Lens Review

Before I post the next part to my haul,
I want to do a mini review on a circle lens site I found.
The website is called IEye Beauty, but the site is actually colorcontactsus.com.
On this site, I have made two separate orders and really like the service so far.
I will review the lens, but really want to recommend the site as well as the prices are quite low (lower than the site I used to purchase at), and shipping to East Coast only takes 1 week!

As well, on my first order one of the lens they sent me was wrong and they shipped a new one to me without any hassle :) 

So on the the lenses!
The first lens I ordered were the GEO Magic Three Tone Color lenses in Gray.
They come packaged as such:
The packaging is so pretty and pink! But back to the lens...I must say that I don't like it.
Was really disappointed by GEO this time. The lens, which is supposed to look gray, looks more like a hazy brown on my eyes (which are dark brown). While I really wanted gray, I would settle for the brown, but the lenses make my eye look smaller! Crazy I know! I think this is better for those with small eyes, which this would just change the color and be very natural looking. 
Close up of the lens.
The color is quite light and there is no dark ring.
The diameter is supposed to be 14.5mm but my natural eye ended up being a little bigger, making my eye seem smaller :(
So overall...
Enlarging: 0/5
Comfort: 4/5
Color: 2/5
Price: $16.20
Ya I didn't like these and would not recommend (unless you have really small and light eyes to begin with)=/

Next up are the ones that I've been moaning over the last few months. These puppies are quite expensive in my opinion, and are the reason I ordered the first pair (trying to pay less for a similar look).
But alas, I guess some things you just have to buy the real thing.
Yay! The Geo Princess Mimi Bambi lenses in Gray *drool*
I love these!
Although the price is a bit high, at $26.73, they are worth every penny!
Close up time-
These don't even look gray on the lens but look beyond great on the eye!
At 15mm diameter and a nice thick black outer rim, they really open up and enlarge my eyes while still looking semi natural. 
(At home in poor light)
(Outside daytime)
So overall...
Color: 5/5
Comfort: 5/5
Enlarging: 5/5
Well worth it!

Until my next post (haul???),

Love and shopping,

Welcome Fall^^

Fall is coming!

So as a proper shopaholic, I have to welcome the season appropriately with shopping!

So here is part 1 of my new fall additions :)
*Excuse the background*
First up is this structured emerald green handbag from H&M.
This is by far my new fave handbag! It is huge, such a pretty color, and screams fall.


Comes complete with feet at the bottom (a must for that nice luxurious feel), a shoulder strap in addition to the top handles, and side snaps to keep it slimmer (or release for massive room).
Next up are these super duper uber awesome hot pants from Forever21!
On the front they have an intricate rope and beaded pattern that looks like it came off of a runway or music video...complete love. Then the back is made of plain black lace, quite considerate for the bum.
Then I picked up this flared jacket from Ann Taylor. Super disappointed on how it photographs, but it's actually quite cute on. Love the color and pattern, and the lightweight feel of the fabric. Also, makes for a very mature and powerful look!

Lastly are these two items also from Ann Taylor.
The white blazer was an awesome find for a great price and also makes a really cool, mature, and edgy look. Then I picked up this chain and ribbon trimmed navy t-shirt. While I don't wear many t-shirts, I figure that it can be dressed up with a nice blazer or leather jacket.

Well that's it for part 1, part 2 is closely behind!

Love,
