I.Fairy Hanabi Red Review

Hello.. I'm back with another circle lens review.. This time it's from I.Fairy, Hanabi series in Red color, sent to me by Iszocirclelens for review purpose.

Diameter: 16.2mm

Water content: 55%

Base curve: 8.6

-inside part-

-upside part-

Design and color 9/10:

The design is quite unique, just like tornado. And the color is just really bright, even with indoor lighting, you can still see the vivid red colour.

-indoor lighting-

-with flash-

Enlargement 7/10:

With 16.2 mm, the lenses look big but still quite natural. I think that Geo Big Grang Grang is bigger than this although the dia is only 15mm.

Comfort 9/10:

I never have problems with I.Fairy lens before and this one is the same. I think I.Fairy lens is more comfortable than Geo lens, eventhough I still need to use eyedrop after 7 hours.

Overall, I think that this lens is more suitable for cosplay. You will look weird using red lens in daily life :|

That's all for now, thank you for reading ^^

FOTD: Romantic Cute Look

Hello girls..

Well this post will mainly full of my selca photos, so if you don't want to see it, just close this tab now :p

I don't know what should I call this post, so I just named it as Romantic Cute look, since I posed cute right here, don't you think so? ._.

Actually, I just wanted to put purple colour eyeshadow on my eyes, I think it will look pretty for romantic look. But the eyeshadow I applied was terrible, so I don't put the close up look of my eyes here, later ya after I practiced :p

I ended up taking so much selcas.. Hahaha.. At first, I wanted to show ulzzang gradient lips, but I think it's too much, so I tried to wipe it and put on softer colour on my lips.

I'm not used to see gradient lips.. Should try softer colour next time ._.

Then I added D'eyeko false lashes (will review it soon!) plus purple stripe bow headband, looks cuter eh? xDD

Tried to do Gwiyomi pose ;p.. It's so popular right now, I didn't even know it if my friend didn't show me the video.

Then at the end, after removing the false lashes and headband, still trying to pose. Huahaha.. This time I look more elegant, yes or no? :D

I really like the last photo, my face look so flawless and glowy there. It's like 'no makeup' makeup look :D

Tony Moly Help Me Lip Balm Review

Heyho lip balm junkies!

Ever think of other function of lip balm besides for moisturizing your lips? It's for self-protection! And you can get that function from Tony Moly Help Me Lip Balm ~

The name itself is funny and describe much about the function. XD

Too bad that there is no English description for the product but still we can understand enough from the illustration :3

The advertising image is so funny, help me lip balm as a boxer xD

Tony Moly Help Me Lip Balm available in two options: Super Moisture and Wonder Tint Balm. I'm happy that I got the Super Moisture one, as you probably have known that I like clear lip balm ^^

Simple packaging but looks attractive. Its round shape in hot pink colour with that help me name sure will get attention, moreover if you use it on your bag :D

The manufactured date. It's still really new (of course because it's one of new product from Tony Moly recently :3)

There is a tiny plastic to separate the products and the lid, I find it common in Tony Moly products.

Since it's not a tinted lip balm, the product in a jar doesn't have any color and so does when you apply it on your lips.

Well remember about the function I mentioned at the beginning of this post? Yes it's for self-protection. I think it's important for women to bring something to protect ourself, like pepper spray xD

But this one is cuter.. :p

How does it works?

Just pull out that part and it will scream loudly! Really really loud, kind of police sirene, but not really. The voice is so loud and annoying so I immediately put it back on its place before my neighbour curious what sound was that xD

So it's really useful, just in case you're in a dangerous situation, quickly take this lip balm and pull out the chain. :)

And here is the before-after pic:

As you can see, it doesn't give any colour to my lips, just makes it look glossy because of the moisturizing effect. It's not sticky at all which I love! It has a nice orange scent. Well actually I thought it will smell like strawberry since it comes in a pink packaging but I was wrong :p

What I don't really like from this lip balm is just the jar packaging, which means that I have to use my finger to apply the product to my lips. But I never used my fingers since it's not hygienic that way, so I always use brush. It's not convenient to use separate brush, how I wish they could include applicator along this kind of packaging. :(

Mine is super moisture but I think the moisturizing function is just ordinary, I still have to apply it after two or three hours.

I think it's really an interesting concept to include other function like this into one lip balm, thanx to Tony Moly creative thinking that we can use this cute lip balm for self-protection too ^^

Thank you BNTNews for sending me this lip balm.

T-ara N4 Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Hey K-Pop lovers!

Do you know that T-ara have their subunit now? It's named N4 which is a shortened form of T-ara Brand New 4. N4 consists of Hyomin, Jiyeon, Eunjung, and Areum.

I am pretty excited to hear their new songs, since I'm a big fans of T-ara. So when I was browsing through Google Image to find teaser images of N4, I found this one from Soompi, they look so pretty there and I decided to recreate the makeup look. :D But when I saw the pic again, I don't think it's a teaser image for N4 since their concept is hip hop but it's okay right? >.<

-Hyomin, Jiyeon, Areum, Eunjung-

So I did four makeup look, what differentiate the look is just how the eyeline shape. :)

Let's start with the face makeup!

My bare face, ready to put primer and bb cream. :D

1. The very first thing I do is apply makeup base for my dull face, I'm using Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base #2 Berry.

2. Then, I mix Holika Holika Pure Mellow Skin Tuning Starter with Rojukiss Enca AC Control BB Cream by ratio 1:1. Since neither Baby Choux Base nor Enca AC Control BB Cream have glowy finish, I need to add Pure Mellow Skin Tuning Starter to make my face look more glowy.

3. I use my favorite concealer atm: the Balm Liquid Time Balm Concealer to conceal any redness, acne scars and hide my dark circle.

4. Set it with The Face Shop Lesson 01 Flawless Mineral Cover Powder.

The last step is highlighter. Usually I do this at the end of my makeup process, this time I use Etude House Aloha V-Line Slim Maker. Face makeup done!

Their eyebrows are in brown colour so I will just do the same.

Draw the brow as straight as you can, then fill the gap. I find that to draw this kind of brow perfectly, the best I have to use is like Etude House Drawing Eye Brow. Then to color it, I use Etude House Color My Brow.

I don't know if they use eyeshadow or not, so this step is optional. :p

a. Use eyeshadow base to make the eyeshadow colour more vibrant. I use Urban Decay Primer Potion Sin since I want shimmering look.

b. Use nude or skin colour eyeshadow for entire eyelid. I use Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette #Tease

c. Since I think it's not shimmering enough so I add more shimmer. I use Tarte Ten Limited Edition Collector's Palette #Vivid Shimmering Gold

d. For half of my eyelid, I use Tony Moly Delight Mono Shadow #9

Now the first look I will recreate is Hyomin.

Her eye makeup is the simplest. Just draw the line until the end of your eye.

Then add shimmering pink or white eyeshadow at the middle of your lower lash line. I'm using Etude House Dear Girls Cute Eyes Maker Step 2.

Whether you want to use false eyelashes or mascara, it's up to you. I'm lazy so I just use Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Edge Meister Mascara. I really love this mascara, it's much better than MM Lash King (will review it soon). Then, add bling bling to area below your eyes. Since I don't have any bling bling sticker, I just use Etude House Tear Eye Liner #1.

This is the final look (^0^)/

Actually my lip colour isn't the same as her. At first I use Etude House Etoinette Crystal Shine Lips PK002 but I think the color is too bright, so I topped it with Crystal Shine Lips PK001.

This one looks better since I used my phone main camera while the two others used front camera ._.

Do you realize that I just do eye makeup for my right eye? xD

Next is Areum.

For Areum's eye makeup, I just continued from Hyomin's look before. Line your lower lash line, erase the bling bling area and you're done xD

For the lip colour, I use concealer first. I use Maybelline BB Stick as the concealer and then I use Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk OR204.

Messy hair.. xD

The third one is Eunjung.

For Eunjung's eye makeup, the eye line must be bolder than previous two and wing the end a little bit. Then line the lower lash line and join it with the upper line.

Her lips has gradient effect. I'm not used to use liptint so the result is messy -_-. I use Peripera Peri's Tint Marker #Orange at the inner part of the lips. While the outer part colour is the same as before.

The last one is Jiyeon ^^

I always admire Jiyeon's eye makeup. It's like her signature look and finally now I can try to do it. Although I think in this photo, her eye makeup is not as bold as usual.
