INDEFINITE HIATUS

This blog has been put on indefinite hiatus, mainly because I have lost interest in reviewing stuff and my inspiration on doing tutorial has run dry. I can be found on Tumblr if you would like to see photos of my makeup and cosplay.

Circle Lens Review - GEO AN-A46 Brown


Here is my review for GEO AN-A46 Brown, sponsored by MukuCHU. These are natural-looking hazel-brown lens with a subtle pattern to them, perfect for everyday wear. Personally I am more interested in dramatic lenses, but if you are looking for more natural lenses, these might be for you.

 The diameter for these lenses are 14.2mm, so their enlarging power is low. The darker outer ring helps give your eyes definition though.

Here I am comparing the AN-A46 with GEO Hurricane Brown, which has a larger diameter and is more golden-brown in color.

Compared to the Dali Extra Brown, the AN-A46 have a more defined pattern but lower enlarging power.






Here are all the lenses mentioned in this review. Clockwise from the top: AN-A46 right side up, Dali Extra Brown, AN-A46 upside down, Hurricane Brown
FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 8/10 - The pattern is subtle yet interesting
Enlargement: 6/10 - Noticeable but little enlargement
Comfort: 8/10 - Just the usual thickness of GEO lenses, no discomfort so far
TOTAL: 7/10 - I am biased as I like weird lenses, but these are decent.


Thank you MukuCHU for the sponsorship!

FOTD - Cyborg Witch

A quick post with two Instagram photos of my look for a Sharon Needles event a while ago. I was going for a cyborg witch look, with gunmetal eyeshadow applied in a band that fades down from my eyebrows to my cheeks, giant black false lashes and black lips. My mom said the look reminds me of Black Swan (the movie) and I thought I look pretty awesome too.
