Adios Google Reader... Bloglovin

Hey guys!
A few months ago there were news from Google that they would discontinue their "Reader" service starting on July 1st which is in just a few days. That means that you can't no longer follow your favorite blogs.

I don't know if it actually that includes the GFC button you see on the right side of my blog or not, but since everyone has been bananas about this I will be too...
R.I.P.
So if you guys want to keep following me, please follow me via Bloglovin here or pressing the pink button above the Google GFC on your right.


I have already transferred and done a cleaning on the blogs I follow. So I know I won't be missing my favorite bloggers :)

BeautyMate Bright Up Nano Eye Mask Review

Hey guys!
I always have dark circles, and it doesn't help that I have sinus. My under eye area is too sensitive which makes it difficult to find something that doesn't irritate my skin. In my opinion dark circle are the second worst thing to have on your face, right after acne.

While browsing on Sasa for face masks, I stumbled upon these eye masks from the Taiwanese brand "BeautyMate" 
So the main purpose of these masks is to improve circulation around your eye area, thus it reduces swelling and discoloration making your dark circles less noticeable. Sounds very good doesn't it?
They come individually sealed. Each box comes with 7 pairs.
 The back of the box, in case you want to read it.
Both masks come in this thin plastic, and the serum is milky white.
As you can see a lof of serum is wasted. Most of it just sits of the bottom of the package.
After around 20 minutes of wearing the mask here are the results.

Price ♥♥♥♥♡: On Sasa they are $7.7. Very reasonable for seven pairs, but I just don't like paying for so much serum that goes to waste.

Formula ♥♥♥♡♡: When I placed the mask under my eyes they started burning inmediately. The burning sensation lasted a while, but eventually went away. I was king of worried I would end up red underneath my eyes, but I all went well.

Overall ♥♥♥♥♡: I think it delivered good results, my dark circle don't look as purple as they did before I put on the mask. I think the masks are good for a quick fix. So, I would recommend to use them when you want to look more awake, and less tired.

Tony Moly Cherry Lip Tint Review

Hey Guys!
I was meaning to post this review much earlier, but better late than never.

The Tony Moly cherry lipstint is a liquid lip stain, very much like Benefit's Benetint. Here in America liquid lipstains are not as common as the ones that come in crayon form. Which is the opposite in Korea, because about every  makeup brand will have a liquid lipstain.

I read somewhere online that this product was used by Goo Hye Sun when she was in "Boys Over Flowers" so it became super  popular. Also since I've been seeing that ulzzang lip tutorial everywhere I decided to give it a go.

Price : ♥♥♥♥♥  I love the price because it doesn't break the bank. You can find on Ebay two of the round bottles, which are the samples size that I have for around $4 USD and even includes free shipping.

Packaging:  ♥♥♡♡♡ I dont't like the packaging that much, I have the round bottle and it leaks a little bit. So I have to be uber careful to close it really tight. I'm even scared of carrying it on my purse fearing it will stain my purse. The applicator is much like every lipgloss, it's a doe foot type of applicator which is great because it allows you to place the tint exactly where you want it.

Formula ♥♥♡♡♡ I was not impressed. I find that it is very pigmented and dries very fast, thus making it hard to blend. Also it leave stains on your fingers. I know I have not mastered the "ullzang lips" but I don't like how it looks on me, my lips look more dry than usual, I have to put on clear lipgloss to make it look normal. Clear gloss makes my lips look too red, and I don't like that.


Overall: ♥♥♥♡♡ I don't like it that much, and I just wouldn't purchase it again. I think it looks very weird on my lips once the lipgloss has worn off. Maybe I will try pink liptints.

Recent Hauls: Sasa, Victoria's Secret, Jeffrey Campbell

Hey guys!
I wanted to show you what I have purchased recently. I haven't purchased clothes nor any makeup in so long.

I bought bikinis from Victoria's Secret

I'm going on a vacation this summer, so I need bikinis. I have been buying little by little because VS swimwear is not that cheap, but they have the cutest bikinis and I love that you can mix and match them with almost anything in their collection. I'm still waiting for 2 more tops and one more bottom though.

From Sasa I bought a lot of masks
Probably enough stock for an entire year. The masks are from Innisfree, My Beauty Diary, Face Q, Beauty Mate, and Love More.

Lastly I got my first pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes

These are called "Delphia" I had been looking for a very simple shoe with ankle straps, and I'm so glad I found these because they are super comfortable.

That's it for today
