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

Tuesday, August 14, 2018

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.

[Review] PrincessPinky Cloudy Violet (on Green Eyes)

Tuesday, August 7, 2018

Hello, dreamers! I'm back with another Circle Lenses review and I'm so excited because this time I'm doing a review of the Princess Pinky Cloudy Violet from Pinkyparadise. Ive done review on the ones in Green and Blue too and I loved both of them a lot. Let's take a closer look at these ones in purple!



DESIGN & COLOR
The design is soft and cloudy, as the name suggests, and blends in perfectly with the natural eye color even though it's a completely different color. The color is a beautiful purple, which is soft but still clearly purple, with a slightly darker purple ring outlining the lens. However, I actually wish that the color was a bit lighter; they are somewhat dark in my opinion, especially compared to the Cloudy Blue lenses.

ENLARGEMENT & COMFORT
These lenses are 14.5mm and give me just the right amount of enlargement. They are not too big or too small. They are very comfortable and do not strain my eyes in any way, which makes them perfect for everyday wear.




As you can see, the lenses look very vibrant in the close-up pictures when they are in fact a bit more subtle in color, so take a look at my selca below for a better example of what they actually look like in real life.

I take my selfies with my iPhone instead of my Camera so there's a big difference in quality. I don't know if others notice this but it's quite annoying to me which is why I had to mention it. Unfortunately, I can't help it because I just can't figure out a convenient way to take selfies with my Camera.

OVERALL
The design and colors are what make this series of lenses my favourite of all time. They blend in with the natural eye so well and the colors are soft and beautiful. The enlarging effect is just right too. I honestly can't choose a favourite pair out of the colors I've tried so far because they are all amazing in their own way. I really can't wait to try out some other colors in the future.

I apologise for the short review this time around. I've already reviewed these lenses in two other colors before, so in this post I focused a bit more on talking about the color of the lenses and just let the pictures speak for themselves. If you would like to know a little bit more about my opinion, feel free check out my reviews of the Princess Pinky Cloudy Green and Cloudy Blue too, which are a bit more detailed in the writing.

In any case, these lenses were kindly sponsored by PinkyParadise, so if you like these lenses, make sure to get your get yours here or browse their website for many other beautiful lenses.

[Review] Vassen Rainbow Eyes Light Greenish (On Green Eyes)

Sunday, May 13, 2018

Hi, dreamers! ♡  Lovehsoppingholics kindly sent me some lenses from the Vassen Rainbow Eyes Series in Light Greenish, Greenish Blue, Grayish Blue and Brownish Hazel and I'll be reviewing all of them in my upcoming posts. In this post I'm going to review the Vassen Rainbow Eyes in Light Greenish, so let's get straight to it!

COLOR & DESIGN
These lenses are a beautiful mix of pinkish purple and blue with a small hint of a greenish yellow - It's a very pretty and unique color combination. The color is very vibrant and opaque and show up well on the eyes, but the inner edge is quite sharp and doesn't blend in well with the natural eye color. This is something I usually don't like in a pair of lenses, but in this case It's quite nice because it helps the colors to stand out more. 



ENLARGEMENT & COMFORT
At 14.5mm, these aren't the biggest lenses I've tried, but the enlarging effect is one of the best I've seen. They look huge which is something I personally like a lot. I was a bit worried about the comfort because they look and feel thick and heavy at first glance, but after trying them out and letting my eyes get used to them for a few minutes, I couldn't even feel that I was wearing them at all.

OVERALL
I honestly wasn't sure what I thought about these lenses at first because of the strong design and unique colors, but after trying them on I actually grew quite fond of them. The colors are very pretty both in pictures and in person. The small hint of greenish yellow also compliments my natural eye color really nicely. I think these lenses will suit any eye color because they're so opaque and the colors will show up well even on dark eyes. They are probably best suited for those who want a dramatic and unique look.

At last but not least, here's a selfie! It's hard to see all of the details and pretty colors from afar so this pictures doesn't really give the lenses justice. Anyway, I hope it gives you an idea of what they look like in real life. 

NOTE
There is actually another line of circle lenses which are also called Vassen Rainbow Eyes - even the names and colors are almost the same, but the designs are quite different. I made a review of one of the color variations from the other Vassen Rainbow Eyes collection, also called Light Greenish. Click here to check it out and see the difference. 

This concludes my review of the Vassen Rainbow Eyes in Light Greenish. Stay tuned to see my upcoming reviews of the Vassen Rainbow Eyes Lenses in Greenish Blue, Grayish Blue and Brownish Hazel.

Today's Look - Clear frames & clear choker

Monday, May 7, 2018


Hello, dreamers!

It's finally getting warm and sunny here in Seoul which means that it's time to put on our sunglasses!

I have so many pairs of sunglasses but there's always room for more, so I couldn't resist to buy these sunglasses with clear frames and purple lenses as soon as I saw them. I felt like they were made for me!

I found them at H&M but for some reason I can't find them at H&M's online store, at least neither at the Korean nor the Swedish store which is weird because I got them at H&M here in Hongdae, Seoul. They weren't on sale or anything so it didn't seem like they'd be discontinued or anything anytime soon. Hmm.

In any case, H&M has so many cool sunglasses now so I kinda want to get some more next time I go there. I really want to get a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses next!

What kind of sunglasses will you be wearing this summer? Let me know in the comments so we can inspire each other!

Today's Outfit ☾ Cropped Hoodie & High Waist Shorts

Friday, May 4, 2018

Hello, dreamers! I've been doing some shopping for summer clothes these days which is quite hard because I'm very picky when it comes to clothes (or in general, actually) and there aren't many stores here in Seoul that suit my taste. However, I went to H&M in Hongdae to try my luck the other day and stumbled upon this awesome cropped hoodie. It was even on Sale so I felt super lucky! 

     

I love everything about the shape and design of this hoodie, especially the long trumpet sleeves, but what really got me was the awesome print. I also got the black High Waist Shorts which is a must have in my summer wardrobe. I can pretty much wear them together with anything. What do you think of this outfit? I love it and I'm definitely going to wear this combo a lot before it gets too hot here. 

It's actually been quite a while since I last made an outfit post on my blog. Whenever I take pictures of my outfits I focus on posting them on Instagram so I just leave it at that and forget to post anything on my blog. Oops! I was really happy with this outfit and the pictures tho so it suddenly struck me that I had to post them here too. 

Would you like to see more outfit pictures on my blog? Let me know what you think in the comments!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Bye for now, dreamers!
