CIRCLE LENS REVIEW: GEO Wing series Honey color

OK, I have a circle lens review coming up!
I find it hard chosing circle lens I`ll like, because I have gray & green eyes.... and all the reviews are on brown/black eyes... So, if you know someone with light eyes doing circle lens reviews, let me know! I know that Shmuberry does many great reviews on light eyes, also Bloomzy and Mitsu have some great reviews/photos of circle lens on green/blue eyes. I also really like Alanna`s reviews, even though she has gorgeous brown eyes.
But, if you know more light eyed reviewers, let me know! \(☆_☆)/

************** onto the review **************

Currently I have 3 pairs of cirlce lens at home. I ordered all from Honey Color, with my own money, so this is not a sponsored post! (I would like to do a sponsored post too, though, why not? :D). I think I will break the review up into 3 post, one for each pair I have. Here`s my tiny circle lens collection:

daylight - it gets dark arly here now (T-T)
The lenses are GEO Nudy (Gray), GEO Wing (Honey) and GEO Angel (Blue).

flash! Again: GEO Nudy (Gray), GEO Wing (Honey) and GEO Angel (Blue)

And daylight on my hand, top one is GEO Nudy (Gray), and the bottom left is GEO Wing (Honey) and bottom right is GEO Angel (Blue). As you can see, the GEO Angel BLue is completely opaque, while GEO Nusy looks almost see through and GEO Wing is 50% opaque.

I ordered all 3 pairs from Honey Color, the shipping was fast and I have no complaints - they changed their website and send out more notifications and the contact is much better than it was 1 year ago. I had only positive experience with them so far. With every order they send you a cute circle lens case too, and they offer those adorable travel cases (I got one with my beloved Rilakkuma!) and they also sell some fake lashes. Check them out. :)

************** GEO HONEY WING review **************
Promotion photo:

So I decided to post review for GEO Wing lenses in Honey (brown). The lenses can be used for 1 year and are original, made in Republic of Korea, approved by Korea Food & Drug Administration and have ISO 13485 certificate. Specs:
Usage Modality:  Yearly
BC:  8.6 mm
DIA:  14.0 mm
Water content:  38%
Those lenses also come with prescription available, which is great news to me, as I have -0,75 in one eye and -1,25 in the other (-_-`). I really really want to get GEO Wing in blue and green too, but they don`t come in optical power, ah sadness. I think I still want to get them, I almost never wear glasses and got used to seeing things a bit blurry anyway, lol. Onto the photos and more info:

This is my natural eye color in daylight, I have gray-green eyes, although in some light it looks a bit blue, but it`s not, really. Also, no makeup.

No makeup, natural daylight, GEO Honey Wing IN. There is no black rim around the lens, but it has a brown rim - it looks quite natural in person. More than dark strong brown, the color of Honey Wings is honey/warm yellowish brown, I find it very nice. Probably it would dark irises look brighter and really pretty. It gives me sth like natural light brown eyes. The inside of the color design on the lens is definitely desinged for darker eyes, but I still find them prety natural looking and they blend well with my eye color!

No makeup and flash. See how bright and light the color is? 

And the silly looking one in one out photo. YOU CAN CLICK ON ALL PHOTOS AND SEE BIGGER SIZE! This is with flash, in natural light they look more natural. As you can seethere is enlargement, but only slight, nothing too dramatic, but it makes your irises look bigger, therefore, your whole face and eyes cuter.

 And with makeup*:
Sometimes they give a really tiny halo effect, which I personally love.
*my makeup is just MAC Retroscpeck and Phloof! under eyebrow and Blacktrack gel eyeliner and L`oreal Telescopic mascara. ^^v

Oh yeah, I cut my fringe and have tiny pieces of hair all over my face (=_=``) Please ignore! 
CLICK ON THE PHOTO to ZOOM!

And then whole face one in, one out, WITH FLASH:

Whole face, one in one out, no flash:
Daylight, it already started to get dark, sorry... BUT! See, it looks really natural! :)

GENERAL: I really really like those. They are very comfortable, I`d give them 8/10, sometimes I feel them, but I`ve worn them to work and going out, for the whole day and it was comfortable. I felt a bit uncomfortable at work, because I stare at a computer screen all the time and my eyes dry out fast, but otherwise, no problems. They give a small, natural enlargement and color. No thick black rim also makes them look more natural. The hole in the middle could be a little bit smaller or the blending more fitted to lighter eyes, but they still manage to look pretty natural in daylight/person. I would love to also get those in blue and green!!! <3
Overall, super cute circle lenses, definitely recommended if you want warm & cute brown eyes!
(On the left: GEO Honey Wing in candle light, lol! As I got a lot of IKEA candles that smell like vanilla cookies, nomnomnom... I prefer the candles over the cookies though!)

So, that is all!! I shall post reviews like this for GEO Angel Blue and GEO Nudy Gray soon. What photos should I add to my reviews? More info on sth would be nice? Let me know what you`d like to see in a good circle lens review and I`ll take it into consideration! ;))
Take care <333

☆ Some autumnっぽい shopping ☆

First post of November! I am planning to do a circle lens review post and post some looks with MAC's Venomous Villains mineralized eye shadows, but first... some things I ordered online today! Only two things, but very autumn-like :D

First, fluffy bag, shown here by Maichi from JELLY.

I got it in beige. <3

ALSO! I really really wanted to get this hat/scarf/gloves from LDS, but I had other things on my mind and then it was all sold out! ―(T_T)→ サクッ 
But! In the store newsletter (http://www.e-salus.jp) I saw that this store is selling something very similar! See below:
Ohh!! So as soon as I saw it I placed an order with the the help of my favorite shopping service (http://www.i-tm4u.biz/)! But I didn't want it in animal print, I wanted beige! But the light beige/ivory was sold out imidiately, but I got regular beige, this one:
Cute!! <3

FOTD: Halloween Makeup LIGHT

Yesterday I went to some Halloween party at a club, turned out it was a goth party and my and my friend dressed in all white laboratory coats XD Under the coat I just wore a mini dress and high heels and my makeup looked like this:


I kind of wish I could just wear funny clothes and do crazy makeup if  I feel like it every day... :D
Then I added circle lens and come cut up fake lashes, I also did makeup on my friend, putting tons of fake lashes on him was sooo much fun xD But anyway, just went in for a couple hours, spent some time and went home early - going home today, to see parents. 

I really like small curls :D


 I used She Who Dares MAC Mineralized eye shadow for the eye line, and Urban Decay`s glitter liners.
 After homing home it was still all in place
Happy Halloween!

INGLOT mini haul - lip gloss (swatches & review) and nail polish

Hello everybody!
Yesterday while waiting for a friend, I just went to kill some time in INGLOT and only get 1 (ONE) orange-red nail polish. Well, that was the plan anyway.... ;) 

After 15 minutes I came out with those new things. :D

Nail polishes * 3 and Lipglosses *2. 

All of those things were 19pln each, which is around 6,5USD each (when 1$ = 2,8pln). Here in Poland INGLOT is a really affordable brand with quite good quality. :) I hear especially their customised eye shadow palettes are popular, but I have yet to try them. For me, the best thing from INGLOT is definitely the nail polishes, great choice of color and great quality, they also come out with seasonal collections. Overay yay. :D The red one is the orange-red I wanted in the first place. It is red, but with orange undertones, not pink-red, red-red nor dark-red, orange-red, like a ripe tomato :D I am wearing it today and I love it. The pink one is just cute and the brown is from their new mini collection of 3 brown shades. Nice and autumn-ish, right? I will post swatches after I try all the colors on.


Those are INGLOT's lipglosses called "sleeks", in small, chemical laboratory like packaging. They have 6ml of products, a twist of top and a doe applicator. I would say those are MAC's cremesheen type glosses, glossy but also have a nice color payoff.


#97 and #96

#97on lips and my FOTD today

flash / no flash

Also I am wearing "My dark magic" from MAC's Maleficient, Venomous Villains collection on my eyes :D Sorry, I am so tired today... (=_=') I really love the eyeshadow, but it creases on me a lot :x Help?

OVERALL: I think the gloss is cheap, has funny packaging and a nice selection of colors. Color payoff is good, it smells great (like cotton candy!) and the color 97 one is a perfect strawberry milk kind of color for cute makeup, helps create a nudy lip like Tsubasa often has. I would say it is a cheaper alternative to Matsuwaka Tsubasa's new lipgloss line or MAC's Cremesheep glosses, and with the color 96 one you can achieve a look like this:

(Ah, so adorable~ I want long hair back too! ^^*)
One MINUS is definitely: it doesn't stay on lips too long, but with that nice smell reapplying is actually OK! (^_^*)/ So, this is my first time ever trying out INGLOT's lip gloss and for the price it is quite good. I like the cute candy colors and the smell and the price. (For example one MAC cremesheen gloss costs 5 times more than this INGLOT gloss here in Poland! (X_x'')) They could have better lasting power, but it's not that bad. I really want to try out Tsubasa's gloss line next though! :D Any reviews online??

Some other things I saw recently for your viewing pleasure:

This is way down south the river in Warsaw. When I was visiting my friends. :D 
So autumn-y! We will have a  summer --> winter time change this weekend. I hope I don't forget!
