HELPFUL FACTS FOR ALL OF US
(source: karmin.ca/)

• What is Titanium? Titanium is a lustrous metallic element found in igneous rocks and known for its strength, durability, light weight and high temperature stability.

• Why a Titanium Hair Straightener?Titanium offers many features and benefits in a hair styling tool. Titanium provides amazing durability under high heats and offers an even heat distribution. Scratch resistant and extremely durable, Titanium is a great benefit for a hair iron that will last you many years. When combined with ceramic, negative ions and tourmaline, Titanium works to enhance your hair's hydration and shine. Eliminate frizz, enhance shine, and improve the overall look of your hair. Your hair is left hydrated, soft and healthier. A top choice for professionals because of the amazing results on all hair types, lengths and styles.

• Isn't Ceramic Enough?NO! Traditional ceramic irons rely on heat alone which risks damage to the hair. Karmin relies on ionic and infrared juices, which provides a better, healthier method. More fabulous results - now without the risk of damage! Karmin high performance irons provide shinier, silkier, smoother and healthier hair than other ceramic irons. 

•  So Why are Negative Ions Important When Using a Hair Iron?Negative ions close the cuticle layer to create a smooth, silky hair surface and seal in the hair's natural moisture. This provides ultimate shine, color and moisture protection for hair. Negative ions also eliminate static electricity on the hair surface so hair is left silky and frizz-free! 

•  Why is Infrared Important When Using Flat Irons?Far infrared heat penetrates the hair to heat it gently from within. This creates a different type of heat that doesn't heat the hair. Instead, more heat is delivered directly to the hair shaft so hair is suppler and can be worked more quickly and easily. Because less heat is delivered to the surface, hair is not damaged.

MY TAKE: Negative Ions? Heard so much about Negative Ions and its benefits towards our body such as strengthening the functions of our autonomic nerves, reinforce collagen, improves the permeability of cell's prototype plasma membrane (in short, improves metabolism) and strengthens our immune system. I didn't know it can also be benefited towards our hair for a healthier crown of glory! How awesome :)

PACKAGING: It came in a white box with the pink hair straightener inside, 3 year manufacturer's warranty, instruction manual, product registration and holgram security seal.

PRICE: $129.95 + FREE SHIPPING! The price is great for the quality of the product. I had it for 2 weeks now and have been using it for straightening and curling my hair and it works great!

AVAILABLE AT: http://karmin.ca/karmin-envy.html Provided by: HAIR PRODUCTS PRO

QUALITY: Like I said, been using it for 2 weeks now and it works great, it doesn't pull my hair like the other straighteners out there that makes your hair get stuck to the side of the plate and it pulls! Also my hair doesn't smell like burnt when I use it. Hair looks so shiny and healthy afterwards.

Here is my hair before I ironed it. As you can see, my hair is straight but not pinned straight and looks frizzy.

Time to Iron it!!!

 One side done..

 Both sides done..

Now my hair looks a lot better!!!

OHYESS!! Hahah :)

Looking at these pictures makes me miss my long hair.. I recently got a haircut. :( We always regret it @ the end.)

Anyway, I can sport it both ways but it's not that long anymore. I miss my VERY LONG HAIR!! *CRIES*

Here using Karmin Professional Titanum Hair Straightener:

Pretty good in curling hair :)

I miss my old hair but time to move on....

Hope you all like this review!

Beauty Review: Fynale J01 Honoo Blue Circle Lens

Note: I suggest going to an optometrist first to make sure you're okay to use any kinds of contact lenses/circle lens whether if its prescription or for cosmetic use only. You should not wear lens to sleep or for more than 8 hours. Always wash your hands before putting them and when you're taking them out. Always use eye drops if you feel like your eyes feels dry. Again, don't use these kinds of lens if your eyes are too sensitive or if your doctor tells you not to.

Such a sweet note!

Now, let's go on to the Circle Lens Review :)

PRICE:

$23.90/pair but right now there's a promotion price for $21.90! Discount alert!!! It lasts one year, so worth it! Vibrant eyes for that price? Sure, why not? ;)

SIZE:

Does size matters? LOL Yes! Hahaha! 15mm is my favorite size of lens because they really make a difference and give you that doll eye look!

COMFORTABILITY:

This brand is new to me. Geo for me is the least comfortable among all the circle lens I have tried. I've worn these lens for straight 5 hours without re-wetting them or applying any moisturizing solution. It's comfortable that I even forgot I was wearing it. Make sure when you go out, to use sunglasses because for some reason, they make my eyes more sensitive to the sun. Also please do carry eye drops especially those who have astigmatism like me because we get less oxygen to our eyes than normal. But for now, I'm happy with these lens.

OVERALL:

It's Love!!!!

If you buy a pair, you get a free case plus its FREE SHIPPING.

The last circle lens I got from Eyecandylens.com was the Gossip Aqua Circle Lens (click the link for review) and I had a positive experience on that lens. They also sent me Rohto Lycee Eyedrops to try.

Unlike the Gossip Aqua Lens that I have from their site, Vivian 3 Tone Violet is huge!! 15.0mm. It has an enlargement effects on your eyes. So if you are looking for something that will make your eyes look like a doll's eyes, this one is for you.

Yes, I'm tan. Hahaha :)

Comfortable wise, I can only lasts wearing this one for 6 hours max. After that, I have to use eyedrops. The Rohto Lycee helps so much in hydrating my eyes.

It's a very pretty color!! I love the way it makes my eyes look sparkly.

Note: make sure to soak the circle lens in a solution for 8 hours or more.

Check out my other Circle Lens review located on the side bar. I've been enjoying wearing them, creating different looks. I noticed that my eyes aren't that comfortable with GEO lenses but that's just my experience.
