Zara: Fall Season

I simply adore these Ballerina with Jewel, hard ware, studs and spikes seem to be very in this season. I think there worth the $99 seeing how original they are, where else are you going to find something like this? I haven't been able to find this in my local ZARA but i'm keeping an eye out for them.

NeoDaliBrown Circle Lens/ Honeycolor Review

These 14.2mm NeoDaliBrown are extremely natural looking, I have really small eyes and the diameter of my eyes naturally are around 11.2 mm with these on they open up my eyes making me look more wide awake without looking un-natural. The average person walking past me would probably not even realize I had them on. They are comfortable to the extent where I can where them out for a full 10hrs without problems. These are my very first pair of circle lens and I previously where hard lens so compare to those these are more comfortable than my regular lens. 

These were purchased from honeycolor.com and I purchased them on August 16 and the arrived to me September 4 so they arrived in expected time range for standard shipping. However, I was slightly concerned as they did not send me a confirmation email receipt within 4 days of my payment purchase date. I had to make and inquiry and email them about it. I was happy that they responded to my email in a promptly manner as I messaged them at around 10pm at night and they responded the next morning. 

Lego Notebook

One of a kind cheaply made over priced notebook...purely for cuteness but I love it anyways.

Lady Gaga inspired nails

Step 1: base coat (Essie better together)

Step 2: Apply glitter coat (Sally Hansan diamonds) on upper half of nails

Step 3: sparkle! Add fine glitter with brush while glitter coat is still wet

Step 4: glam it up! Using larger pieces of glitter add it to the tip of the nail

Step 5: finish it off with a top coat to set everything in place.

Material Girl Acessories

Super adorable bird necklace from TheBay. Their jewelry are constantly at discounted prices. This necklace would go well under a white collar shirt for everyday, dress up a strapless dress, under a blazer letting it subtly glimmer. So may possibilities.

Mauve purse

Picked up this amazing calf skin purse at winners today. Mauve is a high end Italian brand. This baby is made in Bulgaria. It was love at first sight.

2.) Pure Color - 47 - Honey Drop              5.) Color Intensity -16-Chocolate
3.) Color Intensity - 03 - Pale 


I love using these color for a neutral everyday look, no 1,2 &3 are all beautiful iridescent colors that can be used as an all over lid color while no 4 & 5  are great for adding depth, intensity and can be used to line the eyes subtlety. Most of these color are no longer available at counters but can still be found on ebay.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick - Kiss Me Coral

Product info: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick is suppose to be infused with moisturizers to seal in color and softness.


Price: $7.99 cdn
















Pros: I love the consistency of this lipstick and it's coverage,and how it has no smell, non drying and good lasting power.


Cons: personally not very fond of the colour


Kiss me coral is a bold orange that is almost red.

My thoughts:  This lipsticks finish is a happy medium between shiny and matte. I would repurchase this lipstick in another color preferably when it's on sale at $3.99. Packaging is average, no complaints. Rate: A

East Asia Makeup Ad Makeup Look

Marcelle Duo Shadow in Tiramisu

The brown looking colour from the pan comes off as a beautiful bronze and the lighter colour can be used as an all over lid colour as well as a hi-light.

Really good pigmentation from both colours even though the lighter colour doesn't catch on camera as well. 

I loves these colors as they are neutral and will go well with all skin tones, easily blend-able and well pigmented. I have no complaints! A+

MioTTica iPool Contact Lens Review

My Story: Came across this online surfing and just decided I had to get it and so I did. I purchased it from an Ebay seller moaglobal for $20.99 CDN. Purchased it on March 29 and received it on April 11 which is pretty fast considering they said 15-30 days, i was expecting to wait for a full month.
What is it? : Automatic contact lens cleaner for hard and soft lens that uses one AAA battery. Includes 2 lens case, one pink, one green and a base.


How it works: The base vibrates causing the lens inside to move around. Cleans proteins in just 5 minutes.
Does it work?: Yes, I've had no problem in terms of hygiene 
Pros: 
-Cute
-Good for lazy people like me 
-No worries about tearing your soft lens 
Cons:
- Not the most portable, the base is a little over 3.5 inches in length, 2.5 inch width and, 1.5 inch height including. I wouldn't stick this in my toiletry bag when i travel, there are more compact cases out there.
- After several weeks of using this device I have found that it has gotten faulty as the lens case keeps popping out of the base when I have it turned on.
- Extremely noisy and irritating buzzing sound when it is turned on

Update: So I've had this for a little over half a year and I regret buying it because it turned all wonky on me after 4 months and now it doesn't even work. I didn't even drop it or anything, it just stopped working on it's own. Waste of $$$.

Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Eyeliner in 954 carbon

Description: 3g of gel eyeliner that comes in a little glass jar the diameter of a toonie and costed a little over $10CDN at shoppers drug mart.

Claims :     -Lasting drama
                    - Smudge-proof
                    -Water proof
                    - Last 24hr
Verdict: all holds true after testing on back of hand, I only didn't test the 24hr claim

Pros:
-Less harsh in appearance then liquid eyeliner
-Finer and less smudge than pencil eyeliner
-Reasonable lasting power
-Easy to use- doesn't require much practice to get it right


Cons:
-It is not sebum-proof!
- It will last on the back of your hand forever but not your eye. I don't have particularly oily skin or eyelids. It's lasts well on the upper lids but when it comes to tight lining it's not completely smudge proof. It lasts a couple of hrs but then it collects at the outer corners of the eyes.
- Eventually fades and smudges on to crease. At the end of the day it's no longer that clean crisp line you initially drew.
- Irritates contact lens wearers when used to tight line            

Left: Different thickness of lines achieved and liner smudged out

My Opinion


Would I buy this again?
No- I think I would try a new brand of gel liner 


Grade: B+

February Floral- Kalanchoe

 Like all my other February's Valentine's Day doesn't exist. 
This is just a beautiful house plant that happened to be on sale. So why shouldn't one pick up a house plant and brighten their home? 

Kalanchoes are among the top 10 house plants people keep in their home because they are so easy to care for. 


Look how vibrant these are :D


They bloom for a pretty long time too!

Keeping these in the Study/ Library 


- the individual flowers are like the size of the tip of my baby finger. 


- always did have a thing for flowers that grew in clusters. 

Simple Geometery

Love pairing this simple geometric ring with almost everything. There's simply no right side up to this piece, it's simple and unique.

Ebay Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

So I bought this eyelash curler off of an Ebay seller from Hong Kong for $1.30 CDN. Which is pretty good considering how drugstore curlers cost at least $7.00 CDN. I doubt this is really a shu uemura since those retail for $20 CDN.

Contents: One steel eyelash curler with silicon rubber pad and one replacement pad.

Packaging: came in a 4 x 2.5 x1.5 inch glossy white box with a photocopied looking picture of the eyelash curler.

There are two languages on the box, the side of the box has directions, features and warnings printed in English while the back of the box has Japanese on it.

It says it is developed and made in Japan. -questionable-

My Opinions: I initially bought this thinking that it would be better suited for my Asian eyes but I actually found that I like my Revlon curler better. But for the price it did do it's job and I don't have much to complain about.

Pros: 
-easy to reach the base of lashes
- did it's job of curling
- inexpensive

Cons:
- lashes end up doing a 90 degree bend very easily instead of a nice curl. 
-easy to pinch yourself if not careful
-silicon pad refill hard to find (if you know where to get refills then please tell me)

Overall Rating: A
Update: So I've gotten nine months of use out of the original rubber pad. Pretty good.
