Price: 120ml ($6), 300ml ($13)

Directions of use:






















Remember to rinse again on both sides of the contact lens before wearing your lenses:
















Some of the contact lens-related eye infections is due to poor hygiene or/and improper cleansing, handling and storing of contact lenses, that is why it is very important to adhere to the cleansing regimen with three simple steps, no matter what brand of multi-purpose disinfecting solution you are using.

The rub and rinse regimen with multi-purpose disinfecting solution effectively kills 90% of bacteria and fungi while disinfecting the lenses by soaking them helps to removes any residual microorganism
  1. Rubbing – Using a suitable multi-purpose disinfecting solution (MPDS) , place contact lens on the palm and rub both sides of the lens from the centre to the edges gently with your index finger.
  2. Disinfecting/Soaking – Soak your lenses in fresh disinfecting solution for at least 6 hours. Lens case should be cleaned after use and replaced every 1 – 3 months.
  3. Rinsing – Rinse the lens with fresh disinfecting solution before wearing to refresh the lens surface and remove any traces of debris.
















Conclusion:

Prior to trying out RevitaLens Ocutec Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution, I have been using Bausch & Lomb daily lens cleaner for sensitive eyes follow by Solo Care Aqua All-In-One Solution. I just feel double cleansing will make lens cleaner and also bring longer comfort when I am wearing my lenses. Ok, to test out the effectiveness of RevitaLens Ocutec Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution which claims to deliver high-quality disinfection and comfort for the user, I just use it alone following the steps indicated on the packaging (as shown in the pictures above).  I can literally see the debris being removed when I rub gently on both sides of the lenses, now I do not have to go through the hassle to use two products to clean my lenses when one single product does the job perfectly ~  I do feel that it provides more comfort all day long, even when I wear my lenses for more than 8 hours almost every day. Superior disinfection, comfort and convenience all in a bottle with RevitaLens Ocutec Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution
RevitaLens OcuTec™ Multi-purpose Disinfecting Solution is available at leading optical and pharmacy outlets.






Try RevitaLens OcuTec Multi-purpose Disinfecting Solution today and experience the comfort of wearing perfectly cleansed contact lenses every morning till the night.. I can assure that you will love it as much as I do!

Clarins Autumn/Winter Makeup Collection (2011) - Colour Definition

Clarins Autumn/Winter Makeup Collection (2011) reveals a collection focused on eyes -  Colour Definition. Luminous, defined, intense, subtle eyes.  A flawless complexion and subtle, naturally enhanced lips all highlighting her fascinating eyes.



Colour Definition Autumn Makeup 2011 Collection features 3D Radiance Face Powder (Limited Edition), Ombre Minerale 4 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette (New), Instant Liner (New), Joli Rouge Long-Wearing Moisturizing Lipstick (New Shades), Rouge Prodige True-Hold Colour & Shine Lipstick (New Shades).


Let us take a closer look at each of the product..


3D Radiance Face Powder (Limited Edition)
This Pixel Art highly graphic 3D Radiance Face Powder is about precision with its colour pixel motifs. In a brush stroke, the beige and peach colour duo evens and illuminates. Pink and mauve bring a touch of freshness and radiance. The powder is really soft and lightweight, and add a glow to my dull complexion. I love the ultra smooth texture! I use it as a finishing touch after my foundation by applying the powder using a big powder brush on my skin. It can also double up as a soft pink blusher if I were to sweep my brush across the pink little squares, and apply the powder on the apple of my cheeks. The shade blend seamlessly into my skin, yet gives a touch of radiance.


It is presented in the classic Clarins light gold flat case, with Clarins signature. A red velvet purse is also included.

Price: $65
Ombre Minerale 4 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette (New)

A palette of four eye colours to play for a variety of looks and there are 6 colour harmonies with modern shades that are easy to match and blend. Highly concentrated in mineral pigments, these eye shadows really light up the eyes. Can be applied dry or damp for a natural or sophisticated look.


They look so pretty ....

There are many ways you can use these lovely palettes, here is one of the ways...
This simple guide is also printed on the back of the packaging..
Each harmony comprises two satin shades, a darker eye shadow liner and an iridescent highlighter to mix and match to suit you.


  • One shade: apply a light shade or the highlighter over the eyelid to open the eyes with a transparent finish.

  • Two shades: play on contrast by combining light and dark shades.

  • Three shades: apply one of the satin shades, the shadow liner on the eye contour and finish with a touch of highlighter!


The swatches of 01 Pastels and 04 Indigo..
The shades in '01 Pastels' palette are really all pastels, except for the brown which is the darkest out of the 4, good to use as a liner or to apply at the outer V of our eyes. It is a palette that I will reach for if I want a soft and subtle look that add radiance to my eyes. 

Now look at '04 Indigo' palette, a very big contrast in term of colors as compared to  '01 Pastels'.  Personally I fell in love at first sight when I saw the picture of '04 Indigo' and the shades look even gorgeous in pans..In fact this is my very first blue palette, and I am really loving it! The texture is soft and gives a silky finish. The colours appear intensified when the eye shadow is applied with a damp applicator.
Each Ombre Minerale 4 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette is presented in the classic Clarins light gold flat case together with a red velvet purse.

Instant Liner (New)

With its liquid texture and foam applicator, Instant Liner draws a high-precision, regular, intense black line in one stroke. Its light gold and black bottle has refined, elegant, feminine lines.


Its foam applicator is sturdy and able me to draw my eye liner easily.  


A liner that dries quickly. However, the lines that can be drawn using this liner are not those ultra thin lines. Not as fine as the lines drawn using a mechanical pencil though. But I love how intense the black liner appear on my skin.. Super Black! ('',)

Review: Freshkon Colors Fusion Sparklers Style - Brilliant Brown





























I have tried Freshkon Alluring Eyes and Mosaic series, and now its my first time trying Freshkon Colors Fusion cosmetic lenses...There are many nice and unique colors in the Sparklers and Dazzlers styles, and I chose a brown shade (Brilliant Brown) from the Sparklers series.. Brown colored contact lenses on brown colored eyes, how will it look like?

Trying them on...






















Before wearing contact lens..




















After putting it on...



























More pictures...
















A comparison of Freshkon Mosaic Charming Brown and Freshkon Colors Fusion Sparklers Brilliant Brown










Freshkon Colors Fusion Sparklers in Brilliant Brown has an organish-brown unique pattern, with a well defined dark brown ring effect framed in a thin black border. These lenses are pretty soft and thin but easy to wear and remove. Most of all, my eyes feel very comfortable when I am wearing them, even after more than 8 hours. I am glad that I did not experience any dryness or itchiness during wear.

I find that they look pretty natural on my brown eyes under natural lighting, not really a drastic transformation..maybe because I have brown eyes but they does add some radiance (thanks to the well-defined dark brown ring effect!) and gives a bit of enlarging effect to my eyes.

So what is the difference between the Sparklers and Dazzling range?
I have not tried the Dazzling range though. From the images, it appear to me that the sparklers colors seem to have a dark-toned border on the lens' design giving it 3-shades effect, whereas the dazzling colors seem to give a 2-toned effect.(but I may be wrong, since its just my guess based on the pictures.)

Update: Yes, I made a wrong guess.. Dazzlers range is also 3-toned! How cool is that!

However, the variety of vibrant colours allows one to showcase different moods and can be fashionably worn to create a fun and unique style to match any occasion.

There's a perfect color to match one’s lifestyle, mood and outfit! Match your Life with FreshKon® Colors Fusion Cosmetics Lenses!


Great Sweet Surprises ... Don't miss out on these Attractive DEALS on Freshkon Alluring Eyes, Mosaic and Colors Fusion from now until 31 July 2011.

Thanks Freshkon Singapore for giving me this opportunity to try out these lovely cosmetic lenses from Colors Fusion Sparklers range.
