Idk my family is like against Apple or something but personally, I prefer the iPhone over the Galaxy. Here, I’m comparing the Samsung Galaxy S/S2 and the iPhone 4/4S. My criteria are based on the following:

• Appearance
• Functionality
• Speed
• Applications
• Battery life
• Reception

Appearance

For me, the Galaxy S (NOT the S2) has the edge here. It has a really sleek design and the slight curvature makes the phone fit really nicely into the hand. The S2 is too square and even though it’s only slightly bigger screen-wise, if you hold it, you’ll notice a fair difference in size. The iPhone 4/4S is alright but personally, I’m not a huge fan of the squared/sharp edges, if you get what I mean.

Functionality

Apple leads here. iOS is designed for even the most technology-illiterate person to be able to use a phone. It works. It’s simple and it’s very easy to use. The Android system is a little harder to use. It’s really easy to get used to but I do prefer the apple system, now that iOS5 includes the slide-down notifications which is p-p-p-perfect.

Speed

I don’t think there’s much of a comparison. The Galaxy S freezes every freaking 2 seconds and overheats when it starts to freeze. Charming. Although the S2 is much, much faster, I don’t think it compares to the speed of the 4, and doesn’t come near that of the 4S.

Applications

THE APPLICATIONS ON ANDROID ARE KIND OF DODGY. Like, I’m supposed to get Faceyb notifications on my notification bar with Android, but for some reason they’ve just stopped. Idk. The Tumblr app is kind of behind as well… and idk the flash memory just seems to speed the Apple apps a lot more than the Android system.

Battery life

Hands down, Apple wins. I’ll spend maybe 2 hours on my phone unlocking it maybe once every 10 minutes and the battery will be about 50% gone (I KID YOU NOT). Zzzzzz the battery life is so bad D:

Reception

I’m not sure about what the S2 is like regarding reception, but the reception of the Galaxy S isn’t great. It drops out a lot and I have to restart my phone pretty often as well… which kind of sucks.

Overall, they’re all good phones and in the end, they all do what a phone is supposed to do! Just a little bit more into the nitty gritty of it. I actually really like my Galaxy S, but I’m going to wait until the S3 comes out before I decide whether I’ll stick to Samsung or join the dark side and move over to Apple, and unite the rest of my Apple products LOL

Bought from: eBay (just search for opi shatter polish :D)
Price: it was pretty variable but if you search around you’ll find good deals. I bought mine in a pack of 2 for $15 :-) it’s around $8-10 each

This is the most awesome nail polish I’ve ever used. It’s really fascinating just to watch it crack once you’ve applied it. Again, shipping was extremely fast, considering I ordered it around the same time as the argan oil, 3-4 days before it arrived.

The only (sort of) bad thing, which was my fault completely LOL, was that it didn’t come with instructions so I had no idea how to use it.  Okay my bad there’s a tag around each bottle that says what to do HAHAHAHAHHAA whoops. Perfect!

The mistake I made was that I applied it straight onto my nail without using it as a top coat, which is what it’s supposed to be. So yeah it didn’t work until I realised you couldn’t put it straight on. It’s so fun to use and so, so worth it. It’s beautiful and buying it online is the best thing you could ever do. It’s like 75% saving, literally.

Another thing, the description on eBay (for some shops.. well for the one I bought off anyway) says that the bottle is a bit damaged? But I received it and it was in absolutely immaculate condition, and it states that the top layer of the sticker on the bottom of the bottle is peeled, so expect that. Nothing big at all.

Overall rating: ★★★★★

Bought from: eBay (just search for Moroccan Oil on eBay and it’ll be on the first page)
Price: around $24-28 for this brand and like $40-50 for the other ones
Amount per use: 1-2 drops
Duration of bottle use: for 100mL, apparently months (so I’ve read)

I only received my bottle today, but it shipped REALLY fast. I think I ordered it about 3-4 days ago? Very, very impressed. I wanted to use it straight away but I had no idea how to use it so I googled. Apparently there’s several ways to use it, but I’m happy with the way I’m using it so far.

Add 1-2 drops of it after your shower, AFTER shampooing and conditioning, to damp hair and rub it through. It is AMAZING. It smells great and even though it’s oil, neither your hair nor your hands are oily afterwards. I’ve noticed a really big change straight away. It makes your hair so, SO soft, smooth and gets rid of your frizz! It’s not cheap but from what I’ve read on the internet, it lasts anywhere between 3-9 months. $20 every 3-9 months isn’t t-h-a-t hefty, so it’s definitely worth it.

Overall rating: ★★★★☆

It loses a star because it’s not cheap LOLOLOLOL

This is one of the first model of contacts I ever bought. I really, really love them because although they’re not the most natural looking, they’re subtle enough not to stick out like a sore thumb and don’t make you look like a bug. I really recommend them if you’re looking for lenses which blend into your eyes pretty well - the blue isn’t too vivid or bright and it ALMOST, almost has a tinge of grey. Not really, but it’s good. There’s not one of those really ridiculous separations where the colour suddenly stops to fit in your pupil.

There’s not really a sudden division between the coloured part of the lens and where your pupil goes because of that grey part in the middle. It really helps to blend everything in :-)

The standard bottles and lens case you get when you order!

Close up: Flash

It looks more grey-ish with flash lol no idea why

Close up: No Flash

(stupid hair D:<) As you can kind of see, they’re really not that obvious at all.

• Personal use: ★★★★★

I would wear these every day because I like them that much. When you wear certain contacts for a long time, you tend to develop a love for them. This is one pair which holds my love. Definitely one I place in my “to wear every day” pile. I’m not really sure what else to add here. They’re only 14.00mm so they don’t enlarge your eyes all that much, but I guess that’s a good thing. They’re a really subtle blue that doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb and I’m just in love with the Nudy series and have been from the moment I started wearing these lenses.

Another good thing is that the exterior surface of the lens has a much darker rim around the outside of the lens than the inside, so it’s really easy to tell which side goes in your eye. A lot harder when the lens is identical on both sides.

• Comfort: ★★★★★

With all GEO and EOS lenses, you can’t even tell you’re wearing lenses. So long as you take proper care of them (perhaps start by watching my videos on taking care of lenses? There are links on my side bar, I believe), there isn’t any trouble at all. Just make sure you don’t wear them for any longer than 8 hours per day. A lot of people think that by wearing coloured contacts, you affect your vision and you start to see that colour in your eye. Incorrect. If you look at the photo of the lens at the top of this post, you can see a clear division and that’s where your “vision” comes out of. No problems there.

• Visability: ★★★☆☆

The reason I prefer the regular Nudy series over the Super Nudy series is because if these were any larger, they’d look super, super huge in my eyes and perhaps too big. They’re not too noticeable as it is and the blue is a shade that isn’t too bright either, which is definitely a bonus. Definitely recommend these!

These are my favourite lenses of all time. They’re the most natural ones I own and I absolutely adore the Max Pure Series from EOS. People can hardly tell you’re wearing contacts unless they’re looking straight into your eyes. I love them and I always have. I keep a spare pair in my bathroom in case something happens to them. HIGHLY recommended for those who like a noticeable enlargement the size of your eyes but at the same time not being very noticeable that you’re actually wearing contacts.

You can see that they kind of look tiled and it’s largely what they look like; it is quite a lot better though. Not my first preference of lens.

Close up: Flash

A little more obvious with flash but hey, everything is more noticeable when you have a really bright light LOL

Close up: No Flash

• Personal use: ★★★★★

I’m in love with them so I do have a bias for them. They’re the ones I’ve probably worn most and I’m so glad I discovered them. They’re my favourite as I’ve probably said multiple times so there’s not much else I can say about that. They’re great everyday lenses so long as you don’t wear them for more than 8 hours :D

• Comfort: ★★★★★

EOS lenses retain their comfort levels; they’re so comfortable and it’s almost as if you’re wearing nothing at all. You don’t even notice the lenses in your eyes. The only thing you have to be careful about is with these lenses, it’s really hard to see which is the front and back of the lens when they’re in the case so sometimes I accidentally put it in back to front and it sticks to my inner lid instead of my eye ~_~ but that’s the same with a lot of contacts.

• Visability: ★★★☆☆

The reason I love them so much is because they make your eyes look huge without too much noticeability that you’re wearing contacts. Most people wouldn’t notice unless they wore lenses themselves or knew something about it.

LOVE THEM 453847593847598378495345/10

This was a new experience for me. Usually, I’d wear the more natural looking lenses (e.g. Max Pure Series). I have to say though, it grows on you. I guess I just get used to it. It’s a really obvious lens type and probably not quite my cup of tea. If you like people turning heads though, I would suggest it.

They’re fairly obvious.

But there’s something I like about them.

They do grow on you.

• Personal use: ★★☆☆☆

I like their look, but I’d wear them mostly if I were in a really vain mood and wanted my eyes to stand out. You have to admit that they’re pretty striking. They’re not really my style; I really do prefer the natural looking ones. Looking at them in the mirror, they honestly aren’t the most natural looking lenses, but some people like this style. Maybe it’s the colour; purple might suit me but I’m not really liking the obvious pupil hole in this one.

• Comfort: ★★★★★

• Visability: ★★★★★

I don’t think you could miss these lenses on people if you were a kilometre away. Maybe it is the purple, but actually, they’re growing on me. In terms of their enlarging effect, the 14.50 makes a huge difference to the size of your iris.

They really are growing on me. Before, I honestly disliked them and thought they looked quite peculiar but now I’m kind of used to it.

I’ve always liked the Max series. My previous favourite was the brown from this series and I decided that I couldn’t really go wrong trying other colours. Turns out I was right. Although the green is a bit brighter/more obvious than the brown, it still looks quite natural and on the whole, I really like them. The 14.50 is quite large so be prepared for a really obvious enlarging effect. They’re quite noticeable, but not enough to look funny.

My skin sucks UGH but ok anyway not so close up with no flash:

On the whole, I’m really, really pleased with all of the Max series and I recommend all of them.

• Personal use: ★★★★☆

I will definitely wear them out, but because they are coloured, they’re not going to be able to fit every outfit. They are quite versatile and different and I really do like them. They’re the first pair of green lenses I’ve opened and I think that they suit my complexion nicely.

• Comfort: ★★★★★

I’ve worn EOS lenses for a long time now, and they are really comfortable. These are no different. If you follow the directions as to the recommended times of use, there should be no problem at all. It feels like your eye has nothing in it at all.

• Visability: ★★★☆☆

These lenses are a really nice balance between being obvious but looking natural. From the camera’s angle, it might not seem like this is so, but looking at the mirror, it’s very different. I’ve received compliments on these so they can obviously be seen but I really like them.

I have a real bias towards the Max series so I would definitely recommend these lenses. :D
