[Review] Pinky Paradise Contact Lenses Review

I purchased two contact lenses from Pinkypardise.com (click here): Geo Angel Brown (USD 19.90) and Wonder Eye Grey (USD 22.90). I ordered them on September 27th and they arrived on October 5th, which I consider was super fast. 


Mine came through large yellow FedEx envelope (of which I didn't take pictures of, for privacy reasons :c) with bubble wrap. I opened the envelope and was very surprised to see how many items I received as gifts.

As I mentioned before, I only purchased two contact lenses which were wrapped in red. The rest came as gifts. Yes. Gifts. They included:

 Two cute animal lens cases
(one is a piggie and another is a hippo :D)

 A Holloween-Themed Voodo Doll... pumpkin, I guess?
(which turned out to be one of the surprise gifts for purchasing two lenses)

A Collagen Crystal Eye Bag Mask

And two pieces of velcro hair holder

(I was actually thinking of buying these on e-Bay!
This was my favourite for sure!)

And here are my contact lenses :)
Carefully wrapped and secured, although FedEx bubble wrap would've been reliable protection already. I loved how Pinkypardise.com really made me feel like a valuable customer *tears*.

The pairs were so tightly wrapped and secured that
I had to cut off the tape around in order to rescue the pair.

This was my first time opening one of these containers (because I've previously used Acuvue Daily Contacts) and, to tell the truth, I really struggled to open the first container, but I learned how to open these caps and really had no trouble opening these anymore.

Find the direction from the cap can be opened.

Take the metal part off of the container.

This white foam was easy to open.

This pair was my prescribed Wonder Eye Grey (USD 22.90).

This was how my Wonder Eye Grey look like.

I realized that the outer rim gives breathtakingly dreamy and enlarged effect to your eyes whereas the the grey-coloured inner rim beautifully accentuates your iris (surface around your pupil).

Here's my prescribed Geo Angel Brown (USD 19.90).

This is how the contact lens looks like.

The outer rim was not as thick as Wonder Eye Grey but still gives dreamy and enlarged effect. The the inner rim looks rather thin but that's because of the curvature of the container. It completely covers your iris and creates light brown-coloured iris for Asian eyes (Dark brown eyes to medium dark brown eyes).

I took a picture of one without contacts and one with contacts for comparison.

I'm wearing Wonder Eye Grey in this picture. It reeeeeeeeeeeally has enlarging effect.

It doesn't really bother much but it starts to feel uncomfortable and dries out after 5 hours or so. But of course, you shouldn't wear it longer than that :)

So here are my pictures wearing the contacts (this is me without my make-up.......)

I will update more pictures with Geo Angel Brown soon!

I hope this review was helpful and if you want more reviews on circle (or coloured) contact lenses and more make-up tutorials, please subscribe to my blog or follow me on Twitter (both available on the right column of this blog!)

[Tutorial] Starry Night

I came up with this make-up named "Starry Night", inspired by Van Gogh's masterpiece.

(Credit: Click here for the enlarged view of Starry Night)

Although I know nothing about art, it's a masterpiece of my all time favourite.

I love drawings or paintings that look like a real-life image or scenery but Van Gogh was an artist who led me to open my eyes to the world of abstract art.

Dark navy shade (although it looks black) was to create as the night sky, while golden eyeshadow was to create the stars and the moon. This make-up is great for club night but also great for day-time make-up with lighter intensity.

So, let's begin! 

The first two steps are just like the Trip To El Dorado" (Click here for the link to the tutorial): use GL02 (Missha The Style Metallic Eyeshadow) on both the inner corner and the lower eyelid. 

Then, apply MAC's Woodwinked on the outer corner. 

If you want more dramatic look, apply Woodwinked to crease and blend it upwards.  

Then, take Almay Eyeshadow Trio Smoky in Smoky Blue and 

add the deep blue shade on top of Woodwinked (outer corner and crease).

Brush off the excess and, using a fluffy brush, 

blend the border of all three shadows on the centre of the eyelid.

I always had problem with lighting but this is the closest-to-real-life shade :)

So that's the end of Starry Night.

I used warm-coloured nude pink lipstick to finish off the look and 

minimized the use of blush to attract people's attention towards my eyes.

[Tutorial] Trip to El Dorado

Hey everyone! I decided to upload a tutorial named "El Dorado". As I mentioned in previous posts, I accidentally deleted my "how-to" photos but I used GL02 (Missha The STyle Metallic Shadow) on the inner corner of my eyes and finished it off with MAC's Woodwinked on the outer corner. If you want a look with great depth, then apply Woodwinked to define crease and outer corner and blend it upwards to the crease. I used gel eyeliner to finish off. MAC: Blitz & Glitz.

I also added some Missha eyeshadow on the centre of the lower lashline.

Sorry for the rush-through tutorial but these pics were the only ones I could restore.

Everything else was lost :P
