[REVIEW] Puffy 3-Tones in Pink

9 comments
SPONSORED. I seriously am like a week, 2, 3, 4, or month behind on reading fellow beauties blog posts. Going to catch up tomorrow when I've finished my homework. I received some lenses that I've always wanted to try from FOTDLOOKS
These came in the post:

Hello Kitty lense case, compliment slip, lenses and business card.
The lense viral:

So cute!!!


These are the lenses. The design look very similar to the Geo 3 tones right? This isn't exactly pink. It's more on the violet side and quite decieving.

The stock photo click here, shows a more pink, red tones. So it is very misleading. The stock photo of the lense looks so much prettier than the actual lenses itself. But when the lenses are worn, it looks slightly similar to the stock photo of the model.

I literally have just woken up in the photo with minimal makeup:

Review: Seriously where do I start? I was really excited when I recieved these. I knew about the lense being different than the stock photo but still wanted to try them on. When I tried one lense, I was like WOAH! It made me look so weird, so I inserted the other one in and it made me look weird. Like a monster or I kept thinking of godzilla :/ They are really vibrant and I wasn't use to it! I tried it on for a night out where eye makeup is more "dramatic", yet nothing seemed to calm the colour of the lense down. I'm not use to having lenses this bright or without a black ring. Probably will get use to it. You will get noticed! Different tones of violet/pink and yellow is used. From far, it does kind of blend in with the eye but up close it doesn't.

Talking about enlargement, I'd say it gives a good amount of enlargement. I'd say the same as 14mm lenses as these are 14.5mm. I guess its the perfect size for me. Since it doesn't have a black ring, it won't enlarge a lot so be aware. Comfort wise, they did make my eyes dry after 5 hours but that was fine as I only needed to wear them for around 5 hours. A few drops of eye drops should do the trick to lubricate the lenses and eyes.

To be honest, I do like these lenses but maybe a little bit dramatic for me. Maybe better for a night out or dressing up. Or daytime if you're daring!

[HAUL + ETC] University "Essentials" and a Tour :)

16 comments
Warning, image heavy.

Sorry for being unactive these days! I've moved back down to uni last week and been really busy these days! It was freshers week last week so I went out all week and haven't been staying at my accommodation in the week as I stayed at a friend's house. Started lectures on Monday, and now I'm bombarded with work now. I have 4 9am starts and they're all long days :( Lectures everyday. Tired Nicol.

I have been purchasing things over the past few weeks. I would say these are uni necessities, well kind of. I'm going to post just the beauty and fashion items rather than everything. I purchased all the stationary I needed and kitchen equipment and other general living items. Here is the haul:

 Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment, Boots Ingredients Honey Jojoba Intensive Hair Mask, Blistex Intensive Moisturiser Lip Cream.


Tea Tree & Peppermint Facial Scrub, GOSH Velvet Touch Lipstick 134 Darling, Likas Papaya Herbal Whitening Soap.


GOSH Velvet Touch Lipstick 134 Darling

Footwear:


Fashion:
These are bought from H&M.

Tour of my room and flat at university accommodation:

Welcome to Flat 149! :)

Straight to the kitchen which is shared by 3 other people.

Welcome to my room! :)

This is what it looks like when you walk in. the door on the right is the bathroom.

Bathroom. Shower behind me.

My wardrobe. Ran out of hangers so I had to improvise and group clothing. I have to have the clothes in this order:
Jackets/blazer, long sleeved tops, t-shirts, vest tops, going out tops/dresses, denim shorts, non denim shorts, legging/jeggings, jeans, trackies/joggers, fancy dress.
The black box contains my underwear and socks. bags, belts, towels etc next to it and shoes on the bottom floor shelf. Huge suitcase on the top shelf.

Close up on the rest of my room.

Shelf. Top shelf: alcohol, herbal tea, flask etc. Second shelf: face, hair, body products. Third shelf: makeup, jewellery, accessories. Bottom shelf: books, folder, stationary.

This is the view from my room during the day.
