{Lens Review} Secret Brown - Keautystore.com (promo code!)

As promised I have a new circle lens review, this time sponsored by the amazing Keautystore.com (formerly Liliesshop.com). I have a two previous reviews already of the original shop which was based in Vancouver Canada until their recent move to Korea. Since their move, they have added some new products, new perks and changed their name as well. 

         LILIESSHOP HAIR REVIEW                           LIOELE LIP COLOUR REVIEW

I have always loved the site and frequently visited it to see all the new products that they regularly put up. I originally wanted to purchase another set of clip in hair extensions (which you can see the review on here), since mine were finally starting to get a little ratty after a year of constant use.  While going through the site I found many new items I wanted to purchase and contacted the site. After placing an order and having a pleasant conversation with one of the workers, the wait began for my items.

1 week later I came home from work to find a wonderful little package waiting for me from Korea, which was a total surprise! Upon opening the package I saw a bunch of little goodies, and a hint of bubble wrap covering something at the bottom.

When I opened up the bubble wrap I was happy to see two little Neo Cosmo lens vials and the cutest little mouse animal lens case ever!

Now onto the Review!

Secret Brown

Brand: Neo Cosmo

Price: 19.00 (pair)

Base Curve: 8.60

Diameter: 14.2

Life Span: 6-8 months

Enlargement: 2.5/5

These are probably the smallest lenses I've ever had. When having one in and one out there is hardly any difference. This would be perfect for someone who is new to circle lenses or someone that is looking for a casual everyday lens that isn't too outrageous.

Colour / Design: 3.5/5

These lenses are a gorgeous yellow colour in the vile with a bold black ring around the outside, and little dots towards the middle to help blend into your natural eye. On my eyes they turn them a really pretty deep brown with almost olive green tones. As I have naturally black eyes, some lenses make my eyes look more chocolate brown, but these ones have a really pretty, dark olive green/brown look to them.

Comfort: 3/5

For the most part these lenses are quite comfortable. I haven't worn lenses in a very long time, so my eyes are adjusting, but I can definitely see myself wearing these lenses for a full 8 hours. However they are quite drying and would need to be moistened from time to time with eye drops.

Over All: 4/5

These lenses aren't my favourite, but they are wonderful for anyone new to circle lenses or looking for a simple go to for every day. My favourite aspects are the colour it gives my eyes and the comfort. Personally I like having a bit more of a design and a larger look, but these would be perfect lenses for me to wear to work on a regular basis.

Also they were so kind as to give me a promo code for all of you wonderful readers to use!

November Favs!

I am back with another favourites post! This time much closer to the end of the month. For this favourites post, I will be posting not only fashion, but electronics, beauty and skincare products. :)

I have had these lenses for a while, but haven't worn them in a very long time. I have recently started wearing them and I am in love with them! They are the Bambi sesame grey lenses that I received from solution lens. Hands down my favourite lens I own!

Next is my spiked head band. Now that I have a super cutesy hairstyle, I like wearing this to get a little more edge into my style. When I'm having my angsty goth days, its the perfect accessory!

My favourite new toys!! my mac book and my bamboo!! (AHHHHHHH!) These are two amazing friggin electronics that everyone should have...just sayin. I use my mac everyday (obviously) and the bamboo i use to draw animations and things. I'm still figuring out how to use it but so far its pretty amazing.

One of my favourite sweater jackets is this one from Anthropologie. The front is your basic military style jacket, and the back has this gorgeous knit pattern. Its not very warm, at all, but it looks amazing with everything you try to put it with.

I bought these tights from Ardene's I bought 2 for 10 bucks, one black and one navy blue. These tights are so cheap and so amazing. The are actually lined with really nice soft fleece like material, so they keep my legs really warm in the winter. I bought them in a medium large since i have longer legs, and they fit perfectly! In case you don't know, when buying tights, the size correlates with the length, not the width.

I have probably talked about using this soap before, but I will say again, I LOVE THIS SOAP! I have hyper pigmentation spots on my face from acne and I have tried literally everything over the counter and ridiculously expensive. I had finally found this product in an Asian grocery store, and decided to buy it to even out my skin tone and it went above and beyond my expectations. My hyper pigmentation started to settle down, my skin tone over all evened out, and even fixed the dark area under my arms from saving. For 3 dollars a bar, it does amazing magical things!

These shoes I bought during November and forgot to include in my last haul, but the are amazing. I wear them almost every day and the match so many different outfits! The only thing is that they aren't that comfy so i had to add and insole to help me wear it for longer hours. I bought them at Forever 21 during their 10 dollar off event, and got them for only 30 bucks. :)

 Lastly these are my nails for this week :) Hope you enjoyed reading about things that i like!! If you want a more in depth post on anything let me know :) Stay Tuned!!!

{CL Review} Geo Xtra Sakura Pink Circle Lens!

This week has been pretty hectic to say the least, but I finally have found time to do a review for my newest lenses sponsored by Solution-Lens.com! I've always wanted to try pink lenses, and always thought the sakura style was really pretty, so I was super excited to receive them in the mail along with my Sesame Grey lenses.

Dia: 15.0 mm

Water Content: 38-42%

Base Curve: 8.7

Life Span: 1 year

Colour/Design: 4/5

-Bathroom Lighting-

Looking at the lenses in their vials, they are a really vibrant pink colour, with a darker rose red colour outlining it. They are flat colours with no gradient effect between the 2 colours. I was a little nervous at first, because I didn't know how this effect would work out, since I usually stick to the 3 tone blending colours rather then flat out hues. Once they were in my eyes though, the pink colours were only slightly toned down from their bright colours in the vial. My dark eyes helped to blend the harsh line between the two shades of pink and made a really pretty contrast, but wasn't too crazy in my opinion.

Enlargement: 5/5

-Daylight-

For 15mm, these lenses are very wearable without giving off that bug eyed/ super dolly look. They are pretty big in my opinion, but one they are in they look to be a normal size. Maybe its just because my eyes are huge so they look normal lol who knows :)

Comfort: 3.5/5

Even from this far away you can still see a hint of pink :)

The comfort with these lenses are less then stellar. I can feel every inch of them as they go into my eyes, and they start feeling dry after only a half hour. Before putting them in the first time, I had to soak them for almost a week to get them soft enough to put in without making my eyes water and feel all the edges scraping my eyeball. With some eye drops, they should be fine, but I would rather not have to put in eye drops all the time.

Overall: 4/5

For the most part, these lenses were pretty decent. The colours very wearable, and the size isn't too big for the design. The comfort it what brought down the rating of these lenses. I cant stand having an uncomfortable lens so I was disappointed with that aspect. I do like the shade of pink they turn my eyes though, and how noticeable they are, but in a good way. :) I do recommend these lenses, but would advise you keep some eye drops close by.

My next post will be a shopping haul and outfit of the day :) Stay tuned for that!!

Goodnight lovelies!!

{CL Review} Princess Mimi Bambi Sesame Grey Lenses

I have finally gotten my grey lenses from Solution-Lens <3 They are, as the title suggests, the Princess Mimi Bambi Sesame Grey lenses..that is one hell of a title. The came in a package with my First pink lenses!!!! But  that review will come next week ;)

Dia: 15.0 mm

Water Content: 38-42%

Base Curve: 8.7

Life Span: 1 year

Design & Colour: 5/5

These lenses are absolutely beautiful. They have a thick black limbal ring with a flower design leading into the center, with specks of light grey, dark grey and a cool blue grey tone through out which gives off a very beautiful gradient effect with your natural colour. It also has a circle of golden specks in the center which helps blend into deeper brown eyes.

Enlargement: 4/5

-Bathroom Lighting -

With 15mm diameter, these lenses are pretty big, but are still very wearable. They don't give off that bug eyed effect but you can see the size on them. They aren't the biggest Iv ever seen but they do have a good size to them. Definitely noticeable, but in a good way

Comfort: 4/5

-Bathroom Lighting-

Like all contacts, the first time putting them in wasn't that nice. When putting them in I could definitely feel the rim of the lens as it was going into my eye. :/ But as usual, after about 15-20 min they became super comfy, and I could feel how hydrated(?) they were against my eyeballs. 

Overall: 4.5/5

-Sunlight-

All in all these are wonderful lenses. I only took a half point off because of how uncomfortable they are when I first put them in. I like to put my lenses in quick and be able to get on with the rest of my day, but with these I have to wait until they are comfy and until my eyes stop watering. Once that's done with though, they  become the prettiest grey, most comfortable thing ever put into my face.

TIME FOR MORE PICTURES !!!

{CL Review} Geo Olive Blue Lenses

I think I have just found my new favourite Circle Lens. :O

These are the beautiful Geo Olive Blue lenses that I received from Solution Lens.com! On the site, they are priced at 19.90USD which includes free shipping and a lens case as well.

Dia: 14.0mm

Water Content: 38%

Base Curve: 8.5

Colour/Design: 5/5

This is the exact colour of blue I was hoping for! They are a bright blue in the sunlight, but when put with my dark black/brown natural eye colour they turn into a subtle navy colour that is very wearable and natural looking. So many people kept trying to guess why I looked different but not one guessed my lenses until I pointed them out. They have a navy blue limbal ring which helps to blend the colour out, as well as a black sketch design coming from the center of the lens.

Enlargement:  3/5 

Late Night Lamp Light

It is a standard 14mm lens, so the enlargement isn't that big. This helps create a more natural look that is very wearable and appropriate for all occasions. I would say these lenses focus more on the colour and design then the size of the lens.

Comfort: 5/5

3 hours in at work ;) 

These lenses are my most comfortable Geo lens to date. The actually feel in the same range as my Vassen lenses which have a water content of around 42%. I wore them for at least 6 hours without remembering they were contacts, and with no drying or discomfort.

Over All: 5/5

  Bathroom lighting                                        Natural Lighting

These lenses are definitely a hit, not just with me but also my mom and boyfriend, who both usually hate my contacts. The colour is gorgeous on dark eyes, and would go really nicely with light eyes as well. They are comfortable and very trendy, and I cant wait to wear them again!

More Pictures!

Outfit post / Sneak Peak

Another quick post tonight before I wither away to sleep land. I recently went to a comedy club over the weekend and enjoyed an evening filled with lots of laughs and drinks. I really didn't know what to wear since it was my first time going out to a comedy club, and I really didn't want to be over dressed or under dressed for the occasion.

I tried to play it safe with black leggings and a really nice, semi sheer collared top. It just HAD to start raining before I left, so I through on a denim jacket and combat boots to set off the cute collar with some edgy goodness. For a bit of colour, I added a really pretty amethyst crystal necklace I had bought earlier in the day, for only 5 bucks might I add! To tie the purple into the outfit, I did a purple smokey eye with a lively pink lip and a natural looking blush.

I feel like this outfit really went well with the light hearted mood of the comedy club but still looked cute and was very comfortable and chic. I definitely could have worn this look to work or on a date as well, since its so easy to put together and appropriate for almost all occasions.

...

Now something completely unrelated to the comedy night..but super exciting!! I came home to a new package today! Try to guess whats in it!

It came in a yellow envelope from Thailand  (hmm a lot like another package from a few weeks ago.)

 & Everything was bubble rapped a few times...

 

Came with a case, and a little bag of bubble wrap

2 vials.........

My Olive Blue Lenses!!!!  

STAY TUNED for a review!!
