A few days ago I finally received my circle lenses in the mail! I was soo excited to finally be getting these!!

I had purchased the Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown lenses from Pinky Paradise

I paid $23.90 for these and a $6.00 shipping and handling charge. I also used a gurus promotion code which was very odd because it took off only 1 cent!?! The guru said that you would get a free lens case and a free gift as well.

As it turns out I received a hair velcro thing. I have been wanting one of these for ever!! But I always forget when I check things out on ebay! :-) So I super happy about that It comes with two pieces of velcro!

I also got a little animal lens case... I can never tell these things apart! But I've gotten circle lenses before and usually a company sends you one just for buying from them... I know that if you didn't use the code then you wouldn't get the extra free gift (velcro in my case) so I don't know if they send the lens case to you without the guru code unfortunately. If thats the case then that's pretty lame!

Also I was kinda shocked to see that the glass lens viles were only wrapped in tissue paper inside the postal package. I mean it has been cold weather outside so if these would have gotten bumped the viles would have broken!

I had purchased some lenses from another circle lens company and they sent the lenses in a cute gift box. So I very appreciative of that. The postage did take awhile. But that was due to Canada Post being a slow ass after receiving the package after customs viewed the package. :-( They waited a full week after customs was done before sending it out!!

Also I came to find that they didn't provide a paper of instructions and a "
what not to do & what to do" paper with the purchase. As they sell circle lenses they are different than your usual contact lenses. There are so many people out there who have never used them before. I mean they should be warning their clients a little better! I know how to take care of lenses but I am also very cautious when it comes to my eyes.

Alot of people aren't especially first timers thinking that its a snap. They do have this info on their site but its at the bottom... very useless for first timers! It should be at the top so that people can see.. also since it isn't in a good place they should be putting a paper inside every order regardless of who it is. It just shows that they care. thats all.. its those extra things that companies do that makes you feel special. I also didn't receive an invoice. :-(

But all in all I am happy with my lenses. I just thought that they would be a little more brighter. They should have a warning about that too! haha

Here is a picture with the lenses on! I love them... they are darker than my usual Geo Ash Wing ones but oh well... I still haven't figured out good eye makeup to where with these! haha

Here is a picture without flash and with flash... since my eyes are very dark almost black. So, they turn out to be a nice warm brown. Which is ok.. but I like my eyes to stand out. These lenses are 15 mm. So I get that big doll eye effect. My Geo Ash Wing ones are 14.5 I still get it but it isn't as dramatic

I have purchased from CandyLens and Pinky Paradise. I have a full review of the Candy Lens purchase here if you are interested → Candylens Review

As always thank you very much for reading!

I went to Shopper's Drug Mart about a week and a half ago. I had seen that they were having a sale on the Garnier Skin Naturals face products. So of course I had to get some because I've never tried them before! I also was in search of a face scrubber thingy! And I finally found one at my local Zellers!!! It's by Alpen and it was in this huge package and here is the bonus it was seriously like $1.50!! I was so happy because I was searching everywhere and I couldn't find one!

The Garnier cleanser and toner were around $8 dollars each. The moisturizer was about $11 dollars.. (rounding them off to the nearest dollar.)

I am really loving my new skin care routine and so is my face! I did break out the day after but now that i'm using these day and night they are going away. Also with the scrubber thingy my face has seriously never felt so clean. After the first use I was in love! I don't feel the need to use it in the morning but at night I do. If I don't exfoliate regularly then I notice that my face is dull.. I get clogged pores faster no matter what I use to cleanse my face with... my face flakes and over produces sebum. My face hates me if I miss cleansing it regularly. :-(

I didn't really like the smell of the Garnier products because they are the Grape Water ones for normal to combination skin. But it has grown on me and I do like it now.

Next, I had wanted to change foundation because the ones that I was using before just made me feel too oily even though it said that all skin types could use it... which is a total lie... I guess they meant all skin types excluding mine! :-(

I love this... but I got it a shade too light for me! :-( This was also on sale at my Shopper's Drug Mart for $13.99!! Alot of their Revlon stuff was on sale. I was going to stock up but good thing I didn't grab a bunch in this shade... I could have returned the others if I did but that would have been too much of a hassle for me! haha

Next up was our last stop and that was to La Senza! *sigh* this store is my fav! I am in love with everything in that store! Sadly this time I only bought their 5 panties for something sale.. I can't remember.. I can only remember the awesomeness of the panties! haha :-P I also got the 2 bras for something sale! haha I'm so sorry I can't remember the prices but if you live in Canada then you'd know about these sales because they have them basically all the time! ;-)

Sorry for taking so long to post! I've been super tired lately and a few times I did try and post but I would sit here and not know to post about. I have all of the pictures of the items that I've been receiving the past week and half or so. So, expect to see those posts coming up very soon!

Again, I apologize for being a total lazy ass! :-P

Thank you for being an awesome follower! You have no idea how much it means to me!

I <3 each and every one of you!
