Canmake colorful nail polish

Hi Hi~ ^__^

Just a little Canmake colorful nail swatches since I had time to actually do my nails~ :D I am loving this polishes so far!  There are 41 shade in total from this Colorful nails line and they also have glitter liner and regular nail polish line as well~♥ As you saw in my last post I got this from apopofkawaii.com for $6 :) The color looks very vibrant with 2 coats and dries pretty quickly just had it on since yesterday so not sure how they are in the long run yet though :P

Canmake Colorful nails #10

[10] Lavender Milk

A gentle, sweet lavender like the Little Mermaid.

Canmake colorful nail in #17

[17] Frosty Silver☆

A clear nail polish with large light-polarizing lame particles. Also handy for glitter French manicures.

I love me some glitter polishes lol but I think this one is very similar to cover girls boundless color in 405 they could be dupes for each other :P but this canmake one contains more luminescent tiny shimmers instead so it gives off more colorful shine!

I finally colored my hair tonight! and I did tape my before vid so I will try to take after vid tomorrow or something so I should get the video review up by this weekend hopefully~ :D

well take care loves~♥

XOXO

Haul from apopofkawaii & handmade love♥

Hello :D

Its been a while since I actually blogged it feels like :P well I was really excited when I saw that Nic Nic opened a store called apopofkawaii.com and carried melliesh a cosmetic brand produced by Yui Kanno she is one of gyaru model who is featured in popteen alot :) Been looking for a place that sold her brand for decent price since all of other places seemed to charge so much more plus high shipping prices so was super excited and happy to see them in apopofkawaii♥

Shipping price are the best part of their service!

They did NOT over charge its the actual shipping price that you are paying for, so my shipping total was about $5 for all of this items from Japan to US but she was kind to upgrade my shipping from SAL to Airmail so that is why it was cheap & fast~ :D

Communication and the service with Nic Nic was great!

My order was shipped out within 4 days of order and the actual shipping time was about 5 days so that is really fast considering it was shipped from Japan ^__^

 Nic Nic have kindly offered same shipping upgrade offer to my readers:
 a free shipping upgrade code EKISHIPPING purchase from SAL shipping to Airmail! Please email them with the code after you have made a purchase :D

so here is what I bought!

so here is Melliesh items I been wanting to try out~ :D

Melliesh Cheek Color in 05 Kogao Brown: "Contouring dark brown shade" 

been looking for nice contouring powder so I hope this is product will give me the finish I have been looking for! 

 

 

Melliesh Lipgloss 05 Honey Apricot

wanted more subtle pinky lip gloss so I hope this is what I been expecting to be they claim this lip gloss is 2 in 1 with lip concealer already in with the gloss so its supposed to be really opaque :)

Ok there are 2 of each glosses because one of each are going to be given away! Nic Nic was generous to add additional lip glosses that I bought to give to my readers♥ Thank you Hun! will have the giveaway for each glosses on my review post for this glosses so please stay tuned! ^0^

 

  

Candy Doll Lip Gloss Pink Macaroon

one of new lip glosses from Candy Doll~ the gloss it self is about double the size of the original candy doll lip gloss so it is a better buy for sure♥ 

 

Also just a peek at some of the item I have been working on♥

Vintage floral pouch with vintage lace and still working on kawaii charm to go with it :)

 

Kawaii stars earring and necklace that is a match to the bracelet~ swarovski wire wrapped with all made with 925 ^__^ will take better photos once Im done making them all cant really tell in this photos the colors are washed out lol I will be restocking the Kawaii star bracelet again so if you've missed it dont worry I will be updating the store as soon as I get all of my supplies in!

 Also Happy news!

Me and Zach found perfect place to move into!! been stressed about moving since couldnt find the place that we both were happy with so been looking for a prefect place for months so finally one of the thing thats been stressing me have lifted off my shoulder so I feel so much happier at the moment but still have so many big decisions I have to make for the future so still feels like Im in limbo =__=;;

another good news with this news is that our new place are pets friendly!! so Ninja will stay with us and I will still be his mommy :3 but still teaching him to be nicer to us since he still acts like stray kitty and are scared of everything.. I think his ears are abnormally larger than most kittens so his hearing is amazing and that makes him so much more jumpier to every single noses though :sigh: still super hyper, bites and scratches for real but when he is calm and comfortable he cuddles up to me and licks my hands and tried to lick my face so kawaii~ X3

Only had him for about 2 weeks now but I think he grew so much! I also think he looks like a bob cat with his big ears lol Still very much scared of being taken photos of so not many good photos of him yet

here he wanted to play around with my hands while I was filling out the leasing paper lol X3

 I thought how be poops look super hilarious so took a photos of him pooping~ XD He puts all his concentration on pooping as you can see he is trying hard to poop lol

well that is it for now,, Just been too busy to actually take time to blog so Im sorry about that :( Will get all of reviews out and to make things easier I have been trying to tape myself actually talking about the products that I am reviewing so you dont have to read through my blog reviews!! So hope that will turn out ok and not so many umm... umms... in between the talk lol  XP

well hope you are all doing well and staying happy!

Thanks for stopping by♥

XOXO

Barbie King circle lens in Pink review + video

Barbie King Size in Pink

Diameter : 14.5mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Life Span : 1 year disposal

Hello another pink circle lens review♥

As you might know I always try to test out a product for good few weeks to base an opinion so that they are more better quality review :) I have been wearing this lens for past 3 weeks of on and off with other lenses and I really adore them! I have reviewed this series of lens before in gray .

my take:

First ever time I put this lens in I was really shocked at how opaque and vibrant the color was so I took a double take like "wow" it was a good surprise for me but it can be alittle over powering for some that want more natural looking lens since this one really POPS in your eyes and really huge looking in the eyes just like all the Barbie series it might take a while to get used to looking at yourself due to it being so BIG in your eyes but to me this pink one seems more easy on the eyes than the grey for some reason, I feel like they dont look as alienish like the barbie gray ones maybe because I really adore pink colored lenses so Im being bias? :P This pink lens are more intense pinkish purple shade than the other pink lenses I have reviewed in the past so if you wanted really vibrant pink lens you might like this one the best :)

Overall:

surprisingly very comfortable I almost forgot I had them in lol no weird blurry-ness sometimes I experience from 14.5mm lens so that is a plus~ if you are looking for natural lens this is NOT for you cause its really pronounced and the color are truly vibrant but if you are like me and likes dolly and ok with looking sorta fake/cosplay-ish look then this is for you! ♥

The color PINK is really unique and beautiful shade depending on the light source it can look anywhere from light brown-ish pink to purple-ish pink :D 

Rating:

10/10

I love it! I always say this but great for cosplay lol and anyone that is gyaru or into gyaru style you should own one of this lens you will love them<3 :D

Ninja kitty! and randomness~

Hello!

wanted to introduce you to Ninja! :D alittle stray baby kitty that me and zach rescued since it was all on its own and was meowing for nonstop for 4 days straight outside of our house looking for its mommy but she never came so he was starving and all along scared! T__T

so we had to rescue him since it gonna be winter here soon and couldnt let this little guy be out like that so I we sat out every night trying to earn its trust and have him get near us alittle by alittle and i was like meowing like crazy trying to get this guy to come to us and it worked because it would meow back and get closer and closer to me lol but with persistence and after total of 53 mosquito bites we finally got him and Zach named him Ninja samurai lol X3

I said why that name and he said ninja cause he is super fast like a ninja and samurai cause he was out there all alone in the woods surviving on its own with warrior spirit and he is fierce! I thought it was cute since I'm so bad at coming up with names so haha :P

well his first ever vet appointment was today! Found out he is about 7-8 week old~ he is all healthy and have no fleas or mites :D

But after his shots he has been sleeping like this so I hope he is ok :(  Isnt he adorable?? I love his pot belly!! but he is really boney so we are trying to fatten him up and hes been eating like a champ!

Ninja is being mischievous here and tore up our laundry basket lol =__=;;

but so cute you cant get made at him~<3

 

 some random shot from the weekend :D

here is of downtown Minneapolis

was making fun of Zach's hair I called it Justin Bieber hair lol I told him "arent you alittle too old for that hair do??" he said he didnt style it, it just happened.... XP

 so he put on his hat instead cause he didnt want people to think he was sporting Bieber's hair do lol

 car shot cause I forget to take photos at other places =__=;; really loving Oriental bb cream and candy doll face powder over it! Nice flawless matte finish~♥ also really digging candy doll lip concealer with takako lip gloss over it :D

well that is it for now hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful weekend :) will have reviews coming!
