Derailed

Gosh, I am so sorry for the long hiatus. Been busy with school and, well, procrastination. Mostly school. hehe. Anyhoo, I've got tons of review in line, but school starts in two days' time so I'm not sure if I'm going to get them all done by then, but I will try since I am a fan of bloggers' helpful reviews. So, without further ado, here is my post before we welcome the incoming year. :)

The WTA45 (Kira Kira) brown lenses. 

So here they are when I put them on

And this is my natural eye color (using Elf's false lashes)

As you can see, it blends really well with my natural eye color. You can only see the difference when you look really, really, REALLY close (which is too close for comfort for people, including me, so I don't think anyone but my boyfriend really gets that close to my face. lol). I thought that it was obvious that I was wearing circle lenses because they are SO BIG, but actually there were a few people who were mad confused if I was wearing lenses or not because it really looks like my natural eye color. haha! 

I do have to say, that as pretty as they are, they are not recommended for everyday use. I don't know if this holds true for others, but with me, I get sooooo sleepy when I put this on after about an hour or so. Maybe because it puts extra effort on my eyes? I get like that too with false eyelashes (even with half ones). But you have to remember, if you put these babies on, you have to wear a bit more makeup and play up your eyes and skin than usual because if you use this without the proper amount of make-up, you will look like an alien, especially if you don't have naturally large eyes (like Alison Harvard from ANTM). So I usually pair this with false lashes, so it's double the sleepy-ness for me. 

The thing is, makeup gives the illusion of larger eyes (like using eyeliner and/or the right application of eyeshadow). So, if you're going to use this, I suggest using more makeup than usual. Because if you're eyes do not accommodate the size of these lenses, you're going to look ridiculous. Case in point: 

Looking incredibly ridiculous

In this photo, I'm only wearing contact lens and minimal make up (because I was feeling especially lazy and tired that day. Guess it shows in the photo?). It doesn't look too horrible there because I'm only using webcam photos, but I did look ridiculous then. lol. Then, compare to this photo where I'm using the correct amount of make up for lenses this size.....

(I'm wearing shorts here, btw)

Better, right? So, for aspiring ulzzangs/starting gyarus or even for those who want to purchase these lenses, this is actually the more proper way to wear it if you don't want to look like an alien/lady gaga if you don't have naturally large eyes. I actually have small eyes (not too small, but they're pretty average). For example:

So really, I don't have very large eyes. But when I put make-up on (with lens).....

OOPS, I mean "FALSE" lashes, not falshe. hehehe

Tadaaaaa! Eyes look bigger. /please Magic. hehehe. I've read about those posts about make-up transforming other people and then people making fun of it, but in my view, anyone has the right to look good if they wanted to no matter what they use to achieve it as long as they never hurt anyone in the process. Everyone has the right to feel good, and one way you can feel good is to look good. So it's all right to wear make up. I actually enjoy putting on make up. It's just like painting; like art -- and the canvas is yourself. It is so enjoyable and I hope everyone knows of its joys. :) 

DISCLAIMER: There really is no right or wrong on how to wear lenses. This just serves as a sort of reference. This is what I think looks good and there is no right or wrong. At the end of the day, go for what makes you feel more comfy because feeling comfortable is also a main factor in feeling and looking good! :)

Oh wait, this was supposed to be a review about my brown circle lens, right? o.O Oh no, I got derailed. LOL. Wait, I'll post another blog devoted to my newest pair of lenses. /blur

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
