How to Rock GIANT CIRCLE LENSES

I KNOW WHAT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH WESTERN GALS AND THEIR LOOK.
TOO BIG CIRCLE LENSES
While I can't say this for every western gal, I finally understand why they look the way they do in pictures: awkward, strange, make-up kinda right but not really suited for them.
Honestly I put my circle lenses AFTER I do my makeup. But now I realize if you decided to fucking get the 15.8mm or higher, you should put in your circle lenses BEFORE. Only because I really feel like it changes the entire look, I mean for shits sake its your EYES. Its the second most important thing in make-up/looking pretty (first thing by the way is foundation, can't look pretty without a nice canvas, yes? YES.)

So being the fucking genius, I was obsessed with getting the 17mm circle lenses and proceeded to go to Chinatown with my co-worker to buy them. They biggest they stocked were 16mm and I bought them in brown because I really wanted brown lenses and they are the Barbie Super Nudy Phantom Circle Lens.


So I'm pretty much thinking to my fucking self SWEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!! BIG EYES 8D
So this morning I put them in and I'm like HOLY SHIT I LOOK LIKE AN ALIEN, A SEXY ALIEN AND I'M JUST LIKE SINGING E.T., KISS ME K-K-KISS ME~*~*~*~
Then I took PICTURES:
 
Can you the see all kinds of wrong in these pictures?

See the picture above I'm like, not smiling, looking like deer in head lights, and my makeup isn't so good (pardon me I'm going to work where I am encased in a floor of 16 teppanyaki grills and just don't really feel like looking so awesome). 
1.) Pose
Pose is important so like yeah, the picture above DOES NOT work. It's like look this is me and I'm really boring! So here are a few examples:

Different expression!

Smiling 8D, This photo still seems creepy....

MMmmMm I'm trancing you with my eyes~*~*

The cool half my face mysterious photo~


AND PLEASE DON'T:
God, you are not a cute anime school girl/Puss in Boots (unless, well, thats what you're going for). You are this hot bitch with big ass eyes so exude confidence.


2.) Make-up
OMFG. This is only second because I feel like if you pose right, you might be able to pull off bad make-up and giant circle lenses. Holy shit, okay I am not saying my make-up is good, in fact I think its absolute crap. However if you decide to purchase giant ass circle lenses, be prepared to take the time to do make-up as if you have giant fucking eyes.
Examples...



Something more "natural", you know are these just GEO super nudies? I googled 18mm and this came up.

Keep in mind eye shapes are also important and omg add lashes like there is no tomorrow. That is probably the common thing with all three pictures: long eyelashes and eyeliner.

In the end.. I think I will stickw ith my GEO Super Nudy lenses, I love the halo effect and they just look hot!!!

In the end its your choice to get bigger lenses. Not every western gal looks bad with humongeous circle lenses. It's really the look you are going for. However if you're just starting out with circle lenses, try something more simple before getting into giant ass lenses. I am so glad I did because I picked up on the difference. I just always wonder how asian girls with small eyes wear these, don't they look fucking scary?

~Killer Chicks~

Hey guys!!! Last night Hachi, Eden, and I were helping Hachi's boyfriend with his film project. Being hotties we got to be in the film and we had to dress like we were going out to a party yumyum~

Makeup:
Face: Missha M Signature Real Complete BB Cream, Maybelline FIT Me concealer in 115, FIT Me Blush in Light Nude
Eyes: F21 Eyebrow Mascara, E.L.F. Mini Eyeshadow Palette, Lancome Artliner in Noir, Dior Maximizer Lash Pumping Serum, Diorshow in Blackout
Contacts: GEO Super Nudy Grey
Ring: Swarovski

Outfit:

Jacket: F21
Dress and Boots: Amiclubwear


Eden ended up leaving early so Hachi and I stayed up to wee hours of the night filming.
The films plot is a party girl ends up killing someone and her and her girlfriends help her hide the body.
Actresses have it tough man... but the film crew has it even tougher so props to Hachi's boyfriend and his film group! They were working so hard late night, tired exhausted, and still setting up lightings and making sure everything was right for multiple scenes. I was really happy to be part of the group even though by the end of the night I probably DID want to end up killing someone... all due to lack of sleep.


Yo, this seriously was like the nicest house EVER.




Peace, lovelies!!!

Btw, I changed my layout, it feels more personal ;)

Maybelline FIT ME Collection

Wowza, its been a while since I've posted. Lots of things happened but now I am proud to come back to my blog after a long hiatus :)~

While browsing the various makeup sections in drugstores I came across the Maybelline FIT ME collection numerous times and I was honestly attracted to the god damn packaging. Look at this, look at how clean, minimal, and classy it is. No it doesn't look like a luxury product but it sure as hell doesn't look like a drugstore product either:

The great thing about this collection is the various shades that they come in. It is also separated by Light, Medium, and Deep so you don't have to try and figure out which tone fits you more.
What I bought from this collection:
Fit Me Foundation in Light 125
Fit me Concealer in Light 115
Fit me Blush in Light Nude

Foundation Review
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS FOUNDATION!
It fits my shade well, it might be a TAD slight darker (I am NC20) but I'm honestly not sure because I apply bronzer and its not very noticeable.
Its super creamy, blends wells, and doesn't feel like a mask.
The coverage is medium for me and covers quite well, if I need any more coverage I will just go and use the concealer.
Gives a dewy finish which I love!
NOTE: I have dry dry skin and from various reviews, this foundation is not very good for oily skin. So sorry oily skinners :(
Also, I would choose the Fit Me foundation OVER Revlon's Colorstay because I swear Revlon's Colorstay (in Normal/Dry skin) feels like I am wearing a shit ton on my face + it looks like my skin is haggard. Or maybe its my skin from seriously going out too much.......................
The staying power isn't as good as Revlon's Colorstay  but sure as hell gives me a nice healthy finish without feeling heavy.
Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Concealer Review
Usually I use my concealer BEFORE applying foundation but I decided to switch it up with this mainly because its a WAND APPLICATOR!! I absolutely love concealers with wand applicators, it doesn't use too much product and you just apply it to the places you want it.
The color I use is Light 115.
Just like the foundation the concealer is extremely creamy and blendable, I absolutely love it!
For my undereye it covers a decent amount, I have serious eye bags but this makes it look very minimal and it feels good to the eye area because its not too thick and hard to blend, like I said its creamy.
For my scars, it covers it well, however by the end of the day the scars start to show a little.
Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Fit Me Blush
I got the blush in Light Nude because I am honestly sick of pink blushes and this blush has NO pink what so ever. It is definitely a nude color with a bit of orange in it.
It gives me a natural glow effect which I love.
However it is NATURAL and doesn't really show up in pictures.
Overall: 4/5
