Uniqso Circle Lenses Review #1 - I.Fairy: Dolly Brown, I.Fairy: Cara Green & Dolly Eye: Sugar Candy Pink

Konnichiwa Minna-san! Today I have a review for Uniqso, and more specifically their circle lenses. I bought 3 new sets of lenses and 3 new lens cases to carry them in, so now we should get started on my review xxx!  


I bought three of these super kawaii Hello Kitty lens cases for only £1.81 each!!! It was too much of a bargain to pass up, they are amazing.  


Inside you have the lens cases with the L & R embossed on the top so you can know which lens is for which eye. With this case you also get a pair of rubber tweezers for picking up your lenses, a sucker-like device for taking out the lenses and a little vial, which I assume is for carrying lens solution.

Overall this is a very useful little set for the price, the lens cases are a little loose but i'm sure they won't leak if you take your case in your bag.  


If you aren't one for buying the lens cases, all of the lenses I bought on Uniqso came with their own free lens cases with cute designs on them for the L & R eye sections.  



This is the cute little boxes that the lens vials came in, which I think is an adorable touch and it definitely made me smile when I opened my parcel this morning!  


Here are the teeny tiny vials that the contact lenses come in. Each lens comes in a separate vial which you will need pliers or nail clippers to open.  


I wouldn't say that I have perfect vision, but I don't need glasses so I got my lenses in 0.00.  


The first pair of lenses I have for all of you is the Dolly Eye: Sugar Candy Pink Circle Lenses. These are supposed to be faintly pink in the outer rim with a thick black band around the outside of the eye. Despite the lack of pink I absolutely love these because they bring out my natural eye colour with the black rim. They are super super! comfortable and I can barely notice them in my eye even from the first wear. I highly recommend these for those who are wanting to accentuate their natural colour or for those with paler eyes where the pink may show up greater xx!

Colour Tones: 2 Tones
Diameter: 14.5mm
Replacement Period: 12 Months

Price: £11.15


First of all... The colour... I LOVE IT. I have always adored the amber/gold/brown eye look and finally I can have it myself. This is the I Fairy: Dolly Eye Brown Circle Lenses. These lenses are absolutely beautiful and bright even on my natural colour, which is fantastic. I find these lenses very comfortable despite their large size, and I found them very easy to put in as well which is a plus. These lenses are a whole 1.1mm larger than my Geo Medical Princess Mimi lenses which gives me the perfect doe-eyed look.  

Base Curve: 8.6mm
Colour Tones: 2 Tones
Diameter: 16.2mm
Replacement Period: 12 Months
Water Content: 55%
Price: £14.26


My final pair of lenses are my absolute favourite... Wow, that colour! These beauties are the I Fairy: Cara Green Circle Lenses. The colour pay off with these lenses is immense, especially in natural light. They remind me very much of new anime characters with the large marbling detail of colour, very pretty. These are just as large as the other I Fairy lenses and they are also very comfortable and caused no hassle. My one issue with these is the slight green hue that I get in the corner of my vision, but it's not really a bother for me, even though it might be for others. Overall I love these, the slight hue of green is worth the colour of these bad boys!

These are how each of the lenses have been featured on Uniqso, I added this here to give you an easier look at the colour of the lenses when they aren't in my eyes.

Holika Holika - Makgeolli Brightening Mask Sheet Review

Konnichiwa Minna-san! Today I have a Korean Skin Care product reviewed for you and it is a skin brightening mask. 

Korea is very well known for their skin care products and their skin brightening products which promote a healthier glow, I have tried many of these masks over the past few years but I've never thought in depth about how they made my skin look and feel. The mask i'm reviewing today is from the brand Holika Holika and it is the Makgeolli Brightening Mask Sheet!


The packaging itself is very thick soft plastic which won't easily tear if you are traveling, the packet can also be folded up as there is not a lotion inside which could burst. The inside is foil lined to keep the mask fresh.


How to use:
 
1. Cleanse your face thoroughly and use a toner. 
2. Apply the face mask and wait 15-20 minutes
3. Remove mask and rub the extra product into your face and neck and wait for it to dry.
4. If you have very dry skin then possibly add a heavy moisturizer on top.  


I LOOK TERRIFYING... It's the perfect mask for scaring your family & friends if you can't sit still for 20 minutes. The mask itself is absolutely freezing when you first put it on! It is definitely a shock to your system and will wake you up. It feels like thick tissue paper that has been soaked in a gel-like serum, which is actually after a while a very relaxing feeling and you can feel like it is doing some good to your skin. 

Overall - 8/10: I would use this again but not for its brightening qualities as i'm not sure I can see much difference in skin's glow. However it makes your face completely baby smooth, and that is good enough for me in all honesty. It might not be what it says on the packet but I enjoyed it and the experience is very relaxing and pampering.

You can find 5 masks on Amazon for around £17, which is a little pricey but the store I originally bought mine from is not selling them anymore.
