[KIEHL'S ULTRA FACIAL SET]
So this isn't the first time that I've blogged about Kiehl's, but I couldn't help but make another post about it lol
I recently stepped into the Kiehl's in Bellevue, during a short weekend trip and the lady there was nice enough to give me the PERFECT sized KIEHL'S ULTRA FACIAL CREAM. Having this...my travel collection is complete!! Wheee~ hehe I never leave the house for a trip without my Kiehl's!!

So I've been using two different Smashbox primers, the Photo Finish Light and Photo Finish (Original Formula). I've come across these issues:
PHOTO FINISH LIGHT
Pros: I love how light weight this primer is, I can wear it over my sunscreen--no problem; I never have to worry about an oily face after a few hours of wearing this, even with sunscreen!
Cons: Too light for me, I can't see too big of an effect of this product. I need to use quite a bit of this product to feel like it's working for me.
PHOTO FINISH THE ORIGINAL FORMULA
Pros: Beautiful finish after makeup application; for my skin, skin looks polished.
Cons: This product works best on me without any sunscreen. The way that this products works best for me, is to apply this right after my toner and before foundation/bb cream. Perhaps it's because I use BB Cream rather than foundation, but I can not mix this with my Kiehl's sunscreen. Mind you my sunscreen is very light weighted and applies more like a toner even.
I needed something in between...
Smashbox has given me the answer to my prayers!!
PHOTO FINISH MORE THAN PRIMER UNIFICATEUR PLUS
Pros: I've been using this primer for one week now, and it's GREAT. It gives me the effect that I'm looking for, primes great with my Dr.G Hydra Intensive BB Cream. Also, what I love about this primer is that it doesn't make my skin feel SUPER greasy by the end of the day! I will definitely re-purchase!
Cons: I have a feeling that I'm going to use this up really quickly lol That's the only con I have about this :P

[G&G PINK CIRCLE LENSES REVIEW]
I got these lenses from the Night Market actually, I bought few different pairs. I haven't actually opened the other ones yet, but I did try out these pink G&G ones! The salesperson at the stand was really nice and actually gave this pair to me :) Freebie! They used to have an online store...but not anymore :( I wish I could link them!

These were a gift from the store! :)
Feel -
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ 4/5
Quite alright, I haven't really worn these out for long periods of time, but so far so good :) Pretty normal for circle lenses lol
Overall -
★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ 3/5
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of enlargement when choosing circle lenses, these lenses are great in photographs but are not very natural. (Most likely due to these lenses being pink) Honestly they look a little bit too scary for me to wear on regular occasions during the day time :) Would I re-purchase? Maybe not, pink is a little too much for me ^_^
