So I came back and edited this post. For some reason, the way it was originally was not sitting well with me, so I came back to alter and add on to it. Anyway, this year seems to be moving so fast, I swear it April and then I blinked and May was coming to an end, it's so weird knowing that in 24 days (June 23rd), I'll be turning 20. It seems that the older I get, the faster time seems to move and shockingly, I think I'm okay with that. I'm also terribly, terribly happy that May is coming to an end. It was a horrible month for me, both mentally and emotionally, but that will be touched on in next post. I assure you, it'll be a doozy.
But this post isn't about the trials and tribulations of my mental and emotional state. No, this post is all about me jumping on the bandwagon. Lately I've seen a few fellow bloggers that I follow post their month of May in pictures and I thought, "Hey!! That seems like fun." So I've decided to do this in two ways. This is the first way. I've taken all the pictures I've taken this month on Instagram and am posting them here. Later on, I'll do another post that'll be pictures from my iPhone and my camera that didn't exactly make it to Instagram or elsewhere. I think I'm gonna have some fun with this.

Oh hey guys! It's been, what? Two weeks? Gaaah, I don't have any excuses aside from the fact that I haven't been home and I've been out with mates while therefor ignoring any of my responsibilities as a blogger... oops. Also, I'm kind of rushing to get all my official documents and my application out for college. Yess, I'm changing schools again. This time, I'm applying for a school nearby that I'm pretty familiar with. Anyway, that's a topic for next post (trust me...next one is going to be a fucking text doozy).
Today, I'll be posting the final part of The Swatches Archive. If you have no idea of what that is, either read the previous part on this or just keep on reading and you'll probably pick up on it incredibly quickly. However, I do suggest you read the other part as I'll be picking up where I left off without a shred of hesitation.

It's been a while since I posted something the slightest bit interesting on this blog and I really am sorry. Seeing as I just got back from New York a few days ago and have been catching up with friends and family while trying to get over this slight sickness, I'm still trying to get back into the swing of bblogging as much as I used to.
I realized that I don't have many beauty topics nor posts when it comes to this blog, but I have a bunch of accessory and lifestyle topics & posts here. So I felt that I should remedy that. Insert The Swatches Archives. It's obvious what this category is all about from the name. But, if not, here's a watered down explanation:
The Swatches Archives is a category completely dedicated to swatches (or, by definition, a collection of samples) that I've taken while out at beauty stores with testers, at mate's place, or while in the comfortable confinements of my own home. Alongside swatches, I'll include a description, the ingredients (depending on the length of the post), and my personal opinion of the products. More often than not, these swatches will either litter my arms or the fronts of my hands or in some cases, both. This is to bring awareness to brands and products that you may or may not know of and what they're all about.
...this is gonna be one of those things that'll be a doozy. So buckle up and enjoy the ride. In this archive post, all the products swatched here are from a trip to ULTA Beauty I took a couple days ago with my roommate, NIL. Because this post is going to be epically long, I cut it into two parts. Most of the opinions and descriptions of the products as well as collection pictures. The second part to this post will conclude the collection images, the opinions and descriptions, and include the pictures of the swatches.

The Blog.
Find out a little more about Waiting for June.
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” — Benjamin Franklin
Hello, there!
Welcome to Waiting for June. Waiting for June is a Lifestyle Blog that focuses predominantly on daily life shenanigans and nerd culture, but occasionally dabbles in health & beauty, food, and prattling about serious topics.
Waiting for June is the sixth iteration of the same blog with a different name and structure. The original iteration of this blog was started back in November of 2012 as a purely Beauty and Lifestyle blog under the name Monochromatics which later got abandoned and restarted under the name sumeoseo. With sumeoseo came more beauty and review based blog which quickly lost its appeal. From that point on, there were three name changes, multiple hiatuses, and two blog changes before coming to where we are now.
Throughout this journey, I've learned that this blog shouldn't be limited to what I feel fits in with what I read from other bloggers nor should I put myself in a position to compromise my integrity and the feeling of transparency that I feel should always be there. I've also learned that blogging is probably never going to be a huge source of income the way I always expected it to be. So when I finally returned back to blogging with a fresh blog and an equally fresh name, I decided to make this blog about anything that I wanted to and break the mold of trying to fit into the mold. I can only imagine where this experience is going to take me.

Hello, there!
Welcome to the little about me section of the blog. If it isn't obvious by now, I'm Mochizuki and I'm kind of pretty important here. Admittedly, Mochizuki is a nom de plume, but I digress. I'm currently somewhere in my twenty-somethings and doing that thing where I'm learning how to be a proper adult while balancing being a student and a worker. Speaking of school, I'm a Graphic Design major who's concentration is Web Design and I take my classes online. If I'm being honest here, I do everything online because of my apprehension towards too much social interaction.
I'm typically reading something, playing a video game, watching anime, or something otherwise nerdy because that's how I roll. I don't engage with people unless I'm positive there is something in common there simply because I don't want to make it weird for anyone involved. That said, the reason I originally created this blog, or rather, any of my blogging adventures, was so that I could engage with people wo share the same interests as me while simultaneously sharing my own things with people.
I'm not terribly good at about me's, so expect this to be updated sporadically in a lot of ways.

Review Policy.
A clear and concise guide on how reviews are approached and written.
This blog touches on and is dedicated to a variety of topics including: daily life, cosmetics, my journey to being a healthier me, music, books, anime, et cetera; however, a large chunk of the content found here are some form of review be they miniature reviews or full blown, in-depth reviews. Because of this, this blog has decided to implement and share it's review policy.
Please note that this policy is liable to change at any point in time, so do constantly check back before sending inquiries to kurahge@outlook.com.
- Depending on the workload and the type of product is received, at any given time, multiple products can be in queue to be reviewed.
- Depending on the product, the amount of time for a review to be posted varies. Typically, the length of time is as follows: anything health or beauty releated will take between 5 days and 1 week, books take between 3 days and 5 days, music and movie reviews take between 1 to 2 days, and most other reviews are variant depending on the situation at hand.
- Products are predominantly purchased with my own money. On the off chance that the product or prodcuts were provided to me, there is always a note at the top of post and as well as text within the post that acknowledges such. Despite being provided a product or not, the opinions are honest and valid.
- As of April 14th, 2016, there has been a change in how reviews are formatted. If working with a product that has a list of ingredients (health, beauty, cosmetics, etcetera), there will be a graphic that lists the ingredients out of respect and transparency for the readers.
- Photos for reviews, particularly health and beauty related, are unedited and provided in a clear manner to help show what results occurred (if any.)
- If at any point, a review is rushed despite being informed of and knowing the review policy of this blog, I will drop the review and pay for the product accordingly. I am a college student and a full-time worker, blogging is a bit of side project no matter how much I wish it otherwise, so my time is a bit crammed. Basically, rushing will terminate any agreement we may have unless it's valid (meaning absolutely my fault.)
