Coloured contact lenses and my first pair of circle lens: GEO Bella Green

Hello ^^
finally I got some lenses and I will share with you my experience :)

Inspired by other Asian Beauty blogger I started to dream about huge, green eyes. Initially I thought I'm just going to do it hardcore way and just buy some lenses, without consulting it with specialist, I can put eye drops in my eyes with no problems, so I would be probably fine with lenses as well. I downloaded from the Internet a little handbook of how to insert/remove and care for lenses and... I realised it may be not that simple to just do it. Besides, eyes are very sensitive, so I would be better of consulting it with optician. However I was afraid, that if I go to the opticians and tell them, that I don't have any sight problems I just want to wear coloured contacts for fun, they wouldn't treat me seriously. I've put the whole lens case aside for "some day in the future".

Recently when we were in town my fiance went to opticians, because the time of his 2-year check-up was coming. Since I was there anyway I decided to give it a go and ask about lenses. All my concerns turned out to be unjust - for optician it doesn't matter if you really have some sight problems or just want lenses for fun - they still have to carry out same tests. I was treated in very polite and professional way. Luckily, someone didn't show up for their appointment, so I could squeeze in and have some tests done after only 10 minutes waiting. Firstly, I got my sight tested (as I thought it's perfectly fine), then eyes themselves. During the eye test for contact lenses, optician applies some orange dye into our eyes and then tests them carefully to check for any irregularities or dry ares on surface of the eye. Mostly for this test it is important to see the specialist before wearing your first lenses - your eyes can have some defects that you won't feel and know about, that can make wearing lenses impossible. After the tests, when we knew there is no issues with my eyes, I could choose the colour of lenses and then I was shown how to correctly put on and take off my lenses, how to clean them, how to check if they are not inside out etc. I was doing quite well on the practise part :)
Now the best part: the lenses that I have chosen - monthly disposables - I received for free as a sample. All the test were free as well. The only thing I have paid for was contact lens solution.
The opticians I went to was Specsavers (British optician chain). The tests are free at every opticians in the UK, but I don't know about free lenses. I can definitely recommend this company - my fiance always have glasses from them and he is very happy with them. The customer service was excellent - nice & professional - I was handled by three people all together and all of them confirmed that it's a good idea to get your eyes tested before wearing contact lenses.

The lenses I tested are Expressions Colour Vision in Aqua (14mm diameter). Colour is nice and vivid, around the pupil you can see a bit of my natural eye colour (grey), but colour of the lens blends in nicely. They are comfortable for approx. 11 hours - in general they're not supposed to be worn longer than 12h, but even if I would like to wear them longer, I don;t think I would manage. After 11-12h my vision starts to be blurred, it's hard to focus sight on small objects, hard to read.
During the first couple of days I felt that I have something on my eyes, but it wasn't annoying or painful - i just felt something under my eyelids when I was blinking. For the first couple of days my vision was also blurred slightly on the edges, but after few days I stopped feeling the lenses and my vision became clear.

in bright natural light (facing the window)

in dim natural light (window on the right hand side)

These lenses look quite natural - they don't make eyes look bigger, just give them more vivid colour. If someone pays attention to our eyes (for example I know all my friend's eye's colour) will notice the change straight away, especially that this colour is too vivid to be natural. If someone doesn't pay too much attention to the eyes (I know some people that even though they know me for years, they wouldn't be able to tell my eye colour without looking in my eyes), won't notice the difference. So couple of my friends and colleagues noticed straight away that there was something different about my eyes, but some people didn't notice the difference and even when I told them I have contact lenses on, they thought I'm talking about plain corrective ones.

After two weeks of wearing "normal" coloured lenses, when I was fully comfortable with them I ordered my first pair of circle lenses form Pinky Paradise on-line store. The choice of products shocked me, so I spend good couple of hours before I could make my mind. Finally I have chosen GEO Bella Green - I knew I wanted to start with green lenses and I have chosen GEO as this company is well known form good quality. I also didn't want diameter to be bigger than 14/14.2mm as I am still a beginner.

size comparison: "normal" lens and circle lens

As you can see GEO Bella are just a little bit bigger than normal lenses, but the trick lays in the colour print - while normal lenses have clear "margin", the circle lens are printed almost to the edge. The circle lens have also bigger "whole" for the pupil, so the natural eye colour will be more visible.

left: normal coloured lens, right: GEO Bella Green

 The enlargement is noticeable, but not drastic. GEO Bella look semi-natural - again, if someone pays attention to our eyes, would notice straight away, but there were still some people that couldn't see the difference. Those circle lens look more natural from closer distance than from far away - from far away you can just see the black rim around the iris, so much that "pupil" is less noticeable - so you can just see the black rim and the bright colour inside, what looks a bit alien like :P from closer distance you can see better the green colour and the pupil, so eye looks more natural.

left: my natural eye, right: GEO Bella Green

 Green looks nice on my bright eyes. Around the pupil you can still see the natural eye colour, but it blends nicely with lens colour. GEO Bella are super comfortable - I kept them on my eyes for "as long as I can take" out of curiosity and they were comfortable for 13 hours. Since my eyes were already used to the lenses wear, I couldn't feel them at all on my eyes and my vision wasn't blurred. I am wearing them for two weeks now, but sometimes I still have to try few times to put them on. I have no idea how I would cope with 15mm diameter 0o so in my opinion circle lens are not good for the first lenses.

A huge plus of Korean lenses is their lifetime: they are yearly disposables, while the optician's coloured lenses are only daily or monthly disposables. In reviews of some circle lenses we can read, that they became uncomfortable after for example 3 months, but it's still a better lifetime than optician's ones, considering that they cost roughly the same.

Summing up: I think that circle lens are very interesting product, if we fancy enlarging our eyes or changing their colour. But it is important to consult with optician before starting any experiments with your eyes. Excited with my first pair of circle lens I already ordered some more: pair of brown and pair purple ones. So I plan to spend a bit less on the cosmetics just now and dive into the lenses :D

Etude House Precious Mineral Cotton Fit BB Cream

This cream is my love-from-the-first-use!

 Product Description: Complete your makeup naturally keep whole day with gorgeous colour. Cover pore, blemish and skin trouble. Fine powder with pure and shine pearl extract makes your skin silky for 24 hours lasting makeup.

The full size product comes in 30g tube with pump, I was using sample sachets. A little goes a long way - sample lasted for 4 applications.

This BB comes in three shades: No2 Light Beige, W13 Natural Beige and W24 Honey Beige. My samples were in the brightest colour, which blended really nice into my skin. I still had some samples of Precious Mineral Bright Fit BB in Light Beige, so I could compare colours:

Both of creams are in the lightest shades available, but we can see that Cotton Fit is much brighter. The consistency is also different - while Bright Fit is runny, the Cotton Fit has nice, creamy texture.

The coverage is medium, easy to build up in places that need more coverage. It evens out and brightens skin tone, covers any redness, hides blackheads. Skin looks fresh and natural. It is a little dewy, but just a little bit - I was mattifying it with powder on my nose only. However, because of it's rich consistency I had to be careful with the amount used - too much would be to heavy on my oily skin. When the right amount is used, there is no influence on sebum production - my skin starts to shine after approx. 2-3 hours. It does roll up in the wrinkle on my forehead, but not terribly. It smells lovely - like a baby powder :)

The thing that I like most about Precious Mineral BB's is how long they last on face - some BB's just "disappear" after few hours, for this one it takes over 9 hours and three blottings until it fades. It's a little bit less lasting than Bright Fight, but still quite good.

Price: from £7 on e-Bay.

Pros:
+ nice colour, matches my skin well
+ creamy consistency
+ a little goes a long way
+ long lasting
+ lovely smell

Cons:
- need to be careful with amount used, too much can be easily too heavy  
- rolls up in wrinkles a little bit

Overall I'm very pleased with this BB Cream. I'm sure that at some point I am going to buy one of the Precious Mineral BB's in full size, but I'm not sure yet which one - or maybe both? ;)

BRTC Whitening & Repairing BB Cream

Review of my second BRTC product - enjoy! :)

Product description: Multi-benefit cover cream with whitening and wrinkle prevention functions cover naturally and evenly. SPF37 PA++.

The full size product is a 35g tube, I purchased three sample sachets. For easier application I decanted it into small jar:

This BB Cream is pretty similar to the Jasmine Water one. It's has creamy, thick consistency, that applies smoothly to skin. It offers medium coverage and is easy to build up if you need more coverage. However it can be a little bit heavy, so if you have combination or oily skin you have to be careful with amount used. This BB is very efficient - three samples lasted for three weeks of every day use.
Similarly like Jasmine Water, it's is quite shiny and using some mattifying powder was necessary for me. It's also not very good with enlarged pores - it doesn't cover them, actually I think it make them more visible.

The colour is pretty similar to other BRTC BB Creams.

As for it's whitening properties - it looks bright on skin, but it's a make up effect - for the three weeks of use it didn't make my skin tone brighter, but to be perfectly honest I didn't expect it to do so - at the end of the day it's a make up product, not whitening skin care cream.

I can't find the whole list of ingredients, however I can see it contains Titanium dioxide and Zinc Oxide, that are SPF filters that whiten up skin. It also contains arbutin that may help improve skin tone. For it's anti-ageing properties it contains hydrolized collagen and adenosine.

Price: the full size products costs from £10 on e-Bay, I payed £3 for set of three sample sachets.

Pros:
+ a little goes a long way
+ nice bright colour
+ high SPF filter
+ good coverage

Cons:
- very shiny
- makes pores more visible
- may be a little bit heavy

In general it's not a bad BB Cream, however I am not tempted to go for full size version. I would prefer something lighter and less shiny. But if you don't have problem with enlarged pores and excess sebum you may like it!

Skin Food Black Raspberry Eye Cream

Hello!
After over 9 months of use I finally used up Skin Food Salmon Eye Cream. I loved it and decided to try other eye cream from the same brand. Black Raspberry cream caught my attention as it looks just like pot of homemade jam!

Note: Black raspberry is not the same thing a blackberry. Black raspberry is type of berry native to eastern North America. Here is an article on how to tell it apart from blackberry.

Product description:  This herbal medicinal anti-wrinkle eye cream contains black raspberry extract, and jayangboeumdan and cheongyeondan extracted from 12 kinds of oriental medicinal herbs that have traditionally been used by women to treat rough, dry skin. It provides deep miniaturisation to skin in eye areas. Anti-wrinkle adenosine adds resilience to skin, keeping it healthy-looking. 

The original product is a cute looking, glass jar, containing 25g of cream. I ordered from e-Bay set of 10 sample sachets. One sachet lasts for 4-5 applications.

The first thing that I noticed about this product is it's weird smell. In general Skin Food is a little bit unpredictable with scents: Peach Pact has gorgeous smell of peaches, but Pineapple peeling gel doesn't smell like pineapple - but the scent's have always been nice, like Tomato serum or Salmon eye cream, that have lovely floral scents. But this cream is neither the raspberry nor anything floral. It has quite strong, earthy scent, hard to describe. I have very sensitive nose, so I could smell the weird scent all the way from opening the sachet, through application and the moment after. It is bearable, but not very pleasant. However after couple of uses I got used to it and now it doesn't bother me at all.

Cream has lovely, rich consistency, which I really like in eye creams. Immediately after use I can feel that my eye area is well hydrated, soothed and smooth. The cream is thick, but glides easily on the skin and what's really good - it absorbes into matte finish (the Salmon cream I was using before, was leaving skin shiny). Even though it's rich, it's not greasy.
 As for the results - I am using this cream for just two weeks now, twice a day and skin around my eyes is in excellent condition - smooth and nourished. When I apply cream in the morning I don't experience any dryness of the skin during the day. When I apply in the evening skin still feel lovely in the morning.
Because I use it only from two weeks or so, it's hard to tell about cream's anti-wrinkle properties. I have only one wrinkle in eye's area - it's "smiling" wrinkle under the eye, starting from inside corner of the eye and stretching horizontally. It is there from always (I got it there even on the pictures when I was like 14 yrs old), so it's more part of my feature than sign of ageing, but when my skin area is irritated and/or dried out it appears much deeper. During the usage of this cream it appears neat and small ;)

Price: from £10 on e-Bay, I paid £3 for set of 10 samples.

Pros:
+ nice, rich texture
+ well moisturising
+ leaves skin smooth
+ reduces appearance of wrinkles by keeping skin moisturised and nourished
+ a little goes a long way 
+ non-greasy

Cons:
- weird smell
- it doesn't do much about puffiness - but it doesn't promise to do so, so it's only like half-con ;)

In general I am very pleased with this product and I am seriously thinking about getting full size :)

Balance Active Formula Vitamin C Elixir Serum

Hello!
Today for a change I got a review of European product - my first Vitamin C serum.
Vitamin C is a popular ingredient in skin care products as it has many positive properties:
- brightens and evens out skin tone
- as effective antioxidant fights free radicals and supports UV protection
- works anti-inflammatory and can speed up healing process
- stimulates production of collagen is skin, making it smoother and firmer.
So if you have acne and scars or spots and would like to take care of them without resigning from anti-ageing products, Vitamin C is what you should look for in cosmetics!

Product description: Brighten up your day, starting with your skin! Balance Active Forumla Vitamin C Elixir is a concentrated and fast absorbing Pro-Radiance "Serum-Powder Mix" that contains active levels of Illumiscin* and Stay-C 50**.
How to use: Before the first use, pour the content of the vial in the Serum bottle, reclose the bottle and shake well in order to dissolve the Vitamin C powder in the liquid. Apply the Serum-Powder mix by gently smoothing it over face and neck. Use within 1 month from mixing and shake well before each application.

*Illumiscin® - patented complex of stabilised Vitamin C, Zinc PCA and Oleuropein, the most powerful plant active from the olive tree. Illumiscin has been proven to reduce the appearance and size of age spots, for brighter and more even skin tone.

**Stay-C 50® - is form of stabilised Vitamin C.

In the packaging we will find 20ml of serum in plastic bottle with pipette applicator (also plastic) and plastic vial with 1.8g of powder. Both bottle and pipette feel rather cheap, but well, we don't buy the product for bottle, do we? :D
Powder and serum are mixing up easily into smooth, runny, opaque liquid. Mixture has a little bit chemical lemon scent, like washing up liquid :P I am using the whole pipette content for my face, it takes a moment to absorb, but it's a good chance for some face massage :) In theory this serum is supposed to be followed by some cream, however for me it feel moisturising enough, so I just use it on top of Hada Labo lotion and follow by BB cream only. For more dry skin you may want to top it up with some moisturiser, for my oily skin this serum is enough, sometimes even too much for the am use.

Because the mixture has only one month life (in theory), I can't remember last time I was using any product so religiously, without any breaks to try something different. I use the product in the morning and in the evening every day, the month time is about to pass next week and the serum is almost done, so the capacity of product is well measured to it's short life.
I must say that I'm quite happy with how the products works on my skin. Used with whitening Hada Labo lotion helped me to brighten up my acne scars, took away redness of the troubled areas of my face. My skin is in good condition, maybe not especially radiant, but for sure not dull and brighter.

Price: I bought the product in TK-Max for £4.99, and the label says the RRP is
£10.99, however on Amazon it's £4.99 as well and on e-Bay we can find it in range of prices from £5 to £12.

Pros:
+ it does brighten and even out skin tone
+ easy to apply - cool pipette applicator
+ cheap, considering the result

Cons:
- only one month product life
- cheap feeling of the bottle
- chemical smell

Summing up, I'm quite glad I came across this product. It worked out quite well for me, probably if I would use it longer it would give even better result, however I have some other products waiting for their turn, so I don't plan to repurchase so far. But I definitely would be looking for some Vitamin C products in the future, perhaps famous It's Skin Effector.

Serum Ingredients: Aqua, Glycerin, Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Phenoxyethanol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan), Tocopheryl Acetate. Carbomer, Ascrobyl Glucoside, Olea Europea (Olive) Leaf Extract, Zinc PCA, Sodium Hydroxide, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Parfum.
Powder Ingredients: Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Aluminium Starch Octenylsuccinate.

Rohto Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Shirojyun Lotion

Hello ^^
Today I would like to review for you my first Japanese product: Hada Labo lotion. Hada Labo products have great opinion across many reviewers and are well know to everyone interested in Asian skin care products.
Hada Labo products are available on-line on e-Bay and Amazon, however be careful as many of them are offered by sellers from Thailand. As I said in my What you should be careful about when buying on e-Bay post, I always make sure I buy cosmetics from country of origin. With that particular product I've been lucky, as one of my colleagues was on holidays in Japan and kindly agreed to buy Hada Labo for me :) He said that Hada Labo lotions are so popular that they can be bought basically everywhere, not only in drugstores, but in places like railway stations as well! 

Product description: Fulfil your dreams of a white, perfect skin with Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening range that contains Arbutin to help fight dark spots and brighten up skin tone. Also contains Vitamin C to enhance skin fairness and reawaken dull skin caused by exposure to UV rays.

Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful anti aging ingredient in skin care. It is naturally occurring in the skin, but as we get older it's level decrease causing our skin to age and sag. It has ability to absorb water up to 1000 times its weight, what makes it one of the best moisturising substances known. Arbutin brightens up skin tone and Vitamin C

protects skin cells and skin's support structure from UV-related damage, improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin, reduce inflammation and promote collagen production. 

How to use: Use twice a day after cleansing face. Apply on palms and gently pat onto skin until thoroughly absorbed.



The lotion comes in 170ml plastic bottle. It doesn't have any other external packaging, the top of bottle is thermally wrapped in plastic.

The lotion has very watery consistency, whitish colour & subtle, hard to describe scent. I must admit that I find application a bit problematic, I'm very clumsy and always spill a little :P But even though I waste some of it one the floor, the product is very efficient. I use if from over a month and used up only 1/4 of the bottle.

Tapping lotion in the skin brings an immediate relief to skin dried out after cleansing. Depending on how much you use the application may take longer - on the beginning I was using too much and had to pat my face for a while. The amount shown on the picture is just about right for me - moisturises well whole face, I have to pat for a moment, but not too long. Straight after application skin is a bit sticky (both face & hands), but this feeling fades away after a moment or as soon as we top it up with another product.
What I really like about this lotion is the weightless feeling of ultimate moisture. Before I started using light moisturising essences like that (I was using Missha First Treatment Essence before Hada Labo) I often had problem with dehydrated skin - in the middle of the day under the sebum (I have oily skin) I would feel that my skin is tense, dehydrated. With Hada Labo I don't have this problem any more.
As for it's whitening properties - I definitely can see improvement in my skin, my acne scars faded. It's not a dramatic change and it takes a while to notice it - if I would use other products from line it would probably be more significant.

Price: from £13 on e-Bay (incl. postage), my friend payed for it in Japan approx. £8.

Pros:
+  moisturise skin
+ weightless
+ it does brightens a little
+ a little goes a long way

Cons:
- easy to spill during application
- a bit sticky after application

In general I'm really pleased with this product. Even if it wouldn't brighten my skin I would still be happy with it, thanks to it's moisturising properties. I am tempted to try other Hada Labo products :)

Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Arbutin, Sorbitol, PPG-10 Methyl Glucose Ester, Methylparaben, Disodium Succinate, Styrene/VP Copolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Succinic Acid, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Hada Labo Lotion is available in three versions: original Hyaluronic Acid one (white), whitening one with arbutin (blue one, my choice) and anti-ageing one with Retinol (red). In general all of them contains Hyaluronic Acid, so all of them are good for giving your skin extra moisture :)

Korean skincare routine: Layering

When you first start to browse for some Asian brands skincare products you may notice that each line has quite wide choice of products. In Europe we stick to approx. 3-5 step routine, ie. cleanser, toner, eye cream, day/night cream + eventually make up, in Asia skin care routine can take even 10 steps. It's called "layering" and the main idea is to go from the most light and absorbing into skin ingredients, to ones that stay on the top of skin creating protective layer.

Missha Stem Cell Line: Toner -> Serum -> Eye Cream -> Emulsion -> Defending Cream/Recovery Cream

Here is an example of steps with short explanation of each step:
1. Cleansing - in Asian way of beauty this is almost the most important part of a skin care routine, often extended to a "double cleansing" - first we are supposed to remove make up, sebum etc. with cleansing oil/cream/milk/butter and then follow with cleansing gel/foam/soap, we can also add some peeling gel. Remember - the cleaner you face is, the tighter pores are, as usually they are widen as a result of sebum/dirt stuck in them.
2. Toner - in Europe most of toners are astringents, supposed to make sure there is nothing left on our skin after cleansing, in Asia toners are usually more caring, moisturising and packed with goodness. Sometimes it has thicker consistency than a typical water-like toner. Some of them are containing alcohol, but they still aren't as harsh as some of European ones.
3. Essence - it's moisturising product, but with very watery consistence, sometimes as watery as toner. It's supposed to absorb completely into skin without leaving any residue. In some lines it may be recommended to use despite of toner.
4. Serum - Korean serums differ from what we know as a serum in Europe. When in Europe serums are often richer than creams and can be an alternative to cream in Korea they are rather light, non-greasy, supposed to absorb completely into skin. In some lines it may be used despite of essence.
5. Emulsion - it's another light moisturiser. It absorbs quite well and as I noticed from careful lecture of different reviews, some people like to apply a few layers of it. It may have milky or gel texture. In some lines it's supposed to be used straight after the toner, especially if line doesn't contain essence, in some lines it goes before serum, in some after serum.
6. Cream/Gel Cream - in some lines gel cream is supposed to be used first and then to be followed by cream, when in others they are substitutes of each other, so we can choose according to which one we like more. Both of them are supposed to leave a protective shield on the top of our skin, to prevent water loss etc. BUT it's not very common that creams would contain SPF.
7. Sun screen - sun protection is extremely important in Asian beauty care (read why [HERE]).
8. BB Cream/CC Cream/Foundation - as a last step of skin care and first step of make-up at the same time, BB Creams are also containing SPF; BB Creams offers some care + medium coverage, CC Creams are more caring, but with only light coverage.

Mizon Snail Line: All in One Cream -> Ampoule -> Eye Cream -> Recovery Gel -> BB with SPF -> Face mist

There is also a few steps that are either optional or depending on line, are supposed to be used in different order:
- eye cream - in some lines they are recommended to use after essence and before emulsion, some before cream, some don't specify.
- lotion - another type of fully absorbing light moisturiser, in some lines it's watery and used as a substitute of essence or toner, in some it's supposed to be used after essence or serum.
- mask sheet - it's a piece of material cut into a face shape soaked in product, which we put on face for some time. Depending on line, it's supposed to be used before or after toner or just whenever you like. There are also small "moustache" shaped masks specifically for nasolabial fold.
- patches - many variants of gel shapes or foil "stickers" designed to target certain skin concern - the most popular are acne patches and eye patches.
- ampoule - usually appears as a substitute to serum.
- primer/make up base - may be used as a make up product or instead of sunscreen if contains SPF.
- pact/powder - to mattify and/or add SPF.
- facial mist - usually there are two types: moisturising one, which can be used as a essence and during the day, whenever we feel we may need some refreshment and moisture or finishing one, working as make-up fixer.

Secret Key Snail Line: Face Soap & Face foam -> mask sheet -> Toner -> Essence -> Eye Cream -> Emulsion -> Gel Cream/Cream -> BB with SPF

As you can see order can be a bit different according to particular line, so it's always worth checking with particular product. You are also welcome to create your own routine, using product from different lines. The only time when I was actually using products layering was when I was testing out Skin Food Royal Honey Gift Set. The only problem with using so many of steps is that you can't see exactly what influence each product has to your skin, so I prefer to try only one/two moisturising product at once, to see how they work and be able to create my own perfect skin care routine one day.
