Vassen Cloud Nine Blue Circle Lenses Review

A little over a month ago I was very lucky and won a giveaway from Go Hálainn and sponsored by LoveShoppingholics. The lenses I picked were the Vassen Cloud Nine Blue lenses.

If you don’t follow Go Hálainn, you should definitely check her out! She has some awesome reviews and posts ^_^.

Yes, shameless car selfie ;). My lenses looked really cool in the sunlight when I was riding around town with the family, so I couldn’t resist. Moving right along. Let me just say, everything about this package was beyond adorable! When you open the envelope, this is the first thing you see. Cute, right? The case and lenses were wrapped super securely in bubble wrap. I love the attention they put into packing. There was a cute little thank you note as well.   Everyone who purchases lenses from their website gets free animal case, which is awesome. I got little green hippos. I don’t even know why they are so cute, but they are!   I will say that I absolutely hate opening these little glass vials, but at least you know that your lenses are hella secure. This is the first time that I actually opened one without cutting myself or having to get creative. Just be warned that you can cut yourself on the metal security seal. Be sure that you are opening the cap in the correct direction to make it easier for yourself. Alright, not on to the lenses themselves. Here are the specs:

• Origin: Korea
• Diameter: 14.5 mm
• Water Content: 38%
• Base Curve: 8.6 mm
• Life Span: 1 Year (I don’t think it’s safe to keep them that long, personally)

The lenses are only 14.5, but the enlargement makes a pretty big difference on me. My eyes are relatively large anyway, so these definitely make me look more dolly. Here is what the lenses look like without any makeup. Aren’t these lenses pretty?

 

 

I love that the blue shows up so clearly on my dark brown eyes. They look so cool! As far as comfort goes, I would give these a 5/5. After about 5 minutes, I can’t even feel them anymore and my eyes only started to feel a little dry after 5-6 hours. That’s really good for me as contacts tend to dry my eyes out really easily. These are my first blue lenses and I think I’m in love ^_^.

You can buy the lenses here.

Would you wear lenses like these?

CL 2ne1 “Gotta be You” Inspired Makeup

I think I’ve forgotten how much fun it is to wear full makeup! I work in a church, so I mostly wear a more natural look. But tonight I decided I was going to have some fun ^_^.

If you haven’t seen the newest 2ne1 music video, “Gotta be You,” you should watch it now! It’s not one of their most upbeat songs, but I love it.

As usual, the styling is amazingly on point and the girls look absolutely gorgeous! I really liked Minzy and CL’s makeup especially.

 

Even though their makeup looks are really similar, I liked CL’s just that little bit more ;).

 

I wish I still had my blonde hair for this cover look, but my Senegalese twists look cool with this, I think.

 

So, this was definitely a lot of fun! I love a good winged eyeliner and it made me feel super fierce ;).

And speaking of eyeliner, CL and I have just a little bit of a difference in eye shape. If I tried to make it look exact, the eyeliner would be super~~~ thick because of my deep eye creases.

It’s always important to keep in mind your own face shape and features when trying a new/different look.

Here is a list of the products I used:

• Tony Moly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream
• Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation in “Sand 1w2”
• Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Watery Cheek in #03
• Covergirl Smoothers Concealer in “Neutralizer”
• Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner
• Maybelline Rocket Volume Express Mascara
• Wet n’ Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain in “A Stiff Pink”

My lenses, I actually won in a giveaway from LoveShoppingholics and Go Hálainn! I was super excited to win and even more excited to see how awesome they look on my eyes. I will do a full review on the lenses in a couple of days.

Here is a closer picture so you can see the lenses better.

To say I love them is an understatement! I think I might wear them to Mass in the morning for the heck of it ^_^.

I leave you with these gems.

 

What can I say? I got bored and my sister kept laughing at me.

 

If you’ve seen the video, let me know what you think! 😀
