❤Circle Lenses & Stuff❤

So, I finally managed to do the circle lens review I promised to do! Yay! I also added a couple more product reviews in here, that's your belated Christmas gift from me, not really!

P.S. I'm not feeling good, so I don't look that great in these photos, don't mind it. Just read the reviews and don't tell me I look tired or sleepy or sick because I already know, okay?

P.S.S These are only webcam photos, which means they are low quality photos, don't mind that either. I also had way too much fun taking these pictures so don't mind my O.O and @.@ or OoO okay?


    ❝EOS Candy Magic King Size Blue❞
I bought these lenses from HoneyColor. They have a wide range of circle lenses to choose from-- many colours and brands. They even sell Dollywink! They also have sales very often. So check them out sometime! 


Brand... E.O.S, a.k.a Candy Magic  
Colour... blue/aqua
Diameter... 14.5mm
Base Curve... 8.8mm
Strength... -0.00 plano (both eyes)  
Effect... 16.5 mm 


Upsides: 
  • They are very opaque
  • They have a rich dark blue colour
  • The limbal ring is very dark
  • They create a wonderful wide-eyed, doe-eyed, dolly look. 
  • They look good with pink!
Downsides: 
  • They look slightly pixelated when close up
  • They look very light when not in the eye, which is deceiving since they are very dark when worn
  • They don't look very natural when close up
  • From far away they look black (but I'm OCD, ignore me) 
Comfort ✭✭✭✭✩
At first I can feel them on my eye and it feels like I have an eyelash or some other kind of debris in my eye, but after a like 15 minutes I can't even feel them on my eyes! Sometimes I think they have disappeared. 

Appearance ✭✭✭✭✩
I love the colour and dolly look of these lenses, but like I said in the downsides, they are very pixelated and unnatural when you look at them up close. A lot of people say they are creepy, but that's just because no one around my town has seen people wearing circle lenses, if I was in, let's say Japan, I wouldn't get that reaction. 

Enlargement ✭✭✭✭✭
Five stars for enlargement! They have a 14.5 mm diameter and create a noticeable 16.5 mm effect! To me that's some big eyes! 

↓Here are some more pictures of me wearing the lenses↓




Some other stuff I bought (from various places): 
Oh, by the way, I'm wearing the circle lenses in these photos! (^_^)
I really, really don't like this picture at all, but whatever! What the heck? Why are my lips blue??? and why does my nose look huge??? Why is my fingernail red???  Ugh, I can' t win (T_T)
Rhoto C3 Moist Eyedrops
This makes my eyes go, "Ahhhh..." when I've worn my circle lenses for a few hours. It lubricates and moisturises the lens, reduces redness and irritation created from lenses, protects the cornea, replenishes the eye with vitamins (your eyes need vitamins?), and releases a cool feeling into the eye. I love these and they are a must in my purse!!! 
Available at: HoneyColor.com


You can't see the product label or anything-- but I'll tell you, just wait okay??? Thought I should put it in my face because it's small and wouldn't be very noticeable otherwise; plus, I don't want that big nose disaster that seems to happen when I hold small objects (T_T)...
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Shadow Duo
I absolutely LOVE this eyeshadow! Especially the lighter side! I don't like bright eyeshadows, so here's to the natural, golden look! The colour is called 24K Bold and the colours look like: medium matte brown with only a little bit of shimmer and golden flax with a lot of shimmer and sparkle. Looks lovely in real life, not on webcam since I was wearing this eyeshadow in all of these pictures (T_T) 

Available at: Victoria's Secret (can get it at the VS store or catalogue too!)

Please don't ask about this photo (T_T) I don't even know... I just don't even know...
Victoria's Secret Runway Eye-Liner
Can you say "NEW FAVOURITE EYELINER?!" I love this eyeliner! It goes on so smooth and soft! It includes a smudger on the other end that is perfect for creating that winged cat eye look. The colour is called Extreme Black, which is basically a very rich, dark black. 

Available at: Victoria's Secret (can get at the store and catalogue, as well)


That's all for now!!!
Sincerely, 
Yumi
❤XOXO❤

Update 4 Today!

Pictures on their way. I'm going to take some webcam photos of my circle lenses today since I don't feel like downloading those pictures and then the Christmas ones, it takes too long! So, this is kind of like a preview, if you will, of my circle lenses. So stay tuned for like this evening and there will be crappy webcam photos of them!!

Circle lens review preview:
Anyways, about the lenses. They were really tricky to put in. Especially the left one! Oh my god, it kept folding and moving, but then finally, they stayed put and went on smoothly. So, few I thought that one didn't fit, but it did, thank god. I scared myself when I looked into the mirror after I put them on!! In low light, they are really intense and dark. I love them though, they feel like they're not even there and they aren't as noticeable with my family as I thought they would be.

Stay tuned Luvs!!!
❤XOXO❤

Review Time: HoneyColor.com Continued...

I wrote a post regarding the site HoneyColor. I will now review how their service was.

This is my first time ordering from them and it was really GOOD! My order arrived way earlier than they said it would arrive, which is really good. Also, they replied to all of my emails right away and sent me a tracking number and such, like I wrote about in the first review post. So, I guess the experience with HoneyColor wasn't that good for some people, but it a good site if you want a large selection of circle lenses. They also sell Dollywink and eye care products along with different cases and automatic lens cleaners. They also give you free animal cases with every purchase and free express shipping on order of 100+. Their site also has a very good layout and they people are polite. They give good information on how to care for lenses, as well. So, if I would recommend this site.
❤❤❤XOXO❤❤❤

❤Ahhhhh....❤

Oh yes, my circle lenses will be coming tomorrow. Wow, that shipping was very fast; much faster than I thought it would be. That makes me happy. Now I have them for Christmas!! That also means I will be able to review them sooner and post my Christmas post sooner, as well!! How lovely!! ❤❤❤ They are patiently waiting at my post office. I will go and get them tomorrow after school. I hope they are good and everything ordered is there. Meanwhile, a little later tonight I shall review my experience with HoneyColor!! ❤❤❤

Origin post is preparing shipment???

So, my circle lenses package was shipped out on the 12th, I received a tracking email from USPS and it's been stuck on origin post is preparing shipment since the 13th. I have no idea what this means, so I looked it up. But, I couldn't get a straight answer. I got three really popular ones such as:

"Your package is where it's coming from (in my case Malaysia) at the sorting centre. They are waiting for the bin to be full, so they can ship the load to the US."
"Your package is in the US where it's going to travel to your house. It's waiting for USPS to pick it up at the sorting centre."
"Your package is basically sitting in customs waiting to be shipped out. Once your package goes through customs, you're package will be handed over to USPS"

Do any of you know which is the right answer???


Here's what my tracking info looks like:

Has anyone else seen this???

Circle Lenses Harmful?

Recently I've heard some bad things about circle lenses in the USA. As you probably already know, I've ordered circle lenses. Apparently they are harmful and cause blindness. But, how come I never hear, nor ever heard, bad stories from actual people that wear circle lenses??? That's weird. What I'm thinking is that maybe the people writing it are stupid, stereotyping, assuming Americans (sorry perfectly awesome and knowledgable Americans, but sometimes some Americans are what I described above) that hear the American contact brands complaining that people stopped buying their colour contacts for ones that actually benefit the size and sexiness or your eyes and write a rant about it just by the rumour-has-it method. Hence, other assuming people hear this and rant, as well. I also noticed that articles (I researched the harmful effects of circle lenses my whole study period, which is two hours) mentioning the harmful effects were written when circle lenses became popular or when the US FDA heard about them. Hmm, fishy.

That brings up something else I've heard about circle lenses. They aren't approved by the US FDA. BUTT, they are approved by the Korean FDA!!! I don't get it!!! How come the US finds circle lenses so bad, but Korea approves them and manufactures them legally? That just sound really peculiar to me. Maybe it's because doctors are losing money because people aren't coming to them for colour contact fittings and such? I don't know, but I really don't think Asian countries would legalise  and approve the health of something that is harmful. If you don't know, Asian countries are kind of more advanced than the US in many ways. They are also healthier than the US. How come cigarettes are legal and they legalise marijuana in certain amounts in California, but disapprove circle lenses? It's not like people will become addicted to circle lenses, or get lung cancer, and stuff like that. I'm not expert, but I think it has something to do with income. Yeah that's right, the dough, the cash, the MONEY!!! I mean drugs bring in income, cigarettes do, and guess what? So do colour contacts. So when Asian companies were making money off Americans, the US was probably like, "OH, HELL NO! Those Asian countries can't take our money! We shall make circle lenses illegal for sale in the US!"

Studies also show that almost 2 million women, girls, and even guys (yeah, guys DO wear circle lenses) wear circle lenses in Japan! That's more than 30% of the population!!! So that means if circle lenses did harm people, wouldn't I hear more about the danger of them on the internet from people other than ranting, KnowItAll Americans??? It's because circle lenses are only harmful if you don't take care of them the right way, or have freakishly small or big eyes and need a bigger or smaller base curve.

This is my opinion, and it hasn't been approved by anybody (the US would probably arrest me for bashing them this way since I'm a USA citizen, or maybe not haha)

Review Time: HoneyColor.com

So, if you have read my last post, you probably know that I ordered circle lenses from Honey Color (I'll review them when I get them). For now, I'll review the site and customer service of HoneyColor.com

I thought the site was pretty and professionally designed. That is a big thing to me because I won't buy from a site that is unattractive and unprofessional design. So, my Dad place the order for me on Thursday. I received an email saying they are processing my order on the same night, which is pretty good I think. They sent me an email this morning informing me that my order had been shipped and that I will receive my package on December 29th. WHAT!? I mean it's great that they shipped my order at the time they are supposed to, but after Christmas??? When I first ordered it, the confirmation email had said it would arrive right before Christmas! It is my Christmas present and I really wanted it ON Christmas. So, there's a thumbs down for me: they lie about delivery times!!! Anyways, now I have to wait four days after Christmas to get my package. Great!! (not) Well, I did want express shipping, but my Dad ordered without me with my Uncle and he said I didn't need express shipping, that my package will come before Christmas even with standard shipping. No, Mr. KnowItAll, it's coming all the way from Malaysia! Don't you understand that if it's coming all the way from there, it will take a long time? No, because you're a KnowItAll. So, thanks to him, now my lenses are coming four days after Christmas!!! I'm not the happiest person right now...

So, I've been hearing some pretty bad reviews on HoneyColor. Complaints such as: they don't reply to email, they don't send tracking numbers, they never ship their packages, they don't refund, they send refunds quicker than it takes to ship packages, they don't give reasons why they didn't send their packages, it takes forever for packages to come,and many more. But, they replied to my emails and they already shipped my package. Hopefully, nothing bad happens from here. I thought the customer service was the same as Zappos, which has very good service reviews. They sent my package out at the same time and it took the same amount of time to reply to my emails. They both sent me tracking information that didn't work right away, but that's how tracking numbers work. They don't give information right away. Overall, I thought HoneyColor's customer service was decent and acceptable.

When I get my lenses, if I don't have problems like other people, I'll tell you how my service has went from this point and review the lenses.

Wanna buy lenses from them?

I also have their site banner on my sidebar. Yes! That is what I wanted! Woo-Hoo!!!

❤ YES ❤

So, Oh, finally I can cross one thing off my wish list! My circle lenses! My dad bought them for me tonight! It is my Christmas present this year! I am so happy!!! I can't wait until they come! They're coming around right before Christmas, so it works out pretty perfectly! Again, in case you don't know already, I'm getting EOS Candy Magic King Size in blue/aqua and Rhoto Moist eye drops.

Also, some other things I am soon going to be able to cross off my Christmas list is my new curling iron! I decided on getting Bed Head Tigi Maxxed Out. The pink one from my last post. And, another thing, I never made a post about this but it is so on my wishlist, my outfit from Victoria's Secret! No, it's not naughty, sexy time clothes. It's jeans (my deep love for VS jeans) and a sweater (my unconditional love for sweaters). They are all going to be Christmas gifts. The curling iron from Nani (my sister's great grandma) and the clothes from my godparent/ aunty. Yayzzz!!! \(^O^)/

Here's some pictures from Ageha showing models wearing my circle lenses and some hair photos (not from Ageha, but from Victoria's Secret, because of the outfit and curling iron mixed together) of big, loose curls of my dreams:

Honey Color Circle Lenses

Today I was reading Xiaxue's blog and I came across one of her sponsors, Honey Color. So I went on their site and started browsing their selection of circle lenses. I found the same exact ones I was going to buy from Pinky Paradise. Yeah, I decided not to buy any of the circle lenses in my circle lenses post. I decided I really like the EOS Candy Magic King Size Blue contact lenses. They are so blue and big and pwetty and AMAZING!! Turns out they are almost $10 cheaper on Honey Color than Pinky Paradise and even express shipping is cheaper than Pinky Paradise!! That means I have more of a chance that my daddy will buy them for me (◕◡◕) hehehe!! and they come with an adorable animal contact case!! Oh how wonderful this site is!! My total order came out to $47.50 including shipping!! That is very cheap for my Christmas Wish List!! I can't wait until I convince my daddy to order these for meee!! Hopefully he will, since I don't got enough money to buy them. Plus, what else is he going to buy me for Christmas??? 


So Honey Color is the way to go when buying circle lenses!!!  


Here's a look at what I am buying: 


EOS Candy Magic King Size Blue circle lenses
Original $25.90 $20..70
comes with free animal case!!

Rohto C3Moist Contact Lens Eye Drops 13 mL
$11.90
I'm afraid of getting dry eyes and my lenses shrivelling up and moving around my eyes so I wanna order these eyedrops. Unfortunately, the drops I originally wanted are out of stock.
Here's a picture of my order: 
You see, only 47.50 for all of it plus EXPRESS shipping!! To me, that's absolutely AMAZINGLY AMAZING!!

I NEED YOU OPINION,PLEASE!

I might be asking  for  some circle lenses for a present from my family, but i don't know what colour. I already made a post about circle lenses. I wanted Geo Nudy blue, but then I got on some circle lenses sights and see all these fantastical, AMAZING circle lenses!!  \(*O*)/ So, if you readers would be oh so very kind could you please give me your opinion on the best circle lenses?Because I cannot chose whatsoever, because they are all so AMAZING!!! i'll be ordering from Pinky Paradise because they have some great reviews. Sooo, picture credit to them (^_^)
So here's the ones I like:


 (well, it says it on the pics, but I'll tell you anyway) Geo Nudy Blue 
I like blue circle lenses, they look so crisp and girly and these ones hypnotise me! (@_@)

Princes Mimi Apple Green 15mm (Tsubasa Bambi Series)
I naturally have green eyes and I think these will enhance my eyes rather than change them completely, which is a good thing
 

Barbie King Size Circle Brown
When I look at gyaru models they, a lot of the time, have big brown circle lenses. I think they look really dolly without that creepy black circle lenses look some gyarus have. So these lenses are supposed to be the biggest lenses on Pinky Paradise and are highly recommended.

Super Pinky Grey 15mm
These lenses are the lightest prettiest grey circle lenses I have ever seen. I've always wanted grey circle lenses, but I always thought they were pretty boring considering grey being a boring colour in general. 

Max Pure Brown
I think these lenses are really fresh and deep looking. I also like the effect they have on the eyes that make them look enchanting. They were on the best sellers list on Pinky Paradise

Princess Pinky Honey Pink 
These circle lenses are like a really pretty brown. I know the name is deceiving, because you'd think they were those pink circle lenses. These are so pretty!

So, it's up to you. What do you think the best circle lenses are?

Here's the link if you're trying to look for a good circle lenses site:
