Hello beautiful people. This review is my personal opinion on Beuberry Charm 4 Tones BLUE on my light eyes. To read my review on these lenses in GREY click HERE ^-^


PURCHASED FROM: Uniqso

PRICE: $17.90

NATURAL EYE COLOR: Greenish grey with yellow center

STATS:
Base Curve 8.6mm
Color Tones 4 Tones
Diameter 16mm
Prescription 0.00 to -6.00
Replacement Period 12 months
Water Content 55%

COLOR & DESIGN: 5/5
These lenses are so lovely. One of the BEST blending designs I have ever tried. They seem less frosty then the grey ones giving it a more subtle natural look.

ENLARGEMENT: 3.5/5
For most people  the enlargement would be prefect, but for me I wish they were bigger. The enlargement is more subtle that I'm used to or prefer but that's why these lenses look so natural. For most people these would be really great because they are not too big allowing more oxygen to penetrate the eye.

COMFORT:  3/5
I can tell these dry out a bit after wearing them for a  few hours because they are higher in water content. Because of that high water content they also feel very comfortable and mesh with my eyes. As long as I have my Rotho cube eye drops  with me, I can wear these all day!

NATURALNESS:   5/5
My boyfriends couldn't even tell I had lenses in. These are very natural, subtle, and oh so soft! Almost like organic greenish blue cotton candy. (If such thing was possible)

OVERALL SCORE: 4/5
I really enjoy wearing these lenses. They would be even better if they were a bit bigger. Since I have big eyes already, I always want huge lenses but since most people's eyes are smaller than mine, this size is PERFECT . I also wish they didn't dry out as much, but that's because water content is high and that's what also makes these very comfortable to wear. Yes, can't win with everything, buy if you are looking for a natural everyday pair of color lenses for your light eyes these are definitely some of the best I have tried. Also, if your have dark eyes, these will show up beautifully because they are colored very light on the inside to give vibrancy instead of looking dull.

THEE LENSES ARE ALSO KNOW AS:
Vassen Rainbow Eyes Greenish Blue 
BĂ©uberry Charm 4T Blue
Vassen Lucky Clover Cocoro Blue Green
Royal Vision Creamy Peacock Blue
SUNnBON 4 Tones Blue

Barbie Nudy Blue Circle Lens Review On Light Eyes

Hi Lovelies! Since I am COMPLETELY IN LOVE with my Barbie Nudy Green Circle Lenses, I figured that I would try them in BLUE as well. Here is my review  and personal opinion on my findings :)

Green and blue Barbie Nudy Circle lens comparison.



PURCHASED FROM: Uniqso

PRICE: $16.90
NATURAL EYE COLOR: Green with yellow center

COLOR & DESIGN: 3.5/5
I love this design because the limbal ring is not black, its dark blue as natural blue eyes would have.The color is not that vibrant as I was expecting and hoping for but because of that they don't jump out and scream "fake". I also thought that these would not blend well with the center of my eye. To my surprise they are quite supple and soft in the center design allowing a nice blend with my natural eyes.

ENLARGEMENT: 5/5
My favorite enlargement ever. Just perfect :) Basically they are huge, but not alien like. If you have small eyes these may not be as comfortable for you. However since my eyes are fairly large, I'm obsessed with this size.

COMFORT: 5/5
Theses Nudy series are just awesome. Lately my eyes have been extra sensitive and get red fast, but when i wer these lenses they do not bother my eyes.

NATURALNESS: 3/5
These are subtle color lenses and they not have that neon factor to them like some blue lenses do. They give my eyes a navy blue hue. On brown or blue eyes, these would look very natural. I like these lenses a lot because they do not pop pot as fake yet they are very captivating.

OVERALL SCORE: 4/5
I wish these lenses were a bit lighter I feel they lack the soft "fost", but overall I really like them. Very dolly, they don't look super fake, and  they are comfy just like my green nudy ones.

I hope my review helps. Hugs and high fives :D

Home Made Corned Beef Brining Kit - DIY Gift Idea.

 
So when it comes down to presents or anything home made, it's sure to be more memorable than store bought. For the holidays this season I decided to make some home made gifts. One of them was a brining kit for corned beef. I wanted to make it super easy and cute. This kit is basically the brine to make corned beef meat. The card I included with it below has the recipe on what to do with the meat once its  brined and make roasted corned beef with cabbage. I used Alton Brown's recipe from foodnetwork for the brine kit itself, and altered his recipe for the corned beef and cabbage recipe (so it can be suited to this kit and no one gets confused). If you plan on making this kit, make sure you give yourself enough time to find SALTPETER. Its an ingredient (potassium nitrate) you can find mostly online or in very old pharmacies (ma and pa style). Its used to preserve the meat and give it the famous pink color. You most likely will have to have it shipped to you. I made 4 brining kits so don't get confused when you see the pix.

I designed a little card that can be folded and used as a tag. If you like this, just print it and add your name to where its says "From the kitchen of: ". Cut the paper in half and you will have 2 foldable cards. I printed mine on thick glossy paper so it feels more like a card.
 



For EACH brining kit you will need:
1 20oz to 24oz jar
1 printed foldable card from above - (the sheet makes 2 cards) - (or make your own)
2ft ribbon
2ft yarn string or lace
1 rustic cinnamon stick for bow decoration

Contents For Brine:
1 2gallon ziplock bag           
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons saltpeter            
1 cinnamon stick, broken
1 tsp toasted mustard seeds
1 tblp toasted coriander seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
8 whole cloves
8 whole allspice berries
12 whole juniper berries
3 bay leaves, crumbled
1/2 tsp ground ginger

To toast your mustard seeds, get your nonstick pan hot, measure how much you need per kit, toast a few seconds till you hear them pop, then take them out and cool in small bowl till ready to pack. Same thing with coriander seeds, once you toast your mustard seeds and take them out toast your coriander. These might take longer to hear that pop sound. DO NOT BURN. Once you have coriander toasted add them to your small bowl with mustard seeds.



Crush your bay leaves
  
Crush cinnamon sticks and gather your measuring cups and spoons to portion out the spices.

 
Print cards and gather your jarring materials and spices.
 
Start measuring out how much ingredients you need from the list above to compile your kit.

   
Place your measured ingredients into your 2 gallon zip-lock bags but be careful not to let the spices puncture through the bag. This bag will later on be used to brine the meat in.

 
 Carefully place your bag into the container, get the air out and zip it.

Tie the ribbon around the lid of your jar in a double knot. Cut a hole in your recipe card and string it onto your yarn or lace then tie it on top of your ribbon. Grab your cinnamon stick and tie it with the ribbon ends,
 Tada!


************************************************************************

Ready to use your kit and brine the meat????

1 large pot to heat and combine brine ingredients
2 quarts water
2 lbs ice (8 cup loose measure)
1 (5 lb) beef brisket, trimmed


Mix jar contents with 2 quarts water in a large pot & bring to a boil. 
Once mix boils, remove from heat & add 2 pounds ice(8 cups loosely measured).Stir, allow to melt & cool completely for 10 min. 
Place brisket in a 2 gallon ziplock bag then pour brine mix over top. Seal bag & place in a large container with lid. 
Keep refrigerated for 10 days. Every 2 days flip the bag over to get even brine distribution. Read card for recipe instructions to make corned beef and cabbage.
