Chatting with a computer whore on msn: Maryellen (and no. i'm not being mean)

Well, for the record, this MSN-Stranger-virus-shit has happened to me before, so I kinda know what i was getting myself into. I just was not sure where the conversation would end and how it would end, so i just played along this time and PRESTO, the 'computer slut' revealed herself to be a 'gold-digging-bitch' as well. (take note of the last image, highlighted line)

And yeah. It was kinda fun while it lasted.

You know me. I'm crazy that way.

Lets not argue. =D

Reeow!

Mr Grumpy says HI!

NEO COSMO GLAMOUR BROWN LENS REVIEW

Neo Cosmo Glamour Brown

*With natural light*

*With flash*

*With indoor lighting*

COMFORT : 8/10
These lenses are not as thin as my other Geo and EOS lenses, but having said that, i didn't really had that much problems with regards to comfort. HOWEVER (tsk tsk NEO), with Neo Glamour browns, my eyes tend to feel dry after maybe about 7 hours (and I seldom need eye drops with other lenses), which I suppose is ok, since i usually wear them around that time frame.. BUT STILL... =P

COLOUR/ DESIGN : 8/10

(Yet again, I have to mention, its pretty subjective with regards to what you're looking for) I have to say though, of all my circle lenses, I was REALLLLY looking forward to receive these lenses in the mail. Like a little boy who couldn't sleep on christmas eve, or a bulimic who's all disturbed knowing that there is a huge ass Cadbury chocolate bar sitting sinfully in a fridge nearby, similarly, I was all excited, cold sweat and all, despite having owned another 11 pairs of circle lenses (I need to check into rehab or join CLA:Circle Lenses Anonymous)

From the images that i derived online with regards to Neo Cosmo Glamour Browns, I thought these lenses would be a more greyish/cooler brown.

HELL NO. These bitches are orange-ish. It was a major letdown for me. Edward Cullen Fans, I'm glad to FINALLY announce: These lenses are for you.

HOWEVER, behind every cloud, there's a silver lining. Neo Cosmo Glamour Browns does have a really interesting pattern and limbal ring, which i say is interesting enough to keep me interested. heh.

Yesh guys. Really. As you know i'm fickle that way. And I'm Gemini.

 Lets not argue.

ENLARGEMENT : 6/10

As with Geo Tricolor Brown, these are mainly worn for colour-difference and not necessarily for its enlargement factor because there are definately more circle lenses in the market that achieves a much greater enlargement, added to that, Neo Glamour lenses has a softer (and GORGEOUS) limbal ring design, but for all its worth, they do somewhat enlarge a little, as proven in the photos.

OVERALL: 7/10

To be fair, maybe i was a bit too psyched up about receiving these lenses and as a result, when my expectations weren't met, I was REAAALLLY disappointed.

However, i ain't gonna be a bitch about it because I really love Neo Glamour Brown's limbal ring design even though (once again) I ain't crazy about the shade or brown(ok. lets officially call it the 'Edward-Cullen's-Mysterious-Eyes-Brown' or ECMEB)

If you are not anal about that fact, the lenses will brighten up your eyes most definately, giving it a burst of ECMEB's saturation.

ECMEB. (ok fine. he's hot.)

=D

ok. I've officially made peace with Neo Glamour browns.
Try harder next time Neo.
I'm not pleased this time round.
*Pouts and rolls arms*

In search for my happy ending: LIQUID NEUTROGENA.

It has been about a month now since I was dumped and I'm really glad to say that I didn't spend much time wallowing in my sorrow (and the situation). I went out on a couple of dates shortly after, to find a suitable, long-term-ish commitment, yet along the way, without a doubt, I strayed. I even revisited the idea of re-kindling an old relationship (Refer to Figure 1). However, one week into the experience, I was reminded (again) of why 'we' decided to call it quits in the first place.

Figure 1; Ex B.F. (Liquid Neutrogena)

It was all nice and sweet initially. We had decided to get back together again after a 7 year break. Honestly, I couldn't even remember why we ended the relationship back then. What i know now was that Liquid Neutrogena is a nice chap, here to keep me company from the moment i wake up right till the wee hours in the morning before bedtime. A simple fella, Liquid Neutrogena promised to (in his exact words)

"be mild and leave no pore clogging residue."

Apart from being hypo-allergenic, Liquid Neutrogena also told me that he is,

"a pure, clean-rinsing facial cleanser for clean soft skin."

Possibly out for sheer desperation, I thought maybe i'd settle for the simple life without the complications of micro-beads and salicylic acid that was present in my previous (cleanser)relationship. I smiled at the thought that this was potentially a happy-ever-after.

A day passed and I have never felt better. I felt smoother and I didn't feel dried up like i usually would.

After 3 days of delight, the fourth day brought back the nightmare of 'yester-years'. Recollections of my negative past experiences with Liquid Neutrogena came racing back. It started with one pimple, then two. Suddenly i was able to connect the dots on my face to form a pentagram.

I panicked.

In denial, i continued the physical abuse that Liquid Neutrogena was causing. I'd see the scars of our 'disagrements' yet i couldnt bring myself to face the fact that was staring in my face (literally); it was not working out.

With a heavy heart, I ended our relationship. For a moment, i was extremely proud of myself for doing so, yet the uncertainty of tomorrow was too much for me to bear at that point of time. I walked away from Liquid Neutrogena, distraught, but this time however, unlike the last, i'd remember to stay away from Liquid Neutrogena, unless maybe he comes back to me loaded with micro beads and salicylic acid.

Update: (Refer to Figure 2) Liquid Neutrogena, is now being used as a showerfoam and is probably just three showers away from non-existance.

GEO NUDY BROWN LENS REVIEW

Geo Nudy Brown.

*Geo Nudy Brown with Natural Lighting*

*With Flash*

*Indoor lighting*

COMFORT : 9/10

Yesh yesh. My nudy browns are very comfortable, but i suppose, once again, its pretty subjective to each and every person. I've worn them for about 2 months and I've honestly never needed eyedrops before. I did curse and swear one day when one of my eyes stung like crazy, but after removing the lens, i realised there was a scratch in the middle of the it. Well, i ain't no airhead to C&S (curse and swear) and ring the liberty bell, blaming Geo for such poor 'craftmanship' on one of my nudy lenses, especially since I've only used them for two months, but i'll admit, it was probably my fault.

What can i say guys? I suppose my gym routine has possibly made my fingers more toned and 'hard' with 'finger-muscle' and as a result, caused me to accidentaly scratch my precious nudy lens.

Yes Geo. There i said it. It wasn't your fault.

Really.Its not you. Its me.

(turns away, wiping a tear from my affected eye with my muscle-ly fingers)

 

COLOUR/ DESIGN : 9/10

LOVE LOVE the colour, Love-ish the design. Not at all orangeish/reddish brown (which i hate, i mean c'mon, im 25, i don't have a desire to look like Edward Cullen) Its like this very cool tone/ash brown, almost beige colour which i suppose goes well with my tanned skin.

Shame on those people who said that nudies made them look like reptiles! Have u tried moisturising ur scaly skin? (kiddin. seriously.)

At the risk of sounding like a 12 year old girl, the pattern is really pretty and sparkly. =D (clap. clap.)

And yeah, Its not very natural looking FOR SURE, but it doesn't look like you just pasted a sticker on your eyeball either. Its an in-between, which i don't really mind.

For circle-lens users that like the natural look, but is feeling slightly more adventurous, yet doesn't want others to think that she/he has just spent the afternoon babysitting five-year-olds, in a room full of stickers.

=D

ENLARGEMENT : 7.5/10

Yeah. I couldn't decide between a 7 and 8 (gimme a break, i'm a Gemini).

For a 14.00 in diameter pair of lenses, Nudies has a pretty noticible enlarging effect. Yesh.

Pictures above says a thousand words. Or maybe two; They ENLARGE.

OVERALL : 9/10

I know I've said this about three times since my first circle lens review, but these are my favourite pair of lenses (and i shall not quote the Gemini issue again) I think Nudy Brown has the right balance of colour/size and comfort.

GEO TRICOLOR BROWN LENS REVIEW

Geo TriColor Brown

*Geo TriColor Brown with Natural lighting*

*With flash*

*Indoor lighting*

COMFORT : 9/10

I'm wearing them as we speak and so far it has been 6 hours and I haven't had a need for eyedrops. So yeah, they're pretty comfortable. =D

COLOUR/ DESIGN : 8/10 (Depending on the purpose)

To be HONESTLY honest, I didn't really like these lenses when i first got them. All it took was for me to put one on and I was already sighing. I suppose when you put one on and compare them to your natural eye colour, you might get a bit overwhelmed by the difference. I didn't use them again for about 3 weeks (I usually use my nudy browns at work)

But i suppose after using both lenses, they arent't that bad. (yesh, 3 WEEKS later) and they look really pretty in photos. I look almost hawaiian (blush) and they go well with my tan.

Yeah, im fickle that way.

OVERALL : 8/10

Hmm.. they're starting to grow on me. Really. Definately good for those who would love to have a colour change, but if ur looking for subtle, girl, get something else.

Or you can wear them with sunglasses. Your call.

Otherwise, they are actually really pretty (yesh, i meant it in androgynous way). =D
