EOS Ice Blue Review!

Hello!~

I'm back and I have numerous posts I need to put up. Lately I have gotten caught up in focusing more on my school work and now it's finals week and all I have left to do is to turn in my final essay and then I'm done! So, hopefully that'll mean more posts for you guys! I also have "A Look At" video for these lens here:

Some upcoming posts/videos:

• Sephora Haul
• "In a Hurry" Makeup
• Daily SkincareRoutine
• Announcement!

With that said, let's get on with the review!

So, I've previously done a review on the EOS Ice Grey lens. Since they are in the same line, I feel exactly the same for these ones as I did for the grey ones. If you haven't read my review on those ones, here is the link:

http://obesepanda.blogspot.com/2014/03/eos-ice-grey-lens-review.html

Just like the grey ones, I purchased these ones off of Maplelens.com

http://www.maplelens.com/eos-ice-blue/

But unlike the grey version of these lenses, I do love the pigmentation of the blue ones much more. I feel like the pigmentation is natural enough for me to wear on an every day basis. As opposed to the grey ones which just looked black unless you were to look directly into the light source which is a no no for the eyes. The pigmentation is more of a true blue compared to the Geo Angel Blue lenses that I review when I first set up my blog.

Info:

Prescription: Left: 2.75, Right: 2.50

Diameter : 14.8mm

Water Content : 38%

Base Curve : 8.8mm

Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

In all honesty though, I love this series and it is very likely I will be getting other colors as well. I've had my eye on getting the green ones. The EOS Ice series is very thin so I feel like they're very comfortable. They also give you a cute teary eyed effect and with the right kind of makeup, make you look very innocent. I think the only down side is the water content which is only 38%. The water content pretty much determines how long the moisture will last when the lens is in your eye. Higher water content equals more moisture.

Rating (out of 5):

Comfort: 5

Like I stated above, these lenses are really thin which is why I thick they're really comfortable. But since they are so thin, you have to be careful when handling them especially if you have long nails. I have actually ripped a lens before.

Enlargement: 5

Since the diameter is 14.8 mm, I feel like that's a comfortable size for my eyes. Anything bigger is just too much, like the Geo Bambi lenses. I feel like anything that's 15 mm or bigger makes me look like an alien. 

Pigmentation: 4

Since I do like my circle lenses to look more natural, I love the pigmentation of these lenses because they're more natural but you can still tell what color they are. If you want something more vibrant, I suggest you not to get these.

I'm sorry this review wasn't something you were probably expecting.

Laneige BB Cushion Review!

Hey everyone!
I'm sorry I haven't posted anything since early April but now I'm back!
I don't know for how long but let's enjoy each other's company while I'm here.


Okay so last month I decided to buy the Laneige BB Cushion from my local Target.
Yes, TARGET SELLS LANEIGE!!!
So since I've had it for a little while now, I've decided it's time to write a review on it.

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

I so ecstatic when I saw Laneige being sold at Target here in the US. I was so happy that I just had to tell my best friend about it. The day I saw the Laneige products at Target, I decided to buy something. No, it wasn't the BB Cushion just yet. The very first Laneige product I bought was the Water Bank Sleeping Pack. Then a couple weeks after, I decided to finally buy the BB Cushion. I've been using it ever since.

This is what comes inside the box:

It also comes with a Refill!

This BB cushion retail for $34 according to the Target website.

http://www.target.com/p/laneige-bb-cushion-medium-5-oz/-/A-14897238#prodSlot=medium_1_3&term=laneige

Target carries three shades; Light, Medium, and Dark. I got it in the shade medium.

BB Cushion is pretty much BB cream in a compact form while still being a liquid. How does this work? Inside there's 0.52 oz of product with a cushion holding it in place. To get the product out, simply take the special sponge applicator and push on the cushion.

I say special because the applicator isn't your normal every day makeup sponge you can buy at a drugstore. It's specially designed to not absorb as much product as a regular makeup sponge would. The applicator is very soft and easy to use. To apply the product, simply tap the applicator on the face and keep tapping and moving the applicator around until the product is fully blended.

Ratings:

• Color: 4 out of 5
• The color I got was Medium which is a bit too light for my skin but with a little bit of bronzer, it works well.
• Packaging: 5 out of 5
• The packaging is very light and sturdy. Very travel friendly. You could even pop out the cushion portion of the packaging if the compact as a whole seems too bulky for you to bring on your travels.
• Concept: 3 out of 5
• Although I love the packaging, it being light and travel friendly, the concept has it's cons. The huge pro about this concept is that you don't have to bring a tube of BB cream with you when you travel and this compact makes it very easy for someone to bring along in case they need to touch up their makeup. But the con to this is that it's kind of hard to tell how much product is left in the cushion.
• Scent: 4 out of 5
• This product does have a light scent to it that goes away after a while. But if you're one of those people who either don't like having scents in their face products or are sensitive to scents, I don't recommend this to you.
• Texture and coverage: 4 out of 5
• When applied to the skin, the product is very light weight. But once its on the skin, you have to let it set for a couple of minutes other wise it feels a little tacky. The coverage is fine for me since I don't have as much breakouts as much as I did before. It covers up redness and evens out my skin tone.

Overall I like this product a lot especially since I use it as part of my school makeup. It's very easy to use and the application doesn't take that long. Highly recommend to those who are always in a rush. I don't really recommend to those who have oily skin like I do because unless you have a good setting powder, you will look very oily at the end of the day. I forgot to switch foundations once before going to work and when I got off work at 9:30pm, I was so oily it was disgusting. But using it for school, which is only about three hours for me, it does very well on staying on my face.

I have also posted "A Look At: Laneige BB Cushion" video on my YouTube Channel. It shows how to apply this BB Cushion and how it looks on my skin.

EOS Ice Grey Lens Review!

Hi guys!
I'm finally back with another circle lens review.
First off, I bought the EOS Ice Grey lens from Maplelens.com.

Well, on with the review!

Brand: EOS

Color: Grey

Diameter: 14.8mm

Water Content: 38%

Price on Maplelens: $18.90

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

The day I ordered these lens from Maplelens.com, they had a special discount code for their anniversary. By entering that code I got 10% or 20% off. Of course whenever I order from Maplelens, I always choose expiated shipping. That's another $10, so the discount helped me save a bit of money.
The reason why I chose these lenses was because I've wanted these ever since I saw a video on YouTube by luvableviet (Shantea Mac) and they looked so pretty on her.

Picture Time!

This time I got the yellow hippo. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of it. :(

Ratings:

• Color: 9/10
• I didn't give these lens a 10 because although I do like natural lens more, I still wanted the grey to show a little more. From far away under normal indoor lighting the lens look almost black. The color also blends with my natural color so they are still natural so I recommend them if you want natural lens.
• Comfort: 10/10
• As expected from EOS lens, these are so comfortable. When I wear them I can barely feel them in my eyes and you don't see the rim like the Geo Angel Blue lens that I had. They're very thin so I guess thats why I can barely feel them.
• Enlargement: 10/10
• For me, like I said I like natural lens so I don't mind if my circle lens don't enlarge my eyes too much. These are 14.8 in diameter so if you've tried the EOS Candy series, they're the exact same size. They do still enlarge your eyes enough that wearing them without makeup on look kind of funny. But they not too big so you can pass off with just wearing a bit of eyeliner and mascara.

These are my honest opinions about the lens. So the bottom line is, I think EOS is my favorite brand for circle lens instead of Geo. But Geo is still my second favorite. I'm very happy with my purchase and I don't regret buying these lens at all.

One last thing, I'm also going to post an "unboxing" video for these lens and a video to show how they look in my eyes on YouTube. Yes, I'm finally going to post something on my 2 year old YouTube channel. Hope this post was helpful to you in any way.

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!

*All pictures were taken under bathroom lighting.*

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.

One last picture:

Happy Holidays! :)

Lioele Enamel Lip Gloss Review

Here's a quick review on a recent purchase I made on prettyandcute.com.
I am not being sponsored to do this review, just so you guys know.
I bought the Lioele Enamel Lip Gloss in Rosy Pink. I honestly love Lioele in general even though I've only tried one other product by them.

04: Rosy Pink

The applicator

Swatches

 Before: without lip gloss

After: with lip gloss

So far, I absolutely love this lip gloss! It's very pigmented and non-sticky. 

Whenever my hair touches my lips while wearing this lip gloss, it doesn't stick to my lips at all. :D

Ratings (out of 5):

Color: 5 out of 5
What you see in the bottle, is what you get. Very pigmented. Does wipe off when you eat, drink, and of course wipe your mouth. Like I said, it's not sticky unlike other lip glosses I've tried in the past.

Smell: 5 out of 5
Smells amazing. Like a lot of YouTubers I've watched said, it smells like candy. Koreans really do know how to make their lip gloss smell good.

Moisturize: 5 out of 5
Very moisturizing and lasts pretty long. Just as long as the color.

Hoping to buy more in the near future. But I also want to try the Lioele Blooming Gloss. So, if any of you have tried it, comment below and tell me your thoughts and opinions.

Hope this was helpful!

John Frieda Dark Cherry Brown Review!

Okay, I know it seems like I dye my hair a lot. But honestly, I used to.
It has been about two months since the last time I dyed my hair.
Since then, I have taken good care of my hair.


I always wanted my hair to be a light ash blonde color but since I'm not fair enough, I know I can never dye my hair to that color.
Ever since my best friend dyed her hair a red color I kind of wanted to try it for myself.
Last weekend we went to our local Ulta store and I had purchased a box of John Frieda hair dye.

Dark Cherry Brown

Color Chart

Contents of Box

I chose this color because even though I wanted to dye my hair red, I was going for more of a burgundy color. I didn't want my hair to be bright and "in your face" red.

My Before Hair:

 You can see where I bleached my hair for the teal.

The Dying Process:

I kind of already had the feeling that my hair was going to turn out darker than it showed on the result chart.

Conditioner; smells amazing! :)

My After Hair:

You can't see the ugly blonde-green ^^

No Flash; Indoor Lighting

Red Tint...

Results: My hair looks black indoors but outdoor with sunlight, you can see more of the red.

More pics:

*The color will bleed when you shower the first time after dying your hair. Use colored towel.*

Ratings (out of 5):

Color: 2 out of 5

I liked how the color is a dark red. 

But I at least wanted the red to show a little more, especially in the sunlight. 

When in the sunlight you can only see the red tint. 

Softness: 5 out of 5

I love the size and smell of the conditioner.

After using it, my hair was so soft that I couldn't stop touching it.

The conditioner is also big enough for you to use once a week to prevent the color from fading.

Smell: 5 out of 5

My hair didn't smell like dye at all after dying it.

All my hair smelled like was the conditioner! :)

Would I repurchase this color? No. I was very disappointed how the color came out even though I knew the color would not turn out the same color on the box.

Recommend to Friend? Sure. If my friend ever wanted a more natural hair color but still wanted a nice colored tint.

EOS Candy Brown Circle Lens Review

Here's another review of circle lens.
This time I did buy them from Maplelens.com instead.


*The reason why I posted three posts today is to make up for the fact that I've been gone for awhile plus, it's my birthday! :D *


Brand: EOS
Color: Brown
Diameter: 14.8mm

My whole experience with Maplelens.com is honestly better than PinkyParadise.
They are based in Malaysia so, I did get my contacts much faster and the amount I paid for these lenses were very understandable.

They usually ship 1-2 business days.
On Maplens.com these lens are $18.90 and on PinkyParadise.com they're $22.90. Neither of those prices include shipping.
They are on sale now for about $16. ;)

The only down side of Maplelens.com is that they don't carry much contacts that are prescribed. :(

Close up

Comparison; I know I look creepy...

Without contacts

What lenses come with

• Color: 10/10
• If you want something more natural you shouldn't get these lens.The color, as you see in the pictures, is very vibrant and unnatural. In any lighting they are noticeable. These lens do have a dolly or "fake" effect to them which is why I bought them.
• Comfort: 10/10
• When I'm wearing them, I don't feel them in my eyes at all. They are much thinner than my Geo Angel Blue lens. When i wear them I can't see the rim at all either.
• Enlarging: 10/10
• They are very enlarging compared to the Geo Angel Blue lens even though they're a bit bigger. I don't think I'm ever going to go bigger than these lens.

*I was not paid to review these lens or the Geo Angel Blue lens.*

If you're wondering what I'm wearing:
Eyebrows: Naked Basics Palette
Eyes: Naked Basics Palette, Left eye I have Almay one coat three effects mascara, Right eye I have Maybelline Volume Express mascara
Lips: Tokidokie Gelato tinted lip balm
Highlight: High Beam by Benefit

Hope you found this useful! :)

*All of my reviews are my honest opinion.*
