Dueba Dreamy.i Circle Lens Review - Grey

Hello everyone. It has been such a long time now since I last posted, thanks to my job ¬､¬. Recently though Lens Villiage had some amazing sales and since I have been wanting circle lenses for a while now, I picked up two pairs.  The first one I am going to review are the Dueba Dreamy.i in grey.

Rimmel Glam'eyes Quad Eyeshadow - 002 Smokey Brun + EOTD

This is the second palette I am reviewing from my No Lancome Eyeshadow Challenge.  I don't have too many browns so when I saw that the Rimmel quads came with a $1 off coupon, Smokey Brun was an easy choice.

St. Moriz Dark Tanning Mousse Review

I have had mixed reviews with fan tanners in the past.  My first experience was in the 7th grade when my mum thought I was too pale and bought me one from the gym we went to. Ever since that, I have never tanned naturally :/ Just burned.  I am also super pale and my skin is very reactive with strange yellow/pink undertones.  I have tried Jurgen's gradual tanner which I felt didn't do much for me, Hawaiian Tropic's old tanning mousse which did wonders for my arms but for some reason would never tan my chest o.o, and St. Tropez tanning lotion while in college. I quickly became obsessed with St. Tropez but sadly my mini bottle quickly ran out and I wasn't all too keen on spending $40/bottle.  Then I got pointed in the direction of St. Moriz! It is the same awkward brown/green colour as St. Tropez (I do not have a sample of this anymore so I can't tell you if they are identical in colour but they are the same colour type) and for $11 including shipping from the UK, it was an easy buy!

Life @.@

Life has been crazy but now, after almost a month of working at my new job, I think I finally got my body under control as well as my skin! :DD This coming week there shall be two more eyeshadow reviews, a wig review, and I should be receiving another shipment from Cosmetic Love.

Revlon ColorStay 16 Hour Quad - 535 Goddess + EOTD

For about the last year now, I have been pretty much using the same eye shadows daily. Those eye shadows being Almay's old green eye palette and the two purple palettes I own from Lancome. My friend Rachael did my makeup the other day with her new Naked palette and I decided that I needed to experiment with eyeshadow again! I'm going to try to not use any Lancome palettes or my Almay one for one month. Which meant I obviously needed to go pick up some new eye shadows. I have seen some awesome reviews of Revlon's ColorStay 16 Hour quads and went to Target set on buying two or three of them. Sadly, they only had 5 palettes in stock: Goddess, Luscious, Adventurous, Brazen, and Seductive. Goddess was luckily on the top of my wish list, but I will have to go back another day for Attitude and Precocious.

Birchbox Signup & Summer Wish List

I just sent in my reservation for Birchbox. I have heard a lot about it from various friends and bloggers, and now that I have my new job, I might as well give it a try. For $10, even if I don't love all of the product samples I get, the point system you get for reviewing is worth it since I do really want to try some of the products they carry (I'm looking at you Xen Tan) and I won't buy full price just yet.

Also, today I made my Summer 2012 Wish List:

• Etude House Skin Mal:gem Smoother (toner) and Emulsion
• St. Tropez or Xen Tan self tanning products
• The Face Shop Waterproof BB in #2 (I think this will be my colour with tanner? Not sure though :/) 
• An orange coloured lip tint (Baviphat, Etude, or Tonymoly probably)
• Etude House Proof 10 silver eyeliner
• Baviphat Lip Scrub
• Elisha Coy Moist Up Pure Mineral Mist
• Holika Holika Honey Sleep pack
• Etude House Sleepy Time pack
• Smashbox HD BB Cream in Light
• Cover FX Cream Foundation (I need to find a store that actually carries it so I can find my colour :/ I'm stuck between three shades I might be which are E0/E10/C20 Its suppose to be a Sephora stores but ours doesn't carry it... which is pretty normal for our Sephora...)
• Urban Decay All Nighter
• Inglot EyeShadows in 328M, 37S, 71AMC, 14S, 434P, 74AMC, 362M, 450P
• Inglot 3 &10 square palettes

Revlon Lip Butter Review

I've had the chance to try a few Revlon Lip Butters and I have had mixed reviews on them. I bought Strawberry Shortcake, ended up hating it, traded my friend for Peach Parfait, and hated it even more! D: Between Rachael and I, I've ended up trying Strawberry Shortcake, Peach Parfait, Creme Brulee, Sugar Frosting, and Lollipop.

15 Random Facts

 15 Random Facts Meme gotten from QueerPinkFish.  I think she is one of the cutest bloggers ever, though I don't know if I've actually talked to her! >.< I'm super shy about commenting. I don't have any new products to review just quite yet, since I want to make a mass post of my sheet masks, so I thought this would be a nice filler!


#1 What's a nickname that only your family calls you?
 Actually, my family is the only one that doesn't call me by a nickname. Everyone else in my life normally calls me Jihyo, Hilz, Hilly, etc. but my mum and dad always call me Hilary.

#2 What's a weird habit of yours?
 I roll my lips up. It sometimes looks like I am thinking I guess, or just making a funny face. I have done it for a long time though >.<
#3 Do you have any weird phobias? 
 Butterflies and moths! They creep me out so much! The other day I went out to get the mail and I had to go through the garage because there was a butterfly right outside the front door.

 재미없어/Ain't No Fun by Big Bang. I am trying to learn the song and it just makes me feel good about my ex and I breaking up last year.

 It was this patchwork panda looking thing, and I never named it. :( I think I still have it in a box under my bed though. ^^

 Wooo! I either say it sarcastically or excitedly, depending on the situation, but it tends to be my response to most stories.
#15 Time to sleep - What are you ACTUALLY wearing? 
A pair of shorts or underwear, sometimes a camisole. This also depends on if I am sharing my bed or not. I sleep with like, 3-5 blankets though!

Etude House Dear My Blooming Lip (BE104 and OR205)

Cosmetic Love is currently having a promotion where you buy two or more Etude House Dear My Blooming lipsticks, and you get a free Kiss Note notebook. The order also came with a Etude House SHINee poster.

I've seen mixed reviews about the lipsticks, but in the end I had to buy two! Picking only two colours when there are 24 available is hard, let me tell you! I narrowed it down to 8 that I liked, and my friends helped me pick out the two. I ended up with BE104 and I was talked into trying OR205 by my coworkers. OR205 has a few reviews out, but I have yet to see one for BE104, so this was a complete surprise for me!

I just applied for a new job today and I start orientation on Monday! Wow o.o That was quick. Anyways, it is at a factory and it will be full time! I am already working at a clothing store part time, but I need money. xD The only downside about this job is that the factory is a sterile environment and makeup and nail polish is not allowed to be worn. Due to this fact, I am actually going to hold off buying nail polish and makeup for a bit and focus a bit more on skincare. I really want to try some sleeping masks and some more sheet masks and with both jobs plus dating, they are really going to be pushed to the test.
