Sponsored Review (Kpop2): NEO Dali Brown

Hello lovelies! ♥
Today I will be reviewing NEO Dali Brown.

*gasp* Two review posts in two consecutive days?!
Yeah, summer just started this week and I have a lot of time on my hands ; u ; nojk I'm just not doing the stuff I should be doing right now L-LOL;;

Picture credit: N/A

These lenses were kindly sponsored by Kpop2.
Kpop2 is the best store for super cheap circle lenses! They have a whole category for lenses around $10 a pair~ When you visit their website, don't be fooled by the diameters. The diameter in the title of each circle lens, is its graphic diameter (meaning, how big the actual design is). I find this more helpful than the typical lens diameter because you can have a 15.0 mm lens diameter, with only a 14.5 mm graphic diameter which can really trick you when you're looking for something enlarging!
With quick service, kind staff, a huge variety of lenses to choose from, and really quick shipping (I received my package in 5 days, and they're based in Korea!), Kpop2 will be my go-to whenever I want to purchase circle lenses.

Information:
Lens Diameter: 14.2 mm
Graphic Diameter: 13.3 mm
Water Content: 45%
Base Curve: 8.6 mm
Type: 1 year disposal

Price:
$11+free shipping at Kpop2

Review: ROHTO Lycée Eye Drops (for contact lens)

Hello everyone!
Today I will be reviewing ROHTO's Lycée Eye Drops (for contact lens).

Picture Credit: http://japanbeauty.ecrater.com
ROHTO is really famous for their burning cooling effect eye drops, and I was really curious so I went ahead and bought one! I believe the strongest eye drop from ROHTO is Z!, and the least strongest is the Lycée.
I first heard about ROHTO from one of my favorite blogs, ekiBlog

Nozomi Sasaki is the spokesperson for these eye drops. Isn't the commercial really cute? ♥

International Giveaway: First Monthiversary / TY 50+ Followers ♥

Hello dears!

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time to comment on my blogposts, followed my blog, and supported me as a noob to the blogsphere. This blog is the first blog that I've ever created with the exception of tumblr (which I don't really consider a blog since most people just reblog photos haha;;) so I really appreciate the patience that some of the more experienced bloggers have shown me. 

In three days, it will be the date of my first monthiversary on Blogspot, and I'd like to take this opportunity to give back to you all! 

I'll be reviewing each item soon, but I have multiples of each product so the items that will be sent out   are brand new. If you guys happen to be wondering how I got my hands on so many samples and products, it's because some of them are free from online shopping and have accumulated over the past few months. Some are also sent to me by my grandmother who lives in Korea (she always sends multiples so that my mother and I can share haha...I have like twenty five sheet masks all aloe, green tea, and tea tree orz;;) And then all the LANEIGE samples are stolen from the local Hmart L-LOL (it said to take one sample, but I came like everyday so technically I did take one per each trip? haha~) The rest were purchased with my own money c:

Alright, without further ado, let's see what you can win~

WISHtrend: The Hub of Korean Beauty Secrets

Hello lovelies!

Fun fact: did you know that South Korea is about twelve years ahead of the US in terms of skincare technology? That's right! TWELVE YEARS. Amazing right?
That's why a majority of Koreans have flawless skin, and why all my skincare products are imported from South Korea!

Sadly, there are people all over the world who want to achieve flawless skin and cannot get their hands on products in Korea.
But I've found the solution: WISHtrend
