My first Voxbox! Canada May 2014 exclusive

Long time no talk!

Today I wanted to talk about Influenster. It's a program that you can sign up for (FREE) to try out upcoming new products. How it works is that whenever you may be qualified for a Voxbox, they send you a pre-survey- if you are deemed eligible (from the survey questions) , they send you a box free!

Sign up here: http://www.influenster.com/



Don't fret if you don't get a survey or qualify right away- just keep working on your badge scores. I've been a member for 2 years and this is my first box! (I live in Canada and they didn't open it up for residence there until last year).

Influenster is only available for US and Canadian residents at the moment.


Moving on...


Such cute packaging! These are imPress by Broadway Nails! The are press on and there is no glue required! They actually claim to last a week- which is pretty impressive because any press nails I have tried only last a few hours before they flick off! 

Packaging: 10/10
Design: 8/10 (I love the one on the left... it's Disney Villain inspired)


I will be wearing these out for dinner tonight and I will come back updating how long these lasted! Stay tuned. 


On another note, I actually work in the foods industry. These are perfect for anyone who also does because they are less of a hassle to remove than acrylics and nail polish before a long day of work.  
EDIT: stayed on for 3-4 days! not as long as advertised, but my days consist of taking out the garbage and scrubbing the house down to prepare for summer!

http://www.uniqso.com/ review

So this kind of leads me back to k-circlens.net... because they didn't ship out in time and because of their lack of response- I panicked and purchased from another site in hopes of getting at least one pair on time (which was a lost cause really).

Uniqso ships out rather quickly, it only took them 3 days to process and then ship out my order. Airmail was pretty reliable and came 2 weeks later, though I was hoping for earlier because I needed the pair of lenses urgently.

Everything went pretty smoothly with Uniqso- I even had a coupon code to make my lenses cheaper (I saved $2 I think... the code is here all year round, just search it up online).

Customer Service 9/10 (I follow their facebook and see them actively answering messages)
Packaging 7/10... my package came pretty sqaushed! haha but it's probably due to the mail. They package everything in a cute box.
Lenses 10/10 exactly as described.


I'd definitely recommend them to a friend!

http://k-circlelens.net/ experience

So. This is kind of uber LATE -_- Gomen nai.

The following about my experience with the site.

They have this great thing going on where certain pairs are $15 each because they're about to expire, which is perfect for me as I only wear my lenses once or twice! I bought 2 pairs from them, expecting one for free (the free pair is always about to expire- from 3-8 months I believe) and 2 animal cases + a free gift (promotion).

The transaction went great and everything was fine. I noticed NO tracking number was given after 3 days or so, so I emailed them. No reply. Then I posted on their facebook. No reply. A total of EIGHT days later, they finally decide to ship and inform me that the lenses I want are out of stock! I chose another pair... and again I was informed it was out of stock (this also shows they don't update the site regularly... so beware, as the lenses you want might be out of stock)! At this point, I'm very annoyed because their site promises to ship within 48 hours (I might be a bit off... but it certainly wasn't EIGHT days). The only redeeming thing about the company is that they offered to let me pick another pair of lenses valued more than the one I paid for. I was finally able to pick a pair that wasn't out of stock- I also voiced my concerns to them about the late shipping time and lack of response in an email... no email was every given back to me.

I got my package about 2 weeks later, which is fair because I paid for airmail. The packaging was very nice and I received all three pairs, with 3 animal lense cases and a free lense case w/ tweezer.

My verdict:

Customer Service:   -999999999/ 10 (so zero)... they don't reply to emails or facebook messages. They only reply if they email you first.
Packaging: 10/10
Product: 10/10
Shipping time: 7/10... three points are taken off for shipping 8 damn days later without notice.

Would I buy from them again? NO! The stress is just not worth it. Also, I'd like to add that by shipping out late, the lenses I bought were virtually useless because I needed them for an event.
Would I recommend them to a friend? NO!

Solution-lens.com review number 2

I just wanted to clarify that I am NOT getting anything for this review, nor did the company pay me to.

SOOO last time, I reviewed one of their CK-105 lenses, this time I'll be showing you the free gift they sent me (anyone can do it, buy one of their lenses, then make an honest review- and they send you a free pair of lenses of choice. the do this to get business/ word out. Obviously you can't do this for lenses they send you for free/ as gift!)


VOILLA!
cute packaging as always
inside contents


and the lenses! will try out later




Thanks again Solution-lens!

Solution-lens.com review and Ck-105 Geo Magic Black


So I was looking for a site where I could order lenses for friends and myself. The site HAD to accept paypal and also had to have free shipping. I looked for a very long time and couldn't find any sites like that… UNTIL I found solution-lens.com from searching on google! This site accepts both paypal and ships internationally for free! I bought 3 pairs of lenses for $39.80 USD, because they had a promo going on where if you buy 2 pairs at regular price ($19.90), you get a third pair free!



This was perfect for for me. They also carry brands like Dueba, Vassen and Geo! I wear Geo on a daily basis, so those are my absolute favorite. Their website is very user friendly and if you have any questions regarding their lenses, you can always send them a message (they usually reply within one day)





Here’s the photo of the parcel I received. 
They ship from Bangkok and ALL their packages come with a shipping number so you know where they are at all times. Shipping took about 10 days to my country because it's express.




And lenses in the vials.





Free contact lens case


...FREE GIFTS
(Thank you for the pen and earrings. They're very cute!)





I only ordered CK-105 for myself 

Here’s a photo of me before wearing the lenses… as you can see, my eyes are slightly slanted and dark brown- and not as big as I'd like them to be.




AND AFTER! :D slightly larger, therefore creates the illusion of bigger rounder eyes! The lenses were also VERY dark, so it transformed my eyes into a black color. 





My natural eye color is dark brown. Excuse the makeup-less eyes (I did not want to wear double eyelid stickers today...) :/ ... The color of the lenses were black and very enlarging even though the dia is only 14.0mm.

Rating:
Enlargement 4/5
Comfort 4/5
Color 5/5


Overall, I thought the lenses were great! They look very natural also, which is a plus. I can hardly feel them when I put them on, but because I had dry eyes, I need to put in eye drops from time to time.
I would definitely buy from solution-lens.com again! They had great service (I asked a lot of questions and they replied very promptly) and a very secure checkout. Their selection is also very big, which is very good because it means more options! I hope that they can carry eye drops one day because I’d buy them. I would definitely recommend this site to my friends.

One more thing…




THEY ALSO HAVE A PERNAMENT GIVEAWAY!
You should definitely enter is you want a chance to win a pair of contacts for free!
