『Review』Dolly Eye (EOS) - Blytheye Brown Circle Lenses

Coming in with a super overdue post!


I won these babies in the December of last year from Misa's Uniqso giveaway! Some of you guys might remember it, but it was sure a long time ago. LOL
ANYWAYS.
I've been meaning to review these for such a long time! Really, I had pictures taken and everything, but it just kinda slipped my mind. :c
If you look closely at my Katsucon post pictures, you should be able to see them! I wore them for two long days. HAHA (Had some serious pains in my eyes afterwards. Don't follow my example.)

I got these in the mail in an adorable little box! It came with a free case too. 8D


The lenses were bubble wrapped and tightly snug in the box to allow zero damage.


They're absolutely gorgeous. Just as described with a perfectly sized rim!  

Here's a bit of information:  

Diameter : 14.5mm 
Base Curve : 8.6mm 
Lens' Lifetime : 1 Year Disposable 
Water Content: 38% 
Labelled by: DollyEye / Douceurs  

---------  

I waited over night so the harsh solution that stored the lenses could wash out. Then, I plopped them in for a test run!


Design


I love the way my natural eye blends into the color of the lenses! The small black lines around the center helps it subtly and slowly blend my eyes into the golden iris. The black circle around the lenses is perfectly sized so it enhances the size of my eyes, but also look natural from a distance!

Color


Instead of looking for harsh edged, bright yellow eyes, I was looking for something more mysterious and alluring. I feel as if these contacts did just that! The yellow shows up quite nicely on my eyes, considering the fact that I have almost jet black eyes.

Comfort


So, I took these on a test run to school one day, and they were SO COMFORTABLE. <3 I couldn't feel them unless I was straining to look at something or with wind blowing on them. However, heed the 8 hour rule. LOL I wore these for 18 hours straight without taking them out for a convention. 
Let's just say I had some major eye pains afterwards. ;v;

Enlargement


It's very slight. The black ring allows it to become a little bigger than my eyes, but it's still small enough to be normal and un-alien like. This is quite nice since it works nicely with simple make up!


Final Thoughts


This exceeded my expectations! I was very happy with these circle lenses, especially because I won it from a giveaway. HAHA
Come on, who doesn't love free stuff? :'>
They have a very gradient like design with an alluring gold color that was vibrant even on my dark eyes. In photoshoot pictures, I was able to easily edit them into a brighter yellow/deeper orange. Wearing these on a normal day made me feel super unique and mysterious. The lenses were a bit on the thin side, so it was super easy to insert everytime!

Pros

  • Comfortable
  • Easy to put on
  • Vibrant
  • Gradient color change
  • Doesn't over englarge

Cons

  • So far, none! 

Would I Repurchase?


Yes! These are probably going to be my go-to yellow lenses, will deff be reordering then they expire.

Final Score: 10/10


Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day! <3

『Review』Nature Republic: Hawaiian Fresh Pineapple Pack

Hello lovelies!
Sorry for that short hiatus. ;v; Hopefully I'll be back regularly since summer is starting soon.
I got a lot of new products to review and a lot of things to talk about! Thing will probably start to pick up. B)
Today I'll be reviewing Nature Republic's Hawaiian Fresh Pineapple Pack! I got it on my trip to New York when I was visiting my boyfriend. 8D


Claims


I didn't really find any claims on the pack; it was kinda of an impulsive buy. LOL
However, from some simple googling, I was able to find that this mask claims to make skin brighter and smoother with the pineapple extract!

Active Ingredient 


  • Hibiscus - firms agent that also cools the face. High in Vitamin C! (which helps the Whitening of skin) 
  • Pineapple Extract - contains enzymes that makes skin elastic, improve skin hydration, and remove damaged and dead cells. It helps achieve a clear and glowing complexion that reduces fine lines and signs of aging.

Texture


Smooth, but not thick. I would say, gel-like and light! There were tiny blades of a grass like material sparely in the mask that was probably used as a gentle exfoliant. When applied it was very, very cold. I almost to the point where I cringed a bit. ;A;
The mask had a lasting coldness that was extremely cooling! To be honest, I could even associate it with being minty. After a good 20 minutes, the cooling sensation began to wear off, so I popped into the shower and washed it off.

("After" is the picture in which I have the mask on. Should've labeled it differently. LOL)

Smell


It smells slightly of pineapple, but nothing too pungent or strong. I quite like it, as it quite accurately portrays the pineapple smell.

Final Thoughts


Ohh my god! My face felt absolutely amazing afterwards. Not only being super smooth and silky, I also felt like it lifted my cheeks and made my face bouncy. Maybe that's what it feels like to get Botox? LOL 
I felt extremely satisfied after washing it off, definitely a great way to end a long day of studying. HAHA


Pros

  • Smell good
  • Firms 
  • Cooling 
  • Amount in singular pack is enough 
  • All natural
  • Doesn't drip 

Cons

  • A bit messy
  • Extremely cold when first applied  

Would I Repurchase?

Since I purchased this from New York in a small Nature Republish store, probably won't get the opportunity too. However, it has definitely made me more interested in the other masks they have to offer! If I happen to find this at a good price again, I would grab it. B)

Final Score: 9.5/10


Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day! <3
