My First Circle Lens (Eyecandylens) Geo Honey wing in Brown.

Wazzup!! Its bin a while Xp I've finished all my exams now :) so i can relax (kinda) and destress myself (unlikely).
Onwards! I decided to join the crazy circle lens faze! Originally my first order was for the EOS adult grey lenses from Mycandyeyes. However they failed to deliver and reply to my e-mails so I opened up a paypal dispute and got my money back. Whats quite freaky is that i'm the only one who got into this situation. I've read loads of comments about Mycandyeyes failure to deliver their lenses in the april-may period.

Even so, I decided to try out another internet shop ( you would have thought i would be put off by now haha)
I eventually found Eyecandylens, whats cool about them is that they have FREE SHIPPING worldwide! :D
The lens are a reasonable price, not too expensive and not suspiciously cheap. The site is also easy to navigate but it would be cooler if they had a "prices from lowest/highest" tab.
Whats also good about this place is that the costumers can review the lens they bought, and they also have a Facebook page,where people can review and talk to them, which i think it quite good because then if something like MycandyEyes happened. You would know! Ah, they also have a blog which reviews lens, which u can check out and it can help you decide which lenses to buy :D

Communication: They sent me the necessary e-mails, informing me when they had dispatched the lens etc.
                         but I personally didn't speak to them about anything because I had no problems.
Shipping: IS FAST. They dispatched my items 2 days after I ordered. ( I ordered on a saturday evening, and they dispatched monday morn) I recieved a tracking number to keep an eye on my items whereabouts. It took 10 days to arrive in the UK from HK.

In my package i recieved two bottles wrapped in bubble wrap in a cute drawstring pocket.

Pretty tightly packed nee!


My circle lens! with mostaches for that added coolness
They also gave me a card to keep track on when my lens expire!

I used Elisa Sungs video to help me cleanse my lens for wear. Since we live in different countries i used a different solution to deep cleanse my lenses but essentially has the same effect.
<-- Welcome EasySept! This solution is for deep cleansing of proteins and other bacteria which could be on the lenses. It will take 6hours to complete the cleansing cycle, be aware not to put them in before then, because its a peroxide solution it will damage your pretty eyes.




<-- You can tell its working when you see all those bubbles! For this solution you must only use the lens case provided.

After using this deep cleanse solution, I changed to a multi-purpose solution.  It is called COMPLETE RevitaLens ( I bought it from my nearest Asda) It comes with a case and a bottle of solution w. instructions.


GEO HONEY WING REVIEW.(14mm)


natural light. My iris is 11mm, so this is pretty enlarging for me!

with flash. looking bug eyed in the morning haha
 Comfort: Very comfortable!I actually wore them for more than 8 hours yesterday...(ashamed)
I could feel them at the beginning, but after wearing them for a while, i couldn't feel them at all :) But for people who have never worn contacts before, it might be a strange sensation before your eyes adjust to them.
Enlargement: I can officially say i look scary with these on.I guess they make me look more awake :L they are very enlarging for me. I dread the day i decide to try 15mm ones haha
Colour: Its ok, but i would prefer the colour to show up more as it blends nearly too well with my natural eyecolour.
Other comments: I LIKE THESE! haha, I would like to say these are natural but people would definately notice if i had these on. dame my small eyes! I've read that some contact lens are a bit slow in following your eye movement. ( i've also seen pictures concerning this) but these are very good.

<-- Even follows when you do the cross eye haha
I think these need some getting use to, but apart from that. I'm all for circle lens!
Just remember to clean them after every usage to make them last that year!!








 Thank you for reading! :)

Summer Hayfever

Good Afternoon Y'all~
So the weather has been quite bipolar over the past couple of weeks but today, it has finally decided to be sunny! :D Hopefully it decides to stay sunny for. . Glastonbury Festival!! Yes, peeps. Its my first Festival ever. lol. I hope I don't get lost or fall in a ditch somewhere.
------------------------------------------
Yay for the summer! ^^ Beach! Holidays!. .Exams (- -) ..Hayfever (- -)
My Hayfever is terrifying haha, every time it hits summer I have to take hayfever tablets until around july. Which is okay, not complaining, clears up my nose. but what sucks about having hayfever is that I sneeze, all the time, at odd moments in the day ( thankfully haven't yet sneezed in an exam, i think i'm too anxious to sneeze lol) and what makes it terrifying is that i sneeze LOUDLY. like, my family can here me even when they are in the garden or something :L
Seeing as i've just entered a new college, + new classes + new friends, not many people knew of my freaky ass loud sneezes until like. . last week.
(SCENE)
*Guys sitting around table playing cards*
Sammies: Hm, I have an exam in the afternoon so won't be in psychology today guys.
Everyone else:good luck in your exam sammie!
*comes back to table after getting bottle of water
Me: Oh yeah, Good luck Sam- ACHOOO
Everyone else:. . . . .wtf. man.
(SCENE)
Yeah so it basically went something like that hahaha.
...what i'm really afraid of is if i sneeze like that again and a lil flying booger attaches to someone elses clothing. (RETRACK TO XIAXIU GETTING A BOOGER OUT OF HER NOSE WITH A BLACKHEAD REMOVER) :L She is so funny and some of the things she says, if someone else said them i would go 'SAY WHUT BITCH?' but if it was XiaXiu I would just be like, ' hahahah,oh yooou'

-----------------------<-- this is a scene break, because i am a random writer-->---------------------------

Its been quite a while since my last blog post, I intended to blog more, but blog posts take aggees. I envy all those bloggers who can blog in like 1 hour.
But even so, I enjoy nattering about my life and mini adventures and doing this improves my grammar so i guess the time it takes is worth it :)
  • So first thing to say is that I BOUGHT A BAG...from Primark. So in terms of durability its quite bad. Its already started failing actually. BUT ITS SO PRETTY.

See! So vintage like. The daisy is there for that added special touch Xp
Prettifulness: 10/10
Durability: 5/10
Things to look out for:
  • Before buying the bag look inside it for glue marks.
  • look at the shoulder trap. the strap has holes lined up it so you can adjust the length. but i've found that because the 'leather' is flimsy it will stretch and the metal with tear the leather.
  • This bag is sooo not for books.
So altogether this bag is pretty good. I would say it was just a casual shopping bag for purse/phone/drink/ your essentials really.

--------------------------Waheheheheh----------------------------------------hohoho---------------------

Ooh, so on May 6th I went to a special event called JAMforJAPAN. . . (few, I accidentally pressed the back button and thought I lost my whole entry. but blogspot had saved it for me haha. THANKYOU! )
JAMforJAPAN was a special music event held at the OrangeBox to raise money for the Japan cause.
It was really fun! We were dancing and jamming and shiz like that :L but then. . CAME THE MOSH PIT
It was crazy, suddenly all these people were pushing eachother and flailing about :L there was this one girl who was doing some kinda 60s style move with her arms and looked to be trying to hit other people : /

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

Georgia and I have been thinking about doing some swimming after class on Wednesdays. So we decided to go and do it on fine wednesday. but then. . ..we suddenly felt like going to Real China hahahha. so we thought that we should swim first then go for the chinese buffet.But then we realised that the real china shut at 3 so we would only get half n hour swimming time :L
. . . in the end, OUR STOMACHS WON! Epic fail :L no toned stomach this summer!


I take seduction to a whole new level

Thats all for today folks!

:O, YOU LIKE MAKEUP?! SAME!

Howdy there, firstly..HAPPY MOTHERS DAY. such a lovely day for it too!

MAKEUP: i just wanted to blog about some good makeup buys I own so I can look back and think ' woah, I actually owned shizz like that!?' Most of my makeup collection is from my auntie who works at SASA (luucky~), all the makeup she buys is in lovely pakaging and just so frickin cuute! I'm also going to be reviwing these becuz, thats what bloggers seem to do heha. (numbering order is random.)
READ: do not take and repost my photos.

1: Bourjois Paris Blusher.
I have this in 95 rose de jaspe.
It comes in a small compact case and has a little blusher brush inside.
I like the colour of this v.much! It gives my cheeks a nice rosy hue.
One negative thing I could say about this blusher is that (using the brush provided) I have to swipe my cheeks a lot before I see any sort of colour. it also depends on the lighting I guess, so in some ways, this product is a bit dangerous + topping up on the underground tube could give you clown cheeks!
The brush is quite tough, not at all 'soft'. but gets the job done.
Also even though the blusher comes in a small case, it could go a very long way. I've had mine for about a year now and there is only a small reduction of blush.
Oh yes, as you can see. it also has a mirror in the case. so maybe this is a top travel product? provided that u don't use it in dodgy lighting xp.



2: Maybelline VOLUM' EXPRESS
 YAAAY, yee, maybelline did a collaboration with hello kitty!
the case is super cute, with little hello kitty's around the sides~
I think we can all say that the decoration for this mascara deserves a 5/5 xp.
What i really love about this mascara is the wand!

Heh, still working out the kinks for this blog.
<-- WAND. LOOK AT THAT. perfect for my diddy little eyelashes. I would definately recommend this mascara for people with small eyelashes. it makes them long and you can easily separate the clumps ( if there is any) with this small wand xD
After i curl my eyelashes and then apply this mascara you can actually see them in my photos! LOLLOL. sucks that they hit my glasses though, leavin smudgy black lines haha.



3: Majolica Majorca compressed foundation.

<-- WOW, amazing detail on the case. Kind of reminds me of Reborn! haha, got a bit of a mafia theme to it i guess.
The powder is amaazing, <3 Japan!
It has quite a thick coverage.It doesn't quite cover up my darker acne scars but it does cover up my pores making my skin look so smoooth.
The powder is very fine and not at all cakey. If you've exfoliated all those dead skin cells beforehand, this powder will not look flakey and will just about stay on the whole day. though touch ups are needed for particularly sweaty days PAHA.

You can see i've used quite a lot of it already haha,
It comes with a nice sponge? feels spongy. .. and its easy to clean ( water + soap). also comes with a mirror! yaay!
As far as negatives go, there aren't really any there. ...thinking...thinking....nope. non. this foundation is BEAUTIFULL~






3:excellence B.B Magic Blemish Balm
Probably the best. that is all.

Kidding!~ Though seriously, this is a very good product. Its quite a light colour on the skin though, not geisha light. The coverage is good. non sticky.
Once you have it on for a few hours, my skin looks GREAAT. i'm guessing it might be mixing in with my natural oils to make this glowly complexion.
This is also cost effective!! around $49HKD from colormix.
Also lasts for agess. i wear it nearly everyday and its almost been a year. the tube is looking thin. but it still lasted a long time :)

4: Anna Sui WaterProof Mascara.
Pretty!~ This rose top is like :O
Very pretty packaging and. . .the smell ain't too bad either xP Smells a bit flowery.
Wand is thin and steady. good for smaller eyelashes and it doesn't clump as easily as other ones.
This mascara is waterproof, which is cool. haha, the mascara is fine in light rain. Even though it is from a well known brand. this mascara is not indestructable. it still smudges in heavy rainwall!
What sucks about it, like most waterproof mascaras, is that it is quite a task to get the stuff off at the end of the day.


<-- Lovely pakaging, it also excites me that i own such a product ;D, I'm not sure how much this product is because it was a gift. but since its anna sui, i'm thinking expensive! I should just savour it and hope it lasts a real long time x)








5: Shiseido Concealer.
<--  This was my mothers, but i decided oneday to try it to cover up a spot i had. . . . .and i never gave it back.
This is the ultimate cover up. it even covers my dark acne scars! This is for the odd spot and dark circles, but i used it as a whole face cover up haha.
This product is soo, good. definately worth ones money.
shame that it ran out ;( I can't afford to buy one now, but ONE DAY i shall own you once again Mr.SHI SHI CONCEALER!!



That about wraps up folks :) thankyou for reading:D Until next time!!

( I have a new found respect for bloggers, who knew it took THIS LONG to make one entry haha. )

PEACE <3 xxx
