LOL sorry for holding up the Dior sunscreen and Holika Holika BB cream. Took these pics for Instagram, but then they happen to work for this post too HAHAHA. The point for that Instagram post is, Diorsnow sunscreen makes every foundation look HD. Lol.

To be honest, I think I'm kind of over color lenses... unless I can find a pair that are truly truly comfortable, I really have no intention to torture myself O.O



Do you guys like color lenses? Sometimes I like them (and I LOVED these grey ones when I first got them), sometimes I think I look creepy with them. Especially now I think I just prefer my eyes the way they are O_O  I is getting old. HAHAHA.


對瞳孔變色片/放大片只能說是短暫的喜愛 O_O 可能是上了年紀了(哈哈) 最近覺得還是什麼都沒戴比較好看XD

以上~ 隱形眼鏡分享完畢!

Soleco Color Lenses Review (Brown) [舒麗康] 彩色日拋軟性隱形眼鏡 (褐)

Hello!

SAM_0741

Bringing you my last round of review for circle lenses lol.

Got these last winter when I was in Taiwan. Not sure where else you can buy them. But if you like the look/effect, just look for similar design :)

既然是台灣的牌子~ 文末會用中文寫一下心得! 反正照片也沒啥好解釋的 XD


No lenses

I think out of the three brands I tried, these are by far the softest/thinnest, but the most hard to wear because of how soft they are. That said, I can still feel them -_- still drying and irritating, but less so compared to the other two brands.

It looks super obvious that I'm wearing color lenses here in photos... but in real life... for some reason none of my friends/family ever noticed any difference -_- oh well. As long I know there's a difference T^T

I really like the design/effect of those! I think they give a nice effect but not over the top. Although I prefer the grey ones better. Will show them in the next post.

好了~ 中文來了!
老實說, 本姑娘這生中目前只試過三副瞳孔變色片 (其他兩牌都是韓國的). 因為沒有戴隱形眼鏡所以老實說我真的不曉得怎麼樣算舒服? 只能說我目前的經驗就是永遠都感覺得到它們的存在. 舒麗康的我有戴過一整天啦! 可是老實講我真的很不喜歡戴隱形眼鏡/瞳孔放大片/變色片的感覺. 眼睛真的會乾. 不蘇胡 QQ 但是是可以接受(忍受?!) 的程度. 還可以??

沒錯. 是篇沒用的分享文. 哈哈哈. 說推薦也不推薦, 說不推薦好像也沒那麼慘. 個人覺得設計挺不錯的這點我喜番~ 可是年紀越大真的越覺得舒適度重要度位居第一!!! 所以不會回購. 嗯. 應該是這樣.

喔對了, 我其實有買灰色的. 個人覺得灰色比較好看. 下次再PO照片. 


以上~沒意義的分享文結束! XD

Innisfree Smart Foundation (Super Moisture) Review

Yo!

So I know I did a little review on Instagram already on this foundation
May I introduce my current favorite foundation 😊 the Innisfree Smart Foundation-- Super Moisture. I tried it out once last year but for some reason thought it was just nice but wasn't too crazy about it. Started using it regularly since mid-April and I've been loving it 💕💕💕 like I look forward to using it every day 😍 first, I LOVE how it only has 15ml... Honestly the standard 30ml is too much for me 😂 I like to switch up my foundations so this is the perfect size. Coverage-wise... It's light. I would probably compare it to Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation (YSL Touché Éclat definitely has much more coverage). Even though it's Super Moisture... It doesn't make me oily, and wears really well throughout the day (with or without my sunscreen). The finish is dewy and super skin-like... I think that's why I love it so much. I'm thinking I might be enjoying this foundation so much more this time around because my skin has been really really good this year since I started eating pretty clean, so I prefer light coverage foundations now. Haven't tried the Long Lasting or the Water Balancing ones. Didn't buy the Perfect Cover one cuz I heard it's really thick and impossible to blend. By the way... Each foundation is $6. CAN'T BEAT THAT PRICE!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍 #innisfree #smartfoundation #foundation #makeup #review #instareview #beautyblogger #bblogger #koreanmakeup #cheapandcheerful

But! A review WITH PICTURES is in order to do this foundation justice =P

Still haven't tried out the other two... I'll get there haha.

Got mine from Innisfreeworld.com but it's not there anymore O_O the other smart foundations are though. Maybe it's just temporarily out of stock?? I hope it's not discontinued O_____O

My shade for Innisfree is #23

How do I describe this... it's a gel-like texture, but sticky gel? The closest thing I can compare it to is the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua (which I gave away to a friend cuz I don't use it and she loves it) but Innisfree is stickier/more moist. Please understand I'm not saying the two foundations are similar because they're not. Chanel VA also dries to a semi-matte/satin finish, while Innisfree has a dewy finish.

It's a dewy look ^_^ you guys can probably tell I'm really into dewy look these days. I feel like dewy complexion really does take years off your face. Haha.

SAM_1016
I know I mentioned in my Instagram review that it's super skin-like. Well maybe not because it makes your skin extra glowy so you know that there's something on the face XD but you can't deny it blends into the skin super well.

This works well with both my Anessa and Dior sunscreen. I have to say I noticed not all of my foundations look great with my Anessa sunscreen... but this foundation pairs extremely well with both. It just adheres to skin so well so I think that's why it's extra forgiving.

Not much to say. You guys already know I adore this foundation. It looks natural, wears well, doesn't make me extra oily even though it's "super moisture". Honestly, I've got nothing to pick on-- this puts a lot of high end, expensive foundations to shame in my opinion. The only thing I can think why ppl wouldn't like this foundation would be it does have a slightly stickier finish. But nothing a little bit of setting powder won't fix. I don't normally powder because it's not that bad.

Conclusion? Best $6 spent!
