Adore Bi Tone

Not long ago I received 2 new pairs of lenses, one of which I will be reviewing today. I broke down and got the Adore Bi Tone lenses in Yellow and Aqua pictured in their color chart below:


This review specifically is for my Yellows. In general I always hope for the best results with semi opaque lenses in this particular shade. Unfortunatly brands like Solotica have let me down in that department. Fortunatly after getting these on a whim Adore has renewed my faith in this shade. So here go the pics!

















Overall they are extremly comfortable. I can wear them for 10-12 hours with no discomfort or redness and seldomly have to rewet them. They last for 3 months with consecutive use (or daily wear). Most of all they're super realistic. In person they look ridiculously natural. Even in photos they look more natural than most lenses. Personally I prefer blue lenses period for my daily wear. These lenses look so gorgeous and natural that I find myself reaching for these 2-3 times a week. They can be subtle in most settings and really vibrant in others. Due to their semi opaque pattern they react to light tonewise just as natural eyes do. They also seem to blend seamlessly.

They currently run $39.44 USD plus shipping at http://www.lensmarketplace.com/ I can't remember my overall total as I ordered a few pairs of lenses from them. They did take about 2.5/3 weeks to arrive. I was aware they would take a little longer as my lenses are prescription and one of the other pairs of lenses I ordered was out of stock.

If asked I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants a natural, realistic lens. I do also stress they keep in mind that like all semi opaque lenses do create a natural result. That being said the result and tone achieved is completly dependant on your natural eye color and your features. Reguardless I would still highly recommend these!

If you would like to see a review on the Grey's just let me know!

Super Pinky Brown

I have been wanting a decent Amber/Honey/Chesnut lens recently and stumbled upon Super Pinky Brown. I haven't really seen any pics of them (I'll be honest I wasn't really searching for them either) I went ahead and ordered them. I got them from http://www.honeycolor.com/ an d they arrived in about 10 days give or take. They were $23.30 USD plus shipping. Their specifications are as follows:

Base Curve: 8.6
Diameter:   14.88
Usage: Yearly Replacement
Parameters: Plano to -8.50
Brand: Super Pinky

I find them very comfortable. I was able to wear them for 12 hours and only had to rewet them once. They did slide around a little bit at first due to their base curve. After a few hours of my eyes adjusting to the lenses they centered just fine. They have good visual clarity and their parameter is spot on. I do think their blending could be slightly better. Despite the pupil hole size it works well overall. These are def. a natural lens despite their enlarging effect. I do get a bit of leakage but it's hardly noticable. Pics were taken indoors with delayed flash and artificial light.























Overall I am satisfied with the results. They look very nice IRL and they're super comfortable. If someone were looking for a decent Amber/Honey/Chesnut lens I would recommend these. They're comfortable, natural and cheap!

When Good Lenses Get Canned :(

First I will start by saying SORRY. I am SORRY I have not updated in so long. As usual I have been working like crazy. I Digress. This post is in reguards to when good lenses get canned...i.e. discontinued. I have been wearing lenses for years and I never really had a favorite. Just went to the eye doctors, ordered my FreshLook Colors Blue and called it a day. That is until I saw these... Natural Touch.They have a long history which is for another time. Once I got these they became my be all. Reguardless of what lenses I baught or tried they were my everyday, natural, believable lens. I've owned 4 different colors but these two have remained my "everyday" shades.

Natural Touch Baby Blue:









These are my everyday lens. I've been pretty much wearing this as my everyday lens for over 5 years now. It's a shame they've been discontinued.

Natural Touch Sophisticated Blue:











These are my other everyday lens. They aren't as vibrant as Baby Blue. Truth be told they're def. more natural overall. I do prefer the Baby Blue but I wear these when I still want that natural blue eyed look but don't want the attention of baby blue, electric eyes.

I would love to continue to rack up on these but I have spent a bit on as many pairs as my eye doctors office has had. If you can get ahold of these do grab a pair. Pictures can't do them justice.

Merry Christmas!

Just wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and wonderful holiday with their family and friends!

Busy Busy Busy

As promised I am working on resizing the pics so I can post the reviews I took them for. It's taking a little longer than I planned. Ontop of finishing my Christmas shopping (YAY) I baught a little gift for myself. Just grabbed my laptop and as soon as I get it all figured out updating this will be ALOT easier! I probably sound crazy, but as addicted as I am to my net access I HATE sittingat a desk. I love being comfortable and my laptop thusfar seems to be able to help me do that!Here's wishing everyone a safe and wonderful holiday season!

Semi Update and a few random facts

I have been a little absent due to lack of images to go with planned reviews. I have finally figured outthe basics of my new camera and have taken pictures. Once I upload and crop them I will have some pic heavy reviews! I have made a promise to myself to update at least once a week!

Onto randomness now...

I find it perplexing. I don't really have many followers at all. Several times a week I do get emails from people who have read my blog. They've either come across it from my YouTube channel or other forums. I don't mind answering their emails if I can in anyway. I do wonder though.....Why not just subscribe? To me it would make more sense to subscribe and ask the question on my blog....Different strokes for different folks I guess?? So I figured since some of the questions are very repetitive I would simply post them in this entry so as not to keep answering the same inquiries.

WHY DON'T YOU TALK IN YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEOS?
To keep it simple I don't get paid. Don't get me wrong. YouTube is a great community fo the most part. I simply post videos showing how lenses look. I don't do make up reviews, electronics reviews or anything of that sort. I can write my reviews here and that's good enough. Since it's not a job I see no need to do anymore than that. The videos are just something I put up in my spare time when the spirit moves me.

WHY DO YOU ONLY POST FACE SHOTS? ARE YOU EMBERASSED BECAUSE YOU ARE SHORT AND STOCKY?
This one makes me chuckle a bit. First because while I am bigger I am not that much overweight. Second because many who ask me this assume I'm short! In reality I don't post anything but face shots because that's all I can. I don't own a dsl/dsr or whatever those fancy cameras are called nor do I own a tri pod. I also don't have a full length mirror tall enough. With no shoes on I am 6'4 1/2" tall. Yep I'm not only not short I'm also above average height.

WHAT ETHNICIY ARE YOU?
I don't really see the relevance or reasoning behind this question. I can only assume it's out of mere quriosity. I often get some people assuming I am either Latin American, Hawaiian, or some mix of Filipino. I am none of the above. Not that I really see what it matters but I am African American and Irish. That's it. No more no less.

I LIKE YOUR EYELASHES WHAT MASCARA DO YOU USE?
I sorta get annoyed by this one. In a few posts I mention the fact that some subjects such as make up I don't talk on because I don't wear it. To answer nothing. The thickness, curve, and length of my lashes is natural.

I READ YOUR BLOG AND YOU SEEM TO ALWAYS UPDATE THAT YOU WILL UPDATE SOON BUT YOU'VE BEEN BUSY WORKING.HOW MUCH CAN SOMEONE AS YOUNG AS YOU WORK?
Well I will start of by saying what I said earlier, if you read my blog often and email me feel free to SUBSCRIBE/FOLLOW my blog! That being said I work anywhere from 40-50 hours a week. That's not counting going to and from work. And I worm so much because I have bills to pay. I'm not sure how "young" people perceive me to be. In reality I'm going on 27. Like most adult members of society who contribute I work a full time job. Up until this summer/fall I was actually also working a part time job for 3 years after working my full-time job.

WHERE DO YOU GET ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS FROM AND CAN I GE SOME THERE?
I get my contacts from various places. Most frequently from JCPenny Optical (FYI it is also referred to as US Vision in some states). I occasionally order them online and from overseas. When I see a new brand I sometimes get them at a Beauty Supply Store as well. I always list where I get my lenses from. If ever unsure check the description.

Hopefully this helps those who follow me but don't subscribe (And if that's you feel free to do so now!)and any of my followers who may have been wondering anything! Anymore questions feel free to ask me in the comments!

Sorry for the lack of updates

I sincerely apologize for my lack of updating. I have been working like crazy due to the holiday season. To top that off my camera has broken...It took me a while to find a new one I like and to decide on it. I have. As soon as I finish figuring out how to work it I will be updating my blog again!
