it was the first time I asked someone else to take pictures of my looks.... my other half helped me take these great pictures... I had so much fun!! 

I'm wearing GEO Angel Brown circle lens here... my eyes were hella red coz these pictures were taken hella late last night & I didn't have that much sleep... sorry if they look creepy!

& now I'm leaving you with my most fave pic of the bunch....

my ever supportive manfriend caught me doing this in between shots... "gee... thanks babe!!! my readers will love this!!"

BDAY LOOT: PRETTY & CUTE

atlast!! my Pretty & Cute package has arrived!!!!

this is what the items came in

they were very carefully packed in this box with a lot of styrofoam-peanut-thingies... & plastic bubble wraps were taped around the vials where the lenses are in....

as a free gift, I got this Hello Kitty contact lens case which I picked out during check out.. although I know I wouldn't really use it, I say 'why not?' if it's free...

& these are my new circle lenses....

why I got 2 gray colored ones?? I really dunno... but I'm not worried since their shelf life is 3 years, I can just save the other for later when the first one expires in a year...

CIRCLE LENSE PART 2

dang! I haven't been up on this b!tc# in a minute.... I've just been so busy with a lot of stuff... I would love to update you but I already had that lined up on the posts that I have saved, just pending for editing & posting... so just stay tuned for posts that will just pop out of nowhere...

one update I have to post about though is my 2nd set of circle lenses... I actually got em about 5 days ago, but I wasn't too excited to blog about it or even open it... I was too sick to care at the time... but I finally feel better so here are pictures of my new GEOs in Angel Violets...

why I got Violets is actually a long story... see, the company that I got my first set of circle lenses from - mesmerizedeyes.blogspot.com, closed out their store... didn't really give customers any explanation why except for it being a personal issue... it was a bummer for me coz I really loved my first pair so I searched & searched for other sites... but none of 'em actually measured up to what mesmerizedeyes can offer (cheap price + free shipping)... until I found geoeyecandy ... they have the same awesome deal, the only problem is that the girl that's running that online store has stopped selling prescription lenses... but she does have a few prescriptions left in stock... so I checked it out & all she has left for me is the Violets... to make the long story short, I took it coz I freaked out thinking that I wouldn't get any more circle lenses, it seemed like all of the circle lenses stores are going out of business.. so even if I wasn't sure how the Violets would look on me, I still ordered it as if it's the last circle lenses in the world...

haha... enough with the blah blahs... jeez!! I miss just typin away about nonsense stuff... LOL... I have been gone for too long....

anyways, I just wanted to say that I am glad I ordered from geo eye candy coz I was pleased with the service... I mean it took a little while before I got a confirmation email after I ordered it but I understand coz it does state on the site that the girl-Annie, that owns the store is a student... so that's all good... I was pleased with how fast she shipped them to me though... the packaging was good... but I'm mostly impressed with her customer service skills... I mean she really took care of me & all my questions... she made me feel really comfortable with the whole experience... she had also advised me that she MIGHT be selling prescriptions again in the future, but it's still in the works... so, it's definitely something to look forward to coz with my experience with her, I would definitely love to do business with her again...

so definitely check her site out @ geoeyecandy.blogspot.com
pictures to follow soon.....

STUDIO FIX PIX

I haven't really played with the MAC stuff I bought the other day that much yet... but I've worn the Studio Fix Fluid twice & so far, I'm likin it... here are some of the pix from today where I was wearing the Studio Fix Fluid foundation... we attended Davi's uncle's funeral...

R.I.P. UNCLE DAGUL

sorry, no close ups this time... but when I get the chance, IF I get the chance, I'll experiment with all my foundations & compare each one of them... but here are the products I used today:

FACE

Clinique Moisturizing Gel

Aveeno Sunblock Lotion - SPF55

Studio Fix Fluid Foundation - NC30

Studio Sculpt Concealer - NC30

MAC MSF - Natural

Milani Powder Bronzer - Light

Benefit Coralista

Evian Mineral Water Spray

I got to try my Stella square brush for the Studio Fix Fluid & it works the same as did the MAC 191 brush... & what's funny is that I used the other brush in the same picture in my Discount Mall post for the Studio Sculpt Concealer & it also worked like pro brushes!! LOL... for less that 5 bucks, that's pretty good to be compared to the MAC brushes.....

tata for now!!
