St. Louis trip and Korean Aqualette Green Tea recovery mask!! =D

Oh boy. It's been a while hasn't it? As you all know, we went to St. Louis to get a new couch and coffee table, which I love both very much! Our couch is a sage color (Did I ever mention green is my favorite color?) And the coffee table has two slide out chairs. SO neat!!!! So while we were there, we met up with friends, had supper, and went shopping!!! That's also obviously a favorite of mine. So on to the first review!!!!


So we went to a mall, which...honestly I can't remember the name of, and went to a few stores. But a store called Forever 21 happened to catch my eye. Looking like a fancy boutique, it was decorated with fancy white tables, and everything a girl could dream of! The walls were encased with lots and lots of jewelry, all for what is fairly cheap. I could buy the same jewelry here in my local town, and probably pay double for it.

I promised the boyfriend I wouldn't buy too much, or go bankrupt ahahaha. So I only bought a few cheap face masks, a pair of earrings, and a little lip gloss kit with three different shades.

I'm not really sure what brand the lip gloss is, as the only thing on the box says "Love & Beauty." I'm not really a fan of the red tinted lip gloss, but the other two go on pretty smooth, and I have a really bad problem with chapped lips in the winter. These worked better than most chapsticks that I buy at my work, which I thought was amazing. The whole set was only $3.80, another part that makes this great.


AQUALETTE SKIN RECOVERY MASK GREEN TEA

Ahh. There are so many things that I can say about this mask. I am only saddened that I won't be anywhere close to get more. I really should of bought more than just one. When pulling this out of the package, you would think that it would be a spread on mask, you know, the mud or slimey stuff that you end up washing off later. But surprise! It ends up coming out exactly how it looks on the package, only I think a little bit creepier. You use it of course after showering and cleansing your face, leaving your pores open to accept all the loveliness of this mask. I left it on for about 30 minutes, it was just so relaxing, but I don't think they suggest you leave it on that long (10-20 maybe.)  I took a short little relax nap with it on, and went upstairs to throw it away, and look at the progress. Sometimes I have problems with these masks because a lot of them are cheap, and slimey and make my skin break out. BUUUT! I cannot say that about this one. This mask was only $1.80, but was worth probably more than those 3 dollar ones you buy at Wal*Mart.

The thing they don't mention is the whitening power of this. It instantly cleared up my pores, and made my skin color all ....well normal. I don't know if many of you are familiar with asian skin care, but they have a lot to do with whitening and correcting the tone of your skin color, and also have the ability to sometimes remove facial scars caused from acne. Like I said, for a $1.80, I can't believe the work it did on me. And my skin was as smooth as silk!! I really do regret not buying more, or being able to have access to these locally, but perhaps I can find them on the internet soon =).



SO that was the review. Now for more about the St. Louis trip. We ended up meeting with the boyfriend's friend, and going out for supper at Oceano's Bistro, which is a wonderful seafood restaurant. I ended up having the scallops.

Mmmmm! Delicious! And fancy!!! However after 3, I was done. I highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for sea food, and are ever in the St. Louis area. They also served us some homemade bread made in a brick oven, along with an oil dip which I think I enjoyed more than any of my meal.  However, the price is a little expensive (Not really, $20 or more for a plate, which is reasonable if you know seafood.)


The night ended with some Irish pubs, where the evening went on for a very long time. Needless to say, it was a tiring journey home along with having to fight the snow. But it was enjoyable! Definitely a vacation that I needed.

Well that's all for now, I'll have to blog about the other face masks when I get around to using them, which one I have, but I thought I should put the other two together, ya know?? Soon I will be reviewing some BB cream that I ordered, which sounds pretty delicious to my skin right about now. =) So on that note, I'm leaving you with what St. Louis looked like by the end of the night, you know, after the pubs =D!!! Goodnight everyone!!

Ewww. Not feeling too good at this point =S

REVIEW: Pinkage Hair extensions and HANA SPC Hyper CIRCLE Grey lenses

Hello again everyone! Here is the second review of the week! I don't know how often I will have two in one blog, but for now it seems to be working! On with the show!!!


HANA SPC HYPER CIRCLE GREY LENSES

Oh boy, I'm starting to see a trend here. Circle lenses have been a fashion accessory in Asia for quite a while now, and has recently been finding its way over to the States, as well as other countries all over the world. These were actually my first pair!!! As much as I love my Aqua Gossips, these tend to be my favorite. The all out result of these are a little unnatural according to my boyfriend, but grey is my favorite color!!! These were really comfortable from the get go too. My only problem I had with them was that they were my first pair, so I had to adjust a lot to them. This took a couple of days of wearing, and adjusting. But all in all, they are my easier pair, along with more comfortable pair.

The color if very dark. Well, a natural dark is what I call it anyways. I had debated for a while on either Barbie or Hana. I don't know if I mentioned in the earlier blog, when you order circle lenses, allow to soak for a while before you put them in, I always take this safety precaution. A little late for that tidbit eh??

Now, let's see how these suckers actually look!

Whoa.

The good thing about these lenses, is that it hides your iris mostly, in a well lighted room. However, if you have a small iris, you can see a small outer line around the eye that is your natural color.  This however, is not a big deal if you have blue,grey or maybe even green eyes. I don't know if I would recommend it to brown eyed girls. Another thing about these is I think they are a very natural looking grey, and not very freakish looking. However like I stated before, my boyfriend tends to say they are cool looking, but you can tell there is something not real about them. But whatever, I love them!!! Now, lets see how the look not zoomed in!!

Still pretty!!! I think so anyways. Comfort is 100% And very easy to take in and out. I also wear these mostly over the 6-8 hours. I don't suggest doing that though, the next day your eyes will feel very dry, unless you drop them all the time. hana SPC Hyper circle grey are only 25.90 USD at Pinky Paradise, which is a majority price of most the lenses, the better ones anyways. I haven't taken a picture of the lense case that came with these, but they were yellow hippos. Cute as can be!! I also got these during Christmas, so my free gift was holiday earrings!!

PINKAGE HAIR EXTENSIONS

Not many people know of the Korean hair extension company known as PINKAGE. They specialize in high quality wigs, hair extensions and bangs. I had become impatient when it comes to growing my hair out, because it's very thick and curly, and just doesn't want to grow at the pace I want it to. So, after hours and hours of looking up on ebay expensive hair extensions, I came across thee-shop, an ebay seller in Korea who sells these for quite a reasonable price!! After three days of looking, I ordered two different sets.

This is the 20 inch three clip (which means it's one piece, but has three clips in it) in. 

Posted above is what the actual clip looks like, and I got the color red wine, seeing I'm a red head.

My only complaint about this one is it is really heavy!! You have to really clip it in there deep for it to not fall out. As long as you aren't hopping around and acting like a mad woman, it should stay in though.

There it is!! I love the curl at the ends, and it's super soft like real hair too! Did I mention both extension sets are made of synthetic hair? You can use a certain ammount of heat on them, (I believe 200 degrees, though I have not used or done this myself yet.) and I often get compliments and asked how I do my hair.  When I tell them that they are just extensions, I get gasps and unbelief that this isn't my real hair. But now to my favorite ones!!! The pricing of this one was 37.99 and free shipping!!!

Ahhh, the 16 piece, 20 inch set. My favorite. Once again I bought these in red wine. I had to dye my hair a little darker for these to match, which I didn't mind at all. These are easier to keep in, and you can pretty much do anything in these suckers!!!

It comes with 12 two clip extensions, and 4 one clip extensions. The price for this set was a little higher, costing I think 57.99. But totally worth it if you know the pricing of hair extensions, especially high quality ones.  Lets see these in action!!

These get two pictures, because they are absolutley amazing!! The ebay seller thee-shop is very reliable, and I highly suggest buying from her!!! She has many more options to buy, straight hair, wigs and bangs!!!!

And there you have it!! Three wonderful items!! I must leave now, and get some resting and go to bed early . Tomorrow we go to St. Louis, maybe I can find something good there to review!!!
