Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Review

Hi Guys,
For a while now ok for a long time now I've been in need of a new eyelash curler. I've actually never even heard of the brand until I tried out my boyfriend sister's Shu Uemura eyelash curler one day. It literally curled up every single strand of my lashes and since then I was on a hunt to get one for myself! haha

Item: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler (description from the website)
This curler is chosen among many professional makeup artists and celebrities worldwide and is listed as one of InStyle's Best Beauty Buys for 2011.
- Mushroom silicon pad shape provides a protective, stay-put edge for improved safety and optimum curl
- Patented hinge applies a perfect amount of pressure on eyelashes
- Curved angle suits all eye shapes
- Calculated shape and size of frame length and ergonomic handles ensure stability and control

Where to Buy?
I actually purchased mine through eBay for $10 but you can get it at their website for $19 and that's not including tax or shipping. And you can also buy them at Sephora =P

Pros:
- Curls lashes in a natural, long-lasting looking way
- Doesn't "crimp" lashes
- Doesn't rip out any lashes

Cons:
- Can sometimes pinch the skin of the inner corner of the eyes

Overall:
This is the best eyelash curler I have ever owned and I will probably be sticking to these ones from now on! I love how it just curls up my lashes so effortlessly. I know I said that they can sometimes pinch the skin of the inner corner of the eyes but that's only if you aren't being careful. Other than that I find it very easy and comfortable to use.  Now let the pictures do all the talking =)

My nails of the day is more like nails of the week since I painted them last Tuesday when I was over at my friend Leang's house. =) I forgot to check the name of the polish but all I know is that it was China Glaze and was a nice pale yellow.

MyCandyEyes.com GEO Magic Green MCE-CM-903 Review

Why, Hello Everyone! ;) As you can see I have finally posted up my review of my free pair of circle lenses I got from www.mycandyeyes.com I am so so sorry that It literally took me 2 months to finally post this up! For those of you who are not familiar with mycandyeyes.com they are an online retail store that sells a variety of different kinds of circle lenses for your liking. All of their lenses are $20 bucks and it is always Free Shipping Within the U.S NOT! mycandyeyes.com now offers Free Shipping WORLDWIDE! Yea so for all of you ladies and gents out there in Asia, Europe, North & South America, Africa, Australia and even freakin' Antartica this Free Shipping applies to you! =) And for this month only (April) they are having a sale where all of their lenses are $15 buckaroos!! The sale will end on April 30th so you guys should hurry and get your pair of lenses O_O I know I already did! My EOS Max Pure Blue and EOS Barbie King Candy Doll Circle Lenses should be coming in the mail soon! And I will try to post those reviews up more quickly than this time.

Now that that is out of the way I can finally start talking about this post. So for my free pair I decided to get me some greens! $_$ lol jk I got me some GEO Magic Green Circle Lenses. They arrived within 2-3 weeks. And I absolutely love them, the color is beautiful and blends very well not too bold or obvious that they are fake. They are 14.0 in Diameter. Sad to say I have only worn them twice this whole time =( Only because one of the lenses seems to be defective or something. No matter how well I clean it, it feels like it is dirty and it irritates my eye like no other every single time I blink. At least they were FREE haha So its not too much of a loss but yea I think sometime soon I am just going to have to buy them because I really do like them. I mean the other lens is perfectly fine, comfort level out of 1-5 it is a 5. Just the other lens is retarded =P

Life gets in the way of posting..again

Hello Everyone,

It has been so long since I last posted something on my blog and I do apologize for that! How is everyone doing btw? =) Well I hope that all of you guys are doing great! As you can obviously see from reading my title, my life once again has come in between me and my blog. lol And as a heads up this will be a long post. *sigh* so where do I began?

Let's first start off with my dear boyfriend, Johnny. He joined the army got sent off to basic training in January and now realized that the military life isn't for him and wants out but there is no easy way out. To skip all the drama of (missing home, missing family and me, being depressed and regretting etc) he was able to find a way out =D We were able to communicate through phone calls and last thing I heard was that he was coming back in the middle of April.  On Tuesday, March 15th I went to go visit his family after work.  I usually chill with his sister, Jenica when I do. I tried calling her but she didn't answer. I get to his house and his mom opened the door and told me that Jenica was sleeping in Johnny's room and told me to go in there and wake her up. I walked up the stairs and opened his door, entering his room. I noticed that the computer was on and that there was someone laying there on the bed under the blanket . Not thinking anything of it I was like, "Sis..why didn't you pick up? I tried calling you 3 times." Suddenly the blanket flew up in the air and popped out my bald, super cheesing it..boyfriend XD I was so shock and surprised.  As the day ended he asked me what did I want to do tomorrow, I told him that we should go visit my grandpa in the nursing home first thing. Johnny was like, "I knew you were going to say that." and smiled.  I smiled, for once in a long time I felt happy again.

The very next day, Wednesday, March 16th I woke up early in the morning to go pick up Johnny. He was still sleeping so I ended up cuddling and falling a sleep with him lol I woke up at 9:25am with a missed call and 1 new voicemail. I told him to get ready now and that I can't wait to surprise my grandpa when he see's Johnny and I. I went to the bathroom and listened to my voicemail.  It was my uncle..he was crying..and said, "Honey, it's your uncle..sweetheart..grandpa passed away this morning." The happiness I felt only yesterday had all but gone and disappeared by a split second. I told Johnny and cried in his arms for a good while.  We still left to go see my grandpa..the whole family gathered there at the nursing home one last time to see him before they had to take him and embalm him.  I just couldn't believe it and was in disbelief. My grandpa was doing well, a lot better than how he was before and was actually going through physical therapy/exercising again.  Johnny had just come back and we were going to see him the very next day..we missed him only by a few hours! Its just not fair..how can God/Buddha/Whoever just sneak up behind us and take him a way like that? ='( Everything happens for a reason..Johnny came back right at the exact time and moment I would be needing him the most.  And I am so thankful for that.

Since we had to wait for family from different states to fly in and also make funeral preparations the actual funeral didn't take place until Friday, March 25th for viewing and cremation and Saturday, March 26th for burial.  In between that we had all these buddhist ceremonies going on for my grandpa as well. We were all so busy that I actually took 3-4 days off of work.  I wanted to help out and ended up being in charge of  making a video montage in memory of my grandpa =)

February 1, 1923 - March 16, 2011

Passed away peacefully in his sleep.

God bless you. A loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. We love you and miss you always!

^ Family Picture^ The big urn is the one we buried, the second one is going to my grandpa's home country -Cambodia, and the little one is for my grandma to keep

^ On Wednesday, March 23rd was my sister, Tina's 30th Birthday

^ The family surprised Tina for her birthday and took her to eat some pizza at Pier 49 Pizza

For any of you who actually stayed to the end of this post..WOW and thank you for taking the time to read this novel.  I'm going to finish this off with a picture of my grandpa and I taken a while back probably when I was 14-15 years old. I remember I was like, "Tha! (grandpa) Jeanine wants to take a picture with you!" So I sat on the bed with him and swung his arm around me and took the picture with my little disposable camera =D Miss you and Love you so much Tha!

XoxO, Nini
