GEO Angel Violet CM-831 review

Well, this is half a review, since this is my first time purchasing & wearing circle lenses; therefore, I have nothing to compare to ..
I purchased these from iwantcute.com, here is a link to the actual lenses I bought if anyone is interested: http://www.iwantcute.com/GEO-Angel-Violet-CM-831.html
Okay first, here is a photo of how the lenses were sent to me~
They came with a standard free contact lens case too :3. I think the lenses took about a week and a half to get to me in the UK, but I'm not sure where they were sent from. I checked the website again (I probably haven't looked hard enough) and it does not say which country the lenses are shipped from, so delivery may differ depending on where you live.
Anyway! Trying them on for the first time did scare me a little as I didn't know how to get them out at all, but putting in the lenses was quite easy.
 Once the lenses were in my vision was blurry around the edges for a while, I couldn't look up without my eyes watering but I guess my eyes needed time to adjust.
There was a thickness to them as well, where I would blink and be able to feel the rim of the lens, however, I have no idea if that's normal since I've never worn any contacts before! Haha. Here is an example of how they look in natural light:
A lot of brown still shows in the centre but I knew circle lenses were designed with a large space along the middle anyway so that does not bother me. I wore the lenses for about two hours and I experienced a lot of watery eye syndrome!
Again, I think this is due to my eyes not being used to contact lenses.



Here is an example of how the lenses appear further away. I love the size of these lenses as they're not too overwhelming, some lens sizes make people look high! xD
Also, the colour is not as vibrant as I'd like it, however it does look very natural considering it is a violet coloured lens. The colour obviously differs in certain lights such as using flash: 
Pretend flames on candles ftw!!
Excuse my extremely derpish face...I was getting near to a slightly drunk stage. (Click to enlarge the image) Here you can see they are much more vibrant with flash. 
Here are some more images for y'all :))

Overall, they took a little while for me to get used to but they are lovely lenses~! I love the look of them although I would mark them down for comfort as they still blur my vision slightly around the edges :c


Camden + China town treats!

Here are some goodies I bought yesterday from China town :)
I was running low on decent stationary - I seem to only own broken things, pens that have run out or stationary that is difficult to use. I was going to just buy something cheap in WHSmiths but why do that when I can buy something cheap AND cute from China Town?
Cute stationary makes me happy, along with many other sad things ;3;

The pink packet is a face mask by 'Kiss Me' Heroine make and the masks pretty much look like this: 
Sexy face mask  

hahaha it makes you look like you've had plastic surgery, but its a great idea and the mask isn't messy slop that you have to wash off! I haven't used it yet, I'm sure there is only one in the packet...I don't know since the info is in Japanese... obviously (haha). I'm saving the mask for a nice evening out (although my skin is looking terrible right now, but I have work tomorrow, I don't care if I look spotty at work ;D)
I was going to buy a pack of face masks....but they were £16.99 altogether o.o Japanese BB cream was about £14.99, mascara was £16.99; some Japanese beauty products ranged up to £25 and I don't think it is worth the money unless I've read up a lot on a specific brand. Since all the info is in Japanese it makes me weary to spend all that money on them, so I bought a mini packet for £2.50 :) 
Okay right here.....*emotional* right here, are my babies bought in Camden ;3;
It was love at first sight I tell ye! They caught my eye straight away while I walked past, I picked them up, mouth open and the size on the shelf were my size! Woo!! Off my creepers flew and I BANGED these babies on (lolwot) and...the rest is history... hahahaha xD no but honestly I have been looking for thick high heel shoes for such a  long time and these are perfect!!

Also, I love the shop I bought these from! They constantly play kpop, sell cabochons, adorned in beautiful lace everywhere including the curtains for the changing rooms, handmade princess-decorated mirrors and boxes, adorable one-sized clothes that ALWAYS fit me and all the shoes in the store display UK size 3, its my shop I tell you!! :D Sometimes I go all the way to Camden just for that one shop xD...
o3o how adorable are these?! They're banana rubbers or "rober" as it was spelt in the shop hehe :3
Oh yeah, look what arrived in the post this morning!
I been listening non-stop to purely 2NE1 for about three weeks now, I'm so glad the CD finally arrived; now I can blast it all day at even louder volumes on my CD player ;)
And lastly, I found this adorable rabbit contact lense case for £2.50 :3 its purple as are my contacts ;). I love that there's a key chain at the end so I can keep my contacts with me while I'm out as well.
Its the perfect match you see.
u.u

So that's all m'dears :) I also bought myself a skirt, but I'll take a photo when I wear it properly. I'm going to stuff my face with strawberries and cream now omo
