Avon Gel Finish Nail Enamel Polish Review - Snow Star

Hello guys! :3 Today I had a tiny review for you on the Avon Gel Finish Polish, i'm not necessarily sure if Avon sells products in countries other than the UK. However i'm sure that where ever you are, there will be something similar to this nail polish ♥

I have at least 7 of the colours from the Gel Finish range, but this one has definitely struck a cord with me. First of all the colour is amazing and totally not suitable for summer despite this being the new range! which is a bit of a fail but none the less I adore a silver/chrome look on my nails. 

Most of these nail polishes are thick and take a while to dry because of their gel-like nature, this one however is really easy and smooth to apply. The picture above was one coat of the polish, which I think is genuinely fantastic in all honesty I think the formula has been changed as I compared this with one of my other gel polishes and there is a definite difference. 

Overall it's a lot better than the previous ones from the same range, it's not 100% compared to the more expensive brands such as China Glaze and OPI as it still cracks after a couple of days. I would give it a 7/10.

Thank you very much for reading my review and I hope you stick around for more in the future

Yesstyle Haul & Review #3 - The Denim Skort!

Konnichiwa Minna-san! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I am back with a new tiny haul and review for Yesstyle.co.uk!

Today I will be reviewing a denim skort which I bought from a brand within Yesstyle, called DABAGIRL, which is a South Korean brand. I have seen their clothing many times throughout my buying history with Yesstyle, but i've never actually purchased anything since they are a little on the expensive side.

However, I put that a side so that I could get the skort of my dreams!! I have been after a denim skort for a few months because I think it'll be amazing for summer (▰˘◡˘▰)... A skort is basically a skirt with shorts attached, and is perfect for girls who aren't very confident in wearing skirts on their own. 

As I imagined, it is completely amazing, and everything I wanted. It looks like a super short mini skirt but you have the added safety of the shorts underneath (in case of any strong breezes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

The fabric is well made and is very soft denim, with a slight stretch to it. I got the size Small, and I am usually a size 6, but this fits me perfectly despite having a slightly larger bum that most girls my size! I would definitely recommend checking the measurements first, otherwise you could have a disaster.

Uniqso Circle Lenses Review #1 - I.Fairy: Dolly Brown, I.Fairy: Cara Green & Dolly Eye: Sugar Candy Pink

Konnichiwa Minna-san! Today I have a review for Uniqso, and more specifically their circle lenses. I bought 3 new sets of lenses and 3 new lens cases to carry them in, so now we should get started on my review xxx! ♥ 

I bought three of these super kawaii Hello Kitty lens cases for only £1.81 each!!! It was too much of a bargain to pass up, they are amazing. ♥ 

Inside you have the lens cases with the L & R embossed on the top so you can know which lens is for which eye. With this case you also get a pair of rubber tweezers for picking up your lenses, a sucker-like device for taking out the lenses and a little vial, which I assume is for carrying lens solution.

Overall this is a very useful little set for the price, the lens cases are a little loose but i'm sure they won't leak if you take your case in your bag. ♥ 

If you aren't one for buying the lens cases, all of the lenses I bought on Uniqso came with their own free lens cases with cute designs on them for the L & R eye sections. ♥ 

This is the cute little boxes that the lens vials came in, which I think is an adorable touch and it definitely made me smile when I opened my parcel this morning! ♥ 

Here are the teeny tiny vials that the contact lenses come in. Each lens comes in a separate vial which you will need pliers or nail clippers to open. ♥ 

I wouldn't say that I have perfect vision, but I don't need glasses so I got my lenses in 0.00. ♥ 

The first pair of lenses I have for all of you is the Dolly Eye: Sugar Candy Pink Circle Lenses. These are supposed to be faintly pink in the outer rim with a thick black band around the outside of the eye. Despite the lack of pink I absolutely love these because they bring out my natural eye colour with the black rim. They are super super! comfortable and I can barely notice them in my eye even from the first wear. I highly recommend these for those who are wanting to accentuate their natural colour or for those with paler eyes where the pink may show up greater xx! ♥ 

Base Curve: 8.6mm

Colour Tones: 2 Tones

Diameter: 14.5mm

Replacement Period: 12 Months

Price: £11.15

First of all... The colour... I LOVE IT. I have always adored the amber/gold/brown eye look and finally I can have it myself. This is the I Fairy: Dolly Eye Brown Circle Lenses. These lenses are absolutely beautiful and bright even on my natural colour, which is fantastic. I find these lenses very comfortable despite their large size, and I found them very easy to put in as well which is a plus. These lenses are a whole 1.1mm larger than my Geo Medical Princess Mimi lenses which gives me the perfect doe-eyed look. ♥ 

Base Curve: 8.6mm

Colour Tones: 2 Tones

Diameter: 16.2mm

Replacement Period: 12 Months

Water Content: 55%

Price: £14.26

My final pair of lenses are my absolute favourite... Wow, that colour! These beauties are the I Fairy: Cara Green Circle Lenses. The colour pay off with these lenses is immense, especially in natural light. They remind me very much of new anime characters with the large marbling detail of colour, very pretty. These are just as large as the other I Fairy lenses and they are also very comfortable and caused no hassle. My one issue with these is the slight green hue that I get in the corner of my vision, but it's not really a bother for me, even though it might be for others. Overall I love these, the slight hue of green is worth the colour of these bad boys! ♥

GEO Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown Circle Lenses Review + Gyaru Make-Up Look

 Konnichiwa Minna-san! Today I have brought you two posts in one ♥ This will be a Gyaru Make-Up Look & a review for my new Circle Lenses from GEO Medical! 

I have never worn contact lenses before in my life, and I have been lusting after these beauties for at least 5 months because I had no idea if I could get them in my eyes. I finally bit the bullet and bought them a couple of weeks ago and i've been trying them out for a while. 

The ones I have bought are the GEO Medical Princess Mimi (Bambi Series) Circle Lenses in the shade Chocolate Brown, and sooo far... I LOVE THEM! Oh wow, these are so amazing. They fit in perfectly with my hazel/green eyes and they are such a lovely almost natural colour. The full details of these circle lenses are below, but I can honestly say they are such good quality and highly recommended.

Design: 5/5 - They are very natural which is what I was aiming for, the outer black band is really thick in colour, giving a dolly-eyed look.

Comfort: 4/5 - I'm still getting used to them so my vision can go blurry from time to time, but there is no irritation, pain or eye watering.

Enlarging: 5/5 - They enlarge my eyes beautifully, but not too much for them to look creepy and odd. The size of the lens isn't an issue with it going in my eye either, once you have the technique then it becomes a lot easier.

Diameter: 14.8mm

Water Content: 38%

Base Curve: 8.8mm

Life Span: 1 year disposal

Price: £15.30

Website: http://www.pinkyparadise.com/

With the purchase of these Circle lenses you also receive a macaron lens case. I also have a coupon code for a free animal lens case & a mystery gift when you buy a pair of lenses.

Coupon Code: vanigyaru

At the same time as photographing my new circle lenses I thought I would do my make-up in a Dolly/Gyaru fashion as that is my signature look ♥ 

I used a matte brown eye shadow and placed it in the crease, and then gradually pulling it up a little further above the crease. I then winged it out more than I usually would, into a point. I darkened the brown with a off black/brown colour in the outer corners and the crease as well to give the look a bit more dimension. 

I then used a champagne coloured eye shadow on the lids and a white eye shadow on the inner corners. I lined my eye lashes with my Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner in Perversion and done a slight cat eye ( I have a tutorial for Cat eye liner, which I will link below). I applied my Estee Lauder mascara and Bourjois Accent Eye lashes on the outer corners. 

Under my eyes I used a matte nude eye shadow & a white eye shadow to create a brightening effect, and I lined my waterline with white eye liner as well. I applied bottom eye lashes and filled in between my lashes with a taupe brown shade to make sure they mix well with the false eye lashes.   

For my face I used my Skin79 Prestige BB Cream & my Lancome concealer, I then applied my Estee Lauder blush & highlight. 

For the lips I done a slight ombre/ulzzang look using a pale pink lip colour, a red lip colour and a frosted pink lip balm & the tutorial for that will also be linked below ♥ 

I hope you all enjoyed this review/make-up look & I hope you be posting more really soon! 

Sayonara ♥

Skin79 Diamond Collection - The Prestige BB Cream Review

Konbanwan Minna-san! Today I have a Korean beauty product review of the brand Skin79. I have been using this brand for a while now because their BB Creams are to die for!!! They are so amazing and moisturizing on my dry skin. This is the Prestige BB Cream which I have heard some pretty good things about, so I was excited to try this. 

First of all the packaging is far larger than any of the previous types of BB Cream that Skin79 has offered, the bottle is a lot prettier and the soft pink colour is so cute. The only con of this packaging is the that it can be really hard to fit in your makeup bag.

The change is fantastic in my opinion, the formula is smooth and creamy which is exactly what you want from a BB Cream. This I would assume will be mostly for pale girls as there isn't different shades for different skin tones, the cream is an ivory/grey colour which will gradually merge with your own skin tone. For me this works wonders as it makes my skin look smoother, more even and at the same time it feels moisturized. It lightens my skin vividly as well and I'm definitely not complaining, I feel that my skin looks much healthier with this as a face product. I believe this product can be bought on EBay & Amazon as Yesstyle is no longer stocking it. 

Overall: 10/10!!! - I am super pleased with my purchase and I will buy this again when my one runs out. This is definitely a core makeup product for my collection.

Price: £15  

I hope you enjoyed this review!! xxx

Ulzzang Lip Make-Up Look (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Hello Minna-san! ✿ 
Ulzzang is a term in Korean for "Best Face" or something to that description, it basically highlights those of above average appearance. People with this style/look usually use the same make-up looks, almost to the point that the term Ulzzang has became a make-up look in it's self. 

Today I have chosen to do the Ulzzang lip look for all of you as it's fun, easy and practically anyone will have the products for it!

The bases of an Ulzzang lip look is to have a stained inner lip which will fade out to a pale outer lip. For me I have chosen a fuchsia pink as my stain and a lip balm as my pale outer colour, 

The key is to be gentle and gradually add the stain on the inner portion of your lips, this will give them an almost bitten look which is what you're going for. 

Afterwards you add a pale lip colour which compliments your stain, in my case it was a pearl shine lip balm from Nivea. 

Around the edges of your lips you can add a very light concealer to draw attention to the cupids bow at the top of your lips, or even a liquid highlighter.


And that completes my Ulzzang Lip Look (0♥‿♥0) and I hope you all enjoyed it! xxx

Blue Pastel Dolly/Lolita Eyed Make-Up Look

Konbanwan Minna-san!

Today I have a make-up look for you inspired by Lolita and Dolly style make-up and clothing. This look is simple, quick and colourful making it the ideal spring dolly look. 

I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance and then applied a nude eye shadow colour, the same shade as my eyelid all the way up to the eye crease. After this I applied a pastel blue eye shadow colour on the outer corners and blended this with the nude colour to blur out the edges and make the who look smooth. 

After this I applied a white colour above the blue as a form of highlight due to how pale I am, and then proceeded with eyeliner. I used my Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner in Perversion as it is the blackest eyeliner that I've ever used. I then applied mascara and false lashes from Eyelure. For my water line I applied Make-Up Revolution's Eye Brightener mixed with white eyeliner from MUA. 

For my face I applied Skin79 VIP Gold BB Cream and Estee Lauder in Peach Passion. My highlight is from MUA and my lip colour is Lime Crime Velvetine - Suedeberry mixed with Hawaiian Tropic lip gloss - Island Berry. 

I hope you all like this look I created and there will be many more in the future as well.

Yesstyle.co.uk Haul & Review! #1

Konbanwan Minna-san! Today I have the long awaited Yesstyle.co.uk Haul and Review ♥ I have shopped at this website for just over a year and I love it for the bargains and super kawaii products that you can find. 

My first purchase was these amazing jewel encrusted tights. I mean... oh my god, they are so gorgeous. The tights are very well made and very thick in order to keep the jewels properly attached. All of the jewels are held on by a type of super glue, so I would wear these tights with caution as it is possible a gem is accidentally pulled off.

The second item of clothing was this jumper/dress which is made from surprisingly thick material and it is double lined. It is layered 3 times with chiffon-like material, lace and a knitted material, it is very warm so ideal for the strange Scottish weather we are experiencing at the moment. The attention to detail is noticed on this jumper with the bow embroidery and the pattern on the lace at the bottom. Overall I really like this jumper but as i'm 4ft 10 I can use this as a dress without any issues.

This is one of the most kawaii things I own now, so cute! The top is very tight fitting with a ribbed sort of texture, which is very elasticated in my opinion. The sleeves, collar and bottom of the top is accented with a bright Barbie pink colour, and both the sleeves and center of the collar have a pink bow for detail as well. This top is incredibly well made even though it is a little see-through, but I feel like it could go with any outfit (skirts/jeans/shorts). 

I feel like a painted when I wear this, but I absolutely adore it! This is a tie-neck shirt-dress which is really over sized, exactly the way I wanted it. The fabric is really good quality and the product was identical to the picture from the website. I was worried about the material and shape of the dress being too boxy for my short & slim frame but the shirt is actually very flattering to my body, however a belt could be put around the waist if over sized items aren't your sort of thing. I truly love this, it is so comfortable and light weight, but also warm so I feel it could be worn in any season quite freely. 

Can we all just take a moment to see how freaking cute this is!!! I nearly died when I found this amazing sweater, this is so adorable and it comes in three colours (grey/pink/blue) with ultra cute bunnies all over it!! This is the blue one and it is now no longer available unfortunately, but the other colours are super kawaii as well. The inside is a fleece texture and so cosy and warm, the colours are bold & bright, it is a very eye catching sweater. I completely adore this, it is my favourite item from my Yesstyle haul which is why I left it to the end!

I hope you enjoyed my first Yesstyle haul and I hope to do many more of them in the future, as this is my favourite place to buy clothes from now (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
