Circle lens review: EOS Adult Series Blue from Shoppingholics.com

I'm so happy to say that Shoppingholics.com decided to sponsor me and sent me a pair of Adult Series in Blue. As I already own Adult Grey, I knew that I was going to love these :D
I was sponsored for these lenses, so it's required to review it. However, it didn't in any way shape or form affect the integrity of this review.

Orange Blushes

It's the summer and time to tan and wear a blush shade suitable: orange! I want to show you my collection because even though orange blush might all look the same, all of them have a big variety of tones!

Although I have to admit I'm guilty of wearing orange blush all year round, it just works the best for my skin tone :3 This post will be similar to the highlighting post I made earlier this week!

Yesterday's FOTD and Astro Blasters!

Since Tony and I got Premium passes to Disneyland we decided to make an impromptu trip there! Unfortunately since the summer season started it is really crowded and we only got on one ride :(

However, I got a replacement charger for his SLR so I got to use that with some really beautiful lighting at sunset! I'm also using 2 of the items from my summer giveaway: NYX Powder Blush in Cinnamon and NYX Black Label Lipstick in Peachy.

Highlighting

I know there are a lot of people that are iffy with highlighting/contouring, so I thought I would make a post about the highlighters that I own! In the post I have swatches and short reviews of each of the products I have along with where to buy them and other recommendations.

My weekend at the Obey sale~

Apparently a lot of people saw my advertisement for the OBEY warehouse sale, because it got about 700 views in the days before and during the sale! I had a pleasure working there and hope some people saw me there!
I didn't take a lot of pictures since of course I had to work, but I'll share some of the ones I took :D

PS for anyone curious: Don't bother asking me how you can work at these sales. However if you're interested in when the next sale is, please go on the official OBEY clothing website and sign up for the mailing list! Newsletters are sent every week :)

Eyemazing Cosme Line Gets!

First off I'd like to thank all my followers <3 I never would've dreamed to have 300+ followers now :D

I'm a big fan of PopSister/Edge Style model Jun Komori, so it shouldn't be a surprise that I went out and bought almost the entire Eyemazing Cosme Line ^^;; This is going to be one of my last makeup purchases in awhile.
Item list:
- Pencil Eyeliner
- Cheek Color in Shell Pink
- Cheek Color in Sweet Pink
- Cheek Color in Miracle Orange
- Cheek Color in Lavender
- Gel Liner
- Lip Gloss in Jewel Clear
- Lip Gloss in Peach Beige
- Lip Gloss in Milky Pink

I bought these off of Venus Style and they ship overseas with a fairly reasonable price (it cost 1600yen to ship all of this via EMS). They were so fast with shipping that I was confused when the mailman showed up at the door LOL

Hoping to review these items soon!

Luminous Change: Rumi Itabashi's line of Eyelashes and Crystal Gel Seal

While I'm not a big fan of Rumi Itabashi aka Rumiringo (personal issues), I do have to admit that her line of products looks really nice and doesn't get enough exposure. It's not available in many places and mostly sold out, but we can all drool at the product images and hope they come back in stock soon! Bigger images in the cut~

I'm working at another warehouse sale this month, so please come by if you want awesome clothes for cheap! OBEY is famous for creating iconic art pieces featuring Andre the Giant and Barack Obama. I wear a bunch of their clothes and mix it with my monotone gal style, so it's definitely a great brand for that style!

OBEY's office has moved to Irvine, so please take note that the new address is located at: 17462 Von Karman Ave. Irvine, CA 92614. Remember to come early because despite the "No Camping" policy, there will be people coming in the early morning hours.

Why Ulta has the best rewards system

I talk very fondly about Ulta stores (US only, sorry international ladies!), especially since it's where I get my hair done. They have great sales going on every week on top of always having a great selection. But I have more reasons to love them now.
I bought all of this:
For only this much!
That's a $102.75 discount! The reason why I got the discount was because my rewards points built up over the year and I had never been asked to use them before last month. I go in every couple of months to do my hair (at around $100ish each time) and grab a few products while I'm there. That's it, but somehow I racked up almost 9000 points in this duration! They give you discounts when you reach a certain amount of points, with 7500 points being the $100 discount. So not only did I get $100 discount (with a NYX sale going on at the same time, which is where the extra $2.75 comes from), I still have points leftover to get a discount on my next purchase!

Ladies, if you've got an Ulta store within the area you live in PLEASE join their rewards program! Better yet, use their salon and spa services if they're available at your local stores! You won't regret the amazing rewards you'll receive just by staying beautiful.
