Review: HEROINE MAKE Smooth Liquid Eyeliner
 |
| Packaging is simple, nothing too fancy. |
 |
| Super-Fine Tip!! |
 |
| Only on stroke, top was a bit messed up. Second one was a fine stroke, and Third was swatched with a bit more pressure to show how thick you can draw your lines. |

| 9:19 PM, What my make-up looks like after. Eyeliner still dark, and I purposely did not retouch it through-out the day. I had school that day.. so lots of yawning being done! |

DESCRIPTION FROM SASA:
Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner has a new and strong waterproof function, which can effectively act against tears, water, sweat or sebum on your face. The function is very long-lasting and has a precise contouring. The 0.1mm extreme fine point allows you draw precise and beautiful eyeliners every single time.
It is an excellent all-around product in which the incredibly fine point can help you freely sketch an inner eyeliner, where color is deep and black, brilliant and bright. The eye power can be immediately doubled. Kiss Me Smooth Liquid Eyeliner dries very quickly, so it can help you make a perfect look no matter how busy your mornings are. It is superiorly waterproof, anti-tear, anti-sweat, sebum resistant and totally waterproof. The color is long-lasting and is easy to use. Everyone can easily draw perfect eyeliner.
PROS:
- Super fine tip
- It's in a pen form (my favourite kind)
- Brush Tip applicator not felt!
- Stays on through-out the day
- Pigmented
- Does not smudge when I tear (especially after I yawn)
- Doesn't transfer down to my lower lash-line
- Convenient and travel-friendly
CONS:
- Pricier than the regular drugstore eyeliner (BUT SO WORTH IT)
- Might be hard to find in stores since it is a Japanese brand
- Is not actually waterproof
OVERALL RATING OUT OF 5:
♥♥♥♥♥
SUPER RECOMMEND THIS EYELINER
if you can get your hands on it that is. I got mine for about $22 CAD at an Asian store in my mall. I believe it's about the same price if I had bought it off SASA if I included shipping and tax. Despite its pricey-ness, the benefits outweigh the costs in my opinion. I have tried a ton of drugstore pen liquid-eyeliners, including Maybelline's Master Precise, NYX Skinny Felt Pen, L'oreal's Infallible 12HR Liquid Pen, Revlon's Colorstay, Physician's Formula Eyebooster and Topshop's Liquid Pen Line. I realized that felt tip pens (except for physician's formula, but it wasn't very pigmented or long-lasting in my opinion) dry out a lot quicker than brush tip pens, and also do not provide very great precision because of the felt tip.
I was almost about to buy the Kat Von D's Tattoo Eyeliner, but I opted for a Japanese one just because I felt like the more expensive Asian make-up products really do perform very well, even some of the drugstore brands they carry. Although I could just get a regular liquid liner, I PREFER PEN LIQUID LINERS because of convenience and ease!
On the subject that it is not actually waterproof as it claims to be, it does however hold up against tears (I know because I always tear up after I yawn), sebum, and sweat. I've always had a problem with all of my eyeliners prior to Kiss Me, smudging and transferring on to my lower lash-line.. so I end up looking as if I have major eye-bags, not enough sleep, or just looking like a panda (angry). But as for water with direct contact, it does fade a bit, and if you just rub it a bit it will smudge. Which I do not mind too much, it just makes it easier to remove after in the shower. It comes off with warm water and light rubbing. I doubt it will come off or smudge a lot when it rains.

Review: Neo Dali Brown Circle Lens
Hey guys, so this is a very very veryyy brief review of the lenses, so no comparison photos with other lenses and lighting, and I forgot to take pictures without lenses... >___< if you guys really want them, just request in the comment box. By the way, all the photos are in indoor lighting/low lighting.
BACKGROUND INFO:
I have been wearing circle lenses for almost 4 years now and it is mostly for my very bad vision (-8.50 O_O), I typically go for the natural lenses and I've never tried any other colours of circle lenses other than grey and brown. I have tried GEO, NEO, and EOS Lenses. I prefer subtle enlargement or none. My eyes are super sensitive and dry.. I shouldn't be wearing lenses, but I insist on it!! So comfort for me is a must!! and the higher the water content, the better.

DESCRIPTION FROM HONEYCOLOR SITE:
Usage Modality: One Year Disposable
BC: 8.6 mm
DIA: 14.2 mm
Water content: 45%
DESIGN:
- Super Duper Natural
- Has a bit of a darker rim of about 1mm surrounding it and diffuses into brown a total rim of roughly about 2-3 mm
- From far away it looks like normal eyes
- Up close looks natural as well, unless you are like... 5 cm away from my face can you actually tell I'm wearing circle lenses
- Subtle gradient effect
ENLARGEMENT:
- This is definitely 14.2 mm
- The difference between my regular eyes (sorry no pics XD) is really minimal, probably like .. 1 mm difference
COMFORT:
- Super comfortable
- Feels like nothing when you first put it on
- I can wear it from 8 AM - 6-7PM (10 ish hours), after that it will be a bit irritating
- of course take it out as soon as you can to protect your eyes!!
OVERALL RATING OUT OF 5:
♥♥♥♥½♡
I REALLY LIKE IT, and RECOMMEND IT! if you prefer the natural look
The only reason I don't give it a perfect 5 is that I wish it gave me a teeny weeny bit more of enlargement, even just a millimeter more, my natural eyes are almost the same size as the lens, it only really defines the outer rim making it appear a bit larger. Again, this is really natural, I have tried the GEO BC-102, and although I really like those ones, these ones are way more comfortable.

I ordered these from honeycolor.com with skeptism. Their pricing is really reasonable, but shipping costs 5$USD to Vancouver, Canada. And Standard shipping costs 5$USD per item and 1$USD for any additional items, but I guess they charged me 6$ because the free contact lens case that came with it counted as another item =_=.. so much for it being free. Standard shipping was said to be approximately 14 working days.
I originally ordered these in -9.00, but they were out of stock, so they contacted me the following day to let me know. I ordered on October 8, 2012, and received a reply telling me they didn't have it in stock on October 9, 2012. I then replied to them that I would just go with -8.50, and they confirmed with me a couple hours afterwards. The package was shipped out on the 12th, so it was a total of 3 processing days just like how it said on the site, and my order arrived on the 18th of October.
Shipping was less than a week!! And they were really prompt and clear on contacting through email. I'm really glad, they have fast service, and moderately priced for circle lenses!! I will definitely order from them again, unless I'm looking for different lenses. Honeycolor offers a wide range of lenses, such as NEO, EOS, GEO, FLORA, DOLLY+ and a few others.

BTW: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON INSTAGRAM?
Should I make one for daily photos of my life and outfits, and buys? I'm not really an instagram user, but if you guys want it I will. It'll be easier for me to update through that rather than here.
