Circle Lens review i.Fairy / Seeshell Crystal Blue and EOS Black GBK2

Maybe you remember, ages ago I got some new circle lenses and promised to review them~ so it's finally the time now~! xD 

Seeshell Pretty Crystal Blue also known as I.Fairy Super Crystal Blue 

Brand: Seeshell
Diameter: 15.0 mm
Water content: 42%
Base Curve: 8.6 mm
Life span: 1 year disposal 

natural lighting~ 

and with a different camera

web cam! 

Colour/ Design: 10/10 Tbh when I first ordered those I wasn't sure if I'd even like them, I needed some big, blue lenses for cosplay and I read good reviews regarding the colour~ however I usually go for lenses with a thick black ring for a more dolly effect so I was afraid they won't look the way I want. How wrong I was~ They are absolutely gorgeous! The colour is a perfect light blue (the photos show more than I could ever say), and the design blends beautifully with my natural eye colour. They always look amazing, and give ur eyes that bright and awake look~
Comfort: 10/10 Most comfortable lenses I own~ most of the time I dont even realize they are there! I had some problems putting them in at first cause they are very thin but very large, but practise makes perfect~ Wore them for many hours, including clubbing - no discomfort! 
Enlargement: 10/10 It's a 15mm so I think that speaks for itself~  they are almost bug eyed, but because they dont have the fake rim it actually looks much more natural and not as strange as my Bambi's can  sometimes be~ I can ever wear them without lashes or extreme make up, something I cant normally pull of with circle lenses. 
Overall: 10/10 My favourite lenses atm! I have a few pairs but I hardly wear anything else cause these are just so beautiful and soooo comfortable~ I get compliments on my huge, blue eyes every time now xD 

and extra, a random photo from my iphone~ the lighting is horrible, but u can still see that they are blue, also very dolly but natural~ 

EOS Black GBK2

/old/ blue hair! xD 

Brand: EOS
Diameter: 14.5 mm
Water content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6 mm
Life span: 1 year disposal

no make up! o__o 

size comparison~

and make up done~ 


Colour/ Design: 9/10 I wanted black circle lenses for ages~ mainly just to get a black rim around my eye that would give a very dolly look without changing my natural colour, must say those do a pretty good job. My only complain is that the border is very thick and doesnt blend that well, making it rather fake but it gives a superb dolly look, which I love~ 
Comfort: 8/10 They are very comfortable for most of the time, but they are much thicker than the i.fairy ones and after a few hours (6+) they can get quite dry, my eyes tend to get slightly irritated if I wear them for a very long period of time 
Enlargement: 8/10 They are 14.5 mm which is a bit smaller than the currently trending 15mm but I think with black lenses that would be way too much... they already look very big and alien like (looks super mad without make up xD) dont know how I would pull it of if the diameter was any bigger~
Overall: 8/10  I have received those as an extra pair with my pinky paradise order and was over the moon cause I rly wanted a pair of black lenses for ages but couldnt decide on a particular one~ they are very dolly and just the right size, but can be a bit drying and fake~ But I like them a lot and are my 2nd most worn pair atm ^__^ 

and recent iPhone photo~ 

that's it for today~
Hope you enjoyed~  (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ

Body Shop

So I went to town on thursday and decided to go into body shop since I wanted to get their new bronzer for a while~ and here it is~

it's from the Honey Bronze collection and I got in shade 02, fair matte
They only have 3 colours and all of them look quite light so I asked the lady working there which one should I get, and no.2 was the answer~ it blends super nice and is light, but I can barely see it, maybe 03 would be a better choice after all... want to try it out a bit more first thought~

they had a lot of different promotions on that day, once of which was "spend £19 and get a free gift worth £21" yeah I'm a sucker for such things and I lost right away xD to go up to 19 (the bronzer was £13) I got the  Vitamin E cream cleanser, I already had the mini size and I love it~ It cleans my face super well, leaving it soft, moisturised and smelling nice~ 

and here is my free gift~ mascara, black pencil liner and make-up remover
I tried their make-up remover before and hate it; works same as water + stings eyes horribly ><
but I wanted to try out a new mascara and a spare eyeliner is always good xD haven't tried them yet but my mum used the mascara and it was really nice~ we usually use the volumizing ones with huge, thick brushes, this one is very thin and long, therefore good for length. It gave her long and define lashes with good separation, but little volume, depends what look you like really~

And lastly there was 30% off on your purchase... if you have the body shop card, which I don't have. So I got it and the 30% covered it's cost xD
here it is~
it does cost £5, so it's best to get it when a sale is on, but it's really a great investment if you buy often at body shop! it gives you 10% off every time plus with each purchase they stamp it and you get free gifts! pretty cool~

on another make-up note~ Bubzbeauty finally released her brushes! They are available in her shop~
I really don't have any good brushes, most of the time I use my fingers + crappy ebay brushes, so I was extremely excited for this, they are supposed to be high quality but affordable prices~

I ordered the Basic Set
It includes a powder brush, multi retractable brush, dual cover brush, dual eyes brush and an angled liner.
I'm super excited to get them xD For some reason I was sure the set includes the HD flawless brush... but it doesn't >_< I might order it next time if I'm satisfied with those brushes~ 


Hope you enjoyed~ (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ

DECOLOG who's DOLLY Fake Eyelashes Review~

So as I wrote some time ago I ordered a pack of DECOLOG eyelashes, and I received them very recently! I couldn't find any reviews on them as I was considering my purchase, so here it is~ my opinion on them and tons of photos xD


Arrived in this super pretty package~
btw I got them from HERE, cost me about £14 including shipping from Singapore~ 

and the lashes in their full glory~
OMG so pretty! I was dying while opening them xD KYAA~ 

loooovely~ they are sooo long!
I always wear spiky lashes (since my obsession with Sakurina), and I think it just looks best~ 

and finally on~ they are super long but not too much~ it still looks natural (as much as fake lashes can be natural xD) and not too over the top (thought they do look a bit strange without circle lenses)

close up~ I had a bit of a struggle with placement at first, cause the lash band is muuuch longer than my regular lashes
(lenses: Barbie King Size Brown)

and me wearing them again a few days after~
(lol my hair looks like a fluff ball xD) 

close up~
(lenses: geo blue wing)

and just one eye~
top lashes only~ 

plus lower lashes~
(also review on the lower lashes at the bottom!) 

another close-up at a slightly different angle~ 
you can see how full they are~ 

And now I would like to compare them to my normal lashes~ since this is were the biggest difference between japanese and english lashes is~

Miss Eylyre Ava lashlets
This are the only lashes I wore for almost a year now~ (so you can see how they look on any of my previous photos) buuut...they are too short, my eyes are quite wide and getting them from one corner to the other is just impossible, plus as it can be seen they are spiky all the way, therefore it looks slightly unnatural on the inner corner (not to mention super hard to get to stick xD)

and here for comparison my new DECOLOG eyelashes and my old eylure lashes~
as you can see the difference in the lash band length is huuuuge
I dont like to glue my lashes outside of the eye (like many gyaru do), since my eyes are long enough and it just looks freaky xD hovever those fit perfectly, from on corner to the other, no more lashes starting mid way xD
also the DECOLOG lashes are only spiky on the outside giving a nice natural effect~

COMFORT: 8/10 like most eyelashes~ they are very comfortable and light, however since the band is so long I can sometimes feel them at the corners~ with all the eyelashes and lenses on my eyes do feel a bit heavier thought xD but that's normal~
STYLE: 10/10 imo its absolutely perfect, it's a great balance of everything I love in lashes, but this is very subjective, not everyone will like this style as much as I do~
VOLUME / LENGTH: 9/10 as you can see in the photos, they are suuuper long, of course there is a limit to how much volume spiky lashes can give, but it's quite packed and dramatic, the do look very weird without contacts xD 
APPLICATION: 8/10 they are super easy to apply! they have a clear band, which is very flexible and easy to adjust. my only problem is that due to the band length they are bent more around the whole eye and the corners tend to pop for me xD (but I'm usually useless with gluing my inner corners xD), but it is in fact much easier to stick on than my eylure lashes~
PRICE: 9/10 £14 for 5 pairs, that's less than £3 for a pair, amazing! I believe the price for the eylure lashes is £4.95 and this is something muuuuch better imo xD yeah I know you can get much cheaper lashes on ebay... but looking like this?
 DURABILITY: 9/10 I only wore them 2 times so can't be sure yet, but they seem very similar to the eylure lashes, I just pull the glue off and it's perfect (I use DUO dark tone, had problems in the past with other glues not coming off properly and ruining the lashes), I think they should last me quite a while~ but the usual death of my spiky lashes is distortion of the shape after a couple of uses if glue get's accidently stuck onto the hair~

All in all, I'd super recommend them~ I am totally in love and I will try to get my hands on more japanese eyelashes as they are sooo worth the price (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ  Never going back to my old english lashes~

And finally, extra a small review on the lower lashes that I'm also wearing in all photo's above
They are
Eylure Naturalites UNDERLASH no.41
Elish always wears those and they look amazing~ so I decided to finally have a go at bottom lashes and bought 2 packs (since it was buy one get 2nd half price xD) 

They are super long so I cut them in half and used the inner 5 spikes only, to go for a more natural look~ might try the whole band one day if I need more drama xD 
And I do like them a lot~
They really add what I was always missing in my eye make~ 

COMFORT: 9/10 super comfy! can't feel them at all they stay on perfectly (used the glue provided, since I don't own clear glue), since I glue them very close to my lash line they touch my top lashes and it can be a bit annoying when they stick together xD  
STYLE: 9/10 It's a bit hard to judge since I don't have much experience in lower lashes, but I do like the look a lot, and they are well visible but still natural (if that makes any sense xD) 
VOLUME / LENGTH: 5/10 if you use the whole lash they are super long, probably a bit too long for my liking xD  but with it cut, it's perfect~ can't really be talking about volume here, they are well separated as lower lashes should be imo xD 
APPLICATION: 10/10 they were super easy to apply, got it right at the first try~ since the chunk was small I didn't have to bend it or anything, just grabbed it with the tweezers and stuck both ends nicely~
PRICE: 6/10 they are quite pricey, £4.95 a pair is kinda pushing it for me~ but that's UK eyelash prices...
 DURABILITY: 10/10 they do seem very durable! wore them twice and it's perfect, I'm hoping they will stay with me for a long time before I need to grab the second pair~

(note all those are based on wearing only a piece of the lash, if you use the whole band it can be very different)  

really wanna try their lashes no.40
they remind me a lot of some Dolly Wink lashes, look like they could be easily worn with the whole band and look very natural~ 
...couldn't find in my local Boots thought ><

Well~ hope you enjoyed this post xD and see you soon~ (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ
