In the Pursuit of Fabulous-Review of Barbie Gossip 3 Tones Violet

Hello lovelies!
   It appears that March is all ready upon us and I am back with another lens review this time of the Barbie Gossip 3 Tone lenses in Violet. I purchased these beautiful lenses from Uniqso and I got them yesterday. Needless to say that they are GORGEOUS! I couldn't wait to get them on. I opened them up immediately and let them soak in my solution overnight and put them on this morning. I really love violet lenses. They make me feel so glamorous like Elizabeth Taylor and her stunning natural purple eyes. I love watching her in old movies and I can't take my eyes off her. She was so beautiful and a complete diva and that is how I feel wearing purple lenses. But anyways on with the review and the picture of course.
Barbie Gossip 3 Tones Violet is a gorgeous natural looking color.



Enlargement- 9  out of 10 bats
  These lenses really make my eyes look big and I love that about them. People will notice the size difference even if they can't put their finger on it.

Color and Design- 9 out of 10 bats
  I really love the look of violet lenses as I mentioned earlier. They just scream glamorous to me. These lenses are pigmented enough to show up against my dark brown eyes which is always a good thing for us dark eyed beauties and with the three tones it makes a bit more natural looking. The color is subtle from a distance but noticeable.

Comfort- 9 out of 10 bats
   As I have mentioned before the Barbie lenses are the most comfortable lenses I own currently. I don't have issues with them taking time to "settle" on my eyes which may cause them to have hazy spots or the irritating floating lens syndrome which always happens to only one eye. Especially when I am in a hurry to get ready. I am able to just put them on and apply my makeup which is what I want in a lens. I have worn theses lenses for eight hours with no problems. Probably anything longer than that keep some eye drops handy.

Overall- 9 out of 10
    To put it simply, these lenses are simply fantastic. Not only do they enlarge your eyes, but they are extremely natural looking while doing it. The color and design stand up well against dark eyes and pigmented enough to be noticed from a distance. Finally comfort is key, they are excellent for long wear without drying your eyes out too much. So if you are looking for a gorgeous natural looking violet lenses these are perfect for you.

Until next time my dears...

In the Pursuit of Fabulous-Review of EOS WBK-1 Black

Hello Lovelies~
      I am back again with another contact lens review for you. This time I will be reviewing, EOS WBK-1 Black that I purchased from KiwiBerry1 Collection. Like the pink lenses that I reviewed last time, these were my first pair of black lenses. I have several pairs of blue, violet and green but these were my first black lenses. Honestly I didn't have the urge to put a darker colored contacts in since my eyes were all ready dark. I didn't think that it would make any difference. My eyes would just be darker, whoopie. How wrong I was. I had seen sites that claimed that "black eyes make you appear more intelligent". While I don't know if I look smarter, I do have to say that I do look bad ass with these lenses in. Needless to say I am going to be purchasing some more in the future.

These black lenses were the finishing touch to the Futuristic look  I did

 Enlargement- 9 out of 10 bats
  What else can I say, since these lenses are black they make my eyes look HUGE! While the actual enlargement is 14.8mm  I think that the color is what helps give the illusion of large dolly like eyes.

Color and Design- 8 out of 10 bats
  As I mentioned earlier, I didn't think that black lenses would be that impressive to me since I all ready have really dark eyes. I was quite mistaken. I like how the color fades in towards the middle instead of being one harsh black blob which gives it more of a natural look.

Comfort- 9 out of 10 bats
  These lenses are extremely comfortable however they did get a bit dry towards the end of the day hence the 9 out of 10. Keep eye drops handy and

Overall-  9 out of 10 bats
  I love everything about these lenses- the look, enlargement, comfort.I honestly can't rave enough about them.Anyone who is on the fence about purchasing black lenses, you really need to get these lenses. You won't be disappointed.

Now don't forget about my current giveaway that I am having and if you are on Facebook be sure to check out my Tim Burton Inspired Makeup Contest. Until next time my dears....

In the Pursuit of Fabulous-Barbie Puffy Three Tones Brown from Unisqo

Hello my lovlies~
   I am sorry that I have been away for so long. A lot has happened since I last posted ,the two major events  that occured were that we got a new boxer puppy which my children have named Cody and I participated in my first NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November. For those of you who haven't participated in NaNoWriMo it is basically a writing frenzy all month. The goal is to write 50,000 words in 30 days and I am proud to say that I met the goal but I didn't do anything else. I was a mad writing hermit during the month of November. But I am back with a review of the Barbie Puffy Three Tones Lenses in Brown from Uniqso. I bought these lenses several months back due to the fact that the company was having an amazing sale on this brand and I wanted some new lenses to review. I wasn't quite sure about buying brown lenses since I all ready have dark brown eyes but I am honestly thrilled with how these lenses look. While I am normally drawn to more drastic lenses these didn't fall flat at all. While the color change isn't as shocking or unusual as yellow lenses would be, I found myself admiring these beauties every time I passed a mirror.
If you look closely you can see a slight reddish or pink ring around the pupil opening. I love this and it gave my eyes more "depth" instead of just a solid colored lens.


My crappy camera fails to capture the gorgeous hues in this lens.
Enlargement- 6 out of 10 bats
  These lenses did make my eyes larger but it didn't give an alien appearance. However you will notice the slight difference in your eyes. 

Color and Design- 7 out of 10 bats
  These lenses are gorgeous in the vials and out. There is a slight pinkish/red inner ring where the pupil opening which explodes into a frenzy of different browns and ambers and ends with a soft brown outer ring.The lenses are what I would consider natural but they are anything but boring. While personally I love the strange and unusual colors and patterns, I really love the look of these lenses.

Comfort- 9 out of 10 bats
  These lenses are EXTREMELY comfortable. I wore them for a full eight hours and I didn't have any complaints. They did what I want from a pair of lenses. They stayed in place with no hassle that I forgot that I was wearing them.

Overall- 7 out of 10 bats
   Needless to say, I really loved these lenses. While they didn't make my eyes as large and alien looking as I would like, I couldn't stop admiring these lenses throughout the day. The color and design were gorgeous especially giving the brown so much more depth and the comfort was out of this world.I was pleasantly surprised at the new shade of brown my eyes achieved and I wouldn't hesitate in purchasing another set of Barbie lenses especially if they are as comfortable as these. I do have this same lens in blue so I look forward to seeing how well the blue stands up against my dark eyes.

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
Sunlight outside
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...
