The thing about cosmetics : Neo Vision Monet Gray 13mm Circle LensesReview

After much contemplation and research (of course!), I decided to order some circle lens. Hello to the world of circle lens, here comes a beginner!

I ordered three pairs from Kpop2. They have a pair for USD $10.99 deals going on right now! Shipping was USD $8.00 with tracking number included. They arrived within 10 days! :D

The first pair I'm gonna review is Neo Vision Monet in Grey Circle Lenses.

Overall Diameter : 14mm

Graphic Diameter : 13mm

Moisture Content : 38%

B.C. : 8.6 mm

They look really subtle through the vials.

Here's how they look with and without.

Comfort Level : TBA

Being a circle lenses beginner, I'm used to normal daily contacts. These lenses were actually really thin and soft. I even had a hard time putting them in, it kept coming out on my left eye D: Plus, they were kinda irritating when they were on. So I had to remove them immediately. JUST BECAUSE I had less sleep the other day. :(

Design : Simple and natural, no obvious enlargement

The reason why I got these lenses! Not too OTP.

Overall thoughts :

I'm still wary on these lenses. :< All in the name of beauty. I probably should stay away from them for awhile. Definitely uncomfortable for a first timer.

P.S. What a phail review. I'll update you all with pictures once I get comfortable with them \(◕ヮ◕)ﾉ


UPDATE :
Too uncomfortable for me. So I chuck them away as soon as possible.

The thing about cosmetics : Etude House's Precious Mineral Cotton Fit BB Cream in Natural Beige Review

Your search for Yellow Undertones Korean BB Creams is over!!

*Drum Roll*

I've always wanted to try out Etude House line of BB Creams, not because my sister told me about Dara being one of the endorsers, but they are one of the few company (I know of!) that does the yellow undertones for BBs. So, I ordered the Natural Beige samples on Ebay.

And this is how they look.

Swatch'd onto my arm.

Blending time.

And now, onto the face.

Details on the Precious Mineral BB Cotton Fit (What was advertised by EtudeHouse):

• SPF30/PA++


• Whitening & Anti-Wrinkle & Anti-Darkening


• Paraben Free ( :D!!! ), Artificial dyes Free, Benzophenone Free

Face in Contact : Natural look.

• Skintone - Yellow/Orange


• Consistency - Light on the skin, Velvety, Easy to blend, Matte Finish


• Coverage : Medium, buildable.


• Not moisturizing enough.

Long-lastingness level : 5ish hours without primer

• The oil control is probably not bad. I usually put this on when I have work (kitchen area) and it did not seem to ooze a lot of oil out.

 Scent : Smells like yeast.

• Not a big fan of the smell. :<

Price : NZD $ 6.03 for 10 samples, The 60g pump bottles costs around NZD $15-17 on Ebay.

• Pretty affordable.

Overall thoughts :

It wasn't one of those things that I fell in love with at first. But in time, I grew attached to it. I use it almost everyday for work. I learnt that this one actually fits MORE closely to my skintone when it oxidises. It did not break me out badly. But, the downside is - I can see flaky skin when I apply it on my dry skin (upper T-zone area again!!). I never had major problems with flaky skin, but recently maybe because the Yes to Cucumber wipes has been exfoliating my skin when I wipe the BB off my face. I should stop using those make up wipes. Sigh. Or maybe I should get a new moisturizer.

If it wasn't for my dry skin. Damn. But yes definitely a go to BB Cream for fairer skintones with yellow undertones!

Great BB Cream for the natural ulzzang look. :P And yes, I did use this BB Cream in my previous post.

The thing about Online Shopping : Dresslink Haul (Review)

I've ordered from Dresslink on the 10th of Dec 2013 and it arrived on New Years' Eve. I'm super excited to share with you all the items I've bought!

A short introduction about Dresslink :

Dresslink is an international online fashion wholesaler, based in Hong Kong. People keep mistaken that they're from China, Japan or Korea. Get your asian facts right!

Back to the haul. Brace yourselves for a extremely long review.

1. Women's Stylish Slim Synthetic Leather High Waist Pleated Mini Skirt

I'm a shorty so this skirt is just the length for me. I don't think this skirt would last long. The material looks like it's gonna peel off easily. I had a belt that was made of synthetic leather, it started to become flaky after sometime.

2. New Fashion Women's Chiffon Pleated Retro Long Maxi Dress Elastic Waist Skirt Dress

You pay what you get for! The chiffon material is just decent. Just alright.

3. Women Loose Sweater Geometry Design Printed Long Sleeve Pullovers 

Amazing quality for the money. No complaints here.

4. Korea Girl Cartoon College Style Applique Loose Pullover Knitted Sweater

The material is pretty good. But there were loose ends on the sweater. I'm not entirely keen on the cartoon being stick onto the sweater. They should have sew it on.

5. Women's Sleeveless Stripe False Two Piece Dress Chiffon High-waist

I don't have a picture of me wearing it.

The white chiffon on the top of the dress is actually transparent. The bottom part is made of general shirt material. The dress is just alright. The high-waisted dress does not look that flattering on me, looks better on the model. I'm gonna try it on for another time.

6. Korean Women Fashion Loose Round Collar Long Sleeve Owl Pattern Sweater Blouse Tops

This actually is my favourite piece from my package. Comfy wool. But there was a slight stitching problem, pretty gutted. And this costs more than the other pieces.

I've emailed their customer service and asked what are they gonna do about it since I don't think it's worth it to ship it back.

*Anyway, I'm gonna skip the cat stockings and the purse. Maybe that would be in another post.*

So, I've spent USD $33.47 on these items, USD $26.13 for shipping, tracking number included. USD $59.60 in total.

I'm gonna give Dresslink.com:

Mixed feelings. I did loads of research before purchasing on their site. I don't have any problems with their sizing since I'm pretty petite/asian-sized. Like, tiny size forreals.  The sweaters pretty much were over-sized for me.

Shipping costs alot when you think about it. I did my order when they had more discount on items. That was when they had their before year-end 26% off sales. I'll probably won't purchase anything on there if they do not have their deals on.

My take on this : Do your research. Check out what the clothing materials are, your size are. Items maybe a little bit unpredictable. It is much more advisable to shop for accessories and sweaters on this site.

ON A SIDE NOTE
