GEO Mari Gold Brown : // lens review!

So I've been testing out new brown lenses since I tossed my old pair. They were getting uncomfy.

Not sure why I keep buying GEO when they're just not as comfy as EOS
 but these ones are pretty good!

While not as comfy as my EOS bubble blues, these are such a nice spin on the boring brown lenses.



They blend in very well with a dark limbal ring that helps them look more natural~
Not enlarging. Just 14.0 mm~
[don't look at my roots. I don't have the money to redye just yet SHHHHHHHH]


But then the gold flecks in the center really pop. Not a huge scary difference, but if people are close/observant enough it does get noticed.
I like them a lot!

Not sure if I'll repurchased because for me, EOS is better for everyday wear just because of comfort.

New haircut // + LUSH golden wonder bath bomb review// + I.fairy kirei grey/gray review



new haircut/blunt bangs!!

Whoaa sorry readers I've been busy.

ALA aka Anime Los Angeles is coming up and I'm super stressed getting ready for it and also work is busy too since it's Christmas soon and everyone wants to buy chocolates.


For ALA I'll be making Shego from Kim Possible, Zatanna from Young Justice season 2, and two more cosplays that are already done.


Since Mike is cosplaying with me I have to make Drakken and Nightwing too hahaha

Here's some progress pics though!



I bought a base suit from eBay as well as the base mask. But as you can see it's still a lot of work to do yet.


I've only been taking progress pics occasionally.
And all of Mike ahahahaha

Anyways onto the reviews:


LUSH advertises this as a really fun bath bomb WHICH IT WAS OMG

Mike bought this for me as a little gift to cheer me up when I was even more stressed out
and then I used it and bought another one because I loved it so much.

When you drop it in, it starts out as gold and transitions to blue AND THEN YELLOW STARS COME OUT. They dissolve over time which is handy.


And so the bath water turns blue, but there was golden swirls of very fine fine gold dust swirling. So everytime you move, the water glimmers.



It's gorgeous and a really great way to pamper yourself.

~~~~~~~


And finally onto my kirei greys!

I bought them from iszocirclelens and I love them!
They came faster than my other package from Lensvillage which I ordered first. So they're quite good!


Came in bubble wrap envelope and with these super cute lens cases! I can't wait to use them hahahaha. And even with a keychain. Not sure how practical it is but it helps me differentiate further from my other cases.



AUTHENTICATION STICKERS



And finally.

Some close up shots with flash/without flash.



















The limbal ring is decently thick and keeps it from looking too unnatural. 
The enlargement is really good but not freaky. I feel like I can get away with wearing these with minimal makeup too.

The blending from brown to grey is really really nice. It only looks blended from far away though. 
Any closer and you can see the pupil opening.

Super duper comfy and exactly what I needed color wise. 

Not too dark but not super light either. 
I wanted a nice in between grey and that's what I got.

Also I reviewed these since there aren't nearly enough good reviews of the kirei's on dark eyes, especially this color. And since my eyes are a very very dark brown, this is as dark as they're going to get on eyes.

That's it for now. Hope everyone is having happy holidays and some quality family/friends time!

Until next time.
I leave this photo of my home area. It's snowing like crazy recently. 
SO MUCH SNOW.

Massive Circle Lens review// Dolly+ Red, Kimchi Bambi Blue, Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green

Ho there! It's been a super long while!

Graduation kept me on my toes and it was a hectic ride but finally I'm done and ready to get my name out there and hopefully get a studio job this summer! Can't give up!

But in the meantime, here's some seriously belated reviews.


First up are my new green lenses.


The package from Lens Village arrived super quickly!


Came with a free lens case and bubble wrapped nicely~



With Flash


Without flash.
Overall the color is pretty natural and doesn't stand out too much. But in the right lighting, it really pops~

Vibrancy : 4
Comfort: 5

They're also amazingly comfortable for their size. I can't even feel them in my eyes once I pop them in. I can't wait to keep wearing them.

Out of the three, this is the comfiest pair of lenses to date!




These lenses are from  I.Candy  which can be found here!
Bubble wrapped nicely~




Without flash! 




With flash! They're super vibrant and I adore them. Definitely one of the largest lenses I own and totally noticeable.

Out of all three, these are the second most comfiest.

Vibrancy: 4.75
Comfort: 4.5


These ones are from Japanese Candy  !!!


Super vibrant color




Sorry for my super tired face. It was before Sakuracon so con prep was killing meeeeee. My left eye is the one worn backwards. Right eye is correct way to wear them. As you can see, they're super amazingly vibrant in flash.

These ones are not my most comfy lenses but for a con day, I survived!

Vibrancy: 5
Comfort: 4.25


And that's my big update.
I think I've reviewed all the lenses I own to date.
What a task.

Until next time!

Lens reviews! GEO + Neo Dali

I'm finally getting down to reviewing all the lenses I'm circulating through this year!

GEO 3-TONE GREEN,

GEO NUDY GRAY,

GEO SUPER NUDY BLUE,

NEO DALI EXTRA BROWN

===============================================

I like to thoroughly research each lens and compare and debate between many kinds before finally purchasing pairs so generally I am prepared for their color/comfort and appearance!

I bought these from a facebook seller called Doll Eyes!
Link to the shop can be found here~ https://www.facebook.com/doll.eyes1

I ordered with my friends so there were major discounts to be had.  I think it was around 15 dollars a pair?
It was great!  I also ordered the super nudy blues and nudy grays in that batch.

-----------------------------------------

The GEO 3-TONE GREEN's or the tri color greens as they're sometimes called were such a pleasant surprise to me.  They showed up exactly like stock photos and the color was spot on!


An indoor photo of me...having an epiphany.... IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES.

N as Lightning was just not amused HA HA
but you can see that my eyes ARE NOT brown.  Which is lovely!

Photo Credits: Jonathan Kan
And even without the expensive flash and SLR, you can still get the color to show up really well! ^ In this pic it looks like they took another person's eyeballs and put them in my head LOL ahah|||
 I'm still amazed everytime I look at it!
Also the multi-tonal hues were perfect for the Vanille cosplay since hers are not a flat color and it looked really natural!  As for comfort, these are not circle lenses. Merely colored imo, as they did not enlarge at all. This helped keep it very comfortable and wearable throughout the day. However I did wish for a bit of enlargement because I always want my eyes to look bigger. :c Oh well! For the expectations I had, these lenses were a great investment!

Color: 10/10
Size: 5/10 <-- no visible enlargement at all!
Comfort: 9/10 <-- still needed eyedrops once or twice throughout my 9+ hour day~

-----------------------------------------

GEO NUDY GRAY'S

These are a good beginner pair for anyone who wants decent color/enlargement and comfort.  They're not SUPER comfy, but they're not the worst I've worn.

I really love the halo effect that GEO nudy's have so I might be biased, but I also think the color is quite vibrant. If you buy gray you'll get gray.  Not just a darker brown or whatever.  They show up no matter what and I've had people in school stop me and ask me what color I'm wearing ha ha.  The only downside is that the gray's can sometimes be seen as blue's. They've got a cooler tint to them so it's all personal preference if you like that or not!

Here are some photos of me wearing them to show my point better!

With flash they show up SO intensely. And in this photo they're a nice color somehow~

Definitely enlarged eyes! HA ha O___O
My lovely friend on the left who had been visiting from TO to spend her summer with us!

Also a good pic to show my Dolly Wink no. 6's! ^



Same night.  Significantly more intoxicated LOL oh man|||
I love my hs friends I keep in touch with <3

Color: 8/10 <-- It definitely shows color but not the gray I was expecting. Still nice though~
Enlargement: 8/10 <--Definitely enlarging.  Need makeup to wear these haha and they're really eye-catching!
Comfort: 6/10 <-- I usually need eyedrops every few hours with these ones.  ;___;

-----------------------------------

GEO SUPER NUDY BLUE

Theeeeese are okay.  I was kinda underwhelmed by these because I wanted them for cosplay. This cosplay specifically.

concept credits: superjacket.tumblr.com
Check her art out! She draws lots of f(x) fanart, vocaloids stuff, and of course her original concept of the student council social network personas! It's all very funny and charming stuff <333


I put these lenses on- OH AND ANOTHER THING.  I have very bad vision so I'm sometimes limited by what contacts I can buy so it was disappointing that I had to get these in plano.  But I digress that was my choice to buy them STILL.

The color is not vibrant at all. It takes extreme lighting to have them show up siiigh. Otherwise it's like black lenses with a HINT of blue in normal indoor lighting.

Here're some pics.


See?  It looks black.


Photo credits: Edwin Lee!
From L TO R: Eijiko, Kathy, Anna, and me.

Eyes still black. =A=

Color: 5/10 <-- so disappointed.
Enlargement: 9/10 <--- 16mm so they're huge! But just like an expanse of black on my eyes with a hint of blue. hahaha
Comfort: 5/10 <-- The size took some getting used to and they're worse than the nudy's for drying out my eyes. ~___~

I would not repurchase.

------------------------------------------------------

NEO DALI EXTRA BROWN

These lenses are so comfy and natural! But they are really great.  Sure they look natural, but if someone's known you for a while they'll notice when you wear them!

Here are some photos!


A nice indoor lighting shot of them.  You can see a hint of brown but I bought these because they looked natural but still noticeable!

Sorry for the almost up-nose shot of my boyfriend HA HA


A pro shot of me wearing them!  And again with my no.6 dolly winks~ I love them very much.

Photo Credits: Edwin Lee

As for comfort, these are almost on par with the Geo tricolors which is a pleasant surprise really! Considering these actually enlarge. I rarely use eyedrops for this pair of lenses!

Color: 8/10 <--- They could be a brighter brown. I did want something a bit lighter, but the photos were a bit inaccurate.  Or maybe my eyes are just really really dark ha ha.
Enlargement: 7/10 <-- Not too freaky! I can wear these without makeup and be alright. Not get weird stares.  >A<
Comfort: 9/10 Great! But sometimes I get a little dry. Not dry enough for eyedrops though~




Aghhh that was such a huge blog post.  Sorry for so much to read but I figure that if I can even help one person with this post it'll be worth it!

Until next time!

I bought the limited set of Dolly Winks that tsubasa recently released and they should be here within the next week or so! I can't wait to get them! So until next time~
