Circle Lenses from Shara~

Baaah. They came on Tuesday; I'm so late. Haha. :)

Anyway, I'm guessing they had been postmarked on the previous Thursday, which only took 5 days to get to me from the UK! =D

Don't you just love my pink bows?
They were packed very well.

So cute !!
Layers of bubble wrap + free cases = love
Lenses!!
King brown, candy doll brown, wbk1, and max pure pink.
This isn't a review for the lenses-since I'll review them each individually-but on Shara's preorder service.

Now, looking back on everything concerning the preorder -PP confirmation, email updates, ect- it took a total of 28 days for me to receive my lenses. I'm very unhappy about that, but it was beyond the seller's control.

Communication: 5/5~

She kept everyone in the loop, telling us everything via email as soon as it happened. She told us of all the delays and anything else that concerned the preorder. I'm very happy with how she handled everything. :D

Shipping: 5/5!

WTF it only took five days from the UK!! Extremely impressed!

Cost: 5/5.

Gotta love preorder discounts. Cost me $54 including shipping, which is really cheap considering eos lenses are sold at about $20 a pair.

Overall, I give Shara a 4.9, and ONLY because I hated waiting so long, even though it wasn't her fault. :( Also, this was my first preorder, so I was a bit impatient.

I recommend Shara to anyone who wants EOS lenses, but who are also willing to wait. :)

Circle Lens Cleaning Day!

As a circle lens owner, I know it's very important to take good care of your lenses to prevent any damage to your eyes. This goes for ALL contact lenses and not just circle lenses. Ignore what the media says, do your research, and ask about circle lenses from people who actually WEAR them.

So. Every month, I take the initiative to clean all my contact lenses cases and give my circle lenses a good wash.

Circle lens a go-go.
1. Froggi Auto Contact lens cleaner.
2. Opti Replenish Contact lens cleaner
3. "Dirty" contact lens cases.
4. LOL, Circle lens party. :'D

This probably isn't sanitary, but they're about to be cleaned anyway.
Nudy brown, Honey Wing, MI Mint, and MI Wine red all in one place. :P

So~ I didn't take many pictures, because it's all pretty self-explanatory.

Hehe, pink frogs~
First, I soaked the cases in hot water and swished them around a bit. Using a bit of dawn soap and a towel, I scrubbed the inside and lids of the cases. I then again soaked them in hot water to remove them of all soap, shook off the access water and let them air dry.

After then were dry, I put fresh lens solution in all the cases and put the lenses in their respective cases. (Nudys in Wings in the frog cases, and MIs in the pink and white ones)

Then I put each pair on the washing machine for about 3 minutes each. I didn't take a picture of this, but I should have. It's nothing special, though. xD

If you're curios about the Froggi Auto lens washing machine, I got it from The Pink Shoppe, but you can get it from Pinky Paradise too. Both are based in Malaysia, so unless you drop $30 for shipping (like I did), it's not going to get to you quick.

I can't wait for my lenses from Shara. :)

MI Mint & Wine Red review

Yay, finally. Ask no questions as to why this took so long, I don't even know.

Eh-hem. I purchased theses from Kiwiberry a long while ago. I didn't order through her site, because I'm special and never follow procedure anyway, but there's a 100% I'll buy from her again, so I'll review that later. xD

Pretty Pink bows to protect both parties involved.~
And ignore that green fluff that made it's way into each picture. D<

SO, great packing, as far as my past experiences. When I ordered from My Candy Eyes (but never will again) they were thrown into an envelope that had bubble wrap lining and in a little bubble wrap baggie, but nothing else to protect them from clinking together. =[


These pictures vary in age, I took these the day I got them, when I had my really cute nails. And when I used a more annoying watermark...


Wine Red:

Color: I love the color, it's very alluring and mysterious. Not "WTF she has red eyes o_o" but more of "Ooh, she has red eyes!" The eyehole blend very well into my brown eyes, in both natural and artificial light.

Design: I love how the outer ring is a darker color than the iris color and not just a blunt black like most circle lenses. The color looks more believable that way. xD

Comfort: Better than my Nudys, but at times get really irritating, but a drop or two of saline or eyedrops and it's all good.

Worn:

Extremely tired in this picture.
Ack, I was horribly breaking out.
Stupid pimples!

Mint:

Color: A very pretty and natural two-tone green color. When I wore these, my mom actually didn't notice until I showered her under a lamp. xDD Guess they look that natural.

Design: The eyehole is veeeerry blunt and a bit freaky in natural light. The actually look better in artificial light, which is new to me.

Comfort: Hm, same as above.

Worn:

Sad. I lost those pearl earrings...

Wtf angle. xD!

Kiwiberry, as a service:

Communication: We had a little misunderstanding about the price, but it was quickly sorted out. xD Very sweet and friendly. I often buy stupid stuff from people just because they're so sweet. x___x

Shipping: It was shipped the very next day, on a Monday I believe, and I got it Saturday from CANADA. Suuuper quick!

Cost: Hehe, she gave a small group of us a great deal on these lenses. I only paid $24 with shipping for both lenses.

I would 100% buy from Kiwi again. She is always having some sort of sale or promotion or contest or SOMETHING! She's very approachable and always has pictures of the lenses she sells. I personally can't buy a pair of lenses without seeing them worn. Plus she stocks rarer brands or lenses, like the MI brand.

That's all for today!
