GEO Angel Blue Lens~ Review [Sponsored]

 The lovely and cute AngelContacts sponsored me 2 amazingly comfortable Geo lenses~
I've been curious and wanting to try Geo lenses because people have told me they're one of the most comfortable brands, but I've always been hesitant because they all only come in 14mm, which seems so small and not enlarging to me, or so I thought.
AngelContacts is a small online shop based in Canada (Vancouver and Toronto) and specialize in cosmetic GEO Circle lenses. 
I really enjoyed looking at their site because it so simple and clean and very easy to navigate.




 Just like their site, their packaging is simple and clean, not to mention really cute and convenient!
I was so impressed with how everything fit so well!

 Not to mention they have instructions on how to open the bottles! Sheesh, I wish I had this when I first started with circle lenses!

 And on top of that they even include a how to put on circle lenses and take care of them! It's like a beginner's dream guide!

 Seriously, I'm so impressed with the packaging, it's just so straight to the point and neat~
Here's the stats:
Diameter : 14mm 
Base curve : 8.6mm 
Center thickness : 0.04mm 
Water content : 38% 
Lasts up to 1 year after opening.
 Okay, so I said the EOS lenses were comfortable right?
Well, the GEO lenses are beyond comfortable and it's like I'm not even wearing lenses, no I take that back, they feel like they are like, healing my eyes, though I know that's not possible.... [ahha]
But, it's like angel contacts! [do you get the pun???, but I'm being serious..]
As for the Angel blue design, I'm so super shocked that I love how the design looks, it doesn't 'blend' really but they look really natural and make my eyes looks mysterious and deep. I was even asked if they were my real eye colour! And I didn't feel like they were remotely close to blending and looking realistic at first but I guess they are, well, at least not with flash...
As for enlargement, even though they're 14mm, they don't look like it! I would say they are pretty good enlargement, not so much to be fake but enough to make a difference and look okay without makeup.

So, for comfort I will give them a 7 out of 5 which doesn't make sense but it's my blog and I can do that.
Look wise, they get a 5/5!!
 I think I'm going to become a GEO girl!

AND since Angel Contacts has become a sponsor, they kindly let my readers have a 5% discount off their entire purchase with the code: carisseiris !!!!!

AND on top of that I'm glad to announce that they're having a Christmas promo! [with super good deals!]
Buy 2 pairs, get $10 off~
Buy 3 pairs, get $15 off~

So awesome, I say stock up or buy some lenses for your friends for Christmas so you can all be angelic looking dolls!
I still can't believe how comfy they are... So shocked...

Fall/Winter Fashion Inspirations~ Where I Shop

As per requested, now it's getting chillier~ 
Where I buy my winter clothing and what I would wear for cooler weather. 
[I will soon do a post on what's in my winter wardrobe, but I'm still waiting for some of my stuff to ship in. I actually have some of the items underneath~]

I'll also be listing places [online shops] in order of price range...
I'm also not linking specific products~ It's more fun to go through the online shop and explore because I didn't even put all of the other lovely things I came across! [Ah, all the clothing I put down is making me so happy! They're all so pretty<3]

~~this blog entry is NOT sponsored~~

Forever21 [link
 I feel like it's only this season I've been loving F21 apparel! The sweaters are soft,cute and fit surprisingly well! I went into a craze and bought a big handful of them in store because of it<3
 I also came across a lot of cute cardigans and pretty jackets for staying warm!

Trinity Styles [link]
 Trinity is selling a bunch of Korean fashion themed winter wear! They're all so cute and warm looking~
 Besides the sweaters, they have in stock Liz Lisa jacket, Rose Bullet clothing sets and ASOS tights. Besides that they have pleather skirts and shorts [so in trend right now] and these awesome fleece lined "sheer" looking stockings! How perfect for looking stylish and yet staying super warm!
I even ordered a Rose Bullet angora sweater set from them that's shipping in! I'm so excited!


American Apparel [link]
 I love AA<3 I think for me I'm loving their circle skirts, and the corduroy ones seem perfect for cooler weather! I also think that a maxi would be wonderful for really chilly days and you can wear layers of thermal leggings under them for maximum comfort while staying in style~

MinkyShop [link]
I'll just say this. Brand.
They have branded clothing, and lots of sweaters and cardi's in stock! Same with cute shorts and skirts too. I'm also awaiting clothing from them [it's on the way], as I'm restocking on cooler weather wear for myself!

I'm also a fan of hand warmers, this one from strapya [product link] is reusable! I'm pretty close to purchasing one for myself, but I'm waiting for the pink one to come back in stock..

I also want to direct you to

YESSTYLE [link]

They have tons and tons and tons of adorable and fashionable winter clothing/shoes/scarves/accessories and very large inventory... They are a bit on the pricier side, but if your picky and can't find something to your taste, they'd probably have something for you. I've ordered from them a few times and have always had a good experience<3

 Now for a spam of winter outfit inspirations [all lovingly taken from tumblr..]









I own no right at all to any of them...
@                     m                   @;;;


Ah, so much clothing I want! I love winter because wearing layers is so lovely!
I love a short skirt with a sweater, and boots! There's something so wonderfully feminine about it and it makes me feel so pretty going about.

I hope you enjoyed!

Ice Cream in LA

My friends and I lalalove ice cream. To the point we'll take long drives to try the newest and most interesting places. 
 The newest ice cream truck in LA would be the Big Gay Ice Cream truck [site here], visiting from New York~
The people working the truck were sooooo ulta sweet and it was a pleasure to leave a tip~
I was also glad tat we came 35 minutes before the truck arrived as a good amount of people already showed up. By the time the truck was set up the line was going down the block.. So lucky for us~
 [I really wanted to try the Ginger Curry]


 But, I ended up getting the Fig and Olive oil, and to my maybe horror, it was ice cream with fig and olive oil drizzled on top. So shocking!
But unlike how it looks/smells, it tasted surprisingly delicious after I got over the thought of gobbling up olive oil.
 My friend ended up getting the Salty Pimp, which seemed to be the one everyone else in line got, and it was so yummy too!!
 My other friend decided on the Mermaid, which was like a pie with ice cream, or should I say ice cream with a pie on the side~<3 Very tart and scrumptious!

Such a worth it trip out!

My friend's and my favorite ice cream place to frequent would be Cool Haus [site link]  I've also talked about them in previous blog entries but whatever~ Haha.
 Cool haus has the crazies flavours of ice cream and cookies to create interesting ice cream sandwiches  that maybe only your imagination could conjurer up!





 This time, I didn't feel like an ice cream sandwich and decided on Polar Berry by itself, which I've decided is my all time favourite, and is basically me as an icecream!
Perfection!
 Nomnomnom.
 MY friend got Dirty Mint, which is SOOOO yummy! It's like mint, but dirty... I don't mean like choclolate or alcohol but it tastes earthy and well, 'dirty' in like, the yummiest way...

My other friend after a hard decision went with the Salted Caramel, yumyum! It's like a salted Dulce de leche more like, it was very rich in flavour and a great ice cream!

AAH~ This place is still my all time favourite go to place, even though it's so out of the way for me<3
