Birthday Gets! + New Lenses :)

Hey guys!!!

Let me just say first how sorry I am for not making my Halloween post as promised (especially to Momo!!! I'm so sorry ;~; I intend on doing/creating a Christmas Tag post soon!!)... I spent my night completing an accounting exam instead (but I got a 92 so it cancels out lol). Aside from that, I didn't actually go anywhere or do anything on that day :( however, I DID go to a Halloween themed event a few days earlier with my coworkers :D 

Raven's Night was a belly dance ode to the villains from many different fairy tales and stories. The sponsor for Raven's Night is also a belly dancer, and was the opening act; she was the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz. She was also Green Ivy from the Batman series. Her performances were stunning!! When the website uploads the 2013 videos and pictures, I'll try and remember to put some here or the next Halloween post (we couldn't take pictures/videos of the main performances). 

Now, onto the fun part...

I turned 24 on the 21st of last month!!! I don't feel any different just yet... my patients keep telling me the body goes downhill at 30 and up -_-; so I guess that makes me one year closer to who knows what. I got a lot of awesome stuff from my friends and family, as well as a few things I bought for myself.

1. Musical Box

My mom (grandmother) is always buying stuff like this, she had completely forgotten that she bought me a similar music box for Christmas!! It's still very cute though, but I always tell her to tell me what she's going to buy so that we don't have duplicate gifts coming in lol

2. Bungee Chair

I've ALWAYS wanted one of these since I first sat in one at Brookstone, I just never wanted to dish out the money for it ;~; but that day was my spoiling day so I bought it! Now I can sit comfortably while watching TV or playing video games!

3. Katy Perry Perfume

O.M.G.... Ever since I received a sampler of this fragrance I needed it in my life, but I never wanted to dish out the cash for it. It's moments like these that make me realize how attentive my boyfriend is to what I say, he makes me so happy ^O^ I was expecting something generic like flowers or a necklace, but he bought me this instead! I won't deny, I spazzed. A lot. Now I've been wearing it almost everyday- I should have said how much I loved Katy Perry's new fragrance Killer Queen as well XD

4. Sensationnel Synthetic Weaving Kanubia Easy 5 Elysee Wave

One of my least favorite birthday gifts to myself, was this hair I purchased and made into a wig. There was only review for it, stating that it tangled easily but I wanted it sooooo badly that I couldn't resist, that and it was only $19.99 (samsbeauty.com). Plus this was my first time making a wig so I didn't want to invest in something expensive. The hair does indeed tangle easily, it began to knot up within the first week of wearing it. It also can't curl very well, despite the fact that it's supposed to withstand temperatures of 350 to 410 degrees (I did break a few wig care rules though, so it's cooperating for now). I'll do a video review of it eventually with all the details.

5. Bulk Hair

IF I manage to get to last through the end of December or maybe even mid-January, I've been considering changing up my hair style to a very simple up-do that involves the use of bulk hair. I've been interested in this particular style for a while, and I've researched plenty of videos on YouTube for ideas, it's very simple and very versatile. :)

6. E.L.F. Kabuki Brush

The BEST $6 I've ever spent in my life! I've never felt a brush soooo luxurious as this one, and for such an amazing price too! I had heard a few good things through the grapevine about this brush and I was getting sick and tired of my old CVS kabuki leaving bristles on my face. This brush is just perfect :) MAC? MAC who? Lol

7. I.Fairy Dolly Eye Plus in Grey!!!!!!

I think I can safely say that no matter how hard I try, I always end up going back to this particular style of circle lenses, the two-toned ones that are designed to blend in with your eye color. I didn't even realize it until after purchasing these lenses. I guess this is just my personal preference from now on out :) I'll let my camwhoring do the talking for me, I love Love LOVE these lenses!!

Forgive me, as in some of the pictures I had my curtain pulled back, whilst in others it was closed, but I think all in all you get the idea of these lovely lenses. I can't wait to order more lashes and such to get back on track with practicing gyaru make up again, it's really been waaaaay to long and I feel so out of touch ;o; but I'll be back!! >=O

Bye Bye For Now ~ |||

Review: Fynale J01 Honoo Blue Circle Lenses

Did I say "end of the year soon"? I'm late as usual heh-heh.... ^^;

But as stated a few posts ago, I wanted to put up my review on my first pair of blue circle lenses!!

Let me tell you... these lenses are beautiful! I wanted to do something daring as well as bold, and these lenses provide a nice blend of both. The style is similar to my dreamy.i brown lenses, in the fact that you have the bold black outer ring, and just the one color for the inner ring, with dithering effects to help blend with your natural eye color. However, they also have a cute little heart ring that traces the inside of the blue, so in some cases, it looks a bit odd on some eye colors (in my opinion). Again, because these are blue lenses, they usually look STUNNING on people with naturally blue eyes, but I love these lenses a lot on myself too! 

Click to go to the website!!

This was my first time ordering from Love Shoppingholics, and based on my previous experiences, they're on par in both shipping time (about 2.5 weeks) and price (about $24.00 USD). I have no complaints, and I feel like I am able to find actual pictures of people wearing the lenses more than what I've come across on other circle lens sites (so it's a tie between here and Geo Lens House on Facebook).

SOOOOOO onto the mini  review and what few pictures I've remembered to take way back when!

Comfort: 4.0

These lenses are quite comfy, though once that 7th hour started to creep up on me, my eyes started to dry out, but nonetheless, almost 7 whole hours with minimal discomfort is freaking awesome!! 

Color: 4.5

This. Color. Is. So. Beautiful. It's clear and vibrant and so lovely! It was exactly what I had been looking for to put one foot outside of my usual comfort zone. I have few regrets with such a nice color. 

Style: 4.0

The inner heart ring is ridiculously cute, but sadly it's pointless if no one can see the ring :( because of my eye color, I never even knew the little ring of hearts existed!!

Enlargement: 3.5

These lenses are 15mm diameter lenses, the largest pair I've ever owned I think, but for what ever reason, they don't look all that big, but that could also be because the outer black ring isn't so prominent in the following pictures.

Price: 5.0 

Bright, comfy, good quality lenses for under $25.00? Yes please!!

Website: 5.0

Love Shoppingholics website is very cute, I'm not the biggest fan of pink, but I can put this on my exception list!!

And finally, the pictures!!! These aren't gyaru-styled photos at all, I only took a few pictures of me wearing them around the first few weeks or so of having them, then forgot every time after that ^^; But enjoy anyway!!! I think these are the first pictures of me playing with my new camera? So worth going broke for... but that's for another post! Be sure to click on the pictures to enlarge them to see the full detailing of the lenses too. ^^

That's all for now.... Bye bye!!!! 

Recovery...

I've abandoned taking care of my blog, and for that I must sincerely apologize...

There's been a lot going on in my life, aside from school being a bunch of crud muffins, my family and I recently laid a loved one to rest. I don't think I've fully recovered from it, it isn't until someone is gone that you start to notice all the little things missing in your life. I have many precious memories, and now, it's all I have left. My grandmother is taking this full force of all this and the toll it's taken on her has me worried, she's getting better, but it's still hard. We've all been overwhelmed by the love and support from family and friends, it's been nothing short of amazing.

Even so, I've strayed away so far from gyaru, I wouldn't be able to tell you left from right. I try and stay tuned in but I haven't worn full face makeup in months. In fact, I just usually put on some lip gloss and head out the door. Yeah, that's how bad things have been, I've just been way to depressed to even care about make up, let alone take the time out to put some on.

I do intend to recover, but I just need more time... I also intend to get those other posts up, of this I am sure. Be patient with me, it's not over yet. 

P.S. Read/Watch Fairy Tail, it's awesome :)

Bye Guys, I'll be back soon! Like, near-the-end-of-the-month soon!!
