I recently decided to try out circle lenses.  If you don't know, they're contact lenses that are larger than average and designed to make the eyes appear brighter and "cuter" - just think of cartoon characters with their big, doll eyes.  Circle lenses are very popular in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.  Here's some photos ...

I noticed today that I'm ranked #6 on Google for the search phrase "asian beauty blog" (without quotes). C'mon Google, I'm not an Asian beauty blog! I have maybe 2 or 3 posts about makeup but most of my entries are about food or the random things I buy. I actually visit a few true ... See Full Entry »

I recently got a pair of the Italian-made Adore Bi-Tone colored contact lenses. Before purchasing, I looked through a lot of YouTube videos and other blogs and noticed that all the reviews were on lighter eyes. Even those who said they had "dark eyes" have what I would consider medium brown eyes. ... See Full Entry »

A while ago I posted photos of my Solotica Hidrocor Ocre contacts on my black eyes. I had written that I didn't really like the color, especially when compared to my Hidrocharme Mels. Also, I missed having the limbal ring which covered up any iris overlap. A couple days ago, I decided to give them another ... See Full Entry »

As promised, here's a picture I just took of my Solotica Hidrocor Ocre colored contact lenses on my nearly black eyes.  They look gray in these photos, but in real life I think they look more brownish-gray.  I asked Tim and he said they look brownish green.  Huh? I'm still getting used to them... they look ... See Full Entry »

A few months ago I decided to try colored contacts again after a disaster a few years ago. Back then I bought a colored pair, sight unseen, with my regular contact lens order. It was Acuvue 2 Colors in hazel. And it was horrible. The colored area looked like it was painted on harshly ... See Full Entry »
