Overview of GEO Circle Lenses: Tearful Series

G'day everyone! I've been blogging like a maniac these days. I just really want to the overviews of the GEO lenses over and done with and hopefully it's helpful for everyone who's looking forward to make a purchase on GEO Circle Lenses.

If you haven't checked out my previous posts, please do:

• Angel Series
• Nudy Series
• Olive Series
• Two-Tone & Tricolor (Three Tone) Series

I think this is the last post that I will do for the overview and will be about the Tearful Series.

GEO Tearful (CM-838 and CM-839)

This series is perhaps, a long-lost forgotten series. I'm sure it had its time when it was all popular and all, same thing applies to the black circle lenses.

Not many people know of this series, but this was my second pair of circle lenses from when I started off. I was lured by the name 'Tearful' which is suppose to make your eyes look 'teary', no doubt.

Unlike other series, this series comes in the most natural colours: brown and grey!

There's really not much to say about this series, however, for pictures, click here >

Analysing into the design.. this series consist of a black border/rim, as you see. However, the black rim in this series are NO where as harsh as the Angels. It's very subtle and not that attention-capturing when worn, so therefore, you should have nothing to worry about.

There's three slanting flares from the rims and this is suppose to make your eyes looks 'teary', I suppose. This is a very unique design and is alot different from other series. It's quite unexplainable, but this series makes your eyes look really cool!

Definitely not recommended for people who look for a cover-up of their eye colours. However, this series is definitely going to enhance your eyes quite naturally.

Now, I have this is Tearful Brown, and as you may know, my eyes are not the darkest out of all eyes... when wearing Tearful Brown, I can see that the slanted flares is quite light, therefore, I do NOT recommend Tearful Brown for you if you have a dark eye colour.

If you have a darker eye colour, I recommend gray! It's a fun colour that will compliment your eye color more, instead of contrasting! However, if you like brown, go ahead!

On the other hand, if you have lighter eyes, you can play with both! Hooray!

This series offer:

• Subtle eye-enlargement
• Natural eye-colour enhancement

This is an overview of GEO Tearful series. All products were bought by ME. This is NOT a sponsored post. Please consider that this is within my experience and opinions, therefore, it matters from people to people.

Like I said, there's really not much to say about this series.. However, if you have any questions, please leave a comment!

I dont think I've missed any series.. unless you want a review of the animation series LOL jokes.

Hope that this post was helpful for all your circle lenses junkies!

Saturday/Sunday Steals #2

Hello everyone!!! :D

Thank you for your sweet sweet comments on my previous post! Honest has made my day :)

About the double eyelid tapes, I'll review them sometime soon! Or maybe just ramble on.

As you know, I go markets with my mum on Saturday and Sunday. Waking up quite early :) Man.. I should really be doing my assessment HAHA Not blogging! But I can't help it :P I love blogging!

Anyways, this week, I only went on Sunday because I stood up SO late on Friday night so I was quite tired. This is what I've grabbed.

How do I wear this? :$

This blazer, I think is VERY decent. It has no tears or anything.

It's like from store but without a tag. I don't know its RRP, but I got it for $5!

And I've also got 2 x 3/4 sleeved V-neck shirts for $2/ shirt and another black and white sleeved short for $2 too! I don't have pics because they're going in the wash first!

So I grabbed a blazer and 3 sleeved shirts for $12! The lady gave me $1 off, so that totals $11!

Oh, how much more of a deal can I really ask for?

That's all for today! Have a good night!

Yours deerest,

P.S. Sigma is having quite a few interesting deals on their special deals page! Have you checked?

My take on Gyaru makeup heh!

As you may or may not know... gyaru make-up is something I've always wanted to try! I love their look in general. So cute!

It's basically big lashes, big eyes, small lips and pink cheeks! I love their natural and clean eye make-up. As easy as it looks, I think it can become quite hard because that just means mistakes will become more obvious! And you'll also need to focus on very very clean and defined eyeliner.

Sorry galz! But this is my take on the gyaru-look. I really don't think it looks gyaru but I was totez inspired by Eki! I love her simple and clean everyday make-up.

I'd call this a gyaru, if not, an Eki-inspired.

If it's neither, then we shall call it a failed-gyaru attempt.

I started off with big false lashes and nude lips. And I was like... SOMETHING'S MISSING BRO.

How could I possibly forget the blush?!

I added a rosy pink blush, maybe a little bit too much... and also added a tint of pink to the beige lip colour... so there you go pink lips!

And adding more colours to the eyes...

Hehehehehe does it look anything like gyaru? Is there anything I'm missing?

To me, it kinda looks like just average defined look with rosy cheeks... Maybe I should make the lashes bigger and eyes more droopier next time?!

Oh, I don't know! Someone please tell me!

Need to go pack for TAFE now.. Bye!!

Oh & and as you're here, can you tell me which type of posts are you looking forward to? Reviews? Rambles? Rants? Factual articles like this?

I'm planning to post about product's textures that will suit your skin types/conditions. Anyone interested? Does anyone read my blog? ANYONE?!

Hahaha I'm just kidding! Post for you soon!

Overview of GEO Circle Lenses: Two-Tone Series + Three Tone (World) Series

After laying off a few posts about circle lenses, don't be lazy now!! :D

I've came up with this idea of overviewing GEO Circle Lenses. If you haven't checked out my previous posts, please do:

• Angel Series
• Nudy Series
• Olive Series

I think that I've made such a big accomplishment. Haha. I find that these posts, I've been so informative and including every teeny-tiny bit of information that you NEED to know, if you plan to make a purchase.

Today's post will be about about GEO 2-tones and GEO 3-tones.

GEO 2-tones (CM-72*)

The GEO 2-tone series is available in 5 different colours, the usual: purple, blue, green, brown and grey.

The GEO 2-tones consist of no black rim/border on the outside, nor does it offer much eye-enlargement within its own design.

I actually haven't ever had a chance to try out these lenses! I really wish I did though! Gahhh... I really can't tell you what the colours are like and anything else :(

What I can tell you is that.. these lenses SHOULD offer a natural look with no dolly-look & eye-enlargement. Why? Because these are the traits of 3-tones which is based on the same design, however with an extra tone (colour).

GEO 2-tones (CM-90*)

The usual, the GEO 3-tones is available in five different colours. This series is also known as the 'World Series' and probably most heard as the 'Tri-colours'. Sounds cool, hey?

The Tri-colour design differs to other series in many many ways! Let's state... this series:

• has NO outer rim/border: therefore it does NOT make your eye looks too harsh! This means that it offers NO dolly-look. If you're looking for a dolly look, this is definitely not for you.
• consist of three-tones in the design, hence its name '3-tones'. The design consist of a darker tone, a lighter tone and a common neutral brown/yellow across all 5 shades of the series.
• consist of a yellowish-brown colour from the centre across ALL shades. Why? Because GEO/the designer believed that the brown from centre will look like the colour of your brown eyes slowly transiting to blue, purple, brown, etc. Because of this feature, many people believe that this series will offer the MOST natural look.
• offers NOT MUCH enlargement. Not because it doesn't have a black rim. Not at all. The design just doesn't offer much enlargement AT ALL. If you're look for enlargement, this is not for you.
• offers the MOST natural look.

In the end, this series offers:

- Natural look (NO eye-enlargement/dolly-look)

This is the easiest series to pull off without make-up. You definitely won't need defined eyes or anything like that. Nothing at all! Why? Because the it offers no eye-enlargement and the colours are SO subtle and easy to wear.

----------------------------------------------------------------

THIS POST ABOUT 3-TONES WILL NOT HAVE PICTURES AS I'VE ALREADY DONE A PREVIOUS REVIEW. I HAVE LINKED YOU THE POSTS.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Everything I know about this series:

*I have to say 3-tone Grey is the MOST popular pair of grey out of ALL series. I'm not sure how great is the colour's pay-off. But when you wear this, it will definitely show that you're wearing grey contacts! If you're searching for a natural lookin' grey, I recommend 2-tones and 3-tones grey! Raeview wore this pair in her latest video.

*Looking for a hazel-pair of contacts? 3-tone Brown is for you! I'm unsure how great the colour pay off is, but this is your hazel-eyes. Don't even bother with Angel Brown, Nudy Brown and Olive Brown if you're really looking for hazel-eyes. Do your research gals!

*Argh... 3-tone green! Here is my previous post of 3-tone Green. It definitely does have a great colour pay-off with minimum lighting. I do recommend if you're looking for a natural green. Not sure how this series will compete with other recent released series though.

*Tricolor Blue is my FAVOURITE! It offers such a NATURAL look! I can't stress over how natural it is! You won't see it with dull lighting, however it would look great in flash photography, dance lightings, sunlight and anything else with decent lighting! I love love love it! So natural. The colour isn't as light as Nudy Blue though. It's kind of dark. My previous post had a pic comparison between Tricolour & Nudy, etc.

*I'm not really sure about Tricolour Purple. I really have nothing to say! :$

Overview:

I do recommend this series if you're looking for the most natural look. Although circle lenses are meant to enlarge your eyes, this series kinda defeats the purpose. It offers VERY little eye-enlargement. I don't recommend if you're looking for an illusion of larger eyes.

Two-tones vs Three-tones

Although, 3-tones has the yellowish-brown in the centre of each colour lens.. I don't understand how it would offer more of a natural look. Each person has a different shade of brown eyes, not to mention that the yellowish-brown colour is so much lighter above average anyways. I don't see how it can blend into our natural eye colours. Do you get my drift?

So... two-tones or three-tones?

That's all totally up to you.

This is an overview of GEO 2-tone and 3-tone series. All products were bought by ME. This is NOT a sponsored post. Please consider that this is within my experience and opinions, therefore, it matters from people to people.

I'm afraid you haven't found this post so helpful. However, if any questions, please leave me a comment! Anything! Talk to me, my lovely readers! Lol :)

I think last & next up are the Tearful series! Has anyone even heard of them?

Skin Care Routine & Changes + Double Eyelid Tape

Skin. Care. Routine. Yes. Everyone of us has a daily skin care routine which consists of many different products to suit our skin type/conditions.

So I'm extremely happy to share with you my daily skin care routine for you today! First off, explaining to you my skin type/conditions of course.

Initially, I have extremely oily skin and severe acne as a condition. However, as I'm on RoAccutane, my skin has became severely dry with occasional breakouts.

Anyways, a routine typically follows as: cleansing, exfoliating, toning and moisturizing.

Of course, that's not always the case. You can always add extra steps such depending on what's up with your skin. For example, if you wear make-up, you would need extra products such as eye-makeup removers, make-up removers, facial wipes, facial peels, serums etc.

So here's my skin routine to suit my extremely dry skin. I hope you find this helpful for you too!

For the previous fewer months, I've been using B.Liv Drench Me by Cellnique which is a gel-based cleanser. I find myself having to use their moisturizer booster and then ANOTHER moisturizer over the top to make my skin look less drying. However, it still flakes during the day.

So recently, I've switched to a cream-based cleanser by Neutrogena, Deep Clean Cream Cleanser which is Oil-Free. I find that the cleanser works best for me. My dry skin has got much less flakier than before. So I've been neglecting Drench Me, yes.

I don't exfoliate THAT often, however, when I do, I do switch choices between St. Ives Ultra Gentle Apricot Scrub and MAC Microfine Refinisher. I do reach out for my MAC Microfine Refinisher more often though. I like that I can see my dead skin cells being scrubbed away better than nothing at all.

On another note, after cleansing in the morn', I apply my QV Face Moisturising Day Cream SPF30+ and then top it off Dove's Essential Nutrients Protective Tinted Moisturizer SPF15.

Why so many?

Because my skin is THAT dry and the tinted moisturizer will have a flaky finish. This bothers me! I can't tend to get that 'perfect canvas' to go on with my foundation routine (but that doesn't stop me).

I'm loving this routine, because my foundation doesn't end up flaky anymore... bye bye dry skin!

Just by changing to a cream cleanser and adding another moisturizer has helped my skin so much! Love it!

For anyone who has extremely dry skin, I do hope that you pick out some of the products and do a good research about it. And hopefully it will help you too!

I hope that you enjoyed reading this post!

On another-nother note, I have recently purchased this! Double Eye Lid Tape! Cheap ones! I'm gunna use these cheap ones first and see how it goes :) Then I''ll then decide to invest in anymore or not.

Is that suppose to say Shiseido? LUL

Anyways, this is what I look like with it on! I love double eyelids 8)

ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!

Yes, there's a difference. I do have double eyelids naturally. However, they are quite small. I'd like my eyelids to be a bit more thicker... just enough so you can see my eyeliner when I like my eyes :)

Because when I line my eyes without these tapes, my eyelids almost shows up as monolids...

Yes! That's all!

Remember to shower me with lovely tweets!! :D http://twitter.com/the_beautifool

Overview of GEO Circle Lenses: Olive Series

Previously, I have posted about the Angel Series and the Nudy Series, so here is my analysis on the Olive Series.

I'm quite glad that I didn't put together ALL series into one post, else that'd be the longest essay/post I'll ever stumbled across and wrote.

So anyways, about the Olive series.

GEO Olive (OL-10*)

The GEO Olive Series is also most of the time known as the 'Wing Series'. In my last post, I forgot to mention to you that the Nudy Series is also sometimes known as the 'Nudy Quarters', but that should be fairly obvious.

Back to Olives, it initially came in four colours only. However, last year, they have released Olive Green to add to the collection which codes OL-103.

This series consist of a similar design to the Angels. They both have a rim/border and also rays coming out from their centre. However, the colour of the rim around each Olive design corresponds to the main colour itself. I'm not sure if that makes sense, I apologise for my super-duper bad English.

What I'm trying to say is that, Angel series ALL has a black rim, however, Olive Brown has a brown rim, Olive Purple has a purple rim and so on...

I really hope my English wasn't this terrible :(

I only have one pair from this series which is Olive Brown, so I really cannot tell you if other colours gives a great payoff or not and stuff like that. Reason for being is, when I sold GEO Lenses, my customers don't really look into the Olive series, mainly because the Angel, Nudy and Tri-colours are so much more wanted at the time. Adding to that, I didn't stock many Olives.

So here's my opinions and views on the Olive Brown, which you can take into consideration if you decide to purchase other colours, okay?

*Olive Brown (OL-104)

I really like this pair from the Olive Series. The light-brown colour on this particular pair matches my eyes so well, and I have fairly light eyes. I don't consider myself to have the darkest brown-eyed colour, however, not the lightest either. Probably some where in between the both. I love how this matches my eye colour, is comfortable to wear and offers me a VERY natural eye-enlargement.

Reason for it being not as harsh as the Angel series is for its lighter and more subtle colour and also having the frame around the design brown too makes it so much more wearable. I also LOVE that Olive Brown can be worn without makeup unlike other series [for my eye shape].

Also, as natural as it is, you surely WILL be able to spot it in flash photography and bright sunlight, just like any other pairs of contacts.

Flash photography

Outside/No direct sunlight

So I DO recommend Olive Brown for:

- People with lighter eyes who wants a natural eye-enlargement

- People with darker eyes who wants a some-what eye-enlargement + lighter coloured eyes. Keep in mind that if your eyes are darker, the lenses WILL show up on your eyes, so therefore, won't provide you the MOST natural, however, at least some-what natural.

- People who has brown eyes

I DO NOT recommend Olive Brown for:

- People who does NOT have brown eyes. I don't think that this series will give you a full coverage for your natural eye colour. Most likely, your natural eye colour will show up and it'll look funky that you have half-blue and brown eyes. So please take this into consideration.

- People with darker eyes who wants the same colour for their eyes, however, eye-enlarging at the same time.

- People who does NOT digg a natural look. Reason for listing this is because, some girls actually DO like to show people that they're wearing contacts. However, Olive Brown won't be the right pair for you if you have light eyes and want to show people that you're wearing contacts.

So overview of the series AGAIN!

*I have stated my experience with Olive Brown which is also known as Honey Wing.

*Olive Grey, on the other hand, is known as Ash Wing. Quite cool.

*Besides the two, there are no particular names for Blue, Green and Purple. And I do not know anything about the colour payoffs AT ALL.

Offers:

- Natural Eye Enlargement

- Semi-dolly look

Overview:

I personally LOVE Honey Wing to bits because it is SO natural on me, however, I haven't had a chance to try out other colours... 8(

Besides that, all recommendations and opinions are stated above. If compared to Angel Series, I DO prefer this more, because I'm not a gal who'd eyeliner and eyeshadow everyday 8(

This is an overview of GEO Olive/Wing Series. All products are bought by ME. This is NOT a sponsored post. Please consider that I have only tried Olive Brown/Honey Wing, so I cannot make a fair judgement over other colours of the series.

I apologise that the overview for this series is cut so short and not very informative! But afterall, if you're a girl who'd like the most natural light brown eyes, this is the pair you'd go for! I hope that helps you!

My next post will be either lip swatches, a review, nail tutorial or about skin! Tell me which one? Leave me a comment? Please tell me how this pic below looks! HAHA

Some people says its scary. Cool. Unique. Credits to KlaireDeLys.

Meanwhile, take care!

Back2Basic: Identifying your skin type & conditions.

Most of the time you will hear many people quote, "Make up is a form of art and our bare faces, is like a canvas to do so". However, it is an essential factor that you prime and take care of the bare canvas that you already have.

sourced >

In other words, it is important that you need to identify your skin type, skin condition, skin tone and any contra-indications. Let's break it down.

Note:

Epidermis acts as a barrier which protects the skin against the atmosphere.

Sebaceous glands are also known as oil glands.

1. Skin Types

You can analysis by sight and/or by touch. Make sure to check carefully around your eye areas for its elasticity so you can identify if whether you have any wrinkles or look skin. This will let you properly determine how much more support and extra care will be needed for your eye area.

Also, do remove ALL your make-up on your skin before the analysis as it can leave you an inaccurate answer -- not cool.

Now, feel your skin to see whether it's moist or oily, or dry -- another factor to jot down.

CHARACTERISTICS OF SKIN TYPES

Normal Skin:

- Rarest skin type

- Clear complexion & even skin colour

- Soft and supple to touch

- High degree of elasticity

- Average thickness of epidermis

Oily Skin:

- Over-active sebaceous (oil) glands

- Often has a shiny appearance

- Thick epidermis

- Open pores, often comedones present

- Sallow complexion

Dry Skin:

- Usually pale in colour

- Epidermis is thin, pores invisible

- Often looks flaky

- Has under active sebaceous (oil) glands

- Fine lines may appear prematurely

- Broken capillaries may be present

Combination Skin:

Combination skin is usually recognised by a greasy/oily T-zone, however that's not always the case. Combination skin can always be a combination of ANY skin type. E.g. Normal + Oily, Oily + Dry or Dry + Normal. It can also be reversed to dry t-zone and oily cheeks... anything like that!

2. Skin Conditions

Note that EVERYONE must have a skin type, however not all people have a skin condition. So don't panic if these conditions doesn't apply to you, that just means you don't have any skin conditions at all! :P These are fewer examples of skin conditions:

Sensitive skin:

- Often accompanies dry skin, can be present in oily skin also

- Thin epidermis

- Reacts to external stimuli which can become red & blotchy

- Prone to dry, flaky patches & broken capillaries

Pigmented skin:

- Darker areas or spots on skin

- Results from uneven distribution of melanin

- Can be results of sun-damage, chloasma, hormonal imbalances or acne scarring

Dehydrated skin: (almost everyone has dehydrated skin)

- Lack of water in skin

- Looks dry, flaky and scaly. Feels tight.

- Prone to wrinkles and fine lines

- Can be presented on both dry and oily skin.

Couperose skin:

- A temporary or chronic redness appearing on the skin.

- Appears as small, dilated, bright red blood vessels on the cheeks, nose or chin.

It's important to know what skin type you have and your skin conditions as different skin care products or make-up products are designed to cater to a particular skin type/condition. And I'll get onto that soon after my next post, of course!

For your information, I didn't copy and paste this from the internet. This is the information I have actually learnt from the class I'm taking, however, the notes about the characteristics are copied and pasted directly from the notes provided by my teachers. ^^

Hope you enjoyed the post and found it helpful!

Yours deerest,
