[Apple Of Your Eyes] Kimchi Kiss Gold

I hope you are not bored of my never ending reviews on Kimchi lenses! If you are, good news awaits, I'm rounding off the last of my reviews with the Kiss series in the colour gold.




Name: Kimchi Kiss Gold
Price: US$ 25 for 1 pair
Base curve: 8.6 mm
Diameter: 16 mm
Water content: 55%
Prescription: 0.00 to -8.50
Life span: 1 year disposal

Kimchi Kiss is the only lenses that I have that look similar (albeit not as vibrant but that's a good thing in this case) both in the case and in my eyes. Due to this reason alone, I would try out the other colours in this series. My dark irides usually distort the colour of the lenses as mentioned in a lot of my reviews.

Even though the colour is described as gold, I find it more accurate to label it as yellow. The design of these lenses and particularly the colour that I chose made me think of tiger stripes! The coloured part match the highlights in my hair really well haha and make me look like I have exotic eyes.

You can purchase Kimchi Kiss Gold lenses at Apple Of Your Eyes, with the referral code Blair Tan to get 5% off.

Overall rating:
Design and colour ★★★☆☆☆☆
Enlargement ★★★★★★☆
Comfort ★★★★★★☆

Recent Gets: Skincare & Makeup

Hello everyone, sorry for the unannounced hiatus the past couple of weeks. Personal issues sometimes get in the way of blogging but I'm back now and have lots planned.

I'm starting off with an overview of my recent gets. I didn't realize I accumulated this much within a short period until I gathered them for a family portrait. Guess I got a little carried away fueling my beauty addiction. Haha.

As you well know, I am a huge fan of Sonia Rykiel Beauté. Walked away with two items in order to qualify for the GWP - I am such a sucker for promotions (> ω <)


Candy Doll Lipstick Ramune Pink and a limited edition Dolly Wink mascara and eyeliner set. They were too cute to pass up!


Purchased Flower Perfection Foundation when I saw Bourjois on sale. And if So Laque 28 Rose Lounge (blended with Essie Allure) is good for Kate Middleton on her big day, it sure is good enough for me.


Star products from Kiehl's. Ridiculously pricey but hopefully they'll prove their worth.


Basic Muji skincare. The Light Toning Water has been receiving raves from Japanese consumers.


Kracie Hadabisei products were incredibly inexpensive after a hefty 40% discount, so off they went into my cart.


Ole Henriksen Aloe Vera Deep Cleanser to replace my current cleanser (Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser is extremely drying. Not recommended at all!), was enabled by 牛爾老師 in an episode of 女人我最大 into getting Bliss Steep Clean Pore Purifying Mask and La Roche-Posay Effaclar K after reading Nic Nic's account.


No haul is complete without the obligatory sheet masks. Got rid of the boxes because they were taking up too much space.


Not sure when I will be able to finish seven tubes of hand creams but at least I won't run out anytime soon! Thanks to kind friends, dear Ms. MN, Ms. MT, Plue and Ms. MG for gifting me with some of the hand creams below *mwah*


A trio of hand and body products from Marks & Spencer's Royal Jelly range and Soap & Glory Flake Away courtesy of one of the sweetest person ever, Cathy (the incident after our movie was very memorable haha!).


A huge 100 ml bottle of my everyday perfume - Versace Woman. I never fail to return to it.


I'll show you guys what I bought on the clothes and accessories front in future posts... this entry will be too long otherwise (^ ω ^)

To all those celebrating the Lunar New Year, may the year of the dragon bring you luck!
