Sunset On Thanksgiving

Haha okay so let me explain the title. I tried to recreate my Thanksgiving look (I know I am long overdue) so this is the look that I came up with. It isn't even the same look but I thought it was a little Thanksgiving-esque. Nonetheless I hope you all like it. I also recorded a really random video with my iPhone which is surprising because I don't do videos anymore! Hahah. But yeah I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Holidays!! :)

DollyEye Violet Circle Lenses Review + Photos

Here's a review for the DollyEye Violet Circle Lenses courtesy of Pinkyparadise.com. I have to first begin by mentioning that these circle lenses are not your typical natural looking lenses. If the word "violet" didn't throw you off already, these pictures will show you exactly what I mean. Even though they are pretty unnatural, I do love that about them. When it comes to colored lenses I do prefer something more obvious and these do just that! I probably wouldn't wear these as much as the EOS Candy Brown circle lenses but they're definitely fun to have! Like I mentioned in my other review, it is recommended that you do not wear contact lenses for no more than 8 hours out of your day.




AVAILABLE AT: Pinkyparadise.com
ITEM DETAILS
Weight: 0 kg, 100 grams
Brand : DollyEye
Diameter : 14.2mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6mm

I give these circle lenses about a 8/10 based on comfort level. These particular lenses took a little bit of adjusting when I finally got them on. They irritated my eyes just a tad bit but nothing too extreme. They got more and more comfortable in just a matter of minutes. These lenses also dried my eyes out a lot quicker so I highly recommend keeping really good eye lubricants around because you'll definitely need them within a few hours, if not right away! I also noticed my vision was kind of blurry in the beginning but it eventually cleared up.

These lenses are far more obvious especially in flash photography and in natural sunlight. In low light, they are still fairly noticeable but not as much. These lenses are pretty large but not as compared to EOS Candy Brown circle lenses which are a 14.5mm in diameter. Because they're not as large, they don't really give me the dolly eye look but I still enjoy the look of them.

These run for about $25.90. They may be a bit pricey but keep in mind that some basic purple/violet lenses do not come off as opaque as these do. If you have dark colored eyes, these lenses will have no problem showing up. However, with dark eyes, they do appear a bluish purple (which is the definition of violet) but in the lens case alone they look more purple. Nonetheless, you won't confuse the color of these lenses once you have them on because they're extremely vibrant! Definitely worth trying!

Candy Brown EOS Circle Lenses Review + Photos

I have never tried circle lenses (courtesy of Pinky Paradise) before so I jumped on the opportunity of doing a product review for my blog readers. After testing out these contacts for a couple of days now, I have to say that I love them! They're extremely comfortable (compard to Freshlook Lenses) and they really do give you the doll-eyed look without it looking too scary! In this review I'll be doing the Candy Brown EOS Circle Lenses. Next up will be DollyEye Violet Lens!



Super cute cases! I love them!





 
P.S. I dyed my hair black! No more red hair. :(



AVAILABLE AT: Pinkyparadise.com 
ITEM DETAILS
Weight: 0 kg, 100 grams
Brand : E.O.S
Diameter : 14.5mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Life Span : 1 year disposal

I would give these lenses a 9/10 on comfort. Considering the diameter of these lenses, they're extremely HUGE yet surprisingly comfortable. They're also not that obvious especially in low light. I wore these out to my friend's birthday dinner and to a family party and nobody really noticed that I had contacts on (unless they just never mentioned it). But it does give you natural dolly eyes. At first I thought it would look a little bit strange on me because my eyes are already big, but I really like how they came out once I had them on. These are definitely a must-have for those who want to bring out their natural brown eyes or any eye color for that matter! But it definitely gives brown eyes that extra cuteness!

With any lenses it is recommended that you do not wear them any longer than 8 hours so just keep that in mind if you've never worn contact lenses before. For these particular lenses, they cost $22.90 with extremely fast shipping. I received my package within a week. Pinkyparadise.com is also a great website because they offer so many different types of circle lenses from all sorts of brands. So the possibilities are endless and I guarantee that there is a pair for someone out there!

2 in 1

Hi everyone! Here I did 2 EOTD's over the past week. Sorry I haven't been posting any full face shots. I'm usually in a rush to leave the house so I end up forgetting to take them. This past weekend was mine and BF's 34 months anniversary and we decided to eat at Phil's BBQ (we didn't realize it was our 'monithiversary' until later on that night). Food looks delicious doesn't it? If you haven't eaten at Phil's BBQ let me just warn you that you're gonna expect to be in line for at least 40 minutes. The BF and I were in line for over an hour! But the food looks worth it doesn't it? :) Anyway, hope you all like the looks I did. Thanks for reading!

Fall Inspired Look

Fall is definitely my favorite season! I love warm colors which is what inspired this look. I know it's been quite a while since I've done any looks lately. I've been doing so well this month though, don't you think? But anywho, I'm nearing the end of one of my classes in school so the fact that it's the last week is really hectic on my schedule. I have exams to do and projects to complete and they're all toppled on top of each other. It's just nonstop work! But I did have the chance to do this look for school and I managed to sneak in a few pictures of it before I headed out. So enjoy!

I also created a new Formspring so if any of my readers have questions about anything, feel free to ask me! --> click here

LOOK: Royal Blues and Purples




Again, the photos above are taken with my iPhone 4. I need to keep away from depending on it to take pictures of my makeup because I did buy a new camera for a reason. So I'll try not to do it as often even though I can't help it because it makes my makeup amazingly vibrant! I freakin love how it shows up on my iPhone. But anyway, I did this look using a little bit of some Sugarpill and Glamour Doll Eyes eyeshadows. I seriously cannot get enough of both makeup brands.

I'm in loooove with Glamour Doll Eyes Tattooed eyeshadow. I swear it's a gorgeous purple color with blue undertone. That is why in the pictures you can't really differentiate the color between blue or purple because it's more like both! It's an amazing color! Definitely a must-have! But anywho, I hope you all like this look. Thanks for looking. :)
