Laura Geller Beauty Various Products Review with Detailed Swatches & A Chance to get a 20% discount!


Hello!  I am so delighted to share a few products from Laura Geller.  On a Friday, my sister, her boyfriend, and I decided to go to the mall and on my way to the car a FedEx truck drives by and hands me a package.  It was filled with Laura Geller products!  I was only expecting one or two products but they GENEROUSLY sent me sooo many that it just made me want to cry.  Thank you Laura Geller PR Team <3.

Without further ado, let's get into the products.

Cruelty-free Eyelash Brand - Ono Lash Review


Hello there!  So sorry for not posting anything in a while, this post was suppose to be posted early last week but something happened.  Last Sunday, while playing dodgeball I sprained my ankle when landing when I went to play with a group of friends at an indoor trampoline park.  I heard a loud crack.  I was like "oh my gosh....."  After a week and a half later, my ankle is 90% healed and been feeling sluggish for some reason.  This is my second time spraining my ankle. (-_-) *sigh*  I had too much fun that day. 

Anyways, today I'll be reviewing six pairs of false lashes that Ono Lash generously sent me.  Of course everything is 1000% my honest opinion.  Let me tell you a little bit about the brand before I get into the review.  The creator of Ono Lash is Sophie Ono, who is a New York City makeup artist.  She's done makeup looks for celebrities and top publications such as Vogue, Nylon, Essence, and others.  One of the best things about Ono Lash is that their lashes are cruelty-free!  Their lashes are made from non-animal derived fiber blends and human hair.  They have roughly 23 different lash styles so you're guaranteed to find at least one lash pair you'd like. :)

Is this or is this not the cutest box packaging out there.  Love the cute stickers.  Definitely saving this box.

Recent Macy's Buy - FREE 7pc gift set with Lancome purchases over $35 & more gifts with $70+ purchases! GREAT Steal!

Hello!  So about a week ago, a Macys newsletter magazine thing came in and on the back was an awesome Lancome FREE 7pc gift set for purchases over $35!  You could get 3 more free gifts when you spend over $70.  This gift set started earlier this week and is while supplies lasts.  On Aug 14th-15th ONLY they'll also be giving out a free blush brush with the gift set.  Which is why I waited until the 14th to get my set.  Haha.

I went to Macys earlier this week with my sisters to swatch the samples of the set and I fell in love with the warm lipstick and blush set BUT I seriously could not find anything to buy from Lancome!  I already have a few makeup products from Lancome and they're not really anything special.  BUT you can never go wrong with a high end foundation. :)  I searched for a foundation but just couldn't find any that I like and I really love my Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation so...  I thought I would just pass this gift set but I went home that day and spent hours looking at the Macys site to find reviews on products and decided to go with a skincare product.


I ended up getting Lancome's Eau Fraiche Douceur Micellar Cleansing Water ($38).  As if I don't already have enough cleansing products. (-_-)   I know... but I recently just finished my cleansing water from Etude House and am using my favorite cleansing water from Insobeau.  It works sooo good that I don't even want to use it.  Haha.  Do you guys feel like that too?  Or is it just me?

Anastasia Beverly Hills - Shadow Couture World Traveler Eye Shadow Palette Swatches & First Impressions

Hello!  Guess what.  My sister and I went to Ulta to grab Anastasia Beverly Hill's new Couture World Traveler palette! :D  Ever since the time we went to Macys and talked with the sales lady I've been wanting to get it.  So far I really like it.


The packaging looks like it would make a really chic clutch.  Haha.

Fast & Easy 5 Minute Cat Eye Makeup Look in Less Than 10 Steps + Mini Circle Lens Review

Hello!  Long time no tutorial!  ^__^  I wanted to do a quick makeup look that you can do in 5 minutes.  I figured everyone has their own makeup base routine and what not so I didn't include that.  Okay, I lied.  Maybe not actually 5 minutes but maybe 10 minutes if you include my skincare process and base makeup. ( >.< )  I went with simple eye makeup that can match any lip color.  Hope you enjoy :)

LotusLashes #504 & #311 Mink Fur Lashes Review

Hello there!  I have been waiting forever to share these mink eyelashes with you guys!~ :D I've always loved false lashes ever since I found out about in 6th grade.  Oh my gosh, I'm getting sooo old.... They're my ultimate makeup accessory.  Anyways, Lotuslashes recently sent me two of my favorite pairs from their mink lash collection.  Thank you Lotuslashes!  Lotuslashes has three different volume types; light volume, medium volume, and high volume.  I choose lashes #504 Medium Volume and #311 Light Volume.

If you don't already know what mink eyelashes are, they are made from cruelty-free mink and lightweight, no fuss and great for people with both sensitive eyes or contact wearers.  They are reusable up to 25 times, depending on how good you take care of them.  What's the difference between synthetic and mink lashes?  Well, mink eyelashes have a natural shine that synthetic lashes cannot duplicate, does not bother the eyes, not as heavy and lasts wayyy longer.

Stay tuned until the end for a discount code! ^__^

MEMEBOX x MakeupByEvon Cream Matte Lipsticks #HDREADY Collection Review + NEW HAIR in Process

Hello!  Today I'll be introducing you guys to Memebox's new collaboration with MakeupbyEvon, who is a self taught makeup artist youtube beauty guru.  I am surprised to see that there are barely any blog posts about this makeup collaboration with Memebox (couldn't find any reviews, I was debating whether to get the MakeupbyEvon skincare & makeup box or the Botanic Farm Box.  I ended up getting the Botanic Farm Box and I'm super happy with it.  I will try to finish that post as soon as possible. ^__^ ).

The whole makeup line consist of two contour palettes for lighter and darker skin tones and three cream matte lipsticks from the Marsala color family.  Evon actually chose to go with Pantone's color of the year, Marsala which is perfect for us ladies who are warm-toned! The ingredients are listed on the website which is super helpful for those who have sensitive skin.  I was sent the three cream matte lipsticks as a gift and thought I would share them with you guys. :)  Thank you so much again Memebox! ( >_< )  Stay tuned for an exclusive discount code!

The packaging of the box sort of reminds me of Anastasia Beverly Hills packaging.
Love how they have the colors peeking through.

I really like how the color on the box is super close to the color of the actual product.
And for the first time in forever, I could read what's on the bottom.  Usually there would be a stamp printed on top, so glad it doesn't have that anymore.

Memebox I'm Lip Crayon Newly Released Colors Review

Hello!  Sorry for not posting for over a month.  Thankfully school is now over!  Today I'll be reviewing Memebox's new colors in their I'm Lip Crayon collection! :D  There are five new colors and they're all perfect for spring and summer!  Ah, I'm so excited to share this with you guys! :D

I was expecting my false lashes order to come in and was waiting all week for it since there wasn't a tracking number and it already passed 2 weeks.  I was super happy to see a package, I thought it was my eyelashes, but Memebox surprised me with a package!  The packaging was super cute!  It was packed in a durable metallic sliver bubble wrap envelope.  I didn't know it was from Memebox until I was their label, usually it comes in a brown box.  These items were sent to me but everything is my honest option.

I did already try out their lip crayon when it first came out.  I got the color #04 Juliet.  It's a bright purple-pink, you can read the review here. ;)  There isn't much photos of it in that review, so I'm making this one (review) super detailed. ^__^


Ahhhh!  I like the simple packaging, I think it's pretty cute.  I especially like how the color is the color of the lip crayon.  It doesn't make me guess what color I got.

Fail Red Velvet Ice Cream MakeUp Tutorial + ICK Gaudy Blue & Wig Review


Ah, so full right now.  Just came home from eating Korean food with friends.  I think I'm done with Asian food for a while.  Haha.  Anyways, I'm back with another circle lens review!  Yay!  But this time I decided I should go with something different, so I went with a tutorial!  Haha.  It's not the best, but I tried...  so embarrassing, first time showing my bare eyeballs.  LOL.

While ordering items for my April review I wanted to do a Red Velvet Inspired Makeup look but it kind of failed.  They had every natural makeup with light grey/blue contact lens but I kind of added a bit of red in it too.  I was looking at Joy's makeup by the way.

Pony x MEMEBOX Shine Easy Glam 3 Collection: Blossom Lipsticks & Pink Bloom Eyeshadow Quad Review



Hello!  Guess what.  Pony's third season with Memebox was finally released on their global site last week Friday!  I ordered all four lipsticks (red, burgundy red, pinky-orange, bright pink) and one eyeshadow quad right when I got home.  There is a total of three eyeshadow quads; brown, orange, and pink.  Of course I got the pink quad.  I'm seriously impressed.
Site: https://us.memebox.com/
Who is Pony?  " Korean self-taught MUA and the winner of "2011 Makeup Artist of the Year Award", Pony is one of the hottest beauty icons in the industry. Her passion for beauty is evident on her YouTube channel Pony's Beauty Diary where she delivers the hottest K-Beauty trends. She teamed up with Memebox to design products that are beginner-friendly and can glam you up instantly- Shine, Easy, Glam."  Pony also has her own youtube channel, in which you can subscribe here. ;)  She's seriously one of my favorite Korean icons.



Ah, the packaging is sooo pretty! (  ^ o ^ )/  What I don't like about the packaging is that the top is easily scratched and when you touch it it leaves EVERY SINGLE FINGER PRINT.  It's one of my pet peeves when the packaging it like that.




The box of her products are super cute too!  It's girly and perfect for spring.  I'm surprised that the ingredients are not in English.  Nothing is in English expect for the shadow names and the palette type.  It's not a big deal to me but It maybe to some people.

Stylenanda 3CE Waterful Foundation Nude Beige & Cream Blusher Baby Peach Review


Bonjour mon amies!  ( ^o^ )/  Aujourd'hui est un compte rendu... okay I'll stop.  I took French for two years and I suck so I'll stop.  >.<  (but I hope to continue!)  Anyways, hello.  Today is a review on the long awaited Stylenanda's 3CE Glossing Waterful Foundation in Nude Beige and Cream Blusher in Baby Peach.

If you don't know what 3CE is, you're crazy and not into Korean Cosmetics.  But that's why you have me to explain and get you addicted. :)  HAHAHA.  3CE stands for 3 Concept Eyes and is Stylenanda's cosmetic line.  They started off as a fashion store in Korea and started to expand big time.  They released their cosmetic line in 2009 and it was a PRETTY BIG hit.  Their things are a bit expensive but if you compare it to other brands it's not that bad...? :/

Here's a bit of a description of their 3CE brand:
"3 CONCEPT EYES makes fashionable ladies shine with three kinds of attractive eyes; pink, orange, and beige.  Any one can experience a special make over with the various spectrum of modern colors about creative unique impression."

They do have a site in English! (yay!)  Shipping is $20 and I know I do not want to pay for that.  (-__-)  I could of bought another lipstick from them!  Haha.  But for orders over $100, shipping is only $10 for USA orders (depends on where you live).  I bought these two products from yesstyle but they no longer have these products on their site.  BUT guess what.  One of my favorite sites, Memebox has it on their site ON SALE.  The Waterful Foundation is usually listed $30-40 on other sites but it's on sale for $25!  It's not going to get any cheaper so I highly recommend you get it there.  (Oh my gah, Memebox is killing me.  They released a value set featuring 3CE lip lacquer in Dahlia.  Totally worth it).  They also offer free shipping over $30.

Site:  http://www.stylenandaen.com/

**By the way these products are authentic.  Please be very careful to not buy fakes on ebay or any wholesale sites.  If the price is too good to be true, it's most likely a fake.  Trust me, I bought fake 3CE lip pigments once.  Gosh, I was naive (still kind of am). /sigh.**

Nylon x MEMEBOX - Sweet 16 Eye and Face Palette Review



Hello!  I know it's been a long time since my last Memebox post.  But guess what!  Memebox recently collaborated with Nylon for their 16th anniversary and created a face and eye palette called Sweet 16, #itgirlpalette.  Here's a bit of a description of the palette:

"#ItGirlPalette is NYLON’s special gift to its readers in celebration of their 16th anniversary. All colors were carefully picked by NYLON’s senior beauty editors with a strong emphasis on versatility and uniqueness. Each color packs a punch so you can amp up the night with just one shade, or blend your favorites to create a custom look! This palette is a must-have for all gals that are edgy, trend-setting, and f***ing awesome. Cruelty Free."
Site: https://us.memebox.com/
 It's Spring break and I was not expecting a package expect for my monthly Uniqso order.  My mom came home and grabbed the mail on her way in.  There was a package for me!  It was from Memebox and so I was like huh?  I didn't order anything.  Turns out they sent me their new palette with Nylon to review.  They also sent cute little samples.

I received three samples of Skin79 bb creams.  I own three of them and they aren't my favorite.  I think my favorite would be the gold and orange bb creams.  I also have the hot pink one and I seriously do not know why it was such a big hit back in the days.  Anyways...on to the palette.


All ingredients are listed on the back of the box.

What kind of circle lens are best for what kind of look? 3 different lens, 3 different looks.

Hello!  I know it's been a super long while since I've done a circle lens post so today is going to be about what kind of makeup look I did with different colored lens.  If you noticed I'm usually wearing grey or brown lens.  Rarely any blue, greens, purples, pinks, or reds.  But today there's a green pair of lens I'm reviewing! :D

All lenses are from Uniqso and are always in my most honest opinion.  They recently added some new lens so check out their site! :)

Oh my goodness, I think these have become my favorite grey lenses.  These are GEOLIC Euro Celine Grey and are seriously the most natural grey lens I have ever worn.  The first time I wore these lens they dried my eyes roughly after four hours of wearing them, but after a few more times of wearing them they didn't dry out my eyes.  I guess it was just that day my eyes were dry.  The lens also gives a perfect enlargement, not too big or too small.  Extremely comfortable and thin.  Sad that these lens only last three months.  I seriously am in love with the natural blend with the grey to my natural dark brown eyes.  These lens look more blue than grey, but it's okay I don't mind blue eyes either.  Haha.  Highly recommend these lens.

Okay, make up look.  When I think of grey or blue eyes I personally think about a "sexy" eye look; like a smokey eye, cat liner, dark eye shadows, dramatic lashes, ect.  It also depends on the design of the lens.  For example, two color designs are more "dolly" like and 3 (tri) colors are more natural.  Because these lens are tri colored, I went with a "darker" look.  I think these lens could also go with a light natural eye look.

Estee Lauder Collaborates with Lisa Perry - Macys Get free 8 pc set with purchases of $35 or more!


Hello you guys!  I will be making a quick post about Macy's awesome Estee Lauder free gift promotion.  So on Saturday, I believe, a Macy's magazine came in the mail informing us about the sales going on this weekend.  On the back was filled with Estee Lauder products!  In big read letters it read "FREE 8 pc gift with purchases $35 or more!"  My eyes were like in *gasp*.  What a deal!



I thought about getting their new pure color envy shine lipstick line, but I figured I should go for a foundation since the set already comes with a full size lipstick.  I went to the mall on Sunday afternoon and turns out they did not have the promotion.  The lady said that it won't be starting until Wednesday March 3rd in stores.  Went back on Wednesday and got Estee Lauder's Double Wear Stay in Place Foundation.  My very (actually second,  my first was 3CE waterfull foundation, but it's a Korean brand, so I guess it's my first luxury American brand) first luxury foundation!

I also got my very first color match.  Turns out I'm in the color 1N2 Ecru.  It's a pale ivory beige with neautral undertones.  It looks super natural when she applied it on my face.  She also gave me a sample size of the product.  When I was getting color matched she said "didn't I already color match you?"  I replied no.  We simply go to Macy's a lot.  It's embracing when the majority of the workers know you.  Haha.  My sisters and I go there too much.

Memebox Princess Edition #1 Snow White Unboxing & Review


After coming home from grocery shopping I saw a pink memebox outside the side door.  I was so surprised and delighted to see it.  I did not know what box it was, but it has heavy!  So I hurriedly went inside and dropped off the grocery bags went back outside, grabbed the Memebox and ran to my room to open it.  I tried to open it with my hands but couldn't!  Usually I could just rip it open easily.  Anyways, moving along.  Turns out I received Memebox Special Princess Edition #1 Snow White.  This box is currently sold out but you never know when they'll randomly restock this box. :)

Gah!  Look at all that good stuff!  This box is so pink!

Uniqso - ICK Clara Grey and Stella Eyelashes Review

Hello there!  I think I'm going to start posting my Uniqso reviews on my blogspot too.  I will still be sharing my photos on my tumblr! :)  I think the format here looks better than on my tumblr theme.  Anyways I got three items from Uniqso for the month of November and I seriously can't wait for my December items!  I got a bb cream from Skin79 and a pair of brown lens that hopefully I'll love as much as the green lens in that series.  I'll be doing a holiday look with those two items so look out for my next review on Uniqso soon! ^o^)/  Okay, back to the three items, I got ICK Clara Grey, Stella Eyelashes Natural Prime 2001, and Lolita Wig BJ in which I will post at a different time.

I guess I'll start off with the lashes.  I am so glad I picked out these lashes!  I usually go for short natural voluminous lashes, but this time I wanted lashes for length.  I need lengthening lashes in my collection.  These lashes are in natural prime 2001.
