I.myss Cell. 5 and Flower's Liquid Eyeliner

Hello all~ 

Today I will be doing a little review on two products! One is I.myss's Cell. 5 Multi Cleansing Foam and the other is Flower's On Your Mark Eyeliner!

First up for review, I.myss's Cell. 5 Multi Cleansing Foam

I received two free sample packets of Korean brand I.myss's Cell 5. Multi Cleansing Foam some time ago when I bought a cosmetic online I think. It was only recently that I decided to try it though. 

The sample packet apparently it features K-pop group 2AM on it.
"A new concept skincare line which the naturally fermented cellulose forms moisturized screen to make the skin moist."

The back of the packet~

Product placed directly on my skin

Product smoothed onto my skin

When I opened the packet and put the product onto my skin, it was kinda chunky. Smoothing it over my skin didn't quite get rid of the lumps of product. I don't know if the bottled product has this lumpy consistency or if it is just the sample packets I got. I couldn't quite place my finger on the smell of the product... my boyfriend smelled it and told me it smells a lot like watermelon! I kind of agree, though it smells like a slightly off watermelon, haha 

After massaging it into my face, my skin instantly felt softer, and when I rinsed it off, my face felt totally squeaky clean! Makeup comes off so easily with this product and it also cuts through oil really well. 

Over all, I wasn't sure about the chunky/lumpy consistency, but I didn't mind it either. The smell was okay- I didn't hate it but I didn't like it either. But the end results of super clean and soft feeling skin is worth it! I'm seriously looking into buying the full product because of how well it works~

The second product up for review is Flower's On Your Mark Liquid Eyeliner. 

The packaging is simple and features a pastel rose~

Flower is a new brand by Drew Barrymore featuring pastels and natural looks. The products are made in the USA and are not tested on animals 

I've been looking for a good felt-tipped eyeliner kind of like Dolly Wink's eyeliner pen when I saw this at Walmart (the only place you can get Flower products, apparently.) It was around $7. 

When I opened it, the tip was white and there was so eyeliner ink/fluid on it. You have to press the tip against your skin or something to get the eyeliner to flow. Took me awhile to figure this out haha

Once it is flowing, this eyeliner pen is perfect! The pen eyeliners I have tried before tend to have stiff/hard felt tips but this one is nice and soft. You can easily vary the line thickness and thinness. I love it! I will definitely repurchase this.

I'll end this post with an Instagram pic that I purikura'd. 

Geo Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown

Hello everyone~! As promised, here is the post for my review on Tsubasa Masuwaka's Princess Mimi lenses in Chocolate Brown. 

I purchased these from Pinky Paradise. Sorry, I don't have a photo of the lenses in their original vial this time. Photos in this review are from summer 2012. So late on this review

The basics:

 Diameter: 15.0mm

Water Content: 38%

Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 year disposal

Photo with one lens in:

Both lenses in:

Indoor lighting:

Outdoor lighting:

Comfort level: Pretty comfortable. They were a little odd feeling at first but then they soon adjusted to my eyes and were fine. Noticed a slight blur of brown color on the edge of of my vision from time to time from the lenses.

 Color: The color is okay, the brown doesn't quite go far enough in to cover my blue eyes so they look kinda... greyish brown? It's kind of a neat effect regardless. Overall I like them and I like how the limbal ring is darker and makes my eyes appear larger.

Overall: These are decent lenses and I like the pattern and color. Fairly comfortable lenses~! 4/5 due to the color/pattern not working with my blue eyes as well as expected, though they still look nice.

Lens Review: Geo Princess Mimi in Apple Green

Hello lovelies~ 
Today I will be reviewing Tsubasa Masuwaka's Geo Princess Mimi lenses in Apple Green!

Pinky Paradise was having a anniversary special a few weeks ago in which all colors of Tsubasa Masuwaka's Geo Princess Mimi lenses were half off! I couldn't resist~ I've always wanted to see what my eyes look like brown, so I ordered them in Chocolate Brown. When they arrived, I got the Apple Green color instead of the Chocolate Brown color. I wrote an e-mail to Pinky Paradise telling them about the issue, and they replied that they would send the Chocolate Brown lenses right away, so I got to keep the Apple Green pair! This turned out pretty interesting as I got to try a color I wouldn't normally buy.

So anyway... on with the review~!

The basics:

Diameter: 15.0mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 year disposal

Photo with one lens in:

Photo with both in:

Comfort level:

These lenses are quite comfortable! I wore them for 7 hours straight and only used eye drops once and they hardly bothered me! I found them even more comfortable than the Geo Nudy lenses, which is odd because these have a larger diameter. 

Color: 

The color is wonderful! My natural blue color was covered by the green, and the lenses blended well even with the small brownish ring near the center of the lenses. 

Enlarging effect:

The limbal ring is large and dark, so it definitely makes my eyes look bigger. The lenses have a diameter of 15.0mm so they're fairly large. 

Overall:

I love these lenses! They're very wearable and definitely have a nice enlarging effect. I never knew green eyes would look so good on me. I rate these lenses a 5/5~!

Here's a full photo of me with them on~

And as a bonus, here's an image of the Popteen April 2012 cover with Tsubasa Masuwaka wearing these lenses in Apple Green!

Geo Nudy Blue Review

Hi everyone~

It's been such a long time since I posted I've been working hard, busy with life, trips, etc.! I still have to post about my big weekend in late April at ACen and in Chicago, but I haven't gotten all the pictures for that post ready yet, so it'll have to wait.

Anyway! About 2 weeks ago I ordered some contacts from Pinky Paradise. I ordered Tsubasa Masuwaka's Geo Princess Mimi lenses in Chocolate Brown as well as Geo Nudy lenses in blue. This post is for a review on the Geo Nudy lenses~

I have blue eyes so I wanted some blue lenses that would enlarge my irises but still look natural and wearable for everyday life, so I chose Geo Nudy in blue. They have a water content of 38%, a diameter of 14.0mm, base curve of 8.6mm, and they are 1 year disposal lenses. I purchased both of my lenses without correction since I don't wear glasses or daily wear lenses for vision purposes.

These are my first contact lenses ever! It took me awhile to get the first lens in, and a little less time for the second lens. I put one in today for a photo with one lens in and none in the other eye, and it still takes me a bit of time to put them in. No issue with the lenses, I'm just a noob at putting them in. Once in they feel a bit odd and maybe even slightly painful, but that quickly disappears and it feels like I don't even have anything in my eye. Occasionally I'll remember it's there and feel it though. I'd say that these are fairly comfortable lenses!

The enlarging effect is noticable but subtle, and the color blends in very nicely with my naturally light blue eyes. The color on the lenses is a translucent blue. Here's a photo with natural lighting with one lens in my eye and the other eye with no lens for comparison:

And the following photo is with fluorescent lighting and both lenses in along with more make up plus lashes,  haha~  

And some cam-whoring lol.

Alpaca! :D

Over all I like these lenses a lot for the natural effect and they match my eyes well.

Birthday dinner, Lacura night cream review

OK, as you guys may well know, I just turned 22 on March 20th. I don't feel much older, haha. I worked on my birthday, so I celebrated on a different day. I celebrated one day with my family, and one with my friends. My friends and I just hung out at ordered pizza, and had cupcakes. We also played Disney Scene-It because we're so cool. I lost

I went out to dinner with my family at this amazing Asian buffet. There were so many different kinds of food Time for food spam, haha~

 

My aunt's plate. 

My plate, they even had all you can eat sushi, so I got some veggie sushi and tofu sushi.

Went again a few days later and got these awesome red bean paste dumplings. I love bean paste~

The interior of the place is really nice~!

After eating out, I went to an Aldi next store. I was just there to pick up some fruit since they were having a sale (got a giant cantelope for 99 cents!! ) . I ran into their brand of skin care products, and they have a line called 'Lacura'. Lacura has a night cream with retinol and Q10 in it, and it was only $3.99 I bought it thinking 'what the heck' but also though it might be no good or filled with cheap ingredients that don't work. I looked online and it has such good reviews! Apparently it beat 2000 products in blind tests, including top brands and expensive products. Just Google "Lacura Night Cream Reviews"!

 

 Another great thing about this cream- I've been using it for probably 5 nights now and my skin hasn't broken out at all. This is very good because I've got super acne prone skin. My skin also feels soooo soft afterwards, and the scent of this cream is very springy. To be honest, the scent reminds me of daffodils, lol. I love this stuff. And at $3.99 a bottle, how can you go wrong? This cream definitely gets my seal of approval.
