Paul & Joe haul & review

hello~

Feels like I haven't made a post in a while XP
had busy busy week so took some time off from everything this weekend so I guess that really helped me to relax :)

I feel like I have LOTS to post about so hopefully I can make a post everyday! well at least I will try to LOL well here my Paul & Joe haul I got from softsurroundings.com were they had everything from P&J stuff on sale~ they still have few items left so if you like to check it out click here :)

Paul & Joe beaute lines are made in Japan so its hard to find them being sold in Us only in selective stores, you can check out their official site here

I Love their packaging and the style of their products they are very elegant and princessy, all of their products have really nice fragrant also reminds me of elegant and princess like and they are very nice quality products! :D

I was hesitant to purchase this items since I am saving up to go to Japan this year but it was such a great price and deal that I ended up making a buy.. but by the time I decided to make a purchase most of the items that I wanted was sold out so I kicked myself for not making the purchase in the first place LOL but in return the store was kind enough to give me $10 off coupon on this products that I have got! so it was even sweeter deal, but I was missing one of the lip gloss that I wanted so that was a little set back in purchasing from this store again.

first I got Paul & Joe eyeshadow in earth and daisy
This eye shadows are very smooth in texture and very pigmented but soft at the same time since they contain lots shimmer, the earth which is the darker shade one is gold undertone brown with hint of olive so it goes on the skin very neutral almost looks like grayish shade once applied I like it~ and the daisy is pale gold with creamy yellow tint perfect for highlighter shade!

The compact comes with mirror so its very useful if you are on the go :3









Mascara duo primer and eyeshadow primer







The eyeshadow primer come in 3 shade for different skin tones,
I got the eyeshadow primer in 02 Chai - A sand beige for medium skin tones.
Primers will make your eyeshadow more vibrant and makes your shadow last longer :)







The mascara duo primer is in clear color goes on under your mascara for longer and more defined lashes, this have 2 type for either volume or for curl.

You can see the fibers in the Volume side of the primer this will make your lashes longer and fuller.









Paul & Joe lipstick N in Ballet shoe and Candied Rose

Their lipstick are very sheer and shimmery but looks very pretty, not too overpowering shimmer either. The fine shimmer actually makes your lips look more plumped and the hint of color makes your lips looks very cute :3 But since they are sheer I had to go over couple time for the color to show up.
they are also pretty moisturizing, I almost feel like they have like lip balm consistency and also smells very pretty♥

Barbie King Grey and EOS Adult Grey Lens review

Hello♥

Here is the belated looks of the lenses that was sponsored by Pinkyparadise.com

I wanted to wear them for sometime to form an opinion about the lenses :)

First one is Barbie King in Grey,

this lens is 14.5 diameter so it is slightly larger than average circle lenses same size as the Barbie Big lenses, this lenses look really similar to Geo's Angel series but its more opaque in color so you can see the pigment of the lens really well.

On comfort,

its really comfortable compared to barbie big lenses! I was really surprised how this lens didnt bother me at all :3 Like the Barbie big lens it will give you DOLLY eyes but to me this series looks more natural I really like it!♥

I feel like I can wear this lens on normal level, wore this lens for 6+ hours without any discomfort~

you can see that this lens looks like the Geo angel's but the rim of the lens are thicker to give more larger dolly eyes.

one without and one with big difference X3

also on my lips, I am wearing on lips is YSL Rouge volupte in #1 nude beige I LOVE how this color looks!! Perfect nudy pink shade♥

with flash and indoor light

you can see that its very visible even without the flash :)

Im also wearing beautiful earring by Moto jewelry handmade by Izumi :D

*sorry Izu-chan Im not good at modeling earrings... always cant see the earrings well =_=;;

EOS adult grey

14.0 in diameter

This lens is really pretty in photos but I think not in person LOL X3

Due the the patterns of the lens makes my eyes look weird..

they are pretty opaque in the pigment of the lens, not much of a circle lens effect so I would say it will enlarge your eye just slightly, also this color can look like baby blueish/purple shade if you like the Geo Nudy series I think you will like this lens.

On comfort,

I think they are pretty comfortable, my eyes did not get irritated while wearing this lens for more than 6+ hours so that a good thing about this lens :)

with flash and without

they are pretty noticeable in person definitely will make dark colored eyes lighter, give you the seductive eyes :3

oh and here is me with my Nerdy glasses LOL X3

I was asked, if I wear my circle lens all the time? yes I do, its because I have prescription lenses I have really bad vision since 13 years old, so I am now -5.50 I can only see clearly within few feet from me now,,, -__-;;

so I end up having so many regular lenses and circle lenses, now I just end up just wearing them on normal basis but only when Im outdoors, when Im home I turn into super Nerd eki~ I give my eyes a break from lenses as much as I can since your eyes need oxygen as well :)

dont laugh at me,, I know my glasses makes me looks nerdier....LOL :/

I need new frames!! thats next thing on my lists of buy :3

I just got 3 more lenses from Pinkyparadise

so I will make a post about those lenses I got next time~ more lens reviews to come!

also

*if you are contact wearer I do highly recommend to apply eye drop now and then to lubricate your the eyes, I recommend Rohto eye drops! you can get imported from Japan Rohto or you can get Rohto brand that is rebranded for US at most major retailers.

*this is from my past post*

Here is must have for people that wears contacts. Another awesome item from Japan! :P Well this eye drops are made by Rohto, they have started to import their items in US but they only have the boring and not that great ones. They make all kinds of different eye drops but they only sell em in Japan,, :(

This two is my favs~ pink one is *Lycee* contains B12 and rose extract and have mild cooling effect. Rohto make cooling level of 1-7 and this one is 3, they make one for contacts and another one for non contacts. Relieves the red eye and moisturizes for hours! Loves it ;3

Blue one is* Zi 0* This one is for the hard core people that want to feel like you have ice cubes in yo eye! Its level 6 and Im telling you its intense~ but I love it!! I make all my friends try this one. Their first reaction is "oh my gosh!! I have paint thinner in my eyes!!" *trust me it dont burn, its intense icy feeling* but after few minutes they are like "most intense and amazing feeling my eyes ever felt" you gotta try this one it will relieve your red eye and dryness instantly~you will be addicted :D
