Review: Geo Tricolor Green Circle Lenses


I purchased my Geo Tricolor Circle lenses at eyecandylens.com. The prices are around twenty-five dollars and shipping is free. This is a company that I would trust buying contacts from. I had no problems with my order and the shipping time was reasonable

THIS IS WHAT THE CONTACTS LOOK LIKE ON ME    ( :


I really like these lenses because they are natural looking. The lenses enlarge slightly, which is perfect for people who want their eyes to look unnoticeably bigger.


I don't wear these lenses that much just because I'm not used to seeing myself with green eyes, so when I wear these I fear that I may look weird, or something ridiculous like that. 


I also like the design of these contacts. When I wear these it looks like I have green eyes, its really cool. The style of the lenses are so subtle and natural that it doesn't even look like you are wearing contacts. I love circle lenses just because most of them are made this way. 

My eyes are naturally hazel

Here is the packaging eyecandylens sent me



eyecandylens gave me this cute bag with my purchase! 

This is the cute case eyecandylens gave me
 If you have any questions about these circle lenses don't be afraid to ask! : )

Bath&Body Works Haul



Just before Christmas in December 2011, Bath and Body Works had a temporary sale, buy 3 products and get 3 free. I figured this was the perfect opportunity to get christmas presents, so I ended up spending quite a bit of money for my family. Luckily, I was able to get free shipping and use a promo code with my order, which saved me about 40 dollars! Most of the products I bought were the seasonal products and sometimes with the seasonal items they don't  make them again, so choose wisely. 



L: Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Center:Winter Candy Apple R:Pink Sugarplum

Pink Sugarplum Body Lotion
Pink Sugarplum: Pink sugarplum has a strong sweet smell to it but it's not terrible. It's a girly product that smells similar to raspberries or strawberries. 





Winter Candy Apple: Winter Candy Apple has a more dominant smell but it also has a sweet smell like pink sugarplum, I really like it, I think I use this one the most. 


 Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin: This body mist only has undertones of cinnamon and pumpkin, its not very noticeable at first, you have to wait a couple seconds before you can actually start to notice the scent. This one is very dominant smelling just because their seems to be less of a scent and more of an alcohol smell. I probably won't be buying this one again. I was hoping for more of a stronger smell with more pumpkin.

NYX Blush In Pinky: Review

NYX Pinky


Swatches:
With Flash




Without Flash



REVIEW:

DESIGN: 
_______

easy to use, light weight, and compact.

QUANTITY: 
_________

Even though this blush comes in a small container it is very pigmented. Since the product is so pigmented the color shows up quite strongly on your face. It wouldn't be surprising if this blush lasted you for at least a year of everyday use. 

PRICE:  
______

This blush is very affordable, prices range between 4-6 dollars for this cosmetic. Plus it lasts a long time since you don't need a lot of the product on your face. So its worth those extra bucks. 

QUALITY: 
________

Unfortunately, when you use the product the thin top layer gets very powdery and loose. It can be a bit annoying because the excess product dust tends to build up after each application and can be very messy if not blown off. Besides that it gives you the perfect pink complexion. Be aware, however, of the quantity you use, you don't want to look like a clown. 

OVERALL:  
______________

In the end the NYX Pinky is a five star blush. You just can't beat the price, appearance, and quantity this blush has to offer. It shows up nicely on your skin if applied lightly and the price is very affordable compared to products like M.A.C. The blush will also last forever, therefore it can't be beat, unless pink isn't your color. Haha.

HARAJUKU LOVERS FRAGRANCE: LOVE




Have you heard of the Harajuku Lovers Fragrance by Gwen StafaniIf not, it is this marvellous perfume that smells quite radiant. The fragrance is not too watered down to the point it is a body spray, and it didn't give me that headache that other perfumes do. I just hate that feeling, that is why I am very picky when it comes to perfume. I want a stronger smell that body mist doesn't offer and one that won't leave me feeling nauseous.That's why I got really lucky when I picked 'Love' because I wasn't exactly sure how it smelled or how strong it was. I know how stupid right? Since I got this at Ross there were no samples or testers to choose from so I had to buy this at my own risk. In the end it turned out to be quite the positive experience.


In the collection there are five dolls. Their names from left to right:
LOVE, LITTLE ANGEL, MUSIC, BABY, AND G. Gwen has other versions of the same doll as well. One of them is like a summer theme and the dolls are strutting bikinis and tan skin. The one I have is LOVE and it smells really nice. I haven't tried any of the others but if LOVE smells good I'm sure the others smell just as good. Below is my rating of the HARAJUKU FRAGRANCE called LOVE.   
DESIGN: 
___________
cute appearance, well-made, unique design, and trendy. Really, what's not to love? 


Quantity: 
___________
unfortunately there is not a lot of perfume that is supplied with this fragrance. With a price of $30.00USD this perfume may not be what your looking for. It does have a small quantity, but if used on special occasions it could last a long time. That's what I do and I bought this at least a year ago and I still have juice. However, if used regularly it will not last very long. 


PRICE: 
_________
I bought this fragrance at Ross for exactly $30.00USD. In my opinion thirty dollars is about average for a perfume but there are some places online that are selling this perfume for a little under thirty dollars. It depends where you search. Ebay would be a great site to search for bargains. Also be aware that their is a smaller size than the original, which is 10ml, the original amount is 30ml. So if you think your getting a good price check that before buying. Like I said before, I bought this at least a year ago so the price probably went down. 

OVERALL: 
______________
overall this is a good perfume, It's not to strong and its not to light. If you are the type of person that prefers strong perfume I wouldn't recommend this to you because it's more in-between. Despite the quantity that is supplied with this perfume the design and price make up for it.

UWAJIMAYA equals LOVE




Uwajimaya is the store my friends and I went to in Portland. Everything in that store is asian, no joke. It's like a Safeway but with asian food.I wish they had a Uwajimaya where I lived, I would go to it everyday just to buy asian sweets. Just like the Poke'mon phrase: I gotta buy em all, Uwajimaya! 

What I got

The long wrapper in the middle is actually a GIANT POCKY.My friend bought a box of giant pocky and gave me one, I was like, "YOSH!" I have to admit they are mighty fun to eat. They are a lot longer and thicker than the original. Which means double the awesomeness. 

Isn't it cute? I think it had containers of Jello in it but I'm not exactly sure if it did or not. 


So much PockyYou can see the big boxes of Pocky on top, they were huge


Don't you just love Hello Kitty!I thought this was the cutest thing, I didn't buy any though since they looked similar to the candy called Strawberry Puffs


I had no idea what this was but the packaging made it look tempting

My Mini Haul



The other day I went to the Portland Mall and picked up some cute items: blush, Hello Kitty candy, and a ring. Two of the items I snagged were from Forever 21 and the other from Sanrio. 



In Forever 21 I bought this adorable floral ring, it was $2.80 with no tax!
I had to snatch this ring since it was so adorable, I love the pink color as well as the design. I have been buying a lot of things with flowers lately so when I seen this I couldn't resist not to say no. 

 The bronzer  had small sparkles in it and looked abosolutely adorable but when I put it on, to my dismay, looked similar to a bronzer I previously owned. How sad, huh?Oh well, at least the price was reasonable, right?

 In Sanrio they have just about anything thats Hello Kitty. Unfortunately the store was small. I wasn't too bummed considering the fact that the prices, as usual, were over priced.A tiny plush key chain there is around seven dollars! But I couldn't live without buying anything from there so I decided to get this cute looking lollipop. I hope it tastes as good as it looks, I still haven't opened it yet but until then I'm savoring it!But besides that, that is my mini Haul. ~
