REVIEW: Tokyo Wink Eyelashes

This is NOT a sponsored post.

Recently I came across the website, Tokyo Wink. I was really tempted to buy eyelashes because of the price and how the packaging reminded me of Diamond lashes in terms that they give you FIVE PAIRS OF LASHES!

I bought 4 different types: Pure, Adore, Preppy, and Gyaru


Gyaru, Top Lashes
Preppy, Top Lashes
Pure, Bottom Lashes
Adore, Bottom lashes


Packaging 1/5: I really dig the packaging! Super cute, when you first look at it. However when you actually touch the products and open it up, it feels kinda cheap. The worst is the inside where the eyelashes are attached to the plastic inside:
There is so much glue STUCK to the plastic, its quite difficult to remove and here is what happened after trying to remove it...
Boo :(
This happened so many times with the other eyelashes also.... I ruined three pairs and I was VERY gentle. 

Quality 2/5: I'm sorry Tokyo Wink, but I was not impressed with the quality at all. The bands were so thin they would be ruined just trying to take it off the plastic container plus the lashes seemed like they could barely last a day or they would be blown by the wind no matter how much eyelash glue I put on. Although the bands were thing they were very unflexible.

Design 5/5: Love the designs!!! Especially Preppy (top lash), Adore and Pure (bottom lashes). The length is also really nice!

Pure
Adore

Communication 0/5: If you do make an order with Tokyo Wink PLEASE REGISTER WITH THE WEBSITE FIRST. If you don't, please don't expect any responses from this company. I got really excited to finally be order eyelashes that I just checked out straight through paypal however because I didn't register I couldn't really track if my package was shipped or not. I tried to email the company multiple times just to make sure and I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE BACK. Even to this day. But I did receive my eyelashes :)

Overall 1/5: I honestly was super disappointed with these products and the company. I was really happy only because I was able to buy multiple gyaru style eyelashes with a cheaper price! Hoping it might be an alternative to Diamond lashes or "Decorative Lashes". However quality really lacked and no responses from the company about my order didn't really make shopping with Tokyo Wink any better. I would definitely spend the extra money to buy Diamond lashes because the quality from diamond lashes will last much longer than any of these Tokyo Wink lashes!

REVIEW: D.U.P. Model Selection Eyelashes 907


I've seen D.U.P. before and I was really interested in them, but never got them! One of my japanese friends really like these, so it convinced me to buy it!
I like these lashes BUT, they are too natural (or maybe I put too much eyeliner). I really like how much longer Jewelrich and Diamond lash are. D.U.P. 907 are REALLY pretty but lack the length that give us gyaru gals an interesting edge!

Quality 5/5: Great quality! Really beautiful, blends in on your eyes VERY well seeing as the band is very thin.
Packaging 5/5: Cute! Easy to open, comes with glue and instructions. I love that there is a model wearing them so you can see how it looks!
Length: 3/5: Too short for my personal taste, great for a natural look.
Price: 3/5: Two sets of lashes for $16, a bit expensive!

Review: Vivian Lenses 3 tone Blue



So I decided to buy myself a pair of new lenses and chose the Vivian series because it looked really awesome on the model pictures:



Enlargement 10/10: Wow, these really enlarge! They are about a 17.2 I think and much bigger than any lenses I ever wore. I love how they don't make me look like some freaky alien and instead give me a really sexy big eye'd look.
Compared to my natural eye
Comfort 10/10: No complaints. Totally comfortable!

Color 8/10:  The color is blue. There is a halo. It really blends well, too well. I just wasn't looking for this type of naturalness, but I love this color and it shows up on dark eyes! It will blend very well for light eyes since its transparent!

Overall 8/10: They are comfortable, they enlarge! But the problem is they are TOO natural. I really like the over the top lenses with really funky designs so it was a little disappointing to me. They remind me of GEO nudies, just bigger. If you really like natural lenses, then choose these!

I bought these locally! I love my asian neighborhood 8D
Peaceeee

Review: Lioele Water Drop BB Cream


"Lioele Water Drop Blemish Balm Cream (SPF27/PA++) (50ml) - It is an exclusive moisturizing BB cream which makes your skin moist since it contains waterdrop. - It naturally covers the skin blemishes to create clean skin tone and keeps the skin soft for a long time without glossiness. Please noted: The date at the bottom of the product which is the manufacture date, and the expiration date which is 3 years from the manufacture date."


So I bought this BB Cream because it is targeted toward those with DRY SKIN.
And I'm just like, "WHOA THATS ME!!!!"
So I bought it for like 25$ on ebay.
This BB cream is quite unique because when you blend it into your skin, it creates these water droplets, hence the name. But honestly, this is by far the WORSE BB CREAM OR FOUNDATION for my skin EVER. I am so sad I lost my 25$ that could of gone to more useful products...

Coverage
This barely has any coverage at all. And I don't really see those water droplets because you seriously have to TAKE THE TIME to blend it in your skin.
Uh..
I live in New York City, there is no time to take 15 minutes on your face BLENDING in your foundation to see water droplets.
My redness was gone though but all my little acne scars just look more pronounced because the rest of my skin looked decent.

1/5

Skin
OMFG, this is supposedly for DRY skin right? This ACCENTUATED my dry skin. My skin even got flaky from this product. I have dry skin, but its not so extreme that I am flaking until I used this shitty BB cream. SERIOUSLY? HOW CAN THIS BE FOR ANY SKIN? Even my coworkers though I went drinking the night before which equals to no sleep and smoking which equals to skin being not so nice.
WOW....
0/5

Overall
This sucks.
SUCKS.
0/5

If I had recommend a BB cream, Missha's Perfect Cover BB Cream in 23 always worked well for me. However, I am a sucker for new products and pretty packaging, so I will continue to buy and review.

Thanks for reading <3

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

~Vampire GAL~

YES!!!!!!!!!
I got my hands on the Venomous Villians collection by M.A.C.
ONE WEEK EARLY
HOW, YOU ASK?
Because luckily I live near a M.A.C. PRO store and the Pro stores get collections one week early. So I woke up early just to go there at 10am (when they open) to get it!
I only got Malificent stuff because the collection was way overhyped and some colors I couldn't pull off but I love Malificent's colors <3
Two eyeshadows, She Who Dares and My Dark Magic

Lipstick in Dark Deed

Lipgloss in Wrong Spell

I LOVE EVERYTHING I BOUGHT! ITS SO SEXY.
Shadows: Worth it but you really do need a primer before using it!
Lipstick: If you are looking for blood red on your lips without actually having to suck the blood out of someone, this is it.
Lipglass: If you want add more to being the sexiest bitch on the planet, GET IT.
Vampy, yum <3

V also decided to do my hair!!
