Eyes Coffret 1 Day UV: Base Make Review

Hello people~!

Missed a blog post last week, gomen ne. It's the peak period at work and there were so-o many things going on past Saturdays I didn't have time to blog. On top of that, I have quite a  number of videos I haven't edited from CNY to the recent Bunkasai I attended last Saturday. These will take some time to complete but I have posted a short video last week taken from the time my friends and I explored a new restaurant.

As for today I'm gonna share with you this one contact lens brand I bought recently _ Eye Coffret in Base Make. I bought this together with and Eye Coffret in Rich Make for RM90 from Paris Miki. However, today's review is just for Base Make's lenses because I haven't got the chance to try the other yet (I just bought them last week!).

There were 3 different designs to choose from but I only got the brown color lenses because I'm no fan of black lens :/

Just out of curiosity, I didn't really notice before but do Japanese have black or brown eyes or both? I mean, like why are they calling the black-color one 'Natural Make'? Any Japanese reading my blog? LOL

Eye Coffret is something I've been considering of getting for awhile now but only decided to get because I wanted to wear for Bunkasai which I attended last weekend. Didn't want to wear my specs then.

I'm actually no fan of spectacles because they hurt my ears and leave marks on the bridge of my nose and so I can't wear it for long. I still wear it because I've been lazy to go contact lens shopping. Also, now that I'm working, I want a color contact lens that is natural-looking (if not no color ones), nothing too 'gyaru' nor super enlarging.

I found several from international online site selling some Korean brand that looks really pretty but unfortunately they don't ship to Malaysia. Also I'm still waiting for Lena Fuji's RichBaby Lenses to be distributed in Malaysia, else I better faster plan a trip to Japan and go conquer Donki's contact lens section wth.

Back to Eye Coffret! Each boxes consist of 10 pieces of lens and each for one day use only. I'm loving their simple packaging. Here are the close ups.

I wore the Base Make lens for the event but it didn't turn up as what I was expecting. I wanted a brown lens that turn up lighter on my irises but instead it looked just like my natural eyes. It's not completely a bad thinglah, my friends didn't even notice I was wearing colored contacts. They were just wondering what's different hahaha.

Though I would really like something with a lighter color. Or something like my mom's. She has really beautiful, bright eyes _ black tea sorta dark brown color. I guess I didn't get that particular gene from her. But I still have pretty dark brown irises LOL, people tell me they look unique.

This is how the lenses look like on me. My eyes are sparkling LOL

*kira**kira**kira*

(It's not very obvious because it's a far shot but I am making a mental reminder for myself to take a close up shot the next time I wear it. Will post it up here.)

With a diameter of 12.8mm these lenses have slight enlarging effect. Here's a pic I took that night without one lens. Can you tell which side of my eyes without the lens?

The one on the left is without the lens and vice versa.

It really is tough to tell the difference unless you look into my eyes closely (in real life) LOL.

Anyway, these lens are awesome! I got it inside my eyes without much problems and they feel really soft. My eyes didn't feel painful or dry even though I wore it over 13 hours! As the name suggested, this lens also function to help protect your eyes from harmful UV rays! Pretty awesome stuff here, I would say.

Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase and if there's any complain, it's just the color. Still, definitely recommendable if you're a fan of natural colored contact lens. Can't wait to try the Rich Make lens soon! And maybe after that buy more contact lens wth. My obsession with contact lens is back hahaha

2016 Resolutions and 2015 Resolutions Recap

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!

For everyone celebrating, I hope you had an amazing break and enjoyable CNY! If you're single like me and still receiving ang pows a.k.a. red packets, hope you get lotsa ang pows. You still got until 20th February to collect them LOL! On top of that, since it's Valentine's today, I wish you all a Happy V day!! Even if you're single, just go and have a blast!

Like last year, I'm taking my time this CNY to look back at all my blog resolutions and see if I have achieve what I hope to do! First, let's look back into last year's resolutions:


2015 Resolutions Recap


1) Persevere in blogging


Probably the most difficult thing to do LOL. But I managed! YAYYY!!


2) Doing something "more" for my blog


As you know, I have just given my blog a name change and give it a lil' bit of makeover (though I'm considering to change my blog theme again because the one now won't allow my full post to be shown...).

Apart from that, you've seen my OOTDs post (though unfrequent) and recently I'm back doing vlogs! You can check out my channel here.

So far I've posted 3 videos this year and my latest video taken and edited yesterday here ⇓


I still have several videos to edit which you will see on my channel in the next few weeks! Look forward to it!!


3) Get a new camera


Yes, I got a new camera last year, a Casio Exilim ZR-1200. I know I mentioned I wan't to make a review about it but truthfully, there are many settings which I'm still not familiar with!

It is an amazing camera, with a flip screen for selfie-taking, which I usually use when wefie-ing LOL. My friends love this particular feature a lot! I'm using the same camera for all my vlogs too, it's clearer compared to my last camera, so yes, I'm super duper happy with this one. Now I'm obsessed in getting more accessories for my camera (mini tripod, wifi sd card, underwater bag, etc) and eyeing a go pro camera but the latter have to wait because it's so pricey!


4) Travel overseas


No, I didn't travel last year (T___T ) I have Japan, Singapore and Bangkok in my wishlist but last year I was so occupied with many things I decided not to... But this year! I'm definitely taking time off. Perhaps not just travelling overseas, but locally as well. I haven't been to many places in Malaysia like Pulau Ketam or Pulau Pangkor. They're in my wishlist alright ( ⌒o⌒)


5) Improving my Japanese


I still suck in Japanese... While I did passed my JLPT N3, my grasps in the language is still no good. I don't have many chances to speak here *sigh* And Kanji, I'm working on it! To improve my Jap, I'm looking to take intensive classes and maybe find a penpal who'd help me and in return I can teach them English. *crossing my fingers*


6) Learn to speak Chinese dialects


I bought some Penang Hokkien Dialect books last year and yes, I do speak a bit more Chinese with my friends. But mostly we speak rojak language LOL. Rojak means a combination of English, Manglish, Mandarin, Hokkien and Malay whattheheck (>▽<)


 7) Giving more love to my mind and body


I pamper myself a lot LOL. Find out what I did in my reviews tab above (*⌒∇⌒*)

~♥~

Those are pretty much what my last year resolutions are. My 2016 resolutions are pretty similar so I won't be elaborating much.


2016 Resolutions


1) Persevere in Blogging AND Vlogging


2) Travel Locally & Overseas


3) Continue working on my languages


JLPT N2 next, yosh~!


4) Save more


5) Challenge myself more!


I got a simple challenge which I will be sharing in my next post! Make sure to follow my blog to find out what it is and hopefully, you can join me with the challenge!

Until my next post!
