CIRCLE LENS

Finally I convinced my parents to let me buy circle lens >.< I purchased mine at Panda Sparks a store based in Sydney, chatswood which also has an online shop. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000655872670&sk=wall <--- they respond the quickest here. Since they were having a clearance sale all Geo lens (excluded crazy/super size) were only $12!! I got nudy brown and blue.

Very cute!

Had these soaking 6 hours prior.

Comparision

My ugly face with nudy blue! At first I thought they looked strange, but I LIKE STRANGE!

They don't look so good here with bathroom light, but in RL they are a very electric blue that stand out.

Cute travel case with tweezers, solution bottle and lens case.

 Got it from morning glory Eastwood for $5 they have many more designs.

Much better looking photo!

The nudy browns are more of a hazel green/gray but blend well with my eyes.

The nudy blues are very nice colour!

Overall I gave these a 8/10 comfort because even if it's not irritating you can tell there there all the time.

7/10 for the pattern, a bit too ''teary'' looking for me.

8/10 for enlargement. Good if you want a some ''pop'' but personally i prefer a little more natural looking.

9/10 for colour, wanted a more dark brown for my lens, but the blues were perfect <3

Hehe I'm geting into this circle lens craze now ^^ Might try EOS next >.>

FF13-2 OMFG

Well I was doing my usual browsing at Sankaku Complex ( a website on Japanese culture/news etc) and got stumped on this ---> http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2011/01/18/final-fantasy-xiii-2-announced/
And even if I haven't finished the first game I can't wait for this! Lightnings new outfit- WOW before it was all military and now, she looks like a warrior princess~

hmm I wonder if the old characters make a re-appearence?? (please please please some HopexLightning XP)

sneak peek :D 

Japanese cosmetic loot!

I got to go to Japan at the beginning of December for an exchange trip! Although we got a decent amount of time for shopping I only got a little make up :( It was wonderful to see so many familiar brands such as: Canmake, SANA, Shiseido, Koji, JUJU etc. but I only had a few thousand yen on me left so I picked up the one's that caught my eye the most.

On the left (clockwise): Maybeline's ''Baby lips'' chapstick, Yojiya's ''Yuzu Tsuyaya'', Shiseido's ''intergrate'' brown eyeliner and Dollywink's eyeshadow ''No. 4 GREEN PINK.










1. Maybeline's ''Baby lips''



They had 2 versions on this. One was Orange labeled ''energizing'' and this one labled ''relieving''. I went for this one just because I like green more than orange.
It has no colour, but leaves a layer on sheen on your lips. It has a really nice menthol smell and a fresh feeling in the skin. Definitely relieving. A good purchase for around 380 yen.




2. Shiseido's ''Intergrate'' brown eyeliner




Forgot how much I got this for but it was a decent price as I got it from a Lawson's. When on it's quite a soft line. Smudges easily for me on the bottom last line, but on the top it's fine.






3. Yojiya's ''Yuzu tsuyaya''

Here's the description on the back of the packaging:

''Yuzu Tsuyaya is a luxurious lip cream made with four of nature's finest oils and sericin, a natural moisture retainer. One of the oils used in this cream comes from the yuzu (Japanese lime) which is famous for its fresh fragrance.
Use Yuzu Tsuyaya and feel fresh.''

I have to admit, the description got my attention (promotion for the writer) and got me to buy it. It was around 800-900 yen. Also, my friend told me this was a famous brand so that's a plus :) (I'm such a sucker). The smell is really fresh and yummy and this balm doesn't make my lips feel slimy. It has a silky feel when applying. It feels natural and keep my lips from drying up outside. I still dislike the pot packaging though, but it gives this product a traditional ''aura''.

4. Dollywink's eyeshadow in GREEN AND PINK!

Dollywink is a branch of the brand Koji by Tsubasa Masuwaka. I bought one of it's newest products- the eyeshadow! there were 4 different types a brown one, a blue and orange one, a grey and pink one and the green and pink. I thought the green/pink one was the most fun looking so I got it, although I was debating whether to go for the most natural brown compact. Each one piece has 4 colours  to help you achieve a certain look. this one promotes a ''colourful pop'' one.


















The sandy glitter didn't really show up even with 2 swipes so it is a very subtle highlighter. The blue doesn't look as bright as on the model (duh) but layering it would be the best way to go about it.However the pink was very vibrant with only 1 swipe! The glittery black was also noticeable and created a good shadow. The eyeshadow swiper doesn't distribute the product evenly, so I think I'll use my own make up brushes next time. Quite disappointed in the results I think you can achieve the pop look with a more cheaper palette. However the packaging was mega cute.
So to make this product work you just got to use a lot more product than normal. :/ Still a fun little compact!
Would not buy again.




Next time when I go to Japan I'm definitely buying more SANA & the famous Canmake blushers >.<
