GEO Flower Series Review! Part 1

Hey Gals and Guys
Happy Labor Day everyone~

So today is part 1 of 3 circle lenses review. Sent to me from Mukuchu.com Each pair is from the Carnation Series.






Above is a much better photo of what the design actually looks like. For each color the design is the same.


Details:
Color: Purple (WFL-A41)
Series: Carnation
Diameter: 15.00mm
Manufacture: GEO


[Without Flash]

[With Back lighting]
These lenses are so pretty! At first I thought I wasn't going to like them..cause I mean..why would I want flower eyes?? But they look just as nice as any of my other circle lenses. As always with their XTRA series the 15.00mm diameter really does give the perfect enlargement for me. I really love how much the purple actually stands out even without lighting/flash! My only concern would be how comfortable they are. My eyes felt a bit dry a little bit after I put them on which was kinda irritating. My friend Grace said that the EOS lenses are very comfortable so I hope to try those someday.



Overall: 4.5/5
Style:
Comfort:
Enlargement:
Coloration:

Bonus Photos!
So I tried to do a My Little Pony Twilight Sparkles inspired look.  Basically I just wanted it to look like the colors of the Galaxy. It was hard to take a picture of the finished look because my camera had trouble capturing the purple and blue pigments separately.


 

What do you gals think? Yay or Nay? I had a bunch of silver pigment from Sugarpill in the corners of my eyes but my camera washed it out Like it was never there. Thanks camera D<

I hope everyone is having an awesome 3day weekend.  Don't forget to check out my High Gloss Fashion giveaway to win a top of your choice ^^

Zombies can be Gal too! New Circle Lenses

Hey everyone! And Welcome to my newest followers~

 I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far. I have been busy at home pulling all night-ers.
Havn't had any time to hang out with friends or do anything remotely fun. I miss social contact ;_; I have not been this miserable in awhile. There's just so much going on in my life right now that its taken a lot out of me. I literally feel like a zombie.

I guess this feeling totally suits the lenses I just received. Mukuchu.com
Sent me my second pair of lenses the other day. They sent me another pair of grey lenses.
Which is awesome cause I love grey lenses! You can find my previous review here


Details:
WMI-24 Xtra Series
Brand: Geo
Diameter: 15.00mm
Color: Grey

Without Flash


With Flash


With Flash

They are pretty comfortable to wear. I have yet to be disappointed by Geo Lenses. The only problem with these are the color. The grey coloration doesn't show up as much as my other pair did. Its hardly noticeable at all unless you look close or with flash. Although the color isn't as great as I hoped it to be they are still pretty cute and give great enlargement! If your looking for size these are great but if you want really grey lenses I wouldn't recommend these. Maybe those with lighter color eyes will have better results?

           Enlargement:
Style:
                                  Color:☆                                
          Comfort:     

I present to you shameless camwhore shots. 


Look what the heat does to my hair?!!!!!!

Okay thats enough. But you can see the enlargement in the photos above.
I have been enjoying these lenses very much. I think I just really like the size more than anything else.
I've been addicted to the 15.00mm lenses. They are the perfect size. Next time I will tell you guys about my horrible 6 months lenses experience. I can't even behind to write how much it pisses me off. That's a story for next time! Sorry I'm leaving you guys with short sentences, I'm running off a few hours of sleep, Phineas and Ferb, and tons of Fairly Oddparent episodes,

Napoleon Perdis- Swept Away Brush Set Review.

Good Evening!
So I recently ordered a brush set from Apothica.com using my gift card
that was given to me by my sponsor.

I decided I wanted to check out the brush set from Napoleon Perdis from their Swept Away Holiday 2010 Collection. I was going to buy it when I went to their Concept Store but it is an item only available online.
Since I saw they had it on Apothica I decided to just go ahead and get so I can share my thoughts with you  guys. They have two colors sets. Cobalt and Teal. I choose Teal.

Price:
Napoleon Perdis Online: $39.50
Apothica: $47.40

Apothica does do price matching but I didn't even know till my package came this morning. They only allow up to 5 days of Price Matching.. which I don't really like. They should really extend this

Outside Packaging.



This is an 8 Piece Travel Size Brush Set.
Made with both Natural and Synthetic material.
Contains:
- 1 Face Brush 
- 1 Foundation Brush 
- 1 Shadow Brush 
- 1 Crease Brush 
- 1 Smudge Liner Brush 
- 1 Angled Liner Brush 
- 1 Mascara Brush 
- 1 Sponge Applicator

On Apothica they did NOT list that this is a Travel Size Brush set. Which is definitely not good.

Comparison of what the length of the brushes look like.


The thickness of the face brush is more oval and not so much roundish.

Face Brush


Comparison to a Sigma Travel Brush. The only difference would be the Sigma Brushes have a longer handle. 


Foundation Brush


Eye shadow Brush


Crease Brush


Smudge Liner Brush


Sponge Applicator


Brow/Mascara brush 

I realized I forgot to take a photo of the eyeliner brush! Sorry.

Pros:
+Easy to store, Good for traveling
+Nice Packaging
+Brush hairs are tightly packed.
+Soft brushes
+Good starter set.
+Fast Shipping

Cons
+Way too pricey.
The set was originally around $70. But now it is reduced to $47 on Apothica which is still way
too much in my opinion for a travel brush kit though I suppose your paying for the name.
4/5

Would I recommend this to anyone?
If you really like Napoleon Perdis products, or prefer higher in brand products this is great for you.
Or even looking for a really nice gift for a coworker/friend.

If your on a budget I would suggest ECO-TOOLS! Those are great and a set is like $10.99
They are basically my main set of tools.

What are your favorite brushes?
Thanks for reading!

Feeling fancy? New lashes and Friends!

Hi yall~
Today isn't so hot! Im so happy
Im usually not able to sleep because of the heat but today is a really nice day!

A few weeks ago Kkcenterhk sent me two pairs of their newest lashes to review.
ES Natural Cross False Lashes ($6.50 for a box of 10 pairs)
and 
Clear Band False Lashes($8.00 for a box of 10 Pairs)
Clear Band Lashes.

Both of the lashes come in similar boxes. Although I was slightly disappointed this time around
because both my lashes boxes came in a okay condition. There was no water damage or anything but they were dented and
squished. If I was purchasing those as a gift I would be upset giving away a damaged box
.
[CLICK ALL PHOTOS TO ENLARGE THEM]
This is what the Clear Band lashes look like.

This is what the Cross Lashes look like.


I really like the style of the Clear Band Lashes. But as you can see the clear band
is still pretty visible. It kinda defeats the purpose of it being clear. You could always cover it with liquid eyeliner.

I give these a 3.5 out of 5
+The price is cheaper than most of their $13.00 x10 box Lashes
+I like the style and length of the lashes
-Packaging did not come in excellent condition
- The clear band is visible.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
These are the Natural Cross Lashes. At first I didn't really like these because they didn't show up too well.
But they are basically doing their job. Basically giving a more "extended" look without looking too dramatic. There are some days were less is more and in this case these would come in handy.


I give these a 4.5/5
+Love the style
+Does give a more natural look.
+Fairly priced for a box of 10 pairs.
+Box was damaged



This pass week a friend of mines Kammie of Minty Mix was in town for our
local anime conventions. I was able to meet up with Kim and the others so we can shop in the Downtown Fashion District, grab some Ice Cream at Scoops and have another wonderful meal at Sashi's
here is my previous post from Sashi basically my new favorite restaurant. 



One of my favorite little babies! Haru, he is such a little diva.
He posed and smiled for the camera. 

Look at him posing! He wasn't even sitting like that till I pulled out the camera!!!
He looks like a baby Grandpa!


Starting at Sashi~ Don't even know what this was but..it was delicious. 

I don't know what this was either but.. it was also delicious.
I think I like Sashi so much because each dish has the right amount of flavor that I personally prefer.
Also the right combination. Most places don't fix food the way I like it but Sashi has yet to fail me.

This was my Spicy Tempura Roll~ 

Spicy Tuna Roll.

Micheal and his Bikini Roll~

Some of the best Gyoza I have ever tasted.

My FAVORITE Item on the special menu. Dungeness Crab Roll!
Topped with Parmesan cheese~ It is... heaven
I even had a dream about it last night. That it cost $300 and I could not afford that T^T

Now onto Dessert! Starring Korillakkuma~ 

Huge Watermelon Shaved Ice, topped with Ice Cream and I think there was ice cream on the bottom
Sadly it was devoured before I could try it. The watermelon shaved ice was...literally magic.
1 person alone could not finish that.

This was like some type of s'more thing. I don't know but it was good too 8D 

Spicy Chocolate Macarons. I've come to realize that.. I do not
like the ice cream very much. I personally don't like Sweet and Spicy mixed together
and the spiciness is very overwhelming. The macaron itself is delicious though!
Thanks again to Henry for another awesome dinner~

That is the end of this update. It was more about the food as you can tell >_>

Oh yea I almost forgot. So I guess its giveaway time already O:
