(CLOSED) Hana 30 Day Lenses Review & Giveaway (PinkyParadise)

Caution Notes:You are best advised to consult your eye doctor before wearing any contact lens. It is your responsibilities to minimize the risk of wearing lenses. Kindly please read the wear and care guide carefully to ensure proper handling of lenses (which is provided in the website). The rule of thumb for your eye safety is, if you experience any discomfort, please remove the lens immediately.

I've been trying out these circle lenses from Pinkyparadise.com. I really like the big dolly eye effect of them and because they're brown, they look really natural. I have both the Mars Brown and Iceye Brown lenses and they look pretty much identical when I wear them. Iceye Brown is a tiny bit lighter than Mars Brown but there really isn't much difference between the two.

The Hana 30 Days lenses last for one month and they range $11.90 each.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Diameter : 14.0mm
Water Content : 45%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Life Span : 1 month disposal

PROS:
For circle lenses, the Hana Iceye and Mars Brown look really natural. Some circle lenses can look somewhat scary but these lenses really bring out your eyes without looking too fake. They do make your eyes look bigger which I like and because it isn't too obvious that I have circle lenses on. Iceye Brown is far more comfortable than Mars Brown. The Iceye Brown lenses didn't feel drying on my eyes and it felt comfortable enough for me to wear for a long period of time. Both lenses are comfortable at first but Iceye Brown lasted longer based on comfort level.

CONS:
Mars Brown on the other hand was more uncomfortable on my eyes. It was a bit drying even after just putting them on. Personally I don't think it's the lenses fault because with any lenses I wear I always seem to find some level of discomfort after putting them on. So this "con" isn't really put to blame on the lenses, more so on myself.

Sigma Beauty's Buffer F45 Brush - Review, Photos & Giveaway (CLOSED)

As some of you may know I'm a huge fan of Sigma brushes. I've been using their brushes for quite some time now and they are definitely a staple in my makeup routine. Some may say they are similar to MAC brushes but I think Sigma deserves credit all on its own for making great quality brushes and shouldn't really be compared to other brands. Sure there are similarities of other brushes that look the same but in my opinion Sigma truly stands out on its own. With that said I'm super excited to host yet another giveaway for my Facebook and Twitter fans out there for a chance to win Sigma's Buffer Brush!

When I think of buffer (or kabuki) brushes I think of mineral foundation. I think it's because I'm so used to seeing the Bare Escentuals infomercial with their "swirl, tap, and buff" slogan. However, Sigma's buffer brush is great for many uses other than for applying mineral foundation. I've used this brush for setting my foundation with loose setting powder and for touching up my face with pressed powder. This brush is definitely great for an all-over-the-face powder brush and it's great for taking with you on the go for doing touch ups. The brush itself is fairly large and fluffy with natural bristles so I see it more as a powder brush over anything else though I don't see why you can't use it for blush or bronzer!
To purchase this brush click here ($19.00 USD).

PROS:

Great for loose and pressed powders
Buffs evenly
Makes foundation and powder look natural

Bristles are soft and doesn't feel scratchy

Great size for face powders with just the right amount of density

Travel-friendly

Inexpensive

Dries fast after washing

CONS:

Bristles shed during wash and applying powder but decreased after a few uses
