What is Fairy Drops Candy Bar BB cream?

This shine-free, oil-free and waterproof product was the perfect solution. The product itself is a lightweight formula allowing you to apply the amount of layer you would like without feeling like your skin is being weighed down. Micro- gold pearl hides scars and freckles.

Please watch this video to get a better view of this bb cream in action :)

Alittle bit more info:

This bb creams comes with its own sponge applicator that is detachable so that you can wash the sponge applicator. I really like this idea since its great for people that are on the go that dont have much time in applying makeup, goes on evenly and efficiently.

What I think?

Well having a weird oily/super sensitive skin that hates most traditional foundation I am always wary of trying out new item for my skin but I was excited to try this bb cream since after dabbing some on my hands this bb cream matched my skin tone well without the grey undertone most bb cream seem to have, its also not overly oily like most bb cream seems to be so it does go on somewhat semi matte! This bb claims to have micro gold pearl in this bb cream formula but they are so fine and micro that you dont even see them~ its not sparkly or anything like that which I appreciate but it does give off healthy flawless natural glow which is another plus in my book :D

Another major plus is that with having an oily skin, at the end of the day I seems to look like an oily shiny mess with most bb creams but this bb cream seems to control my oils better~ After wearing this for good 2 weeks I can see that this bb cream stays on my face without slipping around on my face and my T-zone look less oily at the end of the day, oh and another major plus: This bb cream did not break me out! yay~ :)

some tips with this bb cream:

If you try to squeeze the contents from the hole on the sponge sometimes it spits it out making a mess so its better to uncap and squeeze an amount on your hands, use the back of your hand as a palette and just dab the sponge on your hand and apply~

But there are some negatives:

I dont think bb cream contain any SPF??? I didnt see it on its packaging or anywhere online it says anything about it containing SPF,,, =_=;; Another thing, I have to say this bb cream are pretty expensive it is 2730 yen which is about $35US that is pretty expensive for drugstore brand and also most bb cream size contents are 50g but this one is only 35g :( I truly wish Japanese products gave more products, most are just too small and there is not a bang for your bucks... I feel that this is ONE of major flaws with Japanese beauty products. So if any Japanese cosmetic companies see this PLEASE make your products with a bigger contents! D;    

Overall:

I give this bb cream 4/5 ☆★★★★ 

-☆ star cause there is no SPF and expensive for its size :P

screen caps from the video below~

starting with a bare skin with all the flaws: sun spots, dark panda circles, redness around nose, acne scars

you can see that the Fairy Drops bb cream covered all my flaws :D

Left side without and Right side with bb cream

Finished with a healthy glow! :)

Well that was it for this post! I hope you enjoyed this review and got a better idea of this bb cream~☆

• After shampooing, apply appropriate amount of hair cream to dampened hair. Leave in for the night and enjoy a glossy hair the very next day!
• Apply the hair cream to dry hair in the morning, gently rub the hair cream into your hair as daily hair care treatment. 

My take:

Makes my hair healthy feeling and smooth when I run my fingers through my hair, great for processed dry hair especially on the ends. One thing with this item is that if you apply too much it can weight your hair down and feels oily but if your hair is needing some moisture and frizzy this product is great!

Essential Rich premier ultra honey hair mask

what is says in sasa.com

description
Essential RICH PREMIER Ultra Honey Hair Mask is formulated with 3X more high purity honey and milk protein to protect and strengthen. It provides intensive care, especially to the last 15 cm of hair, which is prone to dryness, tangles and split ends. Hair is left soft, elastic and easy to manage. The mask gives a scent of flower and fruit.

It is added with shea butter, a repairing and moisturizing ingredient, to make hair extra smooth. Sunflower oil leaves a protective layer to keep hair soft and moisturized.
The product gives untamable hair a smooth and manageable feel.

Recommended for use 2 to 3 times a week.

how to use it

1. After washing hair, gently dry it with a towel.
2. Apply an appropriate amount to hair (it is recommended to apply a table-tennis ball-sized portion to medium-length to long hair).
3. Leave on for 5 minutes before rinsing with water.

my take:

I love Essential hair series so I knew I would love this hair mask even before I tried since their rich premier conditioner is already really moisturizing so I expected this one to be even more rich and so this product have been working as expected after using this mask it makes my hair soft, moisturized and shiny :D I love touching my hair after doing this mask feels healthy, worth getting if your hair is colored/processed and needing some shine and moisture to your hair!

I always make sure to spray this before I use my straightener or blow dyer because this add a protective layer of protein and also makes my hair more silky and strong feeling.

How I use it:

I stray this after I wash my hair when its semi damp and brush it in or when its dry focusing on the ends before styling.

Overall:

Nice size bottle it will last you a good while and you can get them at major stores like target :D My hair feels silkier and the dry ends feels strong more and manageable,, no frizzy ends :P Use this before styling and it will make your hair feel thicker and healthier.

Chi Nano and ghd styler

I got my Chi nano about 3 years ago but you can still get the newer version Chi Nano at Ulta  and I just got ghd pink styler from sephora. I do style my hair with hair straightener and I also curl my hair with them since the 1" straightener makes it easy to curl with :) So far testing out ghd to see whats so amazing about it and tell you the truth I think its just ok... dont get me wrong it does a great job but its not that amazing,, my chi nano does as good of a job as the ghd so far not so impressed by this ghd but I will do a full review on this ghd styler after I use it more! :P I wanted to highlight some of the issue that surrounds ghd hair straighteners such as how to spot a fake ghd since there are TONS out there so if you are planning to buy a ghd make sure to buy from authorized dealer such as sephora<3 :)

I know this post wasnt all that in-depth like my usual review and Im sorry :( Been super busy lately trying to find time to blog more ok,, I have all the reviews for the other product complete I will make a video of them too~<3 please be patient with me X3

EOS Candy Pink circle lens review FOTD w/Video

Hi~!

Here is a review for EOS Candy Pink circle lens :D

The lens are sponsored by Pinkyparadise.com for review proposes and I was not paid to review this item so this lens review are my 100% honest opinion :3

EOS Candy Pink

Item details
Weight: 0 kg, 100 grams
Stock: Stock available
Brand : E.O.S
Diameter : 14.5mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Life Span : 1 year disposal

Ok, this is my second pair of EOS candy series lens and so I have already reviewed Candy Brown in the past post so pretty much its gonna be the same review lol X3

My take:

As I said before I really adore EOS lenses due to its opacity since their lens seems to really enhances my dark brown eyes and most of the EOS lenses are really comfortable also~♥ But I noticed that after wearing this candy series often my eyes do seem to get tired more easily after a while of wear that can cause somewhat of irritation in my eyes but after I use my Rohto eye drops seems to be fine :) For this lens being 14.5mm lens they seems give nice Dolly eyes but its not over bearing to a point they look alien-ish so I really do adore this candy series~ The pattern and the color pink in this lens can look fake but looks very unique which I dont mind at all since I like weird lenses that gives off somewhat of cosplay look har har :P But can look some what natural if you are not staring into the eyes at a close range XD

Overall:

8/10

-1 point for bold circles around the lens can look overpowering and -1 point since this lens can get alittle uncomfortable after long period of wear.

But with -2 points I still really like this lens! its really similar to Pure max pink lens that I have reviewed in the past in terms of the color and the effect but this one more bold due to its vivid black ring so they seem to be more contrast to the eye and so the Pink color is more noticeable :D Give off very pretty gradient pink shade that blends into the natural eye color and also gives off some what of halo effect and looks really unique and pretty.

Recommend:

If you are going to do cosplay with character that have pink to violet eyes this lens will give off nice anime pink/purple eyes for sure! X3 For those that want noticeable pinkish purple eyes and also gives off dolly effect this lens is for you~♥
