Circle Lenses Are My Life- Uniqso Review

Finding the perfect coloured contacts is hard. You have to choose the perfect colour for your skin tone, and also it can't be too exaggerated because the lens will look fake and everyone can tell. Luckily enough, my favourite lens shop Uniqso sells a wide range of coloured lenses which suit every skin tone and hair colour, as well as containing every shape and size you can imagine. 

A few months ago I bought a pair of Barbie YoungLong Brown lens  ($16.90) on their site. It arrived within 2 weeks or so, and it came in a beautiful box alongside a blue circle lens case. I eagerly opened it but I only recently had the opportunity to wear them because I had a special party with friends to go to. I'm going to share an honest review with you about what I thought of these lenses.   

The look (5/5) : The lenses had a diameter of 14.2mm, which meant that it was very natural-looking and hardly noticeable from afar. In fact, I chose the smallest diameter available because of the fact that it will look extremely natural yet boost the lightness in my eyes. The effects are that my eyes got a slight enlargement without looking like a doll or an alien. It's perfect for photos and looks great in the light too! If you want a more showy effect, then I'd recommend choosing some other colour or brand, because Barbie is known for its natural effect. 

Comfort (4/5): The lenses had a high water content of 38%, which was good because it did not dry my eyes out unlike other types of lenses. I have tried some terrible lenses which stung my eyes and made my eyeballs hurt, and I'm glad that this brand does not have the same problem. Of course, with all lenses, you can't wear them for long. But overall I'm satisfied with the softness of this lens. 

Durability and Price (4/5): The lenses had a 1-year expiry date, so it will last for more than a few times' wear. I'm glad to say that I think it's worth every dollar of the cost, though it is definitely not considered the cheapest of the circle lenses on their site. 

I'm also happy that Uniqso sell prescription lenses for those with poor eyesight like myself. That way, I can enjoy the perks of wearing circle lenses even though I'm visually disadvantaged. 

Overall, I really recommend Uniqso as a reliable, affordable circle lens shop. I also love my new brown lenses as they're natural, comfortable and make my eyes pop out without being overly showy or unnatural. In fact, I got a lot of compliments when I was out, and my friends said I looked extra good that night - though they didn't know why! 

Best Organic Skincare Gift Idea for 2019- So Good Botanicals Review

Christmas shopping is always a fun and exciting activity, but the hardest part about it is deciding what to get your loved ones. Socks? Sweaters? We've all had our share of unwanted presents that we end up never using. This year, I want to talk about what you can get your family and friends, and I'm going to introduce you to some awesome products that I recently tried from So Good Botanicals, an organic skincare brand from Hong Kong.

A bit about the brand- frustrated by a large collection of skincare products that didn't work, So Good Botanicals was created to combat problematic skin using the healthiest, most sustainable and healthy ingredients one can find. The founders of So Good Botanicals believe in the power of natural plant-based ingredients, and believe that problematic skin requires more nutrients and healthy fats. As a result, they have created an entire range of organic and natural skincare products that helps men and women achieve stronger, healthier and blemish-free skin. 

The brand's range is impressive and can be found on their Etsy shop. I am going to review 3 items from the brand and talk about my experience using them, and how they'd make lovely Christmas gifts for people who suffer from problematic skin. But first, take a look at some of the items that I got to try below! 

I got their signature Godmother Beauty Balm, a natural acne treatment and moisturiser which contains ingredients such as Black Seed Oil and Organic Basil to help combat bacteria, acne and reduce blackheads. I've got combination skin so I always get acne, but after using this cream on my spots for a few days, I found that my red marks and spots have reduced in size and appearance. This cream is so much better than using harsh chemicals like retinoids and peroxides to treat my acne, and I found that this balm also has a soothing effect on my skin.

This beautiful waterless cream is designed to target problematic skin conditions in all climates. I like how it doesn't stick to your skin after you apply it, which feels great as Hong Kong is quite humid and hot so the most important thing that a product has to do is not feel sticky and heavy on the skin. I really love how you can use the Godmother balm for different purposes, and it works well as a moisturiser as well as a breakout cream. It would make a lovely gift for teenagers or people suffering from acne.

Secondly, I got their signature Anti Ageing Facial Serum, which is a natural and organic oil-based serum made from a potent combination of ingredients. It contains Organic Sea Buckthorn, Black Seed Oil and Meadowfoam, which nourishes the skin without any harsh chemicals. The oil contains healthy fatty acids that protect against dryness and prevents wrinkles. This oil is extremely lightweight and felt very easy to apply, and instantly rejuvenated my skin. It works wonders as a base or in the evenings, when you want something to nourish your skin. I'd highly recommend this serum for people with delicate and dry skin, and it would make such a lovely gift as it's packaged really well and comes in a dainty and gorgeous bottle.

Lastly, I tried out So Good Botanical's Green McQueen Super food cleansing mask, which is an amazing and refreshing mask made with Spirulina and raw honey. The green colour comes from the spirulina and contains a powerhouse of amino acids, proteins and vitamins. The combination of Jojoba and Nettle make this mask an extremely healthy and powerful skin treatment to brighten your skin and reduce wrinkles. I used it on my skin a few times this week, and it made my face glow with health afterwards. You only need a small amount so the mask can last you a really long time.

I'd highly recommend So Good Botanicals as their skincare range is completely natural and works wonders on the skin. If you're struggling for Christmas gift ideas this year, look no further as So Good Botanicals has got you covered! Their range is perfect for those who want a change in their normal skincare routine, or want to move away from the harsh chemicals that are often found in products from big brands. I hope you like my review!

The Best Skincare Products To Get This Christmas- Native Essentials Review

It's nearly Christmas in Hong Kong and it's time to go shopping for Christmas gifts! I really wanted to get family and I some really lovely treats, and this year I've decided to buy them natural skincare products as presents. I want to introduce you to some of the best skincare products that you can get this year from Native Essentials, a lovely Hong Kong organic skincare brand that sells some of the loveliest, gorgeous skincare products that I've ever seen.

A bit about the brand- Native Essentials is founded by Daniela Pelonara, who has a passion for creating natural, conscious and clean beauty products for everyone. Her brand's products are formulated without chemicals and artificial ingredients, and are powered by natural ingredients which nourish, cleans and refreshes the skin. Native Essential's collections are carefully formulated to tackle different types of skin. From dry to combination skin, their collection is curated so that every product complements and works well with the others in the range.

I'm excited to share with you some products from two of their signature collections. But first, take a look at what I got from Native Essentials below! 

My skin is really dry but oily in different places, so Daniela recommended that I try out their combination and dry product range. For the dry skin routine, I got to try out a beautiful SOLE Exfoliating Gel to Milk Mask, which can be applied onto the face to exfoliate, purify and remove all the dead skin on the surface of your face. I used this mask as the first step of my night routine and it was extremely easy to apply- all I had to do was put a small tablespoon onto my face, leave it on and wash it off afterwards. My skin felt really smooth and soft after the mask, and it's got a delightful smell.

After the mask, I applied the IIS Hydro Defense Serum which was a lovely, thick repair serum that contains a powerful, marine-based antioxidant complex enhanced by moss-derived active ingredients to protect your skin from urban aggressors and water loss. This beautiful serum felt really hydrating and smooth, and it is extremely effective against dry skin. I felt instantly hydrated from this, and it smells really good too!

Finally, any organic skincare routine is not complete without the facial oil. I applied the SHAANT Regenerating Luxe Oil onto my face after the serum, and it was really nice to see my face plump up instantly. The oil is made with a variety of nourishing oils including Rosehip seed oil and Marula oil, which are light and dry oils containing healthy fatty acids that protect against dryness and prevents wrinkles. This oil is extremely lightweight and felt very easy to apply, and instantly rejuvenated my skin.

I also tried out their combination routine, which included the NAA Skin Perfecting Serum that is designed to deliver a nutritious, super hydrating punch without the oiliness and stickiness that comes with serums you can find in drug stores. I really love the smell of the NAA serum, as it's fresh, sweet and refreshing. It's really effective against my dry skin as it really moisturises and rejuvenates my skin. This serum is made with Passion flower extract and orchid fruit extracts, which are packed with nutrients and protects the skin from free radicals. I love how the serum has a beautiful purple colour too!

I then followed it with the KORU Clarifying Dry Oil which is extremely lightweight, easy to apply and smell wonderful. This oil is special as it's inspired by New Zealand's native plants, and utilises a blend of fruity oils to create a special, fresh blend that really hydrates the face. It isn't too heavy and feels quite light, but it packs a powerful punch as my face was very moisturised with just 2-3 drops of this powerful oil. Best of all, each KORU is one of a kind as it is hand-blended exclusively with fresh natural ingredients that change in colour according to the batch!

I also tested out the HAE Time Release Light Moisturizer which was one of the brand's signature products. This delicate and lightweight moisturiser is completely organic and made with really powerful ingredients such as Inositol, Jeju Island Aloe Vera and Glycoin, ingredients which boasts powerful anti-ageing and cell-boosting properties. I love this moisturiser as my skin literally soaks it up, and it's really easy to apply too.

Overall, I think these products are fantastic and natural, and best of all they nourish the skin without using some of the harsh chemicals that are found in many other skincare products. The beautiful packaging, interesting colors and gorgeous smells of the products really stands out, and they are truly luxurious skincare products at a very affordable price. They would make perfect gifts for this Christmas, and I'd highly recommend Native Essentials to anyone wanting to get the perfect skincare set for a loved one.

Olens Vivi Ring Gray - iEyeBeauty Review

Got some new lenses from iEyeBeauty last week, and I've been waiting to wear them for ages now. Yesterday I went clubbing with my friends from university, and they're SO awesome. We had such a fun night dancing and having fun, something which I haven't done in a while now.

I wore my Grey monthly lenses from the Olens Vivi Ring Gray (Monthly x 2 pieces) range, which is a range selling one day coloured lenses. I've never tried it before, so this is my honest review of these lenses.

Design (5/5): the colour and design of these lenses are excellent. The grey colour is so natural, and no one can tell I've put on lenses which is always my aim. I don't like people commenting on how fake it is. I got compliments saying I looked extra good tonight, which is a plus. I'm also happy with the slight enlarging effect of these lenses- they're not too exaggerated, but just about right!

Comfort (3/5) : they're quite comfortable- and they're meant to last for at least 7-8 hours at night. I wore mine at around 10pm and went home at 2am, and it was already feeling a bit dry. They didn't last as long as I hoped, but they're generally comfortable in the first 3-4 hours of wear. I think maybe I'm extra sensitive, but compared to other lenses, they're a bit more dry.

Would I buy again? Yes- if I have some special occasions and want to look extra good, I'd definitely go for them. However, I feel like the normal coloured contact lenses are more comfortable, especially since they don't go dry as fast as these. I'm not sure- this is my first time trying out monthly coloured lenses.

Overall, I had a blast at the event and it was partly because I felt really confident in my Olens Grey circle lens. It's really comfortable and didn't dry my eyes out at all, for the entire evening plus even when I got home! Also it looked really natural, and not many people realised I wore a pair of enlarging lens. It helped make my eyes look so much bigger without it being obvious! I can't say anything bad about these lenses at all, and I'm being very honest with this review.

Brown Wing Series and Grey World Series (3 Tone) Lenses- Lenscircle Review

It's yet another cold and grey day, so I'm going to spice things up by doing a mini-review of something I got recently. I'm really excited to be reviewing the Brown Wing Series Circle Lens from Lenscircle today! They're a really great shop that sells an amazing range of circle lens. I'm actually a regular customer of theirs because their lenses really made me look fabulous during balls or special events, where I like to wear circle lens to make my eyes bigger.

Onto the review… The best thing about these lenses are that they're really comfortable. I mean, they're really comfortable to wear for over 7-8 hours. I know you shouldn't wear lenses for that long, but they're absolutely great for the first 6-7 hours. I looked fantastic at my photo session when I wore them to a photo-shoot in my friend's house. They said that my eyes looked good! Also the colour means that it's really natural and no one noticed I was wearing lenses, though EVERYONE said I looked better. Kudos to the power of makeup and lenses! 

There isn't anything negative I can say about these lenses. Seriously, I've been resorting to wearing brown lenses because they look the most natural. And these lenses are not too large at 14.2 mm but big enough to make any small eyes look bigger without photoshop! 

I also got these Grey World Series (3-Tone) lenses- the lenses had a diameter of 14.2mm, which meant that it was very natural-looking and hardly noticeable from afar. In fact, I chose the smallest diameter available because of the fact that it will look extremely natural yet boost the lightness in my eyes. The effects are that my eyes got a slight enlargement without looking like a doll or an alien. It's perfect for photos and looks great in the light too! If you want a more showy effect, then I'd recommend choosing some other colour or brand, because this brand is known for its natural effect.

These lenses had a high water content of 42%, which was good because it did not dry my eyes out unlike other types of lenses. I have tried some terrible lenses which stung my eyes and made my eyeballs hurt, and I'm glad that this brand does not have the same problem. Of course, with all lenses, you can't wear them for long. But overall I'm satisfied with the softness of this lens.

Guys, do check out their shop! Each pair of lenses comes with a really pretty box, gift bag and a cute lens case. Both these pairs of lenses lasts 1 year, so they're super durable and totally worth the buy. I highly recommend them, honestly. 

Princess Pinky Moonstone Lenses- Pinky Paradise Review

Finding the perfect coloured contacts is hard. You have to choose the perfect colour for your skin tone, and also it can't be too exaggerated because the lens will look fake and everyone can tell. Luckily enough, my favourite lens shop Pinky Paradise sells a wide range of coloured lenses which suit every skin tone and hair colour, as well as containing every shape and size you can imagine. 

A few months ago I bought a pair of Princess Pinky Moonstone Choco lens as well as the Princess Pinky Moonstone Grey ($8.99) on their site. The package arrived within a week or so, and it came in a beautiful box alongside a pink circle lens case. I eagerly opened it but I only recently had the opportunity to wear them because I had a special party with friends to go to. I'm going to share an honest review with you about what I thought of these two types of lenses.
