ColorLensWorld & Princess Mimi Almond Brown Reviews~!

❤ (づ.。◕‿‿◕。)づ ❤ Hi Hi!

*quick update* Hey guys! I'm on the 2nd to last week of finals with 1 final tomorrow and 2 finals on Monday! Then I will be FREE AT LAST! Good luck to everyone else and THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE GOOD LUCK WISHES! It helps ease me when it comes to the study process :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: This is not a sponsored review, I just want to share my unbias experience as a buyer.

Anyways, last week I heard about a site called ColorLensWorld from a fellow blogger Jel~ I've never heard of this site before and never seen any reviews about it so I was a bit hesitant when it came to the buying process because I would prefer buying from a site that I heard many good reviews about, (example the oh so popular shoppingholics) you know what I mean? Turns out this site is somewhat new and they are still developing so it's understandable that word on them is low!
When I liked their facebook, one of the owners Marco kindly contacted me and offered to give me a $2 discount! (This offer applies to everyone who visits their facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/ColorLensWorld?ref=ts
I know it might not sound that much, but if you think about it, most contact sites offer 10% discount and if you buy a $20 lens then that would be $2 off too! So it's like most other discounts
I gladly took advantage of the $2 discount and looked around the website. 

Variety/Price:
Not too much right now but I don't blame them because they are not a huge company like other sites, they are quite new I think? But it's still worth checking out because of their GOOD communication&shipping! I noticed their prices are pretty average when it comes to comparing many other color lens sites. I'm sure they will add much more variety as they develop more so I will continue to check out their site whenever I'm interested in getting lenses
They also carry some beauty products like BB creams, heated eyelash curler (cool!), beauty masks, etc.
What I REALLY liked was the contact lens cases!!


I don't know about you, but I'm a SUCKER for bows! TOO CUTE
Unfortunately this is only lens case they selling currently, so I'm excited to see if they sell more kinds in the future because I definitely want to stock up on these in a few weeks

Shipping:
They say that worldwide shipping is a flat rate of $4.50 (free for beauty products) but to the United States, it is SO FAST!(About a week) I really am shocked by this O__O! If you check out their shipping page they will give you example of shipping to the United States/Canada. I know that most shipping to United States would probably take average 2 weeks. But this site is NOT KIDDING when they said shipping to U.S. was about 7 days. If you take a look at their example, the recipients lived on the East Coast and that's where the lenses first arrive in the United States so I was expecting at least 3 more days for the lenses to go from Eastside of the country to the Westside (where I live).
I purchases the lenses on November 28
They arrived on December 7th.
I am so surprised!! My package went from ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN 1 DAY!


Communication:
This part is what impressed me a lot! When they send emails it usually says Marco&Lisa or just Marco. Anyways, they kept me updated very well and was very polite/friendly! The first time I made a purchase he emailed me this:

"Thank you for your order . Also we confirm that we received the payment .
We will arrange the shipment with 24 hours !!"

Sweet! Only 24 hours unlike other sites that make you wait for DAYS!
The next day I got an email notifying me my order has been shipped and got a tracking number! Then shortly after I was contacted by them again saying:

"We just sent you the products , include the pink lenses case , this afternoon(Hong Kong time).
I think you have got the tracking number from paypal , RB482 323 638 HK
We will give you another $2 credit for color lenses because you
meet our requirement of reward programme . We hope you like this ."


See how informative they are? I love it! Also on the same day my lenses arrived, I got another email from Marco saying that my lenses should have arrived and yes they did!
It feels like they care a lot about their customers and make sure the package comes safely :)
Unlike other bad reviews from other websites that I heard about how the packages are late and the customer service is terrible (I heard some sites sometimes reply super late or ignore your email..)
But I assure you I dont think this site would ignore you like others!

Okay.. I been talking too much but I'll shutup now and show you photos



I ordered Princess Mimi Almond Brown for $21.90
(was $23.90 before discount, $26.40 with shipping)
I even got it in my prescription! Woot woot
Note: I used the HK tattoo to block my address
I got a card that said "Thank you for your order"
Bubble wrapped in 2 layers! Very careful they are~
Free lip mask! This is for me entering their giveaway on Jel's blog
Tip: If you order, ask for a certain lens case color in comment section!
Their business card ^____^
Everything looked nice and came safe 

 See the stickers? THESE ARE AUTHENTIC!
Lens on left, no lens right.
Lens both eyes!
Diamond Lash Angel Eyes(upper)&Lovely Eyes(bottom)

Morning look:
5 hours later still pretty comfty

Comfort:
Enlargement:
Design:
Very nice if you want a natural look with enlargement.
Got a bit bothersome after 6 hours.


As for the free lip mask thing I got...
5 pieces for $5.15 with FREE SHIPPING! (I'll review my piece next week)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry I wrote so dang much! Just wanted to be informal/detailed about my experience because I'm sure most of you never heard review from this site yet either

Also if you order from them and find yourself to not have an enjoyable experience like I did, I am really sorry  Please don't blame me!  Many sites always have negative/positive experiences, so yeah... I think it kinda depends on your luck you know?

Happy December~ It's Finals Time!!

Yay it's December! Almost Christmas but oh no! I can't go shop for presents until my finals are done.... Super busy 2 weeks coming up! Next week I have 2 finals and the week after I have 2 more on Monday December 12!! Then a big essay due by the 15th, so that would only leave me like 10 days to Christmas shop eeek~!

I wish everyone who also has finals or big exams/projects coming up GOOD LUCK! <3

I am pretty bummed because I'm already behind on reading on the blogs I follow, and I'm going to end up 2~3 weeks behind LOL =( Reading everyone's blogs has become a very enjoyable addiction haha~

My other favorite part of hosting a giveaway besides making happy people is the fact that I get to meet many lovely bloggers and make new friends =) 

For everyone who has been commenting on my blog, I'll get back to you as soon as finals are over! ^____^

IT'S GOING TO BE HARD RESISTING THE INTERNET!

Anyways here are some random recent pictures~
