GEO Mari Gold Brown : // lens review!

So I've been testing out new brown lenses since I tossed my old pair. They were getting uncomfy.

Not sure why I keep buying GEO when they're just not as comfy as EOS
 but these ones are pretty good!

While not as comfy as my EOS bubble blues, these are such a nice spin on the boring brown lenses.



They blend in very well with a dark limbal ring that helps them look more natural~
Not enlarging. Just 14.0 mm~
[don't look at my roots. I don't have the money to redye just yet SHHHHHHHH]


But then the gold flecks in the center really pop. Not a huge scary difference, but if people are close/observant enough it does get noticed.
I like them a lot!

Not sure if I'll repurchased because for me, EOS is better for everyday wear just because of comfort.

New haircut // + LUSH golden wonder bath bomb review// + I.fairy kirei grey/gray review



new haircut/blunt bangs!!

Whoaa sorry readers I've been busy.

ALA aka Anime Los Angeles is coming up and I'm super stressed getting ready for it and also work is busy too since it's Christmas soon and everyone wants to buy chocolates.


For ALA I'll be making Shego from Kim Possible, Zatanna from Young Justice season 2, and two more cosplays that are already done.


Since Mike is cosplaying with me I have to make Drakken and Nightwing too hahaha

Here's some progress pics though!



I bought a base suit from eBay as well as the base mask. But as you can see it's still a lot of work to do yet.


I've only been taking progress pics occasionally.
And all of Mike ahahahaha

Anyways onto the reviews:


LUSH advertises this as a really fun bath bomb WHICH IT WAS OMG

Mike bought this for me as a little gift to cheer me up when I was even more stressed out
and then I used it and bought another one because I loved it so much.

When you drop it in, it starts out as gold and transitions to blue AND THEN YELLOW STARS COME OUT. They dissolve over time which is handy.


And so the bath water turns blue, but there was golden swirls of very fine fine gold dust swirling. So everytime you move, the water glimmers.



It's gorgeous and a really great way to pamper yourself.

~~~~~~~


And finally onto my kirei greys!

I bought them from iszocirclelens and I love them!
They came faster than my other package from Lensvillage which I ordered first. So they're quite good!


Came in bubble wrap envelope and with these super cute lens cases! I can't wait to use them hahahaha. And even with a keychain. Not sure how practical it is but it helps me differentiate further from my other cases.



AUTHENTICATION STICKERS



And finally.

Some close up shots with flash/without flash.



















The limbal ring is decently thick and keeps it from looking too unnatural. 
The enlargement is really good but not freaky. I feel like I can get away with wearing these with minimal makeup too.

The blending from brown to grey is really really nice. It only looks blended from far away though. 
Any closer and you can see the pupil opening.

Super duper comfy and exactly what I needed color wise. 

Not too dark but not super light either. 
I wanted a nice in between grey and that's what I got.

Also I reviewed these since there aren't nearly enough good reviews of the kirei's on dark eyes, especially this color. And since my eyes are a very very dark brown, this is as dark as they're going to get on eyes.

That's it for now. Hope everyone is having happy holidays and some quality family/friends time!

Until next time.
I leave this photo of my home area. It's snowing like crazy recently. 
SO MUCH SNOW.

Massive Circle Lens review// Dolly+ Red, Kimchi Bambi Blue, Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green

Ho there! It's been a super long while!

Graduation kept me on my toes and it was a hectic ride but finally I'm done and ready to get my name out there and hopefully get a studio job this summer! Can't give up!

But in the meantime, here's some seriously belated reviews.


First up are my new green lenses.


The package from Lens Village arrived super quickly!


Came with a free lens case and bubble wrapped nicely~



With Flash


Without flash.
Overall the color is pretty natural and doesn't stand out too much. But in the right lighting, it really pops~

Vibrancy : 4
Comfort: 5

They're also amazingly comfortable for their size. I can't even feel them in my eyes once I pop them in. I can't wait to keep wearing them.

Out of the three, this is the comfiest pair of lenses to date!




These lenses are from  I.Candy  which can be found here!
Bubble wrapped nicely~




Without flash! 




With flash! They're super vibrant and I adore them. Definitely one of the largest lenses I own and totally noticeable.

Out of all three, these are the second most comfiest.

Vibrancy: 4.75
Comfort: 4.5


These ones are from Japanese Candy  !!!


Super vibrant color




Sorry for my super tired face. It was before Sakuracon so con prep was killing meeeeee. My left eye is the one worn backwards. Right eye is correct way to wear them. As you can see, they're super amazingly vibrant in flash.

These ones are not my most comfy lenses but for a con day, I survived!

Vibrancy: 5
Comfort: 4.25


And that's my big update.
I think I've reviewed all the lenses I own to date.
What a task.

Until next time!

new camera//phone case; HAULS and WANTS

It's been hectic these past few days!
School started again and the new year is full of new friends and new experiences!
I made it my New Years' resolution to be more friendly and outgoing and a more loving girlfriend.

Here are a few photos from my new camera!
The things I experienced in these photos were [in no particular order]... a homemade takoyaki party with my classmates from 3D at my school!
A very drunk New Years.
A photoshoot on a rainy day.
A dear friend's birthday lunch downtown.
A very drunk night with some classmates from VFS in which I found the Mystery Machine and took pics with my cosplay friends.
And various other things!




Boyfraaaan and I. <3




 During the photoshoot we got soaked. My hair is looking a little messy because of the rain haha.
 New year's soba with my classmates Eiki and Maria! 
 Eiki cooking takoyaki.
Seriously we were all so full it was awful haha
 These actually aren't my nails. They're my friend's nails.
My guy friend's nails.

His hands are so graceful it makes me sick.
 I bought 3 new revlon polishes in coral pink, mint, and midnight blue. I couldn't resist trying them out ASAP...
On my guy friend's nails ha ha ha
My Kimchi Bambi Blue lenses finally came a week ago!
A review will be coming soon!
My friend got me some goodies and they're all absolutely stunning.
I haven't had a chance to look through all of it yet.
Diamond Lash on top
Daiso brand on bottom
 
Me wearing said lashes and Kimchi Bambi Blue lenses! I love them. So gyaru and so totally new to me.
 This phone case was commissioned by me from Anna Chen of jelly-anna.com
It's so cute and definitely what I wanted. It's so over the top and glamorous imo
The boyfriend thinks it's ridiculous but what does he know? HAHA
Thanks so much Anna! <3




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But yeah it's been great this new year and I can't wait to see what it brings!
But I can't lie, lately it's been snowing like crazy and I'm already eagerly looking forward to spring.

Here's some items I'd like to get for the new season.

A lace overlay skirt. In pink would be gorgeous but I have no idea where I could get this! I found it on tumblr.

;____;


I've been wanting a white chiffon top for at least 2 years now.

AAAND I bought white ankle socks with lace trim so I can finally coord my black 99 JC's with spring clothes!

Reviews on revlon polish

Kimchi Bambi Blue


I leave you with a hilarious photo I took and photoshopped. My one friend in the driver's window took the photo and before we could take another pic my camera ran out of batteries. So I took a photo of him in cosplay and photoshopped him in.
/solution

You can tell we were all pretty drunk.
