Sephora Haul!

Hey everyone!


My birthday was on March 7th and this year I turned 21! Yay!!!
As my birthday gift, my brother bought me a gift card to Sephora. I actually took a little while to decide what I should spend it on. So here is a mini haul for you guys!




To start off with, when I placed my order I was able to choose three samples:


Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Eye Gel- 0.06 floz


Glam Glow Daily Clearing Cleanser 0.10 oz


Nude Perfect Cleanse omega cleansing jelly


Then you have a choice of choosing if you want to put in a promo code. So I got:

Originally I wanted to get this lash serum if I chose to put in "LASHFOOD" but I guess they ran out so I ended up getting Murad.

3-Day sample of Murad Acne Clearing Solution- 3 x 0.045 floz



I'm a Beauty Insider so for my birthday I chose to get:


Peter Thomas Roth
I chose this birthday gift instead of the Nars Lippies because I felt like I wouldn't use them.

Ant-Aging Cleansing Gel- 2 floz


Cucumber Gel Mask- 0.5 fl oz


I also chose to use some of my reward points and got:


Beautyblender Solid Cleanser- 0.558 oz
This cost 100 points and I chose it because I bought a bautyblender.

Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collegen Booster- 0.25 fl oz
This was also 100 points and I chose to get this to give it to my mom.

Now onto the things I actually bought:


Beautyblender Pro which is the black one. 
Usually you get this one to use on makeup that might stain your original beautyblender.
I bought this because this is actually my very first regular sized beautyblender. I already have a knock-off one I bought from Marshall's for $5 and the mini beautyblenders.

Ole Henriksen pure truth melting cleanser- 1 fl oz
I actually tested this product when I went into the store one day and I loved how easy it was to take my makeup off.


bareMinerals Complexion Rescue in Natural 05- 1.18 fl oz
Lately I've only been wearing BB Cream and CC Cream instead of foundation and I chose to get this for those days I want something even more lighter.



I ended up going to Sephora a couple days ago and bought a back up of my Kat Von D eyeliner but in the original tattoo liner which is a brush tip rather than the ink! liner which is a felt tip.

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner Trooper- 0.02 fl oz
This is a re-purchase and I actually want to compare the application to the felt tip ink! liner.
I love this eyeliner but I do want to try the Stila eyeliner and the Dollywink eyeliner as well. Maybe once I get those two, I'll do a comparison between all three!



That is everything I bought from Sephora. I hope you enjoyed my mini haul!



See ya!

EOS Ice Blue Review!

Hello!~

I'm back and I have numerous posts I need to put up. Lately I have gotten caught up in focusing more on my school work and now it's finals week and all I have left to do is to turn in my final essay and then I'm done! So, hopefully that'll mean more posts for you guys! I also have "A Look At" video for these lens here:



Some upcoming posts/videos:


  • Sephora Haul
  • "In a Hurry" Makeup
  • Daily SkincareRoutine
  • Announcement!

With that said, let's get on with the review!




So, I've previously done a review on the EOS Ice Grey lens. Since they are in the same line, I feel exactly the same for these ones as I did for the grey ones. If you haven't read my review on those ones, here is the link:








Just like the grey ones, I purchased these ones off of Maplelens.com




But unlike the grey version of these lenses, I do love the pigmentation of the blue ones much more. I feel like the pigmentation is natural enough for me to wear on an every day basis. As opposed to the grey ones which just looked black unless you were to look directly into the light source which is a no no for the eyes. The pigmentation is more of a true blue compared to the Geo Angel Blue lenses that I review when I first set up my blog.

Info:

Prescription: Left: 2.75, Right: 2.50

Diameter : 14.8mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.8mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal





In all honesty though, I love this series and it is very likely I will be getting other colors as well. I've had my eye on getting the green ones. The EOS Ice series is very thin so I feel like they're very comfortable. They also give you a cute teary eyed effect and with the right kind of makeup, make you look very innocent. I think the only down side is the water content which is only 38%. The water content pretty much determines how long the moisture will last when the lens is in your eye. Higher water content equals more moisture.



Rating (out of 5):

Comfort: 5
Like I stated above, these lenses are really thin which is why I thick they're really comfortable. But since they are so thin, you have to be careful when handling them especially if you have long nails. I have actually ripped a lens before.

Enlargement: 5
Since the diameter is 14.8 mm, I feel like that's a comfortable size for my eyes. Anything bigger is just too much, like the Geo Bambi lenses. I feel like anything that's 15 mm or bigger makes me look like an alien. 

Pigmentation: 4
Since I do like my circle lenses to look more natural, I love the pigmentation of these lenses because they're more natural but you can still tell what color they are. If you want something more vibrant, I suggest you not to get these.



I'm sorry this review wasn't something you were probably expecting.
