GEO Contact Lens Volturi Vampire Review


I've been obsessing over contact lenses lately since they emphasize my makeup looks and they remind me of my cosplay days (before i stopped for college).  I'm very skeptic about online shops and was scared i might stumble one of those that sell counterfeit products that give you permanent damage (eep!). I also have a bit of an issue when i browse for contact lenses, since most of the pictures i see don't show the actual appearance of the product and how they look like when worn (i have a thing for authenticity :p). So i thought i'd do reviews of contact lenses too.


So here's the Volturi Vampire as advertised

JANE! probably the only character i liked in the movie



And here they are when worn.
You are feeling sleepy... you are gonna gimme chocolate cake... yisss
Now, they have multiple red lenses that i thought i'd like, but this one caught my eye (sorry bout that). As you can see, it's far from the advertised photo but i'm not bashing them for that (this is not a shaming post). I just thought it's inconvenient when the photos don't show the exact product. 



This is what they look like from afar.
Comfty shirt and unkempt messy hair anytime! 
 They don't look anime-ish (although they DO have a design that looks more cartoon-y) and i quite like the effect. They adjusted well and don't make me look like i have wandering eyes. The color payoff is quite good and you can actually tell that i have red eyes. I can say that this is close to what the volturi eyes looked like in the movie and i'm glad i purchased these.


For those who want to avail of these sweet babies, i got them from Rainbow Project

LA Splash Lip Couture and Lip Mousse Review


 I have been dying to get my hands on these since they came out, specifically the shade "Venom" (yes, i'm always in a look out for black lippies) but sadly, my source didn't have that shade so i got these instead!




I got the shades Poison Apple, Latte Confession and Vampire in their Lip Couture Line and Inflamed in their Lip Mousse line.


Here's Vampire, Inflamed, Poison Apple and Latte Confession at first application.

 And here's after they've completely dried. Took about a minute or two.

I put the reds beside each other so you can see the difference.

  • Poison Apple is more on the blue side of red. 
  • Inflamed is a bright true red. 
  • Vampire is a dark burgundy red. Kinda like coagulated blood.
  • Latte Confession is nude with rosy peach undertone. 


I tested the durability of these lippies against water, hand soap and facial wash (scrub variant).



And here are the photos...

As you can see, the product durability is very impressive. a little goes a long way with this. If you put too much product on, it will become cakey, uneven and feather early.


PROS:
  • Long Lasting.
  • Very Pigmented
  • Dries Easily
  • Waterproof
  • Grease Resistant (that means BURGER! yaaaay!)
  • Cruelty Free
CONS:
  • Can be hard to work with (you need to be fast when applying this)
