Vassen Crystal Blue Circle Lens Review [Confetti]

Finally, part 4 of my 2013 Circle Lens roundup reviews!

First, here are the previous 3 reviews:
Part 1 - EOS Ice Violet
Part 2 – EOS Max Pure Blue
Part 3 - GEO Bambi (aka Princess Mimi) Almond

Now, let’s get to these pretty blue lenses!

I bought these lenses around September last year (my final CL purchase of the year) when I decided to cosplay SeeU for Armageddon. Sadly, I wasnt able to buy a commissioned dress, and being typical slow lazy me, exams crept up and I didn't end up sewing my own cosplay. I still have the fabric and all the accessories though, so I will do it this year!

Ok that was a big tangent. Back to the review!

I bought these lenses because I needed something very blue, but light, and doesn't have a big limbal ring. Even though she has a clear black limbal ring in her box cover illustration, her eyes are so blue that on cosplay, it wouldn't stand out if I used a lens with a dark ring.

I hunted ALL over the internet, and found the lightest, most limbal-less and large blue lenses I could find- Vassen Crystal Blue. Which are apparently also called i-Fairy Super Crystal Blue.

GEO Bambi Almond (Princess Mimi) Circle Lens Review [Confetti]

Hi there~ this is part 3 of my 2013 circle lens roundup reviews!



View my other 2013 CL reviews:

Part 1 - EOS Ice Violet

Part 2 - EOS Max Pure Blue

Part 4 - Vassen Crystal Blue


Now let’s begin!

Every year, I will buy at least one pair of lenses in a brownish sort of colorwhether it be more of a chocolate, caramel, or some other shade. Geo Bambi Almond was my brown for 2013

I bought it near the start of the year, and loved it so much that I didn’t feel the need to buy any more! If it weren’t for the fact that there are sooo many lenses on the market I haven’t tried yet, I would honestly just keep re-purchasing these lenses every year. Forever.

EOS Max Pure Blue Circle Lens Review [Confetti]

Hiya! This is part 2 of my 2013 Circle Lens roundup!

Part 4 – Vassen Crystal Blue



Now- to the review!

These were the first blue lenses of 2013. In earlier years, I had an obsession with green lenses and I would get a pair of green every year. But in 2012 (I think?) green lenses started looking really odd on me :’(

As much as I love green eyes, it was time to wave goodbye to those. And since I always loved grey lenses, and they worked well on me, I thought “well, why not try other cool colors, like blue?”

So in 2013, I went for this super super solid EOS Max Pure Blue pair of lenses, in my usual 14.5mm! (They are indeed very pure though, not so sure about the max...)

EOS Ice Violet Circle Lens Review [Confetti]

Hiya!


Today I will begin reviewing the four lenses I wore through 2013!

Since I am doing the roundup of my 2013 lenses all together, here are the links to the other 3 reviews:

Part 2 - EOS Max Pure Blue

Part 3 - GEO Bambi (aka Princess Mimi) Almond

Part 4 - Vassen Crystal Blue


Now let’s get to the review!


With my lenses from last year, some were opened a little earlier in the year, some a little later. I didn’t take many selfies last year that show my lenses well, so I don’t actually have many photos for all of them.

Photoshoot on Auckland Anniversary Day

Yesterday (the last monday of January?) is the annual Auckland Anniversary Day.

I stupidly thought that there would be no-one out on this day, and requested to do my photoshoot for PretzelPOP magazine at the beautiful and new(ish) Silo Park in downtown Auckland. It's a perfect location for the style of photos I wanted-

note: all taken off my pinterest board

But no. Silly me didn't realise ahead of time that Silo Park, the prettiest and most tourist-attracting place in town would be the prime location for hosting Auckland's anniversary festival.

Sometimes I feel like my brain is floating in some other dimension :/

Anyhow, my photographer yesterday (Anniv. Day) is from our uni photography club. It was the first time I got to work with someone from our uni, and omg the shoot was so fast. Like, is this how it should be? 'Cause I'm totally loving it >0<!! Plus, the photos came out suuuuuper nice. I've only seen them on the camera, at the shoot, but I bet when they've been processed they will be absolutely stunning eep!

Like, I kid you not, I felt like i was on one of these spreads:

*Sobs in happiness*

The photos may not be out for a while. They will come out on PretzelPOP first since I don't want to ruin the surprise of magazine spreads before the first issue comes out, but I will be blogging up any extra photos from the shoot ^^

SO MUCH HAPPINESS!!

Oh and new CLs for 2014 have been opened! Tried my first pair for this shoot. Reviews for these lenses will be out after my 2013 lens roundup :)

It's almost the end of January!?

Counting by days, we're only 2/3 through. But I've been counting in weekends since I started work, because that is the only time I'm home. There's only one weekend left before the end of January, and somehow that doesn't seem like nearly enough time to get done all the things I want to do!

This past weekend was yet again, spent going out till late, getting home late, and then sleeping till the afternoon. It's not what I wanted for this year to be like, but somehow I've been in this cycle for the past several weeks. Literally going out Friday and Saturday nights, and sleeping in the rest of the time. :(

On the bright side, I got to watch The Secret Life of Walter Mitty! I saw the trailer last month at another movie, and it seemed like a really adventurous story so I convinced my mom to go with me on Friday. The movie is everything I thought it would be, and I'm really glad I chose to watch it on the big screen instead of *getting it off a friend*. We ended the night by singing ktv till 3am, and so the partying weekend began.

Saturday was a friend's 21st birthday. I woke up really late so I thought I wouldn't make it since NZ busses are as rare as kiwi birds over the weekend. Luckily, a bus driver going to her district said he could give me a ride to her place when we reach the final stop, so I managed to get to her place with minimal walking! #happylazydays

Out of the half dozen things I wanted to do last week, I only managed to finish two, however the circle lens reviews I have taken photos for, so hopefully I can finish those through the week. I am also opening new lenses this week to use over the next 6 months! I love opening new lenses~~ >w<


Next weekend will be quite exciting. I have two photoshoots coming up, one for PretzelPOP (put together by Babycakesland), and one for Confetti so I'm really looking forward to working on those! Some other pretty pressing work has come up, but...I don't know how I'm going to fit those in at this point in time. Hopefully I will get those done early next month? ><;


Also, my clothes should be coming in the first half of next month!! I know it's pretty far off, but I'm just so excited I have to keep checking and looking at all the things I got LOL!! >0< OK I'll stop now. and just squeal in my own head and not spam everyone's fb newsfeed and other feeds with my excitement. ;w;

GEO Eyescream Review [Confetti]

disclaimer: all reviews on this blog are 100% our own opinions, even if the products are sponsored.



Hiya!

Today I am posting the long-awaited GEO eyescream review! This series consist of (brown)Chocomousse, (hazel) Vanilla Brown, and (gray) Rayray Gray lenses.

The lenses were sent to us by GEO coloured lenses in October *last year* during exam period, so we never got around to doing a full photoshoot for them ><

We considered leaving this review until Cora got back from Europe so that we could do a full shoot, but it’s just too far off ><

So yup, this review is just going to come from visually impaired me today!

GEO Eyes Cream series yay! Bottles are so kawaii~~



TBH when I first heard about these lenses, i expected some dreamy swirly super big and dolly lenses. And when I got the lenses, my first thought was “oh wow, they’re actually really natural…*insert disappointment*”

It’s actually been quite a while since i really splurged on GEO lenses, since I’ve been really after the OTT colors and super large lenses that don’t look natural at all. It’s actually quite nice to try these for a change!
