Review: Geo Eyescream Rayray Gray XMU-A15 ♥sponsored♥

9. October 2013
This is a review of Geo Eyescream Rayray Gray XMU-A15, a gray/brownish circle lens kindly sponsored by www.geocolouredlenses.com. Grey lenses are something I’ve been curious to try for a long time, since I’ve always liked how they looked with dark hair. ^_^

 The product description and specifications below are taken from their web page:
Specification
Power Range: 0.00~-8.00
Diameter: 14.5mm
Base Curve Radius: 8.7
Water Content: 38~42%
1 year disposable
* It is advisable to dispose it within 4 months for regular use or if it starts to cause dryness.
* Please handle with clean hands and soak it with solutions after every usage. 

You can see, that these lenses have a brown colored inner ring. The design is really pretty. These are also larger in diameter than the Geo Magic CM-904 I reviewed before (>>here<<).

 

Design: 

 These lenses are grey colored with a inner circle of brown color. They get darker towards the outer circle, giving the eyes a dolly effect. The color looks nice in natural light and is not artificially opaque but creates a gradiating color effect.


Comfort

  These were even more comfortable to wear than the Geo Magic CM-904 (>>here<<). I had strangely some difficulties in putting these lenses into my eyes, because they tended to fall out before attaching to the eye, but once they were in properly they were super comfortable.


Enlargement:

 I think that this enlargement is the perfect size for me, without being too scary. I have already large eyes and if I wear to extreme lenses I look like a alien. These give the eyes a dolly effect and some enlargement.

Shipping:
 Shipping was provided with tracking number and arrived after 10 business days which is good for standard shipping. Since shipping is free, you cannot complain about the delivery time. The lens vials were securely packed withing bubble wrap.
 You can buy these lenses at www.geocolouredlenses.com for US$ 17.33. they do offer FREE international shipping and all their lenses are genuine. Most of their circle lens models are available with corrective power. Geo lenses are a reliable Korean circle lens brand and the only USA FDA approved circle lens brand.

In total I really liked wearing these lenses. They were comfortable and they provided a nice color. :) Thanks to geocolouredlenses again!:D

Blippo.com – cute stuff from Japan ♥sponsored♥

1. October 2013

I’m a sucker for cute stationary and accessories and I’ve always been! One of the first online stores I got to know a couple of years ago was Blippo. I got some of their items from them for reviewing and I decided to show you what they send me and give you an introduction into their online store.

Blippo

Blippo is a very easy to navigate site. They offer stuff from Japan like Magazines and Candy and Snacks, but also a lot of stationary items and character items from Hello Kitty, San-X (like Rillakkuma, Sentimental circus, Gloomy Bear…), and Ghibli. they have also some fashion items, like bags and purses and cute accessories. Blippo offers free shipping which is really great in my eyes :D

I’ll show you the items, which I received from them ^_^ they’re really, really cute and I fell in love in an instant ♥ (You can click on the images to enlarge them ;) )

Blippo

The first item is a pencil holder from Rilakkuma. It has different motifs on each of the four sides of the box and is divided into three parts in the inner. My favourite image is the one with Rilakkuma dressed as Parisian with some baguettes in his arms XD  It is 10 x 10 x 8 cm and you can buy it here:

Blippo

The second item is a super cute Kiiroitori mini plush ♥ It is around 9 cm in height and has a short chain to put it at your key-chain if you like. I love little chicks, they are so cute and this one is no exception :D You can get it here (this item is on sale at the moment*_*):

Blippo

The last item is a Rilakkuma contact lens case. This is my second Rilakkuma contact lens case. I bought another one a year ago and it is one of my dearest objects *_* This one is super cute as well ♥ It has Rilakkuma’s head on one side and Korilakkuma’s head on the other. There is a second model of this lens where you have Korilakkuma’s and Kiiroitori’s heads. You can buy this one here:

The other model is available here:

Do you know Blippo or do you own some of the items I own? Tell me what you think about them ^_^

That’s it for this time, hope you enjoyed this post ♥

Review: Christine Ladies Argireline Ultra Tightening Mask ♥sponsored♥

27. September 2013
Hey,
Here is another sheet mask review again :D This is about Chistine Ladies Argireline Ultra Tightening Mask sponsored by BeautyChamber. Christine Ladies is a Taiwanese high-end brand. This mask is one of the best selling products from this brand and is available in two types, one is for tightening and one for whitening.

Here is the description of the mask taken from BeautyChamber’s web store:
TIGHTENING:
What makes this mask stand out among millions of others in the market is that it uses Japan’s invisible mask fabric which is 100% cotton fabric with thickness of only 0.03cm. It is able to fully absorb 20ml of essence.Using skin density difference principle, it allows the essence to be quickly transferred to the underlying skin with zero distance between the skin and mask; penetrating the barrier of skin cells so the essence can be 100% utilized.
EFFECTS: Protect skin tissues, repair damaged cells, smooth fine lines, tighten, whiten and moisturize and to increase skin radiance, keeping it in its best condition.
Ingredients: Aqua, Propylene Glycol, sodium Hyaluronate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Butylene Clycol, Saccharamyces, Podophyllum Peltatum Filtrate Extract, Aloe Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Chlorphenesin, Ethoxylated Alkylphenol, Ethoxylated Sorbitan Ester, Fragnance
Most of the ingredients above have moisturizing properties, which makes me assume, that this mask works good on dry skin. The packaging is a shiny dark red. Since this mask is from a Taiwanese high-end brand, the packaging is very mature and simple. I hope you can read the description on the backside. The material is very shiny and reflecting, I couldn’t get a better picture for it >_<”’ The description is in English :)

The fabric of the mask is very thin. It is the first sheet mask that I tried having a very thin and delicate fabric. In order to make it a bit easier to handle the sheet is attached to a plastic film. The mask is soaked thoroughly with the clear essence. While unfolding and arranging it for use I had to be careful not to mess around, but once it was on my face it didn’t drip or anything else. I didn’t like the scent of the mask, but after a few minutes I didn’t smell it anymore and it was okay. While having the mask on my face it was very moisturizing and refreshing. After half an hour the mask did still contain essence and wasn’t dried up. I took it off and left my face to adsorb the rest of the essence on my skin. After that the skin didn’t feel sticky. I felt a pluming effect, too. Unfortunately, I had only one of these masks to try, so I cannot speak about long-term effects. I also didn’t see a whitening effect.

You can get this mask at BeautyChamber for US$ 20 for a box of 6 masks, which is quite expensive compared to other sheet masks. Check out the facebook page of BeautyChamber, too: https://www.facebook.com/beautychamber2013

Review: Miss Hana Lavender Loose Powder Brush ♥sponsored♥

26. September 2013
Hey there :D
Some time ago I presented to you the brand Miss Hana, a Taiwanese brand with really nice products and good quality. I reviewed Miss Hana’s Waterproof Eyeliner Gel Pencil and Natural Born Lip Balm Crayon and I can recommend you to have a look at both of these reviews, because I still love using both of them *_* Today, I’ll be reviewing Miss Hana’s Lavender Loose Powder Brush.
I’m really lazy when it comes to brushes, to be honest. I do not use them often and mostly they don’t get my attention at all. But, when I got this brush by BeautyChamber I was directly in love. ♥

This brush has purple colored and super soft bristles and a white brush handle. The collar between the hair and the handle is golden with the heart-shaped ornament of the brand embroidered. The brush comes with a plastic bag, so you can put it inside of it and prevent damage if you want to take it with you somewhere.

Apart from this powder brush there is a blush brush available called Miss Hana Sweet Cheeks Blush Brush. This one has pink brush bristles and is as cute as the powder brush. You can see the promotional pictures from Miss Hana below:
You can get both brushes at BeautyChamber for US$ 16.99 each. It doesn’t list all the products which are available, so if you are looking for something special, write an Email to Amber, the shop owner, and she’ll give you a quote. She is very nice and answers fast to your emails. She has a blog at http://chamber2u.blogspot.tw/. Check out the facebook page, too: https://www.facebook.com/beautychamber2013

Review: Geo Magic CM-904 Circle Lenses ♥sponsored♥

18. September 2013
Hello ♥
This is a review of Geo Magic CM-904, a blue colored 3 tone circle lens. I was curious how blue lenses would look on my brown eyes, so it made me really happy to get these lenses from www.geocolouredlenses.com.


The lenses arrived safely packed together with a lens case and a business card from geocolouredlenses.

The product description and specifications below are taken from their web page:

Achieve wonderful, beautiful and attractive eyes with GEO Magic three tone circle lenses to match your daily style. 
 
Specification
Power Range: 0.00 ~ -10.00
Diameter: 14.2mm
Base Curve Radius: 8.6
Water Content: 38~42%
1 year disposable*
 
*Please do not use circle lenses more than 3-4 months.  Below you can see how the lenses look on my eyes (you can enlarge the images by clicking):

Design: 

 These lenses don’t have the specific darker circle around like normal circle lenses have. This gives them a very natural look. Also, there are three colors on the lenses, giving them a nice blending effect. They are not as opaque as some other lenses which makes them look a bit dark on natural dark eyes, but with flash light or in natural light you see the difference. For me personally I wished they were a tiny bit more opaque. Nevertheless, I love how natural they turn out.

Comfort:

  Geo Magic Circle lenses are really comfortable. You don’t feel them and I could wear them for 6 hours, even more with eye drops. I wear normally toric lenses on daily basis, which are more comfortable for my personal eyes, but considering that these are not made for people with astigmatism, they are or the comfy side definitely.

Enlargement:
With a diameter of 14.2 these lenses are on the natural side. They don’t enlarge your eyes. I like natural lenses, so for me they are perfect, but if you want a dolly effect you should buy other lenses.
Shipping:
 Shipping was provided with tracking number and arrived after 10 business days which is good for standard shipping. Since shipping is free, you cannot complain about the delivery time. The lens vials were securely packed withing bubble wrap.

 

You can buy these lenses at www.geocolouredlenses.com for US$ 15.65. they do offer FREE international shipping and all their lenses are genuine. Most of their circle lens models are available with corrective power. Geo lenses are a reliable Korean circle lens brand and the only USA FDA approved circle lens brand. You can find information about geocolouredlenses here:
All in all I am really happy with these lenses. Especially that I don’t feel them in my eyes. This is definitely a great plus!

Review: Solone Charming Eyelashes ♥sponsored♥

15. September 2013
Hello :)
This will be a short review on Solone Charming Eyelashes sponsored to me by Beauty Chamber. I presented a product by Solone to you before and described briefly this Taiwanese brand in my blogpost >>here<<.

As you can see these lenses are provided in a plastic packaging, together with a little tube ob eyelash glue.
These lashes are very thick and feathery and really look beautiful. The Lash band is very thick and the material is sturdy. Thus the lashes won’t get broken easily and you can reuse them often. The description on the package is in Taiwanese, but provided with some self explaining images. The provided glue does it job and sticks the lashes properly. I could wear the lashes for more then 6 hours and they didn’t fall off or even loosen themselves the tiniest bit. :)
You can see that these lashes create a very dramatic effect and since they are so thick they feel a bit heavier than naturally designed eyelashes. The feeling was a bit unusual for me, since I rarely wear fake lashes. Nevertheless they are really beautiful in my opinion, but not suitable for daily use.
You can get Solone Alice in Wonderland Collection from Beauty Chamber. It doesn’t list all the products which are available, so if you are looking for something special like this, write an Email to Amber, the shop owner, and she’ll give you a quote. She has a blog at http://chamber2u.blogspot.tw/. Check out the facebook page, too: https://www.facebook.com/beautychamber2013
http://beautychamber.bigcartel.com/
All in all I can say, that the design and the sturdiness is great. But, since they are a bit heavy I only gave 4/5 points.

Introducing MOOTTA and Review on Innisfree It’s Real Masks

30. August 2013

Hello ♥

Did you hear about MOOTTA already? It’s a new start up company in South Korea focusing on Fashion and Beauty. MOOTTA’s main issue is to bring fashion- and beauty-trends from the South Korean Capital Seoul to everybody in the world.
I’m always curious about new companies providing Korean products, since I really love Korean beauty products for quite a while now, and I was always eyeing with their fashion. Unfortunately, a lot of products are limited to Korea only, so I’m always happy if I discover new stores that can provide me with new products that I don’t know yet. Did you know that “mootta” is Korean and means to ask?

Here is how the web store of MOOTTA looks like:

taken from www.mootta.com
MOOTTA‘s web appearance is very clean and nice and easily to navigate. They have a section for beauty and several sections for clothing and accessories. There is also a designer section where you can find pieces of work of various designer, including the finalist of Project Runway Korea. They are trying to provide clothes from designers which are unique and represent Seoul fashion.
The products in the beauty section are selected products from the beauty show in Korea called “Get It Beauty”, where the contestants test and evaluate products without knowing from which brand it is (btw: I like the concept of testing products which are similar without knowing which is which, in this way you tend to be a lot more objective).
MOOTTA was kind enough to send me two sheet masks for reviewing purpose. Both masks are from Innisfree’s It’s Real Mask line. They were neatly packed within a paper bag showing MOOTTA’s logo on it. The masks were send via EMS and arrived after 4 days. I will review the Innisfree It’s Real Rice and the Gold Kiwi Sheet Masks for you today and in a week I’ll be coming up with some other surprise for you. I’ll hope you’ll stay tuned *^_^*
There are 20 different Innisfree It’s Real Masks available. Each displaying the main ingredient used on the package. I like the design of the packaging, although it is not especially cute, but it looks nice and promising. Also, the instructions are written in English on the backside of each package.
taken from www.innisfree.co.kr

Here is the description taken from MOOTTA’s web page:

description:

Innisfree It’s Real Mask is enriched with ingredients, which offers groundbreaking result in brightening up and moisturizing dull skin.
Wonderfully moisturized, deeply nourished and plumped, skin emerges infinitely regenerated. Your skin can be renewed, refined, resilient and radiant upon using it.
 
application:
1. Apply a sheet of mask to toned face. 
2. Leave on for 10 – 20 minutes before tearing off the mask. 
3. Gently massage the whole face with fingertips for better absorption

 

On the back side you’ll find the Korean description. On the Rice mask you’ll also find the instructions and the ingredients in English (I don’t know why it’s all in Korean on the Gold Kiwi mask, probably another batch).
The cotton sheet is smooth and not too thin, neither too thick, and in both cases nicely soaked with the essence without being drippy. Their is no extra-foil attached to the cotton sheet, so you have to be a bit more careful while unfolding it. There is not a lot of essence left within the packaging, but enough to put the rest on your neck, for example.
Concerning the fit of the cotton sheet to the face: A lot of people keep complaining if a sheet mask is not fitting to they face shape. Sheet masks are designed to fit most people, so they have to make a compromise between a lot of different face shapes and sizes. I don’t blame any company for not providing the best fitted cotton sheet for my face. Until now I could always fold the sheet in a way that it stayed on my face nicely and even, and that’s the same case here. :)
I’ll review know each sheet mask separately, because they were different in they consistency and their effect:

Innisfree It’s Skin Rice Mask

The essence of this mask is not a clear liquid, but milky. In my opinion it felt creamier on the skin. The scent was pleasant and didn’t smell like rice at all, but clean and soap-y. I left the mask on my skin for about half an hour and took it off.
After taking off the mask the essence is soaked nicely into and on the skin, but it wasn’t absorbed completely. I waiting for another couple of minutes, but the skin stayed kind of greasy/creamy, probably because the consistency of the essence is more on the creamy side. I decided to go to sleep and have a look at my skin on the next day. And…drum roll….the essence was absorbed, my skin was so plum and soft the next morning I had to touch my cheeks all the time :D My skin also didn’t react negatively to the mask. I was absolutely happy with the result.

Innisfree It’s Skin Gold Kiwi Mask

The essence of the Gold Kiwi Mask is a clear liquid. The scent was fresh and fruity and reminded of Kiwi or something similar :D. I left the mask on my skin for about half an hour and took it off.
Also here, after taking off the mask the essence is soaked into the skin. I waiting for another couple of minutes, before it was absorbed completely and just left a slight stickiness. This one did feel completely different to the creamier Rice Mask.. The next day the stickiness was gone and the face looked refreshed, but it didn’t provide such a nice plum feel of the skin like the Rice mask.
Comparing both masks, I can definitely say, that I loved the Rice Mask a lot. The effect was visible on the next day and my skin felt great. Compared to this, the Gold Kiwi Mask is “simply” refreshing. Nevertheless, both masks have a nice scent and didn’t break me out or anything, and thus are good masks.
You can find them >> here <<. Do you have any favourite Innisfree It’s Real Masks? Which one did you try?
