MY FAVE WEBSITES

I thought I'd kick off my posts with my favourite websites!

www.youtube.com; duh. YouTube is where I spend the majority of my time when I have a good access to internet. I'd list my favourite channels but that's a lot, so some of the ones I love watching is Lindy or Bubz (bubzbeauty/bubzvlogz) as I'm obsessed with her videos. I always look forward to them when they show up in my subscription box and they make me so happy! Her dogs are super cute and so is their newest addition to their family, Isaac! I also love Zoe (zoella280390) who's videos never fail to make me smile, Gabby (velvetgh0st), Louise (sprinkleofglitter) and many more. 

www.twitter.com is where I get all that gossip...jks. Due to timezones I usually miss out on quite a bit, but it's nice to go on there every once in a while and hopefully align with everyone else's timezones....

www.reddit.com is where I like to see whats happening and look at the food porn tag to see if I can find any good recipes.

www.kissmanga.com and www.kissanime.com is where I get my little anime and manga fix on when I'm in the mood. I'm currently watching Akame Ga Kill! and patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for the next chapter of the manga and next episode to come out.

Now for shopping websites...

www.yesstyle.com.au is definitely one of my faves. I love asian fashion, and I love the wide variety of items you can buy. The quality can vary, so make sure to check measurements properly and reviews. Sometimes you can get some absolute steals (I have this one long cardigan that I wear so often which I got for $12 at 80% off!) which I can't complain about. Also, free shipping with every purchase over $25? Some extra clothes couldn't hurt...

ASOS is also a good one. I notice that they used to have free shipping, but now it only seems to be with any purchase over $30 I think? They seem to have the more high end scale of things at cheaper prices, and it's great if you're more petite or curvier as they have a great selection of clothes in the petite range and curvy range. Some items are out of my price range, but occasionally you come across some items that are great value.

www.riptapparel.com, www.shirtpunch.com and www.othertees.com all have similar concepts, limited edition graphic tees at reasonable prices + shipping. Some of the designs are really cute and I love graphic tees so...why not?

www.sheinside.com, www.choies.com, www.romwe.com and www.oasap.com all seem to be pretty similar to me. Cheap, reasonable prices on both clothes and shipping, decent quality (depending on the item) and yeah. I've seen some items that are the same on the websites at different prices, so make sure to check them all out. I've only actually shopped at sheinside before, but they all seem pretty similar to me. 

www.beautynetkorea.com and www.jolse.com both sell korean beauty products at cheap prices with free worldwide shipping. I've shopped with beautynetkorea before and they had easy checkout, nice discounts, good prices and fast and safe shipping. They also give heaps of samples with every purchase which I definitely don't mind! I assume jolse is similar, and I'm looking to put and order through with them soon. 

Every now and again I'll go on www.shopfree.com.au to see if there's any nice samples or competitions to try out. 

That's pretty much it for me! What are your favourite websites, let me know below!

ABOUT LITTLE ME...

Hi,

I'm Jess, I'm Australian...blogger, now I guess.

If you're wondering what my blog is about, I guess it'll be a bit of beauty, food, lifestyle and everything really. I might share a recipe of something I've just baked, some beauty products I'm loving at the moment, my holy grail skincare products, maybe some products I haven't really liked, what I'm listening to at the moment, my favourite websites, food I've eaten, places I've been etc. 

My photos may not be the best, but maybe you can bear with me for a bit :P

I also love reviewing things, so it might be a beauty product, a skincare product, a restaurant, a book, a movie or anything I'm feeling the need to share (:

I hope you'll like my blog, now for a bit about me...

1. I'm Australian as mentioned above, but Chinese of heritage.
2. I do live in Australia.
3. I have a fascination with Japanese and Korean things, so yes I do like my korean music, a bit of anime and manga. I also love asian beauty products, skincare and the food...THE FOOD.
4. I sometimes write, just for fun.
5. I love baking, I sometimes use it as a way to get rid of stress or forget about things.
6. I'm quite a stingy person, so I own nothing that is of high end brands in terms of makeup, skincare and clothes...yet. 
7. I love my YouTube and Twitter when I'm in the mood.
8. I love food, I'm kind of almost always thinking about it... ._.
9. I'm quite a paranoid person, and I have a feeling it has something to do with the wild imagination of mine
10. My favourite colours to wear are grey (light grey, charcoal grey, lots of grey) and black. If you personally think that they shouldn't count as colours and are shades, then I like wine red/maroons and navy blues.
