[Review] G&G (Dueba/Barbie) Crystal Light Green

Friday, November 18, 2016

Hello, dreamers! I'm so happy to say that after a long time I'm finally doing a review on a pair of Circle Lenses again - Kindly sponsored by PinkyParadise.com. This time I'm reviewing the G&G Crystal Light Green Circle Lenses. My natural eye color is kind of a dull green-gray so I'm always on the lookout for green lenses that can make my eyes stand out a bit more. That's why I really wanted to try out these lenses and I'm really excited to do this review. Anyways, let's get right into it!

Packaging
My package was delivered by DHL and arrived within just a few work days. Everything came in a padded package and the lenses were safely wrapped in plastic foam. Along with my lenses, I got a free lens case and a hair holder.

Customer Service
One of the many good things about PinkyParadise is their amazingly kind and professional costumer service. They've always replied fast and been willing to help and solve any problems for as long as I can remember. There's not really much more to say about it. They're simply amazing!

Design & Color
The pattern is very simple and sheer which makes it blend in nicely into my eyes. The color is more of a neon green than I expected but once I put them on they make my eyes look a lot lighter and vibrant which I personally really like. The color goes slightly outside of my natural iris, which kind of is the point of circle lenses, but since there's just a plain color and no ring to imitate a so called 'limbal ring' it just creates a 'halo' around my natural iris. I personally think this effect is a bit strang, but to be fair It's only visible if you look really close. It's hard to explain but I'm sure you can understand what I mean by looking at the pictures below.

Enlargement
The diameter of these lenses is 15.0mm which usually means that the enlarging effect would be very large, but in this case the enlargement effect is very small. This is mostly because, like I mentioned earlier, even though the lenses are big there's no dark ring to resemble a limbal ring at the edge of the lenses which usually is an important factor in the enlarging effect. This isn't necessarily a bad thing since it's perfect for those who don't like their eyes to look too big and just want to add a pop of color to the eyes.

Comfort

One thing that surprised me is that these lenses are very comfortable. I haven't been using lenses for a very long time so I expected to feel some discomfort like I usually do when I use lenses again after a long time of only using glasses. When I tried these lenses and even wore them for a day I didn't feel any discomfort at all! Big plus!


Overall
All in all, these lenses are great if you want to add a pop of color to your eyes. Even though I wouldn't call them natural-looking, I love to use these lenses for everyday wear since they are very comfortable and they make my eyes appear to be a vibrant green without looking too fake. In any case, they definitely give your eyes a very charming and mysterious look in my opinion.

At last but not least, here are some selfies I took wearing the G&G Crystal Light Green Lenses.

[Review] Innisfree Green Tea Mineral Mist (Fine Particle Mist) 120ml / 이니스프리 그린티 미네랄 미스트 (안개분사) 120ml

Thursday, November 10, 2016

Hello, dreamers! I'm back with another review. This time I will be reviewing the Innisfree Green Tea Mineral Mist (Fine Particle Mist). Before going into this review I want to mention that I have acne-prone combination skin which easily gets very dry during winter or after I use certain (cleansing, face mask) products. When dealing with so called trouble-skin it's really important to keep your skin moisturized. If your skin is dry for a long time it will become irritated and only aggravate acne and impurities. The best solution is of course to include mosturizing products in your Skin Care routine, but Face Mist is a really great option for a quick pick me-up when you're on the go. Anyway, let's jump into the review.

This facial mist is formulated with moisture from our freshly squeezed green tea to instantly deliver moisture to your thirsty skin.

[Directions] Whenever your skin feel dry, spray onto face with your eyes closed. It can be applied before and after Makeup.
[Ingredients] Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Propanediol, Dipropylene Glycol, Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract, Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract, Orchid Extract, Magnesium Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Extract, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Pradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract, Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Extract, Zinc Sulfate, Calcium Chloride, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glycerin, Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Peg-60 Hydrogenated Castoroil, Disodium Edta, Fragrance
(I couldn't find the list of ingredients written out in English online so I had to write it down from the bottle myself. It was a pain in the butt to write down so please give me some credit if you use it.)

General: There are two types of the Green Tea Mineral Mist. The "Normal Mist" and this "Fine Particle Mist". I tried both of them at my local Innisfree store before deciding to go for the Fine Particle Mist. The difference isn't incredibly big but the Fine Particle mist is noticeably finer and very lightweight.

Opinion/Result: The reason I chose this Fine Spray is because I just really like the advantages of how fine and lightweight it is. The particles are so fine that I can barely feel anything when spraying it on my face. I usually  spray this onto my face right after washing and toning. I love my cleansers, toners and masks but after doing those my skin can sometimes become dry and irritated. So using this spray afterwards really relieves any dryness and irritation. It absorbs incredibly fast and leaves a sheer layer of glowing moisture and I can jump right into the rest of my skincare routine steps or straight into my Makeup if I'm in a rush. It's extremely important that you don't put Makeup on dry skin. I can also use this on top of Makeup which is absolutely amazing because after wearing Makeup for a long day my skin can become dry and patchy. Some areas of my skin also become oily at the end of the day which is why the fine texture of this mist is so great since it will give me enough moisture without making my face more oily or ruin my Makeup.

Basically, keeping your skin moisturized at all times is an important factor in achieving healthier and better-looking skin no matter what skin type you have. It's also great for those who don't want or have tie to put that much effort into their skin care routine but just want to keep their skin moisturized throughout the day. This mist is really helps a lot in that department. I highly recommend it!

Price: The Fine Particle Spray containing 120ml of product sells for ₩14,000 while the Normal Spray containing 150ml is only ₩11,000. The price difference is super small but I was a little confused by this at first because the bottle that contains less costs more even though there's only one difference between the two products. However, it makes sense since the 120ml bottle produces very fine mist which probably makes it last just as long (or even longer) as the 150ml spray.

Repurchase? Yes! People either hate or love face mist and I'm one of those people who love it. I've tried a couple of face mists before and this has definitely become my favourite mist ever. I'm actually going to buy the 50ml bottle too so I can carry it with me anywhere. Even thought the 50ml bottle only comes as "Normal Mist" I honestly don't think there'll be a big difference.

Lavender Dream Outfit

Tuesday, October 11, 2016

Hello, dreamers! ☽ Here are a couple of snapshots of one of my recent most favourite outfits. Purple and White or Silver is my favourite color combo and I just can't get enough of it! I'm so sad about moving out of this apartment because I won't be able to take photos with this background anymore. I wish I would've taken more outfit pictures like this. Anyway, this sweater has been one of my favourites for quite some time but I just recently paired it with this skirt and found that I absolutely love it. Dreamy, casual, comfortable, and perfect for autumn and spring.

Limited Edition Ariana Grande Wireless Cat Ear Headphones

Wednesday, September 21, 2016

Hello, lovelies! I recently stumbled upon these gorgeous cat ear headphones by Ariana Grande at Brookstone. They're quite pricey at $149.99 but I'm so tempted to pre-order a pair. Brookstone also has similar cat ear headphones in black (perhaps created by the same brand/manufacturer) which are a tad bit cheaper, but I like the white ones so much more. I thought they come in different colours at first but it's actually just 1 type of headphones that can be changed into different colours to match your mood or outfit which in my opinion is brilliant. Check out the pictures below!

     

     

Don't they look amazing? You can read more info about the many features of these headphones on Brookstone

[Overview] Etude House AC Clean Up Toner

Friday, September 16, 2016

Hello, lovelies! I'm back with a short review/overview of the Etude House AC Clean Up Toner. I ran out of my toner the other day so I decided to get this one which is apparently good for so called trouble skin. If you've read my previous skincare review you might know that I've been fighting with clogged pores and impurities for a long time so I thought this toner would be a better match for my skin type.

The first thing I noticed about this product was the smell. It smells like alcohol and it also reminds me of something else but I really don't remember what it is. But it smells pretty much like the anti-acne products you can get at the pharmacy etc. but a little bit.. more pleasant (haha)? Anyway, It's not a bad smell! For some reason this smell kind of makes me believe that it's more effective compared to products with sweeter smells and/or artificial scents.

After using this toner for about a month I haven't seen a noticeable difference on my clogged pores but I can definitely see a slight improvement whenever I get red spots (which I rarely get though). This product doesn't do much on it's own so I really think you should use more of the products to get more noticeable results. I also think the AC line is mostly suited for people who have problems with red spots, whiteheads etc.

Overall, this is a solid toner which works especially well to control the breakout of red spots. It doesn't irritate the skin nor make it dry if you have oily/combination or normal skin. I really love korean brand toners in general since even the ones that target acne skin are really gentle but still effective. This one is no exception. However, I don't recommend even this toner to people who have really dry and sensitive skin. It might burn!

That's it for this review. I hope this was helpful. Let me know what you think in the comments down below.

Thanks for reading and bye for now, lovelies~
