GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED

Dolly Wink Eyeshadow

I bought this from Mbok a short while a go
I found it's a good place to find these items a little cheaper than usual!

Some were second hand, they'd been used like once or twice but this was brand new


The packaging is a mini "booklet" of the style to match the eyeshadow
It also has tips for applying


The pallette itself
The sponge has 2 different heads, it works out perfectly
So that for the reccommended application you use one side per colour!
Which also really helps you remember the order etc if you don't have instructions


Like most of Tsu-chans products
They seem really small in quantity but the pigmets make for great usage!
Not a lot is needed at all, especially of the pink! It's so vivid when you apply


Here's some examples of things from the booklet
Inclusinf the applicationg method I used


It was weirdly hard to try get a decent picture of how the make up turned out
So I hope you can deal with this one a la crazy eyes!! Hahaha

I really like these eye shadows, in the future I may buy more
But for now I will stick to and highly reccommend the grey-pink style!

All that glitters is... Gal ♥

The polish in this post were provided to me by Glitter Gal
Though required to review for their website all opinions stated are my own

Product; 3D Holographic in Marine Blue

"Glitter Gal is an Australian company that designs and manufactures
makeup artist quality cosmetics at affordable prices.

Glitter Gal prides itself in understanding the current and future trends
and has created a makeup range using a kaleidoscope of bright sparkly colours,
packaged in high fashion animal prints and bling."

I have such a love affinity with metallic blue so being offered this polish
It was as though Glitter Gal had read my mind ♥

Holographic polish differs from a glitter polish
It has more depth to the shine, often creating a rainbow of colour
I always found with a glitter polish that to create a full nail of glitter several coats are needed
But with this holographic polish that was not necessary

Building up a glitter polish also means a roughness to the surface from the pieces
But the holographic particles are fine enough that youre left with smooth nails!


Because of work it's not often I get to wear a nail varnish anymore
But that will change for sure now because I am a tad in love with this varnish ♥


This is with one coat! Just as it had been applied





Being holographic it's certainly a finish you need to see in person to appreciate fully
It reflects in so many different ways, my boyfriends neice was mesmerized by my nails!

Eyeko lips and eyes ★

Not really a sponsored review, though I am an Ambassador
This is part of an item set/lucky bag I got from Eyeko not too long ago
(I did not know what I was going to receive)

I've had this review in waiting for too long so I will post it to get it over with hahaha


Product; London lips in Shoreditch

Before this I had never heard of a "shoreditch" and I wondered
How it had anything to do with London as there is no shore there haha
But apparently it's just the name of an area there


I found this not very true to colour, especially compared to the website pitcure
There it looks a lot more red, the tube is not as vibrant but then it applies pink
So all in all that is a little confusing, but the colour is nice regardless
It had a lovely fragrance but is unfortunatly veryyy sticky! Yuck!

Packaging; ★★★★☆
Application; ★★☆☆☆
Colour; ★★☆☆☆




Product; Liptastik in Hot Lips

I'm either more of a make up noob than I realised or this is a new way to use lipstick hehe
It comes in more of a pen style apposed to a flat shaped

It's supposed to have a gloss effect to it and whilst there is a slight sheen
It really does not compare to what a gloss can acheive
I also thought the shape of the product would allow for easier/precision application
But I actually found it a tad more difficult, you can see the mess to the left lol!
I also wasn't a fan of this shade, it's not very me at all

Packaging; ★★★☆☆
Application; ★★☆☆☆
Colour; ★★☆☆☆




Product; Graffitti eyeliner in black

A pen eyeliner with a sturdy nib, unlike some brush style ones
I thought only averagly of this to begin with, wondering how good could it be
As it's just such an ordinary product, but I was impressed after use!

Easy to make thick and think lines for how you desire
These are both with one stroke of the product
It also dries very quickly and is 100% smudge free!!
I rubbed on it as hard as I could and nope, nothing! It was really good


On my eye whilst closed
It was really easy to use and I even slightly prefer it to my Dolly Wink!!

Packaging; ★★☆☆☆
Application; ★★★★★
Colour; ★★★★★



Wearing the eyeliner and liptastik pen ♥

Circle lense review ★

The lenses in this post were provided to me by Pinky Paradise
Though required to review for their website all opinions stated are my own

Lense; Princess Mimi Apple Green
This series is available in Plano to -8.00
Shelf life is 3 years with a usage length of up to 1 year
They are 15.00mm diameter

Here's my package, lenses with animals case and velcro hair grips!
I love getting little extras hehe

PinkyParadise is one of the largest online circle lens store.
350++ type of lenses to choose (natural design, enlarging design, cosplay and crazy lenses)
All lenses are in stock, No pre-order, shipping out immediately


These lenses have been very popular because they are modeled by Tsubasa Masukawa
So I was naturally sucked in to the hype and had to have a pair!
I am very greatful that Pink Paradise offered me this opportunity



They cover my natural eye rather well and blens easily with the multi tonal effect
I also love the black ring and how it intergrates into the design too



Here is one in and one out
You can see that even for 15.00mm which can be considered average in lense size
The enlargement is very noticeable and ample!



Now to strike a post... aka/show my face



Style; ★★★★★
Love these very much!!
The colour is dense enough to give an eye colour change
and the pattern has lovely colour blends and a unique ring around the edge
They can appear quite piercing and really catch attention!

Comfort; ★★★★☆
The lenses are thin and I found them a little wobbly when applying
So it affected my eyes after the attempts at getting them to go in

Enlarging effect; ★★★★★
As stated above these lenses are an average size but the enlargement is great!

As of Jan 2012 please note i am no longer affiliated with Pinky Paradise

They have proven to be one of the worst sponsors I have dealt with and

are growing increasingly stand off-ish with their bloggers

I left this review up for helpful reasons but will no longer deal with them

Face Mask Review ★

The items in this post were provided to me by Artie Style
Though required to review for their website all opinions stated are my own

Product; Utena Puresa Vitamin C Facial Mask


When Artie Style said they would like to send me some face mask to review I was thrilled!
The items arrived quickly and safely too


This mask is a top seller on the website!

"UTENA PURESA Vitamin C Facial Mask is soaked with whitening moisturizer
and contains Vitamin C to control the formation of melanin.
It helps to prevent the appearance of freckles and black spots,
lead it to clear, moistened skin. "


The box contained 5 packs, which I was surprised about!
I am so happy they were kind enough to send the full product and not just a tester
It was very generous of them

Each packet is foiled to lock in the moisture from the mask



The pack containes instructions in Japanese but the images make it easy to follow

Once you open, unfold the mask
Holding the top of the mask lay it upon your face
The eye holes can pop out and be folded down, which gives a double layer under the eye
Leave it on for 10 ~ 15 minutes
Once removed rub in any remaining moisture from the product into your sking

So here goes!


As you can see the product is soacked in the Vitamin C moisturizer!
The mask itself is cloth like and very soft to the touch

The dampness of the mask allows it to stay on your face easily
It may tend to wrinkle etc but its easily moveable to make sure you get full coverage

I kept the mask on for approx 10 minutes
and after I rubbed int he excess moisture into my face, which dried very well
There was a little product left so I just dabbed myself with a face cloth lightly

It felt like I had my face cleansed and moisturized all in one!!
My skin was fresh and smooth for sure
I can't speak from one usage of the whitening benefits but I have faith
That in the long run usage of this product can help to benefit your skin
After just one mask I felt so clean, so I am sure continued usage will be great!

What I wore ★

What I wore ★
When; 17/06/2011
Why; Nando's and Cinema trip!


I was rather casual! Many of you may not have seen me this casual haha
I haven't worn these items for a while really, shame as I adore my Dunks! ♥

Shoes; Nike Dunk
Jeggings; Wherever, I hate them lol
Shirt; H&M
T-shirt; Dorothy Perkins



Necklace; Vivienne Westwood
Ring; Vivienne Westwood
Watch; W♥C



Bag; Tokidoki x LeSportSac
(I got this in... 2007? When I went to New York!)



My need for a hair cut is becoming more of a necessity!!


Today I found out that there are only 4 Nando's in the USA?
There are literally TONS here in the UK (over 200), so I guess you might not know it
Well basically its all about Peri Peri chicken! Most people think it sounds boring
To be honest I was one of them, but my boyfriend took me there once
and now were 2 points off a whole chicken on our loyalty card hahaha ♥
If anyone from outside the UK happens to visit me, be sure that I will take you here
Our resturaunt is also one of the 50 that is Halal certified. The more you know!

The one in my town is opposite my work place, but I resist temptation on my lunch break
It also means we didn't have to walk far with our food babies to watch Green Lantern
A lot of reviews have been a little poor for it, but I thought it was good
It really set the stage for a great franchise
and if you need a more girly reason to see it... Ryan Reynolds ;D haha

W♥C GETS ↑↑

Some recent W♥C buys!


New release socks, I am such a sucker for their socks!!



3 of the new necklaces!
They are all on pretty long, thin chains
I wasn't going to bother with the cross but when I saw the Kumatan head, OMG haha
The other 2 are admittingly rather cheap looking, the pendandts are rather slim too



The studs bracelets were a new release and the beads was a re-release



New tank top!
It fits so well too, its really nice and flowy when on
Not to mention the material is SUPER soft!!
Pretty much in love with this and going to have its babies... yeah

Heres a close up of the print;




Web version of the Mook, same book but a different bag



Nylon Magazine with a W♥C freebie...

A pouch to match my bag!!
I think this will become a place to keep my lashes now, but we shall see!
(There was a store version to match the store Mook/Tote too)

Yay W♥C hehe
