[Review] Glamour Doll Eye Shadows


Hey lovlies,
Anyways, here's yet another review :) This time it's on Glamour Doll Eye Shadows. So if you guys didn't know, Glamour Doll Eyes actually give blogger & youtube gurus the opportunity to test out their products for review purposes. The only thing is you have to apply and meet the requirements. Anyways, I applied for the "One Time Review" & I was then contacted by, Vee and she asked me to pick 6 shadows for my review. Anyways, some of you might know about them and some of you might not, so here's a quick FYI on what the company is all about.

About Glamour Doll Eyes:
Glamour Doll is an eye shadow company that strives to bring you fashionable and unique colors to strut your stuff! Our eye shadows are great for any age! All of our ingredients are made from earth minerals. The main ingredients we use are Magnesium Stearate, Zinc Oxide, Kaolin Clay and Methicone Treated Titanium Dioxide. All of the colors we use in our eyeshadow s are FDA approved for eyeshadow use.



Anyways, here are the eye shadows that I had picked out.
Veteran, Ladies Night, Chocoholic, Royal Assassin, Pinky Swear & Jailhouse Jumpsuit
Pretty innovative names, I must say ^_^

Here are more pictures of the eye shadows (clear)

- Veteran: Shimmery dark blue with a purple undertone
- Ladies Night: Matte black (has obvious blue flecks)
- Chocoholic: Shimmery brown
- Jailhouse Jumpsuit: Shimmery bright yellow-orange
- Pinky Swear: Shimmery pink with a purple undertone
- Royal Assassin: Matte plum (has obvious opal flecks)


Here is the make over pic of my sister that I did a couple of months ago.
In this picture, I used Veteran for the lids, Pinky Swear for the top half of the crease & Ladies Night, on the top of Veteran.

As you can see, the eye shadows are very very pigmented. And they just sparkle like diamonds <3


Overall thought:
The Jailhouse Jumpsuit, & the Pinky Swear apply more sheer unlike the rest of the eye shadows (however, they are still very buildable) I love those two colors for summer time. However, it doesn't show as vibrant on my skin because I'm a bit tanned, so I was thinking maybe these colors would look great on someone who has a bit of a lighter complexion than me. Chocoholic is a nice shade of brown, it almost has that coppery feel to it that is also really nice for this season, especially if youre trying to achieve the "bronzed look." Royal Assassin, Ladies Night & Veteran are my favorites out of the bunch. Royal Assassin and Ladies Night are matte eye shadows with a more obvious flecks of glitter. I feel like both have a less finer feel to them unlike the the other 4. I think out of all of the shadows, Veteran is the most pigmented out of all 6. Although, all 6 are very well pigmented, I just find myself more drawn to Veteran because of its rich, bold, blue color. Anyways, overall, I love love GDE they have a wide selection of colors to chose from. They have very pigmented e/s and little goes along way, trust me.

AA Boho Chic Head Accessory + OOTD + New Mode5 Blog


Hey lovelies,
How are you guys all doing? hope all of you beautifuls are doing well :) Anyways, here is an old "rope" thingy for your head. Idk what it's called exactly but I do know it's for your head. It reminds me of hippies haha! I actually got this a few years ago from American Apparel in LA. 

lately, I've been loving the neutral eye makeup. So here I just use my Estee Laudere duo in Smokey Pink? I used the taupe color e/s all over my lid, then used my Sephora duo e/s in N5, I used the dark brown on my crease and a matte black e/s on my outer v


What do you guys think? Do you think you'll rock something like this, this season?

Also, here is another "Photoshoot" I had after church last Sunday. Idk what to call this particular outfit, but it's very simplistic and in a way modernized with a hint of an edge (i guess?)




I love wearing a plain v-neck shirts because it goes well with everything. Like they say in fashion, if you're wearing a printed top, tone it down on the bottom and vice versa. So since I'm wearing these pants that have a checkerboard print, I decided to tone it down on the top by just wearing a plain white v-neck shirt.
---------------------------------

Also, I did my first fashion blog on Mode-5 about Summer Fashion and Beauty Tips, so CLICK HERE to read more about it. Also, it'd be so nice if you guys can give me your feedbacks regarding this blog. That way, I can better myself when it comes to writing about fashion, etc. All types of opinions, criticism, suggestions, comments and request will be very much appreciated. Thank you!!!

Here's a little sneak peak of my new blog

[Review] Geo Super Nudy Grey & Geo Honey Wing


Geo Super Nudy Gray



Comfort: ♥♥♥♥
These particular lenses are very comfortable even for their huge size. I love how my eyes doesn't get too dry when I wear these. Usually, when I wear bigger lenses that are more than 14mm, my eyes reject them, but these are insanely comfortable.

Design/ Color: ♥♥♥♥♥
Since these lenses are in the "Nudy" series, as most of you guys know, most Nudy's have this very pixelated look to them. However, these Super Nudy's have a much thicker black outter rim than the regular Nudy series. The thick outter rim gives it a more dolly feel to it. It also makes your eyes insanely huge! However, if you want a more natural lens, these are not the way to go. But, I must say, I do love these Super Nudy lenses!

Enlargement: ♥♥♥♥♥
So speaking of enlarging the eyes, these are the lenses for you if you have super tiny eyes and you want to look more dolly. Definitely not natural, but I know that there are a lot of people that have this mentality that bigger is better. Well, this is as big as they can get.

Overall: ♥♥♥♥
I love these lenses over all! I have nothing bad to say about them! I love these more than my Nudy Browns, but I wouldn't be wearing these everyday because it's so obvious that it's fake. haha!

Geo Honey Wing



Comfort: ♥♥♥♥♥
These lenses are by far the most comfortable lenses that I own. I love wearing these lenses because it feels as though I'm not even wearing any lenses in my eyes.

Design/ Color: ♥♥♥♥♥
The design is very simplistic and very natural. The outter rim is not black unlike most circle lenses. The outter rim is more of a darker brown. I also love the halo effect that these lenses give, which is absolutely gorgeous on a photo. These are very natural looking especially for people with brown-dark brown eyes, it blends perfectly with your natural eye color.

Enlargement: ♥♥♥♥♥
These lenses are about 14mm so honestly speaking, it doesn't do much when it comes to enlarging anything. Since it's more on the natural side, I do love it, but it won't make your eyes bigger.

Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥
I love love these lenses! I find myself wearing these lenses more than I wear my other ones. These are perfect for everyday natural look. People can't even tell that I'm wearing circle lenses, unless they stare at my eyes for more than 5 mins which is pretty creepy!

WHERE TO GET THESE LENSES:

Asianfashioncity.com sent me these lenses for review purposes only. I am not affiliated with this company, nor am I getting paid to do this review. Everything said in this post is a 100% my own honest opinion. What may work for me, may not work for you, so please use at your own discretion.
