[Sponsored Review]: Eye Coolers from eyecandy

Right now in my room, I am feeling the heat from spring. This heat doesn't feel like spring but rather feel more like summer. It's very hot now. When it's hot, I like to cool down my face with cold stuff. Remember in one the post, I talked about that smoothing eye mask? I now found something very similar to it that actually fits my eye.

Product Descrition
eyecandy smoothing eye coolers are reusable, chill-able, candy-colored soft get rounds which work quickly to reduce puffiness, minimize dark circles and fine lines, and instantly soothe pesky tension or stress headache.

Colors/Styles
eyecandy coolers sets come in four styles- Classic Chillin' Cucumber, Sugared Ice Blue, Tart 'n Tangy Tangerine, and Cotton Candy Pink.

Packaging
The soft gel rounds are packaged in a reusable, zippered plastic pouch for east storage and travel, and then tucked inside an adorable blue and green pillow-box.

Why People Love Them
  • An affordable and unique new gift idea
  • Easy to take and use anywhere
  • Wipe Clean with soap and water
  • No bothersome eye mask straps
  • Soothing remedy for puffy, sensitive, allergy-eyes
  • A great excuse to steal some personal "me" time

FOTD: Spring Green + Purple featuring Wet n Wild Trio Palette "Cool As A Cucumber"

Today's FOTD's theme is Spring Green. Since spring is here, let's add some green to the eyes. I am using the Wet n Wild Trio Palette in "Cool As A Cucumber" that I won from a giveaway. This is a very simple eye look that everyone can do using this palette or similar color.

Here we go!!

This was Mr. L's 26th birthday dinner at The Cheesecake Factory

Cocktail we order. I totally forgot the name of this. I think it's strawberry and mango cocktail. Don't remember what alcohol was in this. Ha-ha!

Itchy Itchy Hair & Scalp

Can't believe that it's already spring now. Since the change of season, my scalp has been quite itchy lately. My dandruff is slowly going away but I am facing another hair problem now.

Anyone know of a good moisturize shampoo and conditioner?

Review: Korean Long NY Red Shirt from AngelLoveDevil

I don't think I tell you guy this, but I really like wearing Asian style clothing, as you can see, I am 100% Asian! I am always looking online to find Asian style clothing for a reasonable price. Sometimes, the quality will be okay but sometimes, it can be very bad. Anyways, what you pay is what you get but I always like to shop clothing in the lowest possible price I can find. Finding a bargain of clothing with good quality and low price is what makes me very happy.

Recently, I found an online store that sells this type of clothing for a very reasonable price.

Review: CitySlips Foldable Ballet Flats w/ Carrying Case

Ladies, do you love wearing heels? Are your legs always sore when standing too long in heels? If yes, then I found a product for you.

I just started to wear heels now as it does make the curve in my leg looks better and slimmer. The thing I don't really like wearing heel that often because whenever I stand too long, I will feel tired and want to take it off. Now I don't find that a problem because of these foldable ballet flats.

Um...Gelato Anyone?

I haven't had gelato for quite some time. When I was walking to the convenient store to get some snacks, I suddenly wanted to eat some gelato. I remember a gelato store nearby so Shar and I walked there.

The store name is called Gelateria Naia, which is located in North Beach. It's a very modern looking store that sells yummy gelato. 

The flavors that we chose are Chocolate Malt and Pistachio.


 Inside the store

Review: Kao Odorless Steam Eye Mask

I bought this eye mask last month when I went to Misuwa Market to get some snacks. It was on sale so I thought I might give this a try since I really need a relaxing eye mask at night. 

I think this was originally around $10 for a box of 5 pieces but I got it for about $8! I think it was a great deal that I saved $2! I am the type of person who calculates every bit of thing before buying it. Then in the end, I end up not buying it so you could say I am good at saving money. Ha-ha!

Kao sell three different type of this steam eye mask: lavender, chamomile, and odorless. The one I bought was odorless.

OOTD + Relaxing for just a day

Today's raining again! I still can't believe it's still raining in March. I need some spring warmth now! I demand it! 

Do you know what should you do on a cold day like this one? No right??! It's going in a big hot tub and going in the sauna. My family (all women, of course!) and I went to this place called "The Hot Tub". It's a place where you sit and relax in a big hot tub or go steam some sauna! The place is very nice and clean. The staff is very friendly too!

NOTD: Sinful Colors "Mint Apple"


Since today is St. Patrick's Day, I have painted my nails green. This is Sinful Colors "Mint Apple". I bought this a couple weeks ago and this is my first time using this color. I think it's a gorgeous color with shimmer in it. 

As you can see in the photo, the color didn't come out as clear as I wanted them to be; therefore, you cannot even see the shimmer in it. I'll try to post a more focus and clear photo next time!

Happy Green Green Day!

Review: Model 21 Eyelashes

If you have been following me on this blog, you will know that I never put any false lashes on when taking picture for anything. That is because I still didn't master the applying false lashes technique yet. I tried thousand millionth time to apply it but I always mess up with the glue. It seems like the lash glue had some kind of grudge on me. 

When I receive these lashes for review, I was so happy because they are very easy to use. It's great for beginner like me to practice with because with an affordable price you get a box of 10 pairs of lashes to use! I am amazed about the quality of these lashes.

Review: Rosebud Perfume Co. Smith's Rosebud Salve and Lip balms

I was sent these 4 products from Rosebud Perfume Co., including their best-selling Smith's Rosebud Salve to review.

I always heard great things about Smith's Rosebud Salve but never try it because the original packaging of it was in a tin can. I don't like to always use my finger to apply but now they have the product in a tube! I am very eager to try.

Who is Rosebud Perfume Co.?
Founded in 1892, the Rosebud Perfume Company set out with a simple mission: To provide simple, multi-usage products that are both affordable and effective. With the creation of the world famous, cult-favorite Rosebud Salve that boasts to be the cure-all for a wide array of skin ailments from blemishes to chapped lips to dry elbows, the family run Rosebud Perfume Company has solidified its place in cosmetic history.

My White Valentines Day

Yesterday was indeed White Valentine's Day. It's not a popular day here but I think it is in Japan. On Valentine's Day, girls are suppose to give chocolate to the guy they like or to the people they want. On White Valentine's Day, it's the guy turn to give chocolate back and give response to the girl who gave them chocolate on Valentine's Day.

Mr. L surprised me with chocolates yesterday but of course, he didn't make it himself. He also got me the blush I wanted, which is the Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush.

I want to say thank you for giving me a great night filled with laughter and food. Even though, I had a terrible tummy ache after I got home, but I am still grateful for what he's done for me.
I Love You, Mr. L!

Sorry for the lack of post

By the way, I reached 100th posts. Finally, I made it there and hope to blog more this year.

Sorry for the lack of post this week due to the fact that I got some bacterial infection on my right eye. It was all puffed and swollen red couple days ago; therefore, I cannot put on makeup on my eye until it's fully healed. Luckily the eye drop and the ointment I bought works. I think the main reason for that infection was probably my fault for being in front of the computer for too long. 

I am making a goal to myself this spring to stay away from the computer whenever I don't need to do something important. I need to start getting back in shape too by doing more exercise such as running, When those big load of fats are coming out to say "Hello", you know it's time to be healthier and back in shape. 

Anyways, what's your goal for this year?
