REVIEW: Puffy 3 Tone Blue/Shinny Aqua Lenses

I've purchased circle lenses before, but I have to say that the Puffy 3 Tone/Shinny Aqua ones are my 
favorite so far. 


As usual, Candylens packs their lenses in a cute little box and every pair comes with a cute lens case. This time it's a pig, I think?



Here's the lenses in the lens case, waiting to be worn :) Most circle lens companies tell you to soak your new contacts in solution for a few hours before wearing, so I always do just in case.




They actually look brighter in pictures than they do in person, but they show up really well on my dark brown eyes. I wish my eyes were naturally this color! 


Even though they show up well, they actually look very natural in person! Out of the three pairs of lenses that I have so far these are the most natural looking while still causing a drastic change in eye color.
They also (as the name implies) are more than one color and they actually have almost a light greenish/yellowish around the center where your pupil shows up. This too also helps to make them look more natural.


They are also surprisingly comfortable and I can wear them for quite a few hours without discomfort. 


So far, these are my favorite lenses that I've purchased and I will most likely be trying another of the Puffy 3 Tones series very soon. (Possibly the Gray?)

REVIEW: Gothic Lolita Wigs, Daily Doll Collection Golden Blonde Mix

After a long time of debating, I finally decided to buy my first wig. Or well, I guess I should say wigs plural since Gothic Lolita Wigs was having a 2 for 20% off sale at the time so I had to get more than one :)



Here's the wig as it arrived, all neat and tidy in a little bag. The wig caps were also included. 

When I took the wig out of the bag, it was wrapped in a little net that helped keep the hair contained during shipping. This is the tag that was on it! 






There's a few pictures of me camwhoring wearing the wig. I'm still not sure if that light of a blonde is my color with my pale skintone, so I'll probably be on the hunt for an even better blonde wig. 

Overall, the wig was super nice and arrived very quickly. The color looked very natural, since it had highlights and lowlights which made it look like it was real hair. The only thing I didn't like was the bangs. They were a bit too long for my tastes (as I usually prefer straight across bangs) and look kind of strange when pushed to the side. I might decide to eventually trim them.

REVIEW: Geo Angel Brown Circle Lenses

Recently I bought my second ever pair of circle lenses, and after the first pair being my Honoo Green ones (you can read the review for those HERE) I thought I'd try to get a more natural color pair for everyday use.


I saw that the Geo Angel Brown Lenses were a top seller on Candylens, so I figured I'd give them a try. Here are the results! 


As usual, they arrived in super cute packaging and with a free lens case. This time it was a pink hippo one! :) 


Here's the actual lenses in the case. When I first saw them, I worried that the dark black ring around the edge would be really noticeable but it seems I worried for nothing. 


This is the actual lens in my eye. As you can see, my eye color actually almost matches the lens exactly so it definitely achieved that more natural look I was going for. I also love the enlargement, although it does seem slightly smaller than some of the other lenses. I have really small eyes, so I like as much enlargement as possible without it looking totally fake. These fit what I wanted EXACTLY. 




Overall, I really like these lenses. The only problem I've been having with them (and granted, I've only had them in twice so far) is the comfort. They feel slightly less comfortable than my Honoo ones, and I took them out after an hour or two of having them in. It could just be my eyes, or that maybe I didn't put enough eye drops in.. I don't know. Either way, they're still great lenses and definitely worth the buy! You can purchase them HERE.
Happy shopping!
