Lifestyle and Daily Shenanigans with a dash of Nerd Appreciation thrown in.
Willkommen!
Hello, there! I'm Mochizuki, a twenty-something year old Graphic & Web Design student located somewhere in America and welcome to Waiting for June a Lifestyle blog that occasionally gets a tad too personal, talks about cosmetics, and constantly the home for prattles about Bandcamp, nerd culture, and tea/coffee. To find out more about blog and the blogger, click here.
Thank you so much for visiting and reading Waiting for June! If you like what we do here and want to help support the addiction of the blogger, you should look into spoiling the blog and its creator with coffee and gifts by using the links below. Even if you don't, you're still pretty dope for visiting, reading, enjoying, et cetera.
Hey, eveyone! Today's post is not going to be anything extravagant or important. I'm not really in the mood for anything happy and entertaining. E3 was amazing to watch, but something happened after I watched E3 that made my mood plummet horribly. So I'm not going to blabber too much or be as excited as I normally am. Instead, I'll be doing another tag. I'm sorry for my mood today, I promise I'll be better tomorrow, so just stick with me...yeah?
Today's tag will be the Seven Deadly Sins tag. It's a beauty based tag and since I'm not tagging anyone nor was I tagged, I'm going to bypass all of the rules and just jump right into it. If you do end up doing this tag, leave a comment below with a link to your post with this tag and I'll make sure to read it.
Greed - What is your most expensive beauty item?
— My most expensive beauty item was definitely my Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Gel by MAC Cosmetics. It is really a lovely product and after putting this on, my face felt even softer than it does normally. I got my life from it and you can only imagine how depressed I was when it finished. It lasted me a good couple months though. You can purchase this product in 50ml for 39$. A bit pricey (especially for a college kid like me), but worth it.
Sloth - Which item do you neglect most due to laziness?
— I normally forgo eyeshadow because of laziness. I always have plans to go all out with shadow, but then I just get...lazy. I would care...but, yeah I don't.
Wrath - which item do you have a love/hate relationship with?
— I have a love/hate relationship with powder and liquid foundations. I can't lie. I'm better with powder than liquid, but they are both little shits. Still my go-to foundations, cremes are bit too expensive, but ugh...I would get those in a heartbeat if cheaper, but yeah...little shits.
Gluttony - what brand makes up most of your make-up collection?
— Unlike a good bit of bloggers, I'm not a brand whore. So, I don't have too many of one brand things and i have a huge mix, however, I think Revlon, Sally Hansen, New York Colour, and Rimmel London are top in my collection. I think also, E.L.F can be added to that list.
Pride - which product gives you the most confidence?
— As weird as this sounds, I don't get any confidence from products. Naturally, I'm either really disgusted with my appearance, even with makeup on, or I'm overall okay with my apparance, even with makeup off. What I put on doesn't effect me as much as it should. That sounds horrible, but it's true.
Lust - which item is at the top of your beauty wish list?
— I think anything from Butter London, MAC, IMAN, Illamasqua, Cargo or Beauty UK seem to be on the top of my list right now.
Envy - which make up product/look is great on others but not yourself?
— Nude lips. You lucky fuckers. My lips are actually the perfect shade for nude lips, maybe a tad bit pinkier, however nude lips look utter shit against my complexion. It's saddening, really.
And that's all she wrote today lovies. Again, I apologize for my absolutely sour mood as of late. However, I hope I'll get over this so that I can do the next post far easier than I did with this post. Next post will be the second (well third, depending on how you're counting) of MMMIP (My Month of May In Photos). You'll get to see all my Fall Out Boy Merch, my contact purchases, and a bunch of other things goodies I got.
Also, in honour of my birthday, the blog will be undergoing a layout and a name change. I'm not gonna talk too much about it cause I'd rather work on everything silently and reveal it and open the comments up to your opinions, but at least I'm inviting you in (just a tidbit in) to the future of this blog. I'll talk more about that in the upcoming days.

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.

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.)
