Lens Village | Puffy 3 Tones Grey (Shinny Grey) & Pop C Light Brown Lens Review & Discount Code

Today I have not only one, but two circle lens reviews. Two very different styles from LensVillage.com who are home to a wide range of other lenses :) Thank you to Florence who provided these lens for review purposes.

DUEBA Puffy 3 Tones Grey (Shinny Grey)
First up, we have the Puffy 3 Tones Grey, also known as Shinny Grey.
  • Model is manufactured by Dueba, labelled under DollyEye watermark
  • The duration is 1 year, however I'd still recommend to only keep them for a few months for hygiene reasons
  • These are available in powers from 0.00 to -10.00 
  • B.C 8.6mm and Diameter 14.5mm
  • The origin of these lenses are South Korea
Close up details of the Puffy 3 Tone lens. It looks so pixelated haha. I do wish it was slightly less pixel looking but it helps to give a soft, more natural finish. 
The above picture shows both sides - normal side and the inside out side. I find the normal side still has a soft edge and I actually had to look twice to double check that I hadn't worn it the wrong way. 
I really love the overall look of the Puffy 3 Tone lens. I wore these to watch the Australian Open Tennis in this post and it was comfortable throughout the whole day. It's noticeable but not too in your face or alien like. I love circle lens for the enlargement and colour factor but I do have to admit, some can be too big it's scary for people who don't know what circle lens are.
Overall look 4 out of 5, Actual lens design 3.5 out of 5, Comfortability 5 out of 5
EOS Pop C Light Brown
Here we have the Pop C Light Brown lens.
  • Brand: EOS
  • The duration is also 1 year, but again, I'd recommend to only keep them for a few months for hygiene reasons
  • These are available in powers from 0.00 to -10.00 
  • B.C 8.6mm and Diameter 15.5mm
  • The origin of these lenses are South Korea
Close up details. To be honest when I first saw the design it wasn't one that impressed me. I've seen many of these on circle lens stores but it never attracted me. Though, when I put it on, I was pleasantly surprised that it looked quite natural and it really grew on me. When these are on my eyes, they remind me of the Bambi Almond Brown lens that are one of my ultimate favourites!
I think the design blends well into my dark eye colour. It's a design I wouldn't mind wearing to work or when I don't want my look to be considered 'too much' but still have the enlargement.
There is also a dark brown version of these. Click here to have a look!
♥ Overall look 5 out of 5, Actual lens design 4 out of 5, Comfortability 4 out of 5

Instagram Part VI & Facebook Page For Heartofpearl

Instagram captures some of my everyday happenings that aren't shared on the blog. As I am currently in the process of recovering from four wisdom teeth extractions, I thought it was a good time to share and catch up on my instagram posts.
I will be working on my 2 x circle lens reviews and an international followers giveaway! So stay tuned for that :)

  1. My current profile pic for twitter and instagram, taken not long after I dyed my hair! It's actually not that light but the sunlight made it look like this :D Planning to re-colour my hair again soon.
  2. Accessories of the day :) I'm definitely a necklace & ring girl.
  3. Patterned stockings ♥

  1. Self teaching Korean. I've learnt how to read but it's hard because I don't know the meaning so it's easy to forget. Must watch more Korean dramas XD
  2. A look for a night out - not the best lighting, sorry!
  3. Before heading out to meet friends. Had my Karen Walker necklace on that day.

Review | Tokyo Wink Lashes & 20% Off Discount Code

*** DISCOUNT CODE EXPIRED *** 29.12.12

After 2 sneak peeks on #instagram, I'm finally here with the full eyelash post!

TOKYO WINK
Tokyo Wink is a Hong Kong based online store that provides affordable, high quality eyelashes. Their online store is rapidly expanding and they now ship worldwide! To learn more about Tokyo Wink click here.

Tokyo Wink were kind enough to send me not only four of these lashes & a lash applicator, but also 20% off discount code for my readers! You must enter 'SHIZUKA' at the checkout to redeem your 20% special. (I will have a banner placed on the left side bar for your convenience.) 
  •  1 x Premium lower Lashes - VIVID
  •  2 x Premium Upper Lashes - BABY DOLL & CHINA DOLL
  •  1 x Standard Upper Lash - 017
Above is the eyelash applicater tweezer that I'd never had experience using, but it made things a million times easier! Much faster to remove from the packaging, without damaging the lashes, and easy application on the eyes! No more gluey fingers and time, saved!
Premium Lower Lashes in Vivid - If you're after big dolly eyes, this is definitely the go-to bottom lash! Personally, I think I'd only wear this if I have my circle lens on because it is rather dramatic! The original length was too long so I cut a small bit off. If you don't know how much to cut off, simply measure it on your eyes before you apply glue and then snip the excess!

You can always play around and cut them into smaller pieces to get another different look or even to get more use out of them!

Depending on your make up look, you can position them closer to your lash line or even lower, for that extra big dolly-eye effect. You can also achieve a different eye shape with the positioning of your bottom lashes, too!
Look 4/5, Comfortability 5/5, Price 4/5

Premium Upper Lashes in Baby Doll - These lashes are a perfect way to give length and glamour to your eyes. You can see the design is of a shorter to longer style that will help to elongate and make your eyes stand out! This style is a personal favourite of mine and I find it's the most natural look out of the false lash designs out there.
♥ Look 5/5, Comfortability 5/5, Price 5/5

Premium Upper Lashes in China Doll - China Doll is a very flirty, fluttery and girly design. I do love how each individual lash is thin and appears more natural but as mentioned in the Baby Doll description, I prefer a little shorter length towards the inner eye. Nonetheless, a gorgeous, natural style that would be perfect for a date or a catch up with someone special!
♥ Look 4.5/5, Comfortability 5/5, Price 5/5

Standard Upper Lashes in 017 - Now this standard pair came as a surprise! I love love how it looks when you look straight on, but from the side or the top it's very dramatic! It's somewhat too much for day time but perfect for a night out! This is only my opinion so if you love an obvious and out there kind of lash, this is the one for you!

I did notice a subtle difference in the feel of these lashes. The quality was as great as the other two in the premium line but these standard lashes were a little more tough. The band wasn't as flexible as the premium lashes but the design is still amazing!
♥ Look 4/5, Comfortability 4/5, Price 5/5


I really hope you enjoyed seeing 4 of the many different styles that Tokyo Wink have on offer!
