Gimme some Bloglovin'

My laptop is still on the blink, but I'm hoping to be back to blogging (ir)regularly soon.
In the meantime, I'm just going to spend my time reading other people's blogs on my dad's laptop(under the guise of studying).
In order to make this easier, I have joined Bloglovin!
I've also added a little button at the side of my blog, incase anyone wants to follow me via that.
Also, feel free to recommend your own favourite blogs! I'd love to discover more.

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. Bye bye 'til next time (when I shall hopefully have my working laptop back). :)

Happy Belated Valentines

I'm a week late but that's nothing new. My laptop is currently not working but I have a few posts lined up for when it is working again, which will hopefully be soon. In the meantime, feel free to listen to this over and over, as I have been doing.
Hope you're all well. :)

(very late) December Favourites

Is it too late to share December favourites? Probably.
Am I still going to do it? Definitely.

Lush Cinders Bath Ballistic and The Scottish Fine Soaps Company Mulled Wine Soap


I promise to keep this (fairly) short and sweet though. So this Christmas I discovered that I really like the scent of mulled wine. Or maybe just mulled wine-scented bath products. Whichever it is, these were my favourite products last month.
I've used the soap a few times, but the bath ballistic is just sitting in my room, making it smell all yummy. Apparently the red sprinkles on top are popping candy, which definitely excites my inner child. :)

Anyway, hope you all had a great Christmas & new year, and that 2013 is going well so far. And best of luck to those who have just finished/still enduring exams. I know they're soul-crushing, but you'll get through it! And as always, feel free to share any current favourites. :)

Review: GEO Tri Color Green Circle Lens

Today I'll be reviewing the GEO tri color lens in green, which I purchased from Honey Color almost a year ago. (I'll probably do a review of the actual site in a future post.) This was my very first circle lens purchase and I bought them mainly because I wanted a change from wearing glasses everyday.

Brand: Geo

 

Colour: Green

Other Colours Available: Blue, Brown, Grey, Violet

 

Diameter: 14.2mm

Base Curve: 8.6mm

Water Content: 38%

Usage: 1 year

As you can tell from the above pictures, the lens do give a slight enlargement when compared to my natural iris size, but this isn't at all noticable with both lens in.
The colour is also very vibrant and definitely noticable. Unfortunately, these lens don't look as natural on me as I would like and I definitely have to wear makeup with these, otherwise my eyes look quite unnatural and ever-so-slightly scary. :| 
That won't be the case with everyone though, as I have seen these lens blend in very nicely on some people.

In terms of comfort, I would say that these are very comfortable. Personally, I can wear these for around 8 hours (at least) before they start to feel a little dry.  This, again, will vary with each individual, especially those with sensitive eyes.

Overall, these are good quality and comfortable lens. Definitely not for anyone looking for a big dolly eyed enlargement to their eyes, but I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for fairly natural-looking contact lens.

I did purchase them in my prescription and anyone doing the same should visit their optician beforehand, just to ensure your eyes are healthy.
Hope this review was helpful and feel free to share your favourite lens with me!

NOTD: Mint Chocolate Chip

I don't actually paint my nails that often, but when I do, I'll usually keep the polish on until it starts to chip. I definitely don't have the patience to paint my nails everyday. If I did, it would smudge every time (this almost always happens to me anyway). I shall stop rambling now though and just say that this is how my nails have been painted for the past few days. I did actually have mint chocolate chip ice cream on my mind when I decided to paint my nails this colour. Still not sure if I like this combo though. What do you think?

I used Rimmel London Wear Maxx 'Chocolate Factory' and Collection 2000 Hot Looks 'Mint Mojo'.
