Contact Lens Review: Lenspop Bunny Color Brown

It's no secret, I don't like wearing glasses. I'm not one of those hot looking geeks or nerds that could pull off that "megane" look. Ever since I figured out how to wear contact lenses (probably five years ago) and I never turned back! Goodbye granny look!

If you're looking for a certain circle lens model that provides a subtle enhancement at the same time not being too flashy, read on as the Lenspop Bunny Color Brown might be the perfect pair for you!

This week I'm happy to receive this small parcel fresh from South Korea because I was kindly sponsored by the leading company of circle lens and cosmetic lens, Klenspop. The delivery was so fast that I wasn't expecting to get it anytime soon. I didn't even have my postal ID done yet! Lol. Thanks Klenspop!

L-R: Front and back packaging

I find it nice that they printed the contact lens manual on the back of the box. 

This would save you the trouble of looking for instructions on how to care for their contact lenses if you are totally new to this.

Inside the box: contact lens case, lens tweezers and vials of the circle lens.

LENSPOP Bunny Color Brown

Origin: South Korea

Diameter: 14 mm

Base Curve: 8.6 mm

Water Content: 38%

Lifespan: 1 year

Prescription / Power: Plano to -10.00

I'm glad they have this with my prescription since some online shops don't even sell graded lenses.

DESIGN

Here's what they look like when worn:

Natural Light

Indoor Light

With flash

Front and back design

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

Here's what I think about the Bunny Color Brown. The design of these aren't too harsh and would blend well on dark eyes. These are natural looking brown lenses with a design that is a little bit similar to GEO Grang Grang Brown except these are leaning more on an orangish brown shade. Both of which I find great on everyone with or without makeup due to the small diameter and the soft dark brown limbal ring.

COLOR

Rating: 3/5 stars

For the color, it gives an ample amount of color change even on the darkest irises. Not too vibrant but not too dull as well. Anyway, I brought along my other brown circle lenses for comparison. Notice that it's more of an orangey brown compared to the yellowish brown hue of my Crystal Peridot Brown and chocolatey brown Crystal Garnet Brown.

ENLARGEMENT

Rating: 2.5/5 stars

As for the enlarging effect of this lens, I can't say much. But it doesn't do a bad job either for a regular-sized lens since it does have a thin limbal ring and the print is extended to the edge of the lens. 

COMFORT

Rating: 5/5 stars

I remembered I once ordered a pair at Multiply *cough*AigooShoppe*cough* that was so irritable to the eye that I had no choice but to dispose of them. Thank God this is NOT one of those lens! For three consecutive days, I have worn this for long long hours at school. I'm happy that there is no discomfort so far. Like my previous lenses these are soft and I don't find them too thick. In fact I didn't even remember putting eyedrops on this week as it doesn't dry out my eyes at all.

OVERALL

Personally, I love these. I'd wear this for days that I don't want to looked too dolled up or made up. I could imagine myself wearing different makeup looks with this and still pull it off (unlike my green lenses). If you want something that looks natural and provide decent color change, I say go for it!

For more affordable Korean contact lens like this you better check out Klenspop's online shop at http://klenspop.com/en/ where they have more pretty designs, different brands and sweet deals / discounts! I even saw some toric lenses and another circle lens that looks like a sparkly diamond. Very very lovely.

Hair Diaries: Basic Hair Extensions Guide

Summer 2014 is hot as ever! Could you imagine not even going out of the shower and you're already sweating??
 It's crazy! I know a lot of ladies here already chopped off their long luscious locks this season.
Even I am really really tempted pick up that pair of scissors and take off a few chunks of my vavavoom curls as well.

What's stopping me? Other than short hair doesn't really suit my face shape it's also my "security blanket." I use my thick mane to cover up if I have too much cleavage going on or didn't shave (okay TMI).
However, I'm pretty sure that I'd chop them off soon at some point when I'd get tired of this hairstyle.

But for those who already did, have you ever regretted it or at least wished your hair was longer or thicker for that special occasion? It may be your own birthday celebration, a wedding of a friend or a corporate party that you want to dress to impress more than the usual. But much to your dismay, your hair has not grown long or thick enough to be heat-styled, colored, permed, straightened or trimmed the way you wanted to.

Ever want to experiment with different hairstyles? The solution is not waiting for several months to grow your hair! The easiest way to have longer, fuller hair is to get human hair extensions. Trust me, I'm no stranger to hair extensions as I have tried a lot of them in the past. Sometimes even clip-on bangs when I get too wild with the scissors.

Sharing with you is a complete guide that I got from Flaired Hair Extensions on how to finally have that longer, fuller hair. For those of you considering getting hair extensions, here are some helpful tips that could help you decide which to get!

1. Choose your hair

There are three types of hair used for hair extensions: synthetic hair, animal hair, and human hair.

Synthetic hair is made of colored plastic strands which make for good wigs. Only certain types of synthetic hair can only withstand a certain heat before it burns out. Personally I have tried this and this one tends to matt easily if not properly maintained.

Animal hair is much coarser and thicker than human hair so it is not advisable to use for finer or thinner hair (also, it’s quite icky!) 

The best hair type is of course human hair especially if you want a natural look or a seamless blend between your hair and the extensions. Human hair allows you to treat the extensions like you own – you can heat style, color, perm, straighten or trim it to your taste.

2. Choose your hair extensions attachment

You can braid, glue, sew, press and clip hair extensions to your hair or scalp in order for it to stay. One of the common ways to attach hair extensions is via snipping in micro-rings with hair strands, however, it can be uncomfortable as you have to adjust the way you wash and brush your hair. 

One of the easiest and fastest attachment method is via one piece clip-on hair extensions. It allows you to quickly wear or remove hair extensions in a snap and by yourself, without need of extra tools. What differentiates “one piece” from multi-piece clip-ons is that you don’t need to put too many clips on your scalp – just one piece gives you a full head look.

3. Choose your hair extensions thickness

Once you have chosen to buy hair extensions, you may be faced with two choices – double drawn or single drawn hair extensions? Single drawn hair extensions typically have a V-shaped quality because most of the hair strands do not reach their prescribed length. For example, if you order 20 inches of hair extensions, only about 10% of those strands actually reach 20 inches and the rest are much shorter. On the other hand, double drawn hair undergoes a second process of selection where shorter hairs are removed by hand so that it has a solid length from root to tip.

That’s the basic information you need before getting your own hair extensions! Once you know these about hair types, attachment types and the difference between single and double drawn hair, you will be more apt to inquire with your provider on what products best fit your fashion and lifestyle.

Hair extensions are how celebrities and models can afford to have their natural short ‘do one day and glamorous longer locks the next. It’s no longer a secret that hair extensions make for a great beauty enhancer. Be sure to keep this guide on hand the moment you decide to avail of your own hair extensions!

Press Release: The First Ever Philippines Zomato Restaurant Summit 2015

Bringing Restaurants to the Digital Age

The Internet has revolutionized our way of life by making access to information easier.
Now, every bit of information is literally just a click away. With the internet being an integral part of our everyday life, consumers increasingly go online to research for options before making decisions, like deciding where to eat.

With this fact in mind, food businesses are now taking advantage of what the web can do for them. Today, the food industry is investing time and effort in creating and sustaining their digital visibility to promote their services and goods online. And because these avenues have wider reach, promotion has never been easier, faster, and more effective.

According to Zomato, an online and mobile restaurant search and discovery service, having websites and social media accounts allows restaurants to create more buzz in the online space. 

“If you are visible online, especially on Zomato, the searcher will eventually find you, out of a great number of restaurants within an area,” says Anton Ojeda, Zomato Philippines country manager. “By the time you’re shortlisted, it will just depend on the food preference of the searcher to choose you.”

Being visible in the digital space is like hitting two birds with one stone for the food industry. Ojeda adds that having digital presence does not only promote a brand, it also opens the communication line between restaurants and their patrons. “Being present in the digital space is not just about letting people know about your brand. It is about reaching out to them,” Ojeda said. 

Through comments and feedbacks, restaurants are informed of how consumers find their services and food. Today, because of social media, consumers can freely say what they think about a particular restaurant, both positive and negative. Zomato found out that reviews by food bloggers as well as everyday diners play an important part when picking out a place to eat. “Filipinos have the habit of researching about a restaurant before actually eating there, and they rely on reviews they find in the Internet,” states Ojeda. 

On the other hand, consumers can also give negative feedback through social media, which, as Ojeda says, restaurants take seriously. “In Zomato, restaurant owners can reply to bad reviews,” shares Ojeda. “You’d be surprised how seriously they take these reviews and how quickly they would take actions to address them. And even those with a lot of good reviews would reassess their operations after just one negative feedback from a user.”

Generally, having digital visibility plays an important part in the success of the food industry. It can either make or break the business. One just really needs to be wise enough to take advantage of its benefits, and use any negativity as a catalyst to make the venture grow. 

Building a restaurant’s online presence and promoting brands in the digital age will be one of the topics in the first local Zomato Restaurant Summit to be held on May 19. The event, which has the theme Conquering the Digital Age, will bring together restaurateurs and foodies to talk about how restaurants can level up their games in the digital stage. Other topics include the evolution of Philippine restaurants and food tourism. For more information about the Summit, visit https://www.facebook.com/ZomatoSummit.
