Sponsored Review - Candy Magic Barbie King Size Circle Lenses in Gray

Hello, everyone! It's been a long time since I last posted. I still have a few things left to post about my Japan trip earlier this year, but after the earthquake and tsunami hit, I lost any kind of motivation to blog whatsoever. I was just too worried about the situation in Japan and Take-chan's family that lives in Tokyo. Luckily, he was able to contact them through telephone not too long after learning about the incident, but I still felt an overall sadness for them and the rest of Japan. Instead of blogging, I decided to put all of my time and effort into studying. I just took a big exam earlier this week, so I finally have some time to update. Thank you so much for continuing to follow me until now! ♥

I was very lucky to be chosen by Shoppingholics to review a pair of their lenses of my choice! I decided to go with gray because all the other lenses I've ever worn up until now were brown. I know it's an older series, but it's undoubtedly a good one! I chose the very popular:

Candy Magic Barbie King Size Circle Lenses in Gray

Diameter: 14.5mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Life Span: 1 year disposal


Tons of Japanese models have been seen wearing this style, including Ageha's Sakurina and Popteen's Kumiko Funayama and Nana Suzuki! ♥ I also received this package earlier than expected. It was estimated to take 15-20 working days, but it arrived in about 10. They were also very polite in communicating to me, which is a big plus!


You could tell the effort they put into packaging their lenses. Very cute and neat! It was like a little present. ♥ It even came with a thank you note and a friendly reminder to soak my new lenses in solution for 8 hours before usage. How considerate! ^__^


Really nice shade of gray. I was so excited to try these on!


Camwhoring time! This is without flash during the daytime.

Without flash once again, but in a different room with different lighting. I look kinda washed out here...


Without flash.


And with flash! The color really pops out now. ♥

These lenses do not disappoint. It's no wonder why they became so popular! I'm considering getting them in the other colors, especially brown. ♥ I wore these for about 6 hours with minimal drying and no lense awareness. Also, 14.5mm was the perfect size for me! I would definitely recommend these! ^__^

I hope you enjoyed this review! And once again, please visit Shoppingholics and check out their great lenses. They now carry Tsubasa Masuwaka's Bambi Series! ♥ You can also find many other popular beauty products there.
