Shoppingholics Order.....

Hi Everyone...
So I tried to do a video review for you on this particular order but I never seemed to get it to work out...
So I decided to write it instead....
So couple months ago I decided to get circle lenses... (in case you didn't know) These are contact lens that has slightly larger diameter.... Which gives you the illusion of big eyes and what they call "Dolly eyes effect" So after weeks of determination and alot of time spent in front of the computer screen... I ended up with a company called : Shoppingholics... they had the most reasonable prices, they had alot of extra things I could also order than just contacts.. So I spent even more time in front of the computer to search for the perfect circle lens for me that just enhanced my eyes and not too into the dolly effect.. In the end.. I ordered three pairs..  They came with a promotion where each pair of contacts you ordered you received a few extra goodies...

So in total I received:
- 3 Pair of contacts in cute boxes
- 3 Cute animal cases
- 1 Eye Mask
- 1 Velcro Hair clip
- 1 Cute Travel Mirror

This site also shows you the retail price and their prices..
They also have all sorts of promotions and many interesting style contact lens

So on the left you will see lots of cute boxes that holds my contacts. They mostly sell the prescribed ones
So I would recommend that you get your eyes tested first... they do have some that are prescribed so you can check those out ^_^ I forgot to take photos of the extra items I got with my package...

Haul: Bundle Monster Nail Stamps

Hey Everyone, So I have been feeling very into decorating my nails lately. So my friend mentioned to me about Nail Stamps. So Naturally I went on youtube to find out more about it. So I was very intrigued. And it seemed easy to do. So I went on Amazon and ordered some. I ordered the 21 pc and 25 pc (2011 collection) from Bundle Monster and I ordered a plate holder to ensure it made less for me to clean up :)
Since both items were from different sellers. I got my products separately. My plate holder arrived within 9 days after I ordered it. My Bundle Monster took about 2.5 weeks to arrive. So thats not so bad. But my stamper and scraper has yet to arrive so I haven't started yet.. Super excited to try! When I receive my Stamper and Scraper. I will post photos and reviews ^_^


XOXO

Review : Just lenses....

Hey Everyone, So I finally got my contacts after ordering for over 6 weeks. So I just thought I would review on the company I used to order them :) So normally if you buy your contacts in Jamaica, I realized how expensive it can be... Thats why I had decided to order mine online for half the price as here in Jamaica. So I ordered from a site called "Justlenses.com" So much cheaper... And more varieties and I have enough contacts to last me for 2 years or so.. Because my regular contacts has 12 pairs! And normally You can wear your contacts up to 3 months or unless they tear. And I decided to get 2 shades of coloured ones. Each box holds 6 contacts (3 pairs) So I ordered a brown and gray :) They ship straight to Jamaica. My friend orders his contacts and ship it to Jamaica from 1- 800 contacts. And When I compared the prices. It just seemed cheaper to order from Just lenses. But then my friend received his contacts in just two weeks. I was told my contacts would arrive within 10 - 12 business days... But it did not come with a tracking code.. And in the end... it took 6 weeks to arrive... So I was pretty disappointed about that... But as my friend said... its the service that you pay for rather the contacts. But I didn't mind because I wasn't in a rush. This site only sells prescribed contacts. So if you are looking for the fashion ones for colors. This is not the site for you. But some stores do sell the fashion ones. Just thought I would point out that those cases do NOT come with my contact. I actually ordered them. Its a cute travel case which is perfect for me.. Because I would rather pop those into my bag. It contains a Mirror , Contacts bottle (for solution), tweezer, Lens container and Contacts stick. I haven't really tried to use the contacts stick yet. But this just seems perfect for me because I'm always out dealing with things and work. So onto the Q & A's !  ^_^


Q: Why did you order from this company?
A: Jamaica is so expensive and I saved more than half the amount of money on all of my contacts. 


Q: How did you find this website / company?
A: Google is an amazing thing... 


Q: What do you think of their service?
A: I have to give it 3.5 stars. They do notify you that your order was received and been shipped out. Also they have friendly customer service and live chat on the site to help you :)


Q: What did you hate about this site?
A: They gave a false impression as to when I would receive my contacts 


Q: How are their prices?
A: Their prices are more than reasonable.. Considering how much they are charging in Jamaica in optical stores. Which is atrocious! 


Q: Would you order from them again? 
A: I would. But I might try from 1- 800 contacts. But I don't need to order any contacts for a good while 


Q: Whats the best thing about this site?
A: They actually have bulk orders you get them cheaper! My contacts aren't going to expire till 2016 - 2017! Also they have reviews on all the contacts so you can read and compare to find which is the one for you! 


I hope this was helpful if you are planning to order your contacts anytime soon :)

My opinions on : Maybelline 24 hour color tattoos

Hey Everyone,
I know this is a super late kinda been busy with alot of stuff... I actually had two of these for months now... But I was waiting for when the stores restocked on the Bold gold and Bad to the Bronze shade for me to purchase before I wrote up about it...  So There are about ten colors I think. But I was only interested in five shades. And I haven't been able to get my hands on the tenacious teal. So disappointed.. But I'm quite happy on the shades I have now...  So In this blog I have swatches of all four shades I own which are ( in order) : Tough as Taupe, Bold Gold, Bad to the Bronze and Audacious Asphalt. Because I knew these shades were what I would mostly use... For neutrals, warms or smokey eye looks... Which is mostly what I aim for :) So basically these shadows are great but I tend to use them mostly as a base... to bring out my brilliant eye shadows.. and they are also amazing as eyeliners... if you wanna give a pop of color ( I wish I was able to get the teal for this) I haven't really tried these on for 24 hours.. But I do notice without primer.. It does crease quite a bit. So if you thought you didn't need a primer. You were deeply wrong. So time for Q& A time :) 


Q: What do you think of this product?
A: I love the shades and that its easy to blend, I think its amazing for a base as well, does wonders :)


Q: What do you normally use this product with?
A: I tend to use my Kat Von D primer (sold at sephora) or my Urban Decay Primer potion as a primer and I use my Urban Decay Naked Palette or Nyx single eyeshadows over it :) 


Q: Whats your favorite thing about this product?
A: I love that its creamy and easy to blend.. and its not as easy to crease (if you have primer on) and its smooth enough for me to use also as an eyeliner :) 


Q: What do you think of the price of the product?
A: I actually think the price is more than reasonable because of two reasons 
1) A little of the product goes a long way 
2) Its long wearing 


Q: How much would you rate this product? 
A : I would give it four and a half stars considering its a drugstore product


Q: Would you recommend this product to friends and family?
A : More than likely and I could show them how I use it as well :)


I hope you guys find this very helpful :)

Review : Maybelline Master Precise liquid eyeliner

Hey Everyone! So I haven't written a review in a while... But I just bought this product recently and I actually bought it and hoped it would be a dupe for my favorite liquid eyeliner from Japan called " K- Palette" But Sadly this didn't even come close to what I wanted... Mostly because my K- Palette is a 24 hr eyeliner thats waterproof so there would be no reason to do retouches... So I was pretty disappointed with this product .. But I'm going to just give you the Pros and Cons about this eyeliner ( This is just in my opinion)

Pros 

- Precise lining
- Completely Black ( No need to layer the colours on)
- Easy to use felt tip ( which makes it easy to use)
- Quickly Dries

Cons

- Not Waterproof ( started smudging within an hour time)
- Not much Variety of colours


What I meant that it started smudging within an hour time... from glam to a raccoon... It was smudging everywhere and running amok on my face... I am so happy I tried this on before I decided to wear it to go out! With how hot it is in Jamaica right now.. I doubt I would use this again for a while.. Maybe for designs on the face... But not near my eyes... This is just my opinion don't let my judgement of this product prevent you from giving it a try...  If this came in waterproof I am sure my review would have ended up in a different attitude towards this product.

XOXO

Missha Review

Hey everyone after I had these products for over a month I finally got a chance to give an honest review on it.. I haven't used the make up remover quite yet but I have used the skin care products


Super Aqua Deloxifying Peeling gel 
I absolutely looooooove this product. I am not a fan of harsh facial scrubs so I was so happy when this was quite mild and did a better job than the harsh ones. This comes in a Clear gel form where you need to apply very little and as you scrub your face you can actually see the dead skin cells gathering up from the scrub... Its an amazing product with a pleasant smell. This is a product I would probably reorder until they are no longer on the market for years to come......
                                     
                                             Super Aqua Pore minimizing mask 

This is an amazing facial mask for those that has pores that you are self  conscious of its a light consistency with a slight Gray shade its really light you can hardly see it on your face... but it really tightens your face... I placed this product on my face avoiding my lips and eyes and I was surprised when it dried up looking quite clear but with a sheen and I could not move my face.. When I finally washed it off the only word that I could possibly use to describe it was a refreshing. I normally would use a Queen Helene mint julep masque but I never really liked the thick consistency that took me many washes to remove to avoid any residue on my face... and looking like the wicked witch in the wizard of oz. I actually already reordered this product because its amazing and I introduced it to my mother.  All in all if you like a facial mask that does its job and is not a thick cakey blob on your face... you should give this product a try you can order these products on www.misshaus.com  they seem to always have a sale or special or promotion... I recommend this product for everyone to try : 

Missha BB Cream 

So I have raved about this BB cream since I got my first one in summer when I was in Hong Kong and I am still in love with it. AT first I was really sad that there was no way for me to get another when mine was finished until I found it on a site that is in the US and has promotions nearly every day :) Strangely the day I checked it out they were having this amazing promotion that it would be for $12.99 when its original price was $29.99. So seeing how it was less than half of the price I jumped in and ordered one... But they did have this one catch where you could only order one per order... I didn't mind... Because I actually bought two in Hong King thinking I can never get them again. And I was only half way through with my first. So now i have two back ups :) also because i tend to have last minute or i am going away over night during the holidays instead of packing my regular sized. I ordered a travel size so it was much more convenient for me. This BB cream just oxidises into my natural shade.. causing me never to really worry if my foundation is the incorrect shade.. The only thing I didnt understand was why they only limited it to 4 shades... sure it oxidises but there are some persons that cant seem to find their ideal shade. The missha bb cream also has a wonderful spf of 42! how often do you see a foundation with that SPF? and this give me a light to medium coverage.. its buildable so you could make it a full coverage... I will never regret this product. Its so amazing! 

I hope you guys liked my long over do Missha review ... Thanks for reading 

XOXO
