Small XOXO Armcandy Haul!

I've been trying to break away from my usual choice of huge bulky military-like men's watches and have opted to get more dainty pieces. That's why I'm so in love with XOXO ARMCANDY.
Xoxo Armcandy is Zamboanga based ans started out as an online shop that now has an actual physical store and is managed by Miss Alyssa and her boyfie.

I stopped by the shop yesterday to pick up a few of my orders, hence this small haul post.
One of the things I love about this shop is its packaging. They use eco-friendly paper bags and rarely use plastic bags.

Review : GEO Starmish Brown from Eyecandy's.Com

A few months ago, Miss Chloe of Eyecandys.Com emailed me regarding a sponsorship for a pair of circle lenses of my choice. I immediately emailed back thrilled at the news. I knew which pair I wanted right away. I requested to review the GEO Starmish Brown lenses. It's a fairly new design that still falls under their Princess Mimi series. The Starmish series was produced by another Gyaru model named Mai Hirose. It comes in a black version too but I asked for the brown ones instead since I already have dark colored eyes to begin with.

Love :
* Color & Design. I've gone through a lot of brown lenses and this is one of my favorites. It reminds me of my Princess Mimi Brown pair BUT this one's brighter and more vibrant. Definitely an attention grabber and may not be the pair for first time user who want to keep things "simple". The tri-color design also helps this pair blend quite nicely on my eyes without it disappearing completely. Plus this particular pair doesn't make me look "reptilian" in any way.
* Enlarging. Being 14.5mm, this particular pair doesn't look overly huge on my eyes. It's obvious enough that I have circle lenses on but not obvious enough for it to be considered odd. I actually prefer 14.5mm lenses because I can typically get away with wearing them with little or no makeup unlike with bigger diameter lenses where I feel I have to put on more eye makeup to "complement" the largeness.
* Comfortable! I didn't experience any stinging, itchiness or uncomfortable "dryness" while wearing this pair. I was able to use this for 5 hours straight before I had to "freshen" up my eyes.
Hate :
*Not locally available.

First Impressions : Barbie Puffy 3 Tone Brown (Uniqso!)

Last year I was lucky enough to be sponsored by Uniqso. Miss Lee-Lee & I have been corresponding via email and she introduced me to their new circle lens line called the Barbie Puffy 3 Tone. The brand Barbie used to be called Deuba. Honestly, I think I like that they changed their brand name to Barbie, sounds more "kawaii" to me! After choosing the color (either gray or brown), Miss Lee Lee informed me that they had shipped me the lenses. That was last November 26, 2012.
Want to know when I received my lenses? I received them a few days ago, on the 15th of January! Talk about holiday delays! Christmas time is one of the "worst" time to send international packages since it takes an extra long time for them to get delivered. *lol*
But it was all worth the wait!

I've already mentioned in previous posts that "the little things" count a lot to me and Uniqso didn't disappoint. My lenses came in a bubble wrap padded package, inside this really cute box that had a teddy bear design. They also sent over a cute Christmas themed card!

As you can see, my lenses were also wrapped in bubble wrap inside the tiny box to ensure its safety. Another thumbs up to Uniqso! They also sent me a free lens case with transparent blue top covers. Isn't it cute? Now moving on to the actual lens vials...

The usual information is printed on the label. This particular lens has a 16.5mm diameter and a base curve of 8.60 ...

Isn't it pretty? Look are the tri-color design of the lens. I'm betting this will blend (but stand out) on my dark brown eyes. I'm really excited to try this out... Watch out for my full review on this lovely pair on my upcoming posts!

Head on over to Uniqso to purchase your own pair...
