In the Pursuit of Fabulous- Review of KimChi Mermaid Blue lenses from Uniqso and Purple Starlight Makeup Tutorial

Hello again lovelies!
   I am back this time with a quick review of the KimChi Mermaid Blue circle lenses from Uniqso. I could have sworn that I wrote this post to go along with the uploaded video with these gorgeous lenses however it seems to have disappeared. Computer Gremlins are hungry apparently. O.o But this is actually going to be a two for one posting. Not only do I have the review of the lovely lenses seen below but I also have the makeup tutorial as well!

Purple Starlight makeup with Kimchi Mermaid Blue Lenses

The Review:

And here is a makeup tutorial done with these gorgeous lenses:

Now on with the ratings..

Enlargement- 9 out of 10 bats
   As I mentioned in the video review that theses lenses are 16mm which does enlarge your eyes quite a bit. You can tell a definite difference when you put them in. They give you a nice dolly or big eye look without being creepy or alien like that some can do .

Color and Design -9.5 out of 10 bats
   I REALLY love the color and design of these theses.They are a lovely shade of dark blue with slivers of purple and black throughout. As you can tell with the close up picture it really has a unique pattern which reminds me of water ripples so I think that the brand being called mermaid is quite fitting. While these lenses are two toned which isn't a smooth transition from your natural eye color as some three to four toned lenses. But they aren't a jarring transition from my natural eye color to the lens. Now my natural eye color is a dark brown so sadly they aren't as striking across the room as they would be up close but for someone with lighter eyes they would be amazing!

Comfort-9 out of 10 bats
    These lenses are quite comfortable throughout the entire day which usually runs around 8-10 hours for me. I can pop them in and not have to worry about them drying my eyes out like some lenses can which I attribute to their high water content. I would suggest that if you have dry eyes be sure to carry around drops if you plan on wearing them longer than 6 hours.

Overall- 9.3 out of 10 bats
   These lenses are simply amazing. These lenses have fantastic enlargement and will give you a nice dolly eye effect. The color and design is gorgeous. While they claim to be two toned the contrast between the dark blue with slivers of purple and black remind me of rippling water. They are lovely against my dark eyes and will be even more striking against those of you with lighter eyes. The comfort is phenomenal, I can wear theses lenses for 8 hours without them drying out my eyes unlike some other lenses.These lenses are gorgeous enough for every day wear and cosplay so you really can't go wrong.

In the Pursuit of Fabulous Review of I. Fairy Dolly + Red Lenses from Uniqso

Hello again lovelies!
   I am back with another contact lens review. Since things have finally calmed down from last month I can catch up with reviews and tutorials. This time I am reviewing the super popular I. Fairy Dolly + Red lenses from Uniqso. These are one of Uniqso's most popular lenses and I completely know why. They are simply gorgeous. While these are only my second pair of red lenses, I have to say that I am completely in love with them. I mean honestly, when you take a look at the color you can see why.

Look at how vibrant the I Fairy Dolly + Red is!

Now to the actual review. I don't know why I am looking away from the camera but I will try to correct that habit with the next review. Also I learned while editing this video, I apparently say "um" a lot. Perhaps because I am nervous.O.o Yet another habit to fix as well...

Now just in case you missed the breakout of ratings in the video here it is:

Enlargement- 9 out of 10 bats
  These lenses do enlarge your eyes drastically, being 16.2mm, and you will notice a difference. However they are not the largest lenses I have. But they are a solid middle ground in between. They won't enlarge your eye so drastically that it will give you an alien like appearance, but they will be noticeable to everyone.

Color and Design-9.8 out of 10 bats
   I am seriously totally in love with these lenses because they are so intense and super vivid. They are two toned so they are not going to blend with your natural eye color as  much as the 3 and 4 toned lenses. But in all honesty red lenses aren't the most "natural looking" lenses out there. While there are some lenses that are red that give your eyes a warm rich velvety look. These are BAM! In your face red. So these are perfect for dramatic looks, cosplay outfits, even Halloween makeup. You can wear them for everyday looks, like I do, however people will stare and whisper. So be prepared. ^_~

Comfort-9.5 out of 10 bats
   Due to their 55% water content, these lenses are really comfortable.I wore theses lenses at a local convention for around 10 hours and didn't have a problem. After the 9th hour my eyes were a little dry so carry drops with you if you are going to wear them longer than 8 hours. I also love the fact that they are bright and vivid like a lot of Halloween/costume contact lenses but they don't have the "pinhole" or "tunnel vision" syndrome that a lot of costume lenses have. While I love costume lenses, the tunnel vision aspect can be aggravating while driving and costume lenses are a lot "thicker" so they tend to dry your eyes out quicker than circle lenses.

Overall- 9.6 out of 10 bats
  If you are looking for a bright and vivid red lens you really can't get any better than these. Not only do the lenses dramatically enlarge you eyes without giving you an alien like appearance, they are super comfortable without drying your eyes out. The color and design honestly can't be beat. They are extremely bright and vivid and people can tell that your eyes are red from across the room. They are just as vivid as some of the costume lenses that I have and they don't have give you "tunnel vision" syndrome which you often find with costume lenses.  So if you want a true bright red lens that will get you noticed, theses are the lenses you are looking for.

Until next time my dears,

In the Pursuit of Fabulous-Reveiw of GNG Floral ML1 lenses from Kiwiberry1

Hello lovelies!
  It is the beginning of a new month and I am back with another circle lenses review. This time I am reviewing this GNG Floral ML1 lenses in pink from Kiwiberry1 Collection. While at first I was hesitant about pink lenses, I am quickly falling in love with them. These are my second pair of pink lenses and needless to say I will be getting more. These lenses just scream delicate and girly to me with the combination of the light pink color and the intricate pattern of little flowers. Normally I prefer bolder lenses since I like bolder looks these lenses quickly won me over and you can see why. Just take a peek at these gorgeous lenses.

You can make out the small flower pattern against my dark eyes.

They go will with dramatic looks...

As well as everyday looks...

Now on with the review..

 
Enlargement-8 out of 10 bats
   These lenses are listed as 14.2 mm which do enlarge your eyes but not dramatically. While I do prefer larger lenses for the more dramatic look, theses lenses do help you achieve the "dolly eye look" without being  too dramatic. You will notice a slight difference from a distance but your eyes while larger will still have a "natural" appearance and make people second guess what is different about you.

Color and Design-8.5 out of 10 bats
    The color and design are really gorgeous with this lenses. The pink is a really soft pink and not as opaque as I would like them to be in order to stand out against my dark brown eyes. They do lighten my eyes considerably and would look amazing on someone with lighter eyes. The design is really lovely. The small delicate flower pattern just makes me feel super girly wearing them and you can tell slightly with the close up but it is not visible far away which I like. These would be a good date night lens when you date gazes into your eyes the flowers will be a surprise for them. You also get the flower look without having the larger flower petals that some other lenses have.

Comfort- 9 out of 10 bats
   These lenses are extremely comfortable and easy to put in. The website has the water content listed as 38% which is decent but if you have dry eyes the lenses may dry your eyes out faster than mine so carry drops with you if that is the case. I didn't have a problem wearing these lenses for the entire day around 7 hours without any irritation or dryness issues.If you do wear them longer than 7 hours I would recomend to carry drops as well since your eyes do get tired.

Overall-8.8 out of 10 bats
    Theses lenses are really great overall. The enlargement is nice and noticeable, giving a natural dolly eye effect, without being too overly dramatic. The soft pink color is a nice transition to pink lenses for those who may still be on the fence about having pink contacts. While they are not as opaque as I would like to stand out against my dark eyes, they do lighten them considerably. The pattern is soft and delicate and very girly without the larger petal look that some other lenses have. Finally, these lenses are extremely comfortable with a decent water content that I didn't have any issues wearing for a full day.If you are looking for a delicate and girly lens or a bit hesitant about taking the plunge into getting pink lenses these are definitely lenses for you.

In the Pursuit of Fabulous-Review of EOS WM-205 Max Sherbet Lenses in Blue

Hello lovelies!
 
     I am back again with another contact lens review as we all know that I love contacts. I think that they open up endless makeup look possibilities so naturally a girl can never have too many. This time I am reviewing EOS WM-205 Max Sherbet lenses in Blue from Kiwiberry-1 Collection. One of my favorite combinations for makeup or looks in general is dark hair with blue eyes. It just screams exotic and alluring to me. I love it so much that it is no surprise that Mr. Dreadful has this hair and eye color combination. ^_~ So needless to say that I was super thrilled to receive these gorgeous lenses. But now on to what you are really waiting for pictures and the actual review!

Max Sherbet Blue- Isn't it a gorgeous color? *

This lens looks amazing with both dramatic and neutral looks!*

Now on with the actual review..

Enlargement - 9 out of 10  bats
    These lenses are listed as 14.8 mm with the enlargement but they seem to much larger to me. I would have guessed that these were at least 15 mm if not 15.5 since they really do enlarge the eye. They do give you the nice dolly eye effect without being too overly dramatic or making you look almost alien like.

Color and Design -9 out of  10 bats
     I love the dark blue color of these lenses. While these lenses are more dramatic than some of my other lenses they still stay in the natural looking realm. The color is extremely vibrant. These look incredible close up both inside and out on my dark brown eyes. These lenses are great for not only everyday wear but also for special occasions and cosplay. However since this is a darker blue color they not a real noticeable dramatic blue from a distance since my eyes are also dark. But I am sure that this would look INCREDIBLE on someone with lighter eyes.

Comfort-  9 out of 10  bats
    These lenses like the rest of my EOS are EXTREMELY comfortable. They "settle" immediately and don't do the awkward float around your eye trick after you put them in. When mysterious floating contact happens is always happens to me in one eye when I am in a hurry to get ready to go somewhere. I haven't had an issue with these lenses and I can wear them for at least 8 hours with no issue. If you are planning on wearing them longer than that keep eye drops handy.

Overall- 9 out of 10 bats

These lenses were amazing all around. While the manufacturer states that they are smaller than 15mm, I think that they are at least that if not a little bigger from the enlargement that they do. They give you a nice dolly eye effect without being too dramatic. The dark blue color of these lenses is simply stunning. I can't stop looking at my eyes in the mirror. The color is nice balance of vibrant and natural which makes it perfect for everyday and special occasions. Finally these lenses are extremely comfortable since I can wear them for at least 8 hours with no issue at all.

In the Pursuit of Fabulous-Review of Barbie Forest Three Tone lenses from Uniqso

Hello lovelies!
   I am back again with another lens review this time of the Barbie Forest Three Toned Series from Uniqso while I am attempting to figure out Window's Movie editor for my first YouTube Video. So between the urge to rip my hair out during the editing process I wanted to do a review of these gorgeous lenses! I really love the Barbie Forest Three Toned series since not only is the quality amazing so the price which is an even bigger bang for your buck especially when you are on a beauty budget! They are current on sale for under ten dollars a pair (yup you heard me right UNDER TEN DOLLAR A PAIR) so snatch them up and look fabulous. But I know enough of my chatter you want to see the good stuff and the review...On to the pictures!

Blue

Green

Violet

Brown

Enlargement -9 out of 10 bats
   These lenses enlarge quite nicely being 16.5 mm while they are not the largest or smallest lenses I have I think that they are right middle. They are large enough to make a difference however they aren't too big to make you appear to have strange alien eyes.

Color and Design -8.7 out of 10 bats
   These lenses are EXTREMELY natural looking. The three tones blend beautifully with your natural eye color (whatever it may be) and give you a nice large dolly eye look without being extremely obvious that you are wearing contacts. The colors are are very soft (as soft as you can get without venturing into pastels). As you can tell from the photos above that my natural eye color is a dark brown. The lighter color lenses (blue, violet and green) aren't as vivid as they would be with someone with lighter eyes. From a distance you can tell there is a slight color difference around the outer portion of my iris. The brown lens gives my dark brown eyes even more depth which I really like about them.

Comfort- 9 out of 10 bats
   Like all my Barbie lenses,these lenses are EXTREMELY comfortable. I can wear these lenses for 7 hours without any issue. However anything longer than that, I would keep eye drops handy since Circle lenses in general can dry out your eyes.

Overall-9 out of 10 bats
   These lenses are really gorgeous. The enlarge your eyes nicely without appearing unnatural.The three toned effect blends nicely in with your natural eye color without making it obvious that you are wearing contacts. These lenses are EXTREMELY natural looking so they can be worn everyday if you wanted. Like all Barbie lenses these lenses are SUPER comfortable can be worn for an extended period of time. Not to mention the added bonus that they are extremely affordable. So if you are looking for a natural looking lens, or if you are on a budget (like most of us are) or are new to circle lenses these are the perfect lenses for you.

In the Pursuit of Fabulous- Review of EOS G307 Gothic Hazel Lenses From Kiwiberry-1

Hello again lovelies!

    I am back again this time with a new circle lens review of EOS G307 Gothic Hazel Lenses from Kiwiberry1 Collection. I purchased these lenses from Kiwiberry1 Collection awhile back when they were having one of their 50% sales and I have been searching for true golden looking lens. And I will fully admit that their name completely drew me to them. Gothic+Lenses= my instant attention. Golden eyes remind me of werewolves and werewolf movies. There is something primal about yellow eyes and I have been searching for the perfect lenses to give me that look. While there are several contacts that will give that gorgeous golden yellow color I wanted something more natural for every day wear.

EOS G 307 Gothic Hazel

Enlargement- 8 out of 10 bats
  These lenses are 14.5mm so they only slightly enlarge the eye which is a bonus if you are shopping for a lens that gives you a more natural look . You will notice a difference but it isn't as drastic as some of the other lenses that I own.

Color and Design- 8.5 out of 10 bats
   I bought these lenses with the intention of them giving a natural look and they do. The color is is an actual true hazel color with a variety of soft muted colors which will  show up against my dark eyes. The color will also give you a more natural look as it fades easier in with your eyes than some of the bolder more vivid lenses. They have a really golden look in the vials however the gorgeous golden look is lost against my dark eyes. Which makes me sad, however I think that they would look incredible against someone with really light colored eyes.

Comfort- 9 out of 10 bats
    These lenses are extremely comfortable. I have worn them for 7 hours without an issue. By the end of the night as with all lenses, my eyes were starting to dry out so keep some eye drops handy if you plan to wear them more that 7 hours.

Overall- 8.5 out of 10 bats
   These are really natural looking lenses. They do enlarge your eye without being too dramatic. The color and design are gorgeous and very natural, a true hazel color with a hint of gold on my dark eyes but would probably look more vivid on someone with lighter colored eyes. Finally these lenses are very comfortable. I didn't have an issue after wearing them for around 7 hours. Anything more you will need to use some drops like you would for other lenses.

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- Barbie Forest Red Lenses

Hello Lovelies!
   
  Today I am back doing a review of Barbie Forest Red Lenses from Uniqso . These are my first red lenses and to be honest, I was a bit hesitant to purchase them since I didn't think that I would be able to wear them on a regular basis. Yes, red lenses are fantastic for parties, Halloween, shows, cons or even cosplay in but I want to purchase lenses that I can wear every day if I want to. But needless, to say I have fallen head over heels in love with these beautiful lenses. I couldn't believe how stunning they were in the vials and when I wore them. I used them for while I was creating a couple of Valentine's Day looks (which I will be posting tutorials for in the next couple of days). But on with the review...

Barbie Forest Red Lenses are my new love...

Enlargement-9.5 out of 10 bats
  These lenses make my eyes look HUGE and I love that. They are a whopping 16.5mm but strangely enough they didn't make me look freaky or unnatural (which I don't mind but I know that a lot of people do).

Color and Design- 9.5 out of 10 bats
  As I mentioned earlier, I was really on the fence about purchasing red lenses for everyday wear but these really won me over. I love red lenses now. The red is really pigmented without being over the top and obviously a cosplay lens. You can wear these everyday and not have people wonder if you are an extra in a horror movie being filmed locally. The red color and design of this lens not only shows up really well against my dark eyes but compliments them nicely. The pattern even gives it a more "natural" look that some of the "natural colored" lenses I have.

Comfort- 9 out of 10 bats
   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. 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- 9.5 out of 10
    To put it simply, these lenses kick ass. 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 look AMAZINGLY natural for a red lens. Finally comfort is key, they are excellent for long wear without drying your eyes out too much. If you are looking to try a new lens color that is different than the regular blue, green and grey then try these. Don't be afraid to try red lenses, I think that you will be just as pleasantly surprised and as pleased as I was.

Coming Soon...Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial and an Anti-Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial using these lenses.

Don't forget about my giveaway here on blogger/Facebook which ends on 2/13 and if you follow me on Facebook you can also enter my Tim Burton inspired contest which ends on 2/22!

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....

The Pursuit of Fabulous-EOS Pure Pink V201

Hello Lovelies!
    I just received an order of lenses from Kiwiberry 1 Collection when they had their 50% off sale. So now since most of my package has arrived (with the exception of one pair of lenses which should be on their way). So in this order, I decided to finally try pink lenses. I really hadn't seen a lot of people wearing pink lenses here I figured why not try them out and honestly I was pleasantly surprised with how much I like these lenses. I normally gravitate towards the bold and dramatic and I thought that pink eyes would give me that look, these lenses are surprisingly natural. But enough blathering and on with the review.

EOS Pure Pink V201 are lovely against dark eyes

Enlargement- 6 out of 10 bats
  While these lenses are lovely, they don't enlarge my eyes as some of my other lenses. While my eyes are bigger, you will not get the giant doll eyes look from these lenses. So if you are looking for massive enlargement these lenses are not for you. However if you are looking for enlargement that is less dramatic, then these lenses should be right up your alley.

Color and Design-8.5 out of 10 bats
   As I mentioned earlier, I really love the color of these lenses. The color is almost like a pastel baby pink that pops against my darker eye color and I can notice the difference from a distances. However since the color is a softer shade of pink, I couldn't really distinguish that the lenses were pink from a distance just that my eyes were lighter. While I was hoping for a more vibrant bolder pink I still really liked these lenses.

Comfort- 9 out of 10 bats
   I honestly can't complain about anything when it comes the the comfort of these lenses. Once in there is really no discomfort. The only thing that I noticed was towards the end of the day my eyes were a bit dry (after around 7 hours) so that is why they didn't get a perfect score. However if you keep eye drops handy, you won't run into that problem.

Overall-8 out of 10 bats
   I really do adore these lenses. While these lenses are not as large as I normally wear, they do enlarge my eye. The color is a lovely shade of pink and shows up well against my dark eyes. The pink is subtle enough to lighten my eyes from a distance without shouting "HEY I'M WEARING PINK LENSES!" Finally, these lenses are extremely comfortable. But if you plan to wear them for more than 7 hours or so keep eye drops handy.

Until next time my dears....

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.

Without flash on an overcast day

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-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 Fresh Look Color Blends Gray

Hello my lovelies,
    I am finally back again with another lens review after a whirlwind adventure of moving into my new abode. While moving and unpacking can take on a person's sanity, (How the hell did I acquire this much stuff and did it breed while moving are two of the questions I found myself constantly asking.) I figured before I drowned in an ocean of cardboard, I should do a review of some sort in order to break the monotony of trying to unpack and find a place of all this STUFF. So in order to start off the month of September properly, I decided to do a review of the FreshLook ColorBlends Gray lenses. Why the color gray and not something more vibrant? Well there are two reasons really.First,while I do have some more vibrant lenses to review (which I am drawn to more) I really haven't seen a lot of reviews about grey lenses. Yes, there are reviews of grey lenses but not as many as greens, blues and even browns which I found interesting. And second, it has been nothing but gray here with storms and winds from Hurricane Issac making landfall. Now, I am really sad to report that I am really not overly impressed with these lenses. Essentially I was extremely excited to get them and try them on but once they were in my enthusiasm deflated like flaccid balloon. Now I will warn you ahead of time, these are about as natural as they come (which may be part of my disappointment even though I was wanting natural colored lenses).To quote the Princess Bride, I was hoping for eyes that looked liked "the sea after the storm"and all I got was what appears like gray foggy patches on my eye. O.o So now when I wear these I appear to have some strange eye disease. Could this be because my eyes are darker? Possibly? But never the less, these lenses make my eyes look dirty and like I should be quarantined due to this new eye plague. I didn't even ask my husband what he thought of these since I was afraid he would all the Centers for Disease Control after looking at my eyes.

I don't have an eye disease, honest. Freshlook gray lenses in natural light.

While they do look slightly better inside, I still look like there is something wrong with my eyes.

Enlargement-  2 out of 10 bats
  These lenses are as natural as they come. They even have the subtle brown ring at the outer edges of the gray. So if you are looking for lenses that make you eyes appear larger even the slightest bit try a different brand.

Color and Design- 3.5 out of 10 bats
   The lenses look lovely in their jars. The grey appears nice and opaque with the soft brown outer ring. After putting them on you will do a double check at the foggy appearance which reminded me of my lovely dog Zyllah's developing cataracts when she passed away at the age of 14 years. Now, I will state again that I have dark brown eyes. They may look amazing on people with lighter eyes. I just look like I have an eye disease with these in.

Comfort- 3 out of 10 bats
    As if these lenses didn't have enough going against them with making me appear to have eye cooties (as my 8 year old would say) they really aren't as comfortable as my other lenses. They don't conform to my eye as well as other brands that I have and  I can constantly tell that they are in. I really hate that. When I wear a lenses I want to forget that they are there and enjoy the day.I don't want to be constantly be reminded about the floating piece of plastic that is hovering on my eyeball.


Overall- 3 out of 10 bats
   While the naturalness of the size of the lens didn't bother me at all since I was looking for a pair of "natural" colored lenses. The color, design and comfort were a huge flop. The pigmentation of the coloring against my natural eye color failed completely. The color didn't cover up or blend very well it just gave me the appearance that I have foggy disease ridden patches on my eyes and the comfort just wasn't there. I will not be purchasing these lenses again and I will continue my search for the perfect gray colored lens.

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...
