasn't what I was expecting but, I still like it. I've been wearing ot often, especially for work, when I like a more neutral and natural look. I think they have other 13 shades that are very pretty and on the "neutral" side.

See you next time~!πŸ’‹

Spooky HaulπŸ¦‡

I know we're not that close to Halloween yet but, It's Friday the 13th so I thought this mini haul would be a fun way to celebrate the day, hehe.

I bought these things last month but it took me a while to share around here. I got everything from different stores and ended up collecting a couple of things without realizing it.

I'm gonna start with these makeup bags from Temu. I found them by accident and knew I had to get them cuz I thought they would be perfect to keep pads or tampons since they say Vampire Teabags. Do you get it? Lol.

I got one for me and a different one for my sister. I have mine in my bathroom and I just love how it looks there. 
I forgot to take a pic of the one I gave my sister but, it's this one. They had other designs too.

Next I got some Halloween nails. These were for sale cuz they were from last year’s collections, they were super cheap. I won’t go into many details here, I’ll wait until I wear them to do it.

I got two Love These Glow Tips from L.A. Colors, apparently they glow in the dark. The purple ones are called “slim-slimy” and the white “lovely bones”. How cute are these names?

The others are from imPress, this brand always has the cutest designs. They were a little more expensive than the L.A. Colors ones but, they quality and design is obviously better. I didn’t realize until I started writing this post that, these glow in the dark too. Honestly, these are my favorites and I can’t wait to wear them.

I don't like sparkling water on its own but I couldn't resist when I saw this Liquid Death sparkling water, I grabbed one as soon as I read "Murder Your Thirst". I just loved the whole concept they have. 

From the presentation to the way they describe the product. I was sold! All the details in the can are fun and perfect. Checking their website I saw they have flavored sparkling water and iced tea that could be a little bit more attractive to me. I'll see if I can find them in the future.

And lastly, I got some candy. There's a store where I can find some Halloween candy all year round and that makes me really happy. It's fun to have some spooky sweets every season.

And, that's it you guys! I might share more spooky hauls like this in the future while we wait for Halloween season. I decided that I'm not gonna wait til October to share some fun, spooky stuff. Especially because I'm always in the lookout for Halloween and horror related stuff.

Happy Friday the 13th!! πŸ”ͺ

My Birthday Pressies 2025 πŸŽπŸ’œ

We were fooling around with filters and thought this would be perfect for this post, hehe.

As every year, here's my birthday pressies post. My birthday was on a Tuesday this year so I celebrated before and after the actual day because of work. My first celebration was with my family, everything was too pink with spooky activities, perfectly matching my 2 personalities, hehe. We ate, drank a lot and had a great time. On my actual brithday we met for brunch and continued with our working schedules.
The next day, my boss surprised me with a cake at work so, we had another celebration with my coworkers and students, it was really sweet.
And to close birthday week, I met with my besties on Friday and Saturday for lunch and loooooong and very needed catch-ups. It was fun! Plus, I really missed them.

Now let's move on to what I recieved this year, starting with the cakes, of course.

Yum!

Moving on to the pressies, I'm gonna show them in no particular order:

I'm so not religious but, this was one of my favorites. Growing up I had some crosses and I used to wear them "the Buffy way" haha. I got rid of them with time so, it's kinda cool to have one again. And I actually love how it looks when I'm wearing it.

Part of my work is online so, the main idea of having these super pretty headphones is to use them for work, of course, that's not the only thing I'm gonna use them for. The sound is great and I think they make me look cool. A little...πŸ˜…

Sakura socks! How cute are these? I love how the flower peeks depending on the shoes you're wearing.

Sakura cushion and air freshner(?). Cuz you know, I'm a sucker for everything sakura.

This year I also received these two, which was great because I'm kinda putting my office together and also trying to decorate my room. The white shelf is in my room now, it helps me to organize my stuff a lot bettet and decorate it at the same time and the chair is something I needed for work, the one I was previously using wasn't made for work at all and it was very uncomfortable, so I ended up working everywhere around the house but in the office. It's nice to work and have what I need in the same place now.

Cono Sur Bicicleta Merlot. It's a Chilean red wine I haven't tried yet. I really like the presentations and can't wait to try it!

Rangiku Matsumoto Funko Pop! Ain't she perfect? I think I'll dedicate a separate post to her, hehe.

Hello Kitty goodies can't be missed. The pen reminded me of my childhood SO much! The red candle smells like apples and it's delicious! Makes me think of Fall already, hehe. I also received a cute notebook, it has a great size to carry around and a hard cover, which I like.

The orange bag was made by my best friend's son, whom I adore, she put my pressies there so, it was extra special. Can't wait to wear all this pretty socks and let them peek out of my sneakers and stuff.

Yumsies, of course! ♡

The ceramic pieces were made by my bestie and they are defo going to be part pf my coffee station decor. 
I find the ring in the middle witchy and magical, love it!
The Usagi enamel pin represents me, haha.

I also received some Sasuke goodies, 😍 he's my love. It's my first Sasuke tee ever.

Here's a look at both sides of the cup. One side has Sasuke through the years and the other one has Naruto.
Lastly, we have this super pretty sakura mini bowls. I don't think the picture really shows how cute they are in person.

I'm gonna include this here too. My mom and sister prepared goodie bags for us the day of my celebration. Of course it had to have some soju 🀀

And with that, we close this birthday post. This month still feels difficult and I've felt a little emotional because of my dad but, I can't be thankful enough for all the love, surpises, celebrations and sweet messages I received. I'm truly lucky and spoiled. 

See you next time~! πŸ’‹
