Hello everyone! Today I'm going to review this classic makeup staple from our favourite Korean makeup brand, Etude House. It is the Etude House's Drawing Eyebrow in #02 Grey Brown! I got it in my previous Japan trip for 310 Yen, which roughly equivalent to Rp. 50,000,- or $5.

On one side, it has a sleek angular tip, which enables soft and precise strokes and spooly to blend out hard edges/strokes. For me, the color is quite good and suits my hair color. Since the intensity of the color can be built up, I can opt out for a soft or bold look in matter of strokes.

The result is comparable to Maybelline's Fashion Brow, but only less creamy but more precise. This product can last up to 1-2 months of usage. Everything have its pros and cons. :) Anyways, that's it for now and I hope to see you in my next post, aye?

Hey guys! So recently, another pair of lenses I ordered arrived and I have to say that it is absolutely stunning! It is the Dollyeye's Starry Eye Series in Violet, that I will be using for my Hanayo and secret cosplay! :p I got these from LensVillage.com and it came pretty quick, about 3 weeks shipping international?

As always, the lenses always come with a free lens case (which happens to be this adorable lavender elephant one) and wrapped with sponge layering. The color was definitely subtle under normal room lightning. But under studio or extreme lightning source, the color pops out and almost ethereal-looking.

My eyes definitely looks enlarged and brighter. Because of the absence of the outer dark dim that usually many circle lenses have, it made the eyes appear brighter and 'naturally' purple. (If that sentence make any sense, anyways. :"D)

-- Details --

Diameter: 14.8mm

Water Content: 38%

Base Curve: 8.6mm

Lifespan: 3 months

 Normal room lightning

Under studio lightning / extreme light source

I used it the other day for about 4-5 hours and it remained comfortable throughout that period of time without me having to use teardrops every now and then. That makes everything more convinient for someone like me who tends to forget or even, lose teardrops all the time. Anyways, that's it for this Starry Eye Violet lens review and I hope to talk to you guys soon! Bye!

Hello! Today I'm going to review some of the stuffs I got from my Japan trip. I absolutely burnt down my wallet because of all of these crazy-cool beauty products! Canmake is what I eyed on since you can only purchase these directly in Japan. I got myself Canmake's Cream Cheek in CL05.

The stuff definitely lives up to its name. It is extremely creamy, making it easy-peasy to blend. You can build up the intensity for that harajuku rosy look. There are also hints of glitter to add definition to the face. I got it for 580 yen and you can easily purchase them in any kind of drug-store (e.g. Tomod's, Don Quixote, Matsumoto Kiyoshi, etc.)

Since layering is made easy with this product, I can use it for my daily makeup without making it too vibrant or eye-catching. Just enough to have a healthy flush.

That's it, folks! I'll review more stuff very soon! See yaaaah <3

Hey guys! I'm sorry that I've been M.I.A. for most of the time. College and other business kept me crazy busy :"( But hey, I just got back from my Japan trip and I have looooots of Japanese makeup brands to review, so worry not! Anyways, moving on~ let's start on this new pair of lens that I got from LensVillage.

It is the Furfur Pearl Prime Green lens with -5.00 prescription on it~ (though I should get one with higher power since I think my eyesight have gotten worse and worse now.) The color was more of a deep emerald. There are hints of glittery sparkles on it, which is quite amusing as I've never seen such feature on any kind of lens before. I used it as a daily eyewear now and it remains comfortable during the day! (And yes, it makes my eyes super sparkly and big *_*)

-- DESCRIPTION --

Life Span : 1 Year

So what do you think? So far, I'm loving this pair and it has caused me no problem from Day 1 <3 I'm planning to get another pair, but with a different color for my future cosplay plan. Let me know on what you guys think whether a gold or a violet pair would be a sicker color to wear! I'll see you in my next post, and it's going to be on Japanese beauty products! Promiseee~

Hey guys! Today I'm going to review on Maybelline's new ClearSmooth All In One Shine Free Cake Powder! As you all know, Maybelline is probably an already familiar drugstore makeup brand. Not long ago, they released their new improved formula for the cake powder, and I'm here to review this for you guys!

What I have is the cake powder compact and the refill. For the compact, it's equipped with built-in mirror that is very convinient for someone who travels a lot like I do. Refilling the compact is extremely easy too. You can just pop them using a sharp object, like perhaps, pens or pencil's end, to get them out. Easy as 1, 2, 3. :p The design is also very minimalistic. It's a pastel lavender color with translucent pink at the bottom.

I got mine in 05 Sand Beige for the refill and 03 Natural as for the actual compact. Reason why I get 2 different shades is because I was looking for a more tan complexion since I'm a pretty pale kid. You know, trying to change my makeup routine and all.

Tested it out on my hands. As you can see, I drew 2 crosses on my left hand. The left side is one that is not using ClearSmooth, while the right one is using it. The cross on the right side is definitely fader than the one on the left side. It also makes my hands lighter in complexion and smoothes it out.

Overall, I'm been using it for 1 and a half week by now, and I got no complaint. I'd say this Maybelline compact does its job for a drugstore price. Because as a business majored student, you want to see your hard-earned kachings on things that'll do you good for a long period of time. That's all, peeps! I'll see you in my next review, okaaaay~? :p

#MyMNYMoment

Hey guys! It's been quiteeee a long time since I updated my blog. Apologies! I was busy with upcoming projects I'm into and university stuff got in the way as well, so pretty hectic, I'd say. :"D Anyways, I bought this new product that I'm madly in love with, because it is so convinient and awesome! Without further ado, let's get started.

This Melon Daiquiri is a 3-in-1 solution to my bath essentials. It can be used as shampoo, shower gel or even bubble bath gel! Very convinient, no? Other than that it smells absolutely heavenly. Just what you imagine what a melon smells like, but on your body. :D

I got it for around $18, which is a good deal for an 600ml worth of all-purpose bath essentials. Other than its heavenly fragrance, it also mosturizes the skin and makes my skin supple. Making bubbles out of this Melon Daiquiri is definitely a piece of cake. Only a few drops of water can quadruple the amount of bubbles this badassery can create! Not only that, it can be easily rinse off, meaning it won't leave any soapy sticky feeling we all hate x.x

By the time I ran out of this, I would buy this again and in bulk quantity! Talking about like dozen of 'em! You guys should definitely try this out, especially for those of you who love dem melons! (No pun intended) All jokes aside, you should! I hope this post helps out you, in case you're wondering what to get from Philosophy website or even an alternative to your old, boring soap. I'll see you guys in a bit!

Hey guys! A few days back, I got this pretty package with a mysterious mascara in it and I'm going to review it now! Why mysterious? Because I, swear to God, don't even know the brand of this mascara I'm about to review~ Alas, I'm going to be super objective and not a speck of "brand-bias" will ever be involved in this :p Let's start, shall we?

The mysterious mascara is about 10 cm tall and has a metallic top, while the bottom is glossy black. The wand is slightly curved, making it easy to reach those blindspots where it gets tricky to apply coats of mascara! No clumps are to be found on the wand, and the mascara doesn't oozes any funky smell too.

I tested the mascara myself, and I must say it does its job beautifully! My lashes look prominently thicker and longer than before. The wand helps seperate individual lashes and prevents it from clumping together, which is what you want to not get "spider-legs" lashes.

Before // After

Before // After

Even my friend couldn't resist trying this mascara! (while she's helping me taking all these beautiful pictures <3) And so I applied her generous coats and boy, look at that difference!

Other than testing it on our own lashes, of course waterproof and smudgeproof test are a must, amiright?! XD From what we experimented, the mascara stayed under running tap water. When you dried it off with a napkin, the mascara tends to transfer itself to the napkin. So that might be an issue for you, tissue-users :( And for smudging problem, the mascara do not smudge at all. It might came off under strong pressure, but not smudge. :)

I'm extremely kepo (curious) about this mascara's real brand, almost dying to want to know! I would definitely buy this again if it finally hits the shelf! That's it for the Mysterious Mascara review and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do~ See you on my next review <3 #rollwithindo :p

Thank you for reading! xx

Hello! Finally I got myself some new pair of red lenses! I've been dyiiiiiing to get one since my last pair decided to rip into 2 :"( Anyways, I got this pair of ICK Garnet Red Lens from LensVillage not long ago :o I think it was about $8 with shipping all the way from Malaysia (?) Pretty cheap for something that you could use for a long time! (Counts it as cosplay investment, yeah? :9)

As per usual, I'm as blind as a bat. This pair has -5.00 prescription in it, which is great for me (and my vision, anyways). The colour is quite vibrant, but not exaggeratingly bright. It is eye-catching, but not to the point that it looks extemely fake. In fact, it looked quite natural on the eyes! The lenses has dark outer ring that helps enlarge the eyes, making it doe-like. :p

~ DETAILS ~

Name: ICK Garnet Red Lens [link]

Diameter: 15mm

Base Curve: 8.6mm

Water Content: 42%

Replacement Period: 12 months (1 year)

Below, I included some closeup shots of the lenses. I find these lenses are extremely good for suave-looking men cosplays or cutesy characters, even. Though for this particular shoot, I just put on some long garnet wig, which is actually for Free's Gou wig, and used heavy male makeup. What do you think? :P

With extreme light source

Trying to look suave, but horribly failed :"D

Thanks to these stickers to enhance my manliness!

Final verdict? I would get these lens again if it expires or so! It was comfortable to wear and bright too. Not only that, it makes my eyes bigger :p And who don't love red eyes, c'mon now. Anyways, that's it for this review and more lenses to be reviewed soon! Ciao~
