Where to Store Your Circle Lens Vials!

Hi, everyone!

Here's a cheap and really easy way to store your circle lens vials!

Can you guess how?


This is actually a...

Cigar box!

w w w No, I don't smoke
But the boxes look super pretty!!

Many stores throw away the cigar boxes once they are empty
So I suggest asking one of the employees if there are any empty boxes that can be taken

I got mine for free
Since they don't reuse them in the store anyway

Make sure the store is safe and reliable though
Please do not go out to any liquor market

It was a little scary, so I had Outosan ask for me



New Makeup Style (Photo Heavy Post)


Originally, I wanted to copy Tsubasa Masuwaka
But then I added a little flare of fashion from Ageha Magazine!!

I think it looks pretty nice
I used a lot of eyeliner for this

It almost reminds me of those pretty European dolls
I used to keep them in my room when I was a little girl w w


This was when I was getting my hair ready
Funny face w w w w
I curl my hair with a straightener so I can get waves and volume instead of ringlets


I used my diamond lashes today
They're really thick and not really as soft as I hoped they would be
But that's alright


Basically
I draw on my lower lashes with eyeliner

I'm also wearing my Bambi lens


At the end of the photo session
I wiped everything off and just put this on
w w Not even looking the same
So plain..

I'll update a little later

Bye-bye!

New Shop Site!

I've finally expanded 
From Blogger to open up my circle lens shop on Tumblr!


Please come and check it out!


Kozue's Blog Post on Tumblr About Alibaba/AliExpress


Good afternoon (haha, it's already day)!
My good friend, Kozu, sent me a post she wrote not too long ago regarding the Chinese wholesale place: Alibaba and AliExpress.

Please read it! I think this is very important for those who buy online!

Thanks, Kozu, for showing me this!

Topic: Alibaba and AliExpress.com - Are They A Fraud?

Yes!
PLEASE! Do not use these sites to buy things from!
Years ago, I used to use this market to buy things from. Nowadays, there are many marketers who will do anything to get your money. They may send you the products, but many of what I’ve received in the past are fake.
For one example, when I paid for a transaction online, I used PayPal, which protected me from my credit card being hacked or broken into.
In another case (as I like to try things out), I used a trial bank account and credit card to pay for a small pair of circle lens (the vendor’s company was called “Party Kingdom” and the seller is Sharon Chen). When I received my product, there was no verification code on the lens vials. After much research and comparing these lens vials with others I had, they turned out to be a fraud! I filed a cancellation and a refund, sending back the lens and they did make it to the vendor again. They refunded my money, which was fine… until two days ago.
My bank account did not notify me until I went to the ATM to deposit my hard earned money from a Face Trade I made the day before. I swiped my card, punched in my PIN… The ATM told me to call Customer Services right away. After doing so, I found out that someone had been using my card to pay for hotels, motels, and even receiving payments from other people!
I had this mess cleared up after learning this; I cancelled my credit card for a new one and went through a whole mess of receipts to verify who I was. I found it strange that my bank didn’t tell me these purchases. I check my bank account online everyday during the afternoon for about 10 minutes or so. But my money was rapidly being spent and it concerned me.
So,
Please do NOT use Alibaba or AliExpress for any purchases!
The market site has been corrupted and many people have filed complaints and many others do not know and end up in a situation like this one.

Today Is...

I survived the running track today!
w w w
I almost died because of the heat
I grew up in a very cold place w

My ordered books came today
I got a notification in the morning
Now I can read something new

On a completely different note,
I noticed a lot of girls are interested in circle lens at my school!
I'm the only one who wears circle lens
On a daily basis!
Shocking, I think...

Hopefully
I'm thinking about purchasing some MX21 Black lens soon
Does anyone have pictures or reviews on MX21 Black?
I would like to see them before purchasing~

Here are my choices for new circle lens:
1) MX21 Black
2) NEO Chagall
3) Hyper Platinum Brown

I want to see reviews on all of these
But I can't find any (;A;)
Any help?

Which one should I get?

Outosan and I decided to explore the city around us
But by the time we returned
It was already dark outside!! w w w

On another note,
I've got to run this week (QAQ)

Please help support me
My coach is very strict and won't let anyone pass without completing the running track

Makeup...

Recently
Somebody asked me,
"What is your makeup routine like? I want to know!!"

So today I'm going to show you! 

Before we start, I want to tell you that I have one parallel eyelid and one tapered to nearly monolid
I'm going to use my parallel eyelid for this makeup tutorial because you can see the makeup better and not be distracted by the eyelid tape I usually use for my tapered/monolid

I apologize
The pictures aren't good quality...

First, I spread BB cream all over my face w w

Then I use a mousse concealer and a nicely pact powder that is a little lighter than my natural skin tone

I bought all my new daily makeup in Los Angeles when I went to visit~

I'm using a very natural palette of eye shadows from Elf
It was only about 80 yen or so
Cheap, huh? \(^_^)/

I'm going to use numbers like this so you can follow me

I'm wearing Walkure Brown lens in 14.5mm diameter as of this week


Using shadow 1
I apply it across my entire eyelid
Then I use shadow 4 and apply it on top of the shadow I already have on my eyelid


Now, I use shadow 2 and apply it to the outer corner of my eyelid (1/3 of my eye)
I also apply it on the outer corner of my lower eyelid, or water line (1/3 of of my eye)
I've got to make sure not to get it into my eye or it'll cause pain or discomfort!!

Time for some black eyeliner!
This is an American brand of eyeliner called L.A. Girls
I'm using their series of pen eyeliners called Fineline
I believe it only cost me 480 yen
w w w I'm so cheap!


Using my eyeliner, I follow my eye shape and draw a long line on my upper eyelid
I don't flare the ends!!!

I also put a little line of eyeliner along my tear duct
The eyeliner lines I make are very thin w

Next is mascara!
I don't usually put on mascara first because when I'm putting on the eyeliner, my eyelashes get in the way ||orz

I like this double extend mascara a bit more than the usual mascara because it has two coats of mascara
The first coat is white and the second one is pure black
I curl my lashes before putting on mascara.. then I curl it again after the mascara dries
I got this for about 800 yen


First coat
Looks interesting, yeah?


Second coat!!
And we're done with the eyes!

Most of the time, I add a lot of layers to my bottom lashes
That way, they can stand out a lot more

Now
All I need to do now is apply highlighting powder a little along my tear duct and the bottoms of my eyes,
I fill in my eyebrows with a Milk Tea Brown eyebrow pencil and powder it with shadow 2
I also contour my nose with shadow 4
And then I apply blush diagonally on my cheekbones

So that's my daily routine~

Here's the difference

It almost looks 200% bigger!!

(I'm wearing my 14.2mm Angel Color Chocolate Brown lens in this picture)

Thanks for reading!
I hope you enjoyed watching my daily routine w w

See you next time!
