Igari-Faux Freckles

Hi Lovelies, this is Joanne ♥ 

I'm VERY late in the trend game but here's my Igari and Freckle makeup Look. The Igari Look was a hot trend in Japan during the year of 2015 till current where it emphasizes the characteristics of being 'drunk.' (red cheeks etc) 

I've added my own twist by adding in Faux Freckles to overall create a cute, innocent makeup look. 

Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy!

Rose Gold Makeup Tutorial

Hey Lovelies ♥

This is my Rose Gold Makeup Tutorial suitable for formal night outs or for other special occasions.
It is a burgundy golden eye look with nude lips perfect for those monolids out there like myself, as I show you step by step on how to do this current look.

As this is my first video, I hope you guys can give me advice and tips for my oncoming future videos and please enjoy!!


I've decided to finally take a step to demonstrate how I do makeup as a fellow monolid, due to the limited amount of youtubers that specialise in makeup with a single lid. So I really hope these videos help your guys out, since I myself had to go through the trouble learning
to do makeup from scratch for my certain eye shape!

Once again thanks for sharing your time to watch this video!!

NYX: Butter Lipstick Review

Hey everyone!
I sincerely apologize for the delay of posts regardless of the fact that my finals finished and I had heaps of spare time during the summer holidays. I've just been going through some really hard transitions and often wasn't feeling motivating to do anything social. Over the past few months I have been able to adapt to my depressions and have gained an abundant amount of self confidence and independence. As the social media and internet is the only place where I can be myself with my precious readers <3
Once again I apologize and hope you will continue to follow my blog and my soon to be released Youtube channel!! at 
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp2uQ343nBcxfyvs_F6Oitg
Stay tuned for the video upload sometime next week on a Rose Gold Makeup Tutorial!!

Without further ado Lets get onto this review!! <3

Today I will be reviewing a NYX Lipstick product called the Butter Lipstick in the shade
Moonlit Night.


Here in Australia we don't have many retailers selling NYX products but I was able to get my hands on this lipstick at a certain Kmart in Foresthill Mall of Melbourne. (any melbourians that are wondering!)
The product was very inexpensive and for its price, it has a really good quality pigmentation shade and moisturizing dual effects.



The colour is very pigmented and creates a beautiful plume shade perfect for those cold, chilly days as winter is approaching here in Australia.
It can be used for a formal and causal look since it is able to adapt
with various styles of outfits along with a grunge/bad girl look or even for a sassy 90's look.
You can watch my video that i did for my grunge makeup tutorial
that shall be uploaded soon enough!


-picture used from my grunge makeup tutorial-

Either ways I really recommend this product for everyone as it is:
-cheap and not costly
-quality is good for its price
-pigmented and moisturizing
-its a beautiful shade <3
-It stays on for long periods of time without having to reapply

Tell me how you guys think of nyx lip products and comment some ideas
I could post for either my youtube or my blog <3
Thanks for reading!!

Review: The Faceshop Cushion Screen Cell

Hey everyone!
I am LITERALLY back, I have finally finished off my finals and now I'm free!
It's already been two days of playing various games without feeling guilty of not studying!
so glad my finals are over!
So how has everyone else been? It's been quite a while since I've posted but since I'm free, my posts shall be more frequent! thanks for being patient guys! <3
I've also been wondering whether I should start my own youtube channel to fill in the spare time I have but I'm not sure, it's quite scary :C ...
What do you guys think?

Anyways, today I am back with a review of a new type of Korean Cushion which is the Screen Cell from the brand The Faceshop.
(colour: 01 Radiant Beige)

When I first opened the package, I immediately fell in love with the simplistic white package. I don't know why but I love little full white things <3
Putting the fact that it has an amazing package aside, what I noticed that was different to other Korean BB cushions is that there was a screen covering the surface of where we usually dab the product to to the cushion.

 -The packaging is so cute!-

-The Cushion Screen-

FYI: I have finally gotten a better camera as well and instead of using my phone, I can actually take clear and close shots of objects!

So in my opinion, I reckon this product was produced during the winter time since the BB formula was mixed with various Korean Ampule Oils or otherwise known as oil based serums in order to keep the skin moisturised during the dry cold winds of winter.
I really recommend this to those that have dry skin to begin off, since it will keep it moisturised and hydrated throughout the day.
A little dab of the product goes a long way so beware of not pressing too hard onto the product!!
It does a great job of lightening your skin and making it look less tired; the coverage of the product isn't amazing but it does a reasonable job in wise of being a light BB cream.

I usually hate products that make my skin oily and sticky especially here in Australia it tends to get warm time to time, however this product doesn't clump up nor create a sticky feeling regardless of the fact that it looks dewy and soft.

Here I did a coverage test with a black eyeliner and a red dot to create a model of acne.

-little arrow is pointed to the fake acne. It is able to cover well over red spots-

Either ways I really recommend this product to everyone since it is worth the cost!

The Streets

Hey there lil sailors! ♡

its been a very long time since I've posted, I hope you guys can understand as 
my finals are really close now ;A;
stress is really piling, however gotta study hard for the last few days!
I shall be uploading the next contact lens review in the next post.
However, today I was able to go out (for once) and managed to take a few
shoots in regards to fashion -yay-
It is a casual, street-style look that can be styled in various different ways!

Recently, I've been really liking this Victorian Secret Pink Sweater along with the mesh around the shoulders. Since the weather here in Melbourne has been loosening up and slowly becoming a bit warmer, I thought a thin sweater like so would be perfect.


// Jeggings from Uniqlo // Sweater from Victoria Secret Pink // shoes from Korea




-posing was so awkward in public-

I realised that small in American size is way too big for me, so I had to tuck the sweater in at the front! so from now on if I get anything from America, it shall be ExtraSmall.

Such sweater is appropriate for street/hip pop style, if contributed with a warm flannel or even a beanie. Wearing  a skirt underneath the sweater can also make the look into a somewhat girlish attire. So since its probably going to get chilly around half of the world, these are some tips! Overall today was just a sweater day for me ♡perfect when you can't be bothered dressing up
p.s platforms are a perfect in wise of comfortability that also make you look taller!
which I really needed for today, since I walked alot.

This was a short post, but I'll see you guys in the next one!
Bye for now and Thanks for reading!

Bunny 3 Colour Gray Contact Lens Review (Sponsored by Klenspop)

Hey there lil sailors! ♡

Recently, I've only had time to do these contact lens reviews - not really a good habit, as I really want to post a variety of things more towards the fashion industry.
Regardless, being able to communicate and help you guys out this way is good too C:
I apologize in advance as my finals are drawing near and I must study hard for the
outcome! 

Anyways today I was sponsored by the lovely Klenspop again, with the
Bunny 3 Colour Gray
Feel free to use this 10% discount code!
WDK6RW1D



Diameter: 14.5mm
Graphic Diameter: 13.3mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Life Span: 6 Months
Country of Origin: South Korea


-This packaging with the bunny girl is so adorable!-




-blend of colours ranging from black grey and brown.


-in light-

Overall Ratings ❄/5

Design ❄❄❄❄
The design was very natural and to my liking as they are not that obvious that I'm wearing them unless people come real close to my face.
Overall the ombre and gradient effect of the 3 colours that blend together nicely, compliment the natural dark colours of my eyes without making it look too dramatic.
The thin black circumference of the contact lens also support the eyes to look a bit bigger than they usually are.

Comfort ❄❄❄❄
This particular lens was really comfortable and barely moved around. However after 6 hours of usage, I could feel that my eyes became a bit irritated and strained from the dryness. So in future reference, it would be great to carry around some eye solution to prevent that.
Colour ❄❄❄❄
My most favourite part of this lens was the colour. The gradient blend of each of the colours made it look more natural and realistic, as I in my opinion really love natural looking contacts.
However, one disappointment of it was that, it wasn't as pigmented as I thought it would be. I recommend people with light colour eyes to definitely have a try of these and for the people of dark coloured eyes can try this for the slight colour enhancement.

Enlargement ❄❄
As these lenses were more towards the natural side, not much enlargement is seen.

Naturalness ❄❄❄❄❄
In regards to all the facts stated above, make these lens perfect for naturalness!


-Excuse my School uniform hehe-

This was a short post but I hope I will be able to upload more things soon <3

Madonna Violet Contact Lens Review (Sponsored by Klenspop)

Hey there lil sailors! ♡

It's been so long ;A;, finals are nearly soon and it's really busy busy busy!
any ways, as a comeback hehe
I've decided to do a short review on the contact lens
Madonna Violet
sponsored by the lovely Klenspop!
Feel free to use this 10% discount code!WDK6RW1D


Diameter: 14.0mm
Graphic Diameter: 13.5mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Life Span: 1 Year (max)
Country of Origin: South Korea

As always, the lenses were packaged cutely and safely within bubble wrap!
Comes with both a lens case and tongs. (is it called tongs? ._.)

-In more detail-These lenses tend to look unnatural as they are really 
dramatic in enlarging the eye circumference. However it was
just as comfortable and not painful as all. All the products
I have utilized so far from Klenspop has been really comfortable and not painful at all.So pain free is always a beneficial factor!

However, I wouldn't go out on a daily basis with these lenses as they do tire my eyes out after about 6 hours, due to the thickness. They also tend to look black on the typical Asian
dark brown eyes and make it kind of alien-like? but honestly in my opinion I really dislike that factor.
Either ways, if its for party or some sort of dramatic vampire look; I would definitely recommend these lenses!
-As you can see here, I am wearing the Green Madonna lens on my left and the purple on my right. My eyes just look black. my cute little luffy's face doe <3-
Overall Ratings ❄/5

Design ❄❄
The design was pretty, but in my opinion I rather wear contacts that look natural in comparison with dramatic.
But it is a pretty lens to admire within is lens case C:

Comfort ❄❄❄

They tend to strain or hurt my eyes after 6 hours but before that its all good!
Colour ❄❄❄❄
The colour in the case is really REALLY pretty but like on black Asian eyes ;A; -sob-
Enlargement ❄❄❄❄❄

Enlargement is a main touch within these lenses it would be perfect for a dramatic look, and would be recommended to use if doing a cosplay look or some sort of dress up.
It makes your eyes look very big and enlarged, so a good pointer for those who actually like the lenses that make the eyes look amazingly huge.

Naturalness ❄❄
Really unnatural  but as said above, would be perfect for people who are into 
the enlargement of contact lenses and etc.

Overall, as always Klenspop has really great customer service and quick and fast replies if problems occur, and mainly the lenses are not that costly either compared to most online lens stores!

Anyways this was a short post, however I hope I will be able to upload more things soon <3
Bye for now! Thanks for reading!

TwoFacedMall Products

Hey there lil sailors! ♡

Really sorry about the somewhat late post, been busy as always! I've been trying to upload more fashion related posts; however never got the time to have a proper "photoshoot"
So I deeply apologize for the inconvenience. Eitherway as long as you sailors are happy with the makeup posts, I'll be glad to continue! C:

Just recently, I have received wonderful Korean make up products from TwoFacedMall!First of all I would like to state that TwoFacedMall is a wonderful website to order Korean Products that come directly from Korea. They offer cheap makeup and skincare whilst is able to internationally ship. Their costumer service is wonderful and at haste as they constantly replied to my emails quickly and sending the package rapidly aswell. Their products are very trustworthy, as the word of fake make up has been an arising issue the past few years.

I obtained four items:
Aritaum Water Sliding Tint
Colour: Rose Valley
Aritaum Stylepop Juicy Tint
Colour: Red Mango
Innisfree Eco Flower Tint Balm
Colour: Camelia
Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

I don't  usually pick orange or red lip products, as to my opinion it does not suit me ahah. However recently I've been having cravings to try new things and risk everything! Has anyone else had this type of experience before?? I'm so curious!


-The packaging for each product is so very cute and fancy-

I chose the Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder due to the Korean Beauty Drama that was trending most recently within the korean youtube channel, InsiteTV. Within this particular 'love drama,' the protagonist consistently applies this product throughout the video, in ways of promoting as well as entertaining their viewers!
Please check out their Channel to watch the videos, in order to understand what I'm babbling about!


-swatched the lip products-
(from top: Aritaum Water Sliding Tint, Innisfree Eco Balm Tint and the Juicy Tint)



As you can tell in this photo above, along with all the lip products, the Innisfree Tint and the Water Sliding Aritaum Tint are very moist and glistening; one con for the juicy tint was in fact that the product itself was way too drying even with lip balm applied underneath.
The orange colours seemed really pigmented when swatched to my arm, however on my lips I couldn't really see any difference from my previous bare lip. Therefore, from this experience I shall not risk buying orange coloured lip products no more!!!

On the other hand, The water sliding Tint was my favourite out of them all, it had no weird after taste and kept my lips moist throughout a long period of time! I would definitely recommend this to people who want to try a less flashy bold red lip!

One con for this product is that the lipstick itself cannot be reverted back into the container like the common lipstick tube; for this specific product you only pull out the amount you'll use and stays the amount that has been pulled out! confusing ey? However this con can be ignored due to the quality of it!!
 -applied the Aritaum Tint-

Thanks for reading and see you next time!
