Review :: Bausch & Lomb BioTrue Solution

Hello Everyone!

I was contacted a few weeks ago from someone in PR to try out a product. the product is the Bausch & Lomb "Bio True" multi-purpose solution. I have been testing this out for about a little over a week and really have enjoyed using it.

it came with a little tote bag, which i love to use to bring with me to the gym or to my work with little things like my make-up bag, extra contact case, the solution and my eyeglass case (with my eyeglasses of course) just in case i wanted to remove my contacts.

I suffer from severe dry eyes as it is, and i normally use opti-free. so i was a bit hesitant to try something different. I had heard such great things about this particular solution from Pam (xxPinkxx) and so i gave it a go.

Bausch & Lomb was having a giveaway, but had ended on March 27th for a free tote bag - the giveaway was to celebrate their newest innovation (the bio true multipurpose solution)

So the best thing about this contact solution is that it is made and has a lubricant that is naturally found in your eyes. which is a plus for me because i have super dry eyes! and usually sometimes other contact lens solutions dry my eyes out (AOSept being one of them).

the formula matches the pH of healthy tears and keeps certain beneficial tear proteins active. I am very impressed with the qualities of BioTrue because after using this for 1.5 weeks i noticed my eyes are not as dry as usual and i didn't have to use rewetting drops as much as when i was using other contact solutions.

Packaging: 5/5

I really really really loved the packaging! i think because it was different than your typical white bottle of solution, it was clear and it gave it a little more pizazz to it lol. i had the sample size and i know they do sell the smaller ones, which i love because i can tote it around in my purse and for on the go!

Quality: 4/5

I enjoyed using this product quite a bit. i noticed the quality of the solution itself was more lubricating and more thicker. not sticky though. after the first few uses i noticed my eyes weren't as dry (but they normally are ALWAYS dry) and when i wore my contacts i didn't have to use rewetting drops as often. it didn't sting my eyes at all which was awesome! because theres nothing worse than sticking a contact in your eye and it stinging the bahjeezers out of it! 

Usage: 4/5

it was really easy to use, real easy to bring along with me. only gripe about it was the cap. sometimes it was hard to take off with one hand (i usually do that with my others) but i did like that it was not the twist off type. but just harder than usual to take off. otherwise - it's self explanatory on how to use it - it does come with instructions in the box incase you are new to using contact solution or wearing contacts.

Overall 4.5/5

Overall - i absolutely loved this product! i did notice a different that it really worked well with my eyes making me want to use contacts more! kept my eyes lubricated more than regular contact solutions, it was easy to use, didn't bother my eyes at all and it was just a pleasure having!

I only got the smaller sample sized bottle, but when this runs out i will definitely be switching from my current contact solution to BioTrue! 

and if you'd like to try this solution to, here's a link for a $1.00 off coupon! 

if you end up purchasing this - let me know your thoughts!

KoreaBigEyes.com Complete Review & Haul

So I'm very excited to announce to you all that the package that I was telling you about (well one of them) had arrived yesterday.. and i was SOO excited.

I don't know if you all remember my previous post "You Look like a Doll!".. was the first time i used/told anyone about the Circle Lenses..

So I had originally purchased the Big Brown DM23 & Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in Green from KoreaBigEyes.com .. They later asked me to do a video review for their company, and that they would send me a free pair. I chose the Hypersize Gray.. and loved the Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in Blue, I asked them to add it (I payed for that one).

So i'm going to be doing a review and haul on ALL of the lenses that I Own (all from KoreaBigEyes.com)..

But Firstly here are pictures of the package etc:



The package itself





The Contents of the package





The Free Contact Lens cases each purchase comes with






The Well Packaged Hypersize Gray Contact Lenses












The package that the Neo 4 Tone (Blue) Come in (it comes in a box, but i removed these from the box)



Then a real quick way to open your Circle Lens bottles (i know i was confused at first lol) so hope this helps, I recorded it really quickly - so please bare with me haha!



Here is the Review/Haul on the Lenses..





So here are some pictures:
Big Brown DM23



Color: 4/5
Enlargement: 5/5
Comfort: 3/5
Overall Rating: 3/5
Overall, these are great to enlarge the eye, without having a really bright color, it is very drying (for me) so the use of rewetting drops was a MUST for these lenses. But otherwise - it gives a great dolly-eyed look! and will probably use these on special occasions!

Hypersize Gray (My free pair i picked out)
(sorry i look like crap - this was the end of the day and all my make-up had worn off)

Both Eyes - NO flash (lol i look cross-eyed!)



No Flash - side view



With Flash


Color: 4/5
Enlargement: 5/5
Comfort: 5/5
Overall Rating: 5/5
Overall I love this pair, and these are one of my favorites thus far. It made my iris' large! and I loved the dolly effect. What i didn't like was, in flash or in bright areas, the color looks more blue than gray (to me at least), but that doesn't post a problem. It's one of the more natural colors, like barely wearing anything - and i like that for everyday use. This was pair was MUCH more comfortable than the above mentioned, so i'd probably wear this everyday!

Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in GREEN
(sorry i have barely any make-up on and it really does make a difference! ew!) but just to give you a general idea)

With Flash




Both No Flash


Color: 5/5
Enlargement: 4/5
Comfort: 5/5
Overall Rating: 4/5
Overall, These are super bright greenish colored, it looks like a very natural vivid green (if that makes any sense loL).. I know in my video i said it didn't make your iris size bigger, but in pictures and after wearing it and looking at the video, it does, but slightly.. I guess it's because it's a lighter color than the other two, so you can't see the difference as well. But these are very comfortable.. These are very brightly colored, so i'll wear them for special occasions.


Neo Cosmo 4 Tones in BLUE





Color: 5/5
Enlargement: 4/5
Comfort: 5/5
Overall Rating: 4/5
Overall this is my second favorite pair of circle lenses that I own.. Just like the Green ones, it's very bright and it's super exotic and something i'd wear to go out, or maybe everyday depending on what i wanna look like, but it's super comfortable, and really cute in person/pictures! i don't look like such a brown-eyed babe with these on! I Love them!

So overall my experience with http://www.koreabigeyes.com/ has been an absolute pleasure!
Lovely service...Extremely awesome prices...Protective packaging...Fast Shipping (TOOK 5 DAYS!!) (Depending on location but promises it will arrive within 2 weeks)

So if you like what you see, and now you know my secret! please tell them Khristine or RandomnesswithKhris sent you! :)

Thanks and I hope the video was helpful! :)

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY TGIF! yes yes yes! :)

(well technically i've got 30 minutes until it's "officially" Friday! but i'm just glad this week is finally over! It's been a stressful one indeed..

I am proud of myself for hashin' it out at the gym though.. I've officially remolded my gym schedule to fit Karen and I going together.. so.. it kinda looks like this:

Sunday - Gym 7AM
Monday - Gym 10:30PM
Tuesday - OFF DAY
Wednesday - Gym (YRG CLASS) 8:30PM
Thursday - OFF DAY
Friday - 5:30AM (for ME since Karen is going to her other dance class Friday evening)
Saturday - GYM 7AM

So i'm pretty happy about this.. :) I think it is important (and kind of nice) to have a buddy to workout with.. someone to motivate you at the same time inspire you because they try so hard, that it pushes you to try just as hard, if not harder! lol.. but of course it's a great way to get each other motivated to GO to the gym.. which was my biggest problem.. not the gym itself.. but just the getting to the gym lol..

But with this schedule, and me training Karen, i think i'll stick to this schedule.. YOU all have NO idea how excited I am.. i know in a couple of months of hard work at the gym.. we'll see some amazing results! (because unfortunately you will not see results overnight.. and even if you do - it's probably too drastic of a change and you'll gain it all back and some!)..

Remember - when you are at the gym or working out - it's NOT a competition (unless you are seriously training for it).. The person next to you does not care what you are doing.. and i'm sure you don't care what the person/stranger is doing either.. you are there for YOU - well that's how i put it!

i've been so busy with work and my girls and trying to fit in some studying - that i've had NO time to do any video's.. well I did try the other day but it was a complete fail.. LOL.. we'll see if i can edit it at all to be decent.. i'm not the best video editor.. heck i've only edited the video's on my Youtube page lol.. and that was hard enough!

but hopefully with MORE video's will come more video editing!... well hopefully this weekend i'll be able to post something new for yall.. i did get a request on my "everyday" make-up look.. and i thought that was easy enough - so i just might do that..

I am going to be doing a "January Fave Products of the Month".. instead of weekly - cause we all know I cannot keep up haha!

I wanted to let you all know within the next week or so (depending on when i get the products) I'm going to be reviewing some products from two separate companies that had asked me to do a video review - i'm SOOOOOOO freakin excited you have no idea! lol.. so yay! stay tuned for that as well!

ALSO - I had ordered some faux eyelashes like 18 days ago - and they have finally arrived! (doh! reminds me i gotta leave feedback for them on ebay lol).. and i'll have some pictures and show you what they all look like hopefully after work today or even this weekend... ;)

If you have any questions for me - feel free to ask - e-mail etc etc yadda yadda! anywho - it's bedtime for me cause i've got work in the AM!..
