Review :: AngelContacts.com (Circle Lenses)

I was contacted by a PR of AngelContacts.com (Brenda) to review 2 pairs of lenses of my choice. At first I was a bit skeptical because, I don't normally wear contact lenses (when I do it's usually clear and I wear them only to the gym - or special occasions) because I am most comfortable with my glasses.

But because I have seen so many beauty guru's blog/vlog about this company, I was very eager to try them out. It was even a bonus when I found out they offered their circle lenses with a prescription. I was hesitant because I have an astigmatism and wasn't sure these were going to work for me. I also have super sensitive eyes that get really dry easily (hence why I don't wear contact lenses all the time). 

I have tried many circle lenses in the past which have irritated my eyes right on contact with my eyes.  One time i tried a pair (that were real GEO lenses!!) and they just totally made my eyes blood shot red within an hour of wearing them.  So after that initial experience - I never wanted to wear them again and I did end up throwing away!

so, what are circle lenses you ask? Well just like your typical colored contact lenses (like freshlook/acuvue and whatever other company offers colored contact lenses).. they are cosmetic lenses that change the color of your eyes.. I used to wear them all the time back in high school.. The difference with circle lenses (which these type of lenses are very popular in Asia - where this originally came from before it started spreading here in the states, like many other things -- like BB creams).. 

But the difference between circle lenses and regular colored contact lenses.. is that - circle lenses are bigger in diameter to give your eyes a natural and noticeable enlargement to your iris.. meaning - they make your eyes look bigger, more doll like.. which is all the rave in Asia! who wouldn't want to look like a cute pretty dolly eyed beauty? 

The only problem was with the first pair i ever tried before - I guess the water content was really low, so it was very drying and didn't let a lot of oxygen pass through. I'm not sure if it was just the type of lens I got.. or if they just made the lenses with better quality.. because the lenses that I got from AngelContacts.com have high water content, meaning it holds on to water more, doesn't dry your eyes out and lets more oxygen pass through to your eyes.. and it's much more comfortable to wear.

I do recommend that you read all the instructions prior to wearing your circle lenses. In the video I briefly show you the card that shows how to open the separate vials of contacts, as well has the little pamphlet it comes with that shows how the lenses should look like when you apply them, the correct way to remove them and the proper way to clean and care for them.  These circle lenses are different than your average colored contact lenses because they supposedly last for one year (compared to 3 months).  

This specific company states on their website that their GEO circle lenses are Health Canada certified and US FDA 510(K) approved and are completely safe to wear.  Like I mentioned they contain high water content and are maximized for comfort.  the way they are made allows them for more oxygen to pass through resulting in long lasting comfort.

In the video, I mention you should soak them in regular contact solution instead of wearing right from the vial - I mention this only for safety precautions. I have worn them straight from the vial and nothing did happen to my eyes, but just for your safety - I would definitely recommend soaking them - you know, to clear them from any bacteria or germs. Remember to properly clean your circle lenses as with anything else you put in your eye because these are the only pair of eyes you have! 

So I definitely recommend these contact lens company for those that are new to wearing lenses - they are easy to use. Also for anyone who is already a contact lens wearer and wants to add more color to their collection or like myself - just nice to have for nights or special occasions where you wanna glam up!

The shipping was extremely fast! Like I mentioned before, I have ordered circle lenses before from an international company and was not satisfied at how long and tedious the process was (couldn't track my package because it would be too expensive and the company i purchased from did not offer that). 

I love how nice and friendly staff is at AngelContacts.com is - with answering any questions etc.. so definitely recommend them to you! and here are some pictures that I took wearing both the GEO Nudy Gray as well as the GEO OL Brown..  

GEO Nudy Grey Circle Lens review from DBeautyShop.com

I was contacted by a representative from DBeautyShop.com, They asked If I would do a video review on their lenses (of my choice).

I went ahead and opted for their GEO Nudy Grey Circle Lenses because I just loved how it looked on their Model, and was hoping I would have a similar look and I wanted something different - since i had brown, dark gray, green and blue lenses.

It took 2 weeks to get to me which I was hoping I would get it faster that that, because of my experience from KoreaBigEyes. But They were totally worth the wait!

Here are pictures of the packaging:

Here are some pictures of the lens containers/bottles that it comes in and what they look like





And the FREE contact lens case that comes with each purchase:

LOL Sorry, very unflattering angle of my eyes. I can't look at the camera, with it being so close, i ALWAYS come out lookin' crosseyed! :D



and remember i posted a video on how to open the circle lenses in their bottle cases on my last review? well if not here's the video - don't mind the subtitlte - it's just the same concept of opening it:


Here is My Video review on the lenses From DBeautyShop.com


Color: 5/5
Enlargement: 5/5
Comfort: 4/5
Overall Rating: 5/5
Overall, I absolutely LOVE these lenses. I actually think these are my new favorite pair! It's not too bright and quite natural looking (I know the pictures show they are real light, but they actually look really nice) In my video I said I liked the more "natural" looking ones.. LOL I meant I liked the gray/black ones more than like bright green/aqua blues etc... I love the enlargement because I love the Dolly-Eyed look! It's a lot more comfortable than any of my other pairs, which I LOVE - I had no problem using them, my eyes are normally sensitive - so that's why I gave it a 4, because they do dry the eyes out a tad because their water content is less than normal contact lenses.

I love how it looks on me, and how it kind of has a halo effect around my eyes! So yes - I LOVE THESE! I'd probably use these a lot more than just special occasions, maybe everyday! lol.. okay maybe not, but i'd surely wear these out often as they are not extremely noticable like my other pairs that I have.


My Overall experience with DBeautyShop.com was amazing. They were extremely polite and helpful. Like I mentioned in my video, their communication with me was awesome! Kept me in the loop through every step! Although the prices are a bit higher than what i've spent before, I definitely wouldn't mind spending the extra cash for these amazing lenses! totally worth the wait!


Thanks and I hope the video/blog was helpful! :)

Target Thursday.. upcoming Giveaway!!.. name change?! so muchh!

Yes! I did go to target after work, but I was sort of rushed since Hubby was really hungry while we went, and we decided to bring our youngest daughter Jasmyn with us.. So.. my time was cut short.. Not only that, but omg the place was flooded with people. I guess last minute shopping for V-Day! yikes! lol..

Anyway, the short time that I was there, i was able to quickly find these items because i've been desperately searching for a foundation that I like.. and heard all the rave about this on YouTube and Makeupalley so I decided to see for myself..

I didn't have much time to check the colors LOL (always sucks to be rushed).. so we'll see I got Medium Beige i think..

But here's picture of the stuff I got:

L-R -- Nude Attitude L/S, ColorStay Foundation, Mauve it Over L/S


This actually looked a lot better when I did a better job blending it in lol, sorry for the crappy application job LOL! but I like it!


I LOVE this one too! we'll see though, I Love it a little bit more than my NYX lipsticks that I have in this similar color because when I apply it, a little goes a long way.. not like the NYX ones, I have to put a lot on.. but that's just me.. still love all my lipsticks! Just need to actually use them! LOL

I'll give you all my thoughts and stuff on the other foundations/powders that i have.. when i get the chance.. i'm hoping i've found the one though! we'll see!

When I originally made my youtube channel - it was completely random and spontaneous.. and now i'm like hmm.. because I'm really not used to be called Khris lol.. it's either Khristine or Xtine (pronounced ex-TEEN).. so it kinda.. well not bothers me, just feels awkward for me LOL..

and was wanting to change my blogspot to randomnesswithXtine.. but it rolls off the tongue better as randomnesswithkhris.. *sigh* lol.. i'm SO indecisive with names LOL! Ask anyone that has known me - i am notorious for changing my online screen names a million times before it suites me.. What do yall think? Keep it? Change it? HALP! lol..

anyway - i think that's it for tonight! I'm pretty excited for this weekend - to be doing my DBeautyshop review on the circle lenses, and also my "neutral" look tutorial :) weee!

Any requests?

But on a brighter note, i posted on my twitter today (@RandomnesswithK) that As soon as I hit 100 Followers here on My Blog and a 50 subbies on my YouTube Channel.. I'm going to be doing 2 separate Giveaway products! :) I'm very much excited as i've reached 20 subbies so far on my Youtube page! :) So Please Spread the word! :)

alright Beauties! That's it for now!

Catching Up with stuff..

Sorry My posts haven't been all that interesting this past weekend - I've been pretty sick with Gastritis etc and so I haven't really been "all there" lol.

So let me just recap the weekend and everything a little bit more - and of course go over this week thus far.

Well I'll start over with Sunday - I forgot to mention that during the game, I went with my mom to this store in LA, i think it was called "Kim's Home Center" ... and i was just browsing around with her.. I love stores like this, they have all these neat and cute little gadgets for almost everything/anything you could think of!

Of course I didn't really see much I liked except these products. I don't remember where i heard of them, but the name sounded/looked familiar, and I was looking for a facial wash and decided to just try it out..

The brand is Kracie/Naive:


I got the peach and the aloe vera washes..


Had to get the matching Shampoo/Conditioner - just to try it out

They all smelled amazing! And I love that! lol.. But I did try out the peach facial wash, and i must say - it made my face feel super soft/silky afterwards.. As I was washing the soap off, i could feel my skin getting squeaky clean LOL.. it didn't burn my skin or anything - so I liked this one.. I am still going to get the Laneige facial wash though - because the samples that I had gotten, I finished and I absolutely loved how it removed my makeup completely! (which other soaps have a hard time doing)

Anyway - I forgot to mention about the time I went to Ulta.. I bought this facial cleansing sponge that I wanted to all share with you.. It's SOOO Soft! I love washing my face with this, it's not harsh and abrasive to my skin, and it gets in all the right spots (corners of the nose etc).. so this was awesome - luckily i bought 4 of them since they were like 1.50 each.. :) yay! this is what it looks like:



so yea, we just finished up sunday watching the rest of the game and hanging out with family.. lol that was that.. :) Here's a picture of my youngest daughter and I just chillin' - LOVE her "cheeeese" smiley face hehe


so next, I'll start with Tuesday..

I typically only work half-days on tuesdays, because I was hired for only 36 hours at my job.. i wish it was just the whole 40 hours sometimes, but I guess i'm really happy I do get that half-day to myself/kids/family etc.

My Package from DBeautyshop.com finally arrived! i'm so excited, but wasn't feeling well enough to do the review.. I'll save that for this weekend if possible.. but anyhow..

I wasn't feeling well so I just kinda slumped around at home.. But Towards the end of the night, the pain was just getting so severe that I couldn't take it anymore and I was actually in tears from it.. Sadly to say, I had no one to watch my girls so that I could go to Urgent care (since it was after 5 and the doctor's offices are usually closed).. and My hubby was working but wasn't answering the phone there.. so i was just writhing in pain at home.. while the girls were just going nuts LOL..

but Finally hubby called home and i was bawling cause the pain was just horrible.. and so they sent him home from work, so that he could take me to the hospital.. and glad he did.. they did some blood tests - which of course came back negative.. and diagnosed me with Severe Gastritis.. so i'm not supposed to eat anything greasy, spicy, no chocolate, caffeine.. basically anything good that i like haha.. ;)


And since they gave me Phenergan (for nausea) and Morphine (for the pain) injection.. i was knocked out most of today! so i slept all of today, and woke up only to eat crackers here and there, take some antibiotics from my last trip to the doctors lol.. but otherwise feeling better..

I'm going to be doing my video review on the circle lenses that I had got from DBeautyShop.com (they had asked me to do a video review if they sent me circle lenses).. I"m very much excited!

I also wanted to do another make-up tutorial.. so keep an eye out for that! ;)

Alright everyone.. till next time!

KoreaBigEyes.com Complete Review & Haul

So I'm very excited to announce to you all that the package that I was telling you about (well one of them) had arrived yesterday.. and i was SOO excited.

I don't know if you all remember my previous post "You Look like a Doll!".. was the first time i used/told anyone about the Circle Lenses..

So I had originally purchased the Big Brown DM23 & Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in Green from KoreaBigEyes.com .. They later asked me to do a video review for their company, and that they would send me a free pair. I chose the Hypersize Gray.. and loved the Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in Blue, I asked them to add it (I payed for that one).

So i'm going to be doing a review and haul on ALL of the lenses that I Own (all from KoreaBigEyes.com)..

But Firstly here are pictures of the package etc:



The package itself





The Contents of the package





The Free Contact Lens cases each purchase comes with






The Well Packaged Hypersize Gray Contact Lenses












The package that the Neo 4 Tone (Blue) Come in (it comes in a box, but i removed these from the box)



Then a real quick way to open your Circle Lens bottles (i know i was confused at first lol) so hope this helps, I recorded it really quickly - so please bare with me haha!



Here is the Review/Haul on the Lenses..





So here are some pictures:
Big Brown DM23



Color: 4/5
Enlargement: 5/5
Comfort: 3/5
Overall Rating: 3/5
Overall, these are great to enlarge the eye, without having a really bright color, it is very drying (for me) so the use of rewetting drops was a MUST for these lenses. But otherwise - it gives a great dolly-eyed look! and will probably use these on special occasions!

Hypersize Gray (My free pair i picked out)
(sorry i look like crap - this was the end of the day and all my make-up had worn off)

Both Eyes - NO flash (lol i look cross-eyed!)



No Flash - side view



With Flash


Color: 4/5
Enlargement: 5/5
Comfort: 5/5
Overall Rating: 5/5
Overall I love this pair, and these are one of my favorites thus far. It made my iris' large! and I loved the dolly effect. What i didn't like was, in flash or in bright areas, the color looks more blue than gray (to me at least), but that doesn't post a problem. It's one of the more natural colors, like barely wearing anything - and i like that for everyday use. This was pair was MUCH more comfortable than the above mentioned, so i'd probably wear this everyday!

Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in GREEN
(sorry i have barely any make-up on and it really does make a difference! ew!) but just to give you a general idea)

With Flash




Both No Flash


Color: 5/5
Enlargement: 4/5
Comfort: 5/5
Overall Rating: 4/5
Overall, These are super bright greenish colored, it looks like a very natural vivid green (if that makes any sense loL).. I know in my video i said it didn't make your iris size bigger, but in pictures and after wearing it and looking at the video, it does, but slightly.. I guess it's because it's a lighter color than the other two, so you can't see the difference as well. But these are very comfortable.. These are very brightly colored, so i'll wear them for special occasions.


Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in BLUE





Color: 5/5
Enlargement: 4/5
Comfort: 5/5
Overall Rating: 4/5
Overall this is my second favorite pair of circle lenses that I own.. Just like the Green ones, it's very bright and it's super exotic and something i'd wear to go out, or maybe everyday depending on what i wanna look like, but it's super comfortable, and really cute in person/pictures! i don't look like such a brown-eyed babe with these on! I Love them!

So overall my experience with http://www.koreabigeyes.com/ has been an absolute pleasure!
Lovely service...Extremely awesome prices...Protective packaging...Fast Shipping (TOOK 5 DAYS!!) (Depending on location but promises it will arrive within 2 weeks)

So if you like what you see, and now you know my secret! please tell them Khristine or RandomnesswithKhris sent you! :)

Thanks and I hope the video was helpful! :)
