Review : King Grey lenses

I got so lazy with blogging. It's really bad but so much stuff happens and then I have to do homework or go to uni so I rarely have a load of time to sit at my computer and edit a post. I got these lenses ages ago from PinkyParadise (link in the sidebar) again. They have really quick service and are generally pretty good so I recommend them to anyone. This time they sent me the elephant lense case wich made me pretty since they're my favourite animal だ象。。。lame joke forgive me >.<

I look a bit stoned in all the pics with flash, sorry. My eyes are kinda light sensitive. Now I'm gonna be honest and say these are my favourite pair of lenses I own. They have enough pigment to cover my dark eyes, they stand out without being hyper sized and suit my look more when I wanna be more ハデ(hade). I love the thick black ring too, though I know some people don't.

Overall:

• Enlargement: ★★★★☆They aren't super huge but they do make an obvious difference size-wise imo.
• Comfort: ★★★★☆
  Even though these aren't made by GEO who are famed for their comfort I think these feel just as fine as my other lenses.
• Colour/Design ★★★★★
  LOVE LOVE LOVE. They look light grey and stand out a lot sometimes but can also look dark grey in some lights which is nice too. I like the thick black outer band also.

Peace out guys! I'll try to update more regularly from now on. I do have stuff waiting, just needs editing. xx

PS: Yeah, the ends of my hair are purple. More on that later 

Review: Hurricane Brown

I wanted to get these lenses ever since I saw Emmie's review of them here. They looked really good on her but still kinda subtle and since I wanted a lens that could be worn more everyday I figured these were the ones. I got them from PinkyParadise once again and they came just as well packaged as the last order and I got more free gifts ^.^

This is the lenses with one in and one out to show the enlargement. I think maybe I have big irises 'cos they're 14mm and seemed to give Emmie more enlargement but I don't mind because I wanted them to look more natural and I have my Princess Mimi's for huge lenses!

As you can see from the pics they look pretty natural, especially in normal daylight. My mum said she really noticed them but she also didn't notice me wearing my Princess Mimi's for a whole day so I don't think she's the best source. They work well for a more toned done look and really look good on darker eyes I think.

 Overall:

• Enlargement: ★★★☆☆The rating is 'cos they don't enlarge my eyes much but that doesn't necessarily mean I don't like that look
• Comfort: ★★★★☆
  They were pretty comfortable as is to be expected of GEO lenses. After a few hours I started to feel them and took them out but they're pretty good tbh.
• Colour/Design ★★★★☆
  I really like how they look. They only lost the one star because I would have liked to see the hurricane pattern a bit more...but maybe my eyes were too dark for it to show?

Thanks for reading GRRRRAR

Chrome nails...or maybe not

For ages I've wanted to have chrome nails, a la Beyonce and other celebs. When I was shopping with my mother I saw nail foils but they were selling them at like 8 pounds. I thought that was obscene  since I knew I'd seen them cheaper on  Born Pretty Store. I ended up ordering these ones:

I was really looking forward to trying them out so I spent a morning putting them on. Here are the results...

As you can see...not the look I wanted. Yes they're nice and chrome but they don't actually lie nicely on my nails. I followed the instructions and spent awhile applying them so I don't think it's my fault...I don't think. But I think I do now why. The foils are flat....my nails are not. They curve both ways and there's just no way you could apply something flat to something 3d without it puckering. So.....I guess these are a bust.

The packaging says they last 11 days. I was sceptical about this to start with but considering the puckering most of them didn't even last an hour. Well they looked awful on my nails anyway so it's no big loss I guess. Apart from you know...the money I spent >.<

So since the full nail covering didn't work I figured I could make the foils worth my money I decided to try cutting them smaller and applying them in sections so the puckering wouldn't happen. It looked a lot better and lasted a lot longer....a whole 4 hours ¬¬ So yeah I don't recommend these at all unless you have perfectly flat nails. Also I saw them in a local BSS the next day at a lower price too so...meh

However if you're heart is set on the perfect chrome nails you could try out these, also from the Born Pretty Store

Review: Princess Mimi Sesame Grey

Not too long ago I ordered these circle lenses from Pinky Paradise. I really wanted to try the Bambi lenses that a lot of gals are really into right now and I also wanted to try out Pinky Paradise as a service. I need prescription lenses so it's nice to find somewhere that has them in stock without having to wait for them to be ordered from the manufacturers themselves.

They arrived really well packaged and there were no problems. The other packages are the lenses I also ordered for my friends.

The lenses came with a free animal lens case each. Aren't they super cute!!! And I got free gifts too; a velcro strip to keep my fringe out of the way while I put my lenses in, and two pack of little masks to help get rid of dark circles (I really need those lol) I might review the dark circle removers too. Now, on to the actual lenses.

As you can see in this picture of my disgusting make-up-less face the Princess Mimi's give great enlargement. As to be expected of 15mm I guess. I love the colour and they work pretty well on dark eyes. My mum said they were 'startling'.....I think that's a compliment?

These lenses aren't exactly what I'd call natural what with the size but the three tones stop you from looking too freaky or anything. If you're after enlargement without looking like an alien I'd recommend these and they go well with a heavy eye make. ^^

Overall:

• Enlargement: ★★★★★Super Huge for those that like that ^^
• Comfort: ★★★★☆
  I'm used to dailies which are much thinner so I can feel the weight of these more but they okay once you're used to it
• Colour/Design ★★★★☆
  The three tonal design make them look more natural and the dark ring looks good. I wonder if these work better for dark eyes than lighter eyes though.

Also, if you would like a pair of Mimi's for yourself...or 3 little forest girl is having a give away where you could win 3 pairs of lenses. Super nice of her so take part!
