Because I love you a lot. Yes you, and you and even you! I love each and every single one of my readers.<br />
But do you know what would make me love you even more? By clicking the "Follow" button! :D<br />
<br />
Anyway, haha random opening but! I'm back again to do a circle lens review. Yes this is another sponsored post but I promise that all my reviews are 100% honest.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.uniqso.com/" target="_blank">www.uniqso.com</a> was kind enough to send me a pair of lenses so I choice the Dolly Eye Kira Kira Pink Lenses. The reason why I decided to go with pink instead of any other color was because pink lenses have always been some what of a mystery to me. I have never tried pink lenses and to be honest, I had always wanted to. Some friends loved it, some friends hated it so I finally decided to take the plunge and try it out for myself.<br />
<br />
So, let's get started on the packaging of the lenses!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The lenses came packed in the standard bubble envelope and having come all the way from Malaysia, the envelope was sealed very very nicely. I was also required to sign for the package as well, which is fantastic! I've never had to sign for a package this small before!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Inside the package was this! A lens case and a box. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And inside the box, my lenses! Wrapped in bubble wrap</div>

By the way, can I just say that the box is ADORABLE?! I couldn't get over how cute it is and it has their website link on it too!<br />

Here are the lenses and you can see the lens design slightly there. These lenses do come in prescription!</div>

I just also wanted to make a note about the indent mark that all lenses have. As you can see, this indent is a lot different than the ones on the GEO lens vials. The ones on the GEO lens vial can be seen in my post on how to open vials <a href="http://twinklebeautyy.blogspot.ca/2012/03/how-to-open-circle-lens-vials.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
All in all their customer service is phenomenal. The staff were nice and so friendly and having only had contact via email, that says a lot. The shipping time was fast and most importantly, their lenses are in stock lenses. This really cuts down on the waiting time so if you're in a rush, this store is great for you.<br />
<br />
Okay, on to the lenses!<br />
<br />
Let me first give some information on the lenses<br />
<br />
Diameter: 14.5 mm<br />
Base Curve: 8.6 mm<br />
Water content: 38%<br />
<br />
The lenses themselves are absolutely beautiful. I was a little nervous because although I wanted the pink color to be prominent, I didn't want it to be overpowering. The color definitely blends really well into my eyes.<br />
<br />
The lenses are very very comfortable and the enlargement is amazing! I have worn them for such a long time, it's ridiculous!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I highly recommend these lenses so if you're interested in purchasing, please visit <a href="http://www.uniqso.com/" target="_blank">www.uniqso.com</a>!<br />

It`s no secret that Park Bom is one of my all time K-pop idols. She is absolutely beautiful and her legs are seriously GORGEOUS!<br />
<br />
Today's Eye of the day (EOTD) is inspired by Park Bom's makeup in the Ugly music video! It's a little dramatic and definitely out of my comfort zone. If you know me, I absolutely LOVE my neutrals. Going through my make up collection, you'd see all neutral palettes, ie. Naked 2 and Too Faced Neutral Eye Palette! So to find an eye shadow like infamous MAC's Electric Eel, one must think I was absolutely crazy when I went to buy it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, this look incorporates the one eye shadow that I never touch and an eye shadow that is so difficult to use. 2 birds 1 stone? Woohoo!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gLmqTBN4Sfs/T390qeDu6yI/AAAAAAAAAY0/uBfkbCeFxGY/s1600/kao_lol.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gLmqTBN4Sfs/T390qeDu6yI/AAAAAAAAAY0/uBfkbCeFxGY/s1600/kao_lol.gif" /></a></div>
I'm on a blogging spree. Seriously. Even <b>I'm</b> impressed. It's currently 1:05 AM and my sleep schedule has been a little skewed thanks to the naps that I've been taking during the day and blogging has seriously been the best way to spend my time. Since no one's really awake at this time and the boyfriend is already sleeping, this blog will take away all my boredom and I'll get more posts up for you guys! Win win situation automatically.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aaEEQrRBLgU/T3atdMIDU-I/AAAAAAAAAWc/EIPE8i5buvQ/s1600/yes.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aaEEQrRBLgU/T3atdMIDU-I/AAAAAAAAAWc/EIPE8i5buvQ/s1600/yes.gif" /></a>ANYWAY, I'm digressing. I decided to do a post on how to get lenses out of vials. I know some people might think that it seems a little.. self explanatory or something really basic but hey, you never know. These are just my techniques and so the post will be short but hopefully nothing short of informative?<br />
<br />
Before even getting the lenses out though, you might need to know how to open then lenses themselves. I've actually written a post on this, which can be found <a href="http://twinklebeautyy.blogspot.ca/2012/03/how-to-open-circle-lens-vials.html" target="_blank">here</a>! If you haven't opened your lenses yet then, you will probably want to do that first so GO! And then come back! :D I'll wait.<br />
<br />
- tick tock -<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-k5WVRmYNsxQ/T3at8n9q00I/AAAAAAAAAWk/3OPZWvK-NRE/s1600/kao_cheering.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-k5WVRmYNsxQ/T3at8n9q00I/AAAAAAAAAWk/3OPZWvK-NRE/s1600/kao_cheering.gif" /></a></div>
You're back! Which means that you've gotten your lenses open. Woohoo! Now it's time to get started on getting your lenses out.<br />
<br />
What I like to do is basically flip the lens over in the palm of my hand and wait for the lens to float down to the bottom. Then you want to lift up the vial and release the lens!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also can't stress enough how you want to do this over a sink with CLEAN HANDS. You don't want to dirty your lenses before you have even started wearing them, right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tada, the lenses are out! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So now that they're out, time to pop them into your eyes and see how awesome they look, right? NO!! STOP RIGHT THERE!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iPeLWSmqmFM/T3avkI5rg0I/AAAAAAAAAXE/dtVeZECrATk/s1600/shocked.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iPeLWSmqmFM/T3avkI5rg0I/AAAAAAAAAXE/dtVeZECrATk/s1600/shocked.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What a lot of people don't know is that the solution in the vials has higher salinity so that the lenses in the vial can have a shelf life of 3 years. This will make your eyes sting if you try to pop them in your eyes and if your eyes are sensitive, they will feel extremely painful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What you want to do is let them soak in regular contact lens solution overnight, for a minimum of 8 hours.</div>

I was requested to post up some comparison photos of GEO Nudy Gray lenses vs. the GEO Olive (Ash Wing) Lenses that I had reviewed earlier. If you'd like to see them, click <a href="http://twinklebeautyy.blogspot.ca/2012/03/lens-review-geo-ol-105-ash-wing-lenses.html?showComment=1332859750679#c7442522895732463143" target="_blank">here</a>! I was going to do this a lot earlier but I thought I had lost my Nudy grays! Turns out they were under my bed.. =_____=<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, this is going to be a quick informal sort of comparison and reviews for the Nudy Gray lenses will be posted shortly.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
GEO Nudy Gray</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see, the Nudy lenses have more of a grainy texture and the little specs are somewhat noticeable</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
GEO OL-105 (Ash Wing) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lenses have more of an opaque color and a solid dark ring around the perimeter of the lens itself</div>

Hi guys!<br />
<br />
I think I'm on a roll in terms of blog posts currently (yay!) and I'm going to be answering a lot of questions that beginners or people in general might have about circle lenses! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me!<br />
<br />
As you can see from the title, this post is going to be on how to open circle lenses. I'll be showing how to open GEO Super Size Angel Brown lenses, which I've done a review on. You can click on the link <a href="http://twinklebeautyy.blogspot.ca/2012/03/lenscirclecom-review-part-2-geo-super.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
As a disclaimer, this post might be a little picture heavy because instead of using text to describe them and limited pictures, I will be using more pictures instead of text. Hope that's alright!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-irtIIyzmA3k/T3alLOmbhBI/AAAAAAAAATM/TwvqjjYnqwY/s1600/kao_big_grin.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-irtIIyzmA3k/T3alLOmbhBI/AAAAAAAAATM/TwvqjjYnqwY/s1600/kao_big_grin.gif" /></a></div>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-irtIIyzmA3k/T3alLOmbhBI/AAAAAAAAATM/TwvqjjYnqwY/s1600/kao_big_grin.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><strike style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></strike></a>Let's get started!<br />
<br />
The first thing you want to do is look for a mark like this. Other brands will have different markings but there will be an indent of some sort quite similar to this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IjgHv7PFlec/T3altHE5KdI/AAAAAAAAATU/Ar0mzira6-w/s1600/SANY0030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IjgHv7PFlec/T3altHE5KdI/AAAAAAAAATU/Ar0mzira6-w/s320/SANY0030.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Then, from above the mark, you're going to want to pull the cap upwards to start opening the vial. If done right, it should look like this<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C6fp_VP7f_s/T3amM2co2CI/AAAAAAAAATk/wjRnNQ2ETb4/s1600/SANY0032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C6fp_VP7f_s/T3amM2co2CI/AAAAAAAAATk/wjRnNQ2ETb4/s320/SANY0032.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
And from an aerial view<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EhO5BRPcXLg/T3amcKaMwYI/AAAAAAAAATs/-udemcBwAOA/s1600/SANY0033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EhO5BRPcXLg/T3amcKaMwYI/AAAAAAAAATs/-udemcBwAOA/s320/SANY0033.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
After that, you're going to want to pull the cap back until the cap basically lies flat<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8Wc3piq9kcs/T3ampOXqQxI/AAAAAAAAAT0/EMyyFYUYYfA/s1600/SANY0034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8Wc3piq9kcs/T3ampOXqQxI/AAAAAAAAAT0/EMyyFYUYYfA/s320/SANY0034.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again, another photo just for a better view!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Almost there! Next, you're going to want to snap off the cap. If possible you'd want to snap off only one side and then continue on to removing the aluminium ring, but I missed up a little </div>

See, I got the first corner off, and then it fell off.. LOL<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
But that's okay, right? We can do this!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pat5NYieZYw/T3arsAPYoSI/AAAAAAAAAWU/cdjMor9kdyA/s1600/lol.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pat5NYieZYw/T3arsAPYoSI/AAAAAAAAAWU/cdjMor9kdyA/s1600/lol.gif" /></a></div>
Now you want to pull on the aluminium ring to begin to unravel the aluminium. Be careful not to cut yourself here. The aluminium is slightly sharp and although I've never cut myself, I definitely have heard of people who have.<br />
<br />
This is what it'll look like and it will come off in two sections<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rQ7FnQ4oANs/T3an897GboI/AAAAAAAAAU0/f4inbeKKwGI/s1600/SANY0040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rQ7FnQ4oANs/T3an897GboI/AAAAAAAAAU0/f4inbeKKwGI/s320/SANY0040.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now it's the final stretch! All you have to do is lift off the rubber stopper and VOILA! Your lenses are free!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Hey everyone!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I wanted to do a brand spotlight on Essence Cosmetics! I've done Brand Spotlights in the past where I've talked about Circle lens companies, but I thought it'd be great to incorporate some posts about various makeup brands as well. So, let's get started!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Essence Cosmetics is a brand that is fairly new to me. It was recently brought to Canada and is exclusive to Shoppers Drug Mart but I believe it's been available in the United States through Target for a while now. The brand is not expensive at all, especially for a drugstore brand and delivers a variety of products ranging from eyeshadows to mascara to blush and false eyelashes. I personally haven't tried many of the products, minus the Stay With Me Longlasting Lipglosses. If you're interested, you can click <a href="http://twinklebeautyy.blogspot.ca/2012/03/first-impression-essence-cosmetics-stay.html">here</a> to see my first impressions on the product.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Essence Cosmetics is European company which launched in 2002. For such inexpensive products, all their products are made in Poland, versus the usual Made In China, which is awesome! They also do not test on animals as well! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All in all, Essence Cosmetics is an awesome brand and I think it has lots of potential. I can't wait to try more products. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
PS! The above picture is the display in the US but in Canada, we don't have that wide of a variety. I think we have half of what's pictured!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hi there! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm back again to do part 2 of my review on the lenses that I received from www.lenscircle.com. For this review, I decided to choose the GEO Super Size Angel Brown lenses and I've had my eyes set on these for a while now. I've always loved the GEO Angel series and they were the first series I've ever tried in terms of circle lenses. This is also the first time I'm trying lenses from the "Super Size" series that GEO has recently come out with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To start off, I'll give you some info on the lenses themselves:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Diameter: 14.8mm </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Water Content: 38%</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Base Curve: 8.6</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been wearing theses lenses for a few days now and they are amazing. They make my eyes look dolly without looking scary and despite being so large, they are great for every day use. They are a little bit bigger than the standard circle lens (14mm) but the comfort level is still the exact same. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Generally speaking, I tend to have the standard 8 hours of wear with GEO lenses and they aren't the most comfortable lenses I've ever worn but I think that these are pretty much everything I expected from the lenses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Overall recap !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Design: <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Personally I love the design of Angel lenses so naturally I would love the design of the Super Size ones as well. If you haven't been a fan of Angel lenses, I'm not so sure you'd be a fan of these lenses.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Comfort: <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Theses lenses are nothing short of comfortable and I have quite normal eyes in the sense that I don't seem to experience too much discomfort and I don't have extremely sensitive eyes either. For others it might be a little bit too uncomfortable but I can't guarantee. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Enlargement: <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;">★</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 39px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Definitely enlarges but isn't the largest lenses that you can find on the market. I guess enlargement is subjective so it really all depends on what you're looking for!</span></span><br />

<br />
Recently I received a pair of circle lenses from lenscircle.com. I was so excited to receive the lenses that the post was going to be a little picture heavy so I decided to split it up into two parts. I'll be talking about their packaging and service here and then I'll be uploading the review on the lenses that I chose right after<br />
<br />
First off, even before I had been sent the lenses to review, lenscircle.com was amazing. Their replies were quick and the process could not have been better. Within a day of choosing the lenses, I got a tracking number for my package and within 5 business days, it arrived at my door. The service was phenomenal and I could not have been happier. I believe their lenses are all in stock, and despite me having a prescription, there was no wait time. Since I've only ordered with people who did batch orders, I was extremely surprised to see the lenses sent out so quickly!This is amazing for people who don't want to have to wait an overly long time for lenses.<br />
<br />
I first received the package in the mail and the lenses were packaged in a nice bubble wrap envelope. I was surprised they used such a big envelope for such a tiny package!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Opening it up I saw this adorable leopard print pouch<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Opening that up, I saw the lenses (woohoo)! And they're wrapped in more bubble wrap! Definitely a bonus in my opinion.</div>
<br />

Here's the inside of the package and it has the lenses, lens case, and lens care instructions. There's also the instruction sheet that comes with all GEO circle lenses. The contents of the package are amazing.<br />

Overall, I think that lenscircle.com is an amazing site. There's no wait time and the process of ordering, getting the order and all that was so quick that I was pleasantly surprised. I definitely think that if you want lenses quick, lenscircle.com is a great website for you and I highly highly recommend them!</div>

<br />
I'm back again to do a review on some circle lenses! I haven't done a post/review on circle lenses in a while so I thought I'd share with you guys my thoughts on the GEO Olive lenses in gray. If any of you have seen this lens before, that's because it used to be called the Ash Wing lenses until GEO Medical decided to rename them and add three more colors to the series. Personally, I much preferred the name Ash Wing as Olive lenses just sounds.. not as beautiful! But that's just my opinion!<br />
<br />
Anyway, the lenses come in the glass jars, which are the same as all the other GEO lenses. The lenses have:<br />
- Diameter of 14.00mm, which is the standard for regular circle lenses<br />
- Base Curve of 8.6<br />
- Water Content of 38-42%<br />
<br />
These lenses I find to be quite comfortable. This definitely isn`t my first time wearing circle lenses and they manage to last me a good 8 hours, which is the recommended wear time that GEO Medical advises all people to wear them for. I can usually get to the 8 hour mark without having to use eye drops just yet. In terms of comfort, they score pretty high in my books.<br />
<br />
The next is the color. The color itself is quite nice and looks quite natural without looking overly dolly. At first, I was scared that it would look too gray and make my eyes look odd but surprisingly they blended with my eye color quite nicely.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos I took with artificial lighting and with flash!<br />

Please ignore the brows.. LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see, in the natural light, the color looks quite nice and not too grey. If you're looking for some lenses that won't give you as much of a dolly effect as black lenses seem to but you don't want to go to bright, gray lenses are definitely the perfect match for you! I absolutely adore these and these have become one of the lenses that I'm comfortable wearing to school/for every day purposes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, I think these lenses are very very nice. They're also quite popular as well so if you're looking for some safe first time lenses, these are going to be great!</div>

<br />
I'm back again and I finally picked up a new laptop! Woohoo! This means there will definitely be no excuses when it comes to writing more posts! Today I'm back again to show you guys my first impressions on a few lipglosses from Essence Cosmetics. Essence Cosmetics is quite new to me and these glosses are the first products I've ever tried from this company. I believe it recently came to Canada and is now exclusively available at all Shoppers Drug Marts, however, I'm pretty sure it has been available in the United States for some time now and was exclusive to Target. I haven't seen many reviews of this particular product online so I decided to give my two cents on the lipglosses. I picked up the Stay With Me Longlasting Lipglosses and they were fairly inexpensive, retailing at $2.99 CAD. I picked up three shades: #1 - Me&My Icecream, #2- My Favorite Milkshake and #7 - Kiss Kiss Kiss.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z325/oliviachann/806f28ec.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z325/oliviachann/806f28ec.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kiss Kiss Kiss, Me&My Icecream, My Favorite Milkshake</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I haven't been able to give all three colors a good test run yet but I have been able to wear Kiss Kiss Kiss out and it's quite a nice color. It's a standard red and the gloss itself is definitely not sticky. It's a very low maintenance red so if you are the type of person to not want to have to care too much about your red lips bleeding etc, then this is probably the product for you! It has an interesting shaped applicator and is different from the standard doe foot applicator. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z325/oliviachann/8fae5741.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z325/oliviachann/8fae5741.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The applicator seems to curve sort of like an hourglass shape. The only downside that I have noticed so far is that the product seems to bunch up in the middle, making it little bit awkward to apply the gloss to the upper lip. Application on the lower lip, though, is a breeze! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I guess now is the time we talk a little bit about the cons, and thankfully, there aren't too many! I guess the only thing I really don't like, and it's a minor detail, is that the color name is not on the packaging itself. Instead, it's on the little white sticker/barcode, which I almost threw away before realizing that if I didn't keep it, I wouldn't know what color I was putting on my lips! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z325/oliviachann/ffd49e83.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z325/oliviachann/ffd49e83.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next thing would be that it's not quite longlasting. I think it's not a bad gloss and for $2.99 it's actually quite a good product but the longlasting claim doesn't quite hold up. But hey, for $2.99, what more could I ask for? I should probably say though, I have a bad time with lip products in general just because I have a habit of licking my lips. For this gloss though, I resisted the urge to lick my lips just to test out the wear and they lasted me until I started to eat!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all though, I really do enjoy these lipglosses and although they aren't the longest wearing lipglosses out there, they're not bad! They're actually one of the few lipglosses that I love playing with!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Before I finish off the post, I'll leave with a few swatches on the back of my hand and on some white paper.</div>

<br />
<br />
Before I start on this post, I want to let you know that I'm going to be moving some posts from an old blog to here! I'm not stealing from another blog, I swear! So with that said, ignore the watermark and enjoy the review!<br />
<br />

Today I'm reviewing the MAC Matte silicone based primer. I was in the market for a new primer since I had recently just ran out so I ran out to MAC and picked up the MAC Matte primer. I had heard so many good things about it on oily skinned people and since I have normal skin, with minimal oil, I thought it'd be even better for me!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8094598918222578721&postID=5858401707833252192&from=pencil" name="more"></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So far, I've been using it for quite some time.. I want to say 6 months and I absolutely adore the primer. It applies so smoothly and it makes my skin feel amazing! I have to say though, it does remind me of any standard silicone based primer. I find that it does make my makeup last quite long without rubbing off. I use it almost every morning and I still have so much ! I understand what a little goes a long way means now! :D<br />

</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall I really love it! I highly highly recommend it to people with normal skin and people with oily skin too! Not sure how it'll work for people with dry skin though! Is it HG (holy grail) potential? Maybe, but it doesn't wow me that much! </div>

<br />
It's so ironic that once I announce my new found dedication to this blog that my computer decides to die on me. I haven't had it for long either and that's what really makes me sad. The repairs aren't covered by the warranty either so it would cost me $450 to repair. No repairs for me I guess! :(<br />
<br />
Anyway, to keep my mind off of that and to let you know I'm still alive, here's a face of the day!<br />

<br />
As you can probably tell, I seem to have abandoned this blog of mine. I seem to somehow lack dedication but not anymore! My goal now is to get my act together and post more and get some giveaways going! I hope to really change around the blog and I want to still talk about circle lenses etc and get into the realm of make up and dip into a bit of my personal life as well. I tried dabbling around with new blogs etc but I've ultimately decide to stick with this one !<br />
<br />
I just want to point out a few minor changes!<br />
<br />
I've changed my email to twinklebeautyy@gmail.com and I get updates on my phone so feel free to drop me an email! I've already gotten emails about the authenticity of lenses, so keep them coming! I'll gladly help with that! Just send me a few pics of the lenses and I'll get back to you ASAP.<br />
<br />
I assure you, I am determined to see this through!<br />
<br />
To my loyal followers, THANK YOU! You guys are my motivation to keep this blog up and running. <br />
<br />
Please look forward to many upcoming posts! I appreciate every single one of you!<br />
<br />
PS, sorry for the long post guys! Here are some cute pics to make up for it :P<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Hey everyone ! </div>
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
So I know I just did a post on my EOS lenses but I also got a few pair of GEO lenses as well ! I'm really really liking them but the comfort is definitely not the same nor is it as hiigh !<br />
Anyway, I got a few pairs but I've only opened one so far.. self control ! I definitely can't have so many lenses open at the same time, nor do I have enough cases but considering the fact that they last 3 years in the bottle.. I'll keep them in there for a bit longer c:</div>
<div>
I opened the honey wing lenses and have worn them.. around 2 times! So far I like them and I've gotten a few compliments on them as well. I think they're quite natural and look very very nice as well. Here's a picture on a model for you: <img alt="" border="0" src="http://redfly86.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/geo-honey-wing-lensbrown.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 333px;" /></div>
<br />
I keep posting pictures of them on models because I haven;t had time to sit down and upload the photos that I took or even take photos of my eyes for that matter.. But I promise you I'll do that soon c: or I'll try to ! Hehee<br />
So here's a mini review for you * I'm not too great at making reviews, I KNOW!<br />
Comfort : 9 /10<br />
I like theses lenses but I can feel them at times and I can't keep them on for as long as I can keep EOS lenses on. I know that I've kept EOS lenses on for 12 hours + but I can start to feel slight dryness after myabe 7 hours?<br />
Design: 9 / 10<br />
I really like these lenses but they look a bit pixely.. Maybe it's just me that kind of minds but I'm not really sure if I like that.. They aren't TOO noticeable when they're on the eye but when they're in the case, they're quite pixely<br />
Enlargement 7/10<br />
I don't think these lenses are good for enlargement. Maybe it's because my eyes aren't small? But they don't have a very defined outter ring so the enlargement isn't as big but there definitely is some there c:<br />
Overall 8/10<br />
I think these lenses are very nice and perfect for people who want natural lenses or those who want to try circle lenses for the first time. They don't have super dolly eye enlargement which is great for people who don't want that for their first pair and want to simply just try it out!<br />
<br />
I hope you guys enjoyed that little mini review ! I really do like these lenses despite the comfort being not so high c: I'll be posting more and maybe even some pictures of me wearing the lenses !<br />

<br /><div></div><div>Long time no blog post, yeah? The olympics were here and it was just too awesome c: I was so excited because they were in my own city for once! But now that they're over I really really miss the crowds and all the nice people that came to this city!</div><div></div><div>Anyhow, I got a few EOS lenses and so far, I LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVEE them ! They feel like I'm wearing no lenses at all, which can be good or bad : D But a million thumbs up for EOS lenses. Compared to my GEO lenses, these are by far much more comfy</div><div></div><div></div><div>So I have.. 3 pairs !</div>
<br /><div></div><div>I have pure brown :<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 350px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 420px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w9/demoipourvous/EOS/V-201BROWN.jpg" /></div></div></div>

<br /><p>Individual reviews for these will come shortly but so far, I really like the pure lenses. I'm actually wearing them right now, as im typing this post and I put them in.. at around 9 ish this mroning.. so 12 hours ! And they feel GREAT c: no dryness whatsoever.. And I know its bad to put on lenses for this long, but mm, I didn't get a chance to go home but I didn't have to use eyedrops and my eyes feel no irritation whatsoever.

I love them so far though because they are SUPER comfortable.<br /><br />Anyhow, I left for a while because I was a little disappointed.. As you all know, there were two winners drawn for the first giveaway. The first girl didn't respond so I drew a second name. Well, guess what? Neither of them responded me! I didn't get why no one wanted their lenses! I had the lenses too ! But no one wanted them.. ): Should I do another draw for the first "give away"?<br /><br />ALSO : check out www.youtube.com/glimmerrush96 !

I know I myself would never be able to pull off lenses like these without looking overly fake but they look very very nice on these models. I also have a customer who ordered them so I'll see if I can get her to take a picture so we can all see what they look like on a normal person (':<br /><p> </p><p>- olivia</p><p>twinklebeautyy</p>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00672517486140879602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094598918222578721.post-88244441245050798602010-02-01T23:30:00.000-08:002010-02-01T23:33:45.575-08:00Happy February!Hey everyone!<br /><br />So, the blog is slowly but surely expanding.

I'm quite impressed : D<br />A reminder that the contest is still going on so be sure to tell your friends about the site if they want to learn more about circle lenses & request different topics as well! It'd be great to know what you guys want me to write about, what you'd like me to touch on, and other topics as well. It doesn't have to be about circle lenses, it can be about almost anything you wish, and I'll try my best to answer them!<br /><br />Remember to invite & follow !<br /><br />- olivia<br />twinklebeautyyOliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00672517486140879602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094598918222578721.post-7167260424688213332010-01-30T17:53:00.000-08:002010-01-30T18:06:59.140-08:00Olive Lenses??Heey,<br /><br />So today I went to the GEO website to check if there were any updates and I saaw something new !

This time, we're going to be reviewing DueBa Lenses, a popular brand out in the market. These lenses have a diameter of 14.0 mm and a base curve of 8.6. The website, however, does not tell much about the company itself or even how they color the lenses. It does say that the lenses are made from materials that are approved by the FDA ( Food and Drug Administration). This blog is somewhat short because I SHOULD be doing homework but I simply couldn't resist not posting. Anyhow, for a bit more information, or for a look at what lenses they have, visit www.duebacon.com !<br /><br />** Anyone living in Richmond / Vancouver wanting to get DueBa lenses?<br />I have two pairs - one DM23 Gray in -1.75/-5.00 and one DM21 Gray in -1.50/-2.00<br />Message me if you'd like to see them / pictures and I can give you a good price !<br /><br />- olivia<br />twinklebeautyyOliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00672517486140879602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094598918222578721.post-40708129280385099002010-01-24T10:08:00.000-08:002010-01-24T21:37:01.030-08:00Spotlight: Bescon Lenses<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.bailieye.com/pic/093122626.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 270px;" src="http://www.bailieye.com/pic/093122626.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Hiii ! (':<br /><br />I'm going to introduce to you all a new brand today. This is Bescon, and I'm sure many of you have seen these lenses before.

This , of course, IS achievable with or without the use of circle lenses. I have a few tips for you as to what you might want to try with or without the circle lenses ! Keep in mind that what works for some, may not work for others (:<br /><br />Lets get started !<br /><br />1. Use white eyeliner to line your inner lower waterline and the inner corner of your eye<br />2. Use a dark eyeliner on the top lid and line close to your lash line. Line ONLY the outer half<br />* if you want to apply dark eyeliner on the lower lid, apply only about halfway to 3/4 of the way in<br />3. Highlight the brow bone and the inner corners with a shimmery light shadow<br />4. Use a light colored eyeshadow in the crease<br />5. <span class="art"><span class="art-block1">Give your eyebrows a slightly arched shape to maximize the space between the eye and the brow. Well defined eyebrows will give the appearance of a bigger space between the brow and the eye so keep them well maintained!<br />6. Make sure to curl your lashes before applying mascara * you can of course curl them after, as long as they are already dry<br />7. Apply mascara to the top and bottom lashes. Be sure to use a zig zag motion to ensure that there is no clumping<br />8. Apply false lashes. They give a very nice, soft feminine touch and some look quite natural when placed properly. They also open up the eyes and are very very useful if you have short lashes * like many Asians (:<br /><br />Used in conjunction with your circle lenses will maximize the effect but these tips can obviously be used on their own without circle lenses! Be sure that you put in your lenses BEFORE you start doing your makeup because your hand might pick up some of the make up and it might not wash off with water alone, causing the bacteria and makeup to transfer onto your lenses.<br /><br />- olivia<br />twinklebeautyy<br /></span></span>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00672517486140879602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094598918222578721.post-77370617978749782902010-01-23T23:48:00.000-08:002010-01-24T00:03:24.843-08:00Q&A : Circle lensesHey everyone !<br /><br />So I'm back with another blog post about Circle lenses and some commonly asked questions!<br /><br />1. Are circle lenses safe?<br /> <p>All contact lens (soft/hard/colored/circle/regular/prescription/nonprescription) are potentially damaging.Circle lenses are particularly seen as unsafe because they are said to be larger in diameter then normal lenses. This allows LESS oxygen to enter your eyes, often drying natural moisture out and putting a strain on them. They also contain color pigment which can cloud vision when the contacts shift.But the “largeness” of the lenses are relative. If you wear contacts already, check the information on your own lenses to determine if the circle lenses you want are the proper fit for you.</p><p>2. Can the lenses be prescribed?<br /></p> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">Yes, they c</span>an. They are the same as regular contact lens. If you have 20/20 vision, you can buy non-prescript/plano/0.00 lenses.</p><p>3. Can people with astigmatism wear circle lenses?<br /></p><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><p>This depends on the brand and seller. For example, G&G DOES make Circle Lenses for astigmatism, BUT these are not the same as their Circle Lenses or Cosmetic Circle Lenses. Research the brand to find out the best choice so you don’t order the wrong kind.</p><p>4. How do I take care of my circle lenses?<br /></p> <p>You take care of them like any other contact lenses. You should only wear them up to 6 hours at a time and always keep them in a contact lens case with solution when you aren’t wearing them. It’s very important to put your contact on and take them off with CLEAN HANDS! If your hands are dirty, you can get debris or harmful substances in your eyes which can lead to irritation and even blindness! Wash your hands before putting them in/taking them out and make sure to rub your fingers with contact solution after washing your hands.Clean your lenses before and after you wear them. To clean your lenses, with clean hands, pour some solution onto the lens and rub between your thumb and other finger. When storing, always replace the solution and clean the case so your lenses can soak in fresh, clean solution. NEVER just "top off" which means to add a bit of solution to the "old" solution</p><p>5. What do I do if I feel irritation when I have my circle lenses in?<br /></p><p>TAKE THEM OUT.<br />Are they clean? Did you put them in on the right side? If your lenses are causing discomfort, do not wear them! Remember, they are cosmetic, just like eyeliner or foundation. If your foundation was giving you a rash, you shouldn’t wear it anymore.</p><p>6. Should I put my lenses on before or after makeup?<br /></p><p>It is highly recommend that you should put your lenses on before putting on your makeup. You fingers can easily catch makeup residue and washing them doesn’t always get it off. </p><p>Hope this helps some people out ! I'll be posting more soon !</p><p>- olivia</p><p>twinklebeautyy<br /></p>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00672517486140879602noreply@blogger.com0
