Still my favourite lenses to date so it's only fitting my first circle lens review goes to the EOS Ice Brown contacts.

Diary | Dropping bombs
I received a handful of bath bombs for my birthday and I thought I would document my experience with them. This will be some what a review of them, but mainly to show off how pretty they are!
(I don't know why but I feel like I just point out that I didn't take all these baths in one day...duh)
Lush: Dragon's Egg was a gift from Jenny. I chose to use it first because I thought it had a citrus smell. If you don't know by now, I'm all about lemons and limes. However this isn't a citrus bath bomb, it's actually fruity. The citrus side just stuck out more to me and I was glad for it.
I'm not sure if it was meant to be cracked open like that? Maybe it is because the inside is cute to look at.
I didn't exactly read the description so I had no idea it was a fizzing AND frothing bath bomb! It was a nice surprised, and it turned out to be my first experience with a frothing bath bomb.
How cool does this look? I made the water quite hot and since it's winter, steam was escaping the water's surface. I may have, or may not have pretended to be the mother of dragons...
After everything mixed it. There was glitter in the water too! I didn't do a good job of capturing it though...
Next up, Lush: Honey Bee, also from Jenny.
Had a very relaxing scent! It smelt like sweet caramel and honey.
I don't know why but I didn't get many photos of this one.
Not a bath bomb, but a bubble bar! I'll keep this one short because I don't know the name of the bomb...haha. Cara gave me this one and she forgot the name herself too.
How cute is her present-packing?
The smell was a musky type of lavender. It's a little strong for me because I'm more or a fruity kinda gal. But after the bath this probably stayed on me for the longest! The smell left on your skin is obviously less concentrated so it was very lovely.
Lastly I gave a go to Lush: Space Girl from Emily.
Yes there's glitter!
Not sure how to describe this scent... It was somewhat bubble gum-my. Similar to the Godmother soup but a little bit less sweet, and a little more musky. I couldn't put my tongue on the other scent I was smelling but according to the description it has a blackcurrant scent, which I'd have to agree with.
It's my first purple bath! Doesn't look so cute???
Not a bath bomb but it is apart of Emily's gift and the soap is too cute not to share.

Review + Beauty | Naked 2 and Look of The Day
My lovely friends Daisy, Anh, and Monynna gave me a combined birthday present! They bought a reflector for photography, Urban Decay Naked 2, and Beauty Bay Blending Sponge!
Daisy insist I do a review post of Naked 2 and I'm more than happy too. Daisy has Naked 1, so maybe Anh will treat herself to Naked 3, and we'd be the complete set!
Naked 2 has a tin like packaging compared to the suede on hard cardboard packaging of Naked 1. I'm not sure what metal it is exactly but it's tin type, but not the type to be easily dented.
One swipe swatches with just the tip of my finger. As you can eye, it's quite pigmented.
All of the colours are shimmer shadows except foxy and tease.
At first I thought half baked and chopper was a little out of place being in a neutral palette because they're warm colours, but after looking at the picture above it seems pretty neutral to me. Must be because of the silver specks. My favourite so far is half baked, booty call, and busted.
I thought tease would be a nice colour to contour with but I found the colour to not give me the natural shadow look for my skin tone. I've tried buck and naked from Naked 1, which works a lot better for contouring if you're deciding on that factor. However it all comes down to your skin tone! Other than the contouring side, the palette is everything it seems! Beside contouring would have been a bonus, not a promise of the product. I will kept experimenting contouring with tease, maybe I can make it work if I apply it more sheer.
It came with samples for their eye primers.
This is the dupe of the Beauty Blender sponge.
I had one before but a pink one definitely tickle my fancy more. My friends know me too well.
Now for my look of the day!
Wet your sponge with a moisture mist or just water.
I'm using Shiseido Sun Protection Liquid Foundation in SP60.
Pea size amount. I normally use the back of my hand but today my hand was covered in red paint so I doubt you guys would like seeing that.
Blendy-blend.
For blush I use Shiseido Luminizing Satin Face Color in RD103.
I apply it to my cheekbones near the outer sides of my face, not inner.
Contouring is next. I use Shiseido Bronzer in 2 Medium Naturel with Mac Fafi blush(?) brush.
I follow my natural shadow and I would advise you to do the same if you want to look natural.
Next I use Shiseido Natural Eyebrow Pencil in BR602 and just fill in my brow by it's natural shape.
Now comes the fun part!
I apply tease to my "crease", or where my crease would go if I had one.
Then I apply busted to the corners of my "crease".
Foxy goes on my brow bones and inner tear ducts.
Just because I wanted to use more colours then one pair of eyes can handle - I went in with half baked on the center of my lids.
Curl lashes.
Tight line eyeliner (i.e on lash line)
Smug eyeliner work and apply mascara!
Last step. I used YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in number 2.
Finished look. Sorry for pulling an Ariana and only doing profile poses but I felt like it?
The makeup look doesn't really show in pictures because it's a natural look, but I guess this just shows you that if you want something subtle, this is the look for you.
As bonus here's my outfit for the day too.
Top - Mirrou | Jeans - Glassons | Belt - Pagani | Heels - Mr Price | Necklace - DIY
Thanks for reading and happy Sunday!
