Review: Geo Magic CM-904 Circle Lenses ♥sponsored♥

18. September 2013
Hello ♥
This is a review of Geo Magic CM-904, a blue colored 3 tone circle lens. I was curious how blue lenses would look on my brown eyes, so it made me really happy to get these lenses from www.geocolouredlenses.com.


The lenses arrived safely packed together with a lens case and a business card from geocolouredlenses.

The product description and specifications below are taken from their web page:

Achieve wonderful, beautiful and attractive eyes with GEO Magic three tone circle lenses to match your daily style. 
 
Specification
Power Range: 0.00 ~ -10.00
Diameter: 14.2mm
Base Curve Radius: 8.6
Water Content: 38~42%
1 year disposable*
 
*Please do not use circle lenses more than 3-4 months.  Below you can see how the lenses look on my eyes (you can enlarge the images by clicking):

Design: 

 These lenses don’t have the specific darker circle around like normal circle lenses have. This gives them a very natural look. Also, there are three colors on the lenses, giving them a nice blending effect. They are not as opaque as some other lenses which makes them look a bit dark on natural dark eyes, but with flash light or in natural light you see the difference. For me personally I wished they were a tiny bit more opaque. Nevertheless, I love how natural they turn out.

Comfort:

  Geo Magic Circle lenses are really comfortable. You don’t feel them and I could wear them for 6 hours, even more with eye drops. I wear normally toric lenses on daily basis, which are more comfortable for my personal eyes, but considering that these are not made for people with astigmatism, they are or the comfy side definitely.

Enlargement:
With a diameter of 14.2 these lenses are on the natural side. They don’t enlarge your eyes. I like natural lenses, so for me they are perfect, but if you want a dolly effect you should buy other lenses.
Shipping:
 Shipping was provided with tracking number and arrived after 10 business days which is good for standard shipping. Since shipping is free, you cannot complain about the delivery time. The lens vials were securely packed withing bubble wrap.

 

You can buy these lenses at www.geocolouredlenses.com for US$ 15.65. they do offer FREE international shipping and all their lenses are genuine. Most of their circle lens models are available with corrective power. Geo lenses are a reliable Korean circle lens brand and the only USA FDA approved circle lens brand. You can find information about geocolouredlenses here:
All in all I am really happy with these lenses. Especially that I don’t feel them in my eyes. This is definitely a great plus!

Review: Solone Charming Eyelashes ♥sponsored♥

15. September 2013
Hello :)
This will be a short review on Solone Charming Eyelashes sponsored to me by Beauty Chamber. I presented a product by Solone to you before and described briefly this Taiwanese brand in my blogpost >>here<<.

As you can see these lenses are provided in a plastic packaging, together with a little tube ob eyelash glue.
These lashes are very thick and feathery and really look beautiful. The Lash band is very thick and the material is sturdy. Thus the lashes won’t get broken easily and you can reuse them often. The description on the package is in Taiwanese, but provided with some self explaining images. The provided glue does it job and sticks the lashes properly. I could wear the lashes for more then 6 hours and they didn’t fall off or even loosen themselves the tiniest bit. :)
You can see that these lashes create a very dramatic effect and since they are so thick they feel a bit heavier than naturally designed eyelashes. The feeling was a bit unusual for me, since I rarely wear fake lashes. Nevertheless they are really beautiful in my opinion, but not suitable for daily use.
You can get Solone Alice in Wonderland Collection from Beauty Chamber. It doesn’t list all the products which are available, so if you are looking for something special like this, write an Email to Amber, the shop owner, and she’ll give you a quote. She has a blog at http://chamber2u.blogspot.tw/. Check out the facebook page, too: https://www.facebook.com/beautychamber2013
http://beautychamber.bigcartel.com/
All in all I can say, that the design and the sturdiness is great. But, since they are a bit heavy I only gave 4/5 points.

Review: Rohto Lycee Eyedrops for Contact Lenses

12. September 2013
Hello ♥
This review was a long time in my draft and I forgot to publish it :D I bought Rohto Lycee Eyedrops with the Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green Circle lenses at Pinky Paradise reviewed >>here<<. I fell in love with the packaging and I was looking for a small eyedrop product for putting into my purse and this it is.

Here is the product description by Pinky Paradise: 

Rohto Lycee Contact Eyedrops (for contact lenses) – Light Pink
Ideal for those having dry eyes while wearing contact lenses. 
Main function:
To re-hydrate the eyes and solve the problem of eye dryness. 
Additional Benefits:
Reduce redness & refreshing your eyes
How to Use:
Put 1 or 2 drops in the affected eyes up to 5-6 times daily.
Discontinue using if pain, itching, or sensitivity occurs.
MADE IN JAPAN 

The packaging contains the instructions and the little eyedrop container. The instructions is written in Japanese, but there are some images, so you get how it works. Apart from this there is not much you can do wrong about eyedrops. ;)
Edit: I was asked for the ingredients of these eyedrops. Since the package is in Japanese I couldn’t read it, but I saw that Pretty&Cute had listed the ingredients here: 

Tetrahydrozoline Hydrochloride 0.04%
Zinc Sulfate 0.1%
Chlorpheniramine Maleate 0.01%
Vitamin B12 0.006%
Vitamin B6 0.05%
Potassium L-Aspartate 1.0%
 

 

 

The pink package keeps its promise of being cute and girly. The eyedrop container has a rectangular shape and is made of plastic. The cap can be closed tightly with a little pressure and is released by twitching it. The pink cap has tiny sparkling particles within, too. The bottle of the container is transparent and the eyedrop solution has a pale pink color, too, which is caused by the vitamin B12. The bottle contains 8 ml eyedrop solution.

 

The is designed in a way that you can easily put the eyedrops in your eyes from all angles you use, which I think is really useful.

How is the effect on the eyes now?! The main function of eyedrops is to provide moisture, because contact lenses can be pretty drying for your eyes. Rohto’s Lycee Eyedrops do moisturize pretty well. Also, these eyedrops are designed to cool your eyes and refresh them. I read on other blogs about these eyedrops that they were burning a bit. I didn’t experience burning. I did experience burning in my eyes while cleansing my face and getting accidentally cleanser into my eyes, but these eyedrops were not burning, they were cooling. This is comparable to toothpaste: you brush your teeth and the toothpaste gives you a cooling and refreshing taste in your mouth. My eyes felt much better after I used it, especially after a long working day in front of the computer screen..Rohto’s Lycee Eyedrops is really a great product and it full-filled all the claims I had for it. :)
Nevertheless, I have to warn, that this is not a huge product. It only contains 8 ml and is thus quite expensive. At Pinky Paradise it was sold for US$ 12.99. At the moment it is out of stock, but there are other eyedrops available from Rohto. On ebay you can find them for around 10 US$. Because of the price I’ll give them only a rating of 4/5 instead of 5/5.
If you want to place an order for contact lenses at www.pinkyparadise.com feel free to use my coupon code berriesinthesnow1. you get a FREE cute animal lens case PLUS mystery gift
2. the coupon code can be stacked, If you purchase 3 pairs, you will get 3 lens case plus 3 mystery gifts.
3. A minimum of 1 pair of circle lens purchased to activate the code.
4. The code has no expired dates :)
From time to time they have changing promotions going on, at the moment it is a Halloween promotion with free shipping worlswide. So it’s worth to have a look at their page. :)

Review: Etude House Hot Style Hair Tools Bangs Cut Kit

8. September 2013
Hey ♥
How is your weekend? Did you already join my new giveaway? It has gotten cold and rainy in Germany again, I guess this is officially the end of summer :( On the other hand, this means I’ve more time to spent at home trying different things, which brings me to my latest review:
I love wearing bangs! But, there is always one point driving me insane: You go to the hairdresser, get your new haircut and some bangs and after two weeks your hair has grown again and you’ll need to cut the bangs again. I’m honest, I’m really too lazy to go to the hairdresser often. More than once I took my scissors and just cut the bands shorter by myself. This sounds so easy, but it’s really hard to make it look alright and especially straight >_< So when I saw Etude House Hot Style Hair Tools Bangs Cut Kit I had simply to order and to try it.
The packaging is typical for Etude House, in pink colors and very girly. ♥ Here is the product description by Etude House: 
This kit containing a hair clip and a pair of scissors to easily accomplish salon-quality trimmed bangs at home. 
[Direction] 
1. Place the clip near roots of hair where you wish to trim, and keep it horizontally leveled with the equipped checker.
2. Slide the clip down along bangs, leaving desired cutting length. 
3. Cut carefully with a pair of scissors.
[Cautions]
1. Use only as directed.

2. Keep out of reach of children. 

The description is written in Korean and English on the backside of the packaging, containing also some images, how to do the steps.
This set contains two objects: the hair clipper and a pair of scissors. Below you see the pictures of the hair clipper with the integrated water level. This helps you to adjust the clipper horizontally to your hair. I love this part, because it really helps a lot to get straight bangs. The color of the clipper is of course pink ;) The material of the clipper is plastic. It is a sturdy material and it won’t get easily damaged. Only the lock makes me a bit worried while closing and reopening because I fear I might break it (which didn’t happen so far XD).
The scissors have a pink hold and one side of the scissor is normal straight cutting, the other side cuts fringes. In this way you are able to cut your bangs in a natural looking way. I love that they didn’t put a normal scissors, but this kind of scissors instead.
I tried this kit some times now and it really works to keep your bangs tidy and straight. It is easy to use and definitively easier than cutting the bangs ‘blindly’ by yourself. Nevertheless I have to remark that the scissors are not the highest quality scissors. You need to cut several times the same part to really cut all the hair away. But on the other hand it makes your hair get a natural fringe-y look. Considering the prize for this set I’d say the quality is adequate and you can’t expect to get saloon-like scissors. I’m happy with this kit so far and it makes my life easier :)
I bought my kit from testerkorea for 8000 Won (shipping depends on the weight).

Review: EOS Neon Brown Circle Lenses ♥sponsored♥

7. September 2013

Hello ♥

I’m reviewing a new pair of circle lenses today which were kindly sent to me by MapleLens. I received EOS Neon Brown , a colored contact lens in a light brown shade. These are very nice lenses which look also great on dark brown eyes in my opinion. Let’s have a look!

The lenses were packed in a cute pink box and an animal lens case in elephant shade was included, too. Both, the box and the animal lens case are really lovely.
I ordered prescription lenses again with -0.50 for both eyes. The lenses are delivered in a typical vial labelled with all the information you need.
Here are the properties of EOS Neon Brown circle lenses:
Diameter : 14.8mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.8mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal
These lenses look very simple on the first sight: they have a light brown, dotted pattern and a darker border around. You can click on all the image to see more details. Below, I will show you how EOS Neon Brown lenses look on my eyes:
The enlargement effect is clearly visible, comparing the ‘naked’ eyes with the one wearing a contact lens. also the color shows off nicely.
All in all I like how these lenses look if you wear them. ♥
Design: 
The design of these contact lenses is pretty nice. They look very unspecial, but because they’re quite opaque they look good on dark brown eyes. I feared that I wouldn’t see any different while wearing them, except of the enlargement, but the color really brightens my natural eye color and blends in nicely, too. I think these lenses create a very natural color effect.
Comfort:

 These lenses were not as comfortable as my daily lenses, but I have to say, that I wear normally toric lenses. The first two hours the lenses weren’t comfy for me, actually, but after a bit more time I got used to them and I could wear them like around 5 hours in total. If you don’t need toric lenses you can probably wear them even longer, using eye drops occasionally.

Enlargement:
Enlargement is visible, but it doesn’t look scary or too unnatural. The darker circle around the lens creates a dolly effect.
Shipping:
 Shipping was performed via FedEx and was pretty fast. It only took 3 days for the lenses to arrive and a tracking number made it easy to check where my parcel was located. If you only buy one lens you’ll have to keep in mind the shipping costs that you’ll have to pay. But MapleLens also provide free shipping for orders over 50 US$.
All in all, I really like these lenses. They look really nice and brighten up my natural eye color. Depending on the light the color is more of a light green-brown-ish shade which I really love. If I would only have seen the image of the contact lens I would probably not have bought it. This makes me even happier that I received these lenses. Thanks to MapleLens at this point!
You can buy these lenses at MapleLens for US$ 18.90. Check out the facebook page, too: https://www.facebook.com/MapleLens

Pinky Paradise Haul and Review: Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green Bambi Series

13. June 2013
Hello ♥
I’m really excited about this post, because this is my first review on circle lenses. I was really struggling with my first circle lens order for a while. I couldn’t decide first where to buy, then I had a problem with finding lenses with the perfect prescription. Lenses are sold either without prescription or in steps of -0.25 starting from -0.50. Since one of my eyes needs -0.25 and the other -0.50, I decided after quite a bit of research to take take one with -0.00 prescription and the other with the correct -0.50. I was also worried because I have astigmatism, that I would not be able to wear them for any long time. The next point is the huge variety of circle lenses available online…it was really difficult to decide….°o°
Finally I made my mind and chose Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green (Bambi series). I purchased at www.pinkyparadise.com. When I made my purchase they were having a promotion to spend US$ 39 and get a Skin79 BB cream miniature for free. I decided to buy additionally Rohto Lycee Contact Eyedrops for contact lenses to be able to take part in their promotion. I heard good things about these eye drops and since I’m wearing contact lenses every day, I thought I’d give it a try (review soon).
So here is what I got: 
As you can see they provided me with a cute animal lens case and an additional gift. I got a hair sheet for holding your bangs out of your face, which is very useful and I tried it already :D. In case you consider to buy anything from pinkyparadise you can just enter my promotional code berriesinthesnow and you’ll get a free cute animal lens case PLUS a mystery gift, too.
Back to my Geo Princess Mimi lenses ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿
The circle lens pattern is designed by Tsubasa Masuwaka, one of the most influential and popular Japanese teen models. She is also modelling in the advertise of those lenses. She looks really beautiful, doesn’t she *_*
Here are the properties for the lenses:
Diameter: 15.0mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.7mm
Type: 1 year disposal
I like the printing on the viles a lot. It is very girly and fits perfectly to the advertising with
Tsubasa Masuwaka.
The pattern is really nice with green and brown little color dots. And the typical black circle around the lens.
The free lens case I got has the shape of a pigs head and is really funny. The case itself is also quite good. If you close it tightly nothing spills, even if you throw it into your handbag :D

Now I will show you how the lenses look while I’m wearing them. I have brown eyes naturally by the way:

Design: 
I like the design! The colors blend in nicely with my natural brown eye color. I like how they try to blend the green color by using little brown dots towards the inner of  the lens.
Comfort:
 Although I should wear toric lenses, I could wear this lenses for quite a while. After 3 hours I applied some eye drops and then it was no problem to wear them for another 4 hours. The diameter of the lenses was no problem at all, but I’m used to use contacts every day anyways.
Enlargement:
Enlargement is really huge! The thick black circle ring makes your eyes really big and dolly. If you apply some eye make-up it looks nice and not too much like an alien :D
Shipping:
 Shipping was a little problem, but this was not the fault of pinkyparadise. The package got stuck somewhere in Germany, then it was at the customs for quite a while, but after a long period of time and waiting and loosing hope it arrived here and I didn’t have to pay any taxes for it….lucky :D Since it was the fault of the German postal service I’ll give 5 berries nevertheless, because their processing of the order was quite fast, also their customer service was great and answered very fast to every request.
Overall, these are really nice lenses. I don’t regret buying them and I’m already browsing for other lenses which I would like to try. :D My final rating for these lenses are:
As I said, you can buy these lenses at www.pinkyparadise.com. If you use my coupon code berriesinthesnow
1. you get a FREE cute animal lens case PLUS mystery gift
2. the coupon code can be stacked, If you purchase 3 pairs, you will get 3 lens case plus 3 mystery gifts.
3. A minimum of 1 pair of circle lens purchased to activate the code.
4. The code has no expired dates :)

From time to time they have changing promotions going on, so it’s worth to have a look at their page. :)

I’ll leave you this time with a selfie ;) See you for the next review!♥
