日焼け止め ~①~ Sunscreen and UVA/UVB protection ~①~

今日は ☆ Hello my dears!

Since it is getting warmer and more sunny (and I am 26 years old and thinking about wrinkle protection), I am thinking more and more about sun protection! I actually never really liked tanning or tanned, never used a tanning bed and knowing what damage it can cause never plan to. But walking outside in the city, hands, arms, face, feet, our skin is exposed to sun. And I don`t want to get wrinkles or blemishes from sun! So, I decided to buy two new sun screens, both from Shiseido`s Anessa sun care line - official website here (very cute and animated).

I bought two:
1. 美白 UV プロテクター / Shiseido Anessa Whitening UV Protector (60ml) 
             from Strawberrynet.com, SPF32・PA+++
2. パーフェクトパーリーサンスクリーンAA / Shiseido Anessa Perfect Pearly Sunscreen AA (25ml) 
              from Ichibankao.com, SPF50+・PA+++

I read the reviews at cosme.net too, here are reviews for Anessa Whitening UV Protector and here the reviews for Anessa Perfect Pearly Sunscreen AA.

I am curious about how they will perform! Also very curious about the "pearly" one! I hope it doesn`t turn my face into a disco-ball~ ;P Plan to use them on my face, neck and decolte, hands and feet! :D For the whole body I can use a different sunscreen, that is more oily or whatever, but for face/hands/top of feet I need something that dries quickly and is also good under makeup! So... we`ll see how this performs! <3

This the TV commercials:

So cute!

And older one:

Tsuchiya Anna is so cool~~ (*0*)

Anyway, I ordered those online, so I am waiting for them to arrive.
In the meantime, I`d like to ask you, what do you think of tanning, sun protection, which are your favorite sunscreens or if you maybe love tanning and tanning beds and don`t give a hoot about sun protection? I`m just curious and want to chat about that, so please drop me a comment! (^0^*) Don`t get me wrong, healthy tan and dark skin looks lovely, but I hate sun caused blemishes and rash and wrinkles and other problems, so that`s why I want to use strong sun protection! To keep my skin young and healthy longer! I will adjust the tone of my face by using darker foundation in summer, but underneath, my skin will be untouched by sun! :D
Tell me about your ideas about tanning, sunscreens and all that. I think sun care is more about health than beauty.... Watch this video:

Circle lens review: Dueba MX21 Violet

Hello.＊＼（＾ｏ＾）／＊ニイハオ
Today I will post photos and review of circle lens, that my younger sister bought!
You see, I have 2 sisters, one is 13 years older, one is 2 years younger. My older sister is a married grown woman with children and she doesn`t care about things like circle lens or fake lashes (unless there is a party and she wants to make old friend jealous, then I glue stuff on her eyelids and we are both happy). So this review, and all guest reviews, are starring my younger sister, Gosia (a round of applause please, thank you).ヾ(@゜∇゜@)ノ　あははのは～

She bought Dueba MX21 Violet circle lenses from PinkyParadise. Though it looks like they don`t carry this specific model anymore? (I think they are here.) Please take a look below for photos and review. I will write as best as I can what my sister said about the lenses and add some of my opinions too. As you know, I am not a pink/violet lens affecionado, but Gosia is (she has like, idk, 4 pink/violet circle lens sets?). Anyway. Here comes the review:

Dueba MX21 Violet

Dueba MX21 Violet stock photo. Looks just weird and not tempting at all! D: WTH.

Weight: 0 kg, 100 grams
Brand : Dueba
Diameter : 14.0mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6mm

REAL PHOTOS:

First of all, my sister`s bare eye. Kind of a green-gray colored iris.

 This is the lens! Dueba MX21 Violet in reality. What struck me was that it doesn`t look all that violet! Looks like blue with a violet tint. A lovely color, to be honest. Personally, I love the design. And the color! :O And I don`t even like violet/pink lenses. XD

Wearing Dueba MX21 Violet, no makeup, natural daylight.

Again, I really like this design and how it blends nicely with her natural eye color!!! The black rim (limbal ring) is not too dramatic, the color change is visible, but there is no sharp border between the lens color and the natural iris color inside. Super lovely IMO.

One eye bare, one eye in + flash. As you can see, there is not much enlargement at all. 

The black rim is also delicate, it makes the eyes pop a bit more, but it`s not dramatically different.

And without flash. 

(The points below are by my sister and me, of course I cannot comment on the comfort, so that comment is hers).
DESIGN: 10 / 10 My sister likes the design a lot. I love the design a lot! It is called Violet, but it`s more like blue-violet, looks natural, yet really makes eyes stand out, pop, makes them more defined! I also like how the inner design dissappears and blends so well with your natural eye color.
ENLARGEMENT: 3/10 Those lenses will not give you much enlargement. They are listed as 14mm and there is a good 0,8mm between the lens border and where the design starts, so nope, not much enlargement at all.
COMFORT: 2/10 According to my sister, those are not good at all. First she was wearing them a couple hours a day and it was OK, but a bit uncomfortable, she could feel them in her eyes all the time. But then, she was not able to even put them in her eyes at all! She says they sting, they make her eyes tear up and even putting the lenses in (especially the right eye one) for taking those photos was very uncomfortable for her and she was wiping tears all the time. :/ So that is a great disappointment!! Maybe she just got a faulty pair (or one lens), or maybe they just don`t work with her eyes, but anyway, she is not really able to wear those lenses at all now. TOO BAD!!! :/
If you have good or bad experience with this lens model, please comment and let me know, if she just got a faulty pair or are most of them like this! Thank you. 

SHOP SERVICE: Pinky Paradise`s service was good, as usual. But my sister had to wait almost a month for those lenses to arrive and she was very unhappy with that. But we live in Poland, so that`s far away from PP`s location and I think it was just the post office`s fault. Pinky Paradise`s service was otherwise very good and professional. ^^*

So, I hope you liked this review. Too bad they are so uncomfortable for my sister and she cannot wear them, as I think the design of those lenses is really beautiful and OK for no makeup as well as heavy makeup (I found this photo on the left on tumblr, looks awesome, right? I`m not 100% sure those are the same lenses though!). Maybe she has a bad pair. Maybe it`s something with her eyes? I dunno, please leave feedback if tried those lenses. I hope this review helped You make a decision if you are thinking about getting those lenses. 

That is all. Thank you for reading and big love!

REVIEW: Diamond Lash - Celeb eye ダイアモンドラッシュ ☆ セレブ eye

Hello my dear blog readers~ ヽ（*＾。＾*）ノ ワ～イ First of all sorry for no updated in such a long time... I am going through some hard times right now, not feeling healthy and taking sick leave from work too!! 。・°°・(>_<)・°°・。 ウエーンI hope to get back to health soon! 

Anyway! Today I bring you a photo review of Diamond Lash light blue tray, aka VOLUME series, in Celeb eye!!! ～(*▽*～)(～*▽*)～

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

(ダイアモンドラッシュ  セレブ eye レビュー)

Photo from the official website! 

Actual lashes in the tray. 

On the eye, looking straight.

Eye closed. (I didn`t cut them) They look a lil bit shiny, but they are not IRL.

Looking all the way up!! See how crazy long they are?

And looking straight again.

ミ☆　　ミ★ REVIEW  ★彡　　☆彡

They are very long and have a nice interesting mix of thin single lashes and thick lash wisps, which creates a nice volume, but is not overly dramatic (as in drag queen lashes). However those lashes will be NOTICED right away, yet they are good for dramatic looks as well as natural looks in my opinion. They will make your eyes look really dolly. But unlike some lashes, which make you look dolly, but look somewhat natural, those are obvious fake lashes, super duper long... which is not a bad thing, but not for everyone definitely. ^^* The lash band is soft and easy to work with, also see through - which is great, and that is a standard in Diamond Lashes. I would wear them for a night out definitely, I would think twice about wearing them for daily looks, but that is because I must go to work and many places, where I don`t want to stand out that much. If you are a student of have a free life style, those are awesome for daily gyaru/dolly look! 

OVERALL: I love them, but they are very long and a bit too much for me to wear as daily lashes. But I wear them on any occasion I can! Also, people notice them right away and comment on them (like "Ohh, your lashes are soooo big today!!", etc.) 

FOTD: Missha Oriental Herbs BB cream, MAC Prolongwear concealer NC20, CHANEL eye khol, Maybeline The Falsies Volume Extreme mascara, GEO Honey Wing circle lens. 

FOTD

Wish me a lot of health and sorry for not writing so often! Love you all! <33

MAC Superglass swatches and RODIAL contest!

Hello again my darlings! :)
Today I'll post swatches and my thoughts about MAC Superglass lip glosses! I bought those two online (from strawberrynet.com), because they were never available in Polish MAC stores. (;_; ) I feel so sad when it happens (lol). Anyways! I got: MAC Superglass Cherry Electric & MAC Superglass Sugar Overload:

MAC Superglass Sugar Overload / MAC Superglass Cherry Electric

Those two glosses were a part of a limited Superglass collection and they are throughly reviewed and swatched here, by Temptalia. I ordered a neutral Sugar Overload and a cherry-red Cherry Electric. Those glosses are nice and sticky (I like sticky glosses, it means they stay on lips longer!) and have big holographic (lol?) pieces of stuff in it. (How articulate of me!) Anyway, the applicator is a rather long synthetic brush and a lot of gloss comes out. Here are more photos:

Photo with flash! And you can see, the effect is nice and shiny. The glosses stay on lips quite long, but eventually they wear off, you are left with those big chunky pieces of stuff only on your lips! : / Which kinda sucks... but I guess if you look in the mirror from time to time and see if you need to wipe your lips or add more gloss, than it's alright... I was thinking I would like the Sugar Overload color better, but the big chunky pieces in a rather see through / neutral color look funky imo... The red one looks nice on its own or over a red/pink lipstick and I love how it makes the color more cherry-red. :) 

Overall: Yeah, I like it! I like sticky sparkly gloss, I don't mind the high maintenance of this one (cause of the sparkly chunks) too much. Will I buy another one of those? Hmmmm, probably not. Will I use it and enjoy it till it runs out? Sure! :D So, if you want to try it, I hope my review helped. You can still get those from strawberrynet.com.  Glittery kisses! ;*

Also, as you can see, I put some Google ADs in my blog. How this works is, they try to put ads that match with the content of my blog here. If you see something you like and click on the ad (they all go to real pages ya'll), I will get a % of an EURO cent (lol, seriously). However, if many people click on the ads in my blog, I might even make a little bit of money from it. If noone clicks, nothing happens. Simple! You see, I am still wondering if I should keep the ads or not. Pros are I might make some cash doing nothing and spreading relevant ads. Cons, they might look not cool on my blog, readers might think I suck and never click on them anyway... XD Well. If you have an opinion about google ads in my blog, let me know! Leave or remove? Just thought I'd talk about this a little bit, so you don't feel like I'm all evil and "yeah I will secretly make millions, buahaha", cause it's just not the way this works. XDDD That is all. Take care and have a wonderful day~ v(^_^*)v

Haul from http://www.adambeauty.com/

Hello! I got my lovely order from http://www.adambeauty.com/ today, yaaay! Here's what I got.

The shipping options are either courier or standart sign on delivery shipping, which is a flat rate of 2$.  

I got: Blanchir Superior Cream Soap (125g), Blanchir Superior White Deep Clear Conditioner (special set with miniatures!), HADARABO whitening-moisturising face mask, JUJU AQUAMOIST Hyaluronic Acid Whitening & Moisture Milk, JUJU AQUAMOIST prime Q10 moisturising toner and B&C Makemania Curvy Lip Liquid lip gloss! :D I am already a fan of the Blanchir Superior line and I really recommend it for people who want moisturising but also whitening (removing blemishes faster) and anti-acne care, becasue I think it really works for acne! :D Then I got some more moisturising toners/lotions and sheet masks. And I really liked the red version of the lipgloss, so I got clear one too!! 

Moisturising toner with miniatures! Also ordered a full size face washing cream soap, which I loooove~ You can see it in the photo above, next to this set. I really like this product. And the whole series! If you have a chance, try it!

The lip gloss and Hadalabo sheet masks. :D

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

Talking about the B&C Makemania lipgloss - I really like it! But I am really crazy about lip glosses. :D This one has hyaluronic acid, grape seed oil and other moisturizing, good for your lips ingriedients! :D The other one I had was see through red, this one is clear with pearl colored sparkles, keeps lips moisturised and looking like vinyl-shiny. I like it (and the red one) on it's own (feel moisturising) and over lipstick.
