Hello, hello. Holy shit, what's this? I'm baaaack. Well, sorta.... mostly. I'm a still a busy outside of this hectic world of blogging, but I'm not so out of control with it that I can jump back into blogging, but that's for a totally different post ( meaning the next one) and technically, this isn't as much of a return as much as it a reason for me to go ahead and be a slightly judgmental twat with a bit too much time on their hands.
Basically, I'm reviewing things again. And I'm reviewing things that I haven't done in forever and really and truly want to bring focus on to this blog. Music. Now, if you obviously can't tell, music is a huge part of my life. Whether it be anything from Rihanna, to the beautiful voice of the Korean singer Ailee, to jamming to some Japanese Rock, to listening to something more soothing like the Shoegaze band, Zeit; I'm immersed in it. I've said this multiple times before on this blog, but I really, really want for this blog to have more focus on music.
That being said, today's post is a review of two music videos that feature two of my personal favourite artists (for different reasons), Jessie J and Rihanna. Over the course of the week or so, both artists have released music videos for two singles; Rihanna's being “What Now” from her UNAPOLOGETIC album and Jessie J's being “Thunder” from her ALIVE album. Both songs are not only on the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of overall meaning, but both artists are also on the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of their artistry.
Well, does that make a difference? Keep reading to find out my take on it.

On Saturday, I went out with two of my good mates to the cinema partly because one of my mates wanted to see Prisoners, partly because we hadn't properly hung out with each other in a week or two, and partly because we wanted to hang out a couple more times before I moved a bit away. So, it was decided that day that we would head to the cinema. Initially, we were going to see Rush because that is what I, personally, wanted to see, but Prisoners was instead decided on. We opted to go to the 10:20 one which one of my mates, the time to work and change and grab us, and also gave me the time to hang out with a group of others.
When ten rolled around we headed out and of course, I made my friend make a pit stop so that I could hit up Starbucks and get a drink. Of course, the ride to Starbucks and then the cinema was filled with ridiculousness, but I can never properly explain it and it's better when seen for yourself. The movie started roughly around 10:35 and we left about 12:50 in the morning. I live tweeted about the movie for a good bit, but for a movie over 2 hours long, you can bet there's quite a lot left to say.
So... 가자!

This post was supposed to be made two days ago, but I've been in and out and super exhausted since that point, so I haven't exactly had the time to sit down and type up a blog post as of yet. Now that I've gotten the time, I can sit down and share my amazing experience with you all.
Seeing as I took my flatmate NIL with me to the screening, before we start, I'd like direct you guys to NIL's post on this adventure if you would like to read it. Also, a huge “Thanks!” to both Klout and Warner Bros for giving me the opportunity and tickets to go see this movie and experience the awesomeness of it.
Now, let's jump into this post. 가자!

Good day, loves! Well, morning for me. I started typing up this post at about 8pm last night and I finished around 7:30 am (Eastern Standard Time of course) without any bit of sleep in between. So as I type this introduction, it's morning for me. But there's no rest for the wicked!
Before you jump into reading this, click that link up above and let MIKA's voice again guide you through this post like an angel of amazingness. Today's post is yet another review and that makes this my second review in a span of about two or so weeks...maybe not even that long. Not only is today's post a review, but there's a little something extra, a couple pictures, and a request for you lot's opinions towards the end, so make sure you read it all.
Now, I'm gonna end this intro and go pass out on my face. Remember to comment, share, and love this post anyway you can.

Hey everyone! (I was sorely tempted to say "Konbankwanzakahmasuka, minna-san", but I didn't. You're welcome.) Now, before I properly jump into this post, I want to talk about something shortly. There was a post I made that I posted yesterday, but I quickly pulled it back in as a draft. If you managed to catch it before I retracted it, I apologize for the mistakes and intense amount of typos in that post and that was the reason I retracted it. The amount of typos and mistakes in the post made me cringe, so I decided to take it back and edit it. So if a post randomly pops up after this one, then you know why.
Now, that we have that all cleared up, let's talk about this post. Today's a bit of a shocking post, yeah? The last time I did a proper review was on March 23 with me reviewing EOS' Adult Red circle lenses and in that time, I just hadn't had the spark to do anything review related. It felt like I was completely turned away from everything I had grown accustomed to doing with this blog and it was a bit saddening. Deciding to change that, I stumbled upon Brand Backer, a site that helps fashion and beauty brands connect with bloggers in hopes of gaining more exposure, by chance and I thought this would be a perfect way to jump back into this.
가자! (Translation: Let's go!)

Yo minna! I'm so sorry. I was posting consistently and then I just poofed, however, I promise it was for good reasoning. Did you notice that we've gotten a new layout and a new blog url around here? Actually, I'm quite unhappy with the layout right now, but I felt like it was enough to get me through the next month or so. I felt so utterly rusty while coding this layout, but I hope you all enjoy it and dont find many problems. Also, noticed the new blog name? Humbled Waves. Ugh, I could not resist naming something after the amazing Turn Off Your Television, who I'll be doing a review of in the near future, and so I chose one of my favourite songs by them and gave it a more whimsical, Yasu-ish air to accompany this blog? Nonetheless. This blog is named after the song, " Humble Waves" and I absolutely adore it for several reasons. Listen to the song and if you know me, you'll definitely understand the love for this song.
Also, I turned 20 years old 5 days ago. So that's another reason for my absence. Just reveling in being one year closer to being able to legally drink here in America. Whooo. I have a post planned for turning twenty, but it'll come either sometime within the next two days or the next week depending on how my mind feels. And if you can't already tell, it's totally going to be a text heavy and more personal post.
Anyway, the layout and URL changes will be spoken about later on in this post. Did you read my last post when I mentioned that I had purchased a ton of e.l.f cosmetics? I finally got around to using some of these lovely products at a consistent manner and I can no do a proper review on a few of the products.
If you can't already tell from the image above, I'll be reviewing three products today. Those three products are e.l.f cosmetics' Makeup Mist & Set, Daily Moisture Stick, and the Mineral Infused Primer. So let's not waste anymore time and jump right into this, yes?

Here's the second review in my series of reviews based around the circle lenses I purchased from Kiwiberry. If you missed the previous post, I started out this series of review with a review of EOS Max Candy Doll Blue lenses which you can read up on by clicking here. In this review, we'll be reviewing another pair of EOS lenses, the EOS Adult Red lenses.
I won't bore you any longer with this introduction and just jump right into this review. Don't forget to keep in mind that all reviews are mostly 90% text and 10% images.

It's been a while since I've done a proper review of something beauty related and I've constantly promised and stated that I would get around to properly doing reviews for the contacts I received from Kiwiberry over the 2012 holidays and thus, I'll be posting two reviews back-to-back.
The contacts that will be reviewed in this post is pictured above, the EOS Max Candy Doll Blue lenses while the pair of lenses that will be reviewed next post are the EOS Adult Red lenses. So let's get this party started, yes?

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.)

Hello, hello. Holy shit, what's this? I'm baaaack. Well, sorta.... mostly.
