Dreadful where are you??

Hello lovelies!
    I wanted to stop by and make a quick post since I have been missing for over a week. While I will freely admit that I have NOT been abducted by aliens.

However, alien abductions would be more pleasant that what I am dealing with.

   I am stuck with trying to fix a giant shit storm of fuck ups for my upcoming wedding this Saturday which there WILL be a giant blog about later on. I have been nice and patient when it comes to the issues that have developed with the venue. However I feel like this on the inside...

Me on the inside

                                        And having to be both polite and firm on the outside

Damn straight .. Preach it Xena!

 

     However I feel like this right now....

    

So I promise I will be back next week with more manis, makeup and a massive story of my wedding nightmare that I am still hoping will turn out okay. Either that or I will be so tanked that it won't matter.

Pass me that bottle Patsy..

   So until next time lovelies!

The Pursuit of Fabulous-Review of Natural Big Eyes Lenses - Dolly Eye - Pop C Light Violet

Hello my lovelies,
    I am back again with another circle lens review for you. This time I am reviewing Natural Big Eye Lenses Dolly Eye Pop C in Light Violet. I originally purchased these lenses from EyeCandy's Store but for some reason they are no longer in stock. AS I have stated before I have really dark brown eyes and while some lenses look amazing in the photos on the website they don't live up to their images when you get them out of their vials and into your eyes. While I am sure that those lenses may look jaw dropping amazing with people with lighter eyes not so much on us dark eyed ladies and gents. But not so with these lenses, you can tell the difference and the actual color from a distance. If you are looking for a lens that stands out in a crowd these lenses are for you. I love dramatic looking lenses and makeup so these were right up my alley.

With flash., just look at the amazing color.

Enlargement- 8 out 10 bats

  These lovelies are huge. Large enough to draw attention to you but not too big that people will think that you are some strange alien from another planet. People will glance your way and do a double take. So be prepared. 

Color and Design- 8 out of 10 bats

   The color of these lenses are amazing. The pigmentation is dark enough to stand out against my dark eyes and up against my dying camera. They are really vibrant! If you are looking for a more subtle or natural violet eye, then these are not for you. They are quite dramatic and stunning. But then again, I love the strange and unusual.

Comfort- 7 out of 10 bats

   While these lenses are comfortable my eyes were being to tire and dry out after about six to seven hours. If you are thinking of wearing these beauties all day/night take some eye drops and your case in case they dry out too much.

Overall- 7 1/2 bats out of 10

    While I loved the color and enlargement of these amazing lenses, I wish they were a bit more comfortable for me to wear longer without drops. People will do a double take and stare at these lovely lenses since they are so striking and really draw attention to your eyes. I still can't rave enough about how pigmented they are to stand out from a distance on my dark eyes. So if you are looking for a gorgeous violet lens that will draw attention go out and purchase these.

It appears that after I composed this blog entry, my sad sick little camera has finally given up the ghost and died a horrible death. Which, I will say, is all for the best since it could no longer take decent close up pictures. So, since the camera gods have spoken, I will be purchasing a camera after the holidays and I will be back with better (and clearer) pictures and I will be revising the tutorial with new images and of course more reviews and tutorials. So have a wonderful holiday season and I will see you all in 2013. Until next time my dears...

In the Pursuit of Fabulous...Review of Ifairy Style Hanabi Blue Circle lens

Hello my lovelies,

     I am doing another Circle lens review for you today. Today I am reviewing Ifairy Style Hanabi Blue Circle lenses. As being a brown eyed beauty, I longed to have the striking combination of blue eyes with black hair. This combination has always been truly stunning with mixture of darkness and light. So naturally I needed to try this out on myself to see how I liked it.These are the first blue circle lenses that I purchased and I am extremely pleased with them. Having really dark brown eyes I was concerned that the color wouldn't be noticeable from a distance, but I was pleasantly surprised. While you can make out that the lenses are blue from a distance but the bright blue color and pattern isn't really noticeable until you are close up and in bright light. I asked my husband what he thought of the new lenses and he responded, "Their blue and they look weird." I am guessing that "weird" is going to be the standard response for circle lenses due to the enlargement. He should be used to weird, he is after all with me. My camera and the light were apparently working against me today. So until the budget allows, my camera will continue to call my bluff on throwing it away from something new.So Dreadful gives Ifairy Style Hanabi Blue the following ratings..

Natural light inside

Enlargement- 9.5 out of 10 bats
   Theses lenses are larger than my Candy Magic Big Size Green. They are 15mm, so you will notice a considerable difference. The lenses do give you an alien or doll like appearance. So people will look at you and try to figure out what is different about you.

Color and Design- 8 out of 10 bats
    While these lenses do stand out against my dark brown eyes, I really wished that they were more vibrant from a distance. The swirled pattern is quite striking against the blue but I wish I could see it a bit better on my eyes. Similar to the Candy Magic Big Size Green these may be more vibrant on lighter eyes.

Comfort- 8 out of 10 bats
   These lenses are quite comfortable, however I do get a bit of a haze in my peripheral vision which can be slightly annoying.

Overall- 8.5 out of 10 bats
   The color and design are gorgeous and you will have an doll like appearance with these lenses,however the hazy peripheral vision may be irritating.

Until next time my dears..

In the Pursuit of Fabulous- Review of Candy Magic Big Size Green

Hello my lovelies,

     While I have always been obsessed with makeup, I have just recently come across the world of Circle Lenses. Circle lenses are colored contact lenses that give the eye a bigger almost doll like appearance. The really great thing about these lenses is that they are cosmetic so you don't have to pay an arm or a leg for them. And as an added bonus, you don't have to visit an optometrist and jump through hoops in order to get a prescription. Now if you need a prescription, never fear my lovelies, lots of styles are available with prescriptions. So for all you dark eyed beauties (like myself), you can now have the stunning bright brilliant lighter colored eyes you have always wanted on a decent budget anytime you want. 

   I recently ordered the Candy Magic Big Size Green from EyeCandy Lens . For years, I have always wanted brilliant emerald green eyes and I had to have them. The shipping was decent, especially coming from overseas.( Now remember if you order from them you will have to be home to sign for the delivery or go pick it up directly from your local post office.) I promptly tore open the package and opened the precious little vials and anxiously waited while my lenses soaked overnight. I popped these lovelies in.While they were extremely green and vibrant in the vials, I was slightly disappointed that they did not show up as brightly as I wanted against my dark brown eyes. The green is noticeable close up in bright sunlight or from the flash of a camera but not from a distance. They were extremely large and even though my husband couldn't notice the color difference when I first put them of he did mention that my eyes looked "weird". My eyes are gigantic in these lenses. Now in all honestly I thought that these lenses were going to be really uncomfortable due to how large they are.Surprisingly, these lenses are extremely comfortable. I have worn them for hours without any irritation.  So, Dreadful gives the Candy Magic Big Size Green Lenses the following ratings..

Enlargement-9 out of 10 bats
  My eyes look almost alien in these lenses. People will do a double take, even if they can't tell the color, from the size of your eyes.

Color and Design- 7 out of 10 bats
   The color of these lenses are really beautiful but didn't show up well against my dark eyes unless in sunlight or from the flash of a camera. However, I do think that these lenses would be absolutely stunning on someone with lighter colored eyes.

Comfort-9 out of 10 bats
  These lenses are quite comfortable to wear. They did initially float around when I first placed them in, hence the 9 out of 10 bats.

Overall- 8 out of 10 bats
  They are quite comfortable and will enlarge your eyes, however if you have darker eyes they will be as vibrant in regular light from a distance.

Until next time my dears...
