#776 - Taobao Earrings Haul

Hahaha lousy side flatlay by the floor but here are my purchases. Recently v into earrings, especially the minimalist-styled ones.

5 of the pairs are from the same store. V happy w my purchases, plus they do not cost a bomb too!

Crescent Dangling Earrings (lol I am v bad w naming items): Expectations.

The dangling bit is detachable.

Reality. One of the side is slightly crooked but other than that no issues. It's so cheap I shouldn't hiam right. I quite like it!

How it looks like on the ear! This chain tangles quite easily though!

A somewhat better but blurrer definition here.

Pearl Heart-Shaped Earrings: Expectations.

Reality. Damn sweet omg can match my laced dresses. And then the pearls are stuck on neatly - OCD so I am v pleased w it.

💵: SGD2.22 before shipping

Heart-Shaped Earrings : Expectations.

Reality. Just like the stock photo. Comes in gold too!

💵: SGD1.11 before shipping

So simple and easy to match!

Rose Petals Earrings w Pearl: Expectations.

Reality. Can be worn 3 ways! The pearls are actually the pushbacks (earrings backing).

So you can insert the earring from either side of your earlobes depending on where you want your pearls/petals to be.. if you get what I mean. You can have the pearls and rose petals hanging half on each side of the earlobe or wear it long w the pearls as studs. The rose petals come in many colours but I think this is one of the nicest.

💵: SGD2.64 before shipping

Pearl at the back side of the earlobe.

Pearl as stud look. Might be a bit too overboard tho! Look like those earrings 古装 people wear.

Marble Dangling Earrings: Expectations.

Reality. One of my first few earrings in gold!

Is chio de w the marble prints and I love the clinking of the different dangling bits hahaha. I think this is my favourite out of all.

💵: SGD3.76 before shipping

Zoomed really in because breakout and scars (I might have overexfoliate my skin so I needa stop) but here's how it looks on an earlobe lolol.

Long Minimalist Earrings: Expectations.

Reality. This was from another Taobao shop. The rest above are all from Taimi Style 太美饰品. First saw it on blogger LMT. I knew I had to get it. She wore it in one of her instagram posts and I tried to do an image search on Taobao but failed to find it. Then she shared her recent earrings haul image on Dayre and I used that to search instead.

Got it!! So happy okay. Is so chio. 😍

😗 Can't wait to zng nice nice and wear them out!

Done w sharing my mini Taobao earrings haul!

#775 - Pejoy Flavours Taste Review

So… I thought to insert some non-travelogue related entries as well, else this would be like a travel blog instead.

Guess what?

I am going to talk about Pejoy today! Pejoy is something like Pocky, also under the brand Glico and it comes in many flavours, both savoury and sweet. I was interested in the Tomato Pizza and Corn Soup flavours after seeing Joycesayshello raved about it on her Dayre. My brother went to China recently so I bugged him to get me some back!

*Surprise* Turns out he bought every available flavour he could find there back!

Flavours for the top row: Red Wine Chocolate, Matcha, Cheese Cake, Strawberry Vanilla

Flavours for the middle row: Lemon Tart, Tomato Pizza, Cheese, Hazel Nuts Chocolate

Flavours for the bottom row: Tiramisu, Milk, Corn Soup, Chocolate

Presenting to you our v-anyhowly done review video hahaha. Most of the time I was just entertaining myself la uh. I am not a fair judge myself because I have no sweet tooth. Savoury > Sweet any day. This review video is just for memories sake haha.

If you stay through that 7minutes, thanks for the support and adding 1 view to my Youtube count haha.

If you didn’t (WHY DIDN’T YOU), here’s a summary:

Skip the Chocolate (tastes cheap) and Lemon Tart (super not legit and artificial tasting). Red Wine is legit, with the strong alcohol taste. Tiramisu too, you can smell the coffee. Strawberry Vanilla, Milk and Cheese Cake are pretty good too. Matcha’s okay. Hazel Nuts Chocolate soso.

My favourites are Tomato Pizza (really taste like Pizza, is legit) and Cheese (never take photos lol)! So predictable right. Corn Soup comes close. It reminds me of the salty crispy snack with animal prints in orange and yellow packaging I used to have in Primary School! Smells like Potong Sweet Corn icecream tho. If we are talking about the sweet flavours, it’d probably be Strawberry Vanilla.

Yup so that marks the end of my super brief reviews on Pejoy flavours. Grab it in China if you have the chance!! Get me 2 Tomato Pizzas and Cheesecake too tyvm hahahaha.

#481 -

Just a random entry to test out the new 'Miniature Effect' installed in my LX5. :)

Updated my version of LX5 using the link shared by fellow LX5 users the other day.

It has other updates too, other than the Miniature Effect!

Terms that are foreign to yours truly. :B

Here's the link if you're interested:

http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/LX5/index.html

Okay I don't really know what Miniature Effect means and google doesn't really help much, for me.

But from the photos I took, the effect is that it focuses on certain part of the object and made its surrounding blur and the colours are very vivid too! :)

 Can you see the focus on my toenails? :D

Nail colour is China Glaze's Dorothy Who.

Anyway, I bought something random online the other day.

A foot mask!

 Have yet to try it though, will do so soon and if it's good, I might review it. :)

Till then, click the ads! Love.

#427 - GEO Super Angel Grey Review

 Hey there!

Just 2 weeks ago, I received my first pair of GEO lens! :)

Initially, I was gonna continue by saying this is probably my first and last pair of GEO lens due to the MOH banning of sale of contact lens online.

But, luckily I went to order a few more pairs of GEO lens!

Hopefully, the whole delivery process will be successful.

By the way, I am wary of how the news potrays such online lens being harmful yada yada in case anyone of you want to warn me.

And the reason why I continued using is because the comfort level is damn good, even so much better than the pair I wore which I got from the optician!

Anyway, today's entry will be sort of like a review for the GEO lens I ordered!

I got GEO Super Angel Grey! :)

 Close ups of the lens:

With flash:

Without flash:

Yeah and they kind of make your irises bigger!
Compare my left and right eyes, left eye wearing the lens and right not!
Hope you can tell the difference!

Yeah and I know I have a rather huge and bulbous nose inherited from my mum. :(

And no, it's not crooked.

Hahaha photos below are all camwhore shots with the lens so ignore them if you must!

Hehe I kinda love this shot if not for my knee and the open closet.

Flawless complexion I can never have (maybe yes after consulting a dermatologist), sharp nose at this angle, and I love how the contacts look under flash.

Retook a few more with the closet closed, but I can't get the flawless complexion back.

CAMERA, Y U NO COOPERATE?!

Sorry yours truly no photoshop! Any sponsors?

*stares at NUS students getting lappys from Matric Fair*

I heard Adobe PS can download 3 times hor? ^^

Remind me to clean my mirror.

Summing up this entry with my review ratings:

Comfort level: ★★★★★

The current pair of GEO lens I am wearing does not dry up fast and can last me to more than 8hours with NO discomfort whereas for the optician's one, I can only wear for 3-4 hours before my eyes will feel super dry and I'll blink non-stop.

After that, I will tear like madz and get red eyes. :(

So this pair gets 5 stars! :D

Design: ★★★★

I love how there's this black lining at the outer ream. And they look natural to me without flash and the effect is exactly what I am looking for with flash. :)

Enlargement: ★★★

At 14.8mm, it's pretty okay to me, and doesn't give my eyes that pop up effect. Idk about the effect on others because different people have different eyes sizes, iris sizes so the enlargment may vary in one way or another.

Price: ★★★★★

I got mine at $11.50 after postage payment.

And they can last up to 3-6 months, yeah I am not going to harm my eyes by wearing it for a year!

Worth it because the price of the optician's contacts is wayyyy high, mine was like $60/3 months?!

Overall: ★★★★

Anyway, I hope this review helps if you happen to chance upon it! :)

Blog again soon, bye! ♥
