Circle lens review - EOS J-101 Violet

Hey everyone, sorry for the unannounced hiatus the past couple of weeks, end-of-semester rush is horrible. Today I am reviewing the EOS J-101 violet circle lenses, sponsored by MukuChu. This is a single-color lens with design similar to the old Adult series. 

The J-101 have good color intensity but not so bright that you look possessed. The clear part in the middle is large so you won't get a halo around your vision.

These lenses are not significantly enlarging and there is no dark outer ring, so they look more like "normal" colored lenses.

Compared to the Barbie Big Size Violet lenses, the J-101 are not as eye-catching and intense.

I also compared the J-101 with the Fynale Y17 Blue which are a blue-violet color. The Fynale gives me a halo around my vision due to the small hole in the middle, but the J-101 does not.

Here are the lenses worn in this review. Clockwise from top: J-101 violet right side up, Big Size Violet, J-101 violet upside down, Y17 Blue.

FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 6/10 - To be honest I find them very uninspiring
Enlargement: 5/10 - Just a wee bit
Comfort: 10/10 - Surprisingly comfortable
TOTAL: 7/10 - Not one of my favourites, but if you are looking for a single-color lens, these are pretty nice. 

Thank you MukuChu for the lenses!

FOTD - Two recent clubbing looks

Just wanna share two looks that I wore to clubbing recently :)

A purple look with precise eyeliner and arched brows. The purple shadow is NYX's Morocco.

 Bad bathroom lighting is bad, but this is a heavy smoky looks with black, gunmetal and silver eyeshadow. I was wearing fake bangs so I drew on Vulcan brows. :P

Creative Makeup Tutorial - 1920's inspired violet look

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am here to show you a new look I did today. It is inspired by the roaring 20's, with a bit of harlequin thrown in. This is my first time experiencing with pseudo-20's hair, so I will post a tutorial when I get it to look better. 

A closeup of the eyes before I begin. The lenses are Puffy 3-tone Brown. 

After putting on foundation, I put on a thick layer of powder below my eyes to catch any fallen eyeshadow. 

I then applied lavender-grey eyeshadow along the bridge of my nose between my eyes for shading.

A shimmery violet eyeshadow is applied all over my eyelids all the way up to the brows, blending into the grey.

I then added dark violet eyeshadow along the lower lashline and over the upper lid.

 Black eyeshadow is applied along the outer half of the upper lashline and a bit in the outer corners of the eyes.

I then heavily lined my eyes (as well as the lower waterline) with black pencil eyeliner for a smoky look.

I cut up a pair of false lashes into individual spikes and applied them along my lower lashline for a dramatic spiky look.

Highly arched eyebrows are drawn on above my natural eyebrows (which I should have covered at the beginning of the tutorial =____=), and a bit of glitter is applied between individual spikes of the false lashes for highlight.

Pink blush is applied to the apples of my cheek, and a black heart is drawn on my right cheekbone with a bit of glitter for added sparkle. A layer of mascara is also applied to my upper lashes.

Finally, I outlined a beestung-shaped lip over my natural lips (covered with foundation), and filled it in with violet-pink lipstick.

Here's a closeup of the eyes and the heart.

For the fingerwave-like hair, I sectioned the front of my hair from temple to temple off from the rest of my head, then curled them with a small-barreled iron. I then combed out the curls and fixed them to my head with loads of bobby pins. 

I think with more practice, this will definitely look more natural. :p

The rest of my hair is loosely rolled into a bun and tucked under at the nape of my neck, and is secured with a claw clip.

Just two more camwhore pics:

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and have an awesome Thanksgiving weekend. :)

Circle lens review - EOS Love-U Brown

This is my review of EOS Love-U Brown, sponsored by MukuChu. This is a pair of natural-looking lenses that surprised me quite a bit, and I think they will be great for everyday wear.

The Love-U Brown are a mid-tone brown lens with lighter brown highlights in the middle. The highlights are not visible when the lenses are off the eyes, so when I first got the lenses I thought they are single-colored and kinds of boring. However, once I try them on, I immediately notice the highlights and how they make my eyes more interesting.

The Love-U are 14.0mm so they are low in enlarging power, which make them good "casual" lens to wear without makeup.

The Love-U have a similar design to EOS Max Gold Black, but are smaller in diameter and lighter in color. The Max Gold Black look kind of "dead fish"-like in comparison.

I also compared the Love-U to my current favorite natural lenses, Neo Dali Extra Brown. The Extra are a bit bigger in diameter but they are both lovely.

 Here are all the lenses I wore for the review. Clockwise from the top: Love-U Brown right side up, Max Gold Black, Love-U Brown upside down, Extra Brown.

FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 9/10 - Highlights my eyes very well
Enlargement: 7/10 - Minimal enlargement
Comfort: 9/10 - No significant discomfort, and the small size of the lenses also helps
TOTAL: 8/10 - A surprisingly nice pair of natural lenses

Thank you MukuChu for the lenses!
