Cheap Buys From the Streets of Quiapo :)

BERRY COOL NOTEBOOK & A SUNFLOWER PEN

Last Friday, i bought these 2 cute little things in the streets of Quiapo. FYI, Quiapo is a place near Sta. Cruz,Manila where it is known for it's market and also the Quiapo Church. It's Church is known by most Filipinos, may it be a devotee or not of Quiapo Church. Some people said that there's a miracle once you become a devotee of this Church especially the Black Nazarene Statue.

Okay, so here's a photo of the stuff I bought there.



I love the Sunflower Pen 'cos it has spring underneath the flower itself so it bounces when you're using the pen...And i like it! Am I that shallow?! LOL
And the Berry Cool Notebook caught my attention because of it's cute design, which i think is "Strawberry Shortcake", If I'm not mistaken.

All in all I bought these 2 cuties for only 20 PESOS (PHP).. Yes! 20-PHP Only ;)

If I still have an extra time, i would probably go back. But for those who would like to explore Quiapo Street, just be extra careful 'cos it's quite dangerous for some. It's much better if you would be accompanied by someone who's more familiar of Quiapo :)

NYX Round Lipstick in Frappucino



NYX Round Lipstick in Frappucino (LSS-632)

I'm so sorry for not posting for a long time. I'm quite busy with my online business and my family. The Holidays also made me and my family quite busy (-_-) And speaking of Holidays, it's that time of the year when you would probably be broke after! Bought gifts for my godchildren (BTW, I have 5 godchildren!)..Bought clothes for my little brother, my son and a whole lot more! 

Now, on to the NYX Round lipstick.. I'll make a review about the LSS-632 or most commonly know as NYX Round lipstick in Frappucino :) At first, I'm quite hesitant to try Round Lipsticks although I've read a lot of reviews on the net that it's a great product. I'm not really a fan of cream lipsticks 'cos I hate it when I my hair sticks on my lips. I usually like to dab some powder on my lips after putting lipstick. 
But for this product, I would say, I'll make an exemption (^_^) Because I really love it's shade. I can describe it as beigy-brownish-nude lipstick. One more thing that I love is when I apply this lipstick is that It glides on so smoothly.. and yes It's creamy! The smell is not so over the top. It's just right for me. I think It has a flowery scent. 
It's also very pigmented! It gives a great color pay-ff!
Next thing is that it's not drying at all, in fact i felt like it's hydrating.
One negative thing about it..? I think It's not that long-lasting..because of it's cream finish,  It's hard to avoid of the smudge tendencies. So when i'm wearing it, I'm trying my best to avoid on smudging it or I might end up having a messy face (0_o)
But I guess, you just have to be careful when wearing lipsticks.
All in all it's a great buy for 200 PHP ($4 USD) price.


As what you can see on the photo, It's very creamy! Right?

You can buy this for PRE ORDER at Going Lolita Online Shop

GEO WMI-245 Review

GEO WMI-245 (Sugar Gray) REVIEW

LENS DETAILS:

Manufacturer; GEO Medical Ltd.Co.
Diameter : 15.0mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.7mm
Life Span : 1 year disposable





At first, I don't really know what design to choose 'coz now there's plenty of new GEO designs to choose from. I'm kind of curious what a 15mm lens would look like when I wear it. So landed buying WMI-245 Gray for me which i thought will look natural  on me. My eyes are dark brown so, i think it will blend my eyes well.

So here's the photos of GEO WMI-245:


And here's a closer look:



Well honestly, for me it does look a little strange if worn with no eye make up. 
But these lenses really gave the big eye effect, I mean, just look at the photo of my eyes with one lens in (0_o)
And for me, it's quite comfortable to wear. But I must say, i had a hard time inserting the lens on my eyes because I need to open them really wide. My eyes are a little bit small, as you can see the whole part of the lens is not shown because the top part of it is almost covered by my lids, so these lenses are definitely big in size.

I also have these shots of the lens with eye-make up on..



I love these lenses with eye make up on. I love that they really boost up or brightens up the face especially with an eyeliner and a mascara it really looks perfect for me.

Here's a photo of me wearing the lenses with make-up on and one with no make up :)



FINAL VERDICT:

Pros: 
- very noticeable enlargement effect
-subtle gray

Cons:
- a bit unnatural with no eye make-up

Enlarging: 10 / 10 These are 15mm so they've done a great job on the enlarging effect :)

Design: 8/ 10 I like the design coz it really blends well with my eyes

Comfort: 9 / 10 It's comfortable the first time I put the lenses on. And It'll take about 4-5 hours before needing an eye lubricant.
