Hello, dreamers! In this post I will be reviewing the EOS Bubble Violet Circle Lenses from Lensvillage.com. You can use my coupon code 15LILIN to get 15% OFF at their store! 

Anyway, just like the Starry Eye Violet Lenses I reviewed last time, these are a pair of lenses that I've been wanting to try for a very long time. I'm so happy that I finally got my hands on them and I'm excited to share this review with you. 

DESIGN & COLOR

These lenses have a very simple but pretty design. It's basically just a plain circle of color that is slightly more sheer towards the centre which makes them blend in well with the natural iris. The color is a very vibrant and true purple. They give your eyes a beautiful pop of color.

ENLARGEMENT & COMFORT

These lenses have a nice enlarging effect. However, because there is no limbal ring, the enlarging effect isn't as obvious as it is with lenses who have a limbal ring. They are also quite comfortable! I can't feel any discomfort at all during the time I wear them, which is usually for about 2-3 hours. Circle Lenses are supposed to be worn for about 4-6 hours at most, so it's normal if you start feeling some discomfort after a while.

OVERALL
I reviewed the EOS Bubble Grey Lenses in the past which I think gives the eyes a very vampy and sultry look. These lenses on the other hand give you more of a dreamy and mysterious look. The point of these lenses is to bring a bright pop of color to your eyes which I think they definitely do. I love that they make my eyes look like there's one additional color around my natural eye color. They are a bit too much for me to wear out as 'everyday' lenses, but I would definitely wear these on a night out. They look especially beautiful in photos and would be perfect for cosplays.

You can get your own pair of EOS Bubble Violet or any other pair of lovely lenses they have at Lensvillage.com. You can use my discount code 15LILIN for 15% OFF on your order!

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas ♡

Hello, Dreamers! I want to wish all of you Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas!

Christmas is a very important holiday for me and my Family and many other people around the globe, but it is unfortunately not widely celebrated here in S.Korea. In any case, I am still doing the best I can to celebrate Christmas properly this year.

I got myself a little Christmas tree (see picture to the right) which is something I didn't have these past few Christmases for some reason. I am so happy that I was able to get my hands on a white tree and purple & black ornaments which is something I really wanted for my Christmas tree.

All month I've watched tons of Christmas movies, my favourite being Nightmare Before Christmas and How The Grinch Stole Christmas. What's your favourite Christmas movie?

I've also been blasting all of my favourite Christmas songs while baking and crafting which really lifted my Christmas spirit.

And as I am writing this, I am about to go out to check out some Christmas markets and events. I still have a long day ahead of me!

I am so excited about Christmas and I will probably celebrate it well into the next year. I bet a lot of you feel the same way.

Thank you so much for reading. Again, I am wishing you Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas! I'll talk to you next time~

A Witch's Wishlist 🌙

Hello, moonlight dreamers!
Christmas is just around the corner and I'm so excited! I would usually go back to Sweden to celebrate Christmas with my family around this time of the year, but the past couple of years I haven't been able to do so and it looks like it's going to be the same this year. Here in Korea, Christmas isn't really widely celebrated with Family as it is in Sweden. But somehow, I'm still very excited because ever since I moved into a new and bigger apartment, I really want to decorate it nicely and celebrate Christmas my own way. How are you going to celebrate Christmas this year?

I usually don't have many items on my Wish List for Christmas but this year there are actually a lot of things I would like to have, wether it be my family and friends getting it for me as a christmas gift or just getting it for myself in the near future. Anyway, I just thought it would be fun to share some stuff I've had my eyes on for a while now. Let's take a look~

Alien by Thierry Mugler
Daisy Dream Twinkle by Marc Jacobs
Ari by Ariana Grande

I just can't get enough of perfumes! Alien is my favourite perfume of all time and is the only things on this list that I wish for every single year. I also really love Moonlight by Ariana Grande and would love to have her other perfume, "Ari" as well. In addition, I had a chance to get a whiff of Daisy Dream Twinkle by Marc Jacobs at an Airport and I absolutely loved it.

Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil
Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation in 130
Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

Who doesn't love makeup? I have so much makeup and already have some all-time favourites. On top of that I am also very picky, so I usually don't find many other makeup products to my liking. However, this year I found some items that I would love to get my hands on. The Diamond Bomb is the most beautiful highlighter I have ever tried, and I would love to have one myself. I also haven't found the perfect foundation for me yet, and after hearing many good things about Fenty Beauty Foundation, I really want to give it a try. I also heard so many good things about the UD Setting Spray, so I'm hoping it will become my to-go Setting Spray.

Glamglow Supermud
Glamglow Gravitymud
Glamglow Youtmud

I love face masks! I use them all the time and love to try new ones. I've always wanted to try the Glamglow masks, especially Supermud, Gravitymud and Youthmud. They have received so much praise and they just look so luxurious to me.

Work Your Light Oracle Cards
The Ultimate Guide to Tarot Card Meanings
Crystals, Quartz, Fluorites, Geodes etc.

I've dabbled a lot in Tarot cards and readings lately. I would love The Ultimate Guide to Tarot Card Meanings to further expand my knowledge in Tarot Cards and their meanings. I have a beautiful deck already, but for some reason I can't really connect with it and I haven't found another deck that I like yet. However, I found some the beautiful "Work Your Light Oracle cards and would like to try those next. I do have a couple of crystal wands and an amethyst crystal sphere already, but I really want to expand my collection and get all sorts of variations of crystals.

A Witch's Bible
Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft
Moonology Oracle Cards
Moonology: Working with the Magic of Lunar Cycles

This year I discovered Modern Witchcraft which is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I always had a deep connection with nature and other things related to Witchcraft, but it never really struck my mind that there are ways to practice it, so to speak. I read a lot about it online, but learning through reading physical books is just so much more enjoyable and meaningful to me. I always loved for the moon and stars which, for me, go hand in hand with Witchcraft and Readings. I would love to have the Moonology Oracle Card Deck and also study the Lunar Cycles.

That's all I have on my Wishlist this year. What's on your Wish List this year? Tell me about it in the comments!

See you next time, moonlight dreamers ☾

[Review] DollyEye Starry Eye Violet

Hello, dreamers! In this post I'll be reviewing the DollyEye Starry Eye Violet Circle Lenses. I tried the DollyEye Starry Eye Grey Lenses a long time ago and I've always wanted to try the them in Violet too ever since then, so I'm really excited that I finally got my hands on these and can share this review with you. This is also the first time I've gotten a pair of lenses from Lensvillage.com, so I was also very excited to try out their service. Let's take a closer look!

Before I talk about these lenses, I'm going to do a quick overview of Lensvillage.com, because it's my first time trying a pair of lenses from their store. First of all, they have a big variety of beautiful lenses at affordable prices. In addition to that, they have great sales! They currently have a 30% on their Influencer Collection. The package with my lens(es) arrived quickly and It was carefully packaged so it doesn't get damaged during delivery. 

They also have an awesome Reward Program! Basically, for every order you place, you get 15% of the purchase value back, which you can later use in their shop. I haven't heard about any other shop with a reward program like this, so It's pretty awesome! 

Anyway, let's take a closer look at the Starry Eye Violet Lenses!

Colour & Design

The colour of these lenses is absolutely beautiful - it's a deep and brilliant purple. The colour is very vibrant and opaque and will definitely show up quite well on any eye colour. They are slightly darker around the edges and have these transparent "speckles" here and there where the natural eye colour shows through a little bit. The inner part is a bit blunt but it still blends in with my natural eye colour quite well.

Enlargement & Comfort
These lenses are 14.8mm so the enlarging effect is huge which is something I really like. Despite being so large, they are very comfortable. My eyes have been extra sensitive for the past year for some reason, which can make it uncomfortable for me to wear lenses, but when I wear these lenses I don't experience any discomfort at all.

Overall
I really love the "Starry" design of these lenses because I think it gives my eyes this dreamy look that I really like. The color is a bit too strong and dark for me to wear as everyday lenses, but they are perfect for photos, cosplay, or when I just want to feel a bit extra on a night out.

What do you think of the DollyEye Starry Eye Violet? Would you wear them?

In my next post, I will do a review of the EOS Bubble Violet Lenses, which are also a pair of lenses I've always wanted to try. I did a review on the EOS Bubble Grey in the past, so in the meantime you can check that one out.

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed this review. I'll talk to you again soon, dreamers ☾

The perfect winter boots ♡

Hello, dreamers! I went to Sweden a couple of months ago and while I was there I found the cutest boots ever at the local mall. It was actually my sis who first saw them and told me that she found a pair of boots that she thought I would love. Well, she was dang right. I loved them as soon as I saw them and just had to have them. I also got myself a pair of beautiful (imitation) Suede High Heeled Boots which I'll show you next time. The store I bought them from have a website, but unfortunately it seems like they don't have worldwide shipping. 

 Anyway! I love boots in winter but I only ever had black boots before, so it's really nice to finally have a pair of boots in my favourite colour ever. Oh, and a quick tip! A thing that I always used to forget was to coat my shoes with coating spray. However, I've started coating all of my shoes from time to time these days. This will really protect your shoes from liquid and dirt, and this is especially important for Suede (imitation or not) shoes because they are harder to clean compared to sneakers or other kinds of shoes.

What shoes do you wear in winter? I would love to hear about it in the comments!

Make sure to keep your feet nice and warm this winter. I'll talk to you later, dreamers!

[Review] PrincessPinky Eurasia Khaki Green

Hello, dreamers! I'm back with another Circle Lens Review! The lenses I'm going to be reviewing in this post are the PrincessPinky Eurasia Khaki Green from PinkyParadise.com. These lenses are part of the Eurasia series which is one of their newest arrivals. They come in 5 different, beautiful colors, including the Khaki Green which caught my attention the most out of the 5 colors so I was really excited to try them out. Let's take a closer look!

What's Included
As usual with Pinkyparadise, everything was carefully packed and wrapped in bubble wrap. The package included 1 Pair of lenses, an Animal Lens Case, Stickers, Under-Eye Patches, Temporary Tattoos, a BB Cushion Puff & a hair thingy to keep hold your hair in place.

Color & Design
The Eurasia Khaki Green lenses are a light yellowish green color with a mossy green limbal ring. The color is opaque and bright while at the same time blending in very well with my iris which makes them look natural. The design is quite similar to the PrincessPinky Cloudy lenses in the way that the Eurasia Khaki Green lenses also have this kind of 'cloudy' look to them which makes them look very natural when worn despite the intense color of the lenses.

Enlargement & Comfort
These lenses are only 14.0mm so there's not much enlargement going on here which is something I usually don't like, but the way the color of these lenses make my eyes stand out make up for the lack of enlargement. They are quite comfortable and I haven't encountered any kind of problems when wearing them. My eyes do get a bit tired after wearing them all day, but this is completely normal when it comes to almost all coloured contact lenses because you're not supposed to wear them for more than 4-6 hours at a time.

Overall
The PrincessPinky Cloudy lenses are still my favourite lenses, but I am very fond of these as well. I brought the Eurasia Khaki lenses with me and wore them almost every day when I went to Abu Dhabi for vacation. I got so many looks and compliments on my eyes from both my family and from strangers, which is something that hasn't really happened when I've worn my other lenses. They really make your eyes look very intense and bright but at the same time it looks like it's my real eye color, which is why I think that so many people reacted so positively to them. They really make my eyes stand out in the best way possible.

The only minor con to me is that these lenses are monthly lenses. I have so many lenses and I actually don't get to wear them that often because I usually wear glasses. This is why I much prefer yearly lenses over monthly lenses because the yearly lenses last longer which gives me more opportunities to actually wear them. But in any case, I'll try to get the most out of these lenses while I can because they are simply stunning. What do you think about Eurasia Khaki Green lenses? Would you wear them? Let me know in the comments!

As I mentioned at the beginning fo this post, these gorgeous lenses are from PinkyParadise.com. Click here to get your own pair of Eurasia Khaki Green, or any other pair of their huge variety of beautiful lenses, now!

That's it for now, everyone. Thank you so much for reading and bye for now, dreamers!

Kaonashi Makeup 🖤 가오나시 메이크업 🖤 カオナシ メイク

Hello, dreamers! Halloween came and went so fast this year. I was a little late to film a makeup look in time for Halloween, but I still wanted to film a makeup look and share it with you, so here it is! “Kaonashi” from Spirited Away is one of my favourite characters ever which is what made me create this look. I hope you enjoy!



What was you costume for Halloween this year? I would love you to tell me about it in the comments!

Thank you for tuning in. See you next time, dreamers ~

🖤 Happy Halloween 🖤

Hello, dreamers! I know I'm a bit late but I just want to wish you all a Happy Halloween!

Halloween was a huge part of my childhood back in Sweden. Everyone in my neighbourhood would decorate their house and dress up to go Trick or Treating around the neighbourhood.

However, Halloween isn't really a widely celebrated Holiday here in S. Korea, so unfortunately it was a bit underwhelming for me this year as well. I would've loved to spook out some kids and hand out some candy this year. But, I settled for dressing up and going out with my friends over the weekend. I tried a lot of different looks and the one in the picture to the right is one of them. Can you guess which character I was inspired by?

Anyway, I went to Hongdae on Friday and only like 10% (which were mostly club workers) were dressed up for Halloween. I ended up still having a really good time with my friends tho. On Saturday I went to Itaewon and everything was completely covered in Halloween decorations and it was packed with people (although too many for my liking) and literally everyone was dressed up to the max. It was so much fun to look at all the amazing costumes and we ended up going to some quiet bars to hang out because most places were completely packed. I had a very pleasant time.

So, except for the parties at clubs and bars in popular areas, there's really not much going on here during Halloween. My neighbourhood looked just as it always does, there's no "trick or treating" going on, and it's just not celebrated at home at all. But overall it was a pretty good Halloween. It was a huge motivator for me to wear some makeup looks that I wouldn't dare to wear on normal occasions.  How was your Halloween? Is it widely celebrated where you come from? I would love to hear about it in the comments!

Stay spooky and drink more water, dreamers. See you again soon!

[Review] TTDEYE Magic Blue (On Green Eyes)

Hello, dreamers! In this post I will be reviewing the Magic Blue Coloured Contact Lenses from ttdeye.com. I loved the Princess Pinky Eclipse Lenses in Violet and Green that I tried quite a while ago, and since these looked very similar I just had to try them out. This is the first time I'm trying a pair of lenses from ttdeye, so I'm really excited to share this review with you. Let's take a closer look!

The first thing I noticed when I received my package from ttdeye, which arrived very quickly, was the cute and sturdy box they sent me.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it not only contained the lenses I was expecting, but they had also sent me some cute little gifts.


The contents of the box are Instructions, a Hand Mirror, Temporary Tattoos, a Hair Pin, Glitter, a Squeaky Toy(?), a Lens Case, and the lenses themselves. The fact that they sent instructions is really nice as it's a guide for first-time users and also a reminder for long-time users.

I'm really happy with the lens case I got with my package because it just makes it so much teacher to pick up my lenses with the included tools, instead of using my hands which can transfer bacteria.


The box that the lenses themselves come in is absolutely gorgeous. I love the design and the holographic look.

As you can see, the lenses are a beautiful blue color with a black limbal ring and some black speckles in the center. Please keep in mind that you should leave the lenses in your own contact solution for about a day before using them. 

Time for Close-ups!

The vibrant blue color and black outer ring gives the impression of dolly eyes. They don't blend in very well with my natural eye colour which further contributes to that unnatural and dolly look. 

And at last but not least, here's a selfie of me wearing the Magic Blue Coloured Contact Lenses.

Overall, I think these lenses are very pretty. Personally, I won't use them when I go out because they look too unnatural for my taste. I think these lenses will look gorgeous on naturally dark brown or black eyes, which gives the impression of big, dolly pupils. However, they are amazing for photos and cosplay no matter what natural eye color you have. And of course, if you're into the extremely dolly look for your everyday wear, just go ahead and use them as your everyday lenses as they are very comfortable. 

These lenses were sponsored by ttdeye.com

Thank you so much for checking out this post. I hope you enjoyed it! Please let me know what you think of these lenses in the comments. Do you like the extreme dolly look or do you prefer more natural lenses? I'm really curious about your opinion. See you next time, dreamers!

☾ Black & Lavender Outfit

Hello, dreamers! For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you might have already seen these outfit pictures that I posted a while ago. Anyway, I really wanted to post them here on my blog too. Let's take a look!

First off, I really wanted to take a new portrait picture that I can use as a profile picture and so on. This is the picture I ended up with! A lot of people on Instagram actually thought that Haku was a backpack. Poor baby! Haha~ Some people also told me that this picture reminded them of Wednesday Addams. I didn't have this in mind when I took the pictures but when it was mentioned I can definitely see why they would think so. In any case It's an huge compliment because I think Wednesday is awesome!

This is one of my favourite outfits! I found this beautiful blouse and the shorts at Dongdaemun Market here in Seoul. I've never bought anything at Dongdaemun for myself before because I usually can't find anything that suits my taste. However, I fell in love with the shorts, and the blouse especially, as soon as I saw them. I'm also wearing my super cute little doggy handbag which a friend of mine gave me when she came back to Korea after traveling. It's so adorable and I like it a lot. It's too bad that I can't use it that much because my phone, which I usually always bring with me, doesn't fit inside the bag. It's a real shame.

I also wanted to take a picture to show off my new shoes that I got in Tokyo. I've never really thought about trying to include my dogs in my photos because I thought it would be difficult to make them stay still, but while I was taking photos, Haku conveniently came and sat down next to me. I guess he didn't like the fact that I was focusing on something other than giving him attention. Haha~ Haku is mostly black so you actually couldn't see his face in the picture at all, so I put this cute little 'Kaonashi' face where his face was supposed to be. This is how it turned out! Haku is named after a character which also is in Spirited away, so I thought that was a bit of fun~

One more thing! I usually take my outfit pictures with my phone because it's a lot easier; They look good on my phone and on Instagram, but they always end up a bit grainy when I upload them on my blog where the pictures are obviously a lot bigger. So, I apologise for the bad quality. I hope you don't mind.

Anyway, I really like this outfit and I'm pretty happy with how the pictures turned out. What do you think of this outfit? Let me know in the comments!

Thank you for reading and bye for now, dreamers~

[Review] Peripera Dal Dal Factory Airy Ink Cushion #1 Ivory [리뷰] 페리페라 달달공장 에어리 잉크 쿠션 #1 아이보리

Hello, dreamers! In this post I'll be reviewing the Peripera Dal Dal Factory Airy Ink Cushion in #1 Ivory. Peripera is a korean Cosmetics brand, but I got my cushion at a cosmetics store in Shibuya, Tokyo. The Peripera stores are all over Seoul and you can also get this cushion online. I'll keep it short and sweet and let the pictures do most of the talking. You can also check out my video review at the bottom of this post! So anyway, let's take a closer look!

The reason why I got this in the first place is obviously because it's ridiculously adorable. I have a favourite foundation which I've used for a couple of years, so I never really felt the need to get any other foundation or BB cream, but I just had to have this as soon as I saw it. 

Like I said, Peripera is a Korean Makeup brand, but as you can see everything written on the packaging is in Japanese. Which means I have no idea what it says, haha.

I got this BB cushion in #1 Ivory. This BB Cushion comes in 3 different shades - #1 Ivory, #2 Beige and #3 Sand.

The case itself is a baby blue color. The lid contains these adorable sprinkles in blue, pink, purple and white. The background is light pink with sparkly little stars.

     

The inside is also a baby blue, and the backside of the cushion is a light pink.

Like most BB cushions, the BB cream looks quite dark at first glance, but it turns out a lot brighter when applied on the skin.

Here's a swatch on the back of my hand. My hands and fingers always look ridiculously red on camera although they are far from it, so the shade of the BB cream looks like it wouldn't match at all.

Check out my video below where you can see what my face looks like before and after I apply the BB Cushion! 

OVERALL OPINION

Like I mentioned earlier, I already have a favourite foundation called Double Lasting Foundation (in Ivory) from Etude House, so I didn't expect too much from this BB Cream when I first bought it - I literally only got it because it was cute. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this BB Cushion has amazing coverage, it doesn't get blotchy and cakey even in the hot weather we're having right now and it also has this every so slightly dewy finish which I really love. I got a bit of a tan over summer so I actually could've gone for one of the darker shades, but although this BB cream looks quite white on my skin when I frist apply it, it does blend in very well with my skin tone after a little while. It basically does all the things my favourite foundation does, so overall, I'm extremely happy with it. 

Let me know what you think in the comments! Thank you so much for reading. Bye for now, dreamers!

[Review] Secret Change Hair Color Cream in Mystic Grey - 시크릿 체인지 헤어 컬러크림 미스틱그레이

Hello, dreamers! In this post I'm going to review the Secret Change Hair Color Cream in Mystic Grey. I've previously tried this brand's Hair Bleach and Hair Color in Ash Purple. I love grey and silver hair so when I saw this hair color I just had to try it out. Let's take a closer look!

So, first of all I got this hair dye at Olive Young here in Seoul for only a few dollars per box (around 3000-4000KRW each), which is super cheap. However, they don't contain a lot of dye so make sure to get enough boxes if you decide to try out this hair dye. 

I have a problem with my hair turning too blue/green than I would like when I attempt to dye my hair grey or silver, so the fact that this hair color looks to be on the pink/purple side made me hopeful of achieving the shade of grey I desired. 

One box of hair dye contains 2 packs of hair cream and 2 packs of developer, as shown in the picture above. I used 2 boxes (8 packs in total) to dye my hair. This was exactly enough to cover all of my hair, which is pretty thin & short. 

Here comes the before and after. As you can see, the color turned into a really pretty grey all over my hair except on my roots where I hadn't previously bleached it. 

       

Check out the video below to see the dying process.



Overall, I really like this hair color. It's more of a temporary dye rather than a permanent dye. The dye lasts for a couple of washes before turning into a lighter silver color. As I mentioned before, my hair easily picks up blue and green shades while having a hard time to hold onto warm tones; the tones that I want basically just run right off of my hair. However, the color turns out really pretty right after dyeing it. It's basically my ideal shade of grey for hair. Even though it faded quickly for me, I've managed to keep it a pretty nice silver color with pink & purple toners. I really recommend this hair color if you're just looking for a temporary change or if you want a good starting point to get grey/silver hair.

Thank you so much for reading! Bye for now, dreamers~
