GEO Princess Mimi
A few days ago, I received my new order of Princess Mimi lenses from Circlelens(AU)!!!! I got my favourite Sesame Greys and I also got Chocolate to try out as well.
I’m so glad I can finally throw my old ones out!
Look at the new packaging for the Princess Mimi lenses!!! They are so cute!!! (*≧▽≦)
Goodbye drying old contacts~~ (ヾ(´･ω･｀)
Wearing my new Princess Mimi in Chocolate. They are definitely less “stand out” than Sesame Greys but they are gorgeous none the less. Super comfy too, just like the rest in the line.
Comfort: ✰✰✰✰✰
Enlarging effect: ✰✰✰
Design: ✰✰✰✰✰
Overall: ✰✰✰✰✰

Z! Eyedrops
Ohai!!
Have you ever heard of Rohto eyedrops?
I’ve heard that they are very refreshing and minty, and great for circle lens wearers… I’ve wanted to try them out for a mad long time, but they are very hard to find! And as usual.. overly overpriced in any Asian store in Sydney.. (Sydney being the 7th most expensive city in the world now!!!!)
So I resorted to my favourite marketplace, EBAY, to bid for some Rohto eye drops. I found the Lycee ones – which every girl seems to love, but I wanted to be different and try the Z! Eyedrops. Apparently, they are very strong eye drops which can be used to relieve tired and red eyes! The best thing about them is that they are very cooling & fresh!
The first time I used these eyedrops – I had to close my eyes cause they were stinging my eyes so much!!! – but then I realised that it’s just the effect it gives!! After 1 minute, your eyes feel really really refreshed!
The cooling scale is 6/7!!! – which is how minty the eyedrops are!
So if you have tired or red eyes like me from wearing lenses…..
1. Open Lid
2. Aim towards your eye and drip drip!! It comes with a free angle “nozzle” for easier application!
3. And you will end up feeling “FRESH”~~
Your eyes will look super white as well!!!!! Which makes you look more awake and healthy! Double +!
And so you won’t feel tired & blah anymore!!!
Super love these eyedrops!!
I haven’t tried the Lycee ones yet, but can’t wait to try them!
Does anyone know what the difference is? I think the Z! is stronger… but I’m not sure!
I purchased mine from this Ebay shop but there are plenty of shops that sell Rohto eyedrops!!! Remember to buy an “authentic” one. Don’t get tricked by finding cheaper versions!!!
Your eye is very important!! ♥
GEO Lotus Gray
I haven’t tried new lenses for so long because I was so addicted to my Princess Mimi/Bambi lenses in Sesame Grey. I just couldn’t get over them – so I wore them every single day. I attempted to try new ones but I always ended up going back to those. They are just soo…. stunning and comfortable.
But
I sort of found a replacement now – like a rebound lens. Wtf.
I have so many lenses that I realised I just HAD to try a new one!
GEO Lotus Gray
(thanks to Shoppingholics)
Description: The Lotus circle lens focuses on a dark rim to enlarge the eye and create more of a “cartoon” character round eye effect. The floral design within the lenses creates a subtle but noticable sparkle to the eye.
Comfort: ✰✰✰
(these lenses are 15.0mm in diameter and are less comfortable than my 14.5mm ones)
Enlarging effect: ✰✰✰✰✰
Design: ✰✰✰✰
Overall: ✰✰✰✰
I like these lenses enough to leave my Princess Mimi’s in their case for a week or two, but I’ll probably ditch these due to their large diameter. If you are looking to enlarge your eyes, these are amazing – but I don’t need to “enlarge” my eyes so much for work – I just need the comfort.
Hope you like these reviews – more coming soon!
P.S. Did you guys miss my face & camwhoring?

Snipplets of my beauty posts on Breakfast with Audrey
You can read on my latest review on SAX cosmetics “Sultry Eyes” make up kit..
“Being more of an international makeup brand whore, I had actually never heard of this brand before. I was a little hesitant when I saw their low prices, and instantly thought it must be another “repackaged” Designer Brands.
The eyeshadows are surprising very pigmented, not chalky (as I would typically expect from lower range eyeshadows) and very easy to blend….” read more
Or my latest tutorial inspired by Miley Cyrus
“Inspired by Miley Cyrus with a simple bright and heavily outer lined eye paired with a nude pink lip. This look is great to wear for work in an office work or in retail. Her darker eyebrows makes her look neat and well put together, whilst the inner tear duct highlight keeps her looking bright and awake for the day.” read more

The Kardashian Cosmetics Storage box
I’m sure many of you would have heard of the Kardashian cosmetics storage box already!!!
I love the Kardashian family. They are all so smokin’ hot. *sad face for them lowering my self-esteem* LOL.
But it’s ok..
The Makeup Box Shop sells the acrylic cosmetics storage box they feature throughout their episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I was lucky enough to be sent one from their company to review.
Hope you guys enjoy the review.
Measurements
22 cm tall (220mm)
21 cm wide (210mm)
24 cm deep (240mm)
(4 drawers 2.5cm or 25mm deep and larger drawer 6.5cm or 65mm deep)
Just to point out though, I do think you can purchase a similar product from Kmart, Target, or your local office supply store, but these are made of a strong acrylic which keeps your cosmetics clean and stores them well. They are not plastic nor is it light. The clear storage box is very heavy, which is why the price is takes into account the delivery cost.
The Original Makeup box is $109 – delivered Australia wide (see more conditions depending on your state on their website) and they also offer a Glamourous Makeup box.
Protecting your heels
I finally found the answer to keeping my heels for longer without having to toss them out after a few wears!! Yeh. I think I’ve got bad walking habits….
I also.. like to run in my heels… and where necessary.. I will walk in grass. Uh. I should be a little more elegant when I’m in my heels at times… but I’m not…. so here is the solution.. that I’ve searched high and low for.
This little plastic tube is the answer to all my problems!!! Oh wait, there’s still the painful walking part.. but that’s ok, that’s actually somewhat bearable!!!
Anyhoo, I blogged about this Original Sole Heel Hugger back a few posts when I was telling you guys about becoming an ambassador of Cherry Pick Me. Well, like I said in my last post, I am not sponsored my Original Sole, nor did they send this product to me. I purchased it myself. :)
Hm. So.. what do I think of it?
Well…. it’s great! It works well if you are always ruining your shoes, and could indeed save you loads of money because you’ll end up keeping your heels for a much longer time!!! Especially if you wear heels for work (or just on a daily/regular basis), it’s important that you protect your heels from demolishing!!! You want to get as much wears out of it as possible!
The bad side is that you can sort of see the plastic tube after you place it on your heel… but I think it sort of forms a design.. and if you put it on patent or leather shoes, I don’t think it’ll be as noticable. You can check out my video below to see how “noticable” it was on a suede pair of booties from BettyShoes.
I’m not sure that I’ll repurchase the heel huggers, but one thing for sure.. is that I might start taping my heels so that they won’t get as ruined. I think that clear adhesive you use for wrapping your books when you want to protect them would work too!!!!
It’s up to you to be creative!
It’s a very creative and effective idea though. Props to Original Sole for inventing such a great, nifty little product to help out in the little things in life. :)
And super random pic of me (^___^)
Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream
These days, all I wear in BB cream. As I get older, I’m more wary of what I’m putting on my face on a daily basis and because I work for 8 long hours every day (not including traveling to and from work time), it is really important to have a good product on my skin.
I used to use foundations with full coverage to cover all my imperfections – freckles, discolouration and pores.
But now, I’ve realised that if you treat your imperfections, you don’t need to use a high coverage foundation! In fact, you feel much better wearing a bb cream instead!
I’ve read so much about the SKIN79 Super Plus BB Cream Triple Functions and really wanted to try it out.
| It claims to offer whitening, anti wrinkle and UVA-UVB sun protection (SPF25 PA++) abilities whilst giving you an even coverage of colour, and uses various ingredients to moisturize and revitalize the skin like tangerine oil, ceraminde 3 and osmopur. |
I like the fact that this BB cream offers over 3 skincare functions and can be used as a moisturiser, primer, concealer and foundation!!!! Using this BB cream has saved me so so so much time in the mornings!
And also most importantly, the packaging is also super pretty! It’s HOT PINK and super bling!
There is a pump on this bb cream too!!! Which I like because it’s really easy to use. You push the top down and the pump gives you control of how much and how little you want to come out!
The pump is actually also silver, so it works as a mirror as well!! Super awesome!
See? You just press it down, then flip the BB cream around to use the mirror! Super convenient to bring out!
The Skin79 BB cream also smells really nice unlike foundations which usually have a really horrible chemical-like smell. I likey dikey!!!!!
The BB cream doesn’t give me full coverage, but it is definitely medium and buildable!!! You wouldn’t want to build it up too much though because then it may get oily because of the moisturising formula! It applies very smoothly on my skin even when I don’t use any skincare products before this! Super love!
I don’t have oily skin so this formula actually lasts me all day if I top it off with a light powder. No touch ups for over 8 hours!!!
Tip: to get fuller coverage with your BB cream, lightly pat the BB cream on the areas where you need it more. In other areas, you can use your fingers and lightly rub it on in circular motions upwards.
Try SKIN79 Super Plus BB Cream Triple Functions instead of foundation now and save your skin from foundation!!
But be careful when you purchase Skin79 BB cream!!! Many shops now stock fake ones!!!
Purchase from Shoppingholics to ensure authenticity.
Lashes for your eyecandy
Get ready for a Lashgasm!
I received a surprise parcel from CirclelensAU about a week ago and I’ve been meaning to blog about it!!! I super duper excited when I saw that it was from them because they mentioned they were sending me something but I didn’t know exactly what was in it! Whenever CirclelensAU emails me and askes what I want, I usually tell them to choose because I love everything from their shop!!
I’m not only saying this because they are one of my biggest supporters, but because I really really do love everything.
Their range of products include False Eyelashes (lots of different styles), bling cases for your gadgets and circle lenses!!! What else do I need in life? haha!
Let’s get onto the massive eyelashgasm they gave me!!!!!
I opened up the parcel and loads and loads of 10 packs! Woah woah.
One thing I do want to clear up though.. is the misunderstanding lots of girls have with the 10 pack lashes. The ones you get from Ebay are not good quality. They are plastic. They are painful to wear because the band is very very thick and tough. The first few times you wear them, they are going to make your eyes itchy and most of all, they are not natural looking. If you do not go for the natural look.. then go for it.. but for most of us, we don’t want others to think our eyelashes are glued in.. right? (^__^) Well.. not tooo obvious anyway!
These 10 pack lashes from CirclelensAU are different. They are all handmade!!!!!! When you wear it, they are super soft and some even have a clear band!!! For the price of $11~, it’s great for a box of good quality eyelashes!
And yes, they sell the Princess Lee Lashes too!!! The well known Taiwanese Princess “Lee” Lashes!!!
Okay, enough demos and sneak peeks. Onto the real things!!!
1. 022#
They even sell my favourite eyelash glue which is the Ardell LashGrip in Dark tone!!! It’s waterproof and seriously does not come off all day if you glue it on properly in the morning!!! Super loves it and been using it for over 5 years!
You can also see a review of all my eyelash glues here.
Now I hope you go on a huge shopping spree of eyelashes and circle lenses!!!! Because if you do… enter in the code “chaigyaru” and it will give you an instant 10% off anything on the website!!!!!!!!
Also, CirclelensAU will be sponsoring a giveaway from me to you very very soon!!!!
I’m very very excited about the giveaway so keep coming back to check when it’s going to be up and running!!!!
