Review: Geo Fresh Color Grey FC-725

Oh gosh....this review is so freaking late that I'm ashamed to be even writing this now. Geocolouredlenses must be so angry and hate me to bits right now. -hides- 

But hey, better late than never right? Right? Hehe. 

Anyways, I received this pair of lenses from Geocolouredlenses a while back. And by a while back, I mean like decades ago. A lot was going on with me when I had received them so I had pushed it to the side and totally forgot all about them. 

I don't remember the exact timing of shipment but I do remember I got my package pretty quickly. For overseas, it was pretty darn quick. Everything was safely wrapped. I can't stress enough of how important it is to have items securely. So many sellers just put it in an envelope and stuff can get smashed! 

So as you can tell from the title, today I'll reviewing the Geo Fresh Color Grey FC-725 which can be purchased here. The reason why I chose this pair is because I remember vaguely using a pair from the Fresh Color series a while back and I liked it a lot. So, decided to try it in a different color. In the past, I was so obsessed with huge circle lenses and now...I love natural looking ones. I cannot stand people with huge dolly lenses, it just creeps me out. 

A little bit about the Geo Fresh Color Grey FC-725:

Diameter: 14.2mm 
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Water Content: 38%
Life Span: Yearly

14.2 diameter is the perfect size of circle lens in my opinion. It gives your iris a bit of enhancement but nothing too crazy. 

What I specifically love wearing this pair of lenses for is for days where I want to wear minimal to no makeup. (This was the theme for these review photos). This pair of lenses is so natural that people will not realize that it's not your actual eyes! (MUAHAHAHA)

These contacts just gives your eyes a bit of life to them because let's face it, everyone's natural eyes without makeup is not that lively or bright. 

Now I'm the type of person to feel really insecure going out without makeup but wearing these really boosts up my confidence. Now that's gotta say something, right?

I just can't stop gushing about how natural they look but still so dang gorgeous on the eyes. Idk. Kinda obsessed. Makes me mad for leaving these pair of lenses to the side for so many months. 

A sidenote I'd like to mention is that the lenses do slide a bit out of my natural iris when looking to the side. So if someone were to stand close to me, they'd notice that it isn't my natural eyes because you can see the lenses moving. It isn't a big deal but just providing my honest opinions/thoughts. 

Thank you all for reading! Please be sure to check out Geocolouredlenses if you are looking to buy circle lenses! Everything on their site is legitimate so don't be afraid. All are real because the lenses come with an authenticity sticker from GEO company itself.

My deepest apologies to Geocolouredlenses again for taking ages to complete this review. Yikes I feel so bad.

Review: Etude House Dreaming Swan Value Kit

Hello guys! It's been so long since I've last posted on here. But no worries, today I'm back with a review on Etude House's most recent collection, Dreaming Swan.

Dreaming Swan is a collection Etude House collaborated with Kerrie Hess. If you guys don't know, she is a fashion illustrator that has worked with Chanel. Chanel, guys! When I first saw the promotion pictures for this collection, I was in absolute awe. Now you guys know I always how Etude House has the cutest packaging. But this time, it's more than just cute. I would consider this collection's packing to be very sophisticatedly pretty. Yep. That is the term to describe.

Anyway, in the Dreaming Swan collection, it consists of; lipsticks, eyeshadows/blushers, shine volumers, veiling pact, nail polishes, a tapered brush, a makeup pouch, and any cushion cases.

Today I have to share with you all the Value Kit in this collection. This consists of a makeup pouch, lipstick, and eyeshadow/blusher. Buying this set would save you money rather than buying the pieces separately. I think it's very smart of Etude House to introduce value kits. I hope they will continue to have value kits in upcoming collections.

Let's just all take a moment and appreciate the beautiful packaging. Like, this is just gorgeous.

On one side of the box, it tells you what to expect in this value kit.

Here is what the makeup pouch looks like. It's a circular kind of pouch, very different from your typical makeup bag. But I like it, it's cute and unique. You can actually store anything you like, it doesn't necessarily have to be makeup. I'd suggest storing jewelry inside just because the outside looks very dainty and girly.

So when you zip open the pouch, you'd see the interior is a floral print. You'd also see the lipstick laying there. Then you're probably think, "Wait. Where is the eyeshadow/blusher?" Heh. I'll tell you in a bit.

Aha. It's actually removable! The top layer can be taken out to store other things down under. Or not. All depends on you.

Anyway. So there houses your eyeshadow/blusher product. 

So let's go back talking about the lipstick. If you are familiar with Etude House's regular lipstick line (Dear My Blooming Lips-talk) That is the formula/packaging. I was rather disappointed that its the Dear My Blooming Lips-talk because I much love and prefer the Dear My Lips Wish version. But it's okay! 

It's in the same formula and same packaging  but if you look closely, it's a tad different. This is in a matte casing whereas the regular Dear My Blooming Lips-talk is in a shiny case. The ribbon on here is white whereas the regular lipstick is in a pink ribbon. Slight differences!

The packing describes this lipstick as...."This is chiffon lipstick with a silky texture that glides lightly onto lips with a smooth and powdery finish." Btw, this shade is in OR225. 

If you've been following me for a while, then you must know my heart goes to coral lipsticks. Actually anything coral-- I love. This lipstick hits the heart. It's a beautiful coral color that's perfect for this season. The tube you can see it filled with ballet shoes and there's a heart engraved in the lipstick. I wish instead of the heart there, it's a ballet shoe to match. 

Returning back to the second product in the pouch, is the eye/blusher. Etude House says you can use this as an eyeshadow or a blusher. Multi-purpose, yay!

The product is described as, "This is an eyeshadow and blusher with a silky primer powder that gently covers up proves and provides a blurring effect for smooth cheeks and lovely eyes."  The color shade is #02 pointe coral. 

I literally screamed when I opened up the tin can packaging. Look at this puff! OHMYGOSH. IT'S SO PRETTY!!! Anyways, as pretty as it is it's only going to be eye candy purposes. I never use puffs included in products. 

When you take out that ridiculously gorgeous puff out, there is the product.  It's engraved with the dreaming swan logo and also a ballerina (well, half of a ballerina). Despite the company calling it coral, I wouldn't call it a coral. It's more of a peachy pink-- leaning more on the pink side. It's still a pretty shade though.

If you're wondering, "What the heck Patricia, you didn't do any swatches or anything????" That is because I'm planning to do a tutorial or so featuring this collection. Be on the lookout for that. As always, thanks for reading!
