REVIEW: Diamond Lash - Fairy eye ダイアモンドラッシュ ☆ フェアーリーeye

シャララララ♪ The last Diamond Lash review is here!!  By "the last" I mean the last review for the 3 new DL boxes I ordered recently with some help from the lovely Dtan! If you want those lashes I suggest You contact her and ask about it! :) Other ways to get Diamond Lashes are through a shopping service from Japan form a japanese online store. Anyways, lets go with the review!

ミ☆　　ミ★　 REVIEW: Diamond Lash (first series) - Fairy eye   ★彡　　☆彡

(ダイアモンドラッシュ  *  フェアーリー eye レビュー)

Official website photo - hmm, looks almost invisible...?? 

My photo. (so dusty, please forgive! m(._. )m

ミ☆　　ミ★ REVIEW  ★彡　　☆彡  Fairy lashes are straight lashes glued onto the bone so that they create a kind of an U shape, but they do not really cross or give the cross-type lashes effect. The inner lashes are thinner and shorter, while the outer ones are more dense and longer, the closer to outer eye corner, the more length and volume. There are no visible wisps, so I'd say those are volume-type lashes, but they are not too dramatic, the lash ends are thin and delicate, they are perfect for daily use in my opinion!! I don't wear fake lashes everyday, but if I did, I'd wear those! Since I bought them, I am wearing lashes more often anyway! Like other Diamond Lashes, they are very soft and light and easy to glue on (remember, put glue on the lash bone, wait about 30 seconds, hold with both hands, look down at your mirror and slowly place them right over your lashes, on your eyelid! It'll go good), they never poked me in the eye or gave me any unpleasant feeling while I was wearing them. Also they never ever started falling off, even a tiny bit. When I wear them I just really forget I have fake lashes on, so super comfortable (but that goes for most Diamond Lashes) and the shape and style is amazing, no wonder those are a huge hit in Japan...LOVE★⌒ヾ(￣〓￣ヾ)

ZOOM UP photos!

No flash, eye closed... you may think - wait, how is this natural?? Magda, you mad?, but just wait and see...! :D

Looking straight at the camera, no flash! 

Ahh, I love those lashes... (*______*)

BTW, I took those photos in the morning, before leaving for work, I am wearing them for work no problem - they are comfortable and look great but not dramatic! It's also the 4th or 5th time I am wearing those lashes (this exact pair!) and it still looks and wears perfectly. Of course each time I clean my lashes carefully after taking them off and store in lash container, so no dust gets on them. :) Because you can reuse them and get 5 pairs for about 1000yen (original price in Japan), they are super economical and great value for the money.

Looking up, no flash! 

Looking straight, with flash, see how delicate the lashes are? *love*

Now, the longest lashes, at the very outer corner are about twice as long as my own miserable lashes, but because of the way the lashes are glued to the lash bone (in the U shape I mentioned before) and how thin they are, especially the ends, even though you get a lot of volume close to the lash bone, the lash ends are getting thinner and don't look heavy at all! And that is why, in addition to being light and easy to wear, they also look super natural, even though they to give a nice volume and really help define the eye! Seriously guys, I recommend those a lot! パァー　゛ (゜・゜* ホレボレ

You can also see some other reviews here:

@ Jae's amazing blog (you must follow this one, her reviews are the best!

@ Mitsuki himeko's blog (wow, just found it thru Google, looking for other reviews, following!)

And Diamond Lash "Gorgeous eye", which I reviewed here)

@ Monica Tang's LJ review (but I don't agree with her review, they are really nice lashes in my experience :))

And to show you how natural they are, some all face shots, hahaha, the morning "by the window" light washed out the colors and photoshopped me :3 Wearing MAC Peachstock on the lips and Dainty on cheeks. My eyes are MAC Vintage Selection paintpot ('ve been using it everyday since I bought it) and Retrospeck eyeshadow, with moderately thin gel eyeline!

BTW, it is MINUS 15 CELCIUS degrees today in Warsaw.... OMG (T___T)

My younger sister's luggage is in the back, I can't believe how many bags she brought.... (O_o??)

Yeah, no brows (;_; ) They are so thin and pale OTL But you can see the lashes! 

Perfect for daily wear, are they not?!

 Sooo... that is my review, please share your thoughts! I really recommend those lashes for everyone! I will try to post reviews for the 3 other Diamond Lash types I have at home: Princess, Celeb and Dolly. ^^* But from now on, this week will be busy at work, including a 2 day work trip on thursday/friday, so the next blog update will probably be in march... already march! The time flies so fast!! D: Got to pat this wrinkle cream onto my face everyday, gasp!! I'll be a granny before I know it, scary! ;))

REVIEW: Diamond Lash - Girly eye ダイアモンドラッシュ ☆ ガーリー eye

Second Diamond Lash review is here! I just took those photos and I am wearing those lashes right now and also going out in the evening to a concert wearing them. This will be a review of Diamond Lashes in Girly, from the "Pure series", aka "light pink tray" series. 

ミ☆　　ミ★　 REVIEW: Diamond Lash (Pure series) - Girly eye   ★彡　　☆彡

(ダイアモンドラッシュ  ガーリー eye レビュー)

Stock photo - looks like the real thing, but looks different on Yuuki`s eye than it does in reality! Why? It it not so low volume in reality!

The lashes in the tray. The inner lashes are very short and then they start to get longer and more dense and they have a cat-eye effect. The outer corner has a lot of volume! The lash bone lenght is not long at all - like other Diamond lashes I put them on easily without cutting anything off - the lash bone is shorter than my eye width - and my eye is not really long or anything.

Close up. The outer lashes are very long.

 And now close up photos on the eye:

(flash) lol at my photoshopped eyeliner (=_=')

ミ☆　　ミ★ REVIEW  ★彡　　☆彡 Like other Diamond lashes, those are very light and comfortable to wear, easy to glue on, because the lash bone is soft. But I did have problems gluing it on - the outer lashes are sooo dramatic and even if you glue it a little bit uneven, IT WILL SHOW. You can see I couldn`t glue them on evenly on my eyes, right and left are a bit different... OTL But, oh well! Also I tried gluing them closer to my inside eye corner, but the outer lashes are so long and volume-y and then suddenly end, so the outer lashes look weird, especially when I look down, if you can understand what I`m trying to say here, it`s hard to phrase for me... (X=x`) And if you glue it closer to your outer eye corner, you will get a droopy cat-eye effect, and you will get lots of it! So you decide, positioning them is kinda hard, in my opinion. The gluing on is easy, just as other Diamond Lashes. Also they look scary in the "looking down" photos, in person they are a bit more natural looking, but I don`t think they are natural lashes, definitely closer to dramatic lashes! Paired with bottom lashes they would create a super cute, girly look I think! :D

So lets see photo of DL Girly worn!

Looking down - no flash - they do look a bit freaky, don`t you think? See what I meant? The outer side lashes  end so suddenly, I dunno, maybe it`s just me? XD (After wearing them all day, I must say I got used to that look, but I was feeling self concious, thinking they are too much for daily makeup.)

But, looking straight - no flash, they look way more natural, see? I actually glued them on without moving past my natural lash line, I even left a couple of milimeters between the lash bone end and my outside eye corner - the lashes are just soooo long they wing out outside my eye lenght anyway! :O

Another shot. You can see I wasn`t able to glue them perfectly even OTL

Looking down with flash - they are a little bit shiny with flash, but it`s not bad.

Not all that dramatic, huh? But also not really natural... something in between!

The curl is very strong and nice.

Soooo... my overall thoughts? They are very long, on the outside corners!! Very cat-eye like and winged and curled really nicely - if you want an elongated eye effect, a droopy eye effect, cat eye, and so on, you should get those, they would be perfect for that! The have no wispy look and neither are they natural looking in my opinion, but the fact that they wing out only at the outer corner doesn`t make them super dramatic as well. Somwhere between natural and dramatic. More of a "volume" type lashes, but since the volume starts to build up from the center, they are OK even for me, for I am not a bit fan of heavy volume type lashes. Also, good value for the money. Hmmm... but I definitely think they are NOT easy to position on the eye, so maybe I wouldn`t advice fake lashes beginners to get those as their first lashes? unless you really want them, of course :DDDDDDD

I don`t think I will be wearing them a lot, from the 3 types Diamond Lashes I got recently (Fairy, Gorgeous & Girly, those ones - Girly - are my least favorite... But I will still try to glue them on in different ways and have fun with them! :D (I am thinking now they would look suuuper cute moved outside my real lash line and glued going down, for an extreme droopy (tare-me) effect! :O

The dark circles under my eyes.... (=_=) 

This is a fan with hand painted wonderful ink art of a Dharma with a wise sentence made especially for me by Sung Seop Joung, artistic nickname Hyunrim (玄林). A Korean painter. ^^*

I will try to add single eye photos later, like in the other review.

Take care! :*

REVIEW: Diamond Lash - Gorgeous eye ダイアモンドラッシュ ☆ ゴージャス eye

さて！I am wearing Diamond Lashes in Gorgeous eye today and I decided, if I'm going to do this, write the rpoper reviews I mean, I should do this now, before sth else distracts me!
＼(o￣∇￣o)/ふあー I was woken up soooo early today by my cat, who wants to play at 5:30 am and thinks my moving foot is the most exciting toy ever... (=_=') I wasn't really able to fall asleep after that, watched an episode of "An idiot abroad" (the brazil episode, hilarious!!) and ate breakfast (unusual, woke up hungry, lol).
Now I'm at work, but it's super slow today, so I might as well spend 15 minutes writing a nice review. :D

ミ☆　　ミ★　 REVIEW: Diamond Lash (first series) - Gorgeous eye   ★彡　　☆彡

(ダイアモンドラッシュ  ゴージャス eye レビュー)

The producent's photo - the lash bone is clear in reality, I dunno why they made it look black in the stock photo?

The lashes in the box (￣ー￣)v ブイ！My own photo! That's more like it! 

They look crazy long n the box, and very curly too!

ミ☆　　ミ★ REVIEW  ★彡　　☆彡 Those lashes are super light, the lash band is clear and soft. The lashes themselves are soft but not too soft, sturdy enough, very wispy and super looooong. They are easy to glue on (I always use both hands to place the lashes correctly and close to my lash line - but not on the lashes, ugh, lashes glued too high or on the lashes, my pet peeves!). There is not much volume, so if you want volume, you will need to layer another pair of lashes with those. They create length and long visible wisps! It gives a really dolly effect in my opinion! Also those lashes, when worn really remind me of MAC #7 lashes! Overall, they are great lashes, they have a nice strong curl and are very long and wispy. And the price is reasonable! You get 5 pairs of reusable lashes for the price of more less 1 (one) pair of MAC lashes!! (prices around the world differ, but in Poland one pair of MAC lashes id 55pln).

Now photos of the lashes worn! Taken today! せ～の (o￣▽￣o) わ～い ＼(￣▽￣o)／Natural light!

looking up - they are almost twice the lenght of my natural lashes, lol!!

looking straight at the camera - there is a really nice curve

looking down - as you can see, not really much volume, only the lenght and the wispy look, which I think is more than enough for daily looks and would be perfect for a night out as well - I'm not a big fan of crazy volume Brigitte Bardot type lashes honestly

(this was before I went over the lash bone with black liner, don't worry ;))

And both eyes! With flash this time. 

To show the lashes better I kept the eye liner and eye shadow minimal. ^^*

I am wearing MAC Tempting on my bottom lash line! （*´▽｀*）

More less looking at my eye level... (*￣∇￣*)エヘヘ

So, to sum it up again, those are really great lashes! Less crazy than I expected them to be just from the way they look in the box. Main charm points are: length & wipsy lashes & curl! Very similar to MAC #7, but more reasonably priced (well, but I still think that MAC #7 lashes are definitely worth the price!! It's just that with those you get really same quality, very similar lashes, in a similar price, but you get 5 pairs in a box!) （＾▽＾喜）Overall, if you like this type of lashes and have a change, deeeeefinitely buy those!

 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 

And as requested, more of the cat, Noko.

That is all! Bye bye for now, my dear readers! 

Diamond Lashes collection & shot reviews

Sooo!! Recently I ordered some Diamond Lashes (btw, their website is perfect, user friendly and pretty!) with the help of the lovely D~tan of sEpia memory blog, and she helped me get Original series: Fairy eye (the most popular type I think, Kanako wears it too) and Gorgeous eye lashes and from Pure series: Girly eye lashes.

My new lashes! Opened it right away, hohhoho~

And I thought it is a good oportunity to say a little bit more about Diamond lashes and show the ones from my stash :) So first I'll introduce the new ones, I haven't worn them yet of course, but I'll do my best to post photos and thought soon. But here are the new ones!

\(*^__^*)/\(*^__^*)/ Diamond Lashes - Pure Series - Girly eye lashes

from Diamond Lashes website, shown on gorgeous Yamamoto Yuuki:

They are from Pure series, whish is supposed to be "natural", so we will see, but in the box they look quite dramatic for natural lashes, more dramatic than in this photo. Still, they are super soft and light, Diamond Lashes are really killer. :)

\(*^__^*)/\(*^__^*)/ Next , Diamond Lashes - Original series - Fairy eye lashes, which are one of the most popular lashes in Japan now, Kanako and Romihi from EGG magazine wear it, soo many people swear by those lashes... I cannot wait to wear them! I thought the Original Series Diamond Lashes look quite dramatic in photos of just the lashes, but in real life they look like... just... wow, perfect. They are not too long or crazy, don't look plasticy or too heavy of fake, but still have enough volume and style and make eyes look stunning... And they are so soft and light and I seriously just forget I have fake lashes on when I wear Original series lashes! :D

EDIT: WORE THOSE TWICE - looooooooove them!!!

And a pic from website:

Again, the stick photo is a bit different from the lashes in person, they are more natural in person, I'd say, so don't be scared of them! Fabulous, must buy!!!

And two pics of those on my eyes, I love them

\(*^__^*)/\(*^__^*)/ And then, Diamond Lashes - Original series - Gorgeous eye lashes

Website photo:

They do look likethe promo pic, except there is no thick lash band, it is clear and soft. The lashes are really  long though - I think they will create a super cute dolle effect with tare-me (dropy eyes), because the longest strands will face down and then curl up again, how cute.... <3 But they are super long! (O_o)

********************************

But, those are the new shiny lashes I haven't worn yet. Below are Diamond Lashes I already have and wore, so they will also come with EOTD photos and reviews later! Yay? :) I ma so bad with taking photos and posting good reviews, but I`ll try, I promise!

Diamond Lash - Volume Series - Celeb eye lashes

They are super light and soft and wearing them is like a dream. But they are veeery long and dramatic, my male friends ALWAYS comment about it when I wear them. ("Oh! What's with the lashes!!! Tonight you DID DO MAKEUP, whoa..." and so on... :P But it was also like "Tonight your eyes look very kawaii", so... who cares? :P Aah, men... if only they knew what they are talking about, I'd care, but in case of lashes, they have no idea. ;)) But they do look rather dramatic:

I think they are perfect for a full-on gyaru look though!

Diamond Lashes - Lady Glamorous series -Princess eye lashes (bottom lashes)

It is hard to glue them on correctly, they always seem to face down and look weird. Plus the longest pieces and too long and heavy, but I found that if I cut off the last one or two pieces, they work perfectly, even with makeup that`s not really strong, just add some eyeliner of shadow on your bottom lid and they blend in nicely. Overall, nice lashes, mostly for stronger looks, but if you cut off the longest pieces, they are fine for natural looks too!

 Diamond Lashes - Original series - Dolly eye lashes, promo photo:

Sooo, at first I was like, what's the deal with those, they don't have much volume or lenght, they are only a tiny bit longer than my own lashes, they look too natural!! I couldn't see the fake lashes at all. :/ But after feeling dissappointed, but still trying them a couple times, I understood what's nice about them. They are natural, but that makes they sooo easy to wear with natural looks - thin eyeliner, light eyeshadow and those curled up = pretty! :) So now I like them, if I only want  to a little bit extra, I wear those. For example sometimes wearing lashes just makes me happy, but I don't want everyone to be shocked, (example saturday mornings, when I teach japanese, my students should focus on japanese, not my makeup), I wear those. Nice, but definitely not for you if you want a dramatic look or your lashes are already super longs and thick. :)

Real photo:

my complete Diamond Lash stash 8DDDDDDDDDDD

 You can see the "drama level" difference between Dolly, Fairy and Celeb. Like I wrote above, Dolly is extremely natural. Fairy is fabulous, but still looks natural and is just perfect. While Celeb is definitely nowhere near natural, but oh so fabulousss.... but I guess, not for everyday? :)

& Greetings and bye bye from my silly cat:

He just finished texting someone aparently, hey, get your own phone, cat! :P

CIRCLE LENS REVIEW: G&G GBT Green

Hello my dear readers!   \（*´▽｀*）/


I bring you another circle lens review and my first post in February 2011. (*´ー`)
Remember, you can click on all photos to see bigger versions! ｏ（＾－＾）ｏワクワク
I was waiting for those lenses for a looong time, because when I ordered they were out of stock, but finally they are here and I LOVE THEM! (Sidenote: Funny, but all the time I thought I ordered Neo Vision Dali Extra Green, so when they arrived for a second I was mad and thought "all this waiting to get the wrong lens!!! HARUMPF!!", but I checked my order history and turns out I was ordering those from the beginning.... ahh, dementia... I`m already getting too old for this (>_<```), lol!)

Anyways! I ordered G&G GBT Green circle lens from Pinky Paradise (my first order from them). The service and communication was really good and I have no complaints. They informed me very fast that the lenses I wanted went out of stock and asked if want a refund or other lenses, but I chose to wait for re-stock. As soon as they got it, they sent my order my way and informed me by email. The lenses arrived in about 10 days, wrapped in layers of cute pink foam, very safe. I also got a free random lens case, this time it was pink hippos 8D

The lens in lens container. 

Those lens are very veeeery natural looking on the eye - most people don`t even notice I have lenses on in normal light. In flash photos or in super bright light the green color gets more bright and intensive, so that some people might notice it`s fake, but honestly, most people don`t lol! (I think mostly people who have a very good eye for details or people who wear color lenses themselves notice, others are rather... not observant enough? ;P )

One lens in, no flash. (no makeup, but I rubber my eyes and turned out there was some makeup still left... OTL) It blends with my natural eye color perfectly and gives some enlargement, but there is no black rim and it`s not fake looking and not really dramatic. Which I like. Super natural circle lens, yay!

One in, with flash! You can see in flash photos the color get brighter and more obvious, but it still looks natural, doesn`t it?! Those are amaaaaaazing lenses if you want color change and some enlargement, but natural looking. IMO, those are perfect for daily use, school, work, bring it on! :D

Makeup and flash, both lens in. :D This is after a whole day, so a little bit of eyeliner in the inner corner of my eye is gone... :I But I am wearing japanese fake lashes from Donki I got from my friend Mika (who now lives in Warsaw, Poland, but has an amazing japanese fake lashes stash 8D) - ah, those lashes are soooooooo good! Super natural, but make eyes pop! <333 Definitely getting those lashes!

There is no noticeable halo effect.

MAC Woodwinked and Donki lashes. :)

COMFORT: 10/10 (but this is my personal experience, might be different for you) Those lenses are super comfortable. I don`t feel them in my eyes at all and there is no drying out all day long. Wore them to my baito and forgot I even had them in, wore them for 10 hours, no problems at all. Perfect for daily use! Also, I have bad eyesight (around -1.00 in each eye), but I never wear glasses, so most of the time I see everything blurry, cause right now I don`t even have regular lenses, but I got those in prescription and now I have not only bigger, greener eyes, but also I see everything clear! XD It is such a bummer when great looking lenses don`t come with correcting power... but these do, which is why I love them more! :D

DESIGN: 10/10 Blends so well with my original eye color, not only because it is green, but because of the design! There are clear spaces between dots of green and black, so the original eye color shows trough and I am sure it would blend lovely on any eye color! Also I think these are especially perfect for light eyes, as there is no brown in the design, only green and black. Awesum. ヾ(@°▽°@)ノ あははぁ I wonder how those in brown would look on me?

OVERALL: Great natural design with natural enlargement effect and great comfort. 10/10 lenses if you want natural effect circle lens and have light eyes!!!! Also Pinky Paradise`s service was really good, so I think I`ll be shopping there again some day. :D Next up I want more green colored circle lens, to blend with my eye color nicely and definitely more other colors from this series!! :D

So before I finish the review, 2 more photos, of my whole face with those lenses, one with flash, one without flash, in bad light. You can see the enlargement and color and how they go with more natural and also stronger makeup. :) 

sth wrong with my hair, lol, it was sooooo windy!!!

OTHER PEOPLE`S REVIEWS? 
（V＾－°）イエイ！There is also a great review of the same lenses I have, but in Gray, on dark brown eyes, here: http://insideoutelle.blogspot.com/2010/10/circle-lens-gng-gbt-grey.html, made by Elle (following her!).
