One month to get my life in order!

This post is definitely more for me! Its a little less than a month until I turn 22 and I want to get my life in order so when my birthday rolls around I can start fresh!

I have a series of to do lists, want to do lists, and work out list. I recently gained some weight and have been falling behind on my day to day things. I will be uploading my logs of how I did at the end of every week so you can keep track with me! 

I think it's important to re-evaluate life and what you want to do, and how to go about doing it. As of right now I think I need structure to continue moving forward SO I hope you will enjoy watching my progress over the next month <3

Also I have 2 circle lens I recently received from KLensPop, and I will be posting my morning skincare routine as well (all on the "to-do" lists hehe)

The comic is just how I feel about becoming an adult and responsible

These Lens were generously sponsored by KlensPop!

Bunny Colour Grey

Specifications

Brand: LensPOP

Diameter: 14.5 mm

Water Content: 38%

Base Curve: 8.6 mm

Price: 15$ USD

Life:6 months 

KlensPop has some of the best prices on the circle lens as well as a HUGE selection of circle lens!

When I returned from Norway a month ago, KlensPop and sent me another pair of lens for review. The lens arrived SUPER quickly again, it was remarkable! I really can say their communication is great and they have QUICK delivery. 

About my absence, while I was in Norway I only had Wi-Fi for about an hour a day because where I was staying didn't have wi-fi and only had it when I went to school... SORRY

Design:I REALLY like this design! It reminds me of a better version of the Dueba Gossip Grey that I wanted so desperately to love. It was also very similar to the Puffy 3 Tone lens. Normally I am not CRAZY about this style as I prefer a bit more of a dolly look but I think these are very flattering and a little bit more mature.

Comfort: Mild discomfort. I go back and forth on keeping comfort in my review area because My eyes have a slight astigmatism and a little dry. This is why lens don't feel great. I wear these for fun not everyday and that is something to take into consideration. 

Enlargement: As mentioned above: SUPER SUPER natural! It will enhance your eyes but if you want something that's old school gyaru, these wont be the ones for you. If you want to make your eyes stand out a little bit and bring a nice shine, these will be perfect

Overall: If you want just a nice pair of circle lens that will accent your eyes in a natural way I would recommend these. Even though they were a little bit drying for me I REALLY liked these lens. I thought they were very complimentary and cute. I  really appreciate KlensPop sending me such cute lens :)

I recently got some studio lighting so I was doing some practice with it in the following photos

Bunny Colour Brown

Specifications

Brand: LensPOP

Diameter: 14mm

KlensPop has some of the best prices on the circle lens as well as a HUGE selection of circle lens! 

So a little bit about my experience with KlensPop before I get started in my review of the

Bunny Colour Brown lens!

  
KlensPop contacted me back in early April to sponsor me a pair of lens for reviewing purposes! I had a few questions before agreeing for them and they were very helpful and prompt in replying. If I emailed them in the evening I got a reply in the morning, and if I emailed them in the morning I got a reply in the evening. Very professional! 

Mid/late April we came to an agreement and I received my lens at the beginning of May. The delivery time for the lens was SO short! The longest its taken for me to receive lens is probably a month and this was a very pleasant surprise!

Unfortunately when i received them my family was going through a rough time and I was very busy with school and I had a hard time writing this review. They were very understanding even though I was not being very professional. 

In terms of customer service alone I HIGHLY recommend KlensPop! They are a great online company! With that: On to the review!

Design: This is very interesting colour, but a very simple design. Kind of similar to Geo Grang Grang but in a smaller diameter. It's very natural so if you're going for super dolly anime character this isn't for you. However I think the design is very flattering to the eye and gives a hint of colour

Comfort: When I first put these in they felt a little bit weird, but then they settled just fine. My eyes are very sensitive to lens unfortunately. I could wear them for a few hours but not as long as other lens. eye drops helped immensely!! 

Enlargement: As mentioned above: SUPER SUPER natural! It adds a nice pop to your eyes but its not dramatic at all.

Overall: If you want just a nice pair of circle lens that will accent your eyes in a natural way I would recommend these. They weren't AMAZING but they weren't awful. A little above average. However even though these weren't my favorite, i'd honestly highly suggest using KlensPop simply because of their amazing customer service alone.

On to photos of me wearing the lens all in outdoor lighting

 

 

Like I've mentioned throughout this review, even if these aren't the lens for you KlensPop was a super nice company to work with, and their customer service was amazing.

Life Updates - Stress and Sadness

I know I promised to post every other week and I've been falling behind. With good reason - I've had exams because it's finals week at school. Also, on a more personal level I had to say my last goodbye to my grandfather this week. His health hasn't been great and last night it took a turn for the worst. I know right now I don't have a huge following but I wanted to share. 

I use my blog for a variety of things, and a diary is one of those things. as this is a big thing happening in my life I wanted something to document this

My Morning Skincare Routine

Hi guys! Sorry for the delay in posts - I just got back from spring break! I met a beautiful German man while I was over there that made my heart go DOKI DOKI. We were both too shy though so nothing happened.. I really neglected my skincare while I was on break. Since I returned my skin has been super dry. BUT since I've gotten back I've been back on track with my skincare and been using all my best products to repair my skin. 

1. I start with my Shiseido Pureness Balancing Softener - I cannot use toner or softener with alcohol it drys out my skin and makes me break out more

2. I use a serum. These are my current favorite 3 serums. I really like the Kose Hyalocharge - it really locks in the moisture!

 left to right:

 Kose White Serum, Laneige Water Bank Serum, and then Kose Hyalocharge

3. Then I use the Kiehl's Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate. I don't use this one regularly because it's expensive. It really smooths out my skin so I like to use it for special occasion. 

4. I then use a moisturizer, or a few hehehe

 right to left:

1) ? 2) Laneige Water bank moisturizer 3) Embryolisse concentrated Lait Cream 4) Vichy Liftactiv Supreme 5) Lierac Microlift  

5. I recently discovered beauty oils. I use them both in the morning and night because my skin is so dry... They've helped significantly.

  right to left:

 Josie Maran Argan Oil and Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate

6. Lastly in the morning I finish off with a good sunscreen! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOUTHFUL SKIN!

right to left:

Vichy Liftactive, Anessa Shiseido, La Roche Posay Pigmentclar, and Biore UV Aqua Rich

These are my favorite skincare products for the morning. My next post will be about my night skincare routine! I hope this helps anyone who is confused or wants to up their skincare routine :)

If you have any questions please ask!

Soft Eyes - Geo Eyevelyn Brown Review

Specifications

Brand: Geo

Power Range: 0.00~ -7.50

Diameter: 14.2mm

Water Content: 40%

Base Curve: 8.6 mm

Life: Monthly

I bought these circle lens form GeoColouredLens! I bought them with my own money:)

Like with all contacts you have to be very careful! MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR LENS PROPERLY FIT WITH YOUR OPTICIAN Your eyes are sensitive and with circle lens, because they cover a bigger surface on your eye, you have a higher chance of getting an infection and/or temporary to permanent eye damage if you don't take care of your lens or don't have a quality brand. You have to use a a reliable lens online store,  because there are so many knock-offs that can damage your eyes. 

 

Design: This is VERY natural! I like the natural design and how easily it blends into my eyes. I've drifted away from the less natural design and LOVE the seamless look! It makes my eyes pop without someone staring at my eyes trying to figure out what was going on hahaha. 

4/5

Comfort: SOOOOOO COMFORTABLE! With the higher water content they breathe so nicely as contact lens! They are quite soft as well. In fact they are so soft that sometimes they fold over and can be a little bit difficult to take out actually. 

 5/5

Enlargement: They are very natural sized! At 14.2 they aren't crazy big, more like a very nice accent. Its eye catching but in a natural way.

3/5 

Overall: I love these lens they are very soft and natural. Even with dry eyes I don't have very much of a problem. With the soft gradient on the lens as well it doesn't give too much of a halo effect or bother my vision. They are very nice lens I am a little bit disappointed that they are so expensive for monthly lens only. If you need prescription lens and want comfortable circle lens I'd suggest these.

4/5 

 

And then one from a far away view:

This was kind of fun to do! I haven't done gyaru makeup in a while and it was nice returning to my roots. I'm a little bit sad to see the change in the style and how the trends are more natural now. I love/miss dolly gyaru! 

I also recently got a ring light and trying to figure out how to really utilize it so I apologize about the brightness inconsistencies. Also this post is a little bit late from last week I'M SO SORRY! IVE BEEN BUSY WITH MIDTERMS

What do you think about these lens and/or change in gyaru makeup trends?

KlioTea

Currently in school I'm taking a business class. One of my teachers clients is KlioTea. Kliotea is a Greek Mountain Tea and for those of you who don't know Greek Mountain Tea has some AMAZING health benefits with high levels of antioxidants and photo-neutrients.  You can order KlioTea online and it ships within 2-4 days with FREE SHIPPING

 

Check out KlioTea it's really good and I enjoy it! It is a very light tea  

This week I will be posting twice. This post was actually a class assignment so in a few days I will be posting a new circle lens review!

I will be reviewing the Geo Eyevelyn lens! I know I've been posting a lot of reviews and I do want to make more diverse posts. I just realized that the lens have a 30 day expiration date so I wanted to make sure I reviewed them in time!

I promise I will start posting content as well!

YouTube - Masturbating

I frequently mention my YouTube channel, and how the content on that platform is different than my blogger. I talk more about social issues and what's on my mind - significantly less cute. I think this video is a pretty good idea of how it is different.

I know that I get a variety of different countries on my blogger and so I'm really curious to see what you guys have to say on the topic, though I know this might be a bit too direct for some of you. If you want to check out something more tame, look at my post on blogger last week reviewing the new Maybelline Poreless + Matte Fit Me foundation.

I hope you enjoy! Please watch it, like it and subscribe to support me, I'd really appreciate it!

Maybelline Poreless + Matte Fit Me Foundation Review

If you've read any of my makeup posts on my blog you'd get that I am a bit of a makeup snob. I love high end makeup and to be honest, don't really trust a lot of drugstore makeup other than mascara. I fear that, especially foundations are going to make me break out and turn me orange.

That being said I've had my eye on the Maybelline Fit Me foundation for a very long time. So, when my local drugstore was having a sale on the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation I gave in and bought it.

Let me just say I was pleasantly surprised!  It wasn't the best foundation in the world but it was one of the better ones I've tried

Packaging

 

Product Info

Brand: Maybelline

Name: Fit Me! Matte + Poreless

SPF: --

Amount: 30mL/1 oz

Price: $6 USD

Colour

I used colour 125 Nude Beige which to be honest was a little bit dark for me. I LOVE HOW YELLOW TONED IT IS! It's really rare to find a drugstore foundation that isn't super pink! 

The shades I normally wear:
MAC NC 120
Buxom Weightless - Dim The Light
Stila Light 
Dior 20
Chanel 30

 

as you can see blended out its a little bit dark for me. I apologize about the line on my wrist! I was wearing a hair tie on my wrist earlier! 

Coverage

 With no foundation, I am breaking out really badly right now because of stress ): I took these photos in natural light so I had to darken this photo just a little bit

 

 

With proper lighting and foundation! This photo is with only the foundation on

 

As you can see there is almost complete coverage. This comparison is with only one coat of foundation applied with the Sigma Flat Top brush. All of my discolouration and pimples are completely covered and my pores are almost invisible. 

Overall

On the skin it feels quite light even though the coverage is heavy. I don't recommend this for anyone with dry skin! I have normal to dry skin and can only use this foundation with a beauty oil applied first. If you have normal to oily skin this will probably be a dreamy foundation for you! If you're very oily you might want to pass on this as well.

Considering how cheap it was I really suggest this for anyone who has a normalish skin and looking for a nice foundation with a cheap price tag.

I am grateful that there are cheaper foundations suited for yellow toned people.

Rank 7/10

Makeup

I know its been a while since I posted any makeup shots so I also took some pictures of my makeup today.

I hope you like my look and review! If you have anything you want me to check out comment below! If you've tried this foundation and liked it or hated it let me know that as well 

If you don't want to wait another week for an update on my life check out my YouTube Channel ill be posting on there next week!

UPDATE: I TRIED 120 AND IT WAS MY PERFECT SHADE!
