Belo Essentials Night Therapy Whitening Vitamin Cream


This is another whitening cream that I bought from the Philippines. The brand Belo is quite well known and very popular there. I did want some type of whitening night cream so that I have something that works whitening through the night. I also wanted a different type of whitening product in case the whitening face washes don't work very well.
"A nutrient-rich overnight cream that nourishes and revitalizes skin as you sleep. With fruit extracts that inhibit the formation of free radicals. Pentavitin and skin vitamins for longer lasting moisture.  and the powerful combination of Glutathione, Kojic Acid, and Gigawhite for maximum whitening power. Visibly whitens in just 7 days!"
Anyway, this product claims to be hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested.



So this product has mixed reviews from me. As a whitener, it is a total flop. It did not make my face any lighter at all. I expected so much more from a Belo product since everyone in my family just raves about the Belo brand. However, as a night cream, this product is amazing. It has moisturized and nourished my skin through this terribly dry winter. I have made it a habit to put it on right after I shower. It makes my skin nice and soft and also leaves a layer when it dries to protect the skin. This layer isn't noticeable at all, nor does it feel oily. In fact, it is only noticeable how much product is on the face when you wash the face with water and it starts to become oily. When dry though, I can't even feel that it is there. Also, it has not caused me to break out whatsoever. As a whitener, I would not recommend this if you want results. As a moisturizer and night cream, I would definitely recommend.

Pokemon Y Team


Seriously, the only reason I bought a 3DS was in anticipation of this game. I mean, Animal Crossing is nice too but let's face it, I'm a Pokemon fanatic. I was so excited for this game with the whole 3D gameplay. The whole perception of the game is different and there were just so many differences from the older games. You thought the Gen5 games were a leap from the original? This Gen6 game is just a totally different thing to get used to. Still, I really love the changes. For once, I am able to customise my trainer! I mean, this was something that they really needed to do for a while. I'm glad it finally happened.







Once again, getting used to these new changes is getting harder to deal with as I get older. However, I really love this new generation. I love the whole French theme. As usual, I have all three starters. All of them are traded except for my starter and legendary. This game was ridiculously easy to level up in. Anyone else want to show me what their pokemon x/y team is like?

Dolly Eye Puffy 3 Tone Grey


I was initially attracted to these lenses because they look exactly like Barbie Puffy 3 Tone Grey, which are lenses that I absolutely loved. I really wanted to see the difference between the two lenses and see which one I would like better. No, I did not make a mistake in my pictures. When I ordered them, I was sent these Belita lenses. I don't know if they are the same thing but the lenses seem to look the same.




Uniqso always has such cute packaging. I always plan my orders so that I can have free standard shipping. They arrive usually in 3-4 weeks and always come with a tracking number. The lens containers are safely insulated within the boxes. I am a loyal customer to Uniqso because they have great customer service and always respond quickly to my messages.




I do have a positive customer service story to tell. When I first got these lenses, I do believe one of them was defective. One lens just hurt so much on my eye even though I had cleaned it and well hydrated it overnight with solution. The other lens was just fine and very comfortable but that particular defective lens just hurt. When examined, there wasn't really anything wrong to be seen, mostly just felt. I sent Uniqso an email about the defective lens and they answered me the next day. They asked me to give them a picture of the defective lens cut in half, so I did. They replied that a replacement lens will be sent to me and after 3-4 weeks, my replacement lens arrived free of charge. I did not encounter any sort of hassle whatsoever. The new bottle they sent me is Dolly Eye, which is different from what they sent me the first time. I thought that was very weird but the lenses look exactly the same anyway.



The Dolly Eye brand is part of the bigger, better known brand EOS. The Dolly Eye Puffy 3 Tone Grey lenses have a base curve of 8.6 mm and a diameter of 14.5 mm. The water content is 38% and the replacement period is 12 months. These are considered 3 tone, obviously because it's part of the name. The price is $17.90 per pair, which is cheaper than most lenses. The lenses are available from plano to -10.00. The Dolly Eye Puffy 3 tone series is available in other colors such as blue, brown, green, pink, and violet.



Color&Design
The color is just gorgeous. It is pretty much the same as the Barbie Puffy 3 tone lenses that I have reviewed before. The gold colors in the middle blend seamlessly into the lighter grey. It does not ave a distinctive limbal ring but does have a darker grey outer rim. The color is so opaque on brown eyes. If you want a great color payoff, then these lenses are for you!


Enlargement
These are not the largest lenses around, nor do they have the most enlarging effect compared to some other lenses of the same diameter (14.5mm). In terms of enlargement, these are a lot more natural than other lenses. They can be worn naturally without makeup. They don't make me look all scary and alien-ish without makeup.


Comfort
These contacts are extremely comfortable. I could wear them all day without my eyes getting dry or starting to hurt. I have pretty long days so I would say on a typical school day, I wear them around 14 hours. Usually around the 14th hour, it does start to get dry, but that's normal.



Overall
These are perfect lenses for everyday wear. They give me such wonderful opaque color and enlargement without looking too unnatural. They look great with little to no makeup. They are perfect for making me look nice for my lazy days at school. It's kind of a dolly-without-really-trying look. These puffy lenses are definitely my favorite.


Expect more circle lens reviews to come! I ordered quite a haul from Uniqso for my birthday. I ordered six lenses for only $80.45 with free shipping! Quite a steal, don't you think? If you plan on ordering from Uniqso, enter my friend's discount code "SUY10" for 10% off your purchase. With that discount code, my member points, and Uniqso's monthly promotions, I was able to get $30.50 off the original price of my order! Uniqso really is my go-to place for cheap circle lenses.

Smashbox Wondervision Eye Set "Sparks" MOTD


I mentioned before that I had received this really nice makeup set from a good friend for Christmas. It's called the Smashbox Wondervision Eye Set. This set comes with with a small compact palette with six colors, a pencil eyeliner, and mascara. It also comes with three cards that have instructions on how to create a look. These used to be sold at ULTA during the holidays but they seem to not be sold there anymore. Although, I think you can still buy it elsewhere and online in some places. There are two other sets in the Wondervision series: flash and cosmic. Flash has purples and pinks and grey while Cosmic has blues and greys. Sparks is pretty much all browns and golds, which is why it is my favorite.




The colors of this palette are Bare (Matte Peach), Peach (Soft Shimmery Peach), Gold (Shimmery Copper), Coral (Pink with Gold Pearl), Bronze (Golden Brown Shimmer), and Cocoa (Rich Dark Brown). In this look, I used "Bare" below my brows and underneath my eyes to cover up my dark circles. This color actually blends with my natural skin tone pretty perfectly. I then used "Coral" for our crease. For the inner corners of my eye, I used "Peach" and also swept on the inner half of my under eye. For my lid, I used "Gold" for the middle one-third and "Bronze" for the outer one-third. Lastly, I used "Cocoa" to create an outer V and also extending it underneath to color the outer half of my under eye.




This palette reminds me so much of Summer. I then just used some black liquid liner. For my lips, I used Revlon Just Bitten lipstain "Desire" and Lorac Sweet Temptations Gloss to finish the look. I enjoyed taking all these selfies with this makeup because it was so pretty. Lots of face spam in this post. Not to mention, I've mastered the deer-in-headlights and duck face poses. I'd love to see looks using the other eye sets. Anyone else get them?

My Chocolate Iphone 4s

As I mentioned before in a previous post, I was given an Iphone 4S for Christmas just to play around with. It was my mom's old phone and it is currently being kept as our backup phone but I am able to keep it with me to play games and things. It doesn't have any cellphone service but it works well enough on wifi. As usual, I like to decorate my phones according to a theme. This phone's theme is chocolate!

Purchased at: ebay
Seller: tradeallday1985
Price: $5.17 + Free Shipping


This phone is made of silicone so it is nice and flexible. I love how i has textured edges and it does cover those corners on the phone, which I am notorious for denting. It's actually pretty thick and I have to take the case off to be able to charge the phone. The cupcake dust plug is from my aunt's shop Bedazzle Accessories. I did mention it before in a previous post. It is so adorable and even has little sprinkles on it!



These backgrounds, I obtained from this app called Cocoppa. They have a large selection of cute backgrounds as well as icon pictures. The top picture is the background for my screen with all my apps while the bottom picture is for my lock screen.





These are some screenshots of my screens. I did try to change the icons to something chocolate themed but I didn't like how that worked. I'm really proud of how delicious I've made this iphone look! It looks good enough to eat. The only thing I would have liked to add was a cute button sticker but I couldn't find a good chocolate themed one that was at a reasonable price. Oh well, if I ever find one, I could always get it later.
