Geo Princess Mimi (Bambi) Apple Green Review!

Since it was almost Halloween (I know this post is like 2 months late) when I ordered this pair of circle lens, PinkyParadise had a special on shipping.
This year for Halloween, I wanted to do a Dark Little Red Riding Hood. So my original plan was to have one "normal" green eye and the other being red. But I ended up just getting a pair of green circle lens.

On with the review!

Brand: Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green (Bambi series)
Color: Green with yellow center and black outer rim
Diameter: 15.0 mm


Because they were having a special on express shipping, I did receive my contacts about two days before Halloween. Which was perfect since I had at least one day to try them out.
The lens themselves cost about $23.90 and plus express shipping, they came out to be $34.80.
Yes, that does mean that express shipping was only $10.90. Which is of course pretty cheap for express shipping. Originally, the total would've came out to be abut $40-$50.


Although I love how Maplelens has faster shipping, PinkyParadise just so much more selection when it comes to prescribed lens.

Picture Time!

Super cute lens case! I finally got a bear! :D (I don't like how its yellow though.)

How the lens look on brown eyes (Far Away)

Close up

How they look in the case

• Color: 10/10
• I love how natural the color looks on my dark brown eyes. They're vibrant enough that you can tell they're green but not enough to make me look freaky.
• Comfort: 10/10
• Despite them being 15.0mm which is .5mm larger than previous lens that I've purchased, they're pretty comfortable. Of course since they're a bit larger than what I'm already used to I had to get used to them for the first hour I wore them when I tried them on before wearing them for Halloween.
• Enlarging: 10/10
• With the lens being 15.0mm, they are pretty enlarging since like I said, they're bigger than what I'm used to. When I first put them on after letting them soak for the 8 hours you're required to do so, I joked how I looked like an alien since I didn't have any makeup on to make the lens look a bit more natural.

Like always, I'm not being paid to do this review.

As for the makeup I'm wearing in these pictures:

Eyebrows: E.l.f eyebrow kit in Medium

Eyes: Nyx Jumbo eye pencil in Black Bean, Etude House Tear eyeliner in Pearl tear, and Maybelline Clear Mascara

Bottom line, I'm glad with this purchase. So far, I've been liking each and everyone of the circle lens I've been purchasing and hopefully that will continue to be the case. I will be putting up new posts before Christmas rolls around (Oh my gawd, that's next Wednesday..). Two of the posts will be about recent orders I've received from PrettyandCute and areyouaniceguy.com (Wongfu Productions).

My last announcement is that I will be getting my hair done tomorrow by my cousin who has recently moved up here from California and that will be what the other post is about. :)

If I don't get all three done by Christmas, they will for sure be up before the end of the year.

Happy Holidays! :)

Hope this was helpful to you!

How to make Realistic Cuts (Makeup Tutorial)

I know this is too late to do for Halloween but this can be used any time you want to have fake cuts!
I did honestly have to look up how to do this online and came across the wikihow on it.
(So, I didn't come up with this on my own.)

http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Fake-Cuts-Using-Makeup

Now onto the tutorial!

Things you will need:

Black face paint crayon, Brown eyeliner, Red face paint, Pure Red lip gloss, old Black eyeliner, Eye shadow smudge brush, pink or rose blush, brown and black eye shadow

Step 1: Use a black face paint crayon to outline where you want your cut to be. Keep in mind that cuts are not always perfectly straight lines unless its a paper cut. Make it so that there are some places that are thicker than the rest of the line.

 Step 2: Trace the black line with the brown eyeliner. This will help make the red look more like aged blood inside the cut.

Step 3: Go over the line with the red face paint. When doing this, you can go ahead and go outside of the line a bit.

Step 4: Go over the line and red face paint with a Pure Red lip gloss. This will give it the appearance of fresh blood. Make sure the lip gloss does not have any sort of shimmer or glitter of any kind, just gloss. Keep in mind that the applicator will get messy after doing this makeup, so you should either clean it after or not use it on your lips.

Step 5: Take the brown and black matte eye shadows and place this combination only on the parts where the black line is thicker than the rest of the line. Near the parts where the line is thinner, place only brown eye shadow.

Sephora Smudge Shadow brush

Step 6: Use matte pink blush to blend out the brown and black eye shadow. This gives the surrounding skin a swollen look. Smudge out the edges to make it look much more natural looking.

Step 7: Using an old Black eyeliner, trace the black line again. Then use the red lip gloss to blend it out so that the black blends into the red to show depth in the cut. The reason why is has to be an old black eyeliner is because when it dries, it starts to crack.

*Note: Your new "cut" will not dry, so you do have to be careful not to touch or smudge it.*

How to Remove:

Step 1: Use a cotton pad or tissue to wipe it off. Since the eye shadow is powder, it will not come off just by wiping it.

Step 2: Use a makeup remover or oil cleanser to clean off the eye shadow and whatever is left off.

The make up I did was just a simple pin-up with Maybelline Color Whisper in Who wore it Red-er.

I'm also wearing Geo Princess Mimi (Bambi) Apple Green circle lens. ;)

[Review to come soon!]

You can use this for any sort of costume that involves cuts, scratches, scrapes, and even bruising! Of course for bruising, you have to add a purple or blue eye shadow to show broken blood vessels under the skin. Remember to just have fun with it and it doesn't have to be perfectly like the ones you see in pictures.

Hope this gives you an idea for next year! :)
