THANK YOU!!

I won Anna's (Fenua Beaute) Giveaway! Twist Tornado Green Circle Lens Review

It's been months late, but I finally got around to do this!

First, and most importantly, I want to thank Anna for hosting the great giveaway on her blog

She's a fantastic blogger and her layout is spectacular! If you don't already follow her on GFC, go and do it. I'm sure you'll enjoy all of her posts as much as I do. She writes in both English and German, which I find is very unique and dandy!!

I won:

Twist Tornado Green (from Speciallens.com)!

One lens

Both lens (with eyeliner w)

Information:

Color: Green

Water content: 38%

Diameter: 14.5mm

Manufacturer: Dueba

Base curve: 8.6

Duration: 1 year/12 months

Disposable soft lens

Design and Color: 4/5

When I first saw these lenses online, I thought they didn't look spectacular but I decided to try it anyway. I said to myself, "Hey, maybe they'll be nice on my eyes and I might actually like them." And I was right! I really love the design of these lens on my eyes. They are swirls, and remind me a bit of the Barbie Eye lens... Color-wise, the green really shows nicely and changes my eye color. It really was a good pick.

Enlargement: 3.5/5

Since it is a 14.5mm diameter lens, it enlarges just enough to make my eyes look bigger! I'm glad that they are only 14.5mm, though, because I don't prefer to look like a bug w w w I think 14.5mm is a good match for me as of right now. It still gives me a cute and dolly look that I want.

Comfort: 4/5

I didn't have to use eye drops for the first 5 hours! I'm pretty satisfied that it didn't dry out during the day since, in my town, the sun is getting pretty bright even though it's supposed to be wintertime w w I think it was a miracle that these lens can withstand the glaring sunlight, so 5 hours without eye drops is totally amazing in this aspect. I think, when it is less sunny, these lens won't dry out at all the entire day.

Overall: 4/5

Really in love with these lens right now! I suggest getting these for a nice eye color change, and if you still want a black rim around the edge of the circle lens. I imagine it would be great for cosplay and even modeling pictures. w w w w OK, all modeling pictures that I have seen look good with circle lens, but that is just my opinion (I think I may have read too much Ageha and Popteen years back). Thanks, Anna and Speciallens.com!

Thanks for reading this review!

False Eyelashes!!

Today

I tried mixing eyelashes for a dramatic effect without a lot of eyeliner or eye shadow

In this particular piece,

I didn't use any eye shadow at all!

I used three pairs of eyelashes:

1) Darkness EO Top Eyelash, 473 yen 

2) Decorative (Bottom) Eyelash no.4, 1025 yen

3) Eye Lashes (Extensions), 157 yen

The lashes I bought were very affordable and they feel really soft on my eyelids

First, I put on my eyeliner normally with no flares

Then I applied the Eye Lashes extensions to my top eyelid on the outer corner

After, I put the Darkness lashes on right above the Eye Lashes extensions

Then, I applied the Decorative Eyelash to the bottom of my eye

(I usually put the edge of the eyelash 2cm away from the outer corner of my eye)

I touch up with eyeliner on the top of my eyelid and the outer corner of my eyelashes

Also, I draw a crease line near my tear ducts to extend it and outline a little below the waterline; the inner corner of my eye

The result is

Pretty dramatic!

No eye shadow is required to make this

I find that my eye shadow creates a very powdery effect on my skin, which I don't like unless I am going to take pictures (the lighting is very important!)

And I was very satisfied with it

It is very dolly

But won't make your makeup look caked on either

Can't decide which eyelash to wear?

You can mix and match your eyelashes and just try them out like this!!

This will not only save you time,

But it will also help you save money instead of buying thicker false lashes!

What I'm wearing:

-Skin 79 BB Cream (Pink Edition)

-K Palette Long Lasting Eyeliner (24h wp)

-Darkness EO eyelash

-Eye Lashes extensions eyelash

-Decorative Eyelash bottom eyelash

-Feelcon 30 Days Comfy Black circle lens (14.5mm)

Stay tuned for more!

30 Days Comfy Black Circle Lens Review

I am back from my hiatus!

So now

Here is my review to the

30 Days Comfy Black

One lens in my eye

Both lens in

Information:

Color: Black

Diameter: 14.5mm

Water content: 38%

Duration: 1 month/30 days

Soft disposable lens

Before I start,

The packaging from the circle lens is called

"Feelcon"

And not the regular Hana 30 Days that many of the reviews online have

I did my research and also found a document here

The document says that Feelcon is the new name for Hana 30 Days brand

It seems to be pretty genuine that it is made in Korea

I've only ever seen Feelcon in Thailand

Color/Design: 9/10

I really love black circle lens that spikes toward the middle. It looks really natural, but under sunlight, it gives you a really nice brown-to-black effect to your eyes.

It's not a pitch black color, but it is a black color noticeable enough to darken your eye color. Since your eyeball is white, the black color of the circle lens also enlarges your eye a lot more because of the white and black color contrast.

Enlargement: 8/10

Although these are 14.5mm in diameter, they don't enlarge as much as my WX Choco Brown lens. This is perfect for me because they don't make me look like a soulless bug or an alien. I can actually wear these lens with very minimal makeup and still look very normal. These circle lens actually look a little closer to 14.2mm or 14.3mm than 14.5mm. It's still a very natural look.

Comfort: 9/10

Although these are rated as the comfiest circle lens for monthly brands, I've had a little problem with one of the circle lens from the blister packages. The lens stuck to the bottom of the blister package, so I had to carefully peel it off. I checked for any damages, but there are none. Ever since soaking it then, I feel a slight discomfort when I put that lens in. After about 5 minutes or so, though, the lens are not felt at all. They are really comfortable for over 8 hours!

I did not need eye drops at all for these circle lens.

Overall: 8.5/10

Feelcon 30 Days Comfy Black circle lens are quite an investment because it really is at a good price for anyone who really wants a natural look with circle lens... daily! This type of circle lens is perfect for anyone; whether you are a girl or a boy, if you want a black circle lens that doesn't look too freaky, these are for you!

Ifax Black Lens Review

Hello!

It's time for another circle lens review!!

This time, it is going to be on:

Ifax Black Circle Lens

from SecretEyes.org

In the case

One lens on

Both lens on

Unfortunately, the lens I received were defective!!

I will not be wearing these lens again (QAQ)

They look GORGEOUS, though!!

Design/Color: 9/10

I absolutely love the fact that these lens are only 14mm and they're black colored, too! Nowadays, there aren't as many non-GEO lenses that are colored in black and are in the diameter of 14mm. The flower-like pattern makes it blend very well, and inside its petals are a dark grey color. It doesn't look ink black, but enough black to change your eye color.

Comfort: 3/10

Unfortunately, these lens were defective! The prescription/power was -0.25 off, they slid in my eye constantly, and were very irritating and painful at times. Perhaps, if they weren't defective, I would have had a better experience with these lens.

Enlargement: 8/10

The lens doesn't enlarge too much, but the black-on-white contrast with my eyeball and the color of the lens makes it seem bigger. I think 14mm and 14.2mm lens in dark colors work well for me. I love the enlargement of this!

Overall: 7/10

These are really nice lens! I would consider getting another pair of these. Hopefully, the next ones I order will not be defective. I must've gotten a bad pair. I haven't heard any bad reviews about these lens. If you're looking for a black circle lens that isn't too big or too black, these might be for you!

See you!

Another Chocolate Brown Lens Preview

I opened up my lens since I'm going onto an abrupt trip to California!

How cool is that?

Sometimes, lens vials are difficult to open (oAo)

When I poured it onto my hand to get the lens out~

In the lens case to soak for about 8 hours

I have a feeling that I'm going to be in love with these!!

Lens review coming soon~

GEO XCK-105 Black Lens Review

Hello!! How are you? 

Today I'm going to be reviewing GEO's XCK-105 lens

So...

In the case

On my finger (the inside design is same as the outside)

Left eye: no lens on, Right eye: Lens on

Both lens on

Information:

Color: Black

Diameter: 14.8mm

Water content: 38%

Base curve: 8.6

Duration: 1 year/12 months

Disposable soft lens

Design and Color: 3/5

This design is pretty basic and simple. It is a 1-tone color lens and really doesn't change the eye color into a shocking bright color. The black is like a dark ink, unlike some other black lens that are more of a dark grey or brown. But, being a black color, you can see my regular brown eye color through the XCK-105 lens.The design is really simple and it just adds a black ring around your eyes; it doesn't change your eye color completely at all.  It makes an interesting effect; it really grew on me and I wish I could have eyes like that naturally!

Enlargement: 5+/5

These lens are so BIG! I kind of wish that I would have gotten the smaller version (the CK-105 lens) because my eyes are almost completely swallowed up by these almost 15mm lens. If anyone has large eyes, these might fit on their eyes a lot more than mine. My father, for instance, can't handle 14mm lens because they are too small for his eye, so I recommend to use 14.2mm, 14.5mm, or even 15mm lens for good enlargement on big eyes. My eyes are really comparatively small, so I definitely look like a bug without makeup.

Comfort: 3/5

GEO is really not too comfortable with my eyes. Maybe it is the diameter of the circle lens, but I don't think they are too comfortable. They're comfort is average. I needed about 4 eye drops once it started becoming afternoon and a few more eye drops in the evening. The GEO Nudy Blues I have are quite fine, but they still require eye drops.

Overall: 3/5

These should be great for costuming or just for taking pictures if you want really big and black eyes! It's a good investment if your know how to accessorize with it!

I use my XCK-105s for modeling...

And cosplay (I was Haku from Naruto)!

Thanks for reading!

See you soon!
