Review: Dueba Crystal.i Grey Circle Lenses

9. May 2014

It’s been a long time since my last circle lens review, but today I’ll show you another pair of lenses, Dueba Crystal.i Grey, which were send to be by Lensvillage. If you’d like to read about my opinion on these lenses please feel free to continue reading :D Also, I finally managed to sign up for a proper Email subscription list. I’d be happy if you’d join it :) You can find the link on the right side of my blog.

The lenses came in a cute vial with a comic drawing on it. I received a cute animal lens case together with these lenses. This time I received a grey hippo lens case, which I don’t had until know ^_^ Yeiii!

These lenses are also available in other colors like blue, green, brown, pink and violet. Here are the properties for the lenses:

 

Diameter : 14.2 mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal



Design: 
The design is very simply and only consists of black and grey dots. It is nothing special, but looks nice with dark eyes, although I’d wish that it blended in more towards the inner part.

Comfort:
These lenses were a bit uncomfortable, because after one hour I discovered that my eyes feel dried. But when using eye drops you can extend the wearing time.

Enlargement:
Enlargement is clearly visible, but it doesn’t look unnatural. All in all this is in my eyes the perfect size for my eyes, making them pop out but not looking like an alien on the same time.

Shipping:
I received my lenses with standard shipping and it arrived after 3-4 weeks. This is not the fastest shipping I experienced with standard shipping, but neither the slowest. The lenses were packed securely in bubble wrap plastic and they came with a cute animal shape lens case.


Despite that these lenses were a bit uncomfortable I could wear them on my work. The design is simple, but it shows a nice enlargement of the eyes. I personally prefer more comfy lenses, but these are not that bad as you can see from my total rating below. 

You can buy these lenses at Lensvillage for US$ 19.50. Check out the facebook page, too: https://www.facebook.com/lensvillage

asian fashion contact lenses PR Sample The Dolly Eye

Review: The Dolly Eye Circle S-9 Series ♥sponsored♥

16. January 2014
I received a pair of contact lenses during the holidays from The Dolly Eye, an online store selling circle lenses, hair pieces, cosmetics and accesoires. The lenses name is “The Dolly Eye S-9 Series” and the color I received is grey.

The vials have a cute and girly design and are a bit smaller than the vials you normally get. The lenses came together with a simple lenscase, too.
The properties of the lenses is written on the web page of The Dolly Eye:
Two sterile daily wear soft contact lenses 45% methafilconA, 38% water, immersed in 0.9%buffered saline.
Lens technical details:
  • Diameter: 15.0mm
  • Water Content: 38%
  • Base Curve: 8.6mm
  • 3 months contact lenses
The design of the lenses looks really beautiful. It has some playful ornamental swirls in it. The border of the lenses is not straight but has a frayed design. I like the pattern, it is something special, compared to the standard, zwo colored lenses.
Let’s see how they look if you wear these lenses:
Design: 
As I said above, I like the design of the lenses, because they are not as boring as the standard design for two colored lenses for example. Nevertheless these lenses look very artificial in flash photography. In natural light they look much better. Unfortunatelly, I think my eyecolor is too light for these, because they don’t blend in perfectly.
Comfort:
 
 You can wear them a couple of hours, but they are not super comfy, probably because of the diameter.
Enlargement:
Enlargement is really huge since these lenses have a diameter of 15 mm! I have to say, that due to the design and the large diameter they do not blend in perfectly with my natural eye color. I think they will look much better on someone with darker brown or black eyes.
Shipping:
The package arrived quickly, but there was just a thick layer of paper around the vials for protection. I think bubble wrap would have been safer, although nothing happened anyway.

Did anyone try these lenses before? You can get them >>here<<  for US$27.99. Thanks again for The Dolly Eye for sending me these lenses. Please have a look at their store:

Review: My new glasses from Firmoo ♥sponsored♥

6. January 2014
Happy new year everybody! Long time no see, but finally I’m back and I have a lot of new reviews on my list. I was so busy during the holidays, that I had barely no time for doing anything for my blog. I’ll start off this years first review with a pair of glasses which were kindly sent to me by www.firmoo.com. I was very happy when they asked me to review their glasses and even more happy that I could get the glasses in my prescription.^_^

Probably some of you have already heard about www.firmoo.com, a popular online eyeglasses shop. They offer varieties of prescription glasses for affordable prices. they offer a huge variety of Men’s and Women’s Glasses and of sunglasses as well. I was pretty amazed at the selection and I had a hard time to decide which ones to choose. Finally I selected a pair of unisex full frame acetate glasses in tortoise (black with brownish freckles). These glasses are the kind of fashionable nerd glasses you see quite often in the web. My other pair of glasses a bit smaller than these, but I really wanted to try larger and more nerdy glasses XD. Here is the link to my glasses:

The glasses came pretty fast and they were provided with a bunch of accessories: a free hard protective spectacle case, an eyeglass bag and a piece of micro-fibre lens cloth. They also enclosed a repair kit including screws, screwdrivers and replacement nose pads, which I didn’t expect at all and it made me very happy. Since I’m wearing glasses since my childhood I experienced it quite often that the screws get loosen by the time. This kit is more then helpful in my opinion.

What really helped me to select the proper pair of glasses is the virtual try-on system that they provide on their page. You can either upload a picture of you or use the example pictures, to see how the glasses look on you. I used one of the example pictures which had the same PD (pupillary distance) value  and it turned out perfectly and was just as I imagined it to be.

One thing I have to mention at this point: It is important to know your exact values for your glasses, even if you don’t need prescription I can recommend you to get your pupillary distance (PD) measured by an optician. This is important to get glasses which fit you.

I have to say, that I really liked their service. I had some difficulties ordering by myself, but they helped me very quickly and did the order for me. Another thing which is really great for anybody who never bought glasses online before is the “Free Glasses” event they provide (http://www.firmoo.com/free-glasses.html). Every day they provide a limited amount of coupons for a pair of free glasses. All free frames come complete with 1.50 single vision lenses, complimentary cases, cleaning cloth and other accessories. You just need to pay shipping. It’s a great way to test, if the way of ordering glasses online convinces you, or not.
 
I can recommend Firmoo to everybody who wants to buy glasses online. Check out their page at:
If you have a blog and you are interested in cooperation with them follow the link below:
http://www.firmoo.com/z/firmoo-business-cooperation.html Also, if you use the codemisslavenblogs4 you have the chance to geta $30 

voucher. It can be used 5 times on the frames for the Classic series Eyeglasses and is valid for one month.

asian fashion contact lenses MapleLens PR Sample

Review: Geo Princess Mimi Sesame Grey Bambi Series ♥sponsored♥

24. December 2013
♥ Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you have some nice holidays ♥

My first pair of circle lenses were Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green (review >>here<<) and since then I was always very curious about the Geo Princess Mimi Sesame Grey (Bambi Series) lenses of this series and I’m happy that MapleLens send these lenses to me. 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 and she looks gorgeous with all of the lenses. 


As before, when I got lenses from MapleLens they arrived pretty fast via EMS. They were packed safely and came in a cute present box together with an animal lens case in shape of an elephant *_*

 

Here are the properties for the lenses:
Diameter : 15.0mm
Water Content : 42%
Base Curve : 8.7mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal
Design: 
I like the design! The colors blend in nicely with my natural brown eye color. there are brown dots towards the center of the lenses which design a nice blending effect. I was happy with the design of the green ones, too, and these are the same.
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 But if you want to use them without any make up they can easily look strange.
Shipping:
  Super fast shipping thanks to EMS.♥
Below you can see how these lenses look on my eyes.
All in all these lenses are perfect if you want to create a dolly effect. Because of the black outward circle they do not look natural, but really like doll’s eyes. If you are looking for a huge enlargement I can recommend you to go for these. If you like natural lenses more, then I don’t think these are a good choice. I really like the color and the effect, but I don’t wear these lenses every day.
You can buy these lenses at MapleLens for US$ 20.90. Check out the facebook page, too: https://www.facebook.com/MapleLens

Holiday Season Outfits with Choies

12. December 2013
December is the month were I have a lot of occasions to wear festive clothes. It starts with all those Christmas parties and it ends with New Year’s Eve at the end of the year. I love going shopping at this time of the year because you never can have enough variety for all these occasions *^_^*
Today, I was browsing through Choies, an online shop for clothing, shoes, jewelry and accessories with free internationall regular shipping. While browsing I found some nice combination items which I wanted to share with you and ask your opinion about these outfits.
http://www.choies.com/

The first outfit is the cuter version of a christmas outfit I would wear. Let’s have a look:
  1. bow skater dress with contrast collar
  2. black roll brim felt boater with cat ear 
  3. celebona mask pendant necklace
  4. I love black and white popcorn bucket bag
I think red is the perfect color for Christmas and I love the cuteness of this dress which is stressed by the color and the bows. Also, since it has long sleeves it seems not to be to freezing cold for those living in countries having winter season at the moment. :D I have to admit that I fell in love with those cat-ear hats. They are so lovely, and also a black hat gives a nice contrast to the red dress. I’m a big fan of cute necklaces and bags. The long necklace with the venecian mask charm looks probably good with the dress. The popcorn bucket shaped bag was one of my highlights I discovered on Choies. I never saw a bag like this! It’s awesome *_*
The second combination would be for a New Year’s Eve party.
  1. black bodycon dress with leather cut out
  2. transparent acrylic hard box bag
  3. retro exaggerated rivets necklace
  4. patent platform court shoes
You never go wrong with black dresses. they are so versatile, because you can use any other accesoires on them and suddely you create a new look. I combined this black dress with a spiky nacklace. I have a similar necklace, and I love wearing it together with a black dress. Black high heels are also very festive and fit all time. You can never go wrong with such shoes either. Last but not least, again a bag which I totally love, the see-through handbag. I love the idea of this bag and I’ve seen it several times already.
So, what do you think? Which outfit do you like more? and which items are your favourite items out of my selection?
Who does already know Choies, btw? what were your experiences? I saw, that they have an intersting option to apply for  some selected items. You can try your luck and get an item for free in their “free-trial-center“, which sounds interesting I guess.

asian cosmetics asian fashion beauty NOTD review

Review: Etude House Minnie In The Nails nailpolish and glitter

21. November 2013
Apart from the Minnie Kissing Lips from Etude House I reviewed earlier (click), I bought a fitting nail polish of the XOXO Minnie collection in red and Minnie nail glitters in black and white.

The nail polish comes in a bottle with a white cap with mickey mouse#s head silhouette. The color is the same red as the Minnie Kissing Lips lipstick in Minnie Red has. So it fits perfectly to be worn together. The brush is on the broader side. The nail polish itself is on the more liquid side, so you have to be careful. If you get to much of it on the brush and thus on your nails it moves on your nail and creates not desirable gradient effects. With two layers you’ll achieve a nice and opaque color. One layer alone dries rather quickly, too. The bottle contains 8 g.
This is how it looks on my nails with two layers.
I bought the nail glitter, too. The handling is a bit tricky if you don’t have experience (like me XD). I tried to put them on the nail polish before it was dried. The glitter boxes contain dot-shaped glitter, Minnie Mouse’s head as silhouette and tiny bow shaped glitter.
As you can see, the glitter particles make the surface of your nails uneven. ‘d recommend you to use a top coat. I didn’t use any, and by the end of the day I lost all the glitter due to running my fingers through my hair, unzipping and zipping clothes, getting dresses etc. pp. I don’t know if the top coat prevents it, but at least it should help a bit. did anybody try these glitters already and knows how to seal them in a better way? Feel free to write a comment :D
I bought these products at www.testerkorea.com for 3000 Won/ ~US$3 for the nail polish and 2500 Won/ ~US$2.50 for the nail glitter (shipping depends on weight). The nail polish is out of stock, but the glitters are still available. You can get Etude House Minnie Collection also at:
BeautyNetKorea (free shipping option)
W2Beauty (free shipping option, you’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$)
KollectionK (shipping depends on destination)
Also you can have a look on ebay. The prices vary from shop to shop.

Review: Neo Vision Dali Extra Size Blue Circle Lenses ♥sponsored♥

19. November 2013
Today’s review is about Neo Vision Dali Extra Size Blue Circle Lenses sponsored by KlensPop. Thanks to them in first place ♥ KlensPop is a online store for Korean Circle Lenses. They provide lenses in different diameters, color and also with prescription. I’ll get right to the lenses I received:

First of all, what a cute lens case they included! *_* I love it so much, the picture on it is so cute with the whale on it. I love that they didn’t just add the typically boring lens cases, but instead this one, which even comes with a tiny plastic tweezers. 

The lens vials were packed inside this package and were surrounded by bubble wrap for a save delivery.

 

Here is the description for the lenses, taken from KlensPop’s web page:
Specification
Power Range: 0.00~-7.50
Diameter: 14.0 mm 
Graphic Diameter: 13.60 mm
Base Curve Radius: 8.6
Water Content: 38%
1 year disposable
 
* It is advisable to dispose it within 4 months for regular use or if it starts to cause dryness.
* Please handle with clean hands and soak it with solutions after every usage

 

Design: 

 These lenses have a bright blue color and a very clean and simple design. The outer border is darker for giving the appearance of dolly eyes. The lenses have a nice blue color with flash photography, but even without flash they give you a dark blue hue.


Comfort

I had the feeling they were not as comfortable as Geo lenses, but they were really okay concerning the comfort. I could wear them all day long and used once eye drops only.


Enlargement:

Perfect size of enlargement in my eyes. They make your eyes pop without being scary.

Shipping:
 Shipping was free. The lens vials were securely packed withing bubble wrap and a cute lens case was provided. I’m absolutely happy. ♥
 You can buy these lenses at http://klenspop.com for US$ 19.00. They do offer FREE shipping and all their lenses are genuine. You can find information about KlensPop here: 

web store link: http://klenspop.com
and

 

 
 
I think these lenses give the eyes a nice hue of blue and have a nice color, too :) They’re comfortable and on plus they give a nice dolly effect. I like them actually more then the Neo Vision Two Tone Blue Circle lenses I reviewed previously (>>here<<). On top I got a super cute lens case ♥  Thanks to KlensPop for sending me these lenses!:D

Review: Neo Vision 2 Tone Blue Circle Lenses ♥sponsored♥

6. November 2013
This is a review of Neo Vision 2-Tone Blue Circle Lenses kindly sponsored by www.kpop2.com. I think it is difficult for dark eyed people to find blue circle lenses which look natural nevertheless. I was really curious how these really affordable lenses would do on my eyes. So let’s see what I think about them :)

The product description and specifications below are taken from their web page:
Specification
Power Range: 0.00~-10.00
Diameter: 13.5mm (total 14.0mm)
Base Curve Radius: 8.4
Water Content: 38 %
Duration of use: 6 month or more*
 
* It is advisable to dispose it within 4 months for regular use or if it starts to cause dryness.
* Please handle with clean hands and soak it with solutions after every usage. 
These are similar in diameter as the Geo Magic CM-904 I reviewed before (>>here<<). In contrast to the Geo lenses, these lenses are composed of two different blue colors. A nice design all in all.
Design: 

The design of these lenses is pretty nice. It is composed of two blue colors and it gets darker towards the outside. Nevertheless it is not very special or overwhelmingly beautiful. The blue shows off nicely with flash and really pops, but on the other hand is rather unnatural. In normal light the blue is barely visible on my dark eyes. It’s more a blue hue.

Comfort

  Compared to the Geo lenses I tried the last times, these are less comfortable. Nevertheless it was very easy to put them in and I even didn’t feel them at first. Afterwards my eyes became dry, but eyedrops make it okay.


Enlargement:

These lenses don’t give much of enlargement. The eyes appear a bit more open, because of the darker color towards the outside of the lens, but these lenses are on the normal and natural side considering the diameter.

 

You can buy these lenses at www.kpop2.com for US$ 10.99. They do offer FREE international shipping and offer you to pick a free insurance for the delivery. I think their prices are really affordable and they have quite a range of different lenses that it is worth to take a look at their web store if you don’t know it and are a circle lens lover. Overall, these lenses were nice. The design didn’t take me off, but the price keeps it in balance, so it’s worth trying.

  Thanks again to www.kpop2.com for sending me these lenses.

asian cosmetics asian fashion beauty Born Pretty Store review

Review: Taiwan False Handmade Eyelashes from BornPrettyStore

15. October 2013
Here is a review for a box of different style eyelashes I got from www.bornprettystore.com. These false eyelashes are handmade and from Taiwan.

They come in a simple white box with the shape of a heart cut out on the front. I like the cute box, although it is very simple. The box contains 10 different false eyelashes. The material used is high quality fiber and the lash bands are very thin. This way the lashes appear very natural.
BornPrettyStore also included a little gift with the package, a pen in shape of a lipstick. The idea is really funny and nice :D Thanks again to BornPretty ♥

The lashes have a soft feel and give a very natural appearance, since the band is very thin and transparent. The disadvantage of the thin band is, that you have to be more careful not to break it. But this didn’t happen to me yet :D The different designs are really pretty and you have lashes which make your look more dramatic or lashes which are on the simple side. Below I will show you three different lashes from this box which each create another effect. Except of the lashes I added my eyes are bare on each picture without any additional make-up. Normally I would prefer to use eyeliner at least which makes the lashes look much prettier.

The box doesn’t contain any lash glue, so if you consider buying these keep that in mind. You can get the lashes at BornPrettyStore for US$ 5.99 and you can use the coupon code KBX31 for a 10% discount :) They offer free shipping, too! I think this is a pretty affordable box of nice differently designed lashes and recommend them to anyone who wants to try some different styles.
