Geo Hurricane Violets

Geo Hurricane Violets HC-101

Natural Light





Artificial Light





Flash



Close-up (ew, semi fail)



Lenses in case (left is up, right is down)



Full face




Color/Design: 10/10 I love these. They're actually a darker, more royal purple in regular lighting. I think this pattern would blend nicely with both light and dark eyes :].

Enlargement: 10/10 These are huge for 14mm's -- I really like the amount of enlargement.

Comfort: 9/10 Geo's treat my eyes pretty well for the most part. EOS is only slightly more comfortable.

Seller: 10/10 I totally would have paid for these (I won them from Sam at fotdlooks.weebly.com). But that fact aside, Sam is great with communication, shipping, and running pre-orders <3. I would 100% recommend her store. Thanks, Sam!

Overall: New fav purple lens. I have the Super Neon Violets (and I had taken comparison pictures before but deleted them). I will take more comparison pictures later! The Super Neons look fake on my dark brown eyes -- I'm not too fond of them.

OOTD ♥

This outfit is perfect for that awkward Summer to Fall transition. It's really simple and, if you're like me, you really only need to cover up the top half when that random breeze comes your way!

Full Body


Worn in photo:
[[You can't see this]] Forever 21 Earrings (1.50USD)
[[Or this]] Forever 21 Bunny Floating Ring (4.80USD)
Forever 21 Navy V-neck Sweater Top (9.50USD)
Express Shorts (40USD-ish)
Random Gray Cami (Priceless, just kidding!)
Coco and Lolly O-ring Trinket Necklace (18USD)
Express White Skinny Belt (20USD-ish)
Tie-up Wedges (11USD Taiwan Nightmarket)

The Shoes!




I love love love these wedges [my friends call these the "sexy shoes", LOL]! I can wear them all day (I have problems wearing heels for long periods of time because of my arches) with minimal discomfort. I found these in a random shop in the nightmarket where my boyfriend's uncle and aunt's food cart sits. Gah! I wanted this type of wedge in different colors so I went to a few of the bigger ones looking for ones this cute/well-made.  Sadly I wasn't able to find them. This pair is sturdy as heck -- I bought them more than a year ago and they're still like-new. The only downside is that the tied-up part doesn't really stay wrapped around your leg as the day goes on.

The Accessories


I've only worn these earrings 1-2 times, but for 1.50$ their quality is pretty spectacular!

I got super lucky and bought this necklace 70% off -- the local Coco and Lolly went out of business! It was originally 18USD but I bought it for 5-ish.




I'd been eying this ring ever since it hit the "New Arrivals" tab on the Forever 21 website! It's sooo cute and I was lucky enough to snag the last one at the Mall of America's ForLove 21.

The Bag



Last but not least -- the giant Coco and Lolly bag. I also got this one at the closing sale -- 58USD -> 17USD, heck yes! I absolutely love this fantabulous bag! It's a really nice taupe color (and I also managed to grab one of the last matching wristlets for 5$) with a cute black bow and chain strap. I use it for my folders and notebooks right now. Talk about going to class in style!

Thanks for reading! ♥

Kiwiberry Review: EOS Max Pure Brown

I won this pair from Kiwi's Facebook contest! I was hesitant to try 14.5mm's but I really like the outcome. So if you think your eyes are too small, fear not -- they'd probably look fine on you.

Color/Design -- 9.5/10;; These are too cute and natural! I love the shade of brown, it's so much warmer and richer than my natural dark brown. The max pure series is known for it's "cogwheel" design and since my eyes are dark brown, I can still see the cogwheels in my eyes up close. It kind of bothers me, hence the -.5 but from about 1ft away it's not noticeable.

Comfort -- 9/10;; Mm, these are much more comfortable compared to my Geos. My only complaint is that sometimes I can feel them but after a little prodding and moving around they feel fine.

Enlargement -- 10/10;; These enlarge extremely nicely for 14.5mm's. i don't think they're unnaturally big. Just super cute and dolly, if you will.

Seller -- 12039812980192839812908301823/10;; Oh my goodness I cannot express how much I like Kiwiberry's service. The owners are so sweet, great with communication, and great with customer service!

Overall -- 9.5/10;; I reallllyyy like this pair! I definitely go to these lenses for everyday use.

Geo Nudy Gray

Finally talked myself into opening a pair before I move into my dorm! These bad boys are the Geo Nudy Grays and they're amazing.  I bought this pair from Charlene's Blogspot for 15$ shipped.

[[Heehee, I'm squinting]]


Natural Lighting

Natural Lighting


Color/Design -- 8/10;; these are made to more or less blend into your natural eye color and my eyes are a dark, dark brown which give off a gunmetal gray in typical lighting (although all the pictures posted are in natural light which brings out the lighter gray).  I'm not TOO fond of the speckled design but it's not too bad :3.

Comfort -- 7/10;; I can definitely feel these in my eyes. They don't usually give me trouble but just knowing I can feel the lenses makes them less comfortable in comparison to my Acuvue Oasys.

Enlargement -- 8/10;; Holy mother of a cow these make my eyes HUGE considering they're only 14mm in diameter. Plus I get a constant halo... Not sure how I feel about that due to my slight astigmatism allowing them to slide a little (I think the halo effect makes the sliding more obvious).

Overall -- 8/10;; They're nice for first time lenses. I really like them, but I'm pushing more torwards the all-natural looking lenses now ^^.

ELF is currently having a sitewide sale!  60% off any purchase with a minimum order of 25$ -- coupon code: SIXTY!  My sister and I picked up several items from this insane discount which coupled with ELF prices means insanely insane.  Usual prices average around 1-3$USD for basic makeup and brushes.

Here's what I got in my haul:
