Uniqso Review ♥ I-Codi Colors of the Wind No.20 Melon ♥ Circle Lenses on light blue eyes

Hey sweetiepies!
After I'm fiiiiinally done with most of the work for my university (I study social work) I am free again. Free!! Can't believe it, it has been so stressful the last months. But now I have the March to relax und fully get my energies back, and to think of some nice new reviews I could do for you all.

However, today I got another Circle Lens review for you! This time for a green pair, from a brand I tried out the first time: I-Codi. They have a huuuuuge color range with fantastic colors, but I always worried if they are not a little uncomfortable due to their fairly lower water content of 38%. And, was I right? Let's find out.



Short summary: What are Circle Lenses?



Circle Lenses are like usual contact lenses, just that their diameter is larger than the regular ones. Soft contact lenses are around 13,8 mm in diameter - Circle Lenses (which are btw always soft so they can contain more water) are often 14 mm, 15 mm or more. This makes your eyes look bigger and dollier. You can also play around with different designs and colours, so you have a great variety for makeup looks or cosplay characters. I personally wear them to enlarge my eyes because I think it looks cuter with the bold makeup I wear daily. Furthermore, they often have prescription, so if you're just as blind as me, you don't have to wear glasses, and they last about a year. 

 

About Uniqso 


Uniqso has a reeeally huge range of circle lenses, wigs, lashes, socks and cosplay items. They are founded in Malaysia and guide their shop since 2011. With over 800 different lenses from different brands like Kimchi, EOS, I.Fairy or Beuberry they are a big company with a lot of featured bloggers. I think they have really cheap prices and I heard that their wigs have a good quality as well. Moreover, their packaging is adorable, which is perfect for me since I love cute packagings so much. I buy my Circle Lenses from Uniqso since 2012 now and I can honestly say that they never let me down.

Okay, if you are visit my blog more often, you already know at this point that I usually place a picture of the other colours here. BUT darn. The colors of the Wind from I-Codi have a laaaarge variety of different shades, which are all so beautiful! This blogpost wouldn't take an end if I'd place the pictures all here. Instead, I will just provide you with the link to the overview to all the colours!

And here it is: Overview of all the colours from the "Colors of the Wind" series!




Base Curve: 8.6mm
Diameter: 15mm
Durability: 12 months
Water content: 38%
Prescription: 0.00 to -8.50


Shipping


DHL Express shipping bubble wrap envelove!



Your glass bottles come bubble wrapped in a tiny gift box, and you get a free circle lens case to your order. The color is chosen randomly, and I got a jackpot with the pink ones again >v<.


Thanks little bubble bear for wishing me a happy year 2016. So cute ♥


 My prescription is -3.00 if anyone ever wonders by the way. They fit good for my bad eyesight so I don't have to wear my nerd glasses.




Review & Rating


Design:
Ok so the design REALLY reminds me of the I.Fairy Lucius Grey I reviewed in November 2015. I will review the link to them here! They barely have the same kind of pattern, only the outer ring is not pitch black from the I-Codi lenses (which I like by the way because they make them a liiiittle more natural than ultra black ones). The different shades of green make them look so interesting, so I give the design 10/10 ♥ since it blends in perfectly with my eyes and just looks stunning!

Color:
The green is not as bright as I hoped it would be and you it's more of a blueish green on my eyes. I'm a liiiittle disappointed by that to be honest, as I really hoped for a nice pair of super green lenses. But They are still pretty, so I'm not too sad. At least the different shades of green look really cool when you look quite closely at my face. 6/10 ♥

Comfort:
Here, they definitely won't get ten hearts. Nope, not at all. I wore them three times, and they were always a little uncomfortable and made my eyes tear/dryish after super short amount of time. And with super short amount of time, I mean like already after half an hour. I noticed it less or more sometimes, but I can't fully recommend them. The design is amazing, yes, and they come in super cool colors, but if you have really sensitive eyes (I do!), these are probably not the very best ones for you. If you never had any problems with dryness or teary eyes caused by circle lenses, you shouldn't have an issue though I think. 4/10 ♥

Price: 
$22.90 is the usualy price range for a pair of 1 year disposable circle lenses. That's okay. 8/10 ♥

Shipping & Uniqso:
Perfect as always. Customer service on point, shipping took a little longer due to the February holidays (so like 3 weeks instead of 1 to 2), but that's okay for me. The DHL Express shipping was $15 to Germany, but you can also choose DHL Global Mail for $7.90 - it just takes some more time to arrive to you then! 8/10 ♥

All in all: 7/10 ♥


Photo Time!

Uniqso Review ♥ GEOLICA Euro Pearl Grey ♥ 3 Months Circle Lenses on light blue eyes

Heyhey sweethearts!

How are you? I hope you're feeling really good! The second month of the year is already as good as over, I can't believe it. Today I have a review for you once again, for a really natural pair of circle lenses this time. Moreover: They're for 3 months only! This means for me, they'll last until the very end of May. So let's take a look at them!


Short summary: What are Circle Lenses?



Circle Lenses are like usual contact lenses, just that their diameter is larger than the regular ones. Soft contact lenses are around 13,8 mm in diameter - Circle Lenses (which are btw always soft so they can contain more water) are often 14 mm, 15 mm or more. This makes your eyes look bigger and dollier. You can also play around with different designs and colours, so you have a great variety for makeup looks or cosplay characters.

I'm actually impressed GEOLICA / Geo Medical put some instructions in the packaging. It's great for beginners and you should definitely take your time to read it.







Review & Rating


Design & Colour: 
I like the design and the colours a lot! The pattern is really interesting, I love how the sand colour blends with the grey and even black. The name "Pearl Grey" really fits in my opinion. So these lenses don't look boring at all, even without a black outerring. Of course, they are not huge in diameter, and they don't give a dolly eye effect at all, but that's not what they are intended for anyways. I can definitely recommend them if you want to have an interesting eyecolour which stands out, but still looks natural. Love them for these kind of looks! 9/10 ♥

Comfort: 
I think they are comfortable, I didn't have issues with putting them in or wearing them. However, it's a little sad that they only last for 3 months instead of 1 year, but it's okay. *sigh sigh* 8/10 ♥

Price: 
They're $20.90, which would be an usual price for circle lenses which last for a year, but since it's the price for only 3 months of usage, I'll give it 5/10 ♥!

Shipping & Uniqso:
Perfect as always! Their customer service is seriously the best in my opinion, as you'll always receive a quick and friendly answer to all of your questions. The shipping was $15 for the DHL Express shipping. It took a little longer since usually because Uniqso's suppliers had a vacation due to their holidays, but I absolutely understand that. Usually all of their mails arrive within 1 to 1 1/2 weeks, now it took 2 1/2  - 3. However, you can also choose the shipping option DHL Global mail, which is only $4.90, but keep in mind that this will take longer than the Express method! Fortunately I've never had problems with the German customs, as Uniqso always declares their mails as a gift. Yay! 8/10 ♥

All in all: 7.5/10 ♥

Photo Time!




Excuse the awkward close-up, but I think you can see the pattern of the lenses really good there... It's so interesting!

Okay little sweets, I hope you enjoyed this review :3 I think it's good to have a natural pair every once in a while, so you can put on some simple makeup (less than mine, apparently) and just not look like you have huge alien eyes when you're too lazy to put on anything at all. I think I'll use them for lazy days at university or for really catchy, dark cat-eye looks. What do you think of them?
I'd love to hear your opinion! (I'm the very most active on Instagram, so leave me a comment on there for an instant reply! ♥)

Little Lycan Review: Fluffy Realistic Kitty Ears and Tail ♥ Custom Kitten Gear

Hey sweetiepies!



After I finished and passed all of my exams in university, I decided that it's finally time to treat myself to something cute again. Really cute. Really really cute. And what's cuter than some cute kitten gear? I searched for the perfect shop for a long time, since I prefer realistic but still cute looking cat ears. There are many shops out there, but they are too pricey, don't take customs for a long time or too cartooney. A cutiepie on Instagram recommended me Little Lycan then, since they were just about to open their shop. I have been lucky enough to grab a custom tail and pair of ears when they just opened on 1st February 2016!



About the shop - Little Lycan


Little Lycan sells handcrafted tails and ears - not only for kittens, but also puppys, wolfs or bunnys (and I'm sure there's much more to come). And extra special, not only made of regular fur but also needle felted crafts can be bought! Oh, and cute ears on hats, berrets and caps. The whole shop is run by one super dedicated and hardworking girl alone, so I'm happy I was able to grab a custom order, as the slots are taken pretty quickly. But from what I've heared through Little Lycans Instagram there will also be a couple of releases that will be coming up. So if you're interested in buying something from the shop, I'd recommend to follow her Instagram, not only for updates, but also because she is currently hosting a giveaway where you can win your own custom set. Why not hoping to have a little luck once in a while?

Review and Rating


What was requested? + Price!
I requested the standart sized fluffy kitten ears from her. Fur in white, inner part in baby pink, really simple. The only "extra" I requested was that the top part should be a little shorter than the lower extra floof part. They were only $27! For the tail, I requested an 18" (45cm) long tail in her wolf style, since my favorite cat breeds are super duper fluffy ones, like persian chinchilla cats. I chose the ribbon attachement so I can wrap it around my hips, knot a cute bow in And it was only $15.
She gifted me the four detachable bows since I bought a complete set, she even went to shopping only to get me some golden jingle bells. (I love jingle bells by far too much, my love for them became stronger since I wear them all the time). On top of that she included the cute little socks that I showed before! Fluffy, cute, white, and free size - they are perfect.

The shipping was $13 for me from the US to Germany, but it will be $22 dollars in the future due to adjusted cost calculations. I got it in a bubble wrapped envelope and it arrived safely without any damages, but if you want to be really safe, you have the option to get your stuff shipped in a box. It took two weeks to arrive here, and an extra big plus point: No problems with customs at all. Yay!

The processing time was super short by the way. It didn't even take a week since mine was one of the first order she sent out. The processing time in the future should be around one or two weeks I think, which is incredibly fast. A lot of kitten gear shops have their processing time within a couple of weeks, so I'm really happy she puts all of this effort in it to keep it so short. 

Design:
I really love how realistic her ears and tails are. The kitten ears are attached to a black, really slim metal headband, which doesn't hurt on my head at all! I get a headache pretty easily when I wear heavy headbands or when they are too tight around my head, but this is perfect. Even after a whole day of wearing them (yes, I run around in the house like this), I didn't have any issues. You can freely move your ears up and down the headband, depending on where you want them to sit on your head.
What's also kinda important to mention: When your ears will be shipped, you have to fold and fluff them a little yourself, as they have to be flat to get shipped and not damaged! That is pretty easy though, just bend them in the direction they should be, and everything is fine. I think Lycan has a picture where she shows what's best to do on her Instagram anyways.

The wolf tail is SUPER fluffy and pretty stuffed. That means you can't really bend it, and since it is not wired at all, it wouldn't stay in a position like this anyways. I just wrapped the ribbon around my hips and made a bow at the front, and it stayed perfectly like this. You don't notice it under skirts or dresses at all - or at least when they are not super tight. I had to bind the tail pretty low so I don't have a bump showing where the tail starts under my skirt. Attached like this, the 18" (45cm) tail ends a bit under my knees, and I am 5"4 tall (1.67m). 

Quality:
I'm super happy with the quality! She really puts so much effort to her products, I can only repeat this! The fur doesn't shed and is really soft and fluffy, the set will last a loooong time I believe. The ends of the ribbons weren't sewn, so I just cut down loose strings , but that's the only little issue. But really,everything is in a really lovely quality I can greatly recommend. 


All in all: Completely happy! ♥

























Okay cuties, I really hope you enjoyed this review! Once in a long time something else for once :D When you have questions or concerns, feel free to leave me a message - the fastest would definitely be through my Instagram (@sugar.mew)! Thank you really much for reading or looking at my pictures. You're the best!

I hope you have a lovely day ♥
