Corsage by Chilirose from Zugeschnürt

12. May 2016

// PR SAMPLE / FASHION //

I’m not a cosplayer, although I envy everyone who puts so much effort into their costumes and even makes them by their selves…but I do love Halloween! It is a bit early to think about Halloween, but I’m already planning my costume in my head. So I was really happy when the company Zugeschnürt asked me, whether I wanted to try and review any items from their shops. The corsages they offer were so pretty, I kept thinking about Halloween and my costume…Finally, I decided to try this Corsage by Chilirose.

Zugeschnürt means “corded up” in German and since this refers to the mechanism of corsets and corsages it is clear what the company retails: it is all about corsets, corsages and lingerie. The difference between corsages and other lingerie lies in the point that a corsage can be worn as clothing item. It can be combined with pants or skirts and creates a very feminine and elegant look on top.

You can already see from the packaging of the product, which came in a box with wrapping paper that the corsage has a higher quality. I bought Halloween costumes in the past which used like cheap-quality corsages or something similar looking, but this is totally different. It has integrated harder parts which give you a nice posture and add to give a slimmer waist. The corsage really feels like something proper to wear.

It can be adjusted on the back by straps (be sure to loosen them before you wear the corsage) and has sturdy fastenings at the front to close the corsage up. There is a ribbon in the front as well… The pretty pattern shows black flower embroideries on a beige fabric.

The pattern combined with the ruffling on the top and bottom rounds up the image nicely. It looks really high quality and elegant. The ribbons add even more to the beauty of this piece of clothing! I can imagine that this will look wonderful with a tufted skirt/knee-long ballerina skirt…or with an A-Line cocktail skirt.

All in all I’m in love with my choice and I’m already looking for a skirt that fits to it, to make it a complete outfit. The Corsage by Chilirose retails for 39.90 € from Zugeschnürt and they also deliver to other countries than Germany. If you like corsages and corsets you might want to take a look at their other products, too!

What is your opinion to this corsage? How would you combine it best?

Review: Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses

30. October 2015

It’s Halloween tomorrow and I’ve prepared a new circle lens review for you just in time. I received Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses from LoveShoppingholics and since I’m using these for my costume tomorrow it’s the perfect timing for this review, too. This is my first time receiving lenses from LoveShoppingholics, so I was especially excited to try these. Continue reading for my impression and my Halloween Make-Up:

First about my contact lens background: I wear my regular contact lenses a lot, so my eyes are in general used to wear contact lenses. Some words about my eyes in advance: My prescription is -0.25 and -0.5, which is why I choose plano lenses mostly, because these small steps of prescription are usually not available for fashion lenses. Also, my eyes have astigmatism, which is the reason that lenses which are not adjusted to my base curve might feel uncomfortable more quickly than for normal eyes.

I received these Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses from LoveShoppingholics, a fashion contact lens online retailer. It was the first time I received something from this store and I was so surprised to see with how much love the package was put together. I literally fell in love! ♥ The lenses were packet in a adorable blastic bag inside a organza bag. Also there was a “Thank You!”-note included, which was lovely!

The lenses came in the typical vials, together with a animal lens case shaped like frogs. I love those animal lens cases and I’ve collected to many of these :D I chose the lenses without prescription. You can find the description of the Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses >>here<<. As the name tells you I chose the blue lenses. They are also available in 3 other colors: grey, green, and red. Here are the properties for the lenses:

Diameter : 14.5 mm
Water Content : 45 %
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

Here are my thoughts on the Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses:

Design:

I love these kin of design! By mixing three colors these 3-tone lenses blend in best with your natural eye color. The circle on the outside is not overly extreme and apart from the enlargement these look quite natural.

Comfort:

These lenses are more comfortable as other fashion lenses I tried because they have a higher water content. They are softer and less noticeable while wearing them.

Enlargement:

It has a visible enlargement. I have quite large eyes naturally, but I can imagine that these lenses look creepy on people with smaller eyes. The blue makes it even stand out more if you have a darker natural eye color.

And since it is almost Halloween I decided to wear some spookey Harley Quinn inspired Make-Up aswell. Hope you like it! :D

These are the favourite blue ciclre lenses I tried so far, so I can recommend you to check these. Especially since the water content is higher they are quite comfortable, despite the enlargement. You can buy the Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses from Loveshoppingholics for 22.99 US$. Happy Halloween everyone!

Review: Lensvillage The Dolly Eye Crayon 217 Green Lenses

23. September 2015

The Dolly Eye Crayon 217 Green Lenses were provided to me for sponsoring by LensVillage weeks ago. My apologies for the late review! I love green eyes, but it is difficult to have natural looking green eyes with lenses if you have dark brown eyes naturally. Usually the colors don’t come through nicely, or it looks way to artificial, so you only can wear them for cosplay, costume partys or Halloween. Let’s see how these lenses by The Dolly Eye turn out!

I wear my regular contact lenses a lot, so my eyes are in general used to wear contact lenses. Some words about my eyes in advance: My prescription is -0.25 and -0.5, which is why I choose plano lenses mostly, because these small steps of prescription are usually not available for fashion lenses. Also, my eyes have astigmatism, which is the reason that lenses which are not adjusted to my base curve might feel uncomfortable more quickly than for normal eyes.

I received these lenses from The Dolly Eye from LensVillage. The lenses came in the typical vials, together with a buisness card and a regular lens case. I got the lenses without prescription. The vials are really cute from their design, because of the colors and the hearts on the labels. You can find the description of The Dolly Eye Crayon 217 lenses >>here<<. They are also available in 5 other colors: blue, grey, brown, pink and violet. Here are the properties for the lenses:

Diameter : 14.8 mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

Here are my thoughts on The Dolly Eye Crayon 217 Green Lenses:

Design:

The green of the lenses is a darker green color, almost turquoise. It is a pretty color and shows off on my dark eyes, too, but it doesn’t blend in naturally. It will look better on blue or green eyed persons and will probably intensify their natural eye color.

Comfort:

These lenses are not comfortable for m personally, but that is because of the base curve. The material of the lenses is soft, so I think that people with normal base curve will be able to wear these lenses for some hours, before feeling their eyes being dry.

Enlargement:

It has a visible enlargement, and since the color stands out heavily against my natural eye color it looks also dolly, almost creepy :D Perfect for Halloween or Cosplay.

These won’t be the lenses I would wear daily, rather these are better suited if you want to make an appearance. I think they can be also suited for a upcoming halloween costume. You can find The Dolly Eye Crayon 217 Green Lenses at LensVillage for US$ 19.50 >>here<<.

Review: LensVillage The Dolly Eye Candarae ML5 Lenses

22. May 2015

I should have written this review of The Dolly Eye Candarae ML5 lenses in brown much earlier, but my eyes were a bit sensitive recently (due to spring time) and so it took me a bit longer. Finally, here is my review for these lenses, which were kindly send to me by LensVillage.

I received these lenses from The Dolly Eye from Lensvillage. The lenses came in the typical vials, together with a buisness card and an animal lens case. I got the lenses without prescription. The vials are really cute in their design, because of the colors and the hearts on the labels. And I love this hippo lens case ♥

You can find the description of The Dolly Eye Candarae ML5 lenses >>here<<. They are also available in other colors like blue, grey, green and violet. Here are the properties for the lenses:

Diameter : 14.5 mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

Here are my thoughts on The Dolly Eye Casndarae ML5 Lenses:

Design:

The rose pattern all over the lenses is very special and pretty. I had hoped that the pattern would be visible on my eyes, but unfortunately my eyes are too dark. I would have loved if the color of these lenses would have been brighter and more visible on my eyes.

Comfort:

These lenses are quite comfortable, since they are not overly large. I can wear them some time, before my eyes get tired. Probably, on eyes with normal base curve these are very comfortable.

Enlargement:

It has a visible enlargement, but nothing too huge and unnatural. I think this is a good size for people with naturally larger eyes.

Shipping:

Shipping was quick, but it was stuck in the customs this time. If you get standard shipping it will take 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 ♥.

Below you will find some pictures on how the lenses look on my eyes:

All in all, these are nice lenses. I the pattern would have been more noticeable they would be great for cosplay, but since the pattern almost dissolves with my natural eyecolor it looks surprisingly natural.

You can find The Dolly Eye Candarae Lenses at Lensvillage for US$ 19.50 >>LensVillage<<.

Review: The Dolly Eye 3D Bat Green Lenses

6. March 2015

Another lens review today! This time it is The Dolly Eye 3D Bat Green Lenses, which I received from Lensvillage. I reviewed previously another lens from The Dolly Eye >>here<< if you are interested, but first let’s jump right into the review:

I received these lenses from The Dolly Eye from Lensvillage. The lenses came in the typical vials, together with a buisness card and a lens case. I got the lenses without prescription. The vials are really cute in their design, because of the colors and the hearts on the labels.

You can find the description of The Dolly Eye 3D Bat Green Lenses >>here<<. They are also available in other colors like blue, brown, pink, grey and violet. Here are the properties for the lenses:

Diameter : 14.8 mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

Here are my thoughts on The Dolly Eye 3D Bat Green Lenses:

Design:

The design is very special. It has a pattern like ornaments. Also the green color of these lenses is more of a emerald-green. I think the design is very pretty and it also shows nicely even on my dark eyes.

Comfort:

These lenses were a bit uncomfortable after a while, because of the size, but other than this they are really soft and don’t hurt your eyes. Using eyedrops makes them quite wearable for lenses of this diameter.

Enlargement:

Enlargement is visible. It has a super dolly effect!

Shipping:

Shipping was quick since it came with FeDex this time. If you get standard shipping it will take 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 ♥.

Below you will find some pictures on how the lenses look on my eyes:

All in all, these lenses have a pretty design, which is not necessarily natural, but very pretty. If you want to use it for a costume/cosplay, you might like these because of the pretty color and the enlargement they provide.

Products used: The Dolly Eye 3D Bat Green Lenses, Innisfree Ampoule Intense Cushion, Shiseido Suite Trick Eyes, Innisfree Creammellow Lipstick

Review: Dueba Crystal.i Blue Circle Lenses

19. February 2015

// PR SAMPLE / FASHION / BEAUTY //

My last circle lens review has been ages ago, but here it is finally! A pair of lenses was send to me kindly by Lensvillage, the Dueba Crystal.i Blue Circle Lenses. I reviewed the grey ones of these before >>here<<, so if you are curious check out the review I did back then. I wear my regular contact lenses a lot, so my eyes are in general used to wear contact lenses. Some words about my eyes in advance: My prescription is -0.25 and -0.5, which is why I choose plano lenses mostly, because these small steps of prescription are usually not available for fashion lenses. Also, my eyes have astigmatism, which is the reason that lenses which are not adjusted to my base curve might feel uncomfortable more quickly than for normal eyes.

It seems Dueba Lenses are distributed under various names, which is why the vial in which the contact lenses arrived are called “Belita” instead of Dueba. The vials are labelled in blue and pink and look like most of the contact lens vials. I received my lenses together with a buisness card from Lensvillage and a contact lens case shaped like two animals. I guess these are fish, am I right? I love these animal lens cases and I have collected quite some different ones since I first tried circle lenses.

The prescription of the lenses is written on the lid of each vial, so will know which one is for which eye in case you have eyes with different prescription.

The label of the vial also contains the description of the lenses. These Dueba Crystal.i Grey Circle 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

You can already see the color and the design of the lenses in he vial but it is more clear when you remove them from the vial and put them into your lens case. Also, keep in mind to add fresh contact lens solution and soak the lenses in the solution over night before using the lenses.

Here are some details about the Dueba Crystal.i Grey Circle Lenses:

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. I think they will look even better on lighter brown eyes, because the blue will look brighter, too. With dark brown eyes the blue is quite dark.

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. Actually, I felt that these were not sitting right on my eyes but moved around. I guess it is because of the base curve of the lenses. It might be that if you have normal eyes you will find these lenses more comfy than I did.

Enlargement:

Enlargement is clearly visible. It is not enourmous like with the Princess Mimi Bambi Series, but it clearly makes the eyes stand out.

Shipping:

Below you will find some pictures on how the lenses look on my eyes. I was lucky that day, because I had good natural light, since the sun was shining :)

In the flash picture above you will probably notice that the lenses didn’t fit properly on my eyes and moved around. Have a look at my pupils and you’ll see what I mean :D

All in all, I still preferr more comfortable lenses for my eyes. I had good experience with Geo lenses so far, for example. Still, these are nice and affordable lenses. You can buy these lenses at Lensvillage for US$ 19.50 >>here<<.

Review: Dream Eye Black Snowflake Contact Lenses

25. June 2014

I reviewed Dream Eye circle lenses/coloured lenses by SpookyEyes a while ago already and here is the third pair I received for reviewing. It is called Dream Eye Black Snowflake Contact Lenses. It is mainly the name which made me curious to try, because it sounds somehow mysterious, doesn’t it? You can find my previous review on the Brown Star Glow contact lenses here and on Hazel Iris Circle lenses here.

Dream Eye Black Snowflake Contact Lenses

You don’t know Dream Eye, yet? Dream Eye is a Korean, FDA approved circle lens manufacturer. These yearly lenses don’t come in the typical vial, but in a standard paper card packaging. The design is simple and it looks similar to the packaging of normal contact lenses that you’ll receive from your eyes doctor. Each package is labelled by a sticker where the product number and the details like prescription, expiration date, diameter and curve radius are written on (the expiration date is meant for the unopened contact lenses of course). Inside of the box you’ll find the two lenses, each packed separately in a plastic container. The inside of the paper card box contains the description and usage of the contact lenses and is very thoroughly.

Dream Eye Black Snowflake Contact Lenses

On SpookeyEyes you’ll find the following description for the lenses:

Our Black Snowflake Contact Lenses will light up your eyes and add drama to your look. These circle lenses have a beautiful snowflake design that enhances your natural eye color instead of covering it up. The black outline intensifies your eye color and makes the whole eye seem bigger. They look incredible and really draw attention to your eyes. Dream Eyes Contact Lenses are high quality fashion contact lenses. They are soft and breathable, with a high water content that makes them very comfortable to wear. These brown&hazel color contact lenses keep your eyes feeling hydrated and comfortable all day long. They are easy to use and clean, working in complete harmony with your eyes.

Diameter : 14.5 mm
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

Water Contact: 42 %

Dream Eye Black Snowflake Contact Lenses

This is how the lenses perform:

Design:
The design really looks like a snowflake. The outer circle of the lens is dark brown/black and the snowflake pattern helps to blend in with your natural eye color. The dark color also helps to give your eyes an enlargement effect. I thought the snowflake pattern would be more visible on my eyes, but it simply blends in and looks super natural, although making your eyes larger on the same time.

Comfort:
The wearability was good. I could wear them on work and only after 5-6 hours I had to use eye drops, so the lenses are comfortable.

Enlargement:
As I said, the black/darker color makes your eyes appear deeper and larger on the same time. The enlargement doesn’t look unnatural though, because the color blends in nicely with dark brown eyes.

Shipping:
SpookeyEyes offers free shipping internationally which is really great! I didn’t have any problems with the delivery either. Thanks again!

Here is how the lenses look on my eyes. Keep in mind that I have brown eyes naturally. The lenses might look different on brighter eyes.

Dream Eye Black Snowflake Contact Lenses

I like these lenses as naturally enhancing lenses. They make brown eyes look deeper and larger.Nevertheless, the snowflake pattern didn’t show up, which is also a bit sad, because the promised mysterious look is not really visible. Nevertheless, other than this, these are nice lenses which beautify your eyes. If you like these lenses check out SpookeyEyes and have a look through their wide range of contact lenses. These lenses cost 27.95 US$.

Did anybody else try the Dream Eye lenses? What is your opinion about these lenses?

Review: Dream Eye Hazel Iris Circle Contact Lenses

7. June 2014

You remember the Dream Eye circle lenses/coloured lenses by SpookyEyes I received and reviewed a while ago? Here is another pair called Dream Eye Hazel Iris Circle Lenses. You can find my previous review on the Brown Star Glow contact lenses here.

Dream Eye Hazel Iris Circle Contact Lenses

On SpookeyEyes you’ll find the following description for the lenses:

Dream Eyes Contact Lenses are high quality fashion contact lenses. They are soft and breathable, with a high water content that makes them very comfortable to wear. These brown&hazel color contact lenses keep your eyes feeling hydrated and comfortable all day long. They are easy to use and clean, working in complete harmony with your eyes.

Diameter : 14.5 mm
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

Unfortunately, I didn’t find any information on the water content.

Dream Eye Hazel Iris Circle Contact Lenses

This is how the lenses perform:

Design:

The design is simple. It is basically an outer brown colored circle, making your eyes look like the eyes of a doll. I thought the brown color would be brighter- more hazel, but it is a typicxal brown color instead.

Comfort:

These wearability was comfortable. I could wear them on work and only after 5-6 hours I had to use eye drops.

Enlargement:

Enlargement is clearly visible. It makes your eyes look super dolly, but not unnaturally. They give you a more childish look.

Shipping:

SpookeyEyes offers free shipping internationally which is really great! I didn’t have any problems with the delivery either. Thanks again!

Here is how the lenses look on my eyes. Keep in mind that I have brown eyes naturally. The lenses might look different on brighter eyes.

Dream Eye Hazel Iris Circle Contact Lenses

I liked how comfortable these lenses were. At first I was a bit dissapointed because they didn’t look that much like hazel brown color, but they were very natural on my brown eyes, it just looked like I had larger eyes. a nice effect and definitively everyday-wearable.

Dream Eye Hazel Iris Circle Contact Lenses

If you like these lenses check out SpookeyEyes and have a look through their wide range of contact lenses. These lenses cost 27.95 US$.

Did anybody else try the Dream Eye lenses? What is your opinion about these lenses?

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
