New Blog Layout + Fairy Drops Volume Burst Review (Pink)


Hey everyone!

So like Le title says, I've got a new blog layout! It's actually all thanks to Wengie and seriously, girl is amazing. So you all should check out her blog ;D

Actually, she was hosting a little giveaway sort of thing to her readers so that they could get a blog makeover so I thought I would join as I am horrible with all these html's. Plus, I was pretty darn unsatisfied with my previous blog layout (lol).

Okay, moving on to the review:

First of all I apologize for all my posts being reviews recently. I've been super busy busy busy with work and life and trust me, it's not exciting so there's not much to share recently :(               *sigh*


Above photos are from the Ebay seller I purchased the mascara from

As some of you may know, I really liked my heroine mascara (reviewed here) but the thing was that it was just TOO waterproof for my liking! So I searched for another mascara that would hopefully satisfy my mascara needs.

I saw very good reviews for fairy drops mascara so I thought I'd give the brand a shot :) I just searched Ebay and picked out one that I'd hopefully like.
And here were the results:


Verdict? I LOVE IT!

However, one thing I must say is that the last two photos, I curled my lashes after applying mascara. Which is what I usually do. The formula is a bit thicker so it weighs down my lashes more so than other mascaras but once I've re-curled them, they'll stay up all day!

Another pro is that these are waterproof BUT can be removed easily with warm water. I was so happy *tear* And yes that's right, tears won't make it smudge ^^

So here's a rundown of the likes and dislikes:

LIKES
adds volume and length
holds curls all day long
waterproof, doesn't smudge
easily removed with warm water

DISLIKES
heavy formula may weigh down lashes after initial curl

Other than that, 
NO COMPLAINTS whatsoever :) there were other mascaras by Fairy Drops as well but I went with this because of the warm water fact ^^


You can search and compare other ones the seller may have as well.




So have any of you tried Fairy Drops mascara? 
or what is your fave mascara?

Let me know by commenting! 
Hope this review helps ^^

Lens Review: EOS New Adult Brown (Blytheye/J-203)

Hai hai,

This will be a quick review as today is the only day that I will have time to blog this week. I've been busy, busy, busy but I guess it's a nice change of pace compared to a few weeks ago. I have things planned out that I'd like to create posts about but time just doesn't permit me to do so as of now, I'll get around to them all eventually, slowly!


Lens Info:

Manufacturer: Dollyeye (EOS)
Diameter : 14.5mm 
Water Content : 38-42%
Life Span : 1 year
B.C. : 8.6mm

Price: $21.50

BEFORE
AFTER

Color&Design: 
I love love love LOVEEE this design! The color is very dreamy, and the shade is slightly golden. There is a defined black ring and the detailing of this lens is just very different and unique. The lenses are quite opaque but they somehow blend into the eyes as the center of the design breaks into smaller specks. 

Enlargement: 
Diameter: 14.5mm
Not the biggest when it comes to enlargement. But I like them just as they are.

Comfort: 
Quite the average lens in terms of comfort, slight dryness after a while of wearing them but nothing out of the ordinary for me. 

Overall: 
I've had these years back and missed them very much so I was glad to wear them again. They create this look that not many lenses give. In person the lenses create a sultry look to your eyes (of course the effect is more so with makeup). The color and design both work well together and the halo for these lenses is just so pretty :D

Also, my bangs are in that awkward growing phase and I'm not going to cut them. Attempt-to-grow-out-my-bangs-number-73856198365. I need to touch up my roots as well.. and get a little trim. I have makeup and lash reviews lined up, got myself a new mascara that I'm lovin' too! Will do those posts soon!


Have a nice day everyone!

Lens Review: BarbieDoll 400 Grey

Hey everyone,

Here is the last review of this series, I'm sure you all are bored of seeing these lenses by now haha
And it seems that my workplace allows me to do my nails! *tears of joy*

Anywho, I've caught the cold for about a week but I'm 98% better now, but from the pictures below you'll see that my eyebags are a bit more apparent so it's just a heads up (lol).


Lens Info:
Manufacturer: Dueba
Diameter : 14.5mm 
Degree Available: 0.00 to -10.00
Life Span : 1 year
Price: $19.50


BEFORE
NATURAL LIGHT
FLASH

Color&Design: 
These are significantly darker than the other colors of this series. The grey is noticeable however if you are a few feet away they seem black. You all know by now that these lenses have a swirling design resembling a hurricane pattern with a thick black outer ring.

Enlargement: 
Diameter: 14.5mm
Very enlarging for lenses of this diameter. Super dolly!

Comfort: 
These were a tad bit more drying than the blue and brown lenses of the same series. Nonetheless no complaints :)


Overall: ☆☆
They are too dark for my liking and are pretty much black from afar. However, if you like black lenses but are too afraid that they might be too dark, these could be an option. They are dolly and cute so whoever likes that look may try these out as well ^^

Not really an ootd.. because I can't go out yet since I'm still coughing :(
But big comfy sweaters and hot tea are what I'm surrounding myself with! 

So here is a quick snap of a huge sweater I recently bought ^^




Stay safe and warm if you guys are getting to the colder months too!
