Geo Sakura Pink Circle Lens Review

Yay!! I finally finished school! It really was a week of torture though T^T! I got sick right before finals and then during that whole week, I barely got any sleep and just had a bunch of cough/ dizzy attacks. At least I'm done with all the testing ^o^♥ The only sad thing is after packing and moving out of dorms, I have to unpack everything =__=...and I'm still coughing to the point of no return. Other then that~I've accumulated some photos for a review =D!! Finally right??


Today my review will be on Geo Sakura Pink Lens♥

I actually bought the wrong lens. I was hoping to get something like the EOS jewel lens in pink but since the title of these lens were misleading, I bought them. On eyecandylens.com they were listed as Sugar Pink or Sugar Candy Pink..something like that ^^". After seeing the lens and researching on it, I found out it was the Sakura Lens by Geo.


         




 So these lens look pretty big and they are! They have a diameter of 15 mm and water content of 38%.
I was a bit shocked when I saw the ring was brown because the jewel lens by EOS look soo similar to these lens, except that the ring is black.

The lens I remember being quite comfortable but I usually don't have much problems with lens from Geo. The thing that made me unhappy was how the lens turned out on me. I'm not sure how they look on others, but on me it looks a bit scary. It's not the size~in fact the lens actually looks pretty proportional to my eye. I think it's just the color itself. The pink isn't very bright..I would say it looks a bit brownish purpleish and pink together? The color is didn't look that bad but I think it wasn't very flattering on my eye. I think the problem might have been the brown ring?? These lens made me look like a pink eyed rabbit or like a vampire...or like I haven't slept. It made my eyes look sooo tired and I just didn't like the effect. I might give this another try on a day where I get full amount of sleep but for now, I'm a bit disappointed. These are definitely not my favorite pink lens. I would say G&G max pure pink are the best ones so far~and Geo's Super Nudy Pink for those that enjoy a more stand out look.

Please don't be discouraged since not every lens look the same on everyone. I tend to have a problem where certain brown lens make me look really dead, tired, and dull while on others it looks brilliant! I'm just giving my opinion. As for photos of these pink lens, they actually don't look as bad in photos compared to real life o.o"!

RATING:

Comfort: 7/10 The comfort level is quite okai, not bad but not the best~
Enlargement: 10/10 It definitely enlarges and doesn't look alienish even though its 15mm!
Color: 3/10 I don't like the blend of pink with the brown ring. I think the brown ring and the pink gives a tired effect.
Overall:  6/10 I think this is the lowest I ever gave a lens based on personal preference. I don't mind if the lens aren't as enlarging as I like since I enjoy natural lens...but I really can't stand it when the color of the lens make me look um...not good? The main point I buy lenses are to look good ^-^ and I'm sure that's the main reason circle lenses are bought right?

$0.49 Chex Mix!?

This is a crazy good deal, but it's super easy and didn't require much detective work on my part to find.

Here's how to get Chex Mix for less than $0.50!

1.  Head over to one of these sites to print off a coupon for $0.50 off 1 bag of 4.5oz or larger bag of Chex Mix (which is basically the standard size bag)
- Coupons.com
- Allyou.com
2.  Get yourself over to Walgreens and pick up a bag- they're on sale for $0.99 this week!
3.  Take your bag to the cash register, hand the cashier your coupon, and dig in your pocket for two quarters.

And there you go!
Being a college student on a tight budget, I'm totally stocking up this week.  Unfortunately my printer gave me problems so I reached the print limit on Allyou.com (I clicked it too many times), but for anyone else it should work fine.  There was another of the same coupon available on Smartsource.com this morning, but it's not showing up for me anymore.

Good luck!  Happy Chex Mix!

Another Non-Beauty Post: My Everyday Favorite (Healthy!) Foods

Eating healthy foods and getting in exercise are pretty important to me.  Today I'm going to talk a little about the things I like to eat on a day-to-day basis.  I really thank my parents for instilling healthy messages in my head.  They raised me on lots of fruits and vegetables, which has in-turn made me love eating them as I've gotten older.  

Possibly my favorite snack of all time is apples and peanut butter.  I've read that with peanut butter you should eat the full-fat kind, instead of the reduced-fat (Like I have), but I'm so used to the reduced-fat that I just go straight for that.  I think it tastes just as good.  Another favorite snack that I usually eat before dinner is carrots and my favorite dressing, Kraft Light Three Cheese Ranch.  My mom raised me on Light Ranch, so I'm really used to eating it.  But this stuff doesn't taste light to me at all!  And I threw the blueberries in there because I could eat the entire package in one sitting (If they aren't soft and soggy).  Fruits are just so wonderful!

This is a portion of "my part" of the pantry (I live at home).  I love energy/nutrition bars as an afternoon snack, especially when I'm at work or going straight there to my boyfriend's house, who lives out of town.  Clif bars are my favorite, but I also like Luna bars.  This is actually the first time I've tried Balance (I've heard mixed reviews so we'll see!) Update: I LOVE these!  The cookie dough kind that I got taste just like a slab of cookie dough covered in chocolate.  The Special K Protein shakes are so yummy, and I have one some mornings alongside my breakfast.  I started drinking these when I was trying to gain some weight a few months ago, and I decided I really liked them.  They really help tide me over until lunch.

Side note- I don't eat/drink these just for the protein, but it does help give me energy and keep me full!

I love oatmeal for breakfast.  Typically I'll either eat this or a banana and a Special K shake (I'm not a huge breakfast person), it just depends on how much time I have.  I love that it keeps me satisfied.  Sometimes it even feels indulgent, but that's only really when I have the Maple & Brown Sugar kind and I slice up bananas.  

Lastly are pretzel sticks, and my goodness, I think people associate me with these and my fuji apples.  It's kind of sad, but I always eat them!  For some reason I just love pretzels, probably because of the saltiness and texture.  These were 2/$4 today at the grocery store too; I was happy! Haha.

Now this isn't to say I don't LOVE sweets, because I have a mega sweet tooth!  My godparents always sent me candy along with my birthday presents when I was little; I'm pretty sure when they thought of me they thought of swedish fish.  At any rate, I still love anything sweet, but I try not to eat much of it daily because so much sugar makes me feel sick.  On a regular basis I like things like those Clif bars (Maple Nut) that taste like dessert, to me anyway, but are still nutritional.  When I want to have something extra yummy, I LOVE me a Starbuck's Vanilla Bean frappuccino (Holy Lactaid!).

These are just some of the things I like to eat; they're not the only things I eat.  I don't get as much dairy in as I should, and it makes it harder that I'm lactose intolerant.  I try to drink skim milk or have yogurt on occasion, though.

What kinds of foods do you enjoy eating?  Thanks for reading!
