MAIKO-HAN SERIES MAKEUP PRODUCTS :


The Maiko-Han makeup series from Sana incorporates traditional and modern factors when creating their products.

It is a cosmetic brand that celebrates a lady's nobleness and the adorableness of a girl.

Photo from http://www.sana.jp/
"A Maiko is an apprentice geiko (not exactly same as geisha) in Kyoto, western Japan.
Their jobs consist of performing songs, dances, and playing the shamisen or the koto (traditional Japanese instruments) for visitors during feasts. "
- from Google search

In my personal opinion, a Maiko is pretty and sweet, has a porcelain doll-looking face.
She has to stay pretty all the time for long hours as she is a performer.

--

Maiko-Han keeps two of their promises in mind when coming up with their products.
Firstly is to have a product that is long-lasting and stays on beautifully even after a long day.
(Just like the makeup of a Maiko!)

Secondly, their products contain moisturising ingredients such as the cherry blossom essence which is the key to flawless-looking and dewy skin!


---

Let's talk about their products..

First up : The Maiko-Han Makeup Base in Sheer Pink 


This product helps brighten the skin without dullness.

In cherry blossoms colour suitable for all skin tone, it helps to create a healthier and more feminine-looking skin with cherry pink colour pearls and a natural adorable finish with silk powder's covering properties!


Also, it is long-lasting, oil & waterproof (ooh lala!) and moisturises our skin preventing dryness the entire day!

It acts as a Serum + Makeup Base + Concealer + UV protector!
Imagine all the goodness sealed inside this little pink tube! :D

---

Next : The Maiko-Han Liquid Eyeliner in Intense Black


Formulated to enhance and complement our eye makeup, this eyeliner creates beautiful thin OR thick bold black lines to accentuate our eyes for a lovely animated look.


With properties like waterproof and smudgeproof, I must say I am super impressed with this eyeliner!

The best part?

It can be used in two different ways!

Wear your eyeliner THICK or THIN with this eyeliner pen!

THICK SIDE : 



THIN SIDE : 



Lines drawn by the two different sides respectively.


I wore it for the entire day and it stayed on so so well without making me look like a panda (like my other black eyeliners do) by the end of the day!
Super impressed with this one!
[Would be elated if they could produce a brown one!]


Lastly : The Maiko-Han Face Powder in Sheer Pink/Sheer Beige



When I opened the cover, I literally went "Whoa..."


This product is of a unique silk formula that helps to brighten our skin and conceals all pores!
It is made up of compound powder wrapped up with serum which melts at body temperature.
(Super amazing right???)

Also with oil-proof and water-proof properties, it moisturises the skin too, making it last an entire day!


Oh not forgetting the super cool FLEXIBLE NET!

WHAT IS IT??

It "bounces" and "stretches" when you push it down, so you can get the right amount of powder onto the puff to prevent from taking too much product onto the puff as too much powder can cause uneven and splotchy makeup!




Yay to beautiful and flawless-looking face with fabulous makeup that last throughout the day! :D

UPDATED 19/8/2015 - The Eye Talk - Featuring Authentic Geo Contact Lens from GEOCOLOUREDLENSES.COM


UPDATED 23/9/2015

Here's my take on another pair of lens GEOCOLOUREDLENSES.COM- The Geo Angel Grey CM835 lens!








Thanks for sending them over, GEOCOLOUREDLENSES.COM!

-----

Updated (19/8/2015) :

Was encouraged to do another review on another pair of lens by GEOCOLOUREDLENSES.COM!

And there you have it, my second pair from them, featuring Geo Holicat Barbie Hazel!

 Featured item : 
Geo Holicat Barbie Hazel - S$32.95/pair

Really love this pair as compared to my Nudy Brown pair, as it is slight more dramatic and really suitable for me to wear to events!

It has a gentle chocolate brown tone to it, but not too light in colour which is perfect for Asian eyes! :D


Really happy to see this sticker!


Because all products from GEOCOLOUREDLENSES.COM are genuine as mentioned before (read on for previous lens/site review!) and each lens vial comes with a sticker with a hidden unique serial code so customers will be able to verify its authenticity on GEO Anti-fake website!!

(PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED ON 4TH AUGUST 2015)

 Featured item : 
Geo Nudy Brown CH-624 - SGD$28.78/pair




GEOCOLOUREDLENSES.COM is an online boutique selling authentic circles lenses from Geo Medical. 
Founded in 2008, Geo Coloured Lenses has a simple mission to promote the Geo brand and its circle lenses. The founder of Geo Coloured Lenses has been wearing Geo contact lenses for years, swearing by it’s comfort and ease of use - as it doesn’t hurt the eyes and additionally, the contact lenses are really pretty too!





GEO Medical is a safe Korean circle contact lens brand. It is the only brand of circle lenses currently approved by the U S Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) and has also gained International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Conformité Européenne (CE) certification.

OH AND THERE IS FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING, AND EXPRESS SHIPPING IF YOU GET 5 PAIRS AND ABOVE! :D

Not forgetting FREE CONTACT LENS CASE for each pair of contact lens purchased!


Upon receiving my package, I ripped it open out of pure excitement as I really love Geo's Nudy Series of contact lenses!




There is even instructions for use! :D

My contact lenses were carefully wrapped up to avoid any possible damage from postage.

All products are genuine as mentioned and each lens vial comes with a sticker with a hidden unique serial code so customers will be able to verify its authenticity on GEO Anti-fake website.

Most of the circle contact lenses are available with prescriptions

How the contact lenses look from down under the bottles

Let's see how the lenses look when worn, and up-close...




They look really natural but at the same time make my eyes look bigger and sparkling bright!
And can I say how really comfy they are when worn, lasting me well and great throughout my day!

When at the site of GeoColouredLenses.com, I realised that they do have a broad range of
contact lenses available for you to choose from!

I used to wear geo lenses, but stopped for a while as I could not find a seller that sells authentic
Geo Medical's Circle Lens at reasonable prices - BUT NOW I'M NO LONGER WORRIED HEHE!

Thank you so much for your passion, honesty and for promoting anti-fake lenses, GEOCOLOUREDLENSES.COM!



YAY to quality & authentic Geo Medical circle lens, and double YAY to beautiful eyes!! :D

Self-ranting + TACT Singapore


Written : 19/9/2015 3.06am

Sometimes you just wonder what are you doing with your life.
You envy others, and then put yourself down.

Then when you can start doing something about it, you procrastinate and it all start over again.

--

This is one of the nights when I actually start to doubt myself again.
It's never-ending.

I want to succeed, maybe in my own way.
Shall not envy and accept the things I cannot change.
Shall do what I can to make the good things happen.

I should cherish because I have some things others might not.
And what seems happy might not be true in life anyway. :D


Felt like I'm talking to myself....zzzz....

Updated today : 20/9/2015

Rant mode off.

Anyway, with the recent launch of TACT Singapore, I have been duper busy.

As you all can see, the concept is more of contemporary and minimal - yes this is more of me although I really like to try different styles too.

 Disparate Crossover Pants $28
Wunderland Floral Top $26

If you are wondering why the prices are a little high for our first launch, it is because
we really bring in good quality items that we promise is worth the value.

I believe that many of you would love to be able to wear apparels that can undergo
many washes and not fade/go out of shape, right? (:

 Meld Ribbed Top $25
Soho Faux Leather Snapback $18

This snapback cap is not your typical cap that you can buy anywhere.
The faux leather is of such thick and good quality that it doesn't easily go out of shape.
My current obsession :D



 Fine Lines Cami Top $23
Joe Cropped Flare Denim $28

This outfit above seriously needs more loving from you all!
Do you all know flare jeans are all the craze now, especially cropped ones?
They make you stand out and make your legs look really long.
Trust me on this (Y)



 Wunderland Floral Top $26
Crepe Tailored Pants $28

My favourite bottom by far.
This pair is so comfy yet versatile and extremely stylish.
Throw on slippers/sandals for casual day-out look or heels for the super chic look!



Surge Dress $28

Currently all sold out, not even available for backorders anymore.
So gorgeous right this piece?!
For a more laid-back and casual look wear it as is.
Or switch it up into something more chic with a mid-waist belt! 



 Calypso Slippers $26

Also selling like hotcakes, and my current to-go slippers.
Friends who hang out with me will see me often in a simple top and denim pants + THIS PAIR.
So casual, minimal but fashionable! 
I like!



Asylum Slit Set $40

They say save the best for the last.
This one is really my absolute favourite out of all.
I understand you might worry about the exposure of skin and all, but
how can you miss such a unique design seriously?

Currently one last set available.
I have one in my wardrobe too :P




----

Currently we are having TWO GIVEAWAYS on our FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM respectively.

GO CHECK IT OUT NOW NO I'M NOT KIDDING
