Review: My new glasses from Firmoo ♥sponsored♥

6. January 2014
Happy new year everybody! Long time no see, but finally I’m back and I have a lot of new reviews on my list. I was so busy during the holidays, that I had barely no time for doing anything for my blog. I’ll start off this years first review with a pair of glasses which were kindly sent to me by www.firmoo.com. I was very happy when they asked me to review their glasses and even more happy that I could get the glasses in my prescription.^_^

Probably some of you have already heard about www.firmoo.com, a popular online eyeglasses shop. They offer varieties of prescription glasses for affordable prices. they offer a huge variety of Men’s and Women’s Glasses and of sunglasses as well. I was pretty amazed at the selection and I had a hard time to decide which ones to choose. Finally I selected a pair of unisex full frame acetate glasses in tortoise (black with brownish freckles). These glasses are the kind of fashionable nerd glasses you see quite often in the web. My other pair of glasses a bit smaller than these, but I really wanted to try larger and more nerdy glasses XD. Here is the link to my glasses:

The glasses came pretty fast and they were provided with a bunch of accessories: a free hard protective spectacle case, an eyeglass bag and a piece of micro-fibre lens cloth. They also enclosed a repair kit including screws, screwdrivers and replacement nose pads, which I didn’t expect at all and it made me very happy. Since I’m wearing glasses since my childhood I experienced it quite often that the screws get loosen by the time. This kit is more then helpful in my opinion.

What really helped me to select the proper pair of glasses is the virtual try-on system that they provide on their page. You can either upload a picture of you or use the example pictures, to see how the glasses look on you. I used one of the example pictures which had the same PD (pupillary distance) value  and it turned out perfectly and was just as I imagined it to be.

One thing I have to mention at this point: It is important to know your exact values for your glasses, even if you don’t need prescription I can recommend you to get your pupillary distance (PD) measured by an optician. This is important to get glasses which fit you.

I have to say, that I really liked their service. I had some difficulties ordering by myself, but they helped me very quickly and did the order for me. Another thing which is really great for anybody who never bought glasses online before is the “Free Glasses” event they provide (http://www.firmoo.com/free-glasses.html). Every day they provide a limited amount of coupons for a pair of free glasses. All free frames come complete with 1.50 single vision lenses, complimentary cases, cleaning cloth and other accessories. You just need to pay shipping. It’s a great way to test, if the way of ordering glasses online convinces you, or not.
 
I can recommend Firmoo to everybody who wants to buy glasses online. Check out their page at:

Review: Geo Princess Mimi Sesame Grey Bambi Series ♥sponsored♥

24. December 2013
♥ Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you have some nice holidays ♥

My first pair of circle lenses were Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green (review >>here<<) and since then I was always very curious about the Geo Princess Mimi Sesame Grey (Bambi Series) lenses of this series and I’m happy that MapleLens send these lenses to me. The circle lens pattern is designed by Tsubasa Masuwaka, one of the most influential and popular Japanese teen models. She is also modelling in the advertise of those lenses and she looks gorgeous with all of the lenses. 


As before, when I got lenses from MapleLens they arrived pretty fast via EMS. They were packed safely and came in a cute present box together with an animal lens case in shape of an elephant *_*

 

Here are the properties for the lenses:
Diameter : 15.0mm
Water Content : 42%
Base Curve : 8.7mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal
Design: 
I like the design! The colors blend in nicely with my natural brown eye color. there are brown dots towards the center of the lenses which design a nice blending effect. I was happy with the design of the green ones, too, and these are the same.
Comfort:
 Although I should wear toric lenses, I could wear this lenses for quite a while. After 3 hours I applied some eye drops and then it was no problem to wear them for another 4 hours. The diameter of the lenses was no problem at all, but I’m used to use contacts every day anyways.
Enlargement:
Enlargement is really huge! The thick black circle ring makes your eyes really big and dolly. If you apply some eye make-up it looks nice and not too much like an alien :D But if you want to use them without any make up they can easily look strange.
Shipping:
  Super fast shipping thanks to EMS.♥
Below you can see how these lenses look on my eyes.
All in all these lenses are perfect if you want to create a dolly effect. Because of the black outward circle they do not look natural, but really like doll’s eyes. If you are looking for a huge enlargement I can recommend you to go for these. If you like natural lenses more, then I don’t think these are a good choice. I really like the color and the effect, but I don’t wear these lenses every day.
You can buy these lenses at MapleLens for US$ 20.90. Check out the facebook page, too: https://www.facebook.com/MapleLens

Review: Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick Plum Burgundy ♥sponsored♥

26. November 2013
Today’s review is about Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick in shade No.5 called ‘Plum Burgundy‘. Burgundy is one of the most raved about colors for this years autumn and I was really curious about Innisfree’s Color Glow Lipstick after I saw that they offered two different Burgundy shades for their Color Glow Lipstick Line. They offer a range of 10 different shades by the way and it was really difficult to decide on only one, even for the two burgundy shades I could not decide which one I liked more. I ended up with ‘Plum Burgundy’ because it looked more on the red toned side on the promo pictures. Actually, I imagined the color different, but I love this lipstick anyway. Keep reading if you want to know about the details :)

This lipstick was send to me by twofacemall for reviewing purpose. Below you see the description which was written on the box. It is mainly in Korean, but the important points are descriped by the images and keywords on one side of the package:
The packaging itself is clean and simple as it is typical for Innisfree. The box is from recycled paper and printed on with soy ink. I like there design, although it is simple, but I think the white lipstick looks very elegant.
The lipstick itself contains 3.5 g. Since this lipstick is very moisturizing, it can imagine that it is easily breakable. I think this is also the reason for the metal supporting thing around the lipstick. You can wind it up more, if you want, nevertheless.
The color of the lipstick was hard for me to get with my camera. It is a burgundy red shade, as the name also said. Nevertheless, the shade is more on the pink side and not that dark as I thought it would be. Nevertheless, it looks really nice on the lips. Below you can see the swatch of the lipstick on my hand and the lipstick applied on my lips.
The color payoff is really nice though and as you can see on the swatches this lipstick is really far from drying up your lips. It gives them such a nice glossy finish (without being sticky like lip gloss, hehe). Everybody with dry lips who has been afraid of wearing lipsticks because they could be too drying or make the lips look even drier should give Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick a try. Since this is my first Innisfree lipstick, I don’t know if the other lipsticks they provide are similar nor do I know if they are better or worse. I think I will try some more of their lipsticks, probably also from this line.
I really like this lipstick and I like the color, although I thought that it would be a darker shade. The staying power is normal, but the smoothness on the lips and the moist feeling are really nice.
As I mentioned above, I received this from twofacemall and you can get it from their shop for US$18.00. They offer free worldwide shipping, too, and they give samples with every order.

Review: Etude House Lash Perm 3 Step Volumescara Black Minnie Edition ♥sponsored♥

25. November 2013
I’ve been wondering for a long time if it is worth a try to buy a mascara from an Asian brand, but I actually never new which one to try first. And each time I was really in need of a mascara, I preferred to buy one in the local drugstores here in Germany. On the other hand, I heard a lot of positive feedback about Etude House’s Lash Perm 3 Step Volumescara, and luckily twofacemall gave me the opportunity to finally try this mascara. (^_^)/ ♥
I was not really aware of the fact, that they changed the packaging of the Lash Perm 3 Step Volumescara for the Etude House XOXO Minnie collection, but it’s only the packaging which they changed. The mascara itself is the same as it was before. Actually, since I already was in love with the XOXO Minnie collection before (see my reviews on the other products from this collection >>here<< and >>here<<), it made me even more happy, that I got this :D
Here is the description for Etude House’s Lash Perm 3 Step Volumescara and some pictures of the packaging ♥:
The mascara is not the largest one, but you can change between 3 steps in order to create the desired degree of volume on your lashes. The wand is on the shorter side, but it was easily to use and handle. The color of this mascara is black, but it is available in brown, too (for the standard packing though). Since I already have long lashes (at least I’m happy with the length), I was especially curious for the volume. I tried to show the effects on some pictures, but I don’t know if it is visible nicely :/ , but I can tell you, that this mascara totally convinced me: It gives my lashes a curl that lasts all day long and it makes them appear perfectly dense when applying the 3 steps. And this is all I want from a good mascara. Also, although I was not primarily looking for any lengthening, this mascara lengthens my lashes visible and it didn’t smudge all over and around my eyes during the day. The only thing which is not included in this mascara is waterproof-ness, but it doesn’t claim to be waterproof either.
I can totally recommend this mascara and I’m really happy that I finally did try an Asian mascara. If you are looking for a fun-to-use mascara which gives you volume and length and a nice curl you can go perfectly fine with this one.
As I mentioned above, I received this from twofacemall and you can get it from their shop for US$15.90. The mascara contains 9.5 g. The brown mascara is available for US$15.26. They offer free worldwide shipping, too, and they give samples with every order.

Review: Neo Vision Dali Extra Size Blue Circle Lenses ♥sponsored♥

19. November 2013
Today’s review is about Neo Vision Dali Extra Size Blue Circle Lenses sponsored by KlensPop. Thanks to them in first place ♥ KlensPop is a online store for Korean Circle Lenses. They provide lenses in different diameters, color and also with prescription. I’ll get right to the lenses I received:

First of all, what a cute lens case they included! *_* I love it so much, the picture on it is so cute with the whale on it. I love that they didn’t just add the typically boring lens cases, but instead this one, which even comes with a tiny plastic tweezers. 

The lens vials were packed inside this package and were surrounded by bubble wrap for a save delivery.

 

Here is the description for the lenses, taken from KlensPop’s web page:
Specification
Power Range: 0.00~-7.50
Diameter: 14.0 mm 
Graphic Diameter: 13.60 mm
Base Curve Radius: 8.6
Water Content: 38%
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

 

Design: 

 These lenses have a bright blue color and a very clean and simple design. The outer border is darker for giving the appearance of dolly eyes. The lenses have a nice blue color with flash photography, but even without flash they give you a dark blue hue.


Comfort

I had the feeling they were not as comfortable as Geo lenses, but they were really okay concerning the comfort. I could wear them all day long and used once eye drops only.


Enlargement:

Perfect size of enlargement in my eyes. They make your eyes pop without being scary.

Shipping:
 Shipping was free. The lens vials were securely packed withing bubble wrap and a cute lens case was provided. I’m absolutely happy. ♥
 You can buy these lenses at http://klenspop.com for US$ 19.00. They do offer FREE shipping and all their lenses are genuine. You can find information about KlensPop here: 

web store link: http://klenspop.com
and

 

 
 
I think these lenses give the eyes a nice hue of blue and have a nice color, too :) They’re comfortable and on plus they give a nice dolly effect. I like them actually more then the Neo Vision Two Tone Blue Circle lenses I reviewed previously (>>here<<). On top I got a super cute lens case ♥  Thanks to KlensPop for sending me these lenses!:D

Review: Hadalabo Shirojyun Medicated Bikhaku Whitening Facial Mask ♥sponsored♥

14. November 2013
Here is a short sheet mask review again. This time it is Hadalabo’s Shirojyun Medicated Bikhaku Whitening Face Mask I received from BeautyChamber. This is Japanese brand I heard from often, but never tried.

The packaging is nothing special and rather boring with a lot of Japanese characters on the front and a detailed Japanese description on the back. Unfortunately there is no English description on it, but actually we can guess, that this mask is to be used in the same way as all the other sheet masks.
I’d love to know the ingredients of this mask, but unfortunately I couldn’t find them anywhere. So if you have any idea what the sheet mask essence contains, please write a comment. I think it contains Arbutin as whitening ingredient. At least the scent of the essence was rather medical. the sheet was soaked nicely with essence and wasn’t dripping, although I thought it might happen. the essence absorbed also quickly into the skin. As to the effects: I had the feeling my skin was brightened. That was great because I didn’t think to notice anything after only using one mask. The downside was (apart from the scent, which is not my favourite) that I had the feeling that the mask left my skin with a dry feeling. Did anyone else try this mask and had the same experience? I personally would not repurchase it, simply because of the dry feeling of the skin afterwards, but if you like to try the brightening effect you can probably just use a moisturizer afterwards.Unfortunately I don’t know how much this costs, but I think that you’ll be able to buy it in a box. I saw these in a 4 piece box on www.sasa.com for 11.50 US$ on sale.
You can get this mask from BeautyChamber. It is not listed on the online store, but you can ask for a quote. Check out the facebook page of BeautyChamber, too: https://www.facebook.com/beautychamber2013

Review: Neo Vision 2 Tone Blue Circle Lenses ♥sponsored♥

6. November 2013
This is a review of Neo Vision 2-Tone Blue Circle Lenses kindly sponsored by www.kpop2.com. I think it is difficult for dark eyed people to find blue circle lenses which look natural nevertheless. I was really curious how these really affordable lenses would do on my eyes. So let’s see what I think about them :)

The product description and specifications below are taken from their web page:
Specification
Power Range: 0.00~-10.00
Diameter: 13.5mm (total 14.0mm)
Base Curve Radius: 8.4
Water Content: 38 %
Duration of use: 6 month or more*
 
* 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. 
These are similar in diameter as the Geo Magic CM-904 I reviewed before (>>here<<). In contrast to the Geo lenses, these lenses are composed of two different blue colors. A nice design all in all.
Design: 

The design of these lenses is pretty nice. It is composed of two blue colors and it gets darker towards the outside. Nevertheless it is not very special or overwhelmingly beautiful. The blue shows off nicely with flash and really pops, but on the other hand is rather unnatural. In normal light the blue is barely visible on my dark eyes. It’s more a blue hue.

Comfort

  Compared to the Geo lenses I tried the last times, these are less comfortable. Nevertheless it was very easy to put them in and I even didn’t feel them at first. Afterwards my eyes became dry, but eyedrops make it okay.


Enlargement:

These lenses don’t give much of enlargement. The eyes appear a bit more open, because of the darker color towards the outside of the lens, but these lenses are on the normal and natural side considering the diameter.

 

You can buy these lenses at www.kpop2.com for US$ 10.99. They do offer FREE international shipping and offer you to pick a free insurance for the delivery. I think their prices are really affordable and they have quite a range of different lenses that it is worth to take a look at their web store if you don’t know it and are a circle lens lover. Overall, these lenses were nice. The design didn’t take me off, but the price keeps it in balance, so it’s worth trying.

  Thanks again to www.kpop2.com for sending me these lenses.

asian cosmetics asian fashion beauty Born Pretty Store review

Review: Taiwan False Handmade Eyelashes from BornPrettyStore

15. October 2013
Here is a review for a box of different style eyelashes I got from www.bornprettystore.com. These false eyelashes are handmade and from Taiwan.

They come in a simple white box with the shape of a heart cut out on the front. I like the cute box, although it is very simple. The box contains 10 different false eyelashes. The material used is high quality fiber and the lash bands are very thin. This way the lashes appear very natural.
BornPrettyStore also included a little gift with the package, a pen in shape of a lipstick. The idea is really funny and nice :D Thanks again to BornPretty ♥

The lashes have a soft feel and give a very natural appearance, since the band is very thin and transparent. The disadvantage of the thin band is, that you have to be more careful not to break it. But this didn’t happen to me yet :D The different designs are really pretty and you have lashes which make your look more dramatic or lashes which are on the simple side. Below I will show you three different lashes from this box which each create another effect. Except of the lashes I added my eyes are bare on each picture without any additional make-up. Normally I would prefer to use eyeliner at least which makes the lashes look much prettier.

The box doesn’t contain any lash glue, so if you consider buying these keep that in mind. You can get the lashes at BornPrettyStore for US$ 5.99 and you can use the coupon code KBX31 for a 10% discount :) They offer free shipping, too! I think this is a pretty affordable box of nice differently designed lashes and recommend them to anyone who wants to try some different styles.

asian cosmetics beauty Beautychamber review

Review: Mitomo DayLight& Mi 109 Herb Mask Sheet Lithospermi Radix ♥sponsored♥

15. October 2013
I have so many sheet masks to review, I don’t dare buy anything new until I’m done, haha. Better I start of with one of the reviews. Here is a Japanese mask from the company Mitomo called DayLight& Mi 109 Herb Mask Sheet containing Lithospermi Radix. I received this mask from BeautyChamber. Thanks again!

Mitomo is a Japanese company selling a lot of different sheet masks, but also other skin care products. They have a official site at www.mitomos.com. This sheet mask I will review is one of their Herb Sheet Masks containing Lithospermi Radix. Lithospermi Radix is used in Chinese and Japanese Traditional Medicine because of its anti-inflammatory properties. There is a short description on Lithospermi Radix on the front of the sheet mask packaging, which is in english, too!

I must say, the scent of this mask was not pleasant to me…I was really reluctant to put it on my face at all, but finally I did, and then after a while I didn’t smell the scent anymore-luckily. The mask sheet was soaked nicely with the clear essence. It was not dripping or anything. Unfortunately, unfolding was a bit difficult, because there was no plastic sheet attached or similar. Nevertheless it didn’t tear appart. After I removed the mask and the remaining essence was absorbed my skin stayed sticky.
sorry, for my chipped nails >_<
By the way, except of feeling moisturized I didn’t feel anything special about this mask, unfortunately…
Since it is okay in this point and has a terrible scent on the other hand I would not repurchase it personally. But perhaps someone had made other experiences with this product? Please feel free to comment :)

You can get this mask from BeautyChamber. I don’t know how much this mask costs, because it is not listed on the online store, but you can ask for a quote. Check out the facebook page of BeautyChamber, too: https://www.facebook.com/beautychamber2013
