KoreaBigEyes.com Complete Review & Haul

So I'm very excited to announce to you all that the package that I was telling you about (well one of them) had arrived yesterday.. and i was SOO excited.

I don't know if you all remember my previous post "You Look like a Doll!".. was the first time i used/told anyone about the Circle Lenses..

So I had originally purchased the Big Brown DM23 & Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in Green from KoreaBigEyes.com .. They later asked me to do a video review for their company, and that they would send me a free pair. I chose the Hypersize Gray.. and loved the Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in Blue, I asked them to add it (I payed for that one).

So i'm going to be doing a review and haul on ALL of the lenses that I Own (all from KoreaBigEyes.com)..

But Firstly here are pictures of the package etc:



The package itself





The Contents of the package





The Free Contact Lens cases each purchase comes with






The Well Packaged Hypersize Gray Contact Lenses












The package that the Neo 4 Tone (Blue) Come in (it comes in a box, but i removed these from the box)



Then a real quick way to open your Circle Lens bottles (i know i was confused at first lol) so hope this helps, I recorded it really quickly - so please bare with me haha!



Here is the Review/Haul on the Lenses..





So here are some pictures:
Big Brown DM23



Color: 4/5
Enlargement: 5/5
Comfort: 3/5
Overall Rating: 3/5
Overall, these are great to enlarge the eye, without having a really bright color, it is very drying (for me) so the use of rewetting drops was a MUST for these lenses. But otherwise - it gives a great dolly-eyed look! and will probably use these on special occasions!

Hypersize Gray (My free pair i picked out)
(sorry i look like crap - this was the end of the day and all my make-up had worn off)

Both Eyes - NO flash (lol i look cross-eyed!)



No Flash - side view



With Flash


Color: 4/5
Enlargement: 5/5
Comfort: 5/5
Overall Rating: 5/5
Overall I love this pair, and these are one of my favorites thus far. It made my iris' large! and I loved the dolly effect. What i didn't like was, in flash or in bright areas, the color looks more blue than gray (to me at least), but that doesn't post a problem. It's one of the more natural colors, like barely wearing anything - and i like that for everyday use. This was pair was MUCH more comfortable than the above mentioned, so i'd probably wear this everyday!

Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in GREEN
(sorry i have barely any make-up on and it really does make a difference! ew!) but just to give you a general idea)

With Flash




Both No Flash


Color: 5/5
Enlargement: 4/5
Comfort: 5/5
Overall Rating: 4/5
Overall, These are super bright greenish colored, it looks like a very natural vivid green (if that makes any sense loL).. I know in my video i said it didn't make your iris size bigger, but in pictures and after wearing it and looking at the video, it does, but slightly.. I guess it's because it's a lighter color than the other two, so you can't see the difference as well. But these are very comfortable.. These are very brightly colored, so i'll wear them for special occasions.


Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in BLUE





Color: 5/5
Enlargement: 4/5
Comfort: 5/5
Overall Rating: 4/5
Overall this is my second favorite pair of circle lenses that I own.. Just like the Green ones, it's very bright and it's super exotic and something i'd wear to go out, or maybe everyday depending on what i wanna look like, but it's super comfortable, and really cute in person/pictures! i don't look like such a brown-eyed babe with these on! I Love them!

So overall my experience with http://www.koreabigeyes.com/ has been an absolute pleasure!
Lovely service...Extremely awesome prices...Protective packaging...Fast Shipping (TOOK 5 DAYS!!) (Depending on location but promises it will arrive within 2 weeks)

So if you like what you see, and now you know my secret! please tell them Khristine or RandomnesswithKhris sent you! :)

Thanks and I hope the video was helpful! :)

Hey Everyone! So the other day, i was still looking for My NYX Jumpbo eyeshadow pencil in Milk.. and so I decided to go to this one store in my neighborhood to check it out.. of course when i get there, they didn't have the product i wanted.. but i managed to not go home empty-handed..

So here are some pictures of what I left home with:



Swatches of the Horse Raddish & Strawberry Milk




Horse Raddish & Strawberry Milk up close




Horse Raddish & Strawberry Milk




The two Trio eyeshadow palette's i got ;)




More Eyeshadows (i'll post the names as i forgot to jot them down lol)




Nail polish I thought was SO cute from NYX.. have yet to try it on though..




Stopped by Sally Beauty Supply, and got these two as well ;)

So I didn't leave that unhappy lol.. What I did do, was just order the rest of what i was wanting on CherryCulture.com I'm pretty excited as it should be coming real soon! i'll post that up soon!

It's almost Valentine's day.. what make-up looks are you going to do? I'm not quite sure yet, as i've been busy with my little ones ;) haven't been able to actually sit and find out what Hubby and I are gonna do anyway..

But anywho.. just thought i'd share my FOTN yesterday and a sweet picture of my girls and i :)

Laneige & Ulta Haul

So I was feeling real terrible yesterday.. So From morning until about 6PM I stayed in bed all day.. The medicine I was taking made me feel a bit better, that I was able to do some shopping! (i don't think anything can keep me from shoppin' lol)..

So I went over to the Amore Pacific store (it took over 30 minutes to get there just because of the darn traffic ughh - my stomach was NOT so happy about that lol).. I did bring my oldest daughter Khristianna with me, because she loves goin with Mommy!

when I got to the store, I was greeted by the only person working there at the time. She was a very polite woman, her skin was amazing! (that was the first thing i noticed)..

I of course a NEWB at this stuff, told her my issues, what i was looking for and what she honestly recommended.. She recommended I start off with the basic box set which i got, then I also purchased the strawberry yogurt pack and the strawberry yogurt peeling gel.. then she gave me tons of free samples and of course explained them all to me and their regimen they do for the products (which i was soo excited - totally forgot everything haha).. but I tried it out last night and loved all the products! not harsh on my skin, i did feel like a cool sensation on my skin doing the regimen.. i'm just looking forward to what amazing things it'll do to my skin (so i've heard it'll do)..

so here are some pictures of what i bought at the store and then some of the samples..



the makeup remover facial cleanser


Day/Night Eye cream (has a side for day and side for night :))


Just the samples of the above mentioned


The Set that I got.. pretty neato :)


The strawberry yogurt peeling gel and pack


the samples i got (chocolate soap, a gift bag with goodies, facial masks)

So i'll post some before and after pictures.. but i'll give it some time to work it's magic before i report anything.. I must say - it's going to take a long time for me to get used to doing this 4-5 step regimen than my short wash face and moisturize and get on with my day lol..

But i'm willing to try it out.. i'm sick of my skin feeling so dull and blah!

On to the next place :) .. I went to Ulta because i just wanted to get some things that i've been wanting for awhile now lol.. but of course when I went there - they sold out.. so now i have to go somewhere else - will probably do that later today..

but i purchased a new Shu uemura eyelash curler, because i've been using the same damn one for like 2 years LOL.. i originally bought it at the sephora store at the northridge mall, but when i went to go back to "finally" get a new one.. they told me they didn't sell it in the stores anymore.. i was like whaaaaat? lol.. and when i saw this at Ulta, i was like i HAVE to get it lol.. I also wanted to get NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk, but they didn't have it.. but i got a white eye liner instead (also from NYX) .. and two lipsticks from NYX that i thought were quite interesting in color... Here are some pictures :)



NYX Eyeshadow Trio i decided to try out


Swatches of the colors.. it came out okay.. didn't use that much too


The NYX jumbo eye pencil i did get in baby blue


the white eye pencil i told you all about ;)


What they look like on my skin


My New eyelash curler yay!


The Lipsticks I got


Sorry it's sideways lol


I think this is Narcissus


Tea Rose


I'm gonna be doing some looks with the trio and see how i like it ;) i'm excited.. just gotta find time to do it all lol..

I also want to try out the Konad Nail stamping system that I heard about.. :) maybe next payday! I'm also going to go back to the Amore Pacific store for some more beauty products and perhaps a powder ;)

:) YAY! I'll update this post or post a new one on my FOTD.. or perhaps FOTN ;) have a great Tuesday everyone!

Mini Make-up Haul.. ;) yippy!

Hello hello Everyone!

I wanted to do a mini-haul on what i had said i purchased yesterday! got so caught up with everything at home, barely had time to record my tutorial and edit it!

(it's currently uploading in HD right now - dannng it's gonna take an hour! - sadly i gotta sleeeep cause i've got work in the AM)

anywho! while it's recording.. i'll tell you about what i got..

I went to Sephora,

and had purchased the Make Up For Ever HD foundation (in 120) and the Powder as well to accompany it ;) .. and I tried it on for the first time for my tutorial.. and it's okay ;) goes on smoothly and everything.. the real test will be how long it'll last me during my busy work day!

This is what it looks like (the boxes anyway)

yes i finally became a Sephora "Beauty insider" lol




but it didn't feel icky to my skin or anything when i was putting the foundation on.. nor the powder.. didn't feel thick or weird or anything.. and for me - i didn't smell anything..

prior to using the MUFE HD foundation and powder.. i was using Stila's powder (forget the name exactly).. and it did go on and was full coverage on me.. but by the end of the day my nose was shinier than a light bulb LOL.. that and it had a weird smell to it.. i don't know how to explain it - it was a sweet powdery, chocolate not but quite smell to it lol.. it wasn't that pleasant though.. since it was going on my face and gonna be there all day..

so i'll be testing out the MUFE foundation/powder and report to you all in a week or two and let you all know how i really like it....

After that - I went to MAC to purchase a few lipstick/lipglass' that i wanted.. (a few were - i had found from xppinkx's blog (which looks amazing on her - me, not so much LOL)..



I had this before - think i Lost it.. and haven't repurchased it til now (it's been like 4-5 years LOL)

Hug Me



Equality



Myself



Lipglass (Feeling Dreamy)



So i wasn't so happy with Equality and Myself... they didn't look right on me.. or maybe i'm just not using to wearing lipstick..

But my absolute favorite thus far is Feeling Dreamy.. LOVE it! :) goes with complexion quite well, as well as i think i'd use it everyday!

I also love "Hug Me".. cause it's a nudy-with a hint of peachy-pink kinda color.. my type definitely! I guess cause it's the closest to my natural lip color.. and i just like it period!

"Equality" made me feel like i had no lips LOL cause it blended with my skin color LOL! yikes! maybe if i do a different eyeshadow/look it'll look better.. who knows.. but also it just didn't mesh well with my lips.. (maybe that and my lips are just super dry ugh!)

"Myself" was pretty much the same except a little more color to it.. like a peachy/beige tinge to it.. it was "alright".. don't know if i'd wear it a lot.. maybe occasionally or if i'm feelin sassy and wanna try something different.. or of course just be random LOL..

"Feeling Dreamy" - I guess you can say, i'm more of a lipgloss/chapstick kinda girl.. so i really liked this one.. it's a natural/nudy color.. and just glossy! i love that! My lips are real dry in the pictures, so it doesn't really do it justice... but i absolutely love it! I definitely would use this everyday as a quicky if im not using makeup/heavy eyeshadow etc.. pair it with some hot lashes/blush and light eyeliner and it would be beeeaaauuttiiffull lol!

I'm really excited about all the make-up i bought.. we'll see how it goes the next week or so and how i decide to use them and utilize them with my scrubs LOL..


Also, I finally got my eyelashes that I had ordered from ebay (click Here to purchase)! Well I got them 18 Days exactly after I had purchased them!

Here are some pictures of what they look like:



very neatly bubble-wrapped


the purchase was for 10 pairs!


criss-cross pattern



me being silly (had just done my tutorial


each pack comes with a tiny little individual gluestick/bottle thing, which i didn't even bother using because when i opened it, it didn't seem like anything was in it.. so i just used my own eyelash glue i had used with all my other fake eyelashes..

the eyelashes itself were nice, I just have to play around with them a bit more, only because they were really hard to conform/shape to my eye.. it felt like they were stick straight lol.. but overall, they look great on! So i'm happy i've now got 10 pairs to play around with!

alrighty everyone - i think that's it for now! going wait for my tutorial to finish uploading and share it with you all in the morning! TOODLES!
