Ellen Panda PM 12 Blue Lens Review {Klenspop Sponsored}~

Happy February everyone!
This month is really exciting for me because on the 13th I'm going to be flying back to Boston to see all of my friends >u< I'm super excited for it! 
Anyways, let's get into the review!
As always, this is sponsored by the lens shop Klenspop, which carries a lot of nice circle lenses at good prices (below $20). 
Let's get into it!

The lenses I'm reviewing today are the Ellen Panda PM 12 lenses in Blue! Last week I reviewed those lenses in purple, so if you haven't seen that yet, I suggest you check it out~
As usual, basic lens information:
Price: $18.00 USD
Diameter: 14mm
Graphic Diameter: 13.7mm
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Shelf Life: 6 months
Water Content: 38%

As always, these lenses came with a pair of lens tweezers, as well as a little lens case.

The design of these is the same as the design of the purple ones, but interestingly, it seems to show up much more vividly on the eyes!

I'm very impressed with these lenses because of how they bright they are. Blue lenses tend to show up poorly on my hazel eyes, so when I tried these on I was expecting similar results to before, but I was not disappointed!
Here are some more photos of how they looked on me








On the whole, I'm very happy with these lenses. They're comfortable, have a good enlargement and look very nice! I definitely recommend these if you've been having trouble finding blue lenses that look bright(ish) on dark eyes ^.^
Thank you for reading! Please check out Klenspop!
Bye bye~

Yet Another Jolse Haul~

Hi everyone~
Sorry for not posting super frequently- I just haven't had a ton of motivation for writing posts, and my January was super busy (I was working in a lab- which was wonderful)
Anyways, as usual, I ran out of a bunch of products at the exact same time, so I made another order from Jolse! Which, if you've been reading my blog for at least a few months, you'll know is the only place I buy Korean skincare and cosmetics from.
Anyways, let's start!
All the stuff I got!
An item that I ran out of a long time ago is my forever favorite Cloud 9 whitening cream (which I did a review of here) My mom also really likes this cream, and since we now live in different houses, we got 2~

I really really recommend this cream, if you're looking for a brightening base for your makeup (or even if you want to go makeup free, this is a great base to make you look fresher without the use of BB cream or whatever you use).

Next item that I ran out of was BB cream, and since my absolute favorite is the Lioele Triple the Solution BB cream, I decided to just get it. I also have a review of this, here!
I love this BB cream because it smells wonderful, it has lovely coverage without being heavy, it has a great texture, and you really don't need to use a lot of it to get a good effect. It's definitely my all-time favorite BB cream- the only thing I'd change about it is the price (which still isn't super expensive, but at around $20 USD, it's a bit pricey for my student budget).

I also ran out of my eyebrow pencil *cry*. I wasn't able to find the one I had before from Holika Holika, but I ended up getting another from Holika Holika which I like even more than that one, so I guess everything turned out for the best!

The thing I like about this eyebrow pencil is that it glides on really easily, but without being super duper heavy. I'm quite happy with it!

I also needed a powder (see, I meant it when I said that I had run out of everything). I got this one from Tony Moly~

This powder is transluscent (more or less), so I hoped it would have a very nice HD kind of gentle finish, but it's a bit too powdery for my taste so.... idk. It's a nice powder, but I don't think I'd repurchase it.

Anyways, that's all that I purchased... but oh my god they sent a ton of samples.
Look at all of them!!

Yep, that's all the samples I got from this single purchase. I'm impressed too haha xD But hey, I'm not complaining~

Anyways, that was everything that I got in my haul!
If you'd like, I also made a YouTube video discussing everything in a bit more detail (and some other asian skincare products)
Voila~

Sorry for not being a frequent poster- I'm much more active on my Instagram, which you can find here~ Follow me if you'd like! I'd appreciate it~

Anyways, thank you for reading! I'll see you in my next post, whenever that may be
Byes!

Ellen Panda PM 14 Violet Lens Review {Klenspop Sponsored}~

Hi guys!
I feel like it's been a little while since my last review, hasn't it? Maybe it's just my imagination haha.
In any case, today's lens review is sponsored (as always) by the wonderful online store Klenspop! They carry lots of lenses which are perfect for everyday wear~ Anyways, let's start!

The lenses I'll be reviewing today are the Ellen Panda PM 14 lenses in Violet!
Here is the stock photo of the lenses, and as always, a bit of basic information about them.
Price: $18 USD
Diameter: 14mm
Graphic Diameter: 137mm
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Shelf Life: 6 months
Water Content: 38%
Once again, Klenspop has changed up their packaging! I quite like this new pop-ish style~



The design of the lenses looks quite similar to a few lenses that I've reviewed before. Although it look a bit unnatural when just floating about, it's surprisingly natural and nonoffensive on the eye. Here's how they looked in different lighting!

Dim Lighting


 Window Lighting

These are a very delicate purple, which is barely noticeable in dim lighting, and it appears just the smallest amount in natural lighting. I love how naturally enlarging they are however, and in addition to that, the starkenss and cartoon look of the lenses is a bit softer when on the actual eye. Here are some selfies I've taken with these lenses on, because they're fabulous










And sorry about the excessive amount of photos... but hey, it's fun!

On the whole I'm quite happy with these lenses! They're comfy, and they're not so huge that I need to wear a ton of makeup when wearing them so that I don't look like some kind of weird alien.
Thank you once again to Klenspop for sending me these for review!
And than you all for reading~
Bye bye!

Celestial Jewelry Review {Born Pretty Sponsored}~

Hi cuties!
Today I have a review sponsored by the online shop Born Pretty Store!
They carry lots of cute items at very low prices- things like adorable jewelry (which I'll be reviewing today), stationary, even clothes! 
They have tons of cute stuff and I highly suggest you check them out if you're looking for some adorable new additions to your cute collection~ They also offer free shipping worldwide, because who doesn't love free shipping?

Anyways, let's move on to the review of the items that I got!
I got 4 items from Born Pretty Store, and I honestly love everything so much.

The first item that I got is this set of celestial clip on earrings!
Find them here!
This comes with a set of 4 clip on earrings which you can pretty much attach anywhere you want. There are three color choices: blue, pink, or yellow, but I chose blue because it looked all classic and fabulous that way. Here is what I got~
The earrings attach with little plastic clip things, and they stay firmly in place on my ear. Here are some photos, of course!




I really love the look that these earrings give- it's like I'm a fabulous hardcore galaxy girl~ These cost $3.54, which I think is a pretty reasonable price given the product. They seem to be of pretty good quality too! Definitely my favorite out of all the jewelry I got~

Moving on!
The next piece I got was this absolutely adorable bunny and planet brooch!
Get it here!
This pin is only $2.01, and I think it's just so cute and unique! The little bunny dangles off of the planet from a golden chain, and it's just a really adorable and whimsical design. 

It's not super big and garish- it's definitely a cute little addition to any outfit that needs some more accessorizing~
Here I just pinned it on a pocket, and I think it's just so adorable ;u;

The next item that I got also ties into the celestial/galaxy theme- this zodiac ring!
(Not the design I got but close enough- get it here!)
I got this ring in the pisces design because I'm a pisces (wonderful logic there). I've probably mentioned this a couple of times before, but I'm absolutely obsessed with anything and everything zodiac. So of course, I was drawn instantly to this ring!

This ring is really cute and seems to be nicely made- I like it quite a lot! I find I don't wear rings very often, but when I feel like wearing one, this will be the one :3 It's only $1.99 too~

I wore it here as like a knuckle ring (or whatever they're called), but you can wear it normally too~ 

And lastly, is this fabulous scissors hairclip~
Get it here!
For some reason I'm really attracted to jewelry that has scissors- I have a necklace that's really similar to this, for example. This is a pretty large hair pin, which I'm quite happy about~ I've actually been wearing this frequently (to pin my hair back when I go to work hehe). It's only $1.99, which I think is a pretty reasonable price for something that's quite a statement piece~ 
Here's how it looks worn~

On the whole, I'm really happy with everything I received from Born Pretty Store!
They carry lots more items, so be sure to check them out!
