Cat Eyes::Pinkicon Circle Lens Review



A few weeks ago, I was sent a pair of circle lenses courtesy of Pinkicon. For those of you who aren't familiar with circle lenses, they're a type of contact lens that is super popular in Asia. They come in various colors and usually have an enlarging effect on the iris.

For this post I was sent a pair of lenses from the brand GEO in fire cat grey (you can find them here). I've never had the chance to wear circle lenses before this, though I've worn regular colored contact lenses in the past. In comparison to the normal "American" contact lenses, the circle lenses were much larger (mine were 15mm in diameter!). I really loved the grey color and thought they blended well with my eyes and they were quite comfortable as well. I could comfortably wear them all day without irritation.

Another difference between these lenses and regular contacts is that they last for 6 months with proper care, while regular contacts last around 2 weeks. So, while they seem expensive ranging from $20-$50 per pair, they do last a lot longer than normal contacts.

For those of you that want to try them out, Pinkicon has kindly provided a discount code! You can get $6 off any purchase of $25 or more with the code below! Go check them out!

Bat Your Lashes:: Model 21 Review



Hi Everyone!!

It's been a while since my last post since I was studying for finals and writing term papers and such, but I'm finally back to blogging!

I was sent a box of False Eyelashes by MODEL 21 to try out a few weeks ago, and to be honest, it was my first foray into false lashes. I've probably only worn false lashes once before I got these, even though I've always loved how false lashes look on other people. Since receiving these, I've tried a few other brands, and can safely say that these are BY FAR my favorites. The MODEL 21 lashes are so comfortable to wear and are really easy for beginners, like myself, to put on since they're very flexible and mold to your eye shape easily. I also like that they come in a box of 10! A beginner needs all the practice they can get right?? :)

By the way, I'm wearing the #63 lashes. They aren't as dramatic as some of the other styles are and I think they're really good for "everyday" type situations! What are your thoughts on false lashes???
