Sephora Black Friday 2016 Deals + Recommendations

It is that time of the year again where I go a little crazy with Sephora shopping. I love the Sephora Black Friday sale as it is an opportunity for me to try a lot of new items at a fraction of the price. Last year, I hoped on some great deals, so this year I was super excited to see what's in store for me with the 2016 Sephora Black Friday sale! (Please note that the following prices are in USD. Last year the conversion to CAD was $10 = $13).

Circle Lenses Review: Geo Xtra Brown 3 Tone Circle Lens WTB74 + CircleLensesUSA Review

Hi guys! I'm back with another circle lenses review! This time, CirclelensesUSA sent over a pair for me to review. Because I am from Canada, the owner had a limited list of lenses for me to choose from. I chose Geo Xtra Brown 3 Tone Circle Lens WTB74. Even though the name said "brown", it looked gray online and I was looking for a natural gray, so I chose it. ^_^

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Brand:	GEO
Manufacture:	GEO Medical Inc.
Origin:	South Korea
Model:	WT-B74
Diameter:	15.0 mm
Base Curve:	8.7 mm
Water Content:	40%
Life Span:	1 Year
Packaging	A Pair (2) of Circle Lenses

$16.95 USD 

Because the order shipped from Canada, it took only a few days. It didn't come with a lense case but that was alright. I'm not sure if they send it normally but I didn't get one so if you are ordering from them, maybe ask them whether they send one?

Very beautiful design, reminds me of a daisy.

Comfort: 2/5 

To be honest, they were fairly uncomfortable. Not sure if my eyes were dry or what but I really felt them in my eyes and they itched throughout. However, I only tried them once so I wouldn't count them out in comfort.

Colour: 5/5 

I LOOOVE the colour. They look like a warm silver with a hint of green; very beautiful on dark eyes. They are very vibrant in real life and they give a "shiny" look to your eyes and just make you look amazing!

Sorry I only took natural lighting photos with my phone and the quality isn't very nice.

Review: Punky Colour by Jerome Russell Hair Dye (Image Heavy)

I've wanted to dye my hair a funky colour for almost a year. I didn't really go through with it until 2 months ago. I did a lot of research but I couldn't get myself to do it due to my job. But after my friend Zoe recommended me Punky Colour, I decided yolo, let's do it!

I originally wanted Howl's hair colour

I knew that you have to get almost white hair to achieve blue but I thought even if fail, it would hopefully turn Alpine Green (as you can tell below, I actually want Alpine Green too since I also bought the dye for it) . So this is my adventure.

Punky colour from MatandMax.com

I bought my bleach and developer at Sally's

Circle Lenses Review - Bunny Color Brown from Klenspop

Klenspop was kind enough to send over Bunny Color Brown for me to review. Below is the picture on the website.

Comfort: 5/5 These lenses are very comfy! They are slightly thinner than most circle lenses but not nearly as thin as the Grang Grang lenses. They are easy to put in and you don't even realize you have lenses in! Perfect!

Colour: 4/5 Rarely do I like brown lenses but this pair...unf! The colour is vibrant and had a golden tone underneath. You really can see the light brown even in natural lighting.

Design: 5/5 One of my favourite things about this pair is the design. I don't know how they did it, but the design is natural yet supernatural. The details are subtle, with thin feathery lines but the colour payoff makes it look like a sun. I absolutely love it!

Enlargement: 2/5 Being a 14mm, it did just as it suppose to. But if you want a dolly, cute, enlargement, find another pair. 

Circle Lenses Review: Cara Violet from Klenspop

Welcome back! My blogger just crashed and I lost my post ;3;) ugh, even when I saved it as a draft. BOOOO. Anyway, I am here to review Cara Violet. These lense were sent by Klenspop for an honest review.

Comfort (3/5)

These were very comfy. It didn't even feel like I had lenses in. However, I only worn them for 3 hours so I can't really say how long they last. I think they are on the thicker side, which is a pro for me (lol easier to put in).

Circle Lenses Review: Xie Brown and Xie Black from Klenspop

I'm back~ How's everyone going? I started work this term with coop and I'm soooo happy~~ People are sooo nice at my workplace and the tasks are very fulfilling. Anyway, let's start on the review. Klenspop decided to sponsor me with 3 pairs of lenses this time! Wowww! Thank you soooooo much! They let me chose one pair from the list and gave me 2 pairs that are required to review. I chose Cara Violet (review coming soon) and the two below, Xie Brown and Xie Black were required.

Modelled on the site, Xie Brown

Modelled on the site, Xie Black

Diameter: 14.0mm. Graphic Diameter: 13.5mm. Base Curve: 8.6. Water Content: 38%. Disposable: 1 year

Comfort (3/5)

These were okay. They don't "disappear" in my eyes (aka "I know that I have contacts in my eyes" feeling). I worn them for about 2 hours and they didn't dry up on me. I know 2 hours isn't a lot but I had to review some other lenses.

Taobaoring Review, A Taobao Agent. All the Pros and Cons.

Months back (I think back in November or so) my friends on Facebook decided to do a Taobao group order. And finally we got our package (not because of TBR's faults, but because I'm cheap ;3)

My friend decided on using Taobaoring. So this is my Taobaoring review. :3

Pros of Taobaoring

• I think what stood out from the whole experience was how VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY patient the agents were. There were a lot of miscommunications on our side because it was a group order and it was a big ong. Taobaoring handled all the confusion and all the mishaps so well. They were very patient and understanding. They let us know if there were anything wrong with our order, if we were missing any info. Honestly, if I was on their end, I would've totally quit on the order lolol (seriously, we were a pain to deal with). This is why I think Taobaoring really has amazing service.
• Second, they have a shipping method most agents don't offer: SEA (surface) shipping (for the cheapos). SEA shipping takes MONTHS. On Taobaoring's website, under Tracking Skills, there is an approx time for each international shipping method. It says on the site that it takes 2- 3 months, but worst can get up to 4+ months. Since we ordered right around the Chinese New Year, I knew this was gonna be bad >~<), but my school doesn't end until April, I didn't mind waiting months for the package. Our order' shipping took 74 days, which was worst than average but expected.  So you can say Taobaoring is the cheapest agent out there if you don't mind waiting.

3 Months Worth of Haul: Forever 21, Wigs, Circle Lenses, Lashes and More

Last week I did my elf makeup haul (which I order last Dec), and I think people liked it (I hope they did because I love reading haul posts and I thought I sum up the stuff I got in the mail ever since January! YES JANUARY!)

School is stressing me out so I shop.

Anyway, LET'S START!

Bought from Forever 21.

This Month's Forever 21 haul :3 ahahha. They had a over $25 free shipping thing so my sister wanted to order.

I forgot the names of what I bought, but if you are interested in the item, I'm sure I can search it up for you ^_____~

elf Makeup Haul! Wooot makeup!!!

So back in December I bought from ELF when they had their 50% off on all items. And I received everything in January and keep on forgetting to do a haul post for it. XD I kind of ordered a LOT since I was in need of so many things anyway. I was in a desperate eyeliner, foundation, concealer shortage, so it was super awesome that ELF (who is a super inexpensive drugstore brand) to decide to be even cheaper.

Everything came in a huge box and in a ELF transparent bag.

Yup, I needed eyeliner and really wanted to try out some gel/cream eyeliner. So I kind of order a lot, most in black but also brown, blue and plum.

Special: Before and After Makeup featuring I.Fairy Tofi Grey from Uniqso

The lovely Uniqso decided to sponsor me in a Before and After Makeup post with circle lenses. I was so pleased. I chose I.Fairy Tofi Grey because I had really wanted to try out the I.Fairy Tofi series and I was in need of a pair grey lenses. This was my "back up" lenses for my Mikasa Ackerman cosplay. If you seen my Typon Grey/Gray review, you will see that I wanted to try that one for my Mikasa cos as well.

Before I go into the whole lens review (which will come tomorrow). I want to mention why I like makeup and why I do it. And I'll stop you right there. Before I start, I will say that I am not satisfied with my no makeup look and please don't say "but you are so pretty" types of comment. You have to admit that I look better with makeup right? Unless you think my makeup skills suck. Aha ._______. But I'm sure most of you feel the same about makeup, how they make you feel prettier. And it isn't like I am not confident about my no makeup look. I know I am not pretty, but I can live with it. I don't wear makeup at all. Like seriously, I have to wake up at 6:30 most mornings, I really don't have the energy for makeup. Sleep > Makeup.

Yamuraiha from Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic Makeup Cos Test Part 1

Ahaha that cray cray first picture....yeah, sorry about that. I was having fun with the filters.

Okay, Magi is one of my favourite manga/anime because I LOVE ANYTHING MAGIC related! Plus I totally dig the Arabian, Alibaba, Aladdin whole thing :3 I seriously want to cos EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER FROM MAGI but I'm too poor and seriously not fit to cos them all. The first character I ever wanted to cos was Yamuraiha. She is just so bamf and pretty and gaahhh~ The sexuall tension between Sharrkan and her...UNF OTP!

Anyway, I know the makeup is not perf and I don't have the whole costume but it is a try right?

Oh yeah, it is PART 1 since I haven't edited all the pictures I took. LOLOLOL. I'll post more in the coming weeks. So get ready for some spam~~

Female Eren Jaeger Makeup & Hair Cos Test

LOL COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER AND DOESN'T LOOK LIKE EREN AT ALL! Not off to a great start!! XD

Some of you might've saw my FB page updates. ^w^ Well, here's an actual post on my makeup and hair attempt for my Eren Jaeger Cos.

This all started because my friend Annabelle wanted to cosplay Levi. <3 asdfghjk! Her Levi is going to be perfect! So the story was that I kind of got influenced and wanted to do a SnK cos. Of course, I picked (and also Annabelle picked) Eren because then we can cos as a team. <3 OTP. ^^

Anyway, I posted some photos below and some of my own criticisms. XD I followed zWinnieYap's makeup look but since I'm not as pro as her....kind of failed on so many levels.

Makeup Testing: Judal and Aladdin Inspired Looks

One night I was lying in bed and thought "ummm...I wanna do a Magi inspired look" so next day, I tried it out. This is not the final look, it is more like a trial run. Either way I had fun and put effort into it.

PS! WATCH MAGI! OR READ THE MANGA! IT IS FAABBBUUULLOOOUUUSS!!
