I Won A Giveaway

Hey lovelies :) This is my second blog post in one day. In case you didn't read my previous post from today, you can click here to read it. It's my EOS Adult Brown circle lenses review

On Thursday I received a package from Jahnice and it was the giveaway prizes! Her giveaway was a surprise giveaway, meaning that the items were not revealed so people would be really curious about it and perhaps enter. As the curious girl I am, I joined her giveaway with no intention of winning :)

Without further ado, here are the prizes:

Express shipping! Good thing that we are both Australian residents :]

I was so excited that I opened it before taking a photo of the package still sealed!

It was fun taking everything out one at a time from the package bag :D

I loved how Jahnice's giveaway had surprise items because I had no idea what to expect. Basically she included items that would be appreciated by many. Stationery items, beauty products, crafty items and cute things!

I would like to say a big thank you to Jahnice for holding such a lovely giveaway. This is my first time winning something online, let alone a blog giveaway :)

Going more into detail with the products:

These are mini paper sheets in this Hello Kitty zip-lock bag

Aw they're all different sheets of paper! So cute ^0^

A bag of buttons - for the crafty!

I'm not crafty but I could still make use of them

So many stickers!!

At first I thought they were just cut-out images to be stuck down with glue but yay, I'm glad they're not =]

Stationery paper!

These will definitely come in handy when I write letters or anything to you guys :D

I haven't bought any cute stationery things like these in years so it's good to have more stuff to use. If you want to be 'penpals', let me know hehe

And now to the cosmetics!

Nail polishes!

I have never tried any Ulta3 nail polishes before because I have no idea where to purchase them from in my city. I know that they can be found in other cities in Aus and they're really cheap

I used some French fake nails that were too wide for me to use on my nails for swatches

They look super glossy and non-streaky =)

I was going to paint my own nails but my school doesn't allow nail polish so I would have had to remove it right after. I hate the smell of nail polish remover T___T

Revlon Colorburst in 070 Soft Nude

OMG I was so happy when I saw this because I have had my eye on this for a while :)

That's about it and overall I liked the giveaway prizes

EOS (E-203) Adult Brown Review

So I've finally been able to share my review of the EOS (E-203) Adult Brown circle lenses. I decided to try these lenses because I like having different variation of brown lenses and the new series of EOS Adult lenses is out so I wasn't sure whether they'd discontinue or remove the previous series altogether.

Here's the model wearing them:

They look really sparkly on her :) This is to show what they may look like in natural lighting (since I usually take photos at night with a flash) and comparison of before and after.

The diameter of these lenses are 14.00mm which is perfect for me because I don't like wearing lenses that have a bigger diameter and I can imagine them being a little harder to put on.

Here are some pictures:

I like how there's a purple/lilac ring around the lenses instead of a dark limbal ring.

I'm happy with the size of these lenses on my eyes because I don't like having an enlarging effect, just more of a colour change.

After reading my friend Cathy's review of these lenses, I decided to flip the lenses the other way! Look and see what happened when I did...

:O Another colour change! A sparkly silvery blue

Haha, it looks so freaky on me but so cool! I love how now I can really be able to tell which side of the lens is correct :D I'm so bad at being able to tell which side is right, for me it's just a trial and error thing - error being the pain that my eyes get from wearing the lenses the wrong side :(

For these lenses, I was surprised that they didn't feel uncomfortable when I wore them the other way. But of course, the normal side was just a tiny bit more comfortable. I don't know whether I'd ever wear the lenses on the incorrect side but it would definitely suit a spooky halloween themed thing :)

Now I'm just curious to know whether the other Adult Brown series colours have the same colour shown when incorrect side is worn!

Does anyone have any of the Adult Series lenses? Have you experienced the same thing before? I'd love to know ^_^

Overall these lenses are super pretty and I love how they make my eyes a hazel colour. I would love to have naturally hazel eyes ;] That would be awesome.

EOS lenses are so thin which is good but it makes it harder for me to insert them. I use my finger and it sometimes bends back into my finger when they touch my eye -___- If you wear lenses I'm sure you'd know what I mean

Argh! Too flat to put onto my eye

Colour: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Pattern: ★★★★★
Enlargement: ★★ ★ ★ ★ (I don't want an enlarging effect so my score for no enlargement is 3/5)

Comfort: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Overall Rating: Love it! 18/20

I got my lenses from mukuCHU @ http://mukuCHU.blogspot.com

In case you didn't know, MukuCHU is based in Australia so it's great for Australian residents who are tired of waiting for lenses coming in from overseas and paying high shipping fees! My lenses came within a few days :D

Oh and the lashes I am wearing are my simple ones which i bought from a small asian accessories store. They're a pair that usually come in a box of 10 but I was able to buy just one pair for $1.50AUD :] I love these so much!

It seems to be a traditional thing for me to show a webcam picture of me with the lenses worn after my review, so here it goes hehe:

The brown side of the lens (correct side)

The blue side of the lenses (the incorrect way)

In no way am I condoning the fact that lenses can be worn both ways! I only wore them temporarily to see what it was like. They really shouldn't be worn on the opposite side so please don't think that they can T__T Best to be safe and sorry, yeah? Protect your precious eyes and wear them correctly :)

That's all from me :)

Packages That I Received This Week

Hello bloggies :)

So from my previous post as a 'YAY' of the week, I received 2 out of 5 of my packages which is not bad considering that shipping does tend to take its time, especially from overseas.

The first package I received was on Tuesday from MukuCHU and they sent me EOS (E-203) Adult Brown circle lenses. Not the new version of the EOS Adult Series. I think the older version looks better than the new one (just judging by pictures). I will go more into detail with it and post a review possibly sometime next week or next weekend. For now, here is a sneak peek:

♥ Free lens case with every pair :)

♥ Lenses are neatly wrapped in bubble wrap

♥ Instructions good for any first-time wearers

♥ Affordable priced lenses

♥ Fast shipping for Australian customers and worldwide!

This is why I need a new digital camera... My current one has no focus!

Stay tuned for my EOS E-203 Adult Brown Review :)

And as for my second package, I received it on Friday (yesterday) from Kiwiberry1 and they sent me a box of 10 falsies which I am currently giving away :) I'm going to do a small review on them so you guys will have a better idea of their packaging and how the design that you may be requesting to win looks like :D

♥ Padded bag and extra wrapping around the box

♥ Fast shipping worldwide

So they allowed me to choose from 2 of their designs from their range to try and I chose #8 (Simple with alternating lash lengths) and #9 (Simple with alternating lash thickness).

They're longer than I expected them to be!

The first pair I tried was #8

Yeah I'm not the best at applying falsies, hence only one closed-eye picture to be shown!

It looks like I need the Duo Dark-tone glue instead of the Clear/White one

Although the design overall is simple, it doesn't look that natural. The alternation of long and short lashes gives a bit of a dramatic effect and it would be obvious for people to see that someone is wearing falsies. I think I would like them more if all of the lashes were the same length and the longer ones shorter.

Verdict:

I do like them but they wouldn't be something for me to wear daily. They would be suitable for a special occasion or for a night out.

Rating: 4/5

-1 for naturalness (as they claim to be)

The second pair I tried was #9

Again, only one of the pair was applied better than the other. This one still isn't perfect though!

These are more dramatic than #8. The thicker width of the individual lashes looked different to the picture on the Kiwiberry1 website. They looked prettier on the website and they weren't as thick. I like having a different falsies style and these really do bring out my eyes.

Verdict:

I like these falsies but I'd only wear them at night. I think they are too much for daytime and will create large impact on my eyes if I only wear simple make-up and light eye shadows. Without eyeliner they would be too bold.

Rating: 3/5

-1 for naturalness (as they claim to be)
-1 for design (thick lashes parts are too thick for me, they look clumpy and they should be thinner)

These are my 100% honest reviews. I am not affiliated with Kiwiberry nor was not paid to do this review.

I was hoping to receive a package this week of my order of my heels but they haven't been shipped out yet -__- I contacted them and they said that there will be delays as they have had so many orders. I was hoping that they would arrive either this week or next week but I really doubt that it'll even arrive in 2 weeks time! As you can imagine, I am quite unhappy and this was my first time purchasing from this company and purchasing heels so now I feel sort of discouraged to purchase from them again in the future. If the condition of the package sent is apalling ,then I'll definitely not want to purchase from them again, no matter how inexpensive their items may be. The shipping cost was quite overpriced but regardless of that I really wanted to purchase these heels. I'll just have to wait and see..

I was planning to wear them with my dress for my friend's 18th next Friday. That probably won't be happening so I'm going to have to wear a different pair of heels.

Speaking of my friend's 18th, I bought her a gift which I will give to her on the night of her party. If you really want to know what I got her, just highlight here -> Lush bath bomb and bubble bar and Christina Aguilera Perfume :)

I hope she likes them because I do :D Smell so nice hehe.

Today I went with my dad to purchase his new phone (LG Mini) and as I was walking in the shopping centre, a young Korean lady unexpectedly came up to me and gently grabbed my hand. I could tell that she was Korean because of her accent and I heard her talk to her friend who was also at the stall. I didn't even see her approach me! I was surprised and I wasn't sure what she was doing haha. But then I realised when I saw her holding a nail sticker sheet in one hand and tweezers in her other hand and stick a design on my thumb. She applied a coat of clear nail polish on top of it to keep the nail sticker in place.

She was from a little stall in the middle of the shopping centre with a table full of nail stickers, nail polishes and tweezers to sell. The phone shop that my dad wanted to go to was just a few metres away from where the young lady and her friend's stall was and after she stuck the nail sticker on, I smiled and walked away with my dad to the shop. Oh I felt so bad and I kept looking at the nail design on my thumb. It's pretty! And so I asked my dad for some money (since I had none on me!) to buy some nail sticker sheets :) They had a deal of $5 each or 3 for $10. My dad gave me $10 so I ended up using it all up ahaha.

It took me a while to decide on which 3 designs to purchase because they were all pretty! And when I came back to the stall the young lady smiled and said "oh you're back!" These are the three designs that I chose:

Can't wait to use them and show some NOTD ;D

There's still more I want to blog about here but I've pretty much tweeted about them (since it's so much easier to do that, and faster!) so if you'd like to be more informed about things that have been happened to me, feel free to follow me on Twitter.

Lots of Love,
