I dolled up for board game night with friends, because I can.

The title says it all.
Board game night with my close friends, and I decided to do myself up because why not?

While waiting for my friends who live in west-end Toronto and Etobicoke to come uptown for dinner, I had enough to time to put a little more effort into how I looked. I was really feeling it too since I hadn't done myself up lately. I used to put on a full face any time I went out, whether it was for food, or for hanging out. I'm just too lazy nowadays.

Anyways, I went for a rose pink + brown sort of smokey cat eye with my beloved Ayamo Rockabilly lashes from the Eyemazing x Amoyamo collection. I even curled my hair slightly (　´∀｀)

Before curling

After!

Also wanted to show off my hair colour (｡･ω･｡) I got it touched up recently since my roots were kind of really bad...

It's a high lift ash blonde colour mixed with a 40 volume developer (No bleach!), which is the same colour I did last time. Because it's done on top of a high lift colour from before, the lightening is more apparent. Next time, I'm thinking of going blonde again（*´▽｀*）

Close-ups!

Please ignore the eyelash band (⌒_⌒;) The eyeliner I use isn't entirely matte; it has a bit of a shimmer to it, so it doesn't hide the lash band as well as a matte colour would.

(Also ignore that corner that came up shhhhh you wouldn't have been able to tell in real life)

Hmm I also need to do a bit of eyebrow grooming it seems. The problem with taking photos with a DSLR is the high-def. You can see every bit of eyebrow hairs that are growing (/□＼*)・゜

Review: EOS Adult Brown from HoneyColor.com

A short review today of a pair of lenses I received a couple of weeks ago!

I bought the EOS New Adult Brown lenses from HoneyColor.com for my future Kuriyama Mirai (Kyoukai no Kanata) cosplay.

As you can see, Mirai's eyes are a light brown. I already own a pair of brown lenses (A3 Bambi, supposed to look like the Masuwaka Tsubasa produced ones) however it's too dark of a brown.

The Adult Brown lenses are perfect for this!

Link to the listing: http://www.honeycolor.com/eos-new-adult-brown.html



I placed my order on Honeycolor during a promotion period (Free shipping above $18 I believe it was). It was also my first ever purchase on Honeycolor. I have bought lenses from Pinkyparadise, Lensvillage and my friend's own batch order group, Cosqueen, on Facebook.

The lenses took a couple days to ship out and arrived about two weeks later, which is standard for regular shipping.

Honeycolor packages their products very well! It arrived in a small cardboard box, and inside was another small little box with the lens cases fitted to the side.

On the back of the box with the lenses, there are instructions on how to put on contacts. This is really useful for those who are purchasing circle lenses for the first time.

The lens vials are placed really neatly inside the box. Out of all the sites I have ordered from, Honeycolor wins in packaging!

So there were no troubles ordering from Honeycolor and I am more than pleased with the way everything was shipped! The only concern I would have is the lack of cushioning inside the parcel since the lenses are placed inside slots in the box.

Onto the lenses!

  

Specifications

BC:  8.6 mm
DIA:  14.0 mm
Water content:  38%

Colour & Pattern: A light, honey brown that shows up very well on my chocolate-brown eyes. In regards to my cosplay, I think it's a very suitable brown. The pattern is like a softer version of the EOS Dolly Eye series, which are incredibly opaque and solid coloured. It makes your eyes look slightly crystal-like and very delicate. I'm in love with the effect!

Size: These lenses are 14.0mm which are smaller than I am used to. All of my other lenses are either 14.2mm or 14.5mm so they aren't as enlarging as I would like (Especially for the cosplay of such a moe-looking character). On the other hand, it's more suitable for normal daytime wear if you want a more subtle but noticeable effect on your eyes.

Comfort: I have had no problems with discomfort with these lenses. The first day I wore them, I stayed out for about 10 hours. As with all lenses, they tend to dry out the longer you wear them, usually around the 6-7 hour point. Always keep eye drops that are contact-safe on you whenever you wear lenses!

All in all, I love these lenses and the effect it gives to my eyes. I have been trying to wear smaller lenses nowadays since I've been getting over the whole dolly-eye look, but I don't want to give it up completely either so I find these lenses a good compromise!

New goodies (AKA haul)

Whoop! A haul post! I'll keep it nice and simple!


My red lenses finally arrived from Pinky Paradise! I ordered a pair of Vassen Dolly Plus Red lenses. I believe they're also known as the I.Fairy series? (Correct me if I'm wrong!)

Bottle-view

I ordered these for my Rei Ayanami cosplay (School uniform, not advanced enough yet to make the plugsuit OTL). I've also been wanting a pair of red lenses and from pictures, these seemed the best! They look absolutely stunning on! I'll make a separate post reviewing these when I get the time to wear them out properly haha!

Here's a not-so-good quality photo of them worn. I was just trying them on with makeup that day.

Red doesn't show up well in this lighting though :(

Next up, I bought two makeup items today ☆

A new liquid eyeliner pen! I already have my beloved Missha one (Which I still love to death) but this one isn't black. It's a wine coloured eyeliner pen! Super super fine brush tip makes it a dream to work with! How it wears, I'll find out in the following days when I wear it out!

Product name: CANDY★SHOP Professional Pen Eyeliner in #3 Wine

I also bought a new eyeshadow today. It was on sale for $2? $3? It's a slightly frosty rose/pink with a hint of maroon. I'm hoping to use it in some harajuku/cult party kei inspired makeup looks (*´・ｖ・)

Product name: Beauty Credit Lovely Eye Color - Dazzling Purple

Colour is a tad darker, must be the frost particles reflecting!

Here's a quick swatch of both products:

EXTRA: I haven't painted my nails in a while (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ

Essie First base base coat

ORLY Liquid Vinyl

Essie Stroke of Brilliance (Luxeffect polish)

Seche Vite Dry fast top coat

Finally, a post! Haul: Holika Holika, Real Technique, China Glaze, Circle Lenses

So I've made a couple posts here before but coming back to it a couple months later, I decided I wasn't satisfied with them. Therefore, I have decided to start anew and in the time I have spent neglecting this blog, I think I finally decided what this blog will be about.

Okay, kind of not really, but I generally will be talking about beauty (Yes, I will be an addition to the 19234820+ beauty blogs out there), music and interesting bits of my life. By interesting bits, I'm not talking daily life blog, but things like conventions, special events, interesting finds, good food and maybe some lolwut posts.


Finally, here is the first post to the blog! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧彡

To start off, I have a haul here and some small reviews on the haul items. I recently went to Pacific Mall to pick up contacts for myself and a friend and while I was there, I picked up some things from Holika Holika and Phoenix Beauty Lounge. I returned to Pmall today to grab a two more things, a China Glaze polish and a new pair of shoes!

Onto the items!
