New Sponsor :: Empire of Delight

I'm tickled to have Empire of Delight as a new Twigs & Honey blog sponsor. All their products look good enough to eat! They use luxurious ingredients in their products including shea butter, silk, and jojoba oil, which will leave your skin feeling soft and pampered. If the looks don't make you want to gobble them up, the fragrances will from grapefruit, ginger, amber, champagne and strawberry. Scents not your cup of tea? That's okay! They also carry unscented versions of their products including an unscented lavish soap and a whipped body butter. Empire of Delight products would make wonderful gifts for bridal parties, newlyweds, loved ones... or treat yourself!

Their luxury soaps sound like they are to die for:
"We use traditional oils such as olive oil and coconut and add exotic butters such as mango and shea butter for a truly extravagant soap. Each bar contains real silk and is beyond doubt a delight for your skin. All our luxury bars come individually labelled and packaged in crystal clear boxes."

REVIEW: Freshlook Colorblends Contacts ♥




Hi hiii~


Recently, I purchased a brand new contacts lens. :)
I never use them before & it's quite an experience. lol.
I went to the mall with my BF the other day & saw a promotion in a new optical store.
They were having a promotion for a contacts lens which if I buy 2 box, I will get another box for free.
I thought, why not? I'm having troubles with eyesight too.
So Hney & I got our eyes tested & it turned out that I have a 0.75 minus while Hney's have a 1. something minus.
Which explains why we see blurred for the far sight. xD


There were a lot of choices of contacts brand, but we chose Freshlook Colorblends because it was the most natural color contacts.
I picked the Gray color, caz I thought I should try the less-obvious color before deciding to go all extreme with the contacts. 
The other 2 were for my BF because he has worser eyesight compare to me.
He picked the Brilliant Blue & the Sterling Gray which are the combination of gray & aqua-ish color.

So we did purchased them & it costs us RM120 for 2 box. 

So that means RM60/box for the power contacts or the contacts with prescriptions. (RM60 is around Rp.180.000,-) & I got another box for free^^

I think the non-power contacts would be around RM50 (Rp.150.000,-).



When we got home, we tried the contacts.
I was having a hard time putting them on & I search some YouTube videos that explains the technique.
After quite sometime, I finally got it. lol.
I hurts at first, my eyes were red, I cried naturally not because of the pain though.
My eyes need to take sometime to get used to it but so far I like them very much.
I like the color, the material, and everything else.
My eyesight is so much better too. I can see farsight now without even trying :)
The gray color also compliments my eyes.
These are some of the pictures~~



 
  
 


soo that's my review of the contacts. ask mee if you have questions^^
I will post the techniques that I use & some more review on the future posts. :)
byee..

Wags 'n Whiskers - brown, blue, and white!

We made it to Friday! YAY! :) And that means it's time for a new Wags 'n Whiskers challenge. This weeks challenge is from the fabulous Inge, and it's to use the colors brown, blue, and white on your project. I love this color combo, and chose to use the stamp Bear Hug. I used several different shades of brown, including that beautiful taupe silk ribbon. It comes across a little pinkish in the photo. She's colored with Copic markers, and I honestly have to say that I love this stamp so much!! This card is for someone that is really having a tough time right now, and I'm truly hoping it will make her feel a little better.


The flowers were cut with my Cricut and Gypsy from the Paisley cart with some chalk ink around the edges. I just cut circles out for the centers and topped them off with a bow made from twine from PTI. That fabulous teddy bear charm hanging from the bow is from Lacey over at Stamp and Create! Isn't it adorable??!! The hearts were cut with Nestabilities and then popped up for a little dimension. DP is Webster's pages and cardstock is Bazzill. Please do yourself a huge favor and visit Wags 'n Whiskers. The Divas have really created some amazing eye candy for you this week (they do every week!). These ladies are seriously talented!!! And then we'd love it if you'd play along with us! If you use your Wags 'n Whiskers stamp, you'll be entered for a chance to win a WnW stamp of your choice! Thanks so much for visiting me today, and hope to see you back again soon!! Big hugs!!
